Martial Arts Skills

Hearing that their combat techniques were riddled with flaws, some people wore expressions of defiance and said: "King, we Saiyans have been in training since birth; our combat techniques are already extremely mature. How can you say they are full of flaws?"

"Very well! It seems you all don't believe me. Words alone are not proof."

"Bardock, Broly, step forward."

No sooner had Gaino finished speaking than Bardock and Broly stepped out.

"I am giving you a task now: use every means of attack at your disposal to strike Laiya. As long as your attacks are effective, it will prove that your combat techniques are indeed mature."

"What do you say, Broly, Bardock?"

Bardock and Broly exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

"Laiya, go down and play with them!" With that, Laiya jumped directly into the Training Ground.

Bardock and Broly's figures also landed on the Training Ground.

"Let my gesture be the signal." Gaino raised his hand and said, "The spar begins now."

Bardock and Broly exploded with power and charged toward Laiya. Laiya stood in the center of the Training Ground, watching their attacks and shaking her head. The moment they powered up, she saw through their intentions. Bardock and Broly threw fierce punches toward her.

Just as their fists were about to make contact, Laiya's body flickered slightly, and Bardock and Broly brushed past her side.

Seeing their attacks dodged, Bardock used his waist strength to pivot, his fist following through. Meanwhile, Broly unleashed a roundhouse kick directly at Laiya.

Laiya remarked: "This move is decent, but what a pity—it's too slow." Laiya struck out rapidly. Only the sound of thud-thud rang out, and Bardock and Broly were sent flying backward.

Bardock performed a kip-up, stood straight, and assumed a fighting stance once more. Broly floated in the air, preparing his ultimate move.

"Heh, one attacking from the ground, one from the air. The idea is good, but without sufficient strength, any strategy is meaningless."

As soon as Laiya finished speaking, she flashed to a position above Broly. Bardock hurriedly shouted: "Watch out, Broly!" But Broly hadn't even reacted. Laiya clasped her hands together and delivered a hammer blow, smashing Broly into the ground.

Having dealt with Broly, Laiya appeared before Bardock again. Because her speed was too great, Bardock couldn't block her attack. Laiya's elbow strike landed on his abdomen, the immense force causing Bardock to spit out colorless fluid as he collapsed to the ground instantly.

Broly crawled out of the crater, gasping for air.

Seeing that Broly could still stand, Laiya said to him: "As expected, your constitution is truly formidable to still be standing after taking my heavy blow. However, a battle must have a winner and a loser, so just like Bardock, you should stay down!"

No sooner had she spoken than Laiya appeared before Broly in the blink of an eye and threw a punch, sending him crashing to the ground.

Seeing the outcome decided, Gaino immediately shouted: "The match is over! You have all seen the result—Laiya wins completely."

Every Saiyan watching felt a slight sense of dejection seeing their strongest warriors defeated so easily by Laiya.

Seeing their expressions, Gaino roared: "Lift your heads! Look at yourselves—and you call yourselves elites? You can't even handle this little bit of a setback."

"I tell you, you should be grateful. Be grateful that Broly and Bardock were fighting Laiya; if they were fighting an enemy, they would be corpses by now."

"I arranged for Bardock and Broly to fight Laiya not for you to watch a show, but to identify the problems in your combat. Saiyans love to strike enemies with overwhelming power, but no matter how strong your power is, if your attacks don't land, it's all wasted effort."

"Just now, Bardock and Broly's attacks were fierce, but did you see them have any effect on Laiya? Clearly, no. They were just continuously releasing their ki while their attacks missed entirely. That is a waste of energy. Such attacks are exhausting; when your stamina runs out, that is when you meet your end."

Hearing Gaino's words, cold sweat broke out on the backs of all the Saiyans. They realized he was right; if their attacks were ineffective, only death awaited them.

"Laiya, come here."

Gaino took out two Senzu Bean items and had Laiya give them to Bardock and Broly. As the Senzu Bean took effect, Bardock and Broly became full of vigor once again.

Bardock and Broly consciously returned to their places in the ranks.

Gaino said: "Does anyone still claim their combat techniques are mature?"

Everyone remained silent.

"Good. It seems you all admit your combat techniques need improvement. From now on, combat training will be our primary focus."

"Now, I will take you to a place. Everyone, hold hands and form a circle."

The group complied, and Gaino activated Instant Transmission to arrive at a desolate planet.

The group was very curious about where they were.

Gaino said: "From now until the six-month training period ends, you will all train here, and your opponents will be Laiya and me."

"Right, no more nonsense. Training begins now. Training requires an environment, so Gaino directly cast the Gravity Technique. Everyone suddenly felt the gravity around them increase significantly, the sudden pressure causing many to stumble. Only a few stood firmly: Bardock, Broly, Bum, Tasha, and a few other elite-level warriors."

"My requirement is that under 100 times gravity, you must all freely execute your attack moves while also enduring sudden attacks from Laiya and me."

"The pressure I am exerting now is 50 times gravity. Most of you are not yet accustomed to it, so adapt to it first before we train."

Everyone struggled to move their feet, feeling how difficult it was. To execute attack moves under such pressure was clearly a high level of difficulty.

Laiya said: "Brother Gaino, isn't this training a bit too rushed? They aren't even used to 50 times gravity, and they have to attack us too. This is too hard."

Gaino said: "To gain strength, one must accept training more difficult than that of ordinary people. Don't worry! It's only 50 times gravity. Didn't the two of us go from 20, 30, and 50 times to the 100 times we have now? Rest assured, Saiyans are capable of constantly surpassing their limits. I believe they can do it."
