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

In fact, Kanon doesn't need to use overwhelming attack power against Baki now. Her opponent is already covered in wounds, so she just needs to create more wounds steadily and efficiently.

In the blink of an eye, the appearance of the Rakshasa Palm disrupted Baki's prediction of Hanon's moves, and his slight advantage in parrying the attack suddenly turned into a major disadvantage.

“Baki…” Tokugawa Mitsunari in the stands was very anxious as he watched Baki in dire straits. Although the match was exciting, Baki was a fighter he had trained for many years, and it was hard for him to accept.

It felt like being grabbed by an invisible hand... Hmm? Wait a minute, Tokugawa Mitsunari suddenly felt that his bald head was indeed being covered by a large hand.

"Old man Guang, what a mess you've made!"

“That voice…” Tokugawa Mitsunari shuddered: “Yujiro!”

Before anyone knew it, this super strongman, who possessed many terrifying titles such as "the world's strongest creature," "the most ferocious," "the troll," and "the demon," had stood behind Tokugawa Mitsunari, with one hand on the old man's head.

The staff and audience around Yujiro Hanma were filled with fear and dared not make a sound, which is why Yujiro walked all the way to the front of the audience without being noticed by Tokugawa.

"You dare... to let that brat Baki fight a woman!"

Now Yujiro is stroking Tokugawa Mitsunari's bald head, which could burst open like a watermelon with just a little force... but he doesn't.

Yujiro removed the hand and sat down next to Tokugawa. There was someone there before, but with just one look from Yujiro, that person hurriedly gave up the seat, stopped watching the game, and ran to the toilet to cry.

Tokugawa touched the top of his head again; it was still warm from Yujiro's touch.

Since his head is still intact, it means Yujiro has accepted the situation of Baki and Kanon's duel and isn't as angry as he claims. The only reason the "Great Fiend" can accept this reality is...

"Yujiro, how long have you been here?"

When "Ye Hanon" made her public debut, taking on ten opponents and slaying a giant python, Yujiro Hanma had already been sent backstage to sleep by Nobi's gun. Therefore, Yujiro must have already seen Hanon's battle with Baki and understood her strength, which is why he didn't interfere and cause trouble.

“Less than two minutes, from the moment that brat Baki was tricked into falling over by air,” Yujiro answered honestly.

"Oh~" Then Tokugawa became quite animated: "How about it? Isn't the Hakone I recruited pretty good?"

“…Indeed.” Yujiro surprisingly admitted it!

He added, "Although it was just playing around with that brat Baki, for a woman, she is already the best in the world. I never thought a woman could be this strong."

Yujiro was also interested in Kanon, but his thoughts drifted a bit: "A woman like that is bound to give birth to the most outstanding children. Did Baki bring a female classmate over tonight? Hmm, so Jack..."

Well, Yujiro isn't a DNA-obsessed procreation fanatic like the Wu clan; at least he didn't think about it himself...

Tokugawa Mitsunari was puzzled: "Yujiro, you don't seem to care at all about the outcome of Baki's battle?"

"Hmph, hmph, hahahaha—" Yujiro burst into laughter, and his laughter even caught the attention of Baki and Kanon, who were fiercely fighting in the arena.

"Ah, Yujiro!" Baki was momentarily stunned, and was then grazed by Kanon's Rasetsu Palm, making the already unfavorable situation even more chaotic.

Yujiro spat, "What a childish brat, getting distracted by something like this... But you'll still win this match."

Sitting next to him, Tokugawa Mitsunari was even more confused: "What... how do you say that? Baki was clearly at a disadvantage!"

"You'll see soon enough—" Yujiro said, leaving the matter at that. When Tokugawa asked again, he only smiled and did not answer.

So Tokugawa Mitsunari had no choice but to witness, together with Yujiro, Baki... being defeated?!

Kanon possesses the "no-beat" technique, a martial arts realm that subtly influences all of her movements. She can initiate attacks without preparatory steps, meaning her attacks are fluid and unpredictable, extremely difficult to defend against, and virtually the bane of any form of anticipation. Baki's ability to hold his own against Kanon stems from two factors: first, he had undergone "imaginary practice," familiarizing himself with Kanon's fighting style beforehand; second, Baki is a top-tier fighter with exceptional reaction speed, counter-attack skills, and anticipation abilities. This combination allows him to even slightly suppress Kanon.

But now, Kanon has added the Rakshasa Palm, a move she hadn't seen in her "imaginary practice," making her attack options more complex. At the same time, in addition to using "no beat," she also uses "Thousand-Faced Goddess," which is her unique technique of manipulating muscles and constantly adjusting the rhythm of her movements. So, in fact, there is another "trump card" that Baki's "imaginary practice" didn't consider, besides the Rakshasa Palm!

