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

On the Chinese martial arts side, Long Shuwen was seriously injured, leaving only Huayin and Lie Haiwang to watch the battle. On the foreign martial arts side, Xiao Ali was also seriously injured, leaving only Ji Haiwang and Oliva to watch the battle.

"Our Paolin Temple boxing style originated in China. The founder of the ancestral hall once told a story from the Republican era. There was a martial artist named Ip Man, who was Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do master and a grandmaster of Chinese martial arts." Ji Haiwang sighed, "When Master Ip was young, he sparred with a highly respected senior in the martial arts world. The senior handed Ip Man a piece of pastry and asked him to break it open. That was their duel. Ip Man changed his footwork and hand gestures several times before finally breaking the pastry and winning... It seems that we will witness such a duel today!"

Jikai-oh was quite excited, feeling as if he were witnessing a new legend, much like Retsu-oh. Unfortunately, his audience was not Hanon, who could see through Guo Haihuang's deeper meaning, but rather the "unromantic" super-physical fighter Oliva.

Oliva couldn't comprehend the mysteries of martial arts; he was merely a confidant of Yujiro Hanma: "Mr. Saku, I didn't see any pastries in Yujiro Hanma's hand."

That's right, what Yujiro Hanma is holding isn't pastries, but a wheelchair. If he's going to make a move, it will be a wild destruction, a complete annihilation. Whether it's pastries, a wheelchair, or Guo Haihuang's body, he'll destroy them all. If one punch isn't enough, he'll use two, three, four punches... until everything is gone!

However, Yujiro gestured for Guo Haihuang to sit back in his wheelchair, wanting to say a few more words: "Guo Haihuang, what have you given up and what have you gained to get to where you are today? Money, friends, women, delicacies, and peace... Answer me."

Standing in the positions of Yujiro and Guo Haihuang, overlooking the world and invincible, when they met, they could talk about their past lives, discuss the current battle situation, and talk about their future dreams. Obviously, there was too much to say. However, Guo Haihuang raised his head slightly, looked around the arena, and finally shook his head almost imperceptibly: "That's enough... I have nothing to say."

"Guo Haihuang, a super strongman who has dominated the Chinese martial arts world for over a hundred years, actually has nothing to say when facing me, Hanma Yujiro?" Yujiro raised his hand and easily held Guo Haihuang and his wheelchair in mid-air: "Have you become so old? Indeed, it's better for me to end you here."

As he spoke, Yujiro raised his hands and clapped his palms together.

This action is very simple, and everyone can do it. There are no variations or hidden techniques in the martial arts. It's just that Yujiro Hanma claps his hands in front of him. As Oliva said, there is no profound meaning or dessert involved. Yujiro Hanma asked Guo Haihuang a question, but the other party did not answer directly, which made him very unhappy. So, in a fit of rage, the "giant fierce" wanted to destroy something, so he clapped his hands.

Then Guo Haihuang's wheelchair shattered completely, pulverized. All those steel bars, nails, bearings, and belts turned into air—no, air has resistance, but those things in Hanma Yujiro's hands were practically nothingness, destined to be annihilated and destroyed under the terrifying violence.

If it were a human, being slapped would surely result in a painful death, but a wheelchair is a wheelchair. Guo Haihuang, who was sitting in it, had already jumped far away. This was consistent with Hanon's judgment. The old man had already prepared a contingency plan to deal with Yujiro's attack when he sat in the wheelchair.

"Ha, what immense power!" As the wheelchair fragments clattered to the ground, Guo Haihuang's slightly mocking words reached Yujiro's ears: "A master indeed. You ask me what I lost and what I gained... I once gained power, and then I lost it."

Guo Haihuang slowly took off his clothes: "What I have now is technology."

Author's Note: Today's update is very late. The second chapter tonight will probably be close to midnight. I've been traveling these past few days, so please bear with me. I should be able to resume a four-chapter update schedule around the 7th or 8th.

Section 687, Chapter 680: Exhaustion, Powerlessness, Instinct

Guo Haihuang a hundred years ago... was still Guo Haihuang, but not the Guo Haihuang of today. Back then, he possessed the strongest physique in Asia and even the world, his body covered in iron-clad muscles. The intensity of his training was beyond human imagination, completely opposite to his current self. He was an ultimate physical fighter, like Oliva.

However, Guo Haihuang, as the newly crowned Haihuang, was severely taught a lesson by an old man, and thoroughly understood what "technique" and "boxing principles" meant. After that, he learned from his mistakes, said goodbye to his old muscles, and trained again day after day until fifty years later, sixty years later... a hundred years later, he finally became what he is now.

