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

So Baki's starting point was correct, but it's hard to say whether it was an overcorrection. The key to this matter lies in whether Katsumi realized that the opponent had already lost his fighting ability but still pursued him. This is very idealistic and vague. Even Katsumi himself may not be able to explain his feelings at the time. From childhood to adulthood, he has been used to adding a finishing blow to completely secure the victory.

So it's a mess!

Faced with a confusing situation, martial artists don't prepare evidence and argue for days like lawyers do, nor are there judges to decide the outcome. This group of martial artists is more accustomed to acting impulsively when in doubt, letting the goddess of victory determine right and wrong.

So Baki and Katsumi didn't get along after just a few words, and the next second they attacked at the same time, exchanging blows.

"Oh, a fight has broken out."

Both Baki and Katsumi used high kicks as their attack method, while placing their hands on their faces to block the opponent's kicks. In terms of counter-attacks, they were evenly matched.

However, Katsumi is taller than Baki, with a greater arm span and leg length, and even bigger muscles!

Therefore, Baki's attack was completely blocked by Katsumi, but Katsumi's kick grazed Baki's brow bone—a spot with few nerves, so the cut caused little damage and even pain. However, the brow bone is rich in capillaries, and wrestlers secretly cut their brow bones to bleed during ring performances when a scene requires significant bleeding. Now that Baki's brow bone was broken, blood instantly streamed down his face, making him appear weaker than Katsumi and losing a move.

"Ah—a huge disadvantage for the champion!"

But this wasn't referring to Baki, but rather to the scene on the big screen where boxing champion Tyson was being forced back by Li Menghu.

Tyson's punches were incredibly powerful because he weighed nearly ten kilograms more than Gaolang. Although his punching speed wasn't as fast as Gaolang's, his punching power was astonishing. If Gaolang had possessed such punching power during the elimination match, then Gana, who was dominated by Gaolang's striking techniques throughout the match, would definitely have lost. However, Gaolang simply lacked that punching power. There's no way around it; agility and weight are inherently incompatible. Even if a martial artist can achieve a balance of strength and softness, they are only trying to balance these two attributes within the limits of their own physical condition.

So not only did Gaolang's punches have shortcomings, but Tyson's punches weren't omnipotent either. Although his punches were as powerful as cannonballs, it would be tragic if he missed. Li Menghu had precisely identified this point, and from the very beginning, he focused on attacking the lower body, avoiding the attack range that boxers were accustomed to.

Boxers don't use their legs, which is precisely what Taekwondo excels at. Soon, Tyson's legs were covered in bruises. Li Menghu exclaimed with delight, "What kind of boxing champion are you? You felt it yourself, didn't you? Just one more kick and your legs won't be able to take it! Take this!"

But Li Menghu miscalculated.

Having been repeatedly attacked in the lower body, Tyson had retreated all the way to the edge of the ring. Seeing Li Menghu once again crouching down to kick him from below, the boxing champion reacted quickly, leaping directly onto the wall. Not only did he avoid the kick, but he also, from his superior position, delivered a powerful punch straight to Li Menghu's face.

"Ah—hit!"

On the big screen, the commentator loudly announced that Li Menghu, who had been hit in the face with a heavy punch, was knocked out.

Meanwhile, the situation in the lounge also changed. Baki was facing off against Katsumi, preparing to continue his attack, when suddenly someone walked up to him and punched him.

"Thump." That punch was pretty heavy.

The person who threw the punch was Kaoru Hanayama.

Author's Note: That's it, the big celebrity will make his appearance in the next chapter.

Section 518, Chapter 512: The World's Strongest, Yujiro Hanma!

Since it was Kaoru Hanayama who threw the punch, it's clear he didn't use his full strength; otherwise, Baki wouldn't have just fallen down.

The blade hasn't even broken its skin yet.

"Ah, Hanayama, what are you doing..." Baki wasn't knocked unconscious, but he was a little dazed. Hanayama was clearly his friend, so why did he attack him?

Hanazon retracted his fist, looked at Baki and was about to speak, but suddenly froze.

