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

"Phew, bringing these girls was absolutely the right decision. Thanks to them, the atmosphere is really heated up." Kudoro Izumi pushed up his glasses: "But it's not that simple~ I've already made all the arrangements!"

That's right, this event isn't just about watching girls box—if you want to see female boxers, just go to Weibo (scratch that)—it's a prank project.

All the male contestants were extras, while the female contestants were all real passersby. The only exception was an elderly woman who looked to be in her seventies or eighties. She was actually an active female boxer who used makeup to make herself look old, similar to the "Uncle Drew" series that was played in the American basketball world. The selling point was the super contrast that made it seem unreal.

"Hehehe, a woman who exercises + sweating it out + a prank show = a perfect plan! I'm so clever~"

The thrill of playing pranks + career success + the lure of money = a distorted face; the director's expression appeared somewhat ferocious.

After finishing her punch, Ayaka returned and shook her hands: "Whew, this punching machine is really hard. You guys will have to use some force later. Who's next? Rimi-sensei? Hibiki? Or Kanon?"

...Run, Mr. Entry!

Author's Note: Four updates today, as usual. The next chapter will conclude the daily routine, and the chapter after that will delve into the underworld thug competition plot.

Section 424, Chapter 418: The Muscular Girl, Unmeasurable

The staff member cleared his throat: "Now, please welcome the next contestant, Ms. Hibiki Sakura, number 144."

"What should I do? I'm a little nervous..." Hibiki's body stiffened.

Ayaka retorted, "You weren't shy when you participated in TV events before, were you?"

"Well, we were all standing together then, and I'm not used to being the center of attention by everyone alone..."

"I see, I felt that way too." Hanon clapped her hands and shared her experience: "It's okay, just tense your muscles with all your might and then relax them, and repeat a few times and you'll get into the right state."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Hibiki agreed and did it a few times. Just as Kanon had said, "Wow! I feel so confident! Kanon, you're so experienced!"

Kanon waved her hand: "You're welcome." Gina and Ayaka urged her on: "Hibiki! Let them see!" "Although I'm very unwilling, in terms of power, you are the strongest, Hibiki!"

"Thank you, everyone." Hibiki took a deep breath and threw a powerful punch in front of the boxing machine: "I'll show you everything I can do!"

"Boom—" The punching machine let out a magnificent wail and shattered.

A strong gust of wind blew, ruffling the hair of the fitness girls, and everyone squinted, stunned.

"Miss Sakura Hibiki's score is undetermined! But, this already counts as winning, right?!" The host announced the result loudly, while the director seemed to be in a daze.

He had previously tested the machine with a professional female boxer, whose full-force attack scored about 140 points. Now, before the "old lady" could even make a move, the machine was broken by a lively young girl. Whatever happens next, it can't be any more shocking... In other words, the prank plan was a complete failure.

"Hahaha, Hibiki's punching power is always so terrifying." The girls exclaimed in unison, even Kanon, who was used to big scenes, was no exception: "Hibiki, are you sure your surname isn't Wakatsuki? Or are you sure you weren't conscripted by Akemi's sister to be the Queen's Sakura Fang..."

"Wow, that's amazing, especially since she's a beautiful girl." Just then, someone leaned over, and everyone turned to look. Hana exclaimed, "Eh, aren't you...?"

"Wow! It's Naoya Okubo, the king of mixed martial arts!" Gina and Ayaka, two fighting enthusiasts, had already shouted out.

That's Okubo!

As a superstar in the world of mixed martial arts, this guy's popularity is no joke. The moment he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention. Not only Gina and Ayaka, but everyone at the event, regardless of gender, came to ask him for autographs and photos! After a while of chaos, Okubo finally had a moment to himself after satisfying all the fans and was able to say a few words to Kanon.

"What are you doing here?" Hanon asked. At this moment, she was talking to Okubo alone. To outsiders, it looked like a fanatical female fan talking to her idol. Since the fan was good-looking and had a great figure, the idol was willing to talk to her for a while longer.

"Well, Muji TV has always sponsored mixed martial arts competitions. President Atami is also my employer for the Kengan Tournament, so I often come here. The show 'Izumi-nii-san' was inspired by delinquents fighting each other. I am the consultant for the production team. Just now, that little girl punched and broke the machine. When they were replacing the machine, they pushed me out to distract everyone."

"Wait a minute, why do we need you as an advisor for the inspiration to fight among delinquents?" Kanon found the blind spot: "Are you that free...?"

"Ha, Hanane, you don't know this, but when I was in school, I was the leader of all the delinquents in Osaka! If you want to know about delinquents, just ask me." Okubo said proudly, "As for why I agreed to come help here, well, well, one of my greatest hobbies is watching people fight..."

