A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

Hanon thought for a moment. Her own style? Ye Family Fist? No, just half a month ago, Hanon didn't even know that there were people in the martial arts world among her ancestors. Uncle Kuroki? But Kuroki had already said that she wasn't a formal disciple anymore, and he really hadn't taught her the Strange Arm Style. Judo? The judo she learned from Grandma Mifune was only superficial. As for the remaining styles like Fox Shadow Style and Two Tiger Style, she had only imitated some moves based on her physical talent, and it couldn't be considered that she had inherited the style at all. Should she say that she came from Mr. Shirogane's gym where he trained muscles?

Finally, she said, "I'd say it's... my own style."

"Alright then." The host was quite knowledgeable; there were many masters who created their own martial arts, and Hua Yin's answer was not an exception. He loudly announced, "Let's witness the power of Ye Yangwang's self-created martial arts!"

Hanon took a deep breath and prepared to strike the rock.

On the platform, Fan Haiwang maintained a smile. He turned to Sun Haiwang beside him and asked, "I remember you became the Sea King by breaking rocks, right?"

“Aren’t you the same?” Sun Haiwang was Fan Haiwang’s recommender. Although the two had fought, they got along well afterward. “And Lie Haiwang, as far as I know, also became a sea king by breaking rocks.”

“Hmm, I’m not surprised by that,” Van Haiwang said. “Fighting rocks is the most demanding test of physical strength, and just by looking at his appearance, one can tell that Lie Haiwang is a brave and fierce man who sings songs of heroism and tragedy.”

Looking up at the morning sun, Fan Haiwang shrugged easily: "Rock drilling is a very time-consuming project. Looks like we should think about what to have for lunch."

Those Aquamen who have experienced rock-breaking know that breaking rock isn't too difficult; you just need to attack the core. However, to gradually break down the rock from the outside and shape it into the desired form often takes several days. Even experts in this field need to spend most of the day to complete it. Some Aquamen have practiced rock-breaking early on in preparation for the Aquaman trials, but due to insufficient skill, it often takes them several months to complete a single piece.

But Hana was different. Before Fan Haiwang had even finished speaking, she had already started taking action.

Instead of using the hand-blade slash that most people are used to at the start, Hanon used the stance of a karate punch to swing her arm out, her wrist and fingers like a spear, diagonally stabbing into the rocks.

"Well, the hardness is alright, not so hard that it's unbreakable." The beginning is always the hardest. Hanon could feel the vibration in her fingers, but fortunately it wasn't steel and its shape was irregular, so there were always places where the force was weaker for Hanon to work on.

Kanon, after all, is a student of "Magic Gun".

By flexing the arm muscles to an "indestructible" degree, although it is far less skillful than the original Kuroki Gensai's version when fighting people, the replica's power is no less than the real "Demon Spear" when used against stationary targets like rocks.

Huayin began circling the rock, her "magic spear" constantly thrusting into the weakest points on the rock. Stone chips flew everywhere, and dust rose, almost completely obscuring Huayin's figure.

"Wow, this is amazing!" The host exclaimed in genuine amazement, which was also the sentiment of all the onlookers.

Elder Yang on the platform breathed a sigh of relief, at least the chances of passing the first test were high. The other two elders, however, were ashen-faced, never expecting that Hua Yin was a master of hard skills.

"Brother," Li Haiwang asked in confusion, "didn't you say that Ye Huayin's fighting style was very agile the other day?"

Fan Haiwang was also shocked: "I didn't expect this either... But it's good that way. Ye Huayin has to be strong enough to force Lie Haiwang to take the field."

As for Kanon in the middle of the field, she was completely focused on hitting the rocks... just kidding!

"Cough cough cough, what a blunder, what a blunder, it actually produced so much dust." Hanon was choked so badly that tears came to her eyes, so she had no choice but to stop and retreat from the dust cloud. However, the "Demon Gun" had already completed its mission and it was time to switch to other techniques.

After the dust settled, the original rock had been transformed into a "hedgehog." Overall, it was no longer a rock full of holes, but a rock with countless spears and swords stuck in its core.

"Heh, really impressive!" The strongest being representing the highest level of the Sea Kings, Retsu Sea King, who had been sitting silently in the corner, couldn't help but praise Kanon: "And... very smart."

It's really clever. Hanon's method is to first destroy the overall structure of the rock, and then she can clean the rock by continuously slicing it horizontally, just like sticking toothpicks all over a bar of soap and then wiping them off with her palm—provided that your palm is strong enough to make the rock as soft and brittle as soap.

Kanon also possesses such skills—she has a "magic spear" for vertical thrusts and a "razor" for horizontal slashes!

