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

Muttering "good teacher," Guo Haihuang strolled leisurely into the ring with his hands behind his back. His wheelchair had been crushed to pieces by Yujiro, so now he could only walk!

Lie Haiwang bowed deeply to him: "Teacher Guo, please give me your guidance!"

"Hehe, easy, easy." Guo Haihuang waved his hand. In terms of seniority, he was the great-grandfather of all martial artists today. However, since Lie Haiwang's master was the centenarian Liu Haiwang, the seniority gap between him and Guo Haihuang was the smallest. It was not inappropriate for the two of them to address each other as "teacher and student".

After bowing, King Liehai assumed a stance: "Then, excuse me!"

"Wait a minute." Guo Haihuang waved his hand again, not in a hurry to start fighting: "I have an idea."

Guo Haihuang is the leader of Chinese martial arts and the actual controller of the martial arts province. He is highly respected and every word and action of his is full of great authority. When he says he has an idea, everyone has to stop and listen to him.

Guo Haihuang clicked his tongue: "Hey, let's have a weapons contest this time."

"Ah, weapons?!" Everyone was taken aback. Why did the old man suddenly want to play with weapons? There was no rule against using weapons in the old arena competition...

“Yes, it’s a weapon.” Guo Haihuang pointed to the ground with his foot, where there was a piece of metal, which was from the wheelchair from before: “Don’t tell me there’s no rule about using weapons in the Grand Tournament. In the last match, I fought against Hanma Yujiro, and I entered the arena in a wheelchair, didn’t I? We both used wheelchairs, and that’s a weapon. Even super strong people like us have taken the lead in using it. Do the rest of you have any objections?”

"This..." There was a lot of discussion in the stands. Everyone knew that Guo Haihuang was being a bit unreasonable, but the old man was explaining the facts and reasoning with a sincere and firm attitude. It was clear that he had to use weapons. The audience members were all related to the Martial Arts Department, and for a moment no one had the courage to refute Guo Haihuang.

The commentator reacted quickly, and after a moment's thought, he passed the buck over the loudspeaker: "Guo Haihuang is an authority on Chinese martial arts, and the only person in the world to have participated in two Grand Tournaments. He has spoken, and the Martial Arts Province has no objections in principle, as long as Lie Haiwang also agrees..."

"I agree." King Liehai immediately agreed—in his heart, Emperor Guo Hai was a god-like senior and mentor, so naturally he would grant any request. Besides, King Liehai was proficient in all kinds of martial arts. He had once fought against Huayin with a staff, and not long ago he had used throwing knives and a long staff to beat up one of the five death row inmates, Duoer. King Liehai would only be more terrifying when he used weapons. In his opinion, it was Emperor Guo Hai who was letting him off easy when it came to weapons.

The matter was settled happily. The Martial Arts Department was naturally well-equipped. As soon as Lie Haiwang nodded, staff members brought out all kinds of weapons for him to choose from.

Retsukai grabbed an iron rod and said, "I'll use this."

Although he had mastered a wide variety of martial arts, Retsu Kaioh was always most comfortable with the staff, and he chose it against both Kanon and Dor.

Guo Haihuang chuckled: "Oh ho, it's the 'Divine Martial Unkillable' staff~ Lie, you truly live up to your reputation as a disciple trained by Bailin Temple. You were once a little bald guy, and even after becoming 'Fist Hero,' 'Demon Fist,' and 'Sea King,' you've never forgotten your roots... truly impressive."

Guo Haihuang also came to the weapon rack, picked up a steel knife, and weighed it in his hand: "Hey, the weapons supplier of our martial arts province isn't very good. 'Swords are light and agile, while knives are heavy and powerful,' but this knife is too light. Even an old man like me who finds it too heavy to hold a bowl and chopsticks while eating can lift it." As he spoke, Guo Haihuang picked up another steel knife: "Such a light knife, I need to use two."

No one would take Guo Haihuang's words seriously. The idea that "he finds even holding the bowl and chopsticks too heavy" is clearly a lie. The old man is perfectly healthy and energetic!

