"Miss Ye, you've arrived!" On the spectator stands, Kanon, now dressed in normal clothes, saw Baki.

Interestingly, Baki dislikes Joaquin, who receives more attention from Yujiro than he does, but is very friendly to Kanon, who entered the tournament as a woman, even though he has already learned from Tokugawa that Kanon has replaced Kinryuzan and may become his opponent in the quarterfinals.

Kanon's attitude towards Baki remained largely unchanged. Having memories of her past life, she saw Baki, who was the same age as her, as just a child, and indeed, a bit childish. Of course, as a martial artist, Baki was exceptionally talented; his true strength hadn't been fully revealed yet, making their encounter in the quarterfinals even more anticipated.

“I’m an only child.” Baki was unaware of Jack’s background, so he sighed, “For some reason, I’m so envious of them…”

At this moment, the final battle of the first round of the tournament is taking place in the arena. The brothers Hao Hongye and Hao Angsheng are fighting fiercely. Hao Angsheng even used his "rope-breaking technique" to pierce his brother's neck with his finger, blinding his brother in one eye!

"What a coincidence, I'm also an only child." Huayin leaned on the railing, somewhat listless. "I don't envy them at all. The way they fought is too bloody."

She came to the sidelines partly to watch the match, and partly to prepare for the collective debut of the first-round advancing martial artists after this competition.

Reminded by Shibukawa Takeki, Kanon realized that playing two roles by herself might backfire, so she urgently called her friends and family for help. At that moment, Garuda was busy with her makeup!

Garuda's body fat percentage is similar to Kanon's, but their heights are significantly different. Garuda is only 1.6 meters tall, and that's after a year of rapid growth during puberty. She was even shorter when they first met during the elimination tournament... But there's nothing she can do. Among her friends and family, she and Kanon are the closest in terms of body size, and there's no one else available.

"I hope Xiaotong can find something to increase her height... I hope that Garuda's appearance with the afro wig will mislead people's vision... I hope Garuda won't be stage-frightened during her performance and can smoothly complete the scene... Ugh, just thinking about it gives me a headache."

With something on her mind, the fierce battle between her brothers didn't seem so appealing anymore. Even though Hao Angsheng had launched a fierce attack and then severed the optic nerve on her brother's other side, completely robbing Hao Hongye of her sight, Hana didn't care much.

Until... Hao Hongye calmly looked up at the main light on the ceiling, and then, using the light, she raised her hand and stabbed herself in the neck, beginning an on-the-spot surgery to reconnect the severed nerves.

"Wow, this is too fantastical!" Hanon finally took it seriously. She remembered that Yingchu had recommended Dr. Hongye before, and now it seemed that he was indeed an extraordinary person.

"With such medical skills, fighting techniques have become more like a hobby... Yingchu is like that, and so is Hao Hongye. They are proficient in both medicine and martial arts. Are they cosplaying Wong Fei-hung?" Hanon, who had just come to her senses, started her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) mode and took another look at the contestants' information: "Wow! Hao Hongye weighs a whopping 131 kilograms. No wonder there is such a big difference in physique between her and her brother. She is another training fanatic!"

Clearly, the elder brother is indeed the elder brother; Hao Hongye appears to be significantly stronger than Hao Angsheng. After regaining his sight, he slapped his younger brother hard, sending Hao Angsheng tumbling 360 degrees in the air before crashing to the ground.

The slap didn't knock Hao Angsheng unconscious, but it did leave him dazed. Faced with his brother's overwhelming pressure, he backed down, sobbing, "Waaah, big brother, please forgive me."

“That’s enough, Angsheng…” After all, they are brothers. Seeing his younger brother back down, Hao Hongye raised his hand and touched his forehead.

Unexpectedly, this very action stirred up all sorts of memories and grievances that Hao Angsheng had accumulated over the years, prompting him to regain his fighting spirit—no, to greatly enhance it!

With a kick to his brother, Hao Angsheng began his counterattack. He did not attack first, and even opened his arms to let Hao Hongye hit him, but he refused to fall and insisted on moving towards his brother step by step: "Only here can I not back down anymore. I can't keep my head down for the rest of my life!"

