Four-Star Dragon wiped away a trickle of hot blood from the corner of his mouth and exclaimed in sincere admiration.
"I could feel it. If you had used just a fraction more force in that punch, my leg would probably be broken."
"You not only withstood my absolute heat, but you also achieved an incredible level of perfection in the connection of your moves and the control of your power."
Faced with the praise from the Four-Star Dragon, Son Satoshi simply smiled.
"You're not bad either. To be able to fight me for so long without using ki blasts, relying solely on physical strength and skill, you're one of the best in the entire universe."
Son Satoshi's hands hung naturally at his sides; in truth, he knew everything perfectly well.
In what appeared to be an extremely intense hand-to-hand combat, neither of them actually revealed their true trump cards.
Son Satoshi knew that the crimson Four-Star Dragon in front of him was not his true form, nor was it his full strength!
In the original story, the Four-Star Dragon's true strength lies in what he does after "molting"!
Once he sheds the crimson outer shell used to suppress power and temperature, he will reveal his true " Golden Form "!
That is the true color of the sun, and its ultimate form when its speed, power, and temperature reach their absolute peak!
The reason why Son Satoshi initially only transformed into the most basic " Super Saiyan God (Red God)" to fight him was because...
Instead of immediately activating Super Saiyan Blue, it was because he realized that his opponent hadn't used their true strength either.
If you were to use an overwhelming level of skill to defeat such an upright opponent right from the start, you would lose the meaning of a martial arts exchange.
Rather than a life-or-death struggle, the two were exchanging blows and enjoying the pure pleasure that martial arts bring.
Just as Son Satoshi was about to speak, telling the Four-Star Dragon to finish its warm-up and unleash its true power...
"Swish! Swish!"
Two extremely sharp whistling sounds tore through the air, like two sharp swords ripping apart the clouds above.
These two figures, carrying an overwhelming and suffocating aura, crashed down like two meteorites onto the ruins at the edge of the battlefield!
The gale subsided.
It revealed Son Goku and Vegeta in their wild, red-haired Full-Power Super Saiyan 4 form.
"Phew... I made it!"
As soon as Son Goku landed, his eyes were glued to the Four-Star Dragon opposite him.
He felt the extremely hot and fierce martial arts aura lingering in the air, and the excitement in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"How enviable..."
Son Goku swallowed hard, looking longingly at Son Satoshi was floating in mid-air, his tone full of sourness.
"Big brother, you actually picked such a good opponent right away! I was sensing the battle aura between you two from a distance just now, and it made me so eager to fight!"
Vegeta, standing to the side, didn't act like a starving ghost like Son Goku.
But his constantly clenching and unclenching fists, and his green eyes flashing with intense fighting spirit, also betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Hmph. Kakarot is right."
"Damn Kaxiu, even his luck is so good. Those weaklings I encountered were utterly pathetic, not even worthy of being used as a warm-up! It can't even be called a battle."
Vegeta snorted coldly, staring at the Four-Star Dragon.
"Only someone with a pure martial spirit like this is qualified to be Saiyan's opponent. Kaxiu, your luck is truly enviable."
Looking at these two guys who suddenly burst onto the battlefield like sharks that had smelled blood.
The Four-Star Dragon was slightly taken aback, then noticed Son Goku's arrival.
" Son Goku? You really came."
The fighting spirit in the Four-Star Dragon intensified.
But after glancing at Son Satoshi and then at Goku and Vegeta, he ultimately adhered to martial ethics, extinguishing the flames on his body and ceasing his fighting stance.
He was a martial artist who valued fair one-on-one duels. Now that his opponent had received strong reinforcements, it would seem rather tactless of him to continue the fight.
Seeing that the Four-Star Dragon had voluntarily withdrawn, Son Satoshi chuckled.
"You two are pretty quick. Looks like you've taken care of all the small fry?"
Son Satoshi looked at them with a half-smile.