He felt an extremely fierce and wild aura appear behind him, like a samurai sword slashing down.

He was quite familiar with this aura; he had experienced it up close four years ago.

Hua Shan quickly turned around. In fact, the ferocious killing intent was so strong that everyone in the lounge looked over—

"Ah! You! Yujiro Hanma!"

Baki's father, the one known as the strongest creature in the world, Yujiro Hanma.

“Yu…” Baki was also stunned. The relationship between the father and son was very distant, especially since there was a grudge between them. Baki’s mother was killed by his father in front of him. So for many years, Baki almost never called Yujiro “Dad” and was more used to calling this peerless villain by his name.

But before Baki could call out his father's name, Hanayama, who had just realized what was happening, grabbed him and pulled him up.

"Where are you looking?!" Hanayama's eyes widened, his tone unusually fierce: "It doesn't matter who comes, Baki, how dare you bypass me and attack Katsumi Goji? He's my prey!"

"Hunter, prey?" Baki was stunned. He suddenly remembered that not long ago, when Katsumi and Retsu Kaioh had a dispute, Darkrov had come over and told Retsu Kaioh not to make any rash moves, because that would ruin the "integrity of his victory." And the same thing was being repeated with Hanayama, Katsumi, and Baki.

“…I was wrong.” Baki shook his head. As a relatively pure martial artist, he could understand Darkrov and Kaoru Hanayama’s thoughts. Faced with his friend’s questioning, he chose to back down.

However, Hanayama Kaoru's other friend, Kanon, held a pessimistic view: "That Darkrov just now got a really bad lesson from Retsu Kaioh, Hanayama, you're really raising your flag here..."

But now is not the time to worry about the mystical aspects of the second round of the competition; Kanon's attention is more focused on Yujiro Hanma in front of her.

Kanon first heard this person's name from Honbu Izo, who called him "the strongest creature in the world," and his strength was undoubtedly impeccable. Later, Kanon heard about this person's deeds from Tokugawa, Baki, Hanayama, and many other people, and the more the stories were told, the more fantastical they became, as if he were a god walking on earth.

Well, he's still a fierce god.

Kanon has heard the term "strongest" many times. She herself can call herself the "strongest woman." If she can beat Baki, she can also be the "strongest high school student." Yujiro Hanma's title of "the strongest creature in the world" does not necessarily mean that he is invincible. Doesn't the Rokujin Kaikan also have a "strongest man of the yellow race"?

However, Kanon was 100% certain that there was no stronger person in the world than Yujiro Hanma. The murderous aura and ferocious arrogance emanating from this guy even surpassed that of Wu Lei'an and Zakusa Samato of the Wu clan, and it was almost tangible! Such a guy didn't understand what it meant to conceal his tracks or to act discreetly. It was obvious without even guessing that he was a straightforward, ruthless villain who would cause destruction at will.

"Gulp." Hanon broke out in a cold sweat: "He looks like an extremely troublesome guy."

It's not that Kanon is afraid of Yujiro; she's just very cautious! From the very beginning of her martial arts journey, she's faced with challenges and obstacles.

But the truly arrogant ones...

"Prey? Me?" Katsumi Guji was probably the only one who wasn't too fond of Yujiro Hanma; his frivolous nature remained intact to this day.

Keji said to Huashan, "Now that you've described me like this, I can't pretend I don't hear it."

Having said that, a murderous aura suddenly arose.

Infected by Katsumi's murderous intent, Kaoru Hanayama instinctively responded, raising a fist almost the size of Katsumi's head and smashing it down.

Huashan's heavy punch would instantly kill an ordinary martial artist, but Guji Katsumi was a strongman who was about to "complete" karate. His physical strength and technique were both top-notch, and he easily blocked the punch with a simple movement.

In the blink of an eye, Katsumi's heavy punches landed three times on Hanayama's face.

Hua Shan immediately started bleeding from his nose.

But after all, it's Kaoru Hanayama. Kanon herself has verified his incredible resilience. Despite taking three heavy blows to the face, he remained completely composed. Instead, he showed excitement, raising his fists in preparation for a counterattack.

