"Sir, you want to fight me? I'm very busy, you'd better make an appointment first." Having calmed down, Hanon also chose to give Yujiro the cold shoulder, which only made Yujiro more interested in her: "Interesting, there's actually someone like this in this boring tournament!"

Yujiro's high regard for "Joaquin" greatly displeased Baki, who was watching from afar.

His feelings for Yujiro were too complicated. There was hatred, admiration, and fear, as well as the natural father-son affection. At this moment, he suddenly saw Yujiro valuing another boy so much... no, two people, and Yuu Nai that day. Baki didn't like them at all!

In a corner of the lounge, another person coldly observed Yujiro, Joaquin, and Yuu Tennen, while also watching Baki. It was the Canadian fighter named Jack Hanma, who had previously kept a low profile, but now seemed to be hiding a deep secret...

These are not what Kanon is most concerned about right now.

She kept her eyes glued to the big screen, waiting for the moment when Shiba Inu would take off her special attack uniform—during the New Year, Kanon had scribbled all over Shiba Inu's back with a pen; the marks couldn't be washed off with water, only faded. She wondered if, months later, she'd still be able to see her "masterpiece."

Author's Note: Not much to say, four updates tomorrow~

Section 521, Chapter 515: The Dedicated "Demon Biker Tribe"

The battle between Shiba Chiharu and Hatanaka Kohei began very late.

Although Hatanaka was slow to get on the field, the main problem was Shiba Chiharu. He brought a bunch of biker gang members to the event, jumping and yelling around the sidelines, making a huge scene. Plus, Shiba Chiharu was a seasoned delinquent, fond of brawling and fighting. Facing a legitimate judo champion like Hatanaka, he displayed some "manly spirit"... well, to put it bluntly, he stuck cigarette butts on himself, flexed his muscles, and made provocative gestures to boost the atmosphere. It worked quite well, really heating up the atmosphere in the arena.

Then Shiba Chien-chun took off the battle robe she was wearing.

"Ah, this is it." Hanon had been waiting for a long time, just to see if there were any traces of the "mark" she left for Shiba Chiharu.

The result... Emmm... the traces are still there.

It's not just any ordinary "present".

The majestic three-headed golden dragon tattoo on Chai Qianchun's back has been replaced with a cute cartoon face. A red mark on his neck looks as if the three-headed dragon's head has been cut off, and there is a newly added large dinosaur tearing at the three-headed dragon.

This is what Kanon drew on Shiba Chiharu's back. It was New Year's, four months ago. Even if the marker is hard to wash off and left a mark, it should have faded by now—that's why Kanon was so focused on finding the trace! But now the image is clearly visible on Shiba Chiharu's back, showing no signs of fading, and even more realistic and vivid than when Kanon drew it…

Chai Qianchun actually had the design re-tattooed on his back!

"Pfft—hahahahaha." The audience in the stands burst into laughter. This tattoo was hilarious! So the fierce biker gang leader was actually a cute and goofy person at heart? The contrast was too much!

But when they saw Chai Qianchun's tattoos, his gang of henchmen showed expressions of grief and indignation.

“Waaaaah, Brother Chiharu…” The bald man wearing sunglasses, named Suzumoto, was Chiharu’s number one follower, much like Kizaki was to Hanayama. He cried especially loudly: “Waaaaah, Brother Chiharu is such a man! Even when he has to endure the contempt of the public, he always reminds himself not to forget the shame and to get back at him! I have no regrets in my life if I can follow such a brother.”

Ever since Shiba Chiharu was humiliated by Kanon at Tochigi Disneyland and had a prank "artwork" painted on his back, he considered it an immense disgrace. He not only intensified his physical training but also tattooed the "humiliation" onto his body. Shiba Chiharu vowed to find the masked man who defeated and humiliated him, personally defeat him, and then cut the skin off his back. At that time, this prank tattoo would be his lifelong glory and memory!

No wonder they're Japan's number one biker gang; they're so ruthless to themselves...

