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

There was no reply from the other side of the door.

Has Yujiro Hanma just given up like that?

of course not.

"Boom!" A huge sound echoed throughout the backstage area. The alloy door was deformed and flew out, and the wall that held the door in place was covered in cracks, clearly indicating that it had suffered a tremendous impact.

The staff member looked at the iron gate and found that there was not one fist mark, but ten. In other words, Yujiro Hanma had punched the gate ten times in the blink of an eye, but because the speed was too fast, the sound of the ten punches only combined into one loud bang.

What incredible military power!

And the person who just displayed this power...

The staff member's neck was stiffly twisted behind him, a performance straight out of a horror movie.

But what's really funny is that he then wet his pants.

Not only did he pee, but he also cried; and not only did he cry, but saliva and sweat were also flowing freely.

But after a long time, the staff opened their eyes and found that they had not been killed by the "troll". The image of the evil spirit they had just glimpsed seemed to be just a fleeting nightmare in their lives.

"Phew—" He collapsed to the ground, exclaiming, "This is terrifying! Is this the kind of person who goes to watch his son go into battle?"

Of course, Yujiro Hanma was heading to the arena, but before that, he went to the parking lot first.

Perhaps it was the bond between father and son, perhaps it was the mysterious perception of killing intent, or perhaps it was simply the vibration caused by Baki that was transmitted through the building to the secret room and detected by Yujiro. In any case, something in the dark summoned Yujiro here and made him see a scene.

The deserted parking lot was covered in blood, fist prints, footprints, palm prints, and other marks of a battle.

"Heh heh, Baki's had quite a tough fight, huh?" Yujiro grinned. "You've been here simulating battles with the enemy, and that gives you a good idea of ​​how much you've suffered. Besides, I knew you'd win."

"How do you know you're sure you'll win?" Kanon was asking Baki this question.

The quarterfinals had concluded, and all the other fighters had left the ring, leaving only Kanon and Baki, the two about to clash, undergoing inspection by the referee.

In fact, not to mention Kanon, no one understood Baki's words. He had declared his victory long ago, and he didn't even use "I will win" but "I have won," as if the outcome was already decided.

And how did he get his injuries? The overwhelming strength that Ye Hanon displayed is obvious to all. Did Baki go through a tough battle before facing such a powerful enemy?

"This is the result of our fight." Baki left behind only this inexplicable sentence, and didn't say anything more. However, judging from his mental state, he was not as dejected as his battered appearance suggested. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit and ready to have a fierce battle with Kanon.

In short, the first match of the quarterfinals was obviously full of mystery, and naturally attracted the attention of the audience.

"The match begins!" The referee swung his arm after the two players returned to their positions.

Kanon adopted a stance similar to Maebami's—Baki is acting strangely, so she'd better play it safe.

Baki wasn't surprised by this; he seemed to have been prepared. It was his posture that was truly astonishing.

Twisting his body, gathering his strength, preparing to charge—isn't this the stance of Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion"?

"Ah, this... you're really something, Baki." If she hadn't already gotten into a fighting stance, Kanon would have wanted to scratch her head or applaud Baki. Kanon sometimes liked to use this kind of attack that used the opponent's signature move. It had to be said that it was very sarcastic. Kanon was a little annoyed by Baki's actions.

However, Kanon was quite curious about how fast Baki's "Cosmic Illusion" could be.

Just as Kanon wished, Baki has arrived!

It was quite fast, almost as fast as Kanon's original charge. For a moment, Kanon was even a little dazed, as if she saw another version of herself charging towards her... Come to think of it, Baki is 168 cm tall and weighs 76 kg, while Kanon is 171 cm tall and has recently gained weight, reaching 68 kg. The two are in the same weight class, with similar height and weight, so Baki's Cosmic Illusion does indeed resemble Kanon's.

It's rare to see yourself from another perspective in life, so Kanon decided not to dodge and to personally experience the power of Baki's impact.

"Bang!" Hanon retreated. Under the identity of "Yo Hanon", her fighting style was more straightforward. She did not use any force-absorbing techniques, so she also used "Indestructible Vajra" to receive the Baki Charge.

"The impact was also very strong, but unfortunately there wasn't a good reference point, so I don't know exactly how strong it was." Hanon stopped her retreat and readjusted her stance: "I'm a little disappointed, if this is all the cosmic illusion I've ever been at."

Baki's charge is indeed less explosive than Kanon's, but Kanon's original Cosmic Illusion is actually just a rookie killer! It can only be used occasionally for surprise attacks; her real killing move is not this.