No matter how many deadly moves Hao Hongye used, Hao Angsheng remained standing and continued forward, his path stained crimson with blood.

Hanon couldn't help but applaud him: "Great, what a man!" In the winners' bracket, it was also Koujiro who was the first to challenge Yujiro; he truly is a warrior with the heart of a hero. Overwhelmed by his brother's courage, yet unable to actually kill his loved one, Koujiro unconsciously retreated to the sidelines—otherwise, he would lose!

Emmm, in the end, Homoyo really did lose.

He raised his hands and hugged his younger brother: "My great brother, I'm entrusting the future to you!"

Applause erupted from the audience. The bloodshed of this match was exceptionally high, second only to the one in the first round where Huashan killed Daocheng Wenzhixin. But despite the bloodshed, the result and significance of the battle were harmonious. Hao Hongye held her younger brother's hand and raised it high together. This was Hao Angsheng's battle for spiritual independence, and the beginning of him truly standing shoulder to shoulder with his brother.

After the celebration, Hao Hongye left, leaving Hao Angsheng alone at the arena. He wasn't lonely, though, as the staff began to call the first-round qualifiers to enter and enjoy the cheers of the audience.

"Simple rules, brutal competition! Now entering the arena are the winners of the first round of fierce battles!" The commentator diligently hyped up the atmosphere: "Although fighting is barbaric, we can't help but feel respect for these fighting experts!"

“Garuda… Ah, she’s here after all.” Hanon noticed that “Joaquin” had also come to the entrance. That was naturally Little Garuda, and she even winked at Hanon.

"Phew, safe~" Hana breathed a sigh of relief.

However, it's not entirely safe; there were some minor hiccups.

"Little brother Joaquin~" After entering the arena, Yudi Dubu stood next to "Joaquin" and the old martial god approached him with a grin: "This round, you and I will be facing off. Good luck to each of you!"

Joaquin glanced at Doppo, nodded, but didn't say anything. He even took a few steps back, leaving Doppo completely bewildered: "Hey, why are you suddenly shy? Weren't we chatting quite well just now? And has he gotten shorter? And why is he wearing sunglasses?"

Yes, the eye problem is quite serious. Fortunately, Xiaotong reacted quickly backstage and found Garuda a pair of glasses to wear.

Next, it was time for Kanon to enter the arena. When the commentator announced the second round matchup, saying that Kanon had replaced Jinlongshan and both sides had agreed, a wave of voices erupted from the audience—a wave of opposition.

Unfortunately, this is the downside of not holding the competition openly. Sumo is Japan's national sport, and Yokozuna is the pride of Japan. Now, all they're saying is that Jinlongshan agreed to give their spot to a Chinese woman, a young girl at that, which is unacceptable to the audience.

A wave of opposition swept across the audience. Some said that women were not worthy of standing in the fighting arena, some accused Tokugawa of persecuting sumo wrestlers by giving them preferential treatment, and others believed that it was unfair to her next opponent, Inogari Kaneshiro, that Hanon had suddenly replaced Kinryuzan without going through the first round of fighting. In short, the crowd was in an uproar. Even though a few people recognized Hanon and knew that she was the champion of the Kengan Association, and were so excited that they trembled with excitement, the few people could not make much of a difference in a short time. The audience was still filled with unanimous doubts.

"Sigh, this is a bit troublesome." Tokugawa Mitsunari scratched his head and looked at Hanon: "How about Miss Ye holds another public exhibition match?"

"Huh?" Hanon was also feeling aggrieved by the boos from the crowd. She was just thinking about whether to withdraw from the competition, since she still had the pseudonym "Joaquin" to use. Suddenly, she heard that Tokugawa was going to hold a test. She suddenly realized, "Oh dear, could it be that this old bastard knew from the beginning that this would be the case?"

It's hard to believe, given Tokugawa Mitsukuni's ruthless approach to watching warriors fight, it's quite possible that he deliberately put Kanon in this situation just to see her fight more.

After considering for a few seconds, Hanon decided that regardless of whether Tokugawa did it on purpose or not, why would she be afraid of him?

