"Bang!"
After speaking, Toppo delivered a powerful kick towards Superman, sending him soaring high into the air.
Superman's body traced an arc through the sky before crashing onto a distant open space.
Meanwhile.
Hit had also found his opponent, precisely Saitama.
"Take my punch." Saitama said, suddenly throwing a heavy punch towards Hit.
Hit's pupils contracted sharply, his expression changing color.
"Time Skip!"
The next moment, Hit immediately activated his Time Skip.
Time briefly stopped.
Immediately after, without the slightest hesitation, Hit landed a punch squarely on Saitama's face.
Saitama took the hit, stumbling backwards with a look of astonishment.
What's going on?
How did I get hit?
When I throw a punch, it has never been interrupted before.
Hit: "..."
Hit's expression also grew more serious.
That was really close just now.
Almost got hit by him.
This guy called Saitama is not simple, taking one of his punches would definitely not feel good.
"Again!" Saitama perked up, rubbing his fist.
Hit's expression became increasingly grave.
"Serious Punch!" Saitama roared, launching another attack towards Hit's location.
"Time Skip!"
Hit didn't hesitate, directly using Time Skip to freeze Saitama in place.
"Bang!"
Hit swiftly struck, thrusting a palm into Saitama's chest.
"Oww..."
Saitama cried out in pain, clutching his chest, nearly falling to his knees.
"That One Punch Man doesn't seem so impressive." Vegeta remarked nonchalantly.
Soya glanced sideways at Vegeta, saying nothing.
In some fan works, Teacher Saitama is portrayed as evenly matched with Super Saiyan Blue.
In this Destruction God candidate tournament, Saitama's strength should be considered decent, probably on par with Hit's, seemingly also reaching the level of Super Saiyan Blue.
But this guy is unlucky, just happened to encounter Hit.
"Tsk tsk... Completely countered." Whis sighed, "If contestant Saitama were fighting another contestant, he would have a great chance of winning..."
"How did he get hit?" Bardock tensed up, asking somewhat strangely.
"Hit has a signature move called Time Skip, this technique is very difficult to counter." Whis gave a simple explanation, not intending to elaborate in detail.
"Time Skip?" Bardock was taken aback, clearly not fully understanding.
"How do you write those two characters? 'Skip' as in 'flash'? 'Time' as in 'time'?" Soya inquired.
"Yes... Yes." Whis nodded.
"Analyzing from the literal meaning, this technique is related to time. 'Time Skip', 'Time Skip', making time skip, meaning to make time jump, right?" Soya mused, "So, perhaps using this can briefly stop time."
Whis: "..."
"Negative emotional value from Whis +111."
Merus widened his eyes, looking at Soya with shock.
You're too smart, aren't you?
You can analyze the characteristics of a skill just from its name?
It seems when fighting Saitama in the future, it's best not to call out the technique's name.
Otherwise, Saitama might easily analyze its specific function.
"Am I right?" Soya asked with a smile.
Whis: "..."
A brief silence.
"Yes, that's correct." Whis nodded, not denying it.
Bardock was also stunned.
Did King Saitama deduce the characteristics of this skill so easily?
"Briefly stopping time? Isn't that similar to that guy Guldo?" Raditz's eyes lit up.
"Guldo?" Whis hadn't heard of this person.
"He's a member of the Ginyu Force, he can stop time." Raditz grinned.
"Oh oh." Whis nodded perfunctorily, clearly not very interested in that person.
Although Guldo can also stop time, unfortunately his combat power is too low.
Compared to Hit, they are not on the same level at all.
Saitama naturally also saw that Saitama was being completely suppressed by Hit, unable to land a hit at all.
"It seems contestant Saitama is going to lose!" Whis gave a faint smile.
"How is Broly? Can he still get up?" Raditz wasn't interested in Saitama, more concerned about Broly.
Saitama and the others also immediately looked towards Broly's direction.
Broly was still lying there motionless, seemingly knocked out.
Mainly, the Hulk's kick was too vicious, apparently accidentally landing on Broly's crotch.
"Hey, Broly, get up quickly, don't you want to drink anymore?" Raditz once again shouted at the top of his voice.
Broly still showed no sign of movement.
"No need to shout, he's already knocked out." Whis gently shook his head, "It seems the chance for our universe to obtain the new universe destruction god qualification this time is very slim."
Merus similarly hung his head, feeling a bit disappointed.
Saitama, however, remained completely calm, saying earnestly, "Don't give up until the very last moment. If you give up, then the battle ends early."
Merus: "..."
What you say seems quite reasonable.
At this moment, Merus suddenly felt that Saitama was more like a god than he was.
These words are simply too inspiring.
The problem is, did Broly really not give up?
Isn't he already knocked out?
Can he still stand up again?
On the other side, the Hulk finally found a new opponent, precisely Zapricchio.
Zapricchio is a human similar to Batman.
The Hulk didn't bother being polite, directly knocking Zapricchio to the ground with a few punches, then grabbed his ankle and began smashing him left and right.
Zapricchio felt his mentality was breaking.
Simultaneously, Zapricchio immediately recalled the terrifying scene of Basil being smashed earlier.
"I surrender!" Zapricchio hurriedly shouted.
If he doesn't surrender, he'll probably get beaten badly by this green monster.
Better surrender early, I can't beat him anyway.
"Swish!"
Zapricchio was instantly teleported to Universe 3's spectator stand.
The Hulk, having smashed him halfway, genuinely felt unsatisfied, looking displeased.
Immediately after, the Hulk looked around for a new target, soon locking his gaze onto Rat Buck.
At this very moment, Rat Buck was engaged in battle with Universe 2's Ribrianne.
"Beautiful Cannon!"
"Love Beam!"
"Love Machine Gun!"
"Maximum Love Cannon!"
Ribrianne fired bursts of energy from her hands, hearts flying one after another towards Rat Buck.
Buck's face darkened.
I'm just a rat!
I'm not interested in human women like you.
I like female rats!
Buck let out snorts of contempt, swatting away each of these incoming heart-shaped energy blasts with a single slap.
Ribrianne widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Buck with disbelief.
My attacks were actually swatted away by him?