Similarly, Baki is not either.

"The opening cosplay show was fantastic, but I look forward to seeing more from you." Kanon beckoned to Baki with her finger: "Come on, champion, let's see how you beat me."

Author's Note: Whew, the last chapter might be a little late, but it will come.

Chapter 556 Chapter 550: Kanon vs. Saba, evenly matched!

Faced with Hanon's provocative hook of her finger, Baki was a little annoyed: "Tch, we're both seventeen, so why do you seem more like a steady senior, Miss Ye? And why should I keep attacking?"

Believe it or not, looking at the way he pouts when he expresses his dissatisfaction, even though he is the champion of the arena and a warrior who has fought for many years, Baki is still a seventeen-year-old boy with the innocent temperament unique to this age.

In comparison, Kanon, who has lived two lives, is much more mature.

"Maybe it's because girls mature earlier?"

Emmm, it seems like Kanon isn't very mature either...

But Kanon seemed more composed. She nodded and said, "Now that you've made the first move, let me make the next one. Watch out!"

"Alright, please go ahead... um!" Before Baki could finish speaking, Kanon was already in front of him.

While the front stance is a stable stance, it's not entirely unusable for offense. As long as the force of the legs pushing off the ground is strong enough, such as when Kanon uses "Explosion Core," a rapid charge is possible.

Kanon's straight punch had been building up momentum long before it was launched, and by the time Kanon appeared in front of Baki, her fist was already close to Baki's head.

Baki quickly turned his head to dodge, but Kanon's fist was halfway through when she suddenly extended her thumb, turning a straight punch into a horizontal sweep, and used her thumb to stab Baki's eyeball.

So Baki tilted his head back again to let Kanon's arm pass.

Following the arm strike was Kanon's kick!

"Bang!" Just by the sound, you could tell it was a very powerful kick. Baki reacted quickly and raised his hand to block the kick, but his body was knocked to the side by the huge impact and he lost his balance.

Then Kanon's fourth attack came. After her kick was blocked, she used the momentum to twist and unleash an elbow strike, hitting Baki's forehead with her elbow. At this moment, Baki's body was tilted to this side, so he was essentially meeting the elbow strike with his temple.

If it hits, it will end the battle immediately!

In the critical moment, Baki also used the momentum he gained from blocking the kick earlier. This momentum allowed Kanon to twist her body and swing an elbow strike. Now, at the last moment, Baki slightly twisted his body, which in turn moved his head, and he barely avoided the elbow strike.

However, Hanon's elbow still grazed Baki's forehead, causing a sharp pain and drawing blood.

In the first round of Kanon's attack, Baki was injured!

But wait, this isn't the end of Kanon's first round.

The first strike is a straight punch, the second is a finger stab, the third is a sweeping kick, the fourth is an elbow sweep, and Hanon has a fifth strike!

That was after both of them had straightened up, when Hanon's mind and energy converged at the same time, and she threw a straight punch.

A karate punch is incredibly powerful and imposing. When the attacker is strong enough, the opponent might even feel as if the punch fills the entire world, leaving them nowhere to hide. That's exactly how Baki's senses are now. In his eyes, this isn't a punch thrown by the beautiful girl, Hanako; it's like Ultraman swinging his fist while fighting a monster! His entire field of vision is filled with the image of this punch.

Moreover, this punch was at the level of "no beat," which Baki saw in his eyes, but his body's natural reaction was emptiness.

It was too late... "Bang!" Baki was sent flying.

"Wow, amazing!" the commentator exclaimed in shock. "Right at the start, Miss Ye showed us an amazing scene. Her attack was so fast that she sent Baki flying four meters, no, five meters away in less than a second! We even had to use slow motion replay to see what happened."

Of course, the spectators don't need the replay.

Somewhat surprisingly, Shibukawa Goki approached Retsu Kaioh, a complete stranger, and said in a rather familiar tone, "Hey, friend from China, is this girl's technique also Chinese martial arts? I see Muay Thai elbows and Japanese karate punches in my eyes~"

Well, actually, these two people do have some connection. They both know Kanon, and they can chat about anything related to Kanon.

"This is of course Chinese martial arts," Lie Haiwang said decisively. "Chinese martial arts have a history of four thousand years, encompassing everything and containing all kinds of wonders. We have already gone through the routines of other martial arts thousands of years ago. These movements are nothing new! Besides, Ye Huayin is a recognized Sea King by the Chinese Martial Arts Province. No matter what techniques she uses, they all belong to the category of Chinese martial arts!"