The scene behind Shiba Inu was so impactful that it was naturally captured by the arena's cameras. A large close-up shot was projected onto the screen, and everyone in the lounge could see it too. Hanon put her hand to her forehead and said, "Oh dear, this is really troublesome."

The saying goes, "It's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you." Shiba Chiharu is a fearless fighter. Don't underestimate him just because he's not strong. Once he gets entangled with someone, he's a real pain, especially since Kanon is a non-killing person. You can't solve the problem "once and for all."

Fortunately, Shiba Chiharu didn't know that the person who defeated him during the New Year was Kanon.

Ahem, Shiba Chiharu, obsessed with revenge, bought an annual pass for Tochigi Disneyland and goes to the amusement park every day, especially the haunted house, which he has visited hundreds of times. However, he still can't find the mysterious masked man. Instead, because of his fierce appearance and daily presence, he has been mistaken by tourists as a new addition to the haunted house. There have been many comments online calling him a "ghost biker gang member." Everyone says that this staff member is quite dedicated and has good acting skills, but the biker gang character is too confusing and doesn't fit the style of Tochigi Disneyland at all. They hope that the staff member can be used properly and given a new role.

"I'm outta here." Having seen what she wanted to see, but with the pressure suddenly increasing, Kanon looked away. Having faced Shiba Chiharu before, she knew very well what was going to happen next—probably an ugly but thrilling match.

Chai Qianchun may be knocked down, but he will get back up. Chai Qianchun's offense and defense may be at a disadvantage, and his injuries may become more severe, but as long as he cannot be killed in one blow, and is left unconscious for a long time, or is simply killed, then this tough guy with a will stronger than steel will get up again and again to launch a new attack.

"In the end, Shiba Chiharu will win." Kanon shook her head and made a judgment: "Because Hatanaka Kohei is a judoka from the outer world, and he has always been engaged in matches with perfected rules, so he is definitely not suited to Shiba Chiharu's fighting style."

Now, it's time for Kanon to focus on another battle in the lounge.

After all, this will determine who you will face later.

Yuu Tennen is 188 cm tall and weighs 89 kg. She uses the Tennen-ryu fighting style.

Yamamoto Nen, 184 cm tall and 102 kg, is a wrestling expert with a very complex set of techniques. He is known as a master of counter-attacks with no blind spots or weaknesses.

While Shiba Chiharu and Hatanaka Kohei were provoking each other, the two on this side had already gotten into position, and the battle was yet to begin in another match.

"This guy was about to stomp his foot before making his move, so he might be a karate or taekwondo expert, skilled in kicking techniques." Yamamoto Nen calmly analyzed his opponent: "His kick can shatter concrete, so his strength is undeniable. I need to focus on defense and counter-attacks, patiently searching for his weaknesses. As long as I... ah?"

Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw Tian You rise up from the ground.

This time, she didn't stomp her feet, but Tian Tianyou jumped really high, really high...

"Wow, that's ridiculous!" Hanon gasped. "It's like walking in the air."

"Hmph, that kid is the president's bodyguard I borrowed from the White House." Yujiro Hanma was still by Kanon's side, and he was willing to say a few more words about this young man who could withstand two of his moves and still move with ease: "You can see for yourself, he might be able to demonstrate the essence of fighting skills."

"Oh?" Hanon raised an eyebrow, but her punk-style hairstyle completely masked it: "The essence of fighting techniques..."

Tian Tianyou jumped extremely high and stomped down on Yamamoto Nian from above. The stomp was so heavy that it sent his opponent, who was more than 20 kilograms heavier than him, flying.

But that wasn't the end of it. Using the momentum from stepping on Yamamoto's arm, Tenten Yu didn't land. Instead, he somersaulted forward and caught up with Yamamoto in mid-air... and stepped on him again.

Stomp, s ......

Tian Tianyou's feet never touched the ground, and his attacks were relentless, constantly striking at Yamamoto!

"Heh, the so-called warrior without any blind spots, now he can't even fight back." Yujiro smiled. He didn't look down on Yamamoto, but he genuinely thought highly of Tenten.

