"Yes!"
After stabilizing himself midair, Li Xu shouted excitedly, blood boiling with battle spirit.
"Let's try that again Dragon Fist Explosion!"
A fiery, draconic aura coiled around his fist as a majestic golden dragon phantom emerged. A thunderous roar echoed faintly across the sky, and Li Xu charged toward Hit like a blazing comet.
Hit's expression turned serious, but behind the stoicism gleamed excitement. In this moment, he wasn't an assassin anymore he was a pure warrior, lost in the ecstasy of combat.
BOOM!
Their fists collided with devastating force. The golden dragon shattered instantly as both were blown backward, yet not a shred of energy leaked out from the clash. Everything was perfectly contained.
"We're doomed! Planet Sadala is done for!" Caulifla cried, covering her eyes.
"Open your eyes nobody's dying today," Li Yi chuckled confidently.
"Wait, what happened? Is Sadala really okay?" Caulifla peeked through her fingers, still shaken from the explosive clash.
"Dad controlled his energy perfectly. He mirrored Hit's strike and neutralized all of the overflow," Li Yi explained with admiration. "That kind of control is easy to describe but almost impossible to execute."
"I knew Uncle wouldn't mess up!" Caulifla said, grinning in relief.
"Oh? Wasn't someone freaking out earlier about the planet blowing up?" Li Yi teased, rolling his eyes. Caulifla didn't notice the jab.
Up above, the battle resumed.
"If we keep this up, neither of us will ever win," Hit said calmly between exchanges.
"Heh, I'm holding back because I don't want Planet Sadala destroyed," Li Xu replied with a smirk. "But if I really wanted to beat you I have other options."
"Oh?" Hit raised an eyebrow. "I'm curious. Let's see what gives you that confidence."
"Then watch carefully," Li Xu warned.
Suddenly, a silver-white aura surrounded Hit an unfamiliar but oppressive sensation pressed down on him. His sharp instincts flared. He knew this energy.
"This... this is time energy?" Hit's eyes narrowed. He recognized it instantly.
His body tensed as he tried to move but it felt like wading through a viscous swamp.
BOOM!
Li Xu appeared in front of him with blinding speed and slammed a punch deep into Hit's gut.
"How is this possible? He's not moving faster I'm slowing down!" Hit realized in a flash of insight.
With his extensive understanding of time-based techniques, it didn't take long for him to analyze the truth. This wasn't just enhanced speed, it was manipulation of his own flow of time.
"You figured it out already?" Li Xu grinned. "But just understanding it doesn't mean you can break it."
This was Li Xu's newest technique developed over the last three years. Condensed Time Skill (Ning Shi Gong) a different application of time manipulation than his old move, the Flash Time Skill (Shan Shi Gong).
Unlike Flash Time, which temporarily splits off a separate timeline to move ahead, Condensed Time targets the opponent. It disconnects their body from the universal time axis, slowing the flow of time around them.
Flash Time could be disrupted if the opponent's power overwhelmed the constructed timeline. Condensed Time solved that vulnerability, it didn't build a new timeline; it distorted the opponent's time context directly.
The stronger the target, the more resistance but even so, the effect was substantial. Against Hit, the slowdown was nearly 30% a crippling change at this level of combat.
BOOM!
Li Xu activated Condensed Time again. His body blurred as he launched another blitz of attacks. Hit, slowed and unable to respond in time, took several heavy blows directly.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
One after another, Li Xu's fists drove into Hit's defenses, sending tremors through the sky. Hit gritted his teeth, unable to match the rhythm.
"Dad's incredible!" Bra shouted, her eyes shining.
"Weird… why does Hit seem like he's getting weaker?" Li Yi muttered.
"Uncle must've used some secret technique! I'm definitely learning this when he's done!" Caulifla said, practically bouncing with excitement.
"Even if he teaches you, you won't get it," Li Yi replied flatly.
BOOM!
Li Xu landed a thunderous punch into Hit's stomach again. Hit's aura shattered as he fell to one knee, clutching his midsection, temporarily incapacitated.
"Looks like I win this round," Li Xu said with a triumphant smile. Hit had no way to break free from the time slowdown in his current state.
Li Xu stepped back, lowered his stance, and allowed his glowing Super Saiyan 4 form to fade. His fur vanished, and the golden glow receded.
"Victory!" Bra cheered.
A few moments later, Hit slowly stood up, still holding his stomach.
"Why didn't you finish me?" he asked, breathing heavily.
"You're a rare opponent," Li Xu said honestly. "I want to fight you again stronger, faster. There's no better way to grow."
"Next time… I won't lose." Hit said, his expression calm but determined.
"We'll see if you can back that up," Li Xu grinned.
"You're a strange one," Hit said, the faintest smirk playing on his lips. "But I respect your strength. I'll train hard and challenge you again."
"I doubt it'll take long. Just don't show up weak, or I won't even bother," Li Xu teased.
"I should be the one saying that to you," Hit shot back, then took to the skies, disappearing into the distance.
"Dad!" Li Yi, Bra, and Caulifla flew up to him.
"Uncle, you scared me to death! I really thought Planet Sadala was gonna blow!" Caulifla complained.
"Yeah… I should've picked a better battlefield. Next time, we'll fight in deep space," Li Xu said, scratching the back of his head. With power on this scale, even cosmic battles risked destroying nearby planets or entire systems.
"Uncle, that move you used at the end can you teach me?" Caulifla asked excitedly.
"That technique uses advanced time manipulation. You won't be able to learn it not yet," Li Xu shook his head.
"Told you!" Li Yi smirked smugly.
"Hmph! If I can't learn it, neither can you!" Caulifla pouted.
"If you're interested, I can teach you something more practical.Instant Transmission. It's based on spatial theory, much easier to learn," Li Xu offered.
"Really? Yes! Please teach me, Uncle!" Caulifla shouted. She'd seen Instant Transmission before and always dreamed of mastering it—being able to travel anywhere in the blink of an eye was too tempting.
Li Xu raised his right hand and pressed his index and middle finger against the foreheads of Caulifla and Li Yi. A soft glow passed from his fingertips into their minds.
"There you now understand the basics. Practice it often, and you'll get the hang of it."