Guo Haihuang's life has been one of gaining power and then abandoning it, of scorning technology and then embracing it. Now, he can beckon to Yujiro Hanma with a flick of his finger: "Hey, you're a master, come on!"

If Guo Haihuang said "come here" and Yujiro went over, wouldn't that be incredibly humiliating? But what use is face to Yujiro Hanma?

As a "fierce beast," it is not one to cherish its reputation; the "world's strongest creature" has thrown its punch.

...Bang?

Guo Haihuang was sent flying into the air by Hanma Yujiro's attack, spinning several times in mid-air. But there was no "bang," no "slap," no "thud," and not even a "duang." There was absolutely no sound. All the spectators felt a little dazed. The scene they saw and the information they heard could not be reconciled, and their minds could hardly judge what was going on.

When instinct is useless, experience and knowledge are needed for cognition. Coincidentally, the only two people in the entire arena who understand Guo Haihuang's abilities, Huayin and Lie Haiwang, are standing together watching the battle.

"It's energy dissipation, the ultimate energy dissipation." Beads of sweat appeared on Retsukai's forehead as he asked Hana, "Yekai, can you do that?"

“I can’t do it.” Hua Yin’s expression was calm. She had thought about the “force dissipation” technique for a long time. Looking at the world, apart from Guo Haihuang, no one dared to say that they knew more about this than Hua Yin: “Guo Haihuang’s experience is too rich. His technique is so proficient that I can’t compare to him… but I have my own path.”

Guo Haihuang was sent tumbling through the air by Yujiro's punch, but he regained his footing: "You could have used a little more force, you expert~"

His tone was so relaxed...

People, including Yujiro himself, then realized that Guo Haihuang had not only neutralized Yujiro's punch, but also had time to place his sunglasses on Yujiro's arm. This meant that Yujiro's punch was not only not powerful enough, but also not fast enough... That was Hanma Yujiro's punch!

Yujiro didn't speak. His response was to withdraw his hand, raise his leg, and launch another kick, which was undoubtedly the strongest attack a human could muster.

The kick... it hit! It was aimed at the chin, a vital spot... but there was no sound, no effect.

It's still "energy dissipation"! What an amazing "energy dissipation" technique!

No, this time there was actually a very crisp "crack" sound. Guo Haihuang's body swayed a few times after being kicked, but he eventually stood up. To everyone's surprise, people found that his jaw was dislocated.

"He dislocated his shoulder intentionally, using minimal movement to achieve the highest level of force dissipation, making Yujiro Hanma's attacks as easy as cutting through paper or even air..." Retsu Kaioh's cold sweat increased: "I can't master such a technique right now, I'm too young."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hanon again, his heart churning with emotion: "Ye Haiwang is so young, yet he has mastered the art of dissipating power. It's truly terrifying." He had fought Hanon twice before, and Hanon had used her usual techniques, primarily "Exploding Core" and "Indestructible Vajra," without even activating "Valkyrie Mode." Therefore, Retsu Haiwang couldn't gauge the level of Hanon's power dissipation abilities, only knowing that Hanon had once withstood Hanma Yujiro's attacks.

"Hmm?" Retsukai suddenly noticed that Kanon had raised her hand?

Then, with a flick of her wrist, Retsukai-oh saw a pair of sunglasses twirling in her hand.

"Ah! When..." Retsukai recognized that these were Guo Haihuang's sunglasses, but even with his sharp eyesight, he couldn't see when they had been kicked over here. Clearly, while everyone was focused on Guo Haihuang absorbing the force, Hanma Yujiro's kick hit the sunglasses first.

Kanon used her "Raiden" to catch the "flying weapon," but a few drops of blood dripped from her palm, cut by the edge of her sunglasses.

"In the end, it was Yujiro Hanma... This battle was too difficult for the old man," Hanon murmured.

Yes, Kanon is very confident in her "Raiden". If the sunglasses kicked by Yujiro can hurt Kanon, then how much can Guo Haihuang's ultimate version of power absorption counter the "giant beast"?

Yujiro Hanma launched his third direct attack on Guo Haihuang!

He raised his long leg high and brought it down with the force of a mountain crashing down, aiming straight for Guo Haihuang's face—and it hit the mark again.

In fact, given Yujiro Hanma's strong physique, high level of martial arts, and precise timing of his attacks, almost any of his attacks would hit.

Guo Haihuang was once again sent spinning through the air by the blow. When he finally stood up... he wasn't unharmed; he had a nosebleed.

Of course, there's still no major problem.

"Wow, impressive, impressive." Guo Haihuang licked the blood and laughed, "I haven't bled in decades."