There's a principle that Kanon understood a long time ago—relying solely on defense is a dead end; no matter how strong the defense is, it will eventually be broken.

Yamamoto encountered such a predicament, and his original defense was already very weak. Faced with Tianyou's continuous stomping, he quickly could not stop it and was broken through the defensive circle, with a foot stepping on his face.

Those are stomps that can crush concrete floors...

Yamamoto Nen's movements stopped instantly, and Tenten Yu landed on his opponent's face, his feet never touching the ground, which was extremely graceful and free.

"I'll leave the rest to you all." After instructing the staff, Tianyu politely approached Tokugawa: "Mr. Tokugawa..."

"No need for further explanation." Tokugawa Mitsunari's eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, his whole body trembling with excitement. "Yamamoto's spot is yours now. Isn't the outcome obvious?"

Author's note: This is my first update today. I was writing quite quickly at first, but I was probably hungry towards the end, and my thoughts couldn't keep up.

Section 522, Chapter 516: Heroes Grow Old, Time Takes Its Scythe

Yuu's victory was not an unexpected result, after all, he was a warrior who had been recognized by Yujiro Hanma!

Meanwhile, the battle between Shiba Chiharu and Hatanaka Kohei had also passed the middle stage. Just as Kanon had predicted, Shiba Chiharu was able to get back up after being knocked down several times, and even having an arm broken could not stop him.

Hanon turned her head and watched the match for a while, then shook her head: "Hatamaka's technique is ten times better than Shiba Chiharu's, and his attack power is at least three or four times stronger. However, Shiba Chiharu's health is probably fifty times that of Hatamaka... There's no doubt about it."

Indeed, without any suspense, the match ended with Shiba Chiharu breaking his arm and suffering a serious injury, yet still managing to kick Hatanaka Kohei despite his severe injury.

Chai Qianchun was covered in blood—most of it his own—and raised his still-intact hand, shouting to his underlings in the audience, "What do you think?"

"Waaah, Chiharu-nii is a true man!" The underlings were naturally thrilled, waving their biker gang flags even more enthusiastically: "Chiharu! Chiharu!"

Infected by the atmosphere of these delinquent teenagers, the ordinary audience also erupted in cheers. It must be said that although these thugs are noisy, they are first-rate at stirring up trouble. They are very good at both mocking their rivals and inciting the public.

The contestants in Zone C may not seem very strong, but they're all quite the attention-grabbers...

For example, the next two to enter the arena are Kengo Misaki, a disciple of the Paolin Temple style of martial arts—a martial artist dressed as a monk—against Mike Guin, an American professional wrestler dressed as an Indian warrior.

“One is 192 cm tall and weighs 131 kg. The other is 176 cm tall and weighs 72 kg… There is a big difference in their physiques. Can Kengo Misaki reverse this gap?” Kanon was still very interested in the new match.

Whether it's the elimination tournament or this so-called fighting tournament to determine the world's strongest fighter, Kanon's goal is always very pure: to see more strong fighters and improve her martial arts skills in battle. She can be described as having a "pure heart"!

"What, don't you consider your opponent at all?" Yujiro Hanma had been standing near Kanon without leaving. He found this "Joaquin" really interesting. He didn't seem to care about Yuu Tenten or even him, Yujiro. But if you said this person was arrogant and rude, he didn't have the arrogant and manic temperament. He was just neither humble nor overbearing, neither too close nor too distant. He was the type that Yujiro Hanma was not good at dealing with. It was no surprise that even the strongest creature in the world had to eat, drink, excrete, and communicate with people. He just had his own philosophy, but he was not a true monster who did not eat or drink.

Yujiro couldn't handle Kanon, and Kanon didn't like the overly domineering Yujiro either, so she simply went to a corner of the lounge, knowing that Yujiro wouldn't have the nerve to keep talking to her.