With two swords in hand, Guo Haihuang casually brandished them a few times, twirling them a few times, and struck a swordsmanship pose: "I've heard that Japan has a sword saint named Miyamoto Musashi, famous for his 'Niten Ichi-ryu' style of wielding two swords. Ah, little did he know that Chinese martial arts have had the method of using two swords for thousands of years—how fierce! I'll test your single staff with my two swords!"

Author's note: I'm home now. I'll try my best to resume regular updates starting tomorrow and the day after, four chapters a day, and I'll try to start earlier.

Section 699, Chapter 691: Two Swords Against One Staff

With both sides in position, it was natural for the senior to let the junior attack first. After saying "excuse me," Lie Haiwang launched an attack on Guo Haihuang.

Lie Haiwang used his staff technique like a spear, thrusting straight forward from the center. This was because he feared Guo Haihuang's reaction would be too fast. If he used his staff's most proficient downward strike, Guo Haihuang might cut him down with a single slash. It was a safer approach. Besides, the power of Lie Haiwang's staff was terrifying; it was at the level of "who says you can't kill someone without a spearhead?"

Facing the sudden thrust of the Sea King, Guo Haihuang chuckled, dodged to the side, and used one of his two swords to block the iron rod, preventing it from sweeping towards him. He then used the other sword to pull the iron rod away, and the huge guiding force almost made the Sea King's long rod slip from his hand.

"Impressive!" King Liehai exclaimed in admiration, feeling a tremendous tremor in his hands. With his strength, he was even struggling to hold the sticks steady, which showed that the power of Guo Haihuang's twin swords was not weak, but rather exceptionally strong.

Guo Haihuang just said the sword was too light—bah! You can't believe a single word that cunning old man says! The twin swords are clearly full of destructive power in his hands!

Guo Haihuang used a single strike to slightly stun Lie Haiwang, then immediately launched a counterattack, slashing his twin blades upwards at Lie Haiwang with a whooshing sound and astonishing power.

The twin swords were fierce, fast, and powerful. Lie Haiwang, who had been using his staff with both hands, had to loosen one hand and turn his body to avoid the blades. But Guo Haihuang changed his move halfway through the attack. One sword remained in its original upward thrust, while the other suddenly turned and swept horizontally.

"Ah! This is!" Hana, standing on the sidelines, was stunned. She was familiar with this technique; wasn't it the principle of "Unpredictable Change"? It used the technique of neutralizing force to forcibly change direction mid-attack, achieving a surprise effect. She hadn't expected Guo Haihuang to know it too…

Sigh, Guo Haihuang has lived for almost 150 years and practiced martial arts for almost 150 years. Even if his experience in using force dissipation is less than 100 years, it's close to that. How could such a super-old grandmaster not have thought of such a technique? However, Huayin's "Wufang Huanbian" is still special because Huayin uses a two-stage acceleration and change of direction, during which she has to use her body to overcome inertia and air resistance. With Guo Haihuang's current physique, he cannot maintain his balance after the two-stage force dissipation. "Wufang Huanbian" is still Huayin's exclusive technique.

Of course, even with just a slight change of direction, Guo Haihuang's move was still incredibly abrupt, putting Lie Haiwang on the defensive. Seeing a flash of cold light and the blade sweeping towards him, Lie Haiwang had no time to defend and could only release his other hand, discard the iron rod, and retreat.

In other words, Lie Haiwang and Guo Haihuang exchanged blows in just one round, within a second or two, in the blink of an eye, Lie Haiwang was forced to discard his weapon by Guo Haihuang...

It should be noted that Retsu Kaioh is already one of the strongest individuals in the world.

What an amazing "Sea Emperor"! Truly worthy of being called the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts!

In fact, Guo Haihuang was quite pleased that he had forced Lie Haiwang to abandon his staff with a single move. His attack slowed down, and he used his twin swords to clamp the iron staff, spinning it twice in mid-air with a smile on his face.

Guo Haihuang was about to say something, but he had only opened his mouth halfway when the spinning iron rod was grabbed.