"...So you really are a broken person too." Every time she goes out with her gym buddies, Hanon can't help but facepalm. Is this because of her drifting past?

Okubo laughed for a while, then asked about Kanon, "I haven't seen you much since the elimination rounds. It seems like Kanon has already returned to her daily life~"

Hanon thought for a moment and said, "Not entirely. I played American football for a few months and had a lot of fun, but recently I've gotten involved in combat sports. I didn't really want to come to this event, but if my friends hadn't insisted on coming, I would probably be practicing at home right now."

Okubo was very curious: "Is Hanane also honing her skills? That must be an extremely high level of martial arts! It's a pity there are too many people here, otherwise I would really like to see it."

"Well..."

Hanon pondered for a moment, and just then the production team replaced the boxing machine with a new one. With the attitude of "participation first," Ms. Rimi went up and threw a punch.

"Even if we can't win the championship, let's give it a try! Hey ya ya ya—ah!"

Rimi misjudged the distance; not only did her punch miss the target, but she also twisted her wrist due to excessive force as she extended her arm forward, causing her to kneel down and tremble in pain.

Ms. Rimi, you're too weak! .jpg

"This! Hehehe..." Whether it was Kanon, Okubo, or everyone else watching, they all said the same thing: "Her performance is also impossible to determine..."

After Rimi, it's Kanon's turn.

"Please welcome contestant number 146, Ms. Ye Huayin, to the front!"

"Ha, it's my turn." Kanon smiled at Okubo: "Well, I'll show you my newly practiced technique, but I'm not very skilled yet, so I might not be able to use it properly."

Waving goodbye to Okubo, Kanon strode towards the boxing machine, appearing nonchalant on the surface, but as she walked, she was already contracting and relaxing her muscles with all her might, just like Hibiki.

"Huh? Hanon, aren't you standing too close to the boxing machine? It's hard to generate power like that." Seeing Hanon walk right up to the boxing machine, Ayaka quickly corrected her posture.

"Oh, well, I wasn't really thinking about winning anyway, I'll just give it a try." Hanon said dismissively, her movements slow and deliberate. She didn't seem to be building up her strength or exerting any force; she was simply moving her fist towards the target gently and slowly.

However, when Kanon's fist touched the punching machine, something magical happened.

"After defensive power reduction, it's time to practice offensive power reduction. Let's see the results of my training these past few days!"

What appeared to be an ordinary punch was actually a strike delivered with complete focus by Hanon after adjusting her state! The fist, after relaxing, tightened to unleash power far exceeding its usual strength. The so-called power dissipation in attack is to relax to the limit and then tighten to the limit, thereby unleashing unparalleled power. At its peak, even Guo Haihuang's muscleless body was enough to crush any target.

"Boom—" This time, the punching machine didn't make any sound; it just shattered.

Like a sandcastle that was struck by an earthquake, it silently crumbled and fell apart.

Once again, everyone was stunned—three consecutive unpredictable results?!

"Is it the technique of exerting force?" Okubo was the first to come to his senses and asked subconsciously. Although Kanon's attack was quite successful, it was not perfect. At least Okubo could see some uncertain clues.

However, Okubo was a top-notch fighter. Others didn't have his experience or insight, nor did they have the expectation that "Kane is super strong." What others saw was that this girl, number 146, lightly touched the punching machine, and it broke. It was clearly the machine's fault.

"Director Izumi, we're definitely going to have to give the prop company a piece of our mind! They actually tried to fool us with a cheap boxing machine!" The crew members were complaining to Izumi Kudoro when they noticed that their boss's eyes were off and he was starting to roll his eyes.

"Oh no! The director has fainted! Quick, call the on-site doctor!"

The prank plan completely failed, and he's now living in Kudoro, truly suffering inside...

Section 425, Chapter 419: Kanon Steps into the Same River Twice

That variety show about testing punching power eventually turned from pranking passersby into pranking the production team itself. Kudoro Izumi successfully transitioned from director to entertainer, selling his looks (just kidding) and editing his embarrassing expressions into the end of the show, finally achieving decent ratings. Now the production team staff can finally get bonuses, which is truly gratifying.

As for Hanon, she spent the next two weeks honing her power-dissipating techniques until Guo Haihuang sent her a message confirming the date of the global underworld brawl.

"Okay, don't worry, Uncle, I'll take good care of myself. It's a little cold in New York, but it's fine, I'm healthy! Bye~"

After hanging up with Kirito Takakaze, Kanon dialed another number: "Hey, Adam, are you at that hotel? Okay, thank you for your help these next few days. Keep in touch."

