Lin Fan extended a finger, adding his point:
"There is one more thing you all have overlooked: the Super Saiyan God form does not consume much ki or power, which means it is better suited for prolonged combat."
Whis covered his mouth and laughed upon hearing this, looking at Lin Fan with eyes full of approval:
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin Fan is absolutely right. I was just about to bring that up."
Everyone looked at Whis in unison, waiting for him to continue.
Whis shifted his tone, deliberately keeping them in suspense:
"However, if you look closer, in a little while, Son Goku's power will no longer be weaker than Vegeta's."
As soon as these words were spoken, Piccolo and the others were stunned, each of them filled with confusion.
Krillin scratched his head, unable to help but ask:
"Lord Whis, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Goku still has hidden power he hasn't unleashed?"
Piccolo frowned, echoing the sentiment in a deep voice:
"That's right, Son Goku is already in the Super Saiyan God form. Could there be an even stronger transformation?"
Son Gohan was also filled with bewilderment; he had watched Son Goku train with his own eyes. Breaking through to Super Saiyan God in seven days was already absurd enough—could he really get even stronger?
The group chimed in one after another, all lost in speculation.
Only Lin Fan stood to the side with a faint smile on his face, feigning ignorance as he said:
"Who knows? Perhaps this is the potential of the Saiyans. We just need to wait and enjoy the show."
The battle high above grew increasingly intense, Vegeta's fists falling like a torrential rain, each strike carrying world-shattering power.
Son Goku relied on his perception of divine power to dodge and parry, yet he was gradually being forced onto the defensive.
Bang!
With another loud crash, Vegeta sidestepped Son Goku's punch, his left hand darting out like lightning to easily pin down the right leg Son Goku had kicked toward him.
Son Goku's pupils constricted; just as he tried to retract his leg, Vegeta's right fist had already slammed heavily into his abdomen.
"Urgh!"
Son Goku let out a muffled groan, his body flying backward for hundreds of meters like a kite with a broken string.
He clutched his stomach, unable to stop himself from coughing up a bit of bile, his face turning slightly pale:
"Damn it, this guy's power is no joke."
Son Goku wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling the sharp pain radiating from his abdomen, yet the fighting spirit in his eyes grew even more intense.
He grinned and shouted loudly at Vegeta:
"Hahaha! Super Saiyan 4 is truly strong!"
"I was holding back before because I was afraid of accidentally hurting you!"
"It seems I don't need to hold back anymore!"
"Vegeta! Watch closely! This is my full power!"
As his voice fell, Son Goku slowly closed his eyes.
Boom!
A divine aura, several times stronger than before, erupted violently from his body, the terrifying pressure spreading in all directions like a tangible mountain.
Vegeta, who had been charging forward, stopped in his tracks, his expression changing instantly.
He felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible mountain, his body unable to move, and he was forced to take three steps back before he could barely steady himself:
"What is this aura? How can it be this strong?"
Vegeta widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Son Goku.
The group on the ship below also sensed the anomaly. Krillin was the first to react; he pointed at Son Goku high above, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets as he exclaimed in shock:
"Look! Son Goku... his aura has changed!"
Everyone followed his gaze and instantly gasped.
They saw that the fiery red aura surrounding Son Goku was now flickering with a faint blue light, and immediately after, the red aura receded like a tide, replaced by a pure, pale blue aura.
That aura contained incredibly refined divine power, dazzling yet not blinding.
Looking at Son Goku's hair and eyebrows, they had also shifted from red to a pure, pale blue, and his pupils had synchronized to match, a presence that looked down upon the world radiating from him.
"This... what form is this?"
Krillin's mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg, his face full of shock.
Piccolo gasped, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"Seven days, first breaking through to Super Saiyan God, and now breaking through to a new form!"
"This guy, Son Goku, is simply a monster!"
Son Gohan was trembling with excitement, his fists clenched tight:
"Dad! That's too strong!"
"Is this Dad's new form? A form that transcends the Super God!"
Everyone was stunned by this scene, standing there dumbfounded and unable to speak a word.
Whis looked at Son Goku in the sky and covered his mouth with a chuckle. He turned his head to look at Lin Fan and introduced with a smile:
"Mr. Lin Fan, this form is called Super Saiyan God Blue."
"It's a name Son Goku came up with himself."
Lin Fan gave a faint smile and nodded, expressing his approval.
He looked at the blue figure in the sky and thought to himself:
Super Blue form, its power has already surpassed Super Saiyan 4.
However, this battle has only just begun.
Ten thousand meters above the ground, Vegeta looked at Son Goku's new form. He was stunned for a moment, then let out a cold snort, though the corners of his mouth curled up slightly to reveal an excited smile:
"You hid it well, Son Goku, to think you still had a form like this."
"But, this is what makes it interesting."
"If I could defeat you so easily, wouldn't this battle be far too boring?"
