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

In ancient times, it was said that "traveling to the North Sea in the morning and to Cangwu in the evening" was a skill only immortals could possess. But now, ordinary people can easily accomplish this by simply spending money and taking a plane. When Hua Yin said in the morning that "people cannot fly by relying on martial arts, but they can by taking a plane," it was the beginning of Guo Haihuang's high regard for Hua Yin. The following words were also the reason why Guo Haihuang decided to teach Hua Yin.

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Guo Haihuang told Huayin, "About a month from now, there will be an underground fighting tournament in Hong Kong. You should participate then—but you are not allowed to use force. I want you to fight using force-absorbing techniques throughout. Soft fist, power generation, and recovery are all up to you, but you must use ten techniques with zero force. Using even a fraction more will not pass! I will also be there to watch the fight. We are a gentleman and keep our promise, so don't try to cheat me."

“Hmm, this challenge sounds…” Hanon scratched her head: “It looks like it would hurt a lot.”

Although I understand the principles and techniques of dissipating force, I only have one month to practice, and I also have to go to school. I really don't know how well I can improve my dissipation skills by then. If I don't use "Indestructible Vajra," it will be very painful to be hit.

"Excuse me, may I ask what kind of competition that is, the underground fighting?"

"It's just a small-scale event, called the World Gang Fighting King Grand Prix. The participants are all top fighters from gangs around the world, a bunch of brutes who don't know any profound martial arts skills, and the winner is determined by fighting each other."

"...You really know how to find projects." Hana was embarrassed: "Although the gangsters' martial arts skills are a bit low, they are professionals at throwing punches, and each punch is heavier than the last...Did I offend you by lying on the ground and not getting up just now?"

"Hmph, am I a narrow-minded person? Do you think I'm a rogue too?" Guo Haihuang said this, but the upturned corners of his mouth seemed to reveal something.

In short, Mr. Guo returned to his room to rest happily, while Huayin also returned to her room with a heavy heart. She had grown a lot as a martial artist that night, but a huge weight had been placed on her future... Amid alternating joy and worry, Huayin did not fall asleep until dawn.

She slept until noon, when her stomach started growling, and Hana was finally woken up by the old butler, Ito: "Young Miss, are you in your room? Lunch is about to start."

Hanon perked up and jumped out of bed: "Okay! I'm coming!"

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, all the staff from the Martial Arts Department were there, and they all came to greet Hua Yin. Most masters are eccentric; the "Foreign King" and "Sea King" usually eat alone, but this newly crowned "Sea King" Ye was quite approachable, willing to eat in the communal cafeteria, and incredibly beautiful! Besides, her outstanding performance yesterday, passing three rounds in a row, was a rare moment of excitement for the Martial Arts Department in recent years. It seems Hua Yin has unknowingly accumulated quite a bit of popularity!

Hanon tried to keep a low profile and found a corner with Ito to eat quietly. However, the staff of the Martial Arts Ministry knew each other well and chatted while eating. Hanon easily heard the latest news about the Martial Arts Ministry.

"Hey, have you heard? Elder Wang from the Northern Martial Arts Province has been dismissed from his post."

"Huh? The version I heard is that all three elders of the Martial Arts Province are finished!"

"No, I saw Elder Huang this morning."

"I also saw Elder Huang and Elder Yang. They were still working, but they looked worried and had bandages on their hands."

"I'm close to the confidential secretary, and I know the truth! It was Guo Haihuang who did it!"

"Wow! Guo Haihuang! He's in Guangdong too? I didn't see him on the podium yesterday... And isn't he almost 150 years old? Why is he making a move?"

"What's impossible? He's the Sea King! I heard that the old man came here secretly to inspect the work of the Martial Arts Province. He found that the three elders were seriously corrupt, greedy for money and causing problems. Elder Wang even deliberately made things difficult for Ye Haiwang. Even though Ye Haiwang passed three tests, Elder Wang still tried to pull a stunt. The old man was furious. He went to the office this morning and gave Elder Wang a severe scolding. Then he fired Elder Wang. Not only was he fired, but he also crippled his martial arts."

