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

"Frankenstein..." Even Yujiro Hanma referred to Kanon by the name of a monster: "Creating time differences to increase the accuracy of her strikes, she learned this fist technique from Ryu Shuwen. Ye Kanon, her potential for growth is really high... That's great!"

Yujiro came to participate in the Grand Tournament, and apart from the battle where he tore off Liu Haiwang's face, he remained quiet and well-behaved, all for the sake of having a good fight with a strong Chinese martial arts master. Originally, his primary target was Guo Haihuang, since Hanon had been criticized by Yujiro for being "too low in purity." However, after seeing Hanon's punch just now, Yujiro put her back on his list of "priority targets."

Inside the arena, Hanon finally spoke: "You're quite resilient. I originally intended to end the fight directly."

“Then you shouldn’t just hit the chin.” Little Ali jumped up.

The expression on the "son of God" also turned serious.

In young Ali's memory, the last person to defeat him was his father, old Ali. When was that? It seemed like a long time ago. But in more formal battles, outside of father-son sparring, he had never been defeated.

Now... he certainly doesn't want to fail!

“Miss Ye, Bravo (That was great! It seems I didn’t wear gloves just to applaud you.” Little Ali said calmly, “But that knockout was your only chance. Thanks to you, I woke up.”

He did indeed applaud for Kanon.

Then, while clapping, Xiao Ali approached Huayin.

When the two get close enough...

"Whoosh!" That was the sound of a fist cutting through the air.

The fist merely sliced ​​through the air.

Kanon attacked again, but missed. Xiao Ali took a tiny, almost imperceptible step back, narrowly avoiding Kanon's attack.

With his head tilted slightly back, a hint of pride returned to Ali's face: "My father, Muhammad Ali, was known for defeating his opponents cleanly and decisively. His dodging skills were unparalleled. In his fight against Foreman, even the strongest puncher in the ring was helpless against him... I have inherited such blood and skills."

"And this is just defense." As Little Ali said this, he launched an attack instead—this was also a use of timing. Perhaps he himself did not realize it, but unknowingly, this Ali II also absorbed excellent martial arts techniques, making his attacks more troublesome.

“That’s exactly how you should be worthy of being Ali’s successor,” Yujiro Hanma praised Ali Jr., then asked Oliva, “Do you know how fast Muhammad Ali’s punches were?”

Oliva blinked: "Anyway, it'll be very, very fast~"

"In 1966, Ali defeated Brian London, a boxer known as the 'Hero,' by throwing seventeen punches in two seconds, none of which missed. Afterwards, calculations based on 8-millisecond video footage showed that Ali's punches only took 0.11 seconds, which is close to the limit of human reaction speed. In other words, it was almost guaranteed to hit."

It hit! This time, it was Ali who hit Kanon's chin.

Ali II is said to have fully inherited his father's techniques, and even further developed and enhanced them. In fact, later boxing champions such as Carlos and Gaolang may not have been slower than Ali, but Ali not only had extremely fast punches, but also astonishing punch weight. He was the best combination of speed, power and technique in boxing history, a feat that even Gaolang could not match. Gaolang used Muay Thai to learn boxing, fusing the two martial arts into his own unique two-handed striking style, while Ali only had boxing, which he honed to its peak and began to move towards a higher level, preparing to evolve something new.

Muhammad Ali Jr. inherited his father's ideals and abilities. Whether he developed the "Muhammad Ali style of martial arts" is still debatable, but his boxing skills are undeniably top-notch.

Uh, wait a minute, "top-notch"?

Is that all?

It might be enough for others, but when it comes to his opponent Kanon, who is a serious and earnest Kanon, it seems that being "top-notch" is still a long way off!

Ali landed a punch that sent Kanon flying, her feet leaving the ground and flipping her over in mid-air. But he didn't feel the impact; it was as if he had hit a small punching bag, which bounced off at the slightest touch.

Before he could fully savor the feeling or form many questions, he felt his body become light. It turned out that the overturned Hana had grabbed his arm and was manipulating the flow of force, causing him to fall to the ground.