Ahem, of course, Hanon wouldn't dare tell her uncle that she was going to Hong Kong to participate in some kind of "gangster brawl" fighting competition. So, her excuse was that she was flying to the United States with her Deimon teammates to cheer them on at the World Youth Football Championship. This reason was quite convincing, after all, Hanon had indeed spent a lot of time on American football, and this tournament just happened to be taking place at that time, so there was no reason to doubt it.

As for Adam, he was a double insurance plan prepared by Kanon. To avoid her uncle having to "check up" on her at the last minute, Kanon not only arranged for Adam to stay at the hotel where the Japanese team was staying, but also asked Hiruma to set up some signal forwarding settings. If someone contacted Kanon, the IP address they would see would only be the New York hotel, and if a call was made to the New York hotel, it would be automatically forwarded to Kanon's mobile phone.

Tsk tsk, Hanon's methods of running away from home are quite professional and sophisticated.

After arranging everything, Hana looked out the window. The plane was taxiing and was about to land in Hong Kong.

As soon as she stepped out of the airport, before Hana could even look around, another huge sign stood there, reading "Welcome Ye Haiwang".

The person holding the sign was an acquaintance. Although I didn't know his name, he was the same person who had picked up Hanako at the airport in Guangzhou more than a month ago.

"Hi, it's you again." Hana greeted him. This time, the smile of the person picking him up was much more genuine, no longer carrying the hostile undertones of the previous smile.

"Hahaha, Ye Haiwang, please don't make fun of us. We were deceived by Elder Wang from the Northern Martial Arts Province's rumors before, and we were very offended. Now that the truth has come out, Elder Wang has received the punishment he deserves. We apologize to you here!" You can't hit a smiling face. This person was sent by the Southern Martial Arts Province to pick us up at the airport. He is indeed a shrewd person.

Hanon didn't argue with him any longer, nodded, and got into the car. The car sped through the streets of Hong Kong. It was already night, and the bustling streets were ablaze with lights. It was Hanon's first time in Hong Kong, and she took the opportunity to enjoy the sights from a tourist's perspective.

But this car has been driven for far too long, hasn't it?

The car drove around for a long time without reaching its destination, and gradually, Kanon couldn't bear the fatigue of the journey and fell asleep in the back seat. When the car finally came to a stop, Kanon was fast asleep.

Wait a minute, the place this person brought Hanon to... seems a bit off!

This is a building under construction. Although it's located in the city, it's deserted after the workers leave at night. Could it be that the person picking her up sold Hana into slavery again?!

"You've arrived." Sure enough, as soon as the car came to a stop in the building, the construction lights inside were turned on, and a person slowly walked out of the darkness.

"Greetings, young master." The person who picked him up got out of the car, bowed respectfully to the man, and opened the back door for him: "This is Ye Haiwang, but she is too tired from the journey and is asleep now."

"Is that Ye Huayin?" The man glanced into the car. "She's just a young girl, yet she's become a playboy and is highly regarded by the old man... Oh ho, she's sleeping so soundly that she's even drooling."

Indeed, Kanon was sleeping soundly...

The car door opened, and a gust of night wind jolted Hana awake. She rubbed her eyes, and it took her a long time to understand what was happening.

"..."

"........."

"Who are you?"

"Hey! You're still such a natural airhead!" The person called "Young Master" couldn't help but complain, instantly shattering his persona as the mastermind behind the scenes.

After he yelled at her, Hana-on seemed to sober up a bit and began to observe the situation: "Hmm, you two, did you kidnap me?"

She didn't pay much attention to "Young Master," but instead stared at the people who came to pick her up: "You've messed with me twice already, isn't this about to escalate into a personal feud? But this time I don't feel any hostility from you, how strange."

Being stared at by a master of the Sea King level would be difficult for most people to remain calm. Although the person who picked him up was quick-witted, he was ultimately just a errand boy for the Martial Arts Department, and he immediately felt guilty. He coughed and said, "Ahem, Sea King Ye, please don't blame me. I have no ill intentions and am just following orders. This is Guo Haihuang's youngest son, Guo Chuncheng."

"Guo Haihuang's son..." Still not fully out of her drowsy state, Huayin subconsciously reached out her hand: "Hello?"

"Slap!" Guo Chuncheng slapped Hua Yin's hand away: "Hey, I'm not here to make friends!"

"Hmm?" Hua Yin took a serious look at Guo Chuncheng. This was the son that Guo Haihuang had produced when he was 120 years old. He had dark skin, much like his father, and a head of messy hair. He was not very tall, about 1.8 meters, and his muscles were not very big but full of wild explosive power. He was obviously a martial artist who took the explosive route.
