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

The immense impact sent Yujiro flying backward, causing him to somersault twice in mid-air. Looking back on his life as the "strongest creature in the world," when had he ever been toyed with, led around, or suppressed by an opponent like this?

“You attack me four times, I’ll attack you four times too~ Ah, what a worthy opponent.” Guo Haihuang’s attack was completed in one go, and he stopped there: “It’s a good thing I’ve lived to this age to meet such a worthy opponent as you, this is fate… How about trying to live as long as me? Life is wonderful.”

"...You're getting senile." Yujiro replied to Guo Haihuang with disdain.

Wait a minute, here's the problem: Yujiro responded to Guo Haihuang instantly?!

It seems the soccer kick just now had no effect...

After two somersaults, Yujiro Hanma landed gracefully on both feet, his arms swinging, his movements elegant—wasn't that the same "power-dissipating" stance as Guo Haihuang?!

With such an opponent, Guo Haihuang genuinely uttered that word: "A genius..."

Author's Note: I've finally finished writing. I won't have to take a break today. I'll post two chapters in a row, and the next one will be coming soon.

Section 689, Chapter 682: Overconfident

Every generation produces its own geniuses, and every genius eventually grows old. People praise the sudden emergence of geniuses, but few pay attention to their entire lives. So, what happens to geniuses as they age?

The answer is not hard to guess: some geniuses died young, some didn't, but those who grew up successfully didn't become ordinary. Instead, throughout their lives, they earned other titles based on their unparalleled talent, such as "the most ferocious," "the cannibal," and "the world's strongest creature"...

Indeed, behind those illustrious titles, Yujiro Hanma remained a peerless genius.

His talent is truly terrifying. He had only exchanged less than ten blows with Guo Haihuang when Yujiro learned the essence of "energy dissipation." This talent, this achievement... it's truly chilling!

“There’s a man in Japan who’s known as the strongest man in the world. I heard about you twenty years ago, and now it seems that the title of ‘genius’ is indeed well-deserved.” Guo Haihuang sincerely praised Yujiro’s talent and even applauded him.

But as the Sea Emperor, the old man had no reason to back down. He took two steps forward and continued to confront Yujiro head-on: "Life is enjoyable. You are not only a good opponent, but also seem to be a good student of mine~ So, let's see which one is truly unfazed by fire, your energy dissipation or my energy dissipation..."

“Don’t worry, old man.” Yujiro interrupted Guo Haihuang again: “I won’t use the power-canceling technique again.”

Guo Haihuang was stunned.

Yujiro added, "I was just using your signature style to tease you; it's not my style."

"What an arrogant fellow!" Retsukai-oh, standing on the sidelines, felt a surge of anger. Although he knew that Hanma Yujiro's strength was well-deserved, his attitude of not taking Guo Haihuang and Chinese boxing seriously was really hard to accept.

However, Kanon, who was standing next to Retsu Kaioh, simply shook her head: "Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yujiro Hanma didn't fall into the trap."

Now, Kanon is quite certain: Guo Haihuang is an unfathomable figure, not only in his martial arts but also in his speech and mannerisms. Every word he utters is a trap, and every action carries a hidden meaning. He praised Yujiro for so long to instill arrogance in him, then smoothly transitioned to a scene where the two would duel using "energy dissipation"—in this contest, Guo Haihuang's experience surpasses Yujiro's entire lifespan; in a battle of "energy dissipation" against "energy dissipation," no one in the world has a chance of defeating him!

But Yujiro Hanma refused.

He raised his arm—very thick, with bulging veins, containing boundless power, the muscles bulging and almost gleaming with a metallic sheen: "So-called fighting is the release of power, the attack that neutralizes power, the defense that neutralizes power, or other boxing techniques and skills. These are only used by people like you, and have nothing to do with me."

"Boom!" Yujiro slammed his fist into the ground.

The ground cracked and caved in, forming a huge pit, almost three times the size of the wall Guo Haihuang had just smashed with his force!