“Interesting, a good opponent.” Although Katsumi Guji was unhappy that Hanayama called him “prey,” he was clearly also “eager to hunt.”

In response, Kanon had no choice but to step forward, preparing to act as a peacemaker, just like when Retsu Kaioh and Darkrov clashed, and say, "Please stop fighting."

But Kanon's job was taken by someone else.

"You, and you too." Yujiro Hanma! He placed his hands on the shoulders of Hanayama and Katsumi, and neither of these top-tier experts reacted.

"Don't use violence here."

Listen to this, is it even human? Yujiro Hanma's very first line is actually an admonition to be kind...

So, this guy's appearance and behavior are really strange...

However, the statement of "the world's strongest creature" was still very intimidating. Hanayama and Katsumi really stopped their conflict, and everyone in the lounge was on high alert, waiting for Yujiro's next move.

Baki hesitated, his feelings for his father too complex: "Yoo..."

"Yūjirō! Ahhhhh!" It was Tokugawa Mitsunari who came running up crying.

The old man was truly decisive; upon entering the room, he immediately knelt before Yujiro Hanma: "This...this...this tournament is my lifelong dream! Please don't ruin it! I beg you, just quietly turn around and leave!"

Tokugawa was well aware of Yujiro's strength, and the two had actually maintained a close relationship over the decades. Because of this, Tokugawa was even more worried that Yujiro would come and cause trouble.

A tournament vying for the title of "World's Strongest" didn't even invite the "World's Strongest Creature"? In fairy tales, this kind of thing led to the appearance of Sleeping Beauty; in mythology, it caused the destruction of Troy. Now, if Yujiro were to use this as a pretext to disrupt the competition, tonight's match would be over and would turn into a bloodbath.

"Hehe." Yujiro Hanma, who had been swearing, surprisingly said something very calm: "Tokugawa, you've misunderstood. I'm just here as an apprentice."

Yujiro began walking toward the nearest martial artist, saying as he went, "Putting aside me, do you dare say that the world's strongest is determined by a competition? I'll help you correct this uneven skill level among the competitors."

Yujiro placed his hands on the warrior's shoulders: "We need to get rid of the unsuitable ones first, and then replace them with qualified strongmen!"

Yujiro pressed down on his arm.

What awaits that person is a tragic end: a bent or even broken spine, serious injury, or even death.

Really?

"Huh?" Yujiro suddenly realized that although he had said some cool things, he couldn't bring himself to press his hand down.

Tokugawa Mitsunari was stunned: "Joaquin..."

Yes, coincidentally, the fighter closest to Yujiro was Kanon, who had just stepped forward to persuade Hanayama and Katsumi to stop.

Author's Note: That unlucky kid Yujiro... There will be two more chapters tonight!

Chapter 519 Chapter 513: Yujiro vs. Kanon?

"Yujiro Hanma, wow, what a famous name!"

"What do you mean by the world's strongest creature? I think it's just so-so."

"That day he put his hands on Joaquin's shoulders and tried to press down, but he just couldn't move him. It was so funny, hahaha."

"Later, Yujiro Hanma's face turned red; he must have been very ashamed~"

"He even tried to make a move at the end, but he was stopped. Otherwise, I would really be looking forward to seeing how things would have gone if the stalemate had continued until the end."

A staff member at an underground gladiator in Tokyo Dome described the situation to others a few days later in this way.

Yujiro was indeed a bit unlucky, because his first target was actually Kanon, no, "Joaquin".

Although experts can often sense each other's extraordinary abilities, Hanon's personality is inherently reserved, and this flamboyant outfit is too flashy; she doesn't exude any aura of a strong person at all.

So Yujiro casually put his hand on Kanon's shoulder, ready to "get rid of this trash".

As it turned out, his "fierce" and seemingly invincible arm strength, which should have been unstoppable, actually failed to move the punk teenager in front of him!

The other person's spine should have been twisted or even broken; it's a miracle they didn't turn into a ball of flesh.
