"Heh heh. You should know that Super Saiyan Blue is the form that dominates the battlefield now. If you haven't reached that level and grasped the divine realm, then surpassing us isn't realistic," Vegeta said with a faint smile.
Luya nodded. "I understand that!"
Actually, he wanted to transform into Super Saiyan Blue too, but the conditions weren't right! He had asked Sun Wukong about it in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't transform. There was nothing he could do about it.
It seemed that transforming into Super Saiyan Blue required certain specific conditions!
But Luya wasn't in a hurry. He would wait for the system's message. He wondered whether completing this mission would earn him a Super Saiyan Blue bloodline reward...
"Enough, stop arguing and focus on the match. This will give you a better idea of Universe 6's strength!" Beerus suddenly spoke up.
At that, everyone fell quiet and looked toward the arena.
At that moment, Goku was facing off against Golden Bear. Neither of them spoke, and neither revealed much of his energy.
Clearly, they were both sizing each other up.
Just then, Goku suddenly smiled. "Hey! What's your name?"
"Just call me Golden Bear," he said calmly.
"Golden Bear... Hmm... It suits your appearance pretty well. But what I'm more interested in is your strength!" Goku smiled.
"Heh heh! Then let me show you!" Golden Bear gave him a strange grin, pounded his chest a few times, and then began bouncing rhythmically on his plump body. He picked up speed with every bounce!
Everyone watched in confusion. What was that big bear doing?
Goku furrowed his brow slightly, but soon noticed something was off about his opponent: he was moving faster and faster! So fast that even Goku felt a little unnerved!
"Ha!"
Golden Bear suddenly roared. His body bounced more than ten meters into the air, then shot toward Goku like a rocket!
Goku's expression changed. He darted aside, dodging Golden Bear's successive collisions.
Golden Bear was fast, too, and Goku could only evade in a panic. Suddenly, Golden Bear charged straight at him from behind!
Goku's expression darkened, and he thrust out his palm!
Bang!
He stopped Golden Bear in his tracks for an instant! Seizing the opening, Goku kicked him hard and sent him flying into the air!
Whoosh!
Goku vanished, then appeared in the air a moment later and slammed a devastating punch down at Golden Bear!
"Ah!"
Golden Bear let out a scream as his plump, springy body plummeted toward the ground!
Boom!
The entire ring rumbled, but strangely, it didn't break. Only a cloud of dust rose into the air!
That was because the moment Golden Bear hit the ground, his body bounced back up like a spring!
"Whoa! Impressive! He's fine after all that!" Goku said in surprise as he hovered in the air.
Golden Bear's face twisted with anger after taking that beating. He opened his mouth and fired blue Ki Blasts one after another, spraying them at Goku like raindrops!
Goku's expression tightened. He used the Flight Technique to dodge in a hurry!
Golden Bear pursued him, firing Ki Blasts without pause, as if they cost him nothing!
"Ha!!" Goku raised his hand and fired a Ki Blast of his own. It collided with Golden Bear's blast and exploded!
At the same time, Goku fired off one Ki Blast after another, unleashing a whole barrage of Prince Tactics!
After a brief stalemate, Golden Bear proved unable to keep up. His body bounced rapidly in every direction like a spring as he dodged!
A glint flashed in Goku's eyes. The next moment, he appeared behind Golden Bear and fired a Tri-Beam!
Golden Bear didn't dodge. He took the attack head-on!
Boom!
An explosion sent thick smoke billowing across the arena!
"That's great! It hit!" Krillin, Chi-Chi, and the others cheered in delight.
"No!" Vegeta and Luya both spoke up.
Luya watched the arena without surprise. In Dragon Ball, the thicker the smoke, the more likely it was that nothing had happened!
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Golden Bear stood there completely unharmed!
Goku looked surprised. "What? He took a Tri-Beam and came out completely unscathed!"
Golden Bear looked at Goku, then grinned. "That's it?"
Goku narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled. "You really are a powerful fighter from Universe 6!"
Two blue lights flashed in Golden Bear's eyes. The next moment, he suddenly fired countless Ki Blasts at Goku!
Goku snorted and could only dodge, while steadily closing in on his opponent!
"Hmph! This Super Saiyan from Universe 7 isn't much to look at!" Champa said disdainfully as he watched the fight.
"Heh heh!" Frost smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming strangely as he watched the battle.
"Lord Champa, you shouldn't underestimate them. Saiyans may be a low-culture race, but they're also known throughout the universe as a warrior people. They're not to be underestimated," Vados said calmly.
"Hmph! They're nothing special!" Champa replied, unconcerned.
In the arena, Goku dodged Golden Bear's attacks as he closed in on him. Then he threw a powerful punch!
Boom!
His fist landed solidly in Golden Bear's stomach, caving it in.
But Goku's expression changed.
"Heh heh! How was that? Your attacks barely tickle! What, haven't you eaten?" Golden Bear taunted Goku smugly.
Goku smiled faintly, then let out a low shout and powered up, raining punches down on Golden Bear's body.
But Golden Bear seemed not to feel a thing. He just stood there, looking completely unharmed.
The next moment, Golden Bear struck back, punching Goku in the face. Goku cried out and went skidding away!
Goku sprang to his feet with a kip-up and looked at Golden Bear in confusion. "What kind of body is that?"
Golden Bear replied smugly, "My body is incredibly elastic. It can ignore any attack! You can't beat me!"
Goku's expression grew serious.
In the stands, everyone was dumbfounded. How were they supposed to fight someone like that?
Luya watched without explaining anything. He knew Goku would find the weakness, so he didn't say a word.
Vegeta grew irritated. "What the hell? Why waste time beating such a weakling?"
Then he suddenly shouted, "Kakarot! Can't you use your head for once?!"
Goku paused at that. His eyes lit up, and he looked at Golden Bear. "Here I come!"
With that, he charged straight at Golden Bear!
Golden Bear simply watched him.
Smack!
The next moment, Goku rammed his head into Golden Bear's stomach!
Use your head...
"Idiot! I didn't mean for you to hit him with your head!" Vegeta sprang to his feet and roared.
Everyone: "..."