Besides these two aspects, the injuries Baki himself suffered were also a factor, weakening his body and making him impatient, leading to mistakes in his haste.

Finally, with Yujiro's appearance and Baki's distraction, the balance between offense and defense was completely disrupted.

Baki began to suffer continuous injuries and retreated. Kanon swung her right arm and unleashed a powerful Rakshasa Palm strike, deflecting Baki's left arm. Immediately afterward, her left-hand "Demon Spear" thrust out, aiming straight for Baki's chest! Baki tried to block with his right hand, but found that Kanon's attack speed was much faster than before. Exhausted, he could no longer keep up with his opponent's pace and was a beat too slow. Kanon's piercing hand pierced half an inch into his chest, and blood spurted out!

Baki panicked. The damage from that "demon spear" was already considerable, but the blow to his mentality was even greater—he was already covered in wounds, exhausted, and bleeding profusely from multiple wounds. His "imaginary practice" had also run into his opponent's trump card, and now he had even lost the parry...

With his consciousness fading, Baki essentially gave up resisting, and his body was met with a barrage of straight punches from Kanon...

"It's over." This was everyone's thought. Things had come to this, and the title of gladiator champion was going to change hands—except for one person.

Yujiro Hanma smiled and said, "Good boy, get up!"

Baki Hanma, after all, has the blood of the demon Yujiro Hanma flowing through his veins!

Author's Note: The next chapter is at 23 PM.

Section 560, Chapter 554: Ghost's Back

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted in the arena, like a car hitting a pedestrian, a tank firing a shell, or a supersonic plane breaking the sound barrier—it was Baki! He had broken his own "sound barrier"! While enduring a barrage of straight punches from Kanon, he suddenly retaliated with a punch that was incredibly fast and powerful, hitting Kanon directly in the head and sending her flying.

"what--"

The audience gasped in shock. Kanon seemed to have the upper hand, but Baki pulled off an incredible comeback. As Kanon flew through the air and crashed into the railing, most people's first reaction would be, "Is she dead?"

That was indeed a punch capable of killing...

Baki Hanma is seventeen years old now and will soon be eighteen, an adult. He inherits the blood of his father, Yujiro Hanma, his grandfather, Yuichiro Hanma, and even earlier ancestors—the blood of the ferocious, powerful, and special Hanma.

The blood of a demon will not awaken for mortals. Baki has weathered many storms. Over the years, he has fought against hundreds of delinquents, top-tier boxers, elite soldiers, gangster fighting geniuses, the ferocious beast Yasha Ape, and even wrestling giant Taizan Touyu, fighting doctor Kouyou, and the barbarian Zeru...

But none of these are enough.

"I thought that martial arts master from China, with the stimulation of the essence of four thousand years of martial arts, would be enough to awaken Baki's bloodline. I didn't expect that before they met, Baki would be awakened by a woman." Yujiro Hanma laughed out loud: "Now, 'kid,' let's see how you perform."

Tokugawa Mitsunari stared at Yujiro in surprise, speechless. He suddenly realized that Yujiro's arrival might have been premeditated, as he had anticipated witnessing Baki's awakening.

Considering his previous behavior of using Yuuto Tenn to teach Baki not to be too naive... could it be that Yujiro Hanma is actually a good father?

Yujiro, you're so gentle!

The other people on the field didn't think as deeply as Tokugawa Mitsunari; they only saw what was in front of them.

They saw a "ghost," or more precisely, a "ghost face."

To be more precise, those were the muscles on Baki Hanma's back, which, after swelling to an extreme degree, revealed a shape resembling a demon face.

This is a sign of Yujiro Hanma going all out, but the "demon face" of the "world's strongest creature" is even more terrifying. It is usually hidden and does not show itself, but once it "opens its face", it will kill you with one blow. Almost no one can survive it.

“Baki…” Doppo felt a chill. He was the one who survived Yujiro Hanma’s “Oni-Kake” attack. His heart stopped and he almost died. If it weren’t for Dr. Kouyou’s presence, he would have been in a life-or-death situation.

The old martial god was not alone. He was accompanied by the "Martial Saint" Shibukawa Takeki, the proud Retsukai-oh who was proud of four thousand years of Chinese martial arts, and the magnificent underworld fighting genius Hanayama Kaoru... All the martial artists present felt a different aura from Baki. It was the temperament of a boy next door, which was different from others. It was arrogant, domineering, and cold, just like Hanma Yujiro.

After Baki knocked Kanon away, he did not immediately pursue her, but simply stood there with a cold and arrogant expression.

He was seriously injured before, is he recovering now? It doesn't seem like it. Under the influence of his extremely developed back muscles, all of Baki's muscles are swollen, almost covering the wound in front of him, greatly reducing the amount of bleeding. As for those bruises that didn't bleed... no one thinks they still have any effect on Baki.