"Great! I'll take on ten of them in an exhibition match!"

"Huh, ten?" Tokugawa Mitsunari hadn't expected him to take it seriously. "Miss Ye's request is a bit difficult... but it's manageable, though..."

Section 532, Chapter 526: I'm going to take on ten!

Tokugawa Mitsunari, who was in his seventies or eighties, was no longer as quick-witted as a young man, but with decades of experience, he was unmatched in the world when it came to arranging matches. When Kanon jokingly said that he would fight ten people, before Kanon could explain that he was just talking, Tokugawa had already summoned ten experts and they stood opposite Kanon.

Kanon only had time to scratch her head: "Ah, this..."

"This is utterly ridiculous!" Kirito Takakaze in the audience erupted before his niece could react: "What kind of situation is this, ten against one? Even if Kanon is strong, she's still a child!"

In fact, once the other contestants left the stage, leaving only Kanon, a frail woman, to face ten opponents, the ordinary people in the audience became much calmer.

Imagine you see ten burly men surrounding a beautiful young woman. Would you feel indignant that a group of men are bullying a lone woman? Or would you be intrigued, thinking that the woman is about to fight back and kill the ten strong men?

Of course, the current situation is that this woman is no ordinary person. The above assumptions are based on the normal world. Now it is a strange new world, and a strange fighting tournament.

"This...this is simply bullying!" A female audience member covered her eyes, unable to watch any longer.

"This is simply bullying!" The male audience member next to her said the same thing, only with a slightly different tone.

The female spectator thought she had found a kindred spirit and complained, "That's right, how could they put such a young girl on the stage and make her face ten people!"

The male audience member glanced at her, giving her a "you don't know anything" look: "Hey, this is Ye Huayin!"

"What happened to Ye Huayin again?"

"You don't know anything..." The male spectator held back, ignoring the female spectator, and looked excitedly at the arena: "Ye Huayin is the champion of the Kengan Association."

"Kengan Association? What's that?"

"You don't know anything!"

Similar conversations were taking place in many parts of the venue. The audience invited by Tokugawa Mitsunari was a diverse group, many of whom were ordinary people who simply loved fighting and had been enthusiasts of this semi-public underground arena for many years. These people were more focused on the real world and therefore did not know much about the Kengan Association. At this moment, they noticed that some political and business figures or yakuza members around them were showing expectant and excited expressions towards Ye Hanon. Only after inquiring did they learn a little bit of information.

However, the information obtained at the last minute was limited: "So she's the king of an underground fighting organization. That Kengan Association probably isn't that strong, right? Otherwise, how could they let a delicate girl become the champion?"

Only those who truly understand the field could contain their excitement: "After the decisive elimination round, Hanon has become a legend and has never appeared in the Kengan tournament again. I never expected to see her here today. This is the first time she has made a move in over half a year! Miss Hanon must have become even stronger!"

Hanon has indeed become stronger and more experienced in combat. After overcoming the initial awkwardness, she can now calmly face ten martial artists and assume a fighting stance.

No kidding, Hua Yin was actually quite excited: "Before I transmigrated, I watched Ip Man fight ten people at once, which made my blood boil and I longed to do it. I never thought I would have the opportunity to experience it for myself. I, Ye Hua Yin, will follow in the footsteps of my predecessors and win decisively!"

"Ready?" The arena referee had arrived, but he didn't have much to do except announce the start of the match: "The match begins..."

Iwanami Chaos, a rising star in Japanese mixed martial arts, currently competes mainly in Japan and remains undefeated. In another year or two, he will be able to challenge for the championship title.

"This is really troublesome." Yanlang said helplessly, "Suddenly I have to accompany nine other people to play with someone. Is this discrimination against newcomers? They claim to be a champion, but she's just a little girl! I don't care if they choose someone else, but they chose me... Am I just being looked down upon like this?"

"Damn it, Mr. Tokugawa! When I become the champion in the future, I will definitely not easily agree to your request to compete. I will make you kneel down and apologize, and offer me a grand gift!" Iwanami thought to himself, "For now, I'll just play with the girl for a while... Huh? How did the world turn upside down?"