No one can fathom Guo Haihuang's boxing principles; they contain far too many complex techniques and methods. As for Yujiro's boxing principles, everyone can understand them; they are simply the result of brute force, where sheer power can overcome any technique.

"We people?" Guo Haihuang swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down his spine for the first time in decades. "You mean..."

"Everyone except me." Yujiro Hanma's expression was a mixture of anger and laughter: "Liu Haiwang said that martial arts were created by the weak to defeat the strong, so you martial artists put yourselves in the position of the weak from the very beginning. All those secret techniques, secret transmissions, and ultimate skills, all those ideas, thoughts, and techniques, let you weaklings figure them out... To me, all of these are impure impurities!"

Yujiro once criticized Kanon for being "too low in purity." Because of his innate strength, Yujiro's behavior is quite straightforward. He does whatever he thinks of. If he says he'll fight, he will fight. If he says he'll defeat his opponent, he will defeat his opponent. He only cares about the road ahead and doesn't care about what's behind him.

The two top-tier fighters began their third round. This time, it was Yujiro Hanma who threw an uppercut, which struck Guo Haihuang's chin—or rather, his chin, which he used to neutralize the force of the punch.

Guo Haihuang was like a scallion that had been pulled up; he flew off the ground with a graceful movement. Someone like Hanon, who was also a master of neutralizing force, could tell at a glance that no matter how strong Hanma Yujiro's attack was, Guo Haihuang always had a way to neutralize his force through his movements.

Yujiro knew this too, so his second strike followed immediately—a powerful kick that sent Guo Haihuang crashing into the wall of the arena.

Guo Haihuang retreated to the wall, using the wall as leverage to push off, not only deflecting the attack but also kicking Yujiro in return. The enormous impact of the "attack-deflection force" sent Yujiro back several meters. Guo Haihuang had the upper hand in this round!

But Hana, standing on the sidelines, frowned and said, "This is bad."

The situation is indeed dire. During the "BIG" Grand Prix, Kanon was cornered by Kaoru Hanayama and almost knocked out because he couldn't neutralize the force. The biggest weakness of neutralizing force on the defensive end is not having enough space to maneuver. Now, Yujiro Hanma's punches and kicks have become unbelievably powerful. Guo Haihuang was forced into a corner after his second strike, and things are going to be dangerous from here on out.

Just as Kanon had predicted, both Yujiro and Guo Haihuang were highly experienced super fighters. Such individuals would either clash like Kanon vs. Kuroki, where neither could touch the other, or conversely, neither could defend against the other. A top-level duel devolved into a melee. During this melee, Hanma Yujiro's advantage gradually became apparent. He could withstand Guo Haihuang's attacks with his unparalleled physical prowess, while Guo Haihuang was constantly being slammed against the wall by Yujiro, his space for maneuver shrinking, and bruises and even bloodstains beginning to appear on his body.

Guo Haihuang, in danger...

"Bang!" A muffled sound suddenly came from Yujiro's body during the fight. This was a sound that Guo Haihuang had never made before. It was because Guo Haihuang panicked when he was at a disadvantage and used a common martial arts technique that he had mastered in his youth, which was not the ultimate power-dissipating technique. He kicked Yujiro in the face, forcing him back half a step, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to escape from the corner.

Guo Haihuang landed again with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his body trembling, and he was panting heavily. He had clearly suffered some real injury, and his energy dissipation had been largely broken.

The usually elegant, or rather, cheeky old man was now furious: "Don't get too cocky, you brat!"

The title of the number one martial artist in China, Haihuang, should not be taken lightly.

But Yujiro Hanma just couldn't resist getting carried away.

"Sizzle—" His clothes were torn, and Yujiro Hanma's back swelled up to an extreme degree...

The proof of the Fanma family bloodline, the characteristic of the "world's strongest creature," the Ghost Back, has opened.