"Ah! Guo Haihuang is very confident!" The commentator finally spoke up. The fight had been going on for a while, but the commentary booth had been silent, and there hadn't been much cheering or encouragement from the audience. Hanma Yujiro's swift defeat of Liu Haiwang was undeniable, and Guo Haihuang, being the de facto leader of Chinese martial arts, was closely associated with the martial arts province, so no one dared to say much. The cautious commentator could only wait until the situation became clearer before announcing, "Hanma Yujiro's power is completely useless against Guo Haihuang. Truly remarkable technique! Amazing!"

Is Yujiro Hanma completely useless? His unparalleled power has now become worthless? What a profound irony…

The irony was laughable, but in the end, it was Yujiro Hanma himself who laughed.

"Hahahaha—how laughable! 'Power dissipation,' is this what you call technique?" Yujiro's face was contorted with bulging veins, his gaping maw a terrifying grin: "So-called Chinese Kung Fu is just a game after all!"

"I've heard that 'energy neutralization' is considered the highest level of Chinese martial arts, capable of completely neutralizing attacks. I've already experienced that firsthand; it's quite a skill... but that's all."

Yujiro raised one hand to the sky: "To neutralize force, you must react to the attack in a very short time. However, humans have an instinctive stiffness when faced with danger, which is the greatest threat to neutralizing force. Boxers can train to take a punch head-on without blinking, but you have naturally overcome this reaction long ago through hard training... Guo Haihuang, I will awaken your instinct."

The conversation between Yujiro and Guo Haihuang felt rather ambiguous... but no one cared about that at the moment; everyone's attention was focused on how Yujiro would counter Guo Haihuang's ultimate energy dissipation technique. Everyone expected him to use brute force, employing superior strength and speed to overcome the energy dissipation, but instead, Yujiro uttered the nonsensical phrase "awakening instincts." Was he going to use technology to break through the energy dissipation?

"Breaking the power-reducing barrier..." Guo Haihuang walked towards Yujiro: "I'm really looking forward to it. I've been thinking about this question for a long time. So, what answer will you give me? Master~"

"Snap." A very, very slight snapping sound rang out, so faint that no one could actually hear it. It was Yujiro's hand, pointing to the sky, falling down and swiftly plucking a silver hair from Guo Haihuang's head.

Guo Haihuang isn't a penny-pincher; so what if he loses a hair?

Ah, that's quite a big deal. Because of the hair that was suddenly pulled out, Guo Haihuang's body jolted and he stiffened for a moment. Hanma Yujiro's fist took the opportunity to strike him head-on.

Yujiro Hanma's fourth attack was far less heavy and fierce than the previous three, but it was the most effective, breaking through Guo Haihuang's defense and knocking him to the ground with one punch.

Author's Note: I'm so tired. I'm too exhausted to write a single word today. I was planning to write an update by noon tomorrow, but it looks like that might not be possible... I'll try my best to guarantee two updates. If I need to take a break, I'll let you know in advance.

Chapter 681, Section 688: Veteran Genius

Guo Haihuang lay on the ground, seemingly dead... but that's a lie! After lying there for three to five seconds, just as the commentators and ordinary viewers were about to think that Guo Haihuang had been defeated, the old man trembled and slowly stood up.

"What a genius..." Guo Haihuang praised Yujiro, "I almost got killed by you."

"Fake! Liar! Not a genius!" Before Yujiro could reply, Kanon had already strongly complained, "You can't believe a single word this old man says!"

As a master who also understands "power dissipation", Huayin clearly saw that Guo Haihuang perfectly countered. It was true that the plucked hair caused stiffness, but the stiffness did not affect Guo Haihuang's power dissipation.

Now, Guo Haihuang's claim that he was almost killed by Yujiro is true, but that "slight" distance is like an abyss, impossible to cross. Yujiro Hanma's method of using human instinct to break through the energy dissipation barrier is indeed ingenious; he truly deserves the title of "genius." If it were Kanon using ordinary energy dissipation, she would most likely suffer... Of course, if she used "Raiden" to deal with it, she would definitely be fine. Guo Haihuang, on the other hand, achieved immunity to this method through pure energy dissipation; his skill is truly admirable and awe-inspiring.

Guo Haihuang continued to deceive Yujiro: "I escaped with my life, you expert~ You can believe me, or you can not..."

"Stop rambling! Your mind-altering tricks won't work on me." He was interrupted by Yujiro Hanma: "You're still standing, that's the result... I'm still standing too, the outcome of the battle will be decided by one person falling."

Guo Haihuang looked startled: "Wow, that's scary! Does one of them have to fall down? Why can't both of them stand up?"