Even when polishing Kanon, she has her own methods—how do you make beads? You use a rapidly spinning object to grind them! And Kanon knows how to use the Rakshasa Palm!

The most difficult part was over, and the rock-breaking was no longer in doubt. For about ten minutes, the audience watched as Hanon danced around the rock, spinning rapidly. She used some kind of technique, but every time she touched the rock, large pieces of rock were peeled off, and the rock in the very center was becoming more and more rounded and smooth.

"So beautiful..." Watching Hanon twirl around like a fairy, the host was perhaps a little hypnotized, unable to help but be captivated. Well, after all, Hanon is a very pretty girl. When Hanon finished hitting the rock and saw that the host hadn't reacted yet, she walked over and patted him: "Hey, host, I'm done."

"Ah!" The host was startled, but quickly realized what was happening and announced to everyone present: "Ye Yang and Wang Yan's match is over. Please judge!"

Author's Note: Kanon is just a tool person for making beads, lalala~

Section 394, Chapter 388: Is Hanane a perfect blend of strength and gentleness?

Kanon has the "Demon Spear," the "Razor," and the Rakshasa Palm. This setup makes her a top-tier bead-making, no, rock-breaking tool. Although it was a quick creation and inevitably has some rough edges, the rocks Kanon breaks are still large and round, like wide noodles.

In fact, the martial arts provincial leaders on the podium didn't even need to say anything; the applause and cheers from the audience had already given Hanon a pass.

"Ye Haiwang! Ye Haiwang! Ye Haiwang!" Such voices began to appear sporadically. If it were according to the old rules, Huayin would already be a Haiwang of the highest level in the Chinese martial arts world. However, today's situation was special, and she had actually only completed the first test.

However, the voice of the masses can still reach those in high positions, especially when those in high positions are not of one mind. Elder Yang smiled broadly and bowed to his two colleagues, saying, "Ye Huayin's rock-breaking work is undoubtedly qualified. If you two have objections to such a work, then you are truly being unfair and biased."

"Ahem, how could we possibly have any objections?" Elder Wang waved his hand awkwardly. "To complete such a perfect rock-cutting work in such a short time, Ye Yangwang truly deserves to pass!"

The evaluation results were immediately relayed to the host, who promptly announced that Hanayone had passed. There were no problems whatsoever, and it didn't even take a minute, demonstrating extremely high efficiency.

Watching Hanon flash a V-sign to Butler Ito in celebration, smiling sweetly, Elder Wang gritted his teeth inwardly: "Hmph, brat, let's see how long you can be so smug! I have plenty of ways to stop you later. At least in the next round, at your age, how much internal martial arts skill do you have? Let's see what you can do!"

Next came the test of strength. The staff led Hanon to the side to rest, while other workers went back and forth to set up the venue. Meanwhile, the Sea Kings on the platform were discussing the rock-throwing exercise they had just witnessed.

"Wow, that's amazing..." Li Haiwang was stunned by Huayin's performance. He turned to his older brother and asked, "Could you do something like that?"

Before Fan Haiwang could speak, Sun Haiwang replied first: "I was Fan Haiwang's recommender back then, and I witnessed his rock-cutting, which was similar to this one."

"But it took me a whole day..." Fan Haiwang was somewhat lost in thought. Although he had some idea of ​​Hua Yin's strength, the arrogance of the people from the Martial Arts Province was deeply ingrained. Fan Haiwang didn't really think that Hua Yin was that strong. Watching the staff struggle to move the rock carving, Fan Haiwang said quietly, "Miss Ye only took less than half an hour."

However, Van Hoi-wang's target was Retsu-kai-wang after all, so he turned his gaze to Retsu: "So-called number one, how is your rock-breaking ability?"

The three men discussed for a while when suddenly someone interrupted. It was Mao Haiwang from Hebei: "Lie De Da Yan... I once heard a monk from Bailin Temple mention it. It's a piece of obsidian that's as smooth as a mirror..."

"What?!" Fan, Li, and Sun, the three sea kings, were all shocked, their faces mirrored... This sounded too fantastical!

It seems that Lie Haiwang's hard skills are indeed top-notch... Fan Haiwang remained silent for a long time before finally rousing himself and asking Mao Haiwang, "I remember that Mao Haiwang, you chose the power exertion trial back then?"

Mao Haiwang's broad and muscular body was covered with a layer of fat, making him the only "soft"-looking Haiwang among those present today.

Mao Haiwang nodded and said, "That's right. Rock striking tests external martial arts, while power exertion tests internal martial arts. Ye Yangwang strikes the rock first and then exerts power. To pass, one must cultivate both internal and external skills. The evaluation criteria given by the three elders are really strict! If it were me, I would be okay with power exertion, but I would not be able to strike the rock."