Author's Note: That's all for now... I'm almost fainting, sob sob sob

Section 690, Chapter 683: He died of old age

Yujiro Hanma revealed his demon back, and the entire arena emitted a loud "gurgling" sound.

Just like the five death row inmates who coincidentally came to Tokyo seeking a defeat, Tokugawa Mitsunari explained it as "synchronicity," which was merely a premonition. Now, when people saw Hanma Yujiro's powerful back face, everyone, from the martial arts department's clerk who knew nothing about martial arts to Kanon and Guo Haihuang, who stood at the pinnacle of world martial arts, all swallowed hard.

That's terrifying! People already knew this even before Yujiro showed any moves.

Next, Guo Haihuang...

“I see. The extreme strengthening of your back muscles, like a ghost face, I’ve been wanting to see it for a long time.” Guo Haihuang was still smiling, but his smile had softened considerably, making him seem more sincere: “The muscles in your back are clearly different from ordinary people. It’s not something you can get through training, but something you’re born with. That’s why you consider other humans as weak, isn’t it? You’re right. The king of beasts can treat other animals as food, and your relationship with other humans is probably the same.”

Guo Haihuang stopped there, seemingly stating a fact—no, he was simply stating the truth: the oppressive feeling that Hanma Yujiro was currently exerting on him was unprecedented in his 146 years of life, and this was no exaggeration.

But so what?

A true warrior dares to face the dripping blood and the bleakness of life. Liu Haiwang, with his century of cultivation, has a fairly accurate understanding of martial arts. Guo Haihuang agrees with his view that "martial arts is about the weak defeating the strong." As the foremost martial artist in contemporary China, bearing the highest and final glory of martial arts, Guo Haihuang must meet Hanma Yujiro head-on, no matter how formidable he may be. At this moment, whether he shows strength or weakness makes little difference.

Guo Haihuang was never confused about this, and Kanon, Retsu Kaioh, and even most of the audience vaguely understood it as well. As for Hanma Yujiro, who drove the "Oni Back," he was Guo Haihuang's absolute confidant, so he wouldn't say anything more, leaving only...

The two people in the arena moved closer to each other at the same time.

The fiercest brawl has culminated in the strongest blow.

"Oh!"

Just from the sound, it was clear that Guo Haihuang had failed. Yujiro's martial arts level was in no way inferior to his, and he had longer limbs and was faster, striking his opponent before Guo Haihuang could react. Guo Haihuang's attempt to neutralize the force also failed; the muffled thud was clear proof that he had been hit squarely.

As for how heavy that punch was... Guo Haihuang was completely embedded in the wall at the edge of the ring.

That was a truly terrifying punch! But Guo Haihuang's appearance didn't change much, and he didn't even spit out a drop of blood. After he came down from the wall, no one could say for sure how much damage Yujiro's "Demon Back" attack had actually caused.

Oh, there's just one thing: Guo Haihuang's expression is a bit blank... Was he stunned by the beating? Was he knocked unconscious? Or was he shocked by Hanma Yujiro's power? Or perhaps, Guo Haihuang still has a backup plan, and he wasn't beaten too badly by Yujiro, but was just thinking about his next move?

Alas, Guo Haihuang has been in this world for over a hundred years, fifty thousand days. He has been practicing martial arts all along, longer than anyone else, more skilled than anyone else, and more profound than anyone else. Such a person cannot be judged by ordinary standards... Perhaps in his daze, he also remembered these things, remembered the past years.

Guo Haihuang's momentary lapse in concentration was fleeting; he indeed still had energy to spare! He launched a new attack on Hanma Yujiro!

People were astonished to see that Guo Haihuang could unleash such incredible speed and power in his punches and kicks. Not only were they fast, but they were also incredibly strong; each strike possessed ultimate offensive and defensive force, brimming with devastating power. Furthermore, the techniques employed in this attack were infinitely varied. The complexity of Guo Haihuang's methods and the wonder of his moves had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, something unimaginable to onlookers. Among the thousands of foreign spectators were many who could glean valuable insights into their own martial arts techniques from just a glance!