All ten warriors were rising stars or champions in various fighting competitions, and they were all warriors with a certain reputation. It was actually a very humiliating thing for Tokugawa Mitsunari to invite ten of them to fight one of them. There were many people like Iwanami who thought this way.

Originally, with ten against one, and all ten being skilled fighters, if organized properly, it would at least give Hanon some trouble. However, most of them didn't take the beautiful girl in front of them seriously, only complaining about being looked down upon, unaware that the girl was already one of the strongest in the world.

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

So Hanon excitedly launched an attack, and the first to be hit was Iwanami Chaos, who was directly knocked into the air by "Cosmic Illusion", tumbling twice in the air for 720 degrees before falling to the ground.

"Damn it, what was that? It was so fast!" Yes, it was too fast. Before losing consciousness, Yan Langhundun didn't even feel much pain. Before the force of the impact transmitted from his torso to his brain, he was still thinking, "Looks like next time I fight someone, I should try to strike first..."

The last thing Yanlang Hundun saw was two more people flying up and then falling to the ground.

With a single charge, Hua Yin knocked down three people in the blink of an eye! Then, she twisted and threw a punch. The fourth martial artist raised his arm to block, but his defense was easily broken. Hua Yin's fist pressed down on his arm and then slammed into his face, causing him to lose consciousness...

In the blink of an eye, less than a second, four of the ten martial artists fell!

The remaining men, as if waking from a dream, launched an attack on Huayin. In their panic, the group of men no longer cared about showing mercy to Huayin, and for a moment, four of them surrounded Huayin and started beating her wildly.

This scene almost made Hanon shout out excitedly, "Great! This is just the beginning!" There was a scene like this in "Ip Man" where one person takes on ten—it's so satisfying!

The fists of those martial artists had no effect on Hua Yin – she was “indestructible”!

However, Kanon's attack was unusually heavy, causing the four of them to have a disorienting feeling: "What am I fighting? Is it really human? Are you sure it's not a Terminator?"

The four-on-one exchange lasted only three seconds. Amidst the chaotic flurry of punches, one person in front of Huayin was struck in the chest and sent flying; another behind her was elbowed in the forehead and collapsed on the spot. The remaining two were positioned one in front and one behind. Huayin swiftly spun around and swung her arm, her fist first sweeping across the chin of the martial artist to her side, knocking him unconscious. As she turned around, she transformed her fist into a razor-sharp finger, and with a "poof," a fountain of blood gushed out. The person to her side and behind was also rendered unable to fight.

After the loop, Hanon's movements suddenly stopped—the ninth martial artist was taking advantage of the gap in Hanon's turn to cut Hanon's middle lane, so Hanon used her super strong abdominal muscles to stop the momentum, turned around suddenly, and turned to face the enemy head-on with unimaginable speed. She even struck first after being behind, and before the martial artist could hit her with a punch, Hanon's fast punch had already imprinted on his chest.

"Huh?" Hana was taken aback: "She's already fainted?"

Of course! With the center wide open, even a strong person like Kanon or Wakatsuki would have to catch their breath after being hit by Kanon's "Exploding Core" punch. They might even spit out blood. Ordinary fighting experts would be even worse off. Taking an unexpected hit would knock them unconscious.

"How boring." Huayin shook her head: "I was thinking of learning from Ip Man and knocking you down with a set of Wing Chun punches, but it ended with one punch."

She looked at the last powerful attacker who had surrounded her. That person hadn't moved at all, which showed his extraordinary demeanor.

"Huh? You're the final boss, buddy?"

But the martial artist shook his head: "Miss Hanon is joking. I just happened to watch the Kengan Association's final elimination match and know how strong you are... To be honest, I was quite dissatisfied when I was called here to perform a show where ten of us were fighting one against one, but when I saw that it was Miss Hanon, I was only a little scared."

He looked around and saw that his companions who had come out with him were lying on the ground, and one of them had cut his finger with a razor, blood gushing out.

“Nine experts couldn’t even last five seconds against Miss Hanon, and you haven’t even used ‘Valkyrie Mode’ yet… Miss Hanon, you are so powerful!” The martial artist sighed, “I concede.”