There are no grappling techniques in boxing, let alone techniques like Aikido. Little Ali grew up in America and had never experienced the power of "Eastern sorcery," especially since his opponent was Kanon, who could arm-wrestle with Shibukawa Goki! When he was inexplicably knocked to the ground, all he saw when he looked up was a fist.

A seemingly small but overwhelmingly powerful punch that could almost induce hallucinations!

"Ah—" This was a scene straight out of a nightmare! Little Ali screamed, his adrenaline surging, and with all his might, he pressed his limbs to the ground and rolled to the side, dodging Hana's heavy punch.

"Miss Ye is amazing! One second she's manipulating the flow of water, the next she's a mountain pressing down on you. Is this what Eastern martial artists mean by the balance of strength and gentleness?"

After getting up, Xiao Ali felt wet and cold all over. He was quite frightened. As expected of a strong person that even his father admired, Ye Huayin is really difficult to deal with... Hmm?

After feeling "wet and cold," a wave of pain surged up. When Xiao Ali looked down, he realized that what felt "wet and cold" wasn't sweat, but blood that was gradually spreading across his chest. It came from a long and deep wound, as if it had been cut open with a razor, and fresh blood was gushing out.

Author's note: This chapter wasn't very good, sorry. The second update will still be quite late. These past few days have been so hectic!

Section 685, Chapter 678: The Treasure of Chinese Martial Arts

Little Ali looked at his chest and felt all the strength in his body being drained away along with his blood.

"Monster..." Little Ali only had time for that thought to flash through his mind before he was struck by Hanon's heavy punch.

Severely injured and powerless, how could Little Ali possibly escape the "core explosion" blow accelerated by the "Wufang Huanbian"?

Little Ali, spurting blood, flew out and crashed into the wall, cracking the concrete wall slightly. But Hanon's attack did not stop. Before the unconscious Little Ali could even fall down, Hanon had already rushed in front of him—still with a finger razor!

"Ah!" Adam stood up in shock from the stands. His eyes and reactions were naturally faster than Miho and Hitomi's. Kanon's attacks were as swift as lightning and as fierce as flames. Her skill and killing intent were so high that they shocked Adam. The last attack was a cross-shaped razor cut, clearly a killer's move to take a life. When did Kanon become so ruthless?

"Young Miss, what's wrong with you..." After following Shibukawa Goki in his martial arts training, Adam had a deep understanding of the realms of martial arts. He recalled that when the old master Shibukawa explained the psychology of martial artists, he mentioned that some people would fall into the "Path of Asura" after experiencing intense emotional fluctuations, embarking on a path of no return with their hands stained with blood. Adam had seen such martial artists before. The most extreme was that dead man, Meguro Masaki, and the most carefree was that welfare guy, Mutaba. The most ordinary one was just a guy from the Wu clan... The only one who could turn the Path of Asura into a bright and open path was probably Kuroki Gensai. But Adam dared not gamble that the out-of-control Kanon Mirai would be able to control her killing intent like Kuroki.

Adam really didn't want Kanon to change her original appearance, but he was far away in the stands, how could he stop Kanon? Kanon's "razor" slashed down at lightning speed, touching Little Ali's neck... and stopped.

Of course, such a rapid attack couldn't be stopped so easily. Hanon's finger razor instantly changed its move, from slicing to grabbing, and seized Xiao Ali's neck to keep him from falling.

The 1.7-meter-tall Huayin was holding the 1.9-meter-tall Xiao Ali, who was kneeling on the ground, motionless, with blood still gushing from his chest, splattering all over Huayin.

What does Hanon want to do?

She did nothing, quickly confirming that Xiao Ali was truly unable to continue fighting, then gently placed him on the ground and called to the commentary booth, "Please call a doctor."

By the time the on-site doctor rushed over to treat Xiao Ali's injuries, Hanon had already gracefully left the scene.