Seeing Mao Haiwang's humble tone, Sun Haiwang also laughed and said, "I am fine at hitting rocks, but I am bad at exerting force."

As usual, Fan Haiwang mentioned Lie Haiwang: "That's right, cultivating both inner and outer strength is extremely difficult, I'm afraid even that Lie Haiwang..."

"Eh? You didn't know?" Mao Haiwang waved his hands repeatedly: "Lie Haiwang is amazing. I heard from the monks of Bailin Temple that Lie had already completed the test of exerting force several years before becoming a Haiwang!"

Seeing that Fan, Li, and Sun, the three Sea Kings, were shocked again and looked incredulous, Mao the Sea King explained: "In ancient times, the Martial Arts Department only had rock-striking trials. This power exertion test was a unique test method of Liu the Sea King, the Fist God of Bailin Temple. Whenever a foreign king wanted to seek the recommendation of the Fist God's Sea King, Liu the Sea King would have them test their power exertion. It was indeed effective and could weed out countless people who were just trying to take advantage of the situation. Later, the Martial Arts Department simply turned it into an official Sea King test... Hehe, in the decades that followed, very few people were able to pass this test. The next Sea King who is still alive is yet to come."

"Tch, few Sea Kings choose the Power Generation Trial. Besides its high difficulty, it's also because the water ripples reveal the power trajectory of internal martial arts, making it easy for others to spot weaknesses. That's why so few people choose it," Fan Haiwang thought to himself, showing considerable disdain for Mao Haiwang. In his eyes, only Lie Haiwang truly mattered in the martial arts world; the rest were mediocre and not worth mentioning.

Mao Haiwang continued, "Lie Haiwang is Liu Haiwang's disciple. He has been learning martial arts from him since childhood, so he naturally came into contact with this set of trials early on. Lie Haiwang is skilled in both internal and external martial arts, and is truly a once-in-thirty-years genius in the martial arts world. I just don't know how this young girl, Ye Yangwang, will perform."

Yes, what kind of performance will Hanon give? Not only are the Sea Kings curious, but the three martial arts provincial elders are also very interested. The audience at the scene has been discussing it non-stop. They watched as dozens of staff members laboriously carried over a copper water tank that was more than ten meters long, filled it with clean water, and then had ten staff members stand on each side. The host then signaled for Hanon to come over for the trial.

The host explained to Huayin, "Ye Yangwang, this is the test of force exertion. Each staff member is one meter apart. There is a bronze mirror on each side of the water tank. You have to exert force from one bronze mirror to the other side. You get one point for each person the water waves you create pass. You pass if you get eight points or more."

"Wow, eight points!" Hana clicked her tongue in amazement. Even standing so close to the sink, it felt incredibly far away on the other side...

The host nodded: "It's eight points. When this test was first introduced to the Martial Arts Department, the requirement was that the test taker had to hit the bronze mirror from one end to the other. As a result, no one succeeded for more than ten years. So the Martial Arts Department relaxed the requirement to eight points, and finally a few foreign masters were able to break through this barrier."

After hearing the explanation, Hanon didn't laugh at the people from the Martial Arts Province. She genuinely felt that this trial was very difficult, especially since... although Hanon could deliver "inch punch" attacks, she had never learned any internal martial arts! To put it bluntly, Hanon didn't know how to generate power!

Author's Note: I can't finish writing the remaining part of the second trial in one chapter, so I'll have to leave it for tomorrow. Sorry everyone, good morning tomorrow!

But here's some... well, tragic good news? Because of the pandemic, the company I work for has stopped operating, so I'll be quite free from work for now.

But this increases the pressure of life quite a bit! So it's better to earn more royalties, right? /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ Tomorrow there will be at least three updates, maybe even four. I'll try to maintain this pace for a while, and I hope everyone will support me. This book has over 800,000 words and almost 400 chapters. I, the author, rarely ask for rewards or votes, so... well, if you're interested, please support me. If you don't mind, just subscribe more. I'll try my best to write more.

Section 395, Chapter 389: Hana-On the Front-Loading Washing Machine

Is generating power difficult? It's not that difficult. Kanon was able to imitate a similar attack method during the elimination rounds, and the effect was outstanding. However, true power generation is not something that can be mastered overnight. It does involve more complex and profound methods of generating power. Kanon's method is basically just "super seriously mobilizing the power of the explosive core and striking at close range with extreme speed and force." The destructive power is entirely due to Kanon's physical talent.

In contrast, Metsudo's "Dragon Bullet" is the true manifestation of power. This fighting genius spent years painstakingly training to master its principles, and once he could use it freely, it became his signature move. In other words, even someone as strong as Metsudo uses power generation as a trump card; the technique of power generation is indeed very profound!

