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

"Huh?" Hanada and Baki were both stunned.

"Just turned fifty."

"Ah, congratulations, teacher!" Hanada and Baki said in unison.

But the head of the unit wasn't saying this to ask for blessings. He gave a meaningful smile: "The current sumo yokozuna and the judoka who is turning fifty together in a match, in other people's eyes they must look like two fools, right? Haha."

"But this kind of competition is what makes it interesting~" someone behind the headquarters chimed in.

"Oh? You are..." Baki was taken aback. He hadn't noticed anyone getting so close at all. This was strange!

Headquarters was also taken aback, but after recognizing the newcomer, they dismissed it: "Isn't this Miss Kanon! You really did come! It seems you're one of the two mysterious latecomers Tokugawa mentioned." He then introduced everyone: "This is the unworthy disciple Hanada Junichi, this is the arena champion Hanma Baki, and this is Miss Kanon, also a very formidable fighter~"

"Wow, a female fighter? She'll be participating in tonight's match?" Baki already had a lover in his heart, the little girl Matsumoto Koe who came to the underground fighting arena with him, so he didn't care about women. He was just shocked that Kanon could participate and even received the approval of the headquarters.

As for Hanada Junichi, he was always a frivolous, popular guy. He'd toned it down a lot in recent years, but before he was taught a lesson by Touyu four years ago, he was an absolute lawless bastard. When he saw Hanon, all he could think about was "how beautiful," and he didn't think about the female fighter at all.

After the introductions, the headquarters added, "I'm about to enter the battlefield, so I won't be chatting with you for now."

"Yes, I wish you good luck in your battle~" Hanon took a step forward and saw off the headquarters. She then stayed at the entrance of the passage to watch the battle with Baki and Hanada.

Inside the arena, the host introduced: "From the direction of Genbu is the judo master Honbu Izo, who is extremely skilled in actual combat! His opponent, from the direction of Byakko, is the current sumo yokozuna, Kinryuzan! Please come to the center of the ring."

Suddenly, Jinlongshan raised his leg and did a split – a very famous technique in sumo wrestling, the four legs.

After the four legs are raised, another standard sumo move follows – a stomp. Given the weight of a sumo wrestler, the power of this stomp can often shake the ground and the hearts of the people.

As the supreme Yokozuna of Jinlong Mountain, the force of his four stomps on the ground was naturally astonishing. The entire audience was awestruck by this aura, and many people gaped, speechless: "What a mighty man! Truly worthy of being called Yokozuna!"

Even Kanon was shocked: "Ghost King Mountain has never used this before..."

Well, after all, Ghost King Mountain is an unconventional "my style" sumo wrestler, while Kinryu Mountain is a top-tier master of traditional sumo.

Jinlongshan did this not only to boost his own morale but also to demonstrate to headquarters. Therefore, after the referee checked that there were no weapons, the two stared at each other for a full six or seven seconds before turning around and returning to their positions.

"The match begins!"

Jinlongshan launched the first attack.

That charge... was quite astonishing.

Whether it's the new sumo of Oni-o-zan or the old sumo of Kinryu-zan, the sumo wrestler's charge is always the most astonishing. After all, sumo wrestlers possess the highest weight of any sport, and this weight brings enormous kinetic energy. Sumo wrestlers at the Kinryu-zan level have a charge speed and power that are no less than Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion".

Faced with such an attack, headquarters had a very difficult time coping.

Although he trained day and night and devoted his life to martial arts, his talent was limited and his body could hardly be tempered to the highest level. Faced with Jinlong Mountain's charge, he only had time to sidestep the first impact, but that was all he did. The force of the wind generated by Jinlong Mountain's huge body still engulfed him.

This means that headquarters is now completely exposed to Jinlong Mountain's pursuit...

Having halted his charge, Jin Longshan swung his arm and delivered a powerful palm strike—his arm was almost as thick as the waist of the main force, so the force of the strike was immense, and the speed was also very fast, forcing the main force to dodge with all his might. Although he managed to avoid it, his situation became increasingly difficult, and he would not be able to dodge the second palm strike.

Once a sumo master starts pushing his palm, it can be endless!

"Pfft—" There was no need for a continuous barrage; Jinlongshan's second palm strike hit the target—directly striking the head!

Blood gushed from his nostrils and mouth simultaneously, his feet left the ground, and he was sent flying!

Author's Note: The last chapter will be around 11 PM.

Section 500, Chapter 494: Super Practical? That's all?