"Sigh, Elder Wang rose through the ranks from the administrative field, what martial arts skills could he possibly have that are useless?"

"Hey, you're wrong. All three elders have been punished. Elder Wang was kicked out immediately. Today, I saw that Elder Huang and Elder Yang also had bandages on their hands. It's said that an iron nail pierced through their three dominant hands, damaging their nerves and preventing them from exerting much force for the rest of their lives."

"I see. Well, it's nothing. The three elders have already made their fortunes over the past few decades. Even if they get a nail through their hand, it's still worth it."

"I heard it was cut off directly..."

"What I heard was even more outrageous: Guo Haihuang used an internal martial arts move to shatter the meridians of three elders. In the future, their bodies will gradually atrophy, their limbs will be unable to bend, and they will suffer a fate worse than death..."

"Hey, those are symptoms of ALS! How much do you want the Third Elder to suffer?"

Ito frowned: "These people from the Martial Arts Ministry are really barbaric."

"If you repay evil with kindness, how will you repay kindness? Therefore, it is said that you should repay evil with justice and kindness with kindness." Hua Yin shook her head: "I think Guo Haihuang handled it quite well."

"Huh? Miss, do you know that Guo Haihuang? You sound like you know him very well..."

"Ahem." Facing her old butler, who was like a parent to her, Hana was still a little afraid and didn't dare to mention that she had been up most of the night last night. So she made up a lie to cover it up: "After I got the title of Sea King yesterday, I saw him at lunch."

Ito, unsuspecting, continued eating, as did Kanon. But as she ate, she thought, "Old Master Guo is truly a trustworthy man, and his efficiency is very high. He said last night that he would deal with the Martial Arts Ministry, and he took action this morning."

At the same time, Hana thought of another person: "There's also Li Haiwang. The person who attacked me after the Christmas bowl incident was sent by him. Guo Haihuang's idea is that if I want revenge, I should do it myself and beat up Li Haiwang..."

"Hmm? Miss, you've finished eating?" The old butler asked as Huayin stood up. "Would you like to go back to your room?"

"No, I'm just going out for a walk."

Author's Note: Four updates today, as usual.

That's right, the final part of the China arc will be a mini-test to deplete energy, and the characters that appear are a mixed bag. Come to think of it, there are quite a few thugs with underworld backgrounds in these works...

Section 413, Chapter 407: A Woman's Power! A Woman's Rock-Striking Technique!

In the entire Martial Arts Province, including Hanon and the foreigners, there are only thirteen Sea Kings. Each of them is a highly influential figure in the province, and their mere mention of their names is enough to intimidate most people. As for Sea King Li, a native of Guangdong Province, he is even more well-known. Hanon easily found him by asking around along the way.

In an indoor meditation room at the temple, Li Haiwang was actually waiting for Huayin.

"You were waiting for me?" Upon entering the dojo, Huayin's first sight was of Li Haiwang, who was sitting cross-legged in the main seat, and her second glance fell on Guo Haihuang, who was sitting cross-legged in the guest seat: "You're here too, sir!"

Guo Haihuang looked relaxed. He had just poured a cup of hot tea, picked it up and took a sip: "Ah, the tea in Guangdong is quite good. This is a top-grade Yingde black tea, comparable to Qimen black tea... Girl, don't mind me, I'm just here to bear witness."

"witness?"

"Witness our battle," Li Haiwang said solemnly, staring at Huayin.

After yesterday's twists and turns, Huayin has become the "Sea King" of Guangdong Province. Whether she cares about it or not, she has objectively brought glory to the martial arts community of Guangdong. In addition, at noon, Sea King Li hosted a meal for the other Sea Kings, and their feelings towards each other improved, no longer as tense as when they first met.

However, last night, Guo Haihuang told Huayin that Li Haiwang had sent assassins to attack her, and that Huayin had defeated Fan Haiwang...

