Growth

Hit had no idea how his opponent had managed to pinpoint his position so accurately!

Vegeta's lips curled upward!

"It's not too late to surrender now!"

Hit stared at Vegeta's confident face, his gaze exceptionally cold!

The next second, an astonishing aura erupted from Hit's body, purple energy flames surging endlessly!

Watching Hit unleash such a terrifying aura, Vegeta smiled. "So you're finally willing to attack at full power?"

"Let me see what you're really capable of!"

Then, Vegeta erupted with energy and charged rapidly at Hit, whose entire body was enveloped in purple flames!

His fierce fist immediately shot toward Hit, leaving a blue trail of energy across the arena that lingered for a long time!

Facing Vegeta's rapid assault, Hit swiftly met him head-on, and the two began exchanging blows in midair!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

Rings of white energy shockwaves continuously spread through the air!

Vegeta's attacks grew faster and faster, but Hit refused to be outdone. With his astonishing strength and Time-Skip, he blocked every one of Vegeta's rapid strikes!

Hit's eyes widened sharply as he immediately seized a gap in Vegeta's attacks to counterattack, his fierce fists raining down on Vegeta!

Vegeta was immediately forced onto the defensive, constantly dodging his opponent's fists!

Universe 7's rest area!

Goku stared intently at the two of them and muttered, "That guy is incredibly strong. He's actually overwhelming Super Saiyan Blue Vegeta!"

The battle in the air grew increasingly intense. Hit's attacks became faster and faster, and though Vegeta looked disheveled, he still barely managed to hold them off!

However, Vegeta was clearly extremely dissatisfied with the current situation. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly!

"I've clearly cracked his Time-Skip. So why am I still having such a hard time?"

Watching Vegeta struggle more and more on the arena, Whis suddenly smiled. "Vegeta seems to be getting anxious!"

"Although he has countered his opponent's 0.1-second Time-Skip, the opponent's own strength cannot be underestimated either!"

Hearing this, Beerus's expression turned serious as he kept his eyes fixed on the arena, because this match could be said to determine his fate!

On the arena, Hit looked at Vegeta and said flatly, "Although you understand the principle behind my Time-Skip, you still have to increase your speed enough to overcome that instant. That alone is already extremely difficult for most people. On top of that, you must predict my movements. Among all the opponents I've faced, you are the only one who has managed to do that!"

"However, this ends here!"

Hearing Hit's words, Vegeta's face flushed red with rage!

An astonishing burst of energy immediately erupted from Vegeta's body. Blue energy flames surged upward, and the blue flames seemed to be faintly evolving into a deeper shade of blue!

"How dare you look down on me!"

"I am Vegeta, Prince of the Saiyans!"

Vegeta charged straight at him!

Bang!

Urgh!!!

Hit clearly had not expected Vegeta's speed to suddenly increase so drastically. Caught off guard, he was struck in the abdomen by a punch!

Hit spat out some saliva, then suddenly burst into laughter!

"Excellent!"

"I can't remember how long it's been since I last had such an exhilarating battle!"

"You are the only one who has cracked my Time-Skip. But this is not my limit. The stronger my opponent is, the stronger I become. The next second, I will become even stronger!"

The next moment, Hit vanished from where he stood!

Bang!

Vegeta's fist collided heavily with Hit's fist!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

The two clashed several times in succession, fierce gusts of wind continuously sweeping outward!

Vegeta discovered in horror that his opponent's speed had actually increased!

Just as he was shocked, Hit's fist struck Vegeta's chin without any warning!

Thud! Thud! Thud!!!

Vegeta staggered back several steps before finally steadying himself!

"Vegeta!"

Son Goku's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief!

"Hit's Time-Skip duration has increased. It went from 0.1 seconds to 0.2 seconds. Does that guy really grow stronger when facing stronger opponents?" Ōten muttered!

Hearing this, Whis smiled. "Lord Ōten, Hit has actually grown!"

"In that short amount of time, Hit has undergone growth!"

The people around them were all dumbfounded upon hearing Whis's words. They had never expected their opponent's talent to be so high that he could grow just like that!

Hit withdrew his fists and shoved both hands into his pockets!

"I truly never expected it. I had never considered growth before, but after meeting you today, I realized that perhaps even I should grow!"

"Now, my Time-Skip has indeed expanded to 0.2 seconds!"

Vegeta's face was full of fury. "Bastard!"

In truth, Vegeta had been caught off guard. He had always thought that his opponent's Time-Skip only lasted 0.1 seconds, but when it increased to 0.2 seconds, he fell for it!

Seeing the even more formidable Hit, Champa in Universe 6's rest area wore an excited expression!

"As expected of Hit, he's truly impressive!"

"Hurry up and defeat him to claim victory. Then Universe 6 will win!"

Hit paid no attention at all to everyone's shock. He stretched out his right hand and beckoned at Vegeta!

Seeing his opponent's provocative gesture, Vegeta immediately flew into a rage!

He quickly leaped backward and fired energy blasts from his hands!

Seeing the rapidly approaching energy blasts, Hit jumped up swiftly!

But Vegeta had already anticipated his movement and fired another energy blast into the air!

Then countless more energy blasts shot out, and deafening explosions rang out in the sky!

Looking at the flames and thick smoke in the air, Vegeta laughed wildly. "Hahaha, die!"

"Growing stronger in battle has always been the Saiyans' ultimate trump card! What makes you think you can grow quickly and surpass me?"

"Now you know how powerful I am!"

At that moment, Hit instantly appeared behind Vegeta. Time-Skip activated in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, Vegeta had already been struck several times!

Faced with such rapid attacks, Vegeta had no time to predict them and was sent flying!

Then, an energy blast shot from Hit's hand!

Hah!!!

A tremendous explosion immediately erupted, filling the arena with blazing fire and thick smoke!

At that moment, Hit glanced at the referee and said, "Hey, Referee!"

"Shouldn't you confirm whether he's dead?"

The rest area!

Gohan asked anxiously, "Is Uncle Vegeta all right?"

Hearing Gohan's words, Ōten said softly, "Don't worry, Gohan!"

"Vegeta won't be defeated that easily!"

"Don't forget, he's the proud Prince of the Saiyans!"

Hearing Hit's call, the referee immediately began searching through the smoke for Vegeta!

At that moment, a blue figure shot out from the smoke!

He stopped in midair, gritted his teeth, and roared, "You think something like this can make me surrender?"

"You're underestimating Vegeta!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blue energy flames around Vegeta became even fiercer, and their color seemed to deepen by several shades!

Hit looked at Vegeta in the air, surprise appearing on his face as well!

"I didn't expect you to grow too. So Saiyans are also beings from another universe who can grow during battle!"

"It seems your obsession with victory is anything but ordinary!"

Hearing that!

Vegeta roared, "You think too highly of yourself. Compared to Saiyans, you're nothing more than a grain of sand!"