"Of course! I even used the Kamehameha to get here as soon as possible!"
Son Goku proudly took credit.
Son Satoshi shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to these two battle maniacs.
He turned around and turned his gaze back to the Four-Star Dragon opposite him.
"Alright, now that everyone's here..."
Son Satoshi's voice became somewhat deep, carrying a hint of anticipation.
"In my opinion, Four-Star Dragon, there's no need for you to keep hiding it anymore, is there?"
"We had a great warm-up session. Now, shed that heavy red shell and unleash your full potential!"
"Let me see the true color of the sun."
Upon hearing this,
Not only were Goku and Vegeta taken aback, but even the Four-Star Dragon himself was also taken aback!
"How... how did you know?!"
A flicker of disbelief flashed in the Four-Star Dragon's crimson eyes.
The secret of their molting and evolution should be known to no one else in the world except the Dragon God who created them and a few of their kind!
Son Satoshi didn't even test his own aura to the fullest extent, yet he immediately asserted that he was still hiding his strength, and even accurately described the "red shell" and "molting"!
After a brief moment of shock.
The Four-Star Dragon suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! As expected of you! Son Satoshi! The title of the strongest in the universe is truly well-deserved!"
The laughter of the Four-Star Dragon was filled with pride and admiration.
"It seems my laughable hiding methods are completely transparent to your eyes!"
"Since you've already seen through me, and you haven't even used your true strength while playing with me."
The Four-Star Dragon's eyes instantly became incredibly sharp and fanatical.
"If I continue to hide, it would be the greatest insult to you and to this battle!"
At this moment, Goku and Vegeta and his companion, who had just arrived, were also shocked and stared wide-eyed upon hearing this conversation.
"What?! Such powerful energy, and it's not even his full strength?!"
Son Goku's mouth dropped open in astonishment.
"This guy... he was actually hiding his strength?!"
Vegeta gasped, his fighting spirit surging even higher.
"Watch closely! This is... the true power of my Four-Star Dragon!!!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar from the Four-Star Dragon!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The entire ruins of Red Sun City began to tremble violently!
The already terrifyingly high temperature on the Four-Star Dragon's body began to rise exponentially!
"Click... click click..."
A series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds emanated from the Four-Star Dragon's body.
Before Goku and Vegeta and the other's shocked eyes, huge cracks began to appear on the hard, crimson dragon scales covering the Four-Star Dragon's body!
And deep within those cracks, an extremely dazzling and pure golden light shone through!
That was an absolute radiance, like the core of the sun, enough to blind mortals!
"He's about to shed his skin!"
Son Goku shouted excitedly.
Seeing this, Son Satoshi's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
He stood quietly with his arms crossed over his chest, waiting for the Four-Star Dragon to display its peak golden form.
Goku and Vegeta and Bebe held their breath, filled with anticipation.
"Drink it all!!!!"
With the final roar of the Four-Star Dragon, his crimson outer shell shattered completely, turning into dust that filled the sky!
"Buzz----!!!!"
In that instant!
An extremely terrifying light, like a supernova explosion, instantly engulfed the entire battlefield!
The light was so bright, so extremely bright, that it turned into a pure white haze!
Even super-strong individuals like Son Satoshi and Goku and Vegeta experienced momentary "blindness" in their retinas under such sudden and intense light when they were completely unprepared!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
In that extremely brief moment when everyone's attention was drawn away by the golden light!
An unexpected change has occurred!
It lacked any earth-shattering grandeur.
There was no deafening roar.
This is the extremely hot core region, where the temperature reaches tens of thousands of degrees Celsius, erupted from the Four-Star Dragon.
A chilling, deathly aura emanated from it, completely out of place with its surroundings, even the opposite of it.
Like a venomous snake lurking in the polar night, it flashed by in an instant!
A thin, icy blue beam of light, imbued with the terrifying chill of Absolute Zero, silently shot out from a dark corner of the ruins!
"Call out----!!!"