“Although we are half-brothers and not very close since childhood, Fan Haiwang is still my elder brother… He left here early this morning and his whereabouts are unknown. Perhaps he went to cultivate in asceticism.” Li Haiwang stood up: “Guo Haihuang has already told me that you defeated my brother last night, completely destroying his confidence. No, perhaps even earlier, he had already collapsed when you fought Lie Haiwang… And Guo Haihuang should also have told you that one of the assassins who attacked you was sent by me.”

Li Haiwang slowly walked to the opposite side of Huayin and assumed a fighting stance: "So there's no need for further words, let's fight."

Now that things have come to this point, it's clearly time for Li Haiwang and Huayin to settle their score! Huayin shrugged: "Hmm, I have no objection."

Both sides got into position, but before they made a move, Li Haiwang raised one hand—an enormous fist, as big as a casserole dish, completely out of proportion to his body.

"My hands look strange, don't they? This... is poison. Although I'm unhappy that you defeated my brother, and even more unhappy that a woman like you could hold the position of Sea King, now that we've entered the Martial Arts Department, we have a bond of kinship, and I won't kill you." Li Haiwang said, "My martial art is called 'Poison Hand,' and its history can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty two thousand years ago. It even spread to Japan during the Ming Dynasty, so it has a long history and has always been a top-tier martial art for sneak attacks and assassinations. 'Poison Hand' has seven volumes of Yin Hand and five volumes of Yang Hand, totaling twelve volumes. It records in detail how to concoct poison, apply poison, use poison, and detoxify poison, as well as how to combine poison with martial arts techniques for practical application."

"Ye Huayin!" Li Haiwang's voice rose: "Although your fist and foot skills are indeed extremely strong, even a nimble moth cannot escape the spider's venomous web. I will defeat you here to prove this and avenge my brother!" Finally, he looked at Guo Haiwang: "Guo Haiwang is here not only to witness our battle, but also to supervise whether I use poisonous techniques to harm my fellow disciples, and to be ready to help you at any time—he has the antidote for the poisonous hand that I have prepared, so you will not be in any danger."

"I don't care." Hanon was still the same as always. Facing an aggressive opponent, Hanon's trash talk was always very tough: "Whether you use poison or not is up to you, whether you get poisoned or not is up to me. Even if you have poisonous hands, you can't just touch me whenever you want."

"Then take this!" Li Haiwang roared and threw a punch.

Huayin reached out and grabbed Li Haiwang's left wrist with her right hand and his right wrist with her left hand, all through his clothes.

Li Haiwang was not particularly burly, nor was he a power-based martial artist. However, when Huayin gripped him with tremendous force, his hands were suspended in mid-air, unable to move forward even an inch.

"Damn it, what strength! Are you really a woman?" With another roar, Li Haiwang raised another foot, preparing to use a whip kick to break free, but it was still in vain. Halfway through the whip kick, his thigh was blocked by Huayin's knee, and he still couldn't make a move.

Li Haiwang was so frustrated he was completely red-faced and unable to move, while Huayin looked relaxed: "You said I was a woman and unworthy of being a 'sea king,' but now you're being dominated by a woman~"

Then, Huayin restrained Li Haiwang's hands and one leg, her muscles suddenly contracting and then springing up like a spring, bursting out with tremendous force, sending Li Haiwang flying and crashing six or seven meters away.

"This is the release of power!" Hua Yin shouted softly, leaping up and straddling Li Haiwang. She used her knee to press against Li Haiwang's kidney, preventing him from getting up. At the same time, she raised her right hand high and shouted, "This is the rock-striking technique!"

The "Demon Spear" thrust out, displaying a penetrating power capable of severing gold and jade, and Hana's entire right hand sank into the straw mat ground right next to Li Haiwang's head.

After just one move, the outcome was decided.

"You should be thankful." Hua Yin stared at Li Haiwang and said seriously, "I also dislike you, but you warned me of the danger of the poisonous hand beforehand, which means that this battle was not a life-or-death struggle. That's why this blow didn't pierce your throat."

Hanon stood up: "It's not that I'm not worthy of being called the Sea King, but that the title of Sea King is not important to me. A title doesn't define a person, and gender doesn't determine a person either. I hope you remember that."