Having observed backstage all night, Mr. Shibukawa was well-prepared for Retsu Kaioh's strong speaking style. Upon hearing this, he did not refute it, but simply clapped his hands and said, "Chinese martial arts are indeed great, but in my opinion, that brat Baki won't give up easily."

Baki had already stood up, but of course, Kanon's straight punch was no easy feat, and Baki's injuries were even more severe.

"Wow, that's impressive. It seems I was too overconfident to let you attack." Baki didn't say this aloud; he needed to take a few quick breaths to prepare for the upcoming battle.

Because Kanon didn't waste any more words, she had already caught up with Baki!

"Miss Ye, you're really strict~" This time, Baki said it out loud, which meant that he had adjusted his breathing in an instant, and his movements were much more agile. In addition, this time, Kanon did not have the advantage of surprise attack, and Baki was prepared for her speed. The two exchanged several moves, but Kanon did not gain the upper hand.

Hanon possesses exceptional martial arts talent, and is also skilled in martial arts. She is adept at using her skills and has a unique ability to overcome obstacles.

However, Baki Hanma also has the bloodline of the strongest creature. He has been obsessed with fighting since childhood and has trained hard to challenge his father. He has also experienced a lot of battles. In terms of countering moves, he is probably on par with Kanon. They are technically evenly matched, but Baki has more experience, while Kanon's opponents are more formidable.

"Look! Our champion Baki and the queen of the underworld, Hanako, are locked in a fierce battle, it's impossible to tell who's better!" The commentator slammed his fist on the table: "This is the most exciting battle of the tournament so far!"

Tonight's tournament featured many exciting battles, but only two matches truly stood out in terms of strategic exchanges: Baki vs. Zur and Joaquin vs. Mushin. However, even these two exchanges weren't as thrilling as the evenly matched battle between Kanon and Baki.

Despite having faced numerous powerful opponents, Kanon has encountered very few rivals with Baki's style. Both are polymaths proficient in various fighting styles, both are around 170cm+70kg, and their counter-attack techniques are remarkably similar—they're practically a match made in heaven! It seems only Tokita Ohma comes close…

"Could this be the legendary protagonist template?" Hanon couldn't help but think. "But whether it's the protagonist template or not, I'm having a lot of fun playing it."

Everything has an end, and even a thousand-mile journey must eventually come to a parting. So this pleasant exchange lasted for about half a minute before the outcome was finally revealed.

Was Baki superior? Amidst the feints and counters, he seized Kanon's weakness and delivered a powerful sweeping kick to Kanon's ribs!

But instead of falling down or flying away as expected, Kanon threw a punch at the same time, smashing it into Baki's face!

With a hundred kinds of martial arts skills, this is called "Ghostly Strike"!

"I'm going to beat up the protagonist template!"

Section 557, Chapter 551: You are Ren Xiaohu? Meguro Fang?

Baki flew a great distance, farther than his previous straight punch, and lay on the ground for an extra second.

The gladiator champion quickly got back up, full of energy, and after a little adjustment of his breathing, he got back into his fighting stance.

"Strange." Hanon looked at her hand. It clearly felt like she had hit him hard, and Baki had indeed flown out, so why was the effect so limited? Could it be that Baki's kick was too weak, so that Kisame's counterattack was not powerful enough?

"Hehe, Miss Ye is also Chinese, and a sea king too~ So you must be very proud of that four thousand years of martial arts history, right?" Baki was still laughing: "But I have to say, some realms cannot be reached in just four thousand years!"

Baki's mouth and nose were bleeding. He reached out and wiped them, then casually touched his ear, twisted it hard, and his spirits lifted, and his condition improved by three points.

"Huh? This is... brain anesthetic?" Although Hanon wasn't very accurate, she could still discern some clues based on the martial artists she had seen in the past.

The spectator, Lie Haiwang, understood much better: "Hmph, trying to be clever. He's numbing all his nerves to greatly reduce his pain... How naive! When physical pain exceeds the limit, it will in turn stimulate the body's hormone levels, eliminating pain and even producing a sense of ecstasy. I've heard that Western medicine has confirmed this in recent years. In the realm of ancient Chinese martial arts, this technique is called 'restoration.' Since ancient times, the goal of highly skilled martial artists has been to keep their bodies in a state of restoration at all times."

"Hey, so this is another victory for your four thousand years of Chinese martial arts?" Shibukawa Takeo, standing next to Retsukai-oh, raised his eyebrows.