The main body crashed into the wall of the stands, but the impact on the wall was probably not as great as Jinlongshan's palm strike.

The power of that palm strike made Hua Yin shrink back, saying, "It hurts!"

At the same time, Kanon also felt a bit doubtful: "What about Honbu Izo's 'super practical combat'? That's it?"

If the headquarters has an even more powerful killing move, he'd better use it now, otherwise he'll inevitably face defeat! In fact, the fact that he wasn't knocked out by Jinlong Mountain's palm strike was already the result of the headquarters' years of training, resulting in a tough body and excellent force-dissipating techniques.

Jinlongshan's pursuit did not stop. Before Benbu could even stand up straight, Jinlongshan grabbed Benbu's ear with one hand and lifted Benbu's belt with the other, throwing him to the ground.

Do you remember when Kanon first came into contact with martial arts? It was at the Judo Tournament at Tsuramine Academy. There was also a sumo wrestling club participating in the competition. Kanon even learned a move called "Buddha's Altar Return" that was considered god-level... As a fighting technique, sumo wrestling does have many similarities with judo. In addition to charging and pushing, grappling techniques are also a specialty of sumo wrestlers!

However, it seems that Jinlongshan has made a mistake this time.

At the Judo Tournament of Hefeng Academy, "Buddha Altar Return" lost to "Mountain Mist". Purely in terms of grappling techniques, Judo is more professional. Just when Jinlongshan thought he had successfully knocked out the head of the main body, he saw that the head of the main body had successfully recovered and was unharmed. Moreover, one of the head of the main body had grabbed Jinlongshan's little finger.

Even a sumo Yokozuna with unparalleled strength and power wouldn't have fingers stronger than a skilled martial artist, right?

"You'll need to rest for a while and won't be able to play anymore." The main force, whose consciousness had been blurred by Jinlongshan's fierce attack, finished his victory declaration while blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Using this little finger as the axis, the main force's move is to break Jinlongshan's entire arm in one go!

“This is bad…” Baki said, “The headquarters teachers are in trouble.”

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Junichi Hanada asked in surprise.

Before Baki could answer, Kanon had already given him the answer: "In sumo matches, wrestlers grab each other's belts with their little fingers. This part is the key to generating power, possessing enough strength to lift a 200-kilogram wrestler. Uncle Motobe has miscalculated this time."

As Kanon said, the move that was half joint lock and half throw failed to work. He couldn't twist Kinryuzan's fingers and was then headbutted on the back of the head by the Yokozuna who had regained his senses, forcing him to let go.

Then came the final offensive and defensive maneuvers.

Honbu Izo surprisingly displayed a high level of striking skill, with sharp punches and kicks that relentlessly struck Kinryuzan's body and even his face. Kinryuzan, however, used his weight advantage to his advantage, maintaining his imposing physique and steadily advancing despite Honbu's attacks until they faced each other head-on, at which point he reached out and grabbed Honbu around the waist.

"Sigh, it's over." Not only Kanon, Baki, and Hanada, but almost all the warriors watching the battle, and all the spectators in the stands, realized that they were about to witness the defeat of their headquarters.

In the instant he was thrown down, the headquarters only had time to reach out and tear off the "giant ginkgo" hair bun of Jinlong Mountain.

The "Giant Ginkgo" was the symbol of the Ikumo Rikishi. The headquarters destroyed it, which resulted in Kinryuzan's angry pursuit.

The main force, already dazed and confused from the fall, was then hit by Jinlongshan's "four-legged" strike. When the foot, almost the size of his back, landed on the main force, it made a muffled "thud," ending the battle.

The headquarters looked like a flattened toad, lying on the ground, blood gushing from its mouth and spreading all over the place, the area getting bigger and bigger...

"The winner is Jinlong Mountain!" The emcee was stunned by the power of these "four forces" and hesitated for a moment before announcing the result with trepidation.

"Teacher Honbu!" The three people watching from the entrance were terrified. Honbu's injuries were really serious! Especially since Honbu didn't have superhuman physical abilities, taking such an attack might put his life in danger.

Well, now is not the time for Kanon to complain that the headquarters' "super combat" is completely useless. After getting to know this old hero, Kanon was also concerned about his injuries and followed the medical staff to the infirmary.

Some were worried, while others were happy... In any case, Tokugawa Mitsunari wasn't concerned about the injuries sustained by the main force, even though they had a good relationship. Tokugawa was a lifelong martial artist and had naturally witnessed many battles, victories, and even life and death among warriors. The main force's injuries weren't that serious, and he himself wasn't that strong, so Tokugawa didn't care much about him... Bah, that despicable old man.