That was undoubtedly Retsu Kaioh. His brief retreat was only to return faster. After discarding the iron rod, Retsu Kaioh quickly retreated several steps, and once he reached a safe distance, he suddenly exerted his strength and returned to his original position even faster.

So Guo Haihuang could only let out a surprised exclamation: "Oh?" before Lie Haiwang pulled the iron rod back from the grip of the twin swords.

Lie Haiwang felt neither sorrow nor joy; his mindset was perfectly balanced. Now was the time to fight with all his might, and he could not afford to be careless in the slightest when facing Guo Haihuang! As soon as he turned his long staff around, Lie Haiwang swung it out again, this time in a sweeping motion—huh?

Guo Haihuang took two steps back and easily dodged the sweep. This distance is not right. Is Lie Haiwang's stick that short?

When Lie Haiwang swung the staff, he felt it was a bit light. When the staff reached Guo Haihuang, he saw that the iron staff in his hand was only half its original length! It turned out that when Guo Haihuang was spinning the staff between his two swords, he had used his hidden strength to twist it. When Lie Haiwang pulled back the staff and swung it with great force, the staff broke into two pieces... My God, that was an iron staff!

Lie Haiwang reacted quickly. As the broken half of the stick fell downwards, he instantly found the right spot, raised his leg and kicked, sending the broken iron rod flying towards Guo Haihuang as a hidden weapon.

Guo Haihuang reacted swiftly, turning his body and wielding his twin blades to once again entangle the broken iron rod. The old man laughed loudly, spinning backward several times, not only dissipating the momentum of the broken iron rod but also adding considerable centrifugal force to it, until the twin blades released their grip, the broken rod escaping their control and flying backward toward Lie Haiwang.

Such hidden weapons are very fast, and most people definitely cannot catch them. However, Guo Haihuang is not an ordinary person, nor is Lie Haiwang.

With a deft touch, Retsukaion caught the flying half of the iron rod, holding it in each hand, and resumed his fighting stance.

Guo Haihuang was in no hurry to make a move. Looking at the fiercely prepared Lie Haiwang, he laughed and said, "Lie, the staff is a weapon that is 'divinely invincible.' I heard that you lost and stopped fighting after your staff broke when you fought with Ye Yatou. What, do you want to continue fighting with me now?"

At the beginning of the year, after Hanon's trial with Retsu, there was indeed such a clash. The broken staff was extremely sharp, making it even more dangerous and potentially fatal, so Retsu stopped fighting. Now, the iron staff has been severed by the twin blades. Although the break is smooth and flat, it is not a horizontal cut but rather at a certain angle. Retsu is now wielding two "short spears," making them even more lethal. Guo Haihuang's situation is even more dangerous than Hanon's.

However, this time Lie Haiwang showed no intention of stopping: "Now it's a competition of the Grand Arena, there's no room for mercy. Besides, Guo Haihuang, you are the strongest opponent. Even if I use a sharp weapon, I will still be at a disadvantage."

"Listen to this! Can't you believe what people are saying? I'm almost 150 years old, and I'm being bullied like this by a junior! Waaah..."

The onlookers were all exasperated. Hana slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Hey, Grandpa, are you trying to be cute? But there's absolutely nothing cute about it!"

Please, he's already shown off several times. Everyone knows that Guo Haihuang is the undisputed "Sea Emperor." Even an idiot wouldn't underestimate him.

Seeing that Lie Haiwang remained cold and composed, ready for battle, Guo Haihuang, feeling rather unwelcome, shook his twin swords in frustration: "Heh, you guys are really boring... then come at me again, Lie."

Author's Note: Phew, after a few days' break, I'm back to four updates a day. My work rhythm isn't quite perfect yet, but I'll still try my best to deliver four updates today. I'm going to fight like the Sea King!

Also, the image of Lie Haiwang wielding two broken sticks reminded me of the scene in Stephen Chow's [Kung Fu Hustle] where he uses the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff against the Qin Demon. Unfortunately, the screenshot from that movie was too blurry, so I didn't include it. Please use your imagination...

