The Golden Bell Cover was created by Bodhidharma, a martial arts master of the first generation. It's a supreme divine skill that cultivates both internal and external aspects, consisting of twelve levels, each more difficult than the last. If one can master all twelve levels, they become invulnerable, impervious to water, fire, and poisonous miasma. They can also stay awake without rest, with a limitless supply of Ki/Energy, and even deflect enemy attacks with their internal force.
This martial art is extremely difficult to master. Less than ten people have reached the tenth level, only Monk Ciyun has reached the eleventh level, and only Bodhidharma, who created this divine skill, has reached the twelfth level.
Crocodile Taishui can be taken as a disciple by the Fire Cloud Evil God, his martial arts talent is outstanding. At his age, he had only reached the seventh level of the Golden Bell Cover, which could only be considered entering the door, far from achieving mastery.
His external cultivation of the Golden Bell Cover had already reached its peak, and he began cultivating internally and externally, with a profound internal Ki/Energy. Even a slender reed could become a weapon in his hands.
Recently, during the process of eliminating the Ten Rings Gang, Broly's Kamehameha School Martial Arts had broken through once again.
[Kamehameha School Martial Arts lv10: Sense Ki/Energy. You can understand the target's location and strength by sensing their Ki/Energy. True masters can even sense Ki/Energy from several galaxies away, or even from the Yellow Springs.]
Sensing Ki/Energy seems simple, but Goku only mastered this technique after training with the Heavenly God. Even when Raditz attacked Earth, Krillin and the others hadn't yet mastered the technique of judging the enemy's location and strength through Ki/Energy.
(See Dragon Ball Chapter 196)
Broly could sense that Crocodile Taishui's Ki/Energy wasn't very strong, similar to Goro Daimon, but his Ki/Energy gave off a feeling of being as heavy as a mountain and as tough as steel, with a much higher quality.
Facing the charging Crocodile Taishui, Broly unleashed his Ki/Energy in an instant, then threw the Bat Shuriken in his hand. The shuriken instantly broke the sound barrier, and the Ki/Energy blasts and shockwaves left visible trails in the air.
Crocodile Taishui simply crossed his arms in front of him.
"Dang!"
The sound of a bell, like the morning bell and the evening drum, a floating Golden Bell Ki/Energy covered Crocodile Taishui's body. The shuriken hit the Ki/Energy, and was instantly shattered by the force of the rebound.
The powerful force of the shuriken caused Crocodile Taishui's momentum to falter, and Broly immediately attacked, covering a distance of over twenty meters in a single leap. A knee strike slammed into Crocodile Taishui's chest.
The rebound force of the Golden Bell Cover caused Broly's movements to momentarily halt, but he instantly overcame it and slammed a fist into Crocodile Taishui's face.
This punch was full of force, directly knocking Crocodile Taishui to the ground, sinking him deep into the ground.
Broly released his fist, and the rebounding force numbed his right hand. The Ki/Energy on his fist hadn't entered Crocodile Taishui's body, but was blocked by his Golden Bell Ki/Energy.
"You're asking for death!"
The enraged Crocodile Taishui jumped up from the ground, creating distance from Broly. Even though the Golden Bell Ki/Energy had blocked most of the force, he was still hit hard by Broly. Although it was just some physical pain, and he was only hurt, not injured, it still made him a little overwhelmed.
He hadn't been this embarrassed since he mastered the seventh level of the Golden Bell Cover.
"Interesting, so interesting!"
Broly shouted excitedly. With Crocodile Taishui's energy, he should have been broken bones and unable to resist. But seeing him lively and energetic, his combat power was obviously not damaged at all.
Perhaps he could let Kakarot practice the Golden Bell Cover, so he wouldn't have to hold back during sparring.
"Die!"
Crocodile Taishui unleashed a fist of Ki/Energy, which blasted towards Broly from a distance. He had put almost all of his energy into the Golden Bell Cover divine skill, and his other martial arts were just ordinary. He only learned the Subduing Demon Iron Wire Fist. Usually, he could defeat enemies with a few punches using the defensive power of the Golden Bell Cover, but it was not enough to deal with Broly.
Broly directly grabbed the fist Ki/Energy in his hand, squeezed it, and the fist Ki/Energy directly exploded, but his hand was unharmed.
Crocodile Taishui's eyes bulged. This was the first time he had seen someone use this method to catch his fist Ki/Energy. The speed of the fist Ki/Energy was extremely fast, and it was already difficult to catch it, let alone someone who would use the fist Ki/Energy to play with.
His heart skipped a beat as he realized he seemed unable to defeat the strange armored man in front of him.
In the next moment, Broly had already arrived in front of him.
"Dang!"
With a loud sound like a great bell, Crocodile Taishui only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his rigid Ki/Energy was almost directly shattered. His body was pushed away by the force of the punch, hitting the body of an infantry fighting vehicle.
"Boom!"
Amidst a teeth-grinding sound of metal crushing, the relatively weak armor on the side of the infantry fighting vehicle was twisted and deformed by the impact. The heavy body of the vehicle moved sideways for three meters before stopping.
"What's going on, where am I?"
Crocodile Taishui's body was stuck on the body of the infantry fighting vehicle. He was almost stunned, and it was the first time he was almost broken through his skill. Even martial arts masters, if they wanted to break the Golden Bell Cover's protective Ki/Energy, they would target acupuncture points and weak points, but there was no such direct and hard hitting.
He activated the internal force of the seventh level of the Golden Bell Cover to heal his injuries.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth. Although the Ki/Energy was blocked, that punch had injured his internal organs with its force alone.
"Remarkable, truly remarkable. You're still not dead, and you're only slightly injured."
Broly grabbed Crocodile Taishui's head and pulled him out of the infantry fighting vehicle. He was somewhat moved by Crocodile Taishui's Golden Bell Cover.
Learning to be hit before hitting others, if he had the Golden Bell Cover divine skill, then twelve years later, even if he was weaker than Frieza, he would still have the possibility of a fight, and wouldn't be instantly killed.
The legendary Super Saiyan's strength has almost no upper limit, and can continue to increase due to anger and battle. As long as Frieza cannot subdue, severely injure, or kill Broly, he will eventually be defeated.
"Can you teach me this skill of putting a bell on your body? I can let you go."
Broly said.
"I'll teach your old ass!"
Crocodile Taishui punched Broly in the head, which was blocked by Broly.
"No way, then I'll use you to practice my moves."
Crocodile Taishui had such a powerful defense, he was the most durable punching bag.
Broly's left hand suddenly burst with electric arc-like Ki/Energy, grabbing onto Crocodile Taishui's shoulder. The powerful Ki/Energy even penetrated the Golden Bell Ki/Energy, sealing off part of Crocodile Taishui's internal force.
Wolf Fang Fist!
He used the Wolf Fang Fist with his right hand, and the punches and palms, like a torrential downpour, slammed onto Crocodile Taishui's body, knocking him into the air.
Crocodile Taishui was shocked. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where his Golden Bell Ki/Energy was restrained. He desperately used the remaining internal force to resist. The overwhelming punches and palms clashed fiercely with the Golden Bell Ki/Energy, and the sound of the bell was endless.
Suddenly, a Golden Bell-like Ki/Energy dissipated, and he was broken through.