"Baki Hanma, Shigeru, Kanji Inogari, and Kinryuzan... the upcoming matches in Zone A are very exciting!" Tokugawa simply happily underlined the names of the advancing players, then turned his gaze to Zone B: "What kind of exciting matches will these eight people put on? Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

There is a 15-minute break between each of the four groups (A, B, C, and D). During this break, the contestants in Group B are doing their final warm-up.

Well, it was supposed to be a warm-up, but actually everyone was mainly watching Doppo and Katsumi spar. Not everyone has a "martial arts god" father to guide them, and their movements were particularly slow, each move clear and distinct, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Ah, Baki, you're back." Among the crowd watching the Guji father and son was Kato Kiyosumi, a disciple of the Shinshinkai. He stood at the door and was the first to notice Baki's return: "How is Headquarters-Teacher?"

"Yes, the doctor said there's nothing serious." Baki was relieved. Now that the main force was alright, he could finally enjoy watching the sparring match between the "God of War" father and son.

"This Katsumi-kun is truly remarkable." After watching for a while, Baki praised, "It seems that the claim that karate has been perfected by him is not just empty talk."

Before he could finish speaking, Baki felt a gust of wind rushing towards him. "Whoosh—" It was like a sharp blade slicing across his neck. It turned out to be Kato's mid-air kick.

"Baki, don't underestimate me!" Although Kato was only a disciple of the Shinshin-ryu school, quite different from a young master like Katsumi, he was still a karate expert and a proud strongman: "I will definitely fight my way out of Area B. Don't lose either. Let's meet in the semifinals!"

Inspired by Kato's pride, Baki nodded emphatically: "We all need to do our best!"

However, Kato wasn't the only one with arrogance. Just as Doppo and Katsumi were finishing their sparring session, a man walked over and stood proudly behind Katsumi.

Katsumi turned around: "Oh, I remember you are... Retsu Kaioh from China?"

"I have something to ask you." Retsu Kaioh's expression and tone were both very serious.

"Oh?" Katsumi's face showed a helpless expression. He shrugged at his adoptive father, as if to imply that "this guy probably has something wrong with his head," before saying to Retsukai-oh, "Ask away."

Retsukai asked, "From the moment you appeared until just now, you've been saying 'Karate is completed in my hands,' what exactly does that mean?"

"Huh?" Katsumi was clearly taken aback by Retsu Kaiou's question. He now genuinely doubted Retsu's sanity: "That was just something I said casually, and Tokugawa used it as an introduction. Sigh, wasn't it all just to liven things up..."

Judging from this, Katsumi's personality is not bad; he's quite sunny, just like his appearance, and he doesn't want to cause conflict.

Unfortunately, Retsu Kaioh's personality...

"This statement is an insult to the four-thousand-year history of Chinese martial arts! You must correct it immediately!"

Author's Note: That concludes today's four chapters. Please sign for the update. Four more chapters will be released tomorrow.

Then Kanon should have a chance to appear tomorrow... probably.

These last one or two chapters have a bit of a foreshadowing feel to them.

Chapter 495, Section 501: The Taunting Genius Among Martial Artists

Retsu Kaioh's imposing aura was so overly serious that it made Katsumi Goji, on the other side, unsure whether he was serious or joking.

So, in his usual nonchalant, spoiled rich kid tone, Keji casually asked, "So, how do you want me to correct this?"

“It’s very simple. You just admit it now: ‘What I’ve learned is an immature boxing style that came from China. I have no idea that it is far from the highest level of Chinese martial arts. Therefore, I am a stupid and immature boxing master.’”

Hey, this explanation is unacceptable to anyone, let alone Katsumi Guji, who is highly regarded by the Shinshinkai, the representative organization of Japanese karate!

Everyone in the lounge was stunned by Retsu Kaioh's speech. People turned their heads to look. They had seen many arrogant guys, but someone who reached Retsu Kaioh's level was truly rare.

"Are you... serious?" Katsumi was still somewhat skeptical. "Do you really think I would say something like that?"

“I don’t care what you think,” Retsukai said firmly. “You must tell me.”

These two are like characters from a romance novel, one saying "Don't force me" and the other "I'll force you anyway." One is tough throughout, while the other is subtle and cunning. The final outcome is self-evident.

They're fighting.

"Drink!" Retsukai-oh adopted a Chinese boxing stance and directly confronted Guji Katsumi. It seemed that a private fight in the lounge was inevitable.