The audience, bewildered, only witnessed Kanon's swift and unparalleled combo defeating Xiao Ali. Although the scene appeared somewhat bloody, everything happened so quickly, and coupled with Kanon's stunning looks and status as the "King of Martial Arts," the crowd, with a few remaining doubts, offered their congratulations. One person clapped, then two, three, a whole group, and soon applause and cheers resounded throughout the arena. Combined with Kanon's dashing departure and Xiao Ali's bloodied and unconscious state, it evoked a particularly brutal atmosphere reminiscent of an ancient Roman gladiatorial arena… Well, that's one of the very reasons why the Grand Tournament exists, isn't it?

Miho Suoh tugged at Adam's collar: "Um, what were you doing when you stood up?" She saw Adam suddenly stand up and thought he was going to cheer for Kanon, but Adam stood there with a strange expression, which made Miho very curious.

"Ah, it's nothing." Adam scratched his head and sat down, but he wondered to himself, "How did the young lady manage to control herself when she was clearly about to kill someone?"

Because Guo Haihuang actively chose Hanma Yujiro as his opponent, Kanon felt a heavy responsibility and became overly serious. During her fight with Xiao Ali, she went all out, showing no mercy. Adam's intuition was correct; Kanon genuinely harbored murderous intent. If she hadn't changed her tactics, Xiao Ali would have been killed on the spot by the finger razor. The cross-shaped cuts used to bleed him were so effective that they might have left a huge psychological scar on the audience!

However, Kanon controlled herself. She was a good person, a kind person, and deep down she always held the principle of "not killing." At the same time, although she was under tremendous pressure this time, her goal in the battle was always to win, not to kill. Under the combined effect of these two factors, Kanon ultimately chose to restrain and probe her opponent's situation, rather than making a decisive move to kill.

In a sense, this can be considered another "questioning the mind and seeking the truth" that Guo Haihuang created for Huayin!

Emmm, who knows if Guo Haihuang had originally planned for this? But he was very satisfied with Huayin's performance: "Hehehe, the little girl withstood the pressure and did not forget her original intention even when she was extremely anxious. She performed well."

Aside from that, Guo Haihuang wasn't too concerned about Hana's easy victory over Xiao Ali and the strength she displayed.

Is Ali small strong?

Wow, that's impressive!

He might be stronger than Shibukawa Goki and Guji Doppo. It would probably be very difficult for the old martial god and the old martial saint to deal with the top-notch physical qualities and skills of Xiao Ali. They might fall down after taking a single punch, or they might win by relying on the difference in experience and awareness despite the unfavorable power disparity. But in any case, Xiao Ali's strength is beyond doubt, especially after he got up from being knocked down for the first time, he became even more serious.

Even so, Ali still lost to Kanon.

It's not that Ali is weak, it's just that Kanon is too strong.

“She’s wonderful,” said Yujiro Hanma.

"Indeed, it is a treasure of Chinese martial arts!" Guo Haihuang said.

"Whether it's physical attributes, technique, experience, or awareness, he completely overwhelmed Ali II, which led to the easy defeat."

“She is a true powerhouse, able to control her killing intent, unlike you… you are very weak.”

Before Hanon could even look for Guo Haihuang after leaving the arena, Guo Haihuang had already entered the arena in his wheelchair. He wasn't alone; Hanma Yujiro entered the arena at the same time.

The pinnacle of Chinese martial arts, the "Sea Emperor" whose fame has lasted for a century and a half, will face off against the most widely recognized number one in the world, the "Giant Fierce," the "Cannibal," and the "World's Strongest Creature."

Who would have thought that they were actually playing kana on the piano...?

The two even got along very well on this topic and had a strong sense of recognition for Kanon's excellence.

Yujiro Hanma even pushed Guo Haihuang's wheelchair and strolled around the ring—a move that Kanon has been doing recently.

Of course, beneath the seemingly leisurely scene, undercurrents are surging.

"Now that a true master has emerged in Chinese martial arts, and with the new generation surpassing the old, what will you do?"

"Hehehe..." Guo Haihuang chuckled and pushed up his glasses: "The younger generation and new talents have emerged, that's true, but who says the younger generation can really surpass the older generation? Are the new talents really better than the old ones? You... aren't you also my junior? You've already beaten me?"

“I can do it right now,” Yujiro replied, and then the wheelchair flew into the sky.

Author's Note: This is too much! I finished this chapter five minutes early, sob sob sob, it was such a close call...

