"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A bizarre battle was unfolding in the Ring.
The Energy Shield around the Ring flashed from time to time under the impacts of the battle, as though a monster were repeatedly attacking it.
With each impact, Broly let out another cry of pain.
The opening of the battle had defied everyone's expectations. Hit had seized the upper hand from the outset, completely overwhelming Broly.
Broly, who had gone undefeated through four consecutive matches without so much as an injury, was now bleeding profusely.
Several gruesome wounds had appeared on his body, blood pouring from them.
"Broly actually got hurt? Whis, what's going on?"
Beerus asked in surprise.
As a God of Destruction Candidate, Broly had naturally sparred with Beerus before.
In Beerus's experience, Broly was like a slab of iron. No matter how hard he hit him, he was always fine.
Yet now, after just a few punches from Hit, Broly had suffered injuries like these?
Whis stroked his chin, looking equally puzzled.
Just then, Lin Chen spoke up beside them. "Hit has two signature techniques. One of them is called Vital Strike."
"He's a professional assassin by trade, and his focus is on killing with a single blow. That means he can identify and attack his opponent's vital points."
"He's found Broly's vital points. That's why Broly's injuries are so severe."
Beerus's expression darkened. "No wonder he asked Champa for permission to kill earlier. So that was why!"
"Wait, you said he has two signature techniques. What's the other one?"
"The other one is called Time-Skip."
Lin Chen explained, "You may have already noticed that we can't track Hit's attacks with the naked eye. That isn't because he's using something like Instant Transmission. The moment Hit attacks, he skips forward in time."
"Skips forward in time?"