However, under Guo Haihuang's extreme attack, Hanma Yujiro simply put his hands in his pockets, letting himself be beaten to a pulp, yet he remained calm and composed.

"What... what's going on?" The ordinary viewers were all confused.

Miho and Hitomi also couldn't understand the situation, but Adam was with them. Adam gritted his teeth, he knew the trend of the battle very well: "That Fvcking monster, the old sea emperor's attacks can't hurt him at all! My own erector spinae muscles are very strong, so I understand all too well what it feels like to withstand the enemy's attacks with core strength."

As Adam said, Guo Haihuang's attacks could no longer break through Hanma Yujiro's defense.

"It's over." Hua Yin's eyes welled up with tears. Reason told her that the outcome of the battle and Guo Haihuang's defeat were inevitable, but her emotions still tried to convince her that perhaps there was still room for redemption.

As Hanma Yujiro slowly extended his hands amidst Guo Haihuang's fierce attack, Guo Haihuang stopped as soon as his hands were completely out of his pockets—what remarkable judgment! Hanma Yujiro's timing in reaching out was just at the tail end of Guo Haihuang's offensive! Now that Guo Haihuang was at his limit, it was Yujiro's turn to shine.

The "world's strongest creature" raised its arms high, and the "ghost back" was squeezed into a crying face.

That's all, there's no room for negotiation.

Faster than a blink, faster than a breath, faster than the surge of emotions like shock, lamentation, and excitement. Hanma Yujiro unleashed a move called "Twin Peaks Piercing the Ears" on Guo Haihuang.

Guo Haihuang, whose head was reeling from the shock, spurted two jets of blood from his ears—it was terrifying! He hadn't even shown such obvious injuries when he was smashed into the wall!

But this was only the second blow after Yujiro Hanma opened the "Oni Back".

He had a third strike, the "God of Slaughter Strike," which went straight for Guo Haihuang's face.

As Yujiro swung his arm, Retsu Kaioh, whose heart was breaking on the sidelines, recalled the scene in the Tokyo Dome's underground arena where Kanon withstood three of Yujiro's "God of Death" blows. Although it was inappropriate to think about other things now, Retsu Kaioh was too focused on martial arts, and a thought couldn't help but flash through his mind: "After the third blow, Guo Haihuang will surely die... And Ye Haiwang, who can withstand three of Yujiro's blows, is he already stronger than Haihuang?"

Then Retsu Kaioh discovered that Kanon was no longer beside him.

Hanon no longer cared about "martial arts ethics" or "江湖道义" (jianghu code of honor). She would never let Guo Haihuang be beaten to death in front of her! Like Retsu Haiwang and all the spectators, Hanon judged that Guo Haihuang would definitely die from Yujiro's third attack. So she used "無方幻变" (Mufang Huanbian) to rush out at lightning speed and pounce on the two fighting, trying to prevent the tragedy from happening.

Will Kanon... make it in time?

The answer is no, it was too late. Yujiro Hanma's attack was too fast, and the battlefield was too far from the entrance passage. When Kanon was halfway there, Yujiro's fist was already in front of Guo Haihuang.

But the "fierce" fist did not fall. Yujiro's eyes suddenly widened, and the fist stopped right in front of Guo Haihuang. The strong wind blew, making Guo Haihuang's loose skin wrinkled.

"Are you an idiot?" Yujiro roared at Guo Haihuang, his voice echoing throughout the arena.

Unfortunately, Guo Haihuang, who was opposite him, seemed completely oblivious.

Guo Haihuang stopped breathing, his pupils dilated, his eyes became cloudy, and his body became weak... What stood in a relaxed posture in front of Hanma Yujiro was just an empty shell.

"No way..." Hanon was stunned, Retsukai was stunned, everyone was stunned: "He died of old age..."
