"Trying to be clever!" King Liehai concluded about Dou Yu's fighting style: "Your fighting method is commonplace in the four-thousand-year history of Chinese martial arts. You think you can use it to launch a surprise attack on me? Dream on!"
"There are still a dozen seconds left in the minute. So, do you want to continue?"
The majestic Sea King stared intently at Mount Tai Dou Yu. This was the "residual heart" of a martial artist. It didn't mean that he had to finish off the enemy with a fatal blow, but rather that he was always ready to deal with any move the enemy made, even if he didn't launch an attack. Dou Yu, who was being guarded against like this, immediately realized that there was no hope for him to continue.
"I'm not playing anymore... I give up."
"...Hahaha, I lost to you in judgment too!" Inori shook his head, realizing that Kanon had predicted the outcome of the competition more accurately. Inori wanted to say a few more words to Kanon, but then noticed that Kanon had already started walking deeper backstage: "Eh? Little Kanon, where are you going?"
Hanon needs to change her outfit. Even if we ignore the fact that Joaquin's match is coming up soon, and it's the next match between Kaoru Hanayama and Katsumi Guji, it'll be more convenient for Joaquin to go cheer for Hanayama, right?
Author's Note: These last couple of chapters feel a bit rushed. That's how tournaments are; the round of 32 and round of 16 drag on a bit, but the stronger players appear more frequently as the competition progresses, since there are fewer players left.
The effects of staying up late for three consecutive days were still there; I fell asleep leaning against the chair in the afternoon because I was so tired.
Section 539, Chapter 533: Joaquin the Little Giant~
In a secluded room in the basement of Tokyo Dome, two beautiful girls, their manner intimate, had just shared a kiss. As their lips parted, a few strands of saliva clung to their lips—a truly stimulating scene…
After they finished kissing, one of the girls tugged hard on the straps of her lover's clothes—not to loosen them, but to tighten them: "Kanon, it's all done!"
Hmm, the girls in the room are Kanon and Miho, and this time it's her turn to help Kanon change her clothes.
"Ugh, it's so tight." Everything else about Joaquin's outfit was easy to handle, but the chest still had to be bound. Miho was too rough, and Kanon was having trouble breathing.
But she deserved it; who told her to keep mentioning Garuda to Miho before the kiss...?
"I was really worried when I made my appearance just now. Garuda is so much shorter than me, but thankfully I didn't give myself away. This outfit actually makes me look taller. If I followed Garuda's height-increasing method, I'd be 171cm, plus 3cm with platform shoes, another 3cm with insoles, and another 1cm with padding in my socks, making me 178cm. And if my frizzy wig sticks up, let's say 20cm. If I'm already 198cm and I exaggerate by another 2cm, I'd be a two-meter-tall little giant!"
Then Kanon was gagged by Miho, who also strangled her breasts.
Of course, this was just playful banter between lovers, nothing more than a joke, and the two left the room in a harmonious atmosphere.
Huayin came prepared this time, having prepared several outfits for "Huajin". She was now wearing an extra thick trench coat, influenced by Uncle Douyu's outfit earlier, to give it a more contemporary feel.
"Come here, Miho, I'll spread my wings and protect you~" Kanon beckoned Miho to hide under her trench coat, and the two of them started an impromptu performance like in "Shanghai Bund".
After playing around for a while, Mihono threw herself into Hanon's arms, and the two leaned against the wall, enjoying this tender moment.
But everything has its limits. A man looking for a restroom passed by and saw a young couple playing around. One of them was Joaquin, one of the outstanding contestants, and he couldn't help but take a second look.
"Ahem." The passerby coughed twice, and as a reminder, Hanon and Miho also awkwardly let go of each other's hands and stopped playing around.
To ease the awkwardness, Miho pointed to the screen in the hallway: "Look, the match has already started."
"Ah, really." Kanon originally wanted to go cheer for Hanayama after changing her clothes, but after being intimate with Mieko for a while, the battle between Hanayama and Katsumi had already begun.
This doesn't mean Kanon is "inhuman when it comes to the opposite sex," Mieko is her "same sex"...
Hanayama's entrance was simple, as always: he drank heavily and strode forward, clenching his fists as if that was his warm-up. On the contrary, his opponent, Katsumi Guji, the young master of the Shinshinkai, continued to display his frivolous personality, making his entrance ceremony quite flamboyant.
Then, the disciples of the Divine Heart Society came onto the stage and laid out a path with paper. A roll of Xuan paper was laid from the entrance passage at the White Tiger position all the way to the entrance passage at the Black Tortoise position, until it reached Huashan Xun.