Indeed, seeing that "Joaquin" had gone far away, Yujiro Hanma felt bored and spat, "Hmph, let's talk about it after you fight with Yuu Tennen... I'll spare you for now." He raised his palm, the world's strongest and most powerful palm was trembling almost imperceptibly, "My muscles are already roaring with hunger, I'll go out and find some 'snacks' for now."

With Yujiro Hanma gone, Kanon was finally able to watch the game in peace... right?

No, another person walked up and sat down next to Hanon, and started talking to himself.

"Young man, you did a great job! You managed to stay calm even when facing that evil spirit. You might be even better than me!"

"Ah, you flatter me." Hana was very respectful to the person who had come up to her, not daring to be negligent.

After all, that was the karate grandmaster Goji Doppo, known as the "God of War"!

Yuji Doppo is Yuji Katsumi's adoptive father, the head of the Shinshin-ryu Karate school, and a master who has roamed the martial arts world for over forty years. His footprints are all over the world, and he has left behind many stories. He is practically a walking legend.

However, just like during the elimination tournament, another old martial artist known as the "God of War," Takemoto Hisahisa, was reduced to being utterly defeated by Nikaido Ren and having his fighter spot stolen (of course, the fighter spot from Byakuya News was immediately taken by Kanon). As the old Doppo Goji ages, he now seems to be losing his strength.

His body and face were covered in scars, and one of his eyes was gone, replaced by an eyepatch. Kanon had heard from Honbu Izo that Guji Doppo had fought with Hanma Yujiro, and that's when Hanma took his eye. He was also beaten to the point of not being able to breathe, barely managing to survive. In the past two years, most of the affairs of the Shinshinkai had been handed over to Guji Katsumi, and Guji Doppo had lived a secluded life. The old martial god was no longer the powerful figure he once was.

It's incredibly difficult to bear the aging of heroes, and the most merciless thing is the knife of time...

Fortunately, Doppo's mindset remained optimistic, and he and Kanon enjoyed watching Misaki's battle against Koin together in a very easygoing manner.

The giant from the United States, Guin, was the first to attack, throwing a punch at Misaki.

"For his physique, that's fast," Du Bu said. "I've heard that Guin has also participated in GG boxing matches; he's not just good at performing."

Hanon shook her head: "It has nothing to do with the performance. There is no high or low in martial arts skills, but there are strong and weak martial artists. Aren't Guan Linjun, Zhushou Kanji, and Taishan Touyu all wrestlers who are very good at performing? They are much stronger than this American!"

As they spoke, the situation on the field changed. Misaki Kengo not only dodged Gunn's attacks but also launched a counterattack with sharp punches and kicks. Although limited by Misaki's physique, these attacks were not particularly powerful, but they were still attacks from a martial arts master. Accumulated over time, they were not to be underestimated. In addition, the speed was extremely fast and the attacks were relentless. Mike Gunn was forced to retreat continuously, and he could not even open his eyes. He could only throw punches wildly when his opponent's attacks paused.

Now they've fallen into Misaki's trap.

If necessary, Misaki could have increased the density of his attacks, but he deliberately left room for maneuver. Originally, he only needed to rest once in the middle of a punching session, but he increased it to three times. The two extra breaks were to lure Guin into counterattacking.

Now that Guin has retaliated, Misaki has seized the opportunity to grab and lock his arm.

"Hehe, this is the style that Paolin Temple is best at!" Yuji Dubu laughed heartily: "The outcome is decided."

After Misaki Kengo controlled Guin's arm, he really put it to good use, using the excruciating pain from twisting the joints to force Guin to roll around and scream in agony, like a giant Transformer toy being kneaded at will. Under the wear and tear of these joint manipulations, Guin's fighting spirit and stamina were rapidly depleting.

Misaki's final flip sent Mike Gooden's massive body soaring into the air! He was flipped and thrown by someone who weighed only about half his own weight! Even more terrifying, Gooden's arm was twisted 180 degrees after the fall, which meant... it was broken.

If it still wasn't broken, Kengo Misaki broke it again, and now it should be about done.

"The outcome is decided!"