Yujiro leaned back slightly: "This is victory or defeat, it's absolute! The mighty Sea Emperor doesn't even know this? What exactly is your understanding of victory or defeat?"

"Nothing special, pretty much the same as you, whether you achieve your goal or not, it's all very absolute." Guo Haihuang said as he strode towards Hanma Yujiro, until he stood right in front of him.

Yujiro was tall and imposing, while Guo Haihuang was thin and frail. Standing face to face, Haihuang had to look up to see Yujiro's face: "Wow, you're really tall! A master~ It must be very difficult to defeat a strongman like you! After all, this old man only has a little bit of strength..."

As he spoke, Guo Haihuang slowly extended his fist towards Hanma Yujiro: "Hey, I'm letting you know beforehand, take this punch!"

"Hmm—" Just before the fist was about to hit him, Hanma Yujiro's expression changed drastically. He turned his body backward at the limit and avoided Guo Haihuang's attack.

"Hey, why are you dodging?" Guo Haihuang lowered his fist, then raised it again and swung it out once more.

Yujiro Hanma managed to dodge it again this time.

What attack in the world could make Yujiro Hanma retreat? Guo Haihuang's attack, devoid of speed, power, and even lifelessness, did just that!

"This, this is..." King Liehai was completely bewildered. He knew that Guo Haihuang's punch must be extraordinary, probably the legendary application of force dissipation in the attack domain. However, with his knowledge and cultivation, he could not see the principle behind it, how powerful it was, or where its power lay.

So Retsukai looked at the "foreign aid" beside him.

Hana shook her head vigorously: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Hanon's understanding was a step further than Retsu Kaioh's—she knew that Guo Haihuang's "attack and defense power" was immeasurable. That move mixed the principles of dozens of Chinese martial arts techniques. It seemed slow, but the angles and rhythms were exquisite and extremely difficult to dodge. At the same time, Guo Haihuang's attack and defense power integrated the power application methods of these techniques into one. Hanon didn't know how he did it, but it was extremely strong. So strong that even Hanma Yujiro didn't dare to take it head-on.

Guo Haihuang can be described as "one skill encompassing all techniques"! Under his terrifying pressure, Yujiro not only retreated, but even retreated all the way to the edge of the arena. He, the "world's strongest creature", was forced to such a state, which can be described as extremely embarrassing. However, considering that it was the Chinese Haihuang who did this, it does not seem to be surprising.

"Hehe, why are you hiding?" Guo Haihuang said cheekily, having gotten the better deal but still acting innocent. He not only opened his arms and continued to approach Yujiro, but also continued to tease him: "Are you afraid of me? This old man?"

With a "whoosh," Guo Haihuang threw another punch, which Yujiro dodged at the last second. The punch struck the wall of the arena, producing not a dull thud, but a sharp, swift sound almost like the air being torn apart. Then, a huge, deep crater silently collapsed into the thick wall, almost as tall as Yujiro… Had Yujiro stood there without dodging, could this powerful punch have knocked him down?

The answer remains unknown, but it has at least made the audience consider this possibility. Guo Haihuang's punch was terrifying; this is the ultimate offensive and defensive power!

"Hehe, I've been exposed~" Guo Haihuang's smile widened, and while he was speaking, his hands not only didn't stop, but even sped up by three points - this was also a strategy, using language and actions to create a time difference and increase the success rate of the attack. Guo Haihuang is a man whose every move is full of profound meaning, and his laughter, anger and curses are all in line with the way of martial arts.

This time, perhaps he had fallen into Guo Haihuang's trap, or perhaps he was tired of running away, but Hanma Yujiro did not dodge again. Instead, he barely put his arm in front of him and took Guo Haihuang's attack head-on.

The question has been answered: even Guo Haihuang's offensive and defensive power cannot directly KO Yujiro, which is a pity... However, the offensive and defensive power is quite effective in damaging Yujiro. Yujiro's huge body was knocked off the ground by his feet, and Guo Haihuang launched a pursuit.

"Whoosh—" Guo Haihuang's attack could also be fast. This time, he raised his leg and kicked Yujiro's arm that was protecting his chest, pushing him backward.

At this point, the "world's strongest creature" had lost its balance. Guo Haihuang's third attack was a palm strike that sent Yujiro flying, spinning several times in the air.

Even so, Yujiro Hanma hadn't truly broken through the defense. After tumbling to the ground, he managed to brace himself with his hands, maintaining his balance. Then he was met with Guo Haihuang's fourth strike—a perfectly positioned soccer ball kick.

Guo Haihuang's timing of the attack was already superb. He had barely managed to hold on until now, and Fanma Yujiro had nowhere to avoid it. He was hit squarely in the face by this kick!