Section 700, Chapter 692: Guo Haihuang's killing intent surges?

Guo Haihuang gave the order, and Lie Haiwang didn't hesitate either, thrusting his short spear forward. Just now it was two swords against one stick, now he was using two spears against two swords.

The spear is the king of weapons, possessing characteristics of both blunt and sharp weapons. It is difficult to master and extremely powerful once mastered. The old saying goes, "A month for a staff, a year for a knife, a lifetime for a spear," referring to the unique nature of spear techniques. Now, with two spears in hand, Lie Haiwang unleashed his life's skills. Although he couldn't defeat Guo Haihuang, he was no longer easily at a disadvantage. The two top masters clashed, and the arena was filled with shouts of battle and the clash of weapons, dust billowing as the fight intensified.

Guo Haihuang and Lie Haiwang's weapon skills were both at the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts. Every move and stance was extremely refined. Among the spectators in the stands were many foreigners from various countries, many of whom had a deep understanding of weapon combat. After witnessing this exchange, they felt that all their past learning was rubbish and nothing but a joke in front of the Fang family. If they were in the same position as the person fighting in the ring, they would probably be defeated in one or two moves.

"It goes without saying that Guo Haihuang has such skill, but Lie Haiwang is only in his thirties, yet he is so proficient in both staff and spear techniques. Could it be that he has truly mastered all kinds of martial arts? Comparison is the thief of joy!"

"Look, Guo Haihuang's swordsmanship is sharp in attack and graceful in defense, sometimes light and agile, sometimes heavy and powerful. His moves seem to be a dazzling display, yet there is stillness within movement. He truly deserves to be called the Sea Emperor!"

"This is amazing, amazing, I don't know what to say, it's just so amazing..."

"Ugh, I'm seeing things too much. My rational mind tells me that Poseidon is stronger, but judging from the situation, I can't tell who's better or worse."

Indeed, it's no wonder the audience only showered them with compliments. Guo Haihuang and Lie Haiwang's movements were too fast and skillful; even top martial artists like Huayin, Oliva, and Ji Haiwang couldn't understand what was happening on the field.

Hanon's eyes could keep up with their speed, but she was unfamiliar with weapon combat. She could appreciate it, but once she put herself into the battle scene and tried to figure out how to counter a move, her mind couldn't keep up with her brain: "No, no, I'm dizzy..." There was no one around now. If there were, they would definitely see that Hanon's eyes had turned into spirals.

"So beautiful! Eastern martial arts not only have sorcery-like moves, but also dance-like movements~" The man opposite, Oliva, was very straightforward. He was the type who believed in "overpowering all techniques with sheer force." From the beginning, he gave up thinking about how to counter or break the moves. If he were to actually fight a weapon master, he would just tense up his muscles and charge in. Therefore, he was able to calmly watch the battle and appreciate the beauty of the martial arts.

After watching for a while, Oliva asked the Silent Sea King beside him, "Can you do that too?"

King Jihai waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, how could that be? Although our Paolin Temple boxing style originated from Chinese martial arts, our founder only learned the fist and foot techniques and did not delve deeply into weaponry... This is why I want to invite everyone back to Japan to teach. Guo Haihuang will definitely be the best weaponry teacher."

"Hmm? You only mentioned Guo Haihuang." Oliva noticed the blind spot.

Silent Sea King raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Although I am not skilled with weapons, I know how to observe the battles between weapon masters. While Fierce Sea King's skills are undoubtedly superb, Guo Sea Emperor has not been using his full strength at all!"

Silent Sea King was right. The Sea Emperor was, after all, the Sea Emperor, whose strength far exceeded common sense. Fierce Sea King was still some distance away from him. A martial artist like Fierce Sea King had no weaknesses in strength and almost no flaws in mentality. If he fought steadily and surely, he would never be defeated. But once his opponent was truly stronger than him, he lost any chance of turning the tide and could only slide step by step into the abyss of defeat.