It was despicable that Li Haiwang sent someone to assassinate her, but Huayin wasn't a ruthless killer who lived on the edge. She couldn't actually kill Li Haiwang, and even maiming him would be too much of a moral challenge. Perhaps the psychological blow was just as heavy as physically destroying someone. Li Haiwang looked down on Huayin for being a woman and a "sea king," so Huayin would defeat him completely as a woman. For Huayin, this would be a kind of revenge and a lesson.

"Phew, that line...pretty cool, right?" Feeling satisfied with herself for saying something cool, Hana turned around to leave, but then Li Haiwang's voice came from behind her: "Wait a minute!"

Hana was startled and turned around: "What?"

Li Haiwang shakily got up—Huayin's thrusting hand hadn't landed properly, but the previous "force" had already injured Li Haiwang's joints, and at least severe pain was inevitable.

"I was completely defeated by that last move. I admit what you said. Although you are a woman, you are fully qualified to be the Sea King. Your strength is far above my brother's."

Hana raised an eyebrow: "But?"

Li Haiwang stretched his body, and the excruciating pain in his joints was lessening; he could still fight!

"But Poison Hand did not lose!"

Author's Note: The boss of the Poseidon arc is actually the weak Lee Poseidon? Sigh, believe it or not, it really is him... The fourth chapter is 21 points. To be honest, I expanded on this battle a bit, and Lee Poseidon's purity has also been greatly improved.

The next chapter isn't finished yet; it won't be complete until tomorrow, so I understand if you all want to save it for tomorrow to read together.

Section 414, Chapter 408: He'd already taken his pants off!

"Poisonous Hand has already lost!" Hua Yin frowned. Li Haiwang clearly wanted to continue fighting. If this entanglement continued, when would it end?

She looked at Guo Haihuang: "What do you say, sir?"

"Oh, hehe." Guo Haihuang had just taken a sip of tea and was not in a hurry to respond to Huayin. After letting the fragrant tea linger in his mouth for a while, he swallowed it and said slowly, "Girl, don't be impatient. His ruthlessness is indeed not enough to cause a complete defeat."

"This..." Hana's eyebrows furrowed even more: "Another match?"

"Let's have another fight. You'll see the true face of Li Haiwang's ruthless methods."

"So what if there's poison on your hands? What's the big deal about your true face..." Hua Yin swallowed her words halfway through, because she saw that Li Haiwang across from her had started to take off his clothes.

This was the first time Hanon had ever seen someone act so solemnly and respectfully while taking off their clothes. Li Haiwang did it as if he were performing a ritual, taking off his shirt, neatly folding it and placing it aside, and then starting to take off his pants...

"Hey, hey, he's already taking his pants off!" Hua Yin shouted to Guo Haiwang.

Guo Haiwang waved his hand: "Hey, isn't he still wearing shorts?"

Okay, Li Haiwang was indeed still wearing a pair of athletic shorts, so it doesn't count as indecent assault. However, he took off his shirt, then his pants, then his shoes and socks, until all he was left with was a pair of shorts...

So this is the "true face"?

Logically speaking, Li Haiwang's appearance is not much different from that of a boxer or Muay Thai fighter. Muscles are a man's armor, and it's fine to show off a good physique. However, for a master of Chinese martial arts to suddenly dress like this, Huayin can only suspect that he has something wrong with his head.

But to be honest, Li Haiwang's aura has changed... cough cough, not that he's becoming a monster, but rather that his threat level as a martial artist has increased!

While Huayin was still complaining, she gradually became serious. The aura of Li Haiwang in front of her made Huayin's martial arts instincts send out a signal that "this person is very dangerous." This was the third time she had encountered Lie Haiwang and Guo Haihuang since returning to the country!

After taking off his clothes, Li Haiwang rubbed his hands together and then suddenly threw them into the air.

Under the sunlight, several points of starlight appeared; these were the poison powder from "Poison Hand," peeling off Li Haiwang's hands, floating in the air, and then adhering to his body. It seemed that Li Haiwang's skin had some kind of substance that could attract the poison powder.

Standing solemnly amidst a cloud of poisonous powder, Li Haiwang was as dignified as a god.