Section 686, Chapter 679: The Master Has a Deeper Meaning?!

Yujiro Hanma had been pushing Guo Haihuang's wheelchair. After they finished talking, they disagreed and Yujiro kicked him from behind.

The power of a human leg is several times that of an arm, and even Yujiro Hanma is no exception. The ferocity and speed of this kick are truly indescribable; if one had to describe it, it would be extremely fast and ferocious.

However, Guo Haihuang moved his body at the same time as Yujiro started moving. When Yujiro's kick touched the wheelchair, Guo Haihuang was already in mid-air, with only his hands still supporting himself on the wheelchair's armrests. By the time Yujiro lifted the wheelchair into the air, Guo Haihuang had already jumped away, avoiding the attack.

Moreover, the moment Yujiro kicked the wheelchair was also the moment Guo Haihuang's hands left the wheelchair. At that very moment, Guo Haihuang applied a little force to the wheelchair, causing it to "dissipate" the force. Yujiro's unparalleled heavy blow did not even damage the wheelchair!

This was actually the first move in the clash between two top masters. Guo Haihuang deftly deflected Yujiro's attack. So, did Guo Haihuang win the first move?

No, that's not quite right. After all, he was only on the defensive, and all he managed to do was "escape" from Yujiro. Yujiro, who took the initiative in the attack, still controlled the battle.

Just like that wheelchair that wasn't kicked to pieces by Yujiro, it seems safe and sound now, but after being thrown so high, it was destined to be smashed to pieces upon landing.

Emmm, but there's another ending for the wheelchair: it gets caught by someone.

This ending actually happened.

Yujiro Hanma looked up at Gao Fei's wheelchair, not worried about Guo Haihuang taking the opportunity to attack. As the "strongest creature in the world," Yujiro had absolute confidence in himself. No matter who attacked him, whether it was Baki Hanma, Jack Hanma, Hanako, or Guo Haihuang, he could withstand it. Based on this, he had the right to believe in his opponent's martial ethics—anyway, even if his opponent launched a sneak attack, nothing would happen.

Then, as the wheelchair landed, Yujiro reached out and caught it, placed it on the ground, and beckoned to Guo Haihuang again: "Old man, come on."

While Yujiro Hanma was being quite polite, his enigmatic smile and imposing physique made it clear he was issuing a death invitation to Guo Haihuang.

To everyone's surprise, Guo Haihuang readily agreed to Yujiro's request: "Hehe, thanks~"

"Uh, is Guo Haihuang really such a virtuous person..." Hanon had been watching the match from the sidelines since leaving the arena. Her palms and forehead were covered in sweat. She was even more nervous than when she had just fought against Xiao Ali. But seeing the performance of Yujiro and Guo Haihuang, even though she knew things were not going to be easy, she couldn't help but complain.

Sigh, Hana's fierce and emotional display, which she had been building up for so long, crumbled in an instant.

"Although I don't understand it, their battle is already underway." Lie Haiwang walked over. Actually, he had arrived at the sidelines quite some time ago, but Hua Yin still retained the aura of the "Path of Asura," giving off an unapproachable aura. No one dared to approach within three to five meters, not even a powerful figure like Lie Haiwang, who felt uncomfortable and had to let Hua Yin watch the battle alone. Now that he saw Hua Yin's aura had returned to normal, he stood shoulder to shoulder with her: "When masters clash, every move has profound meaning. All we can do is trust Guo Haihuang, no, the victory of Chinese martial arts."

Hanon herself was a top-tier expert; how could she not know that fighting could be done this way? "As far as I can see, they're just faking it... um." Hanon stopped mid-sentence, because she clearly saw that when Guo Haihuang sat back in his wheelchair, he first tapped the armrest with his fingers, using a technique to neutralize force, testing whether Yujiro had any tricks up his sleeve. At the same time, Guo Haihuang's posture was also somewhat strange, his body leaning forward slightly more than normal. This angle allowed him to react quickly to the enemy's movements and escape Yujiro's attack range at any time. Retsu Kaioh was right; at least Guo Haihuang's actions were indeed deliberate.