Then they sprinkled water on the paper, soaking it, and the thin paper became soft and transparent after being wetted.
To everyone's astonishment, Yuji Katsumi stepped onto the wet paper and entered the arena.
"Hey, Japan has such skilled fighters too." In the lounge, Retsu Kaioh, who had just returned from the match, smiled knowingly.
"As expected of the young master, he's really amazing..." Kato Kiyosumi also praised Baki.
Adam asked Shibukawa Takeki, "Teacher, what is this? Is it a magic show? Can you do it?"
Shibukawa chuckled, "I suppose so... but I only weigh 47 kilograms, while Katsumi Guji weighs 116 kilograms! Doppo really has a good son!"
Katsumi Yuji was indeed very impressive. At 116 kilograms, he not only walked on the wet paper but also adopted a karate stance, throwing punches, kicks, spinning, and jumping, making many large-scale movements as he moved from one end of the arena to the other, all the way to Hanayama, without breaking even an inch of the wet paper.
Finally, Katsumi's straight punch stopped in front of Hanayama. The two did not speak, but their eyes met, letting the tense atmosphere spread.
The warriors remained silent, while the spectators reveled. Katsumi Guji's flamboyant yet dazzling entrance ignited the atmosphere of the arena. The commentator slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed, "Amazing! Amazing! This is an incredible dream match! A street brawl master versus a top karate expert! Kaoru Hanayama versus Katsumi Guji, violence versus strength! The anticipation surrounding this battle has exceeded everyone's expectations!"
"Tch, Kanon, didn't you beat that Hanayama? You're clearly stronger, this commentator is really exaggerating!" Miho hugged Kanon, though in her heart her lover was definitely stronger.
Seeing the intense atmosphere in the arena, Miho couldn't help but ask, "Who do you think will win?"
In fact, Hanon had been thinking about this question as well. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Both of them are remarkable strongmen, and from what I've observed, they are evenly matched. If I had to make a bet, I would choose Katsumi.
"Huh? Isn't Hanayama your friend? I thought you would choose him."
"Hanayama also had a chance to win, but he has a unique way of thinking. He follows chivalry rather than martial arts and hasn't systematically studied fighting techniques. Although this doesn't affect his strength, his fighting style is unoriginal. It's based on his superhuman physical abilities, with straightforward punches and kicks. He doesn't have any trump cards or secret techniques. Katsumi Guji is the complete opposite. He has an flamboyant personality, and whether he takes it seriously or not greatly affects his fighting ability. But karate has a history of several hundred years, and the Shinshin-kai is Japan's top karate organization. 'Martial God' Guji Doppo must have passed down some special techniques..."
In conclusion, Kanon said, "So both of them have a chance. Hanayama's performance is more stable, while Guji Katsumi's potential is higher. If the battle drags on, Guji Katsumi will get stronger and stronger, and his chances of winning will increase."
"Wow~ Kanon, you're absolutely right~" Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and right now Miho's eyes are full of stars: "Anyway, no matter who's stronger or weaker, they're no match for you!"
While the two girls were getting tired of each other, the competition had already begun on the field.
With the sound of a gong, Kaoru Hanayama suddenly leaped up, his massive body performing a front flip in mid-air before kicking Katsumi Goji!
Good heavens, how could a peerless warrior like Kaoru Hanayama, with such a physique, perform such a move?
What's even more terrifying is the immense kinetic energy generated by his enormous weight after he actually completes the movement...
Katsumi was hit; he was sent flying, tumbling all the way before crashing into the fence and coming to a stop.
"Wow, that's way too fast!"
Author's Note: There will be one more chapter at 23 PM.
When Kanon and Miho were playfully fighting, I remember there was a picture in City Hunter of Kaori completely hidden under Ryo's trench coat, but I can't find it right now. Anyway, that's the feeling.
Section 540, Chapter 534: Martial Artist vs. Giant Monster
Kaoru Hanayama would actually attack like that? Everyone was shocked, including Kanon: "I just said he didn't have any fancy tricks, and then he came up with a new one. Kaoru-nii, you're something else."
That kick from Hanayama... well, anyway, Katsumi Gochi is in pretty bad shape.
His exceptional physique granted him a high level of resilience; Katsumi had not lost consciousness, but he was unable to get up for a short period of time.
His cheekbone was cracked, and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose. The whole world seemed crooked to him, and he couldn't stop feeling dizzy. Meanwhile, Kaoru Hanayama was right next to him, ready to attack at any moment. This feeling of being threatened forced Katsumi Guji to try to get up, but he couldn't. He fell down halfway up, looking utterly pathetic.