Just like now, the two masters have been fighting for dozens of rounds. The super old Guo Haihuang is relaxed, while the young and strong Lie Haiwang is covered in sweat, his clothes are soaked with sweat - it is the pressure on his mind. Being pushed to the edge of defeat by Guo Haihuang time and time again, the intense tension further amplifies the mental energy consumed in countering the moves, leaving Lie Haiwang exhausted.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared. It was because Lie Haiwang's movements had slowed down due to fatigue. Guo Haihuang seized the opportunity, the blade deflected, and sliced ​​across Lie Haiwang's wrist, causing a short gun to fall to the ground.

One short gun fell to the ground, and the other was not far from slipping from his hand. After only three or five moves with his single gun, Lie Haiwang lost his footing and had the second short gun knocked away, leaving him to fight bare-handed.

The battle should have ended here, but the tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease. How can a battle end so easily? With another flash of cold light, Guo Haihuang knocked away Lie Haiwang's short spear with one slash, and then slashed across Lie Haiwang's chest with another slash, "Pfft."

It was the sound of blood splattering. Lie Haiwang tensed his muscles as he flew backward, managing not to be cut in two. Before he could even admit defeat, Guo Haihuang's pursuit began again. This time, the Sea Emperor's twin swords danced like a sudden downpour, his attacks fierce, instantly engulfing Lie Haiwang in a raging torrent, leaving him no chance to escape.

"Heavens! That's enough!" Hua Yin exclaimed in shock. Was Guo Haihuang going to kill someone? Hadn't he just told her that she should protect geniuses like Lie Haiwang from falling?

As for Lie Haiwang, who had personally experienced Guo Haihuang's swordsmanship, he had no time to ponder why Guo Haihuang had attacked him so fiercely, intensifying his attacks after his weapon was thrown from his hand. He merely instinctively dodged and weaved, trying to maintain the situation and avoid defeat. But everyone knows that breaking a blade with bare hands is extremely difficult, especially against someone like Guo Haihuang! Lie Haiwang's struggles were nothing more than doing his best; he didn't even need to leave the rest to fate. His destiny was defeat, or even death.

"Whoosh—" After several more moves, Guo Haihuang's swift blade struck again. This time, the cut was deep and precise enough that Lie Haiwang couldn't dodge and was sliced ​​into his kidney area from the side! Those who saw this all closed their eyes. Without a doubt, Lie Haiwang's fate would be to be separated from his wife...

Alas, Retsu Haiwang spun around in the direction the steel blade had come from, leaping into the air and spinning three or four times. When he finally came to a stop and stood firmly on his feet, the audience who opened their eyes again saw bloodstains and sweat on his body, but they did not see his severed body or the disgusting entrails spilled all over the ground.

Lie Haiwang broke through Guo Haihuang's sword strike!

No, it's not just about cracking the knife-cutting technique; the more crucial aspect is the method he used it.

"Ah, ahhh..." Hanon's tongue was stuck, and she kept making incredulous "ahhh" sounds for a long time before finally managing to say, "Isn't this supposed to help you burn off energy?"

Kanon was the only one in the entire room who could see the "power dissipation," even Retsu Kaioh, who had just personally performed an immature power dissipation, was completely bewildered: "What I just felt was... could it be... what exactly is going on..."

The only one left with the right to interpret the situation was Guo Haihuang. The old man folded his hands, looked at Lie Haiwang with a smile, and said with great satisfaction: "Well done, Lie. Your cultivation has indeed crossed the threshold of cultivating energy dissipation."

Author's Note: This chapter is a bit late, sorry. It seems I'm not feeling too good to be back to four updates a day. I'll try my best... there will be at least a third update tonight, and a fourth depends on the situation.

Chapter 693, Section 701: A Good Master, A Good Disciple

Retsu Kaioh has crossed the threshold of learning "energy dissipation".

Emmm, Retsu Kaioh is a martial arts master who has mastered all kinds of skills. He is talented and hardworking. It is not surprising that he will learn any new techniques after accumulating so much. What is more shocking than this is that everything Guo Haihuang did was to teach Retsu Kaioh how to "dissipate power"!
