In the arena, Sun Wukong did not move immediately, nor did he transform into Super Saiyan Blue from the start; instead, he stared intently at Hit.

Hit remained expressionless, waiting for Sun Wukong to make the first move.

As the two confronted each other, the atmosphere in the arena grew tense. Everyone watched the scene with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, eager to witness the spectacular duel between Sun Wukong and Hit.

"Hmph! Playing games, a Saiyan could never beat Hit! Universe 6 will be the ultimate winner!" Champa couldn't help but sneer.

"Shut your mouth! It's too early to judge the outcome, keep your eyes open and watch closely!" Beerus said in a low voice.

"Hmph!" Although Champa was annoyed, he didn't cause any more trouble.

On the field, Sun Wukong's expression suddenly relaxed. He looked at Hit and laughed, "Sorry, I was looking for your weakness just now! That's why I didn't attack."

Hit was taken aback, then replied, "You're quite honest."

Sun Wukong assumed a fighting stance and said, "Alright, let's begin our bout! I can't wait any longer!"

Hit said coolly, "Can't wait to lose? You're destined to never defeat me."

Sun Wukong smiled slightly, "Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to find your weakness after all."

Hit looked at him and said, "Enough talk, come on."

With that, Hit assumed his stance—still the same simple, ordinary posture.

But Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, sighing, "Truly, there isn't a single weakness to be found."

Seeing the tension between the two, the referee quickly interjected, "Both contestants are ready, let's begin!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Sun Wukong's expression hardened. In the next second, he charged forward, appearing before Hit in the blink of an eye to deliver a direct punch.

Hit's expression remained unchanged. His figure dodged like a phantom, and in the next instant, he appeared beside Sun Wukong, throwing a punch of his own.

Sun Wukong noticed it, but he couldn't react in time and was sent flying by Hit's blow.

Stumbling back, Sun Wukong clutched the spot where he was struck, wincing, "You're really strong! This pain—I've never encountered power like yours before!"

Hit looked at him coldly and said, "Use your full power; you cannot beat me."

Sun Wukong grinned and charged out once more.

Sun Wukong rushed at Hit, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks, but without exception, Hit dodged them all. His power was truly terrifying! Furthermore, by utilizing Time Skip, Hit landed heavy blows on Sun Wukong before he could even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes.

Such power was truly unbelievable.

Thud!

"Ugh!" After taking several brutal hits, Sun Wukong was sent flying. Just as he was about to fall off the ring, he performed a series of high-speed flips in the air and landed successfully.

Sun Wukong looked at Hit and smiled, "Although I paid a price, I've seen through your moves."

"What?!" Hit was stunned, then disbelieving. He scoffed, "Sun Wukong, you talk big, but I have no weaknesses!"

"Wrong! Hit! Your weakness has been grasped by me! From here on out, I'm getting serious!" Sun Wukong said with a confident smile.

"Tch!" Hit looked skeptical, his initial calm wavering.

"Is that guy Wukong joking? How could there be a flaw in an attack like that?" Krillin couldn't believe it.

"Damn it! That Kakarot!!" Vegeta was slightly more inclined to believe him. After all, Kakarot was his rival; he knew him well, and Wukong wasn't one to lie. Perhaps he really had discovered something!

"Haa!!" At that moment, Sun Wukong suddenly flared his energy. A powerful force erupted from within him as he transformed into Super Saiyan Blue.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Wrapped in blue light, Sun Wukong looked at Hit and said, "Hit, you are truly strong, but I won't lose to anyone either!"

Seeing Sun Wukong transform into a Super Saiyan Blue, Hit's eyes grew more cautious.

Undoubtedly, this form was incredibly powerful! Even he might feel a sense of dread if he weren't using Time Skip.

Thinking this, Hit assumed his stance and said, "Hmph! You say you've found my weakness? Sun Wukong, to be honest, I admire your courage! But my Time Skip has no weaknesses!"

"Is that so?!" Sun Wukong grinned, then suddenly raised his energy again, pushing his Super Saiyan Blue state to the limit!

Thud!

The next moment, Sun Wukong charged straight at Hit.

Hit's eyes narrowed. He executed his Time Skip as usual, and just as Wukong closed in, time froze for a split second!

Hit sneered and threw a punch.

Thud!

But there was no expected cry of pain. Instead, Sun Wukong had blocked Hit's attack!

"What?!" Hit was incredulous. He couldn't understand how Sun Wukong had actually blocked his Time Skip attack.

How was this possible?!

"Whoa! He blocked it!!"

Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected Wukong to actually withstand Hit's attack! How could he have done it?

"How is this possible?! How did Kakarot perceive that kind of attack?" Vegeta found it hard to accept.

"Time Skip means the opponent can stop time for 0.1 seconds, and that 0.1 seconds is enough to do many things! It's not just that simple, though; the opponent can manipulate time and use Time Skip to enter another parallel space. That is why Vegeta couldn't hit him, and why the opponent would inexplicably appear in another position," Luya explained slowly.

After a pause, Luya suddenly looked at Whis: "It's just like how Mr. Whis can manipulate time by using a temporal do-over. Someone like Hit, on the other hand, freezes time—likely for about 0.1 seconds. But for an expert, that 0.1 seconds is undoubtedly enough to accomplish a great deal!"

Whis nodded in agreement: "That is correct; that is the principle behind it. However, I am also quite surprised. Aside from myself, the fact that someone else is capable of manipulating time is truly difficult to comprehend!"

The group had a sudden realization; so that was how it worked...

"But even if you understand the principle behind the opponent's technique, overcoming it is still incredibly difficult. First, you need sufficient strength, and then you must achieve a state where your mind and body are one, allowing you to react in an instant! You have to predict where the opponent will be the next second! And Goku is currently predicting Hit's intentions," Whis explained.

"This... this is just too incredible!" Krillin and the others all watched the arena with complex expressions; none of them had ever imagined that such a maneuver was even possible!