Strangely, Kaoru Hanayama did not give chase. Instead, she stood quietly beside Katsumi, watching him struggle to his feet, lean against the fence to rest, and gradually regain consciousness.
“Ha, ha, ha ha ha…” Katsumi laughed as his mind started working again: “Are you bragging about your strength? It’s like when delinquents are fighting, they also have the idea of completely sinking the other party, so they will keep waiting until the other party completely gives up the will to get up.”
Katsumi finally managed to stand up straight.
"What disgusting fighting aesthetics! Compared to your chivalrous ideals, your martial arts are quite despicable."
This genius who wanted to "complete karate" got back into position and was really serious: "No matter what, if you don't pursue, you've already lost your best chance of victory."
Really?
Seeing that Katsumi was ready, Hanayama also began to prepare to attack. He turned his body to gather strength for his fist, his stance similar to Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion".
However, compared to the Cosmic Phantom, which focuses more on speed, Huashan's accumulated power is far more terrifying.
His massive body and intense killing intent almost distorted the air around him!
Yuji Katsumi was confused again. He didn't know why Hanayama was building up his strength with so many flaws. Was he planning something?
He hesitated for a second, and when the giant fist of the Flower Mountain struck, Katsumi realized he had overthought things—it was just an ordinary, deadly punch.
Katsumi managed to block, but Hanayama's fist, along with his blocking hand, slammed into his face.
Katsumi retreated, and Hanayama pursued him. A second punch came, and Katsumi raised one hand and one foot to block at the same time—but it was still no use. Because he had already suffered a serious injury, Katsumi's result was only slightly better than that of Inashiro Fuminobu in the previous round. His hands and feet were not broken, but his defense was still broken.
Katsumi knelt down, but the wind wouldn't stop even if the tree wanted to be still; Hanayama had a third punch coming! Grabbing Katsumi's hair, Hanayama pulled him up and struck Katsumi in the abdomen again.
This time, Keji... vomited.
It's really tough on him. Under such circumstances, Katsumi managed to dodge the kick after Hanayama's three punches. He looked disheveled and embarrassed, but he wasn't completely defeated.
"What, what is this? Is this the man who is going to complete karate?" Boos started coming from the stands. Katsumi Goji had been so arrogant, how come he was being beaten so badly by Hanayama?
Hanayama's pursuit continues, his punches and kicks are ordinary, lacking in technique, but possessing superior power and speed, making them extremely fierce. Katsumi can only use grappling and restraint to limit Hanayama's punching range and power. This strategy is quite successful because Katsumi also has a remarkable physique; as Hanayama's offensive power diminishes, his pressure on him gradually weakens.
In the end, Katsumi even grabbed Hanayama's arm and threw him off.
After escaping, Katsumi did not launch another attack, but instead fled far away—he needed to rest.
Blood was still gushing from Keji's mouth, mixed with vomit and various other bodily fluids. He looked utterly exhausted and unrecognizable.
This sight provoked the audience, and just as the fighting subsided, the boos from the audience began to turn into insults.
"Whoosh—whoosh—let the enemy see the coward behind him!"
"What kind of karate master is this? Disembowel yourself as an apology!"
"Son of the God of War? Bah!"
These words were hurtful, and the father and son of the Yu family heard them. Doppo remained expressionless, even wanting to laugh a little, while Katsumi, though feeling bad, persisted in his "original intention".
"Ten seconds, just give me ten more seconds, and I can adjust my breathing and launch a counterattack."
Kaoru Hanayama's strength exceeded expectations, but Katsumi Gokuchi was no pushover either! He was simply too arrogant and underestimating his opponent, just as Kanon had predicted, allowing Hanayama to gain the upper hand and disrupt his rhythm. In a battle between masters, this is the most fatal mistake.
Honestly, Hanayama wasted the best opportunity to win by not finishing off the enemy earlier. As expected, Katsumi's counterattack came as soon as ten seconds passed!
Having regained his composure, Katsumi kicked a soccer ball, striking Hanayama in the lower abdomen. He then followed up with a series of kicks, moving from the lower abdomen to the upper abdomen, then to the heart and chin, before finally delivering a powerful elbow strike to Hanayama's face. All these actions were completed in a single second. The audience only heard the "crackling" sounds, and by the time they came to their senses, Hanayama was already lying on the ground, his face covered in blood.
"W-W-Wuji Katsumi is amazing!"
"Karate was perfected by him!"
"The successor to the God of War! The successor to the God of War!"