“Arrogant brat.” No one knows a son better than his father, and Yujiro understood Baki’s thoughts: “He’s waiting for that woman to stand up before he kills her. How arrogant… Hmph, after all, he inherited my bloodline, so this is only to be expected.”

As for Kanon's elders, Takakaze Kirito stood up as soon as Kanon was thrown by the punch; he was heartbroken.

"Oh no, quick, Ito, I need to activate the final contingency plan—"

Kirito said a few words, but noticed that the rest of his friends and family didn't seem too anxious. The only one with a similar expression to him was the little girl, Hitomi Mishima... Didn't this make Kirito seem like he was making a mountain out of a molehill?

“Um, Uncle Takakaze,” Mihoyo comforted, “you have to trust Kanon. She’s been through much more dangerous situations.”

As Kanon's lover, Miho knows Kanon better than anyone else. Even though she doesn't understand fighting techniques, she has seen too many of Kanon's battles and inexplicably feels that this one is not so critical.

As for Garuda, she simply believes that the girl she admires, Kanon, is the strongest!

Hanon did not disappoint them. Although it took her a while and she was still a little unsteady, she managed to stand up.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You have an even more advanced weapon." Kanon covered her face. Because she had been knocked to the sidelines, she could hear the conversations of the nearby audience. Lying on the ground, she realized that it was Baki's back muscles that were changing.

The muscles of the spine are the most important muscle group in the human body. They can drive the movement of the entire muscle group, thereby greatly strengthening all parts and enhancing the combat power of a martial artist.

"As expected, you always remind me of Tokita Ohma. People like you would definitely be the main characters in anime." Hanon lowered her hand. If an observer had good eyesight, they would notice that she didn't have a black eye or a flat nose from the heavy punch. There was only a faint mark on her face. While she was lying on the ground and covering her face with her hand, Hanon had already eliminated the bruises from the blow by accelerating her blood circulation.

However, the time to observe Kanon's face was too short. As soon as Kanon got up, Baki launched an attack. In almost an instant, he appeared in front of Kanon. With the "Demon Back" buff, Baki's physical strength was greatly enhanced.

"Bang!" Baki threw a punch, and Kanon barely managed to raise her hand to defend, but she was knocked off the ground and flew far away. She and Baki were originally of similar weight and strength, and neither of them had the upper hand in terms of physical strength when exchanging blows, but now there was a huge difference in strength.

Before Kanon could land, Baki caught up and delivered another kick. The immense force nearly broke through her defenses, sending Kanon flying in another direction.

Baki launched a relentless attack, while Kanon was sent flying like a ball, being hit by Baki's blows. She could barely defend against most of the attacks, but some of them actually hit her.

"Hey! Stop hitting her!" The female audience member who couldn't bear it was already crying. Baki's offensive was too cruel. He was just toying with Kanon. People were starting to think that Kanon had already lost. It was just that Baki wouldn't let her stop. He was playing with her like a human bouncy ball.

In fact, the strength that Baki has demonstrated is so great that even other martial artists have similar thoughts.

"Damn it... Ye Haiwang, I will definitely avenge you..." Lie Haiwang clenched his fists. Although Baki's performance after opening "Demon Back" was terrifying, Lie Haiwang's righteousness and fighting spirit were burning.

Honbu Izō was sweating profusely. His vast experience and knowledge gave him a keen understanding of the terrifying power of the Hanma bloodline: "After the 'demon,' a new 'little devil' has begun to follow in his father's footsteps… Ye Hanane, what a pity, she was also an incredibly strong martial artist! I still remember our first encounter… oh, right, back then she wasn't…"

Originally, Izou only had cold sweat on his head, but suddenly his entire back was soaked in cold sweat.

He remembered that when they first met, he and Kanon had practiced "super combat" in a half-joking, half-sparring manner. At that time, Kanon also clearly had a heart-stopping "transformation"...

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang erupted in the arena, like a car hitting a pedestrian, a tank firing a shell, or a supersonic plane breaking the sound barrier—except this time it was Kanon who made the move.

A tremendous heartbeat filled the arena. Hanon's skin began to darken, her eyes gradually turned red, and the outline of the veins on her exposed skin became more distinct.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate..." Hua Yin said, "I also have 'heretical' things."

Author's Note: Waaaaah, I'm so sorry I didn't finish writing this scene today. As you can see from the situation, Baki will be defeated in the next chapter. Tomorrow, we'll definitely settle our scores and avenge our wrongs...

Section 561, Chapter 555: The Self-Cultivation of a Cheater

"What's going on? What's going on? Baki was clearly dominating Hanane, how did he suddenly fly away?"

"I think I've seen this before, just now."

"No, Baki!"

"Despite being beaten so mercilessly, Ye Huayin didn't seem to suffer any obvious injuries. Fighters are all monsters..."