In Chinese martial arts, generating power falls under the category of internal martial arts. In more abstract terms, it's called internal strength; in more scientific terms, it's about rationally adjusting the rhythm and angle of force generation to release as much power as possible over the smallest possible distance and transmit it as far as possible. For Hanon, immense power isn't difficult; the challenge lies in how to transmit that power far.

Facing the water tank that was more than ten meters long, Huayin scratched her head a little.

The audience noticed this hesitation, and Elder Wang on the platform began to smile: "Hehe, I knew it."

Elder Huang also chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "Hmm, it seems Ye Yangwang is too young, and her cultivation is still insufficient! Her hard skills are indeed remarkable, but generating power is the essence of internal martial arts, which cannot be achieved overnight."

"You!" Elder Yang from the Southern Martial Arts Province had been severely suppressed, but Hua Yin didn't seem very promising, so he spoke without much confidence: "Logically speaking, Miss Ye has already passed the rock-breaking trial and should be eligible to be named Sea King..."

"Hey, we already agreed that this evaluation is very strict. You have to pass all three stages to be considered. We're only at the second stage now..."

Just as the three elders were about to continue arguing, they saw Huayin say something to the host, who then told the staff, and the information was reported up the chain of command. Finally, someone came over and said, "Elders, Ye Yangwang said that she is new here and has some questions about the power exertion test."

"Oh?" Elder Huang raised an eyebrow: "Speak freely."

"Yes." The staff then relayed Hana's questions: "Ye Yangwang asked two questions. First, there is a limit to the time that the force can be applied to the contact with the water tank. Second, is damaging the water tank within the permitted scope?"

These two problems are quite strange. Everyone's force strikes the bronze mirror instantly. Over time, the force will dissipate. Breaking the bronze mirror will prevent the force from being transmitted, directly causing the force to fail.

"No!" Elder Wang of the North gave a direct negative answer. Although he didn't know what Hua Yin was going to do, he knew that something was amiss, and he instinctively wanted to refuse.

Conversely, Elder Yang from the south strongly supported Hua Yin: "Why not? There's no written rule, so it's up to Miss Ye to decide what to do!"

"This..." Elder Huang's opinion from headquarters was crucial, and he sided with Elder Wang: "Since there's no rule, then it's best not to..."

"It's possible." Suddenly someone interrupted Elder Huang. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was actually King Liehai.

Upon seeing that Lie Haiwang said it was okay, Elder Huang immediately changed his mind: "Ah, since Lie Haiwang said it was okay, then it must be okay. We grant Ye Yangwang's request. How long she can be in contact with the water tank and whether she damages it are all up to her."

As the undisputed leader among the many martial arts masters in the province today, Lie Haiwang holds an extremely important position in the Chinese martial arts world!

However, this hero did not use his status to deceive others. Instead, he explained his reasons: "The Power Generation Trial was originally an invention of my master, Liu Haiwang. Its original purpose was to assess the results of a martial artist's training, not to restrict the training process. Chinese martial arts have a long history and are profound. Various techniques lead to the same goal. If Ye Yangwang has his own way of completing the Power Generation Trial, we should gladly accept it."

"Hahaha, well said! Old Huang, Old Wang, do you have any objections?" Elder Yang was overjoyed. It seemed that although Lie Haiwang was the pride of the Northern Martial Arts Province, he was not one of Elder Wang's direct subordinates.

Elder Wang was also helpless about this, but Lie Haiwang's speech was too important, so he could only admit: "Then let's agree and see what's so special about Ye Yangwang."

The decision from the higher-ups was quickly relayed down to the lower levels. The host, holding the microphone, relayed the Martial Arts Department's opinion to Hanon and the audience. Hanon felt much more relaxed, while the audience became very curious: "What exactly does Ye Yangwang want to achieve by making these two requests?"

"What a strange request." The power master, Mao Haiwang, curled his lip. "Prolonged contact with the water tank is one thing; I'd assume she just needs more time to find a point of leverage. But destroy the tank? Please, does she think she's Liu Haiwang or Lie Haiwang, capable of generating water waves to break the tank? Hahaha, I bet she'll smash the bronze mirror with one punch, and then the trial will be over... *poof*!"

Before he could finish speaking, Mao Haiwang was shocked, because Huayin really shattered the bronze mirror with a single punch...

A surprised Mao Haiwang bit his tongue: "Ugh! Ugh... Has Ye Yangwen gone mad?!"

After breaking the bronze mirror, Hanon did not withdraw her hand, and there was no ripple in the water tank. She simply used a normal punch to penetrate the bronze mirror and put her arm into the water.

The audience quickly went from shock to skepticism and contempt: "Tch, not a ripple, it was just a bluff."
