The two crossed their hands again. Just now, Hana had pressed down first and then lifted, but this time she first lifted up to build up momentum, and then pressed down hard.
The pressure came like a sudden storm, incredibly fierce, but Guo Haihuang had seen this kind of attack countless times in his life. He activated his "force neutralization" technique, his arm swaying in the direction of the incoming force, thus deflecting the attack...
"Plop," a small piece of the pancake fell down.
"Eek—" Guo Haihuang was shocked again. This time, Hua Yin had succeeded again!
It seems that if Hanon hadn't deliberately broken the pancake and conceded defeat in the Grand Tournament, she would have won quickly, making Guo Haihuang's actions seem somewhat underhanded.
However, the Grand Tournament is now a thing of the past. Guo Haihuang is now filled with curiosity about Huayin's moves: "Girl, how did you do that?" The old man has encountered countless masters and geniuses in his life, but none of them are as terrifying as Huayin. Her ultimate power dissipation can be broken at will. Even under the special conditions of breaking the pancake, she can still complete the task in a fancy way.
Huayin was very modest: "It's just a little immature trick." She had no intention of keeping it a secret. After trying it out, she explained it to Guo Haihuang. She reached out and pressed her hand against the wall next to her, then pulled it towards her. With a "bang," without any digging or scraping, she pulled a piece of dirt out of the marble wall and stuck it to her palm, preventing it from falling.
Guo Haihuang recognized this move: "This is the 'empty path'."
The old man, with his vast experience, instantly grasped the principle behind Hanon's first successful pancake-breaking: "So that's how it is. You used the principle of 'void' to create a vacuum."
When she made her first move, Hana's palm was positioned at a specific angle. Using her talent for muscle manipulation, she created a miniature vacuum environment. As her arm moved downwards, she exerted upward pull in her palm. When Guo Haihuang used "force dissipation" to deal with the force on Hana's arm, the pancake was torn in half by the air pressure and sucked into Hana's hand.
"Incredible!" Guo Haihuang exclaimed sincerely, "You threw a punch with two opposing forces in one direction. It's unbelievable, but you actually did it!"
Now he was even more curious about Hanon's technique of breaking the dough apart the second time: "How did you do that the second time?"
"It's still just a small task~" Hanon didn't waste any words. She stretched out her hand again, made a "YES" gesture, raised her index and middle fingers, and pressed them against the wall.
"Hmm?" Guo Haihuang looked closely and saw that the muscles on Hua Yin's slender fingers were gently pulsating. "Plop—plop—" Two thin layers of debris peeled off the wall where Hua Yin pressed her two fingers. It wasn't a big deal, but it left two very obvious traces of finger movement.
“…Interesting.” Once again, Guo Haihuang immediately noticed something unusual: the movement trajectory of the two finger marks represented the direction of force exerted by Huayin’s two fingers. In terms of human physiology, there should only be four possibilities: both to the left, both to the right, both inward or outward. However, the two movement trajectories created by Huayin were different from the others. The index finger exerted force to the left, while the middle finger… went upward?
"How strange!" Guo Haihuang shook his head: "Ordinary people cannot make their middle finger slide upwards while their index finger moves to the left. Only a strange girl like you with such a gift can have this ability."
This is yet another technique developed based on muscle manipulation.
"Yes, I've always been grateful for this talent..." One should be kind and honest, so Huayin generously admitted that she had cheated and further demonstrated the principle behind the technique she had just used to Guo Haihuang.
She used both hands to slam into the wall. That poor wall, which had been hit by Guo Haihuang's "attack-dissipation force" in the Grand Tournament, and then smashed by Yujiro when he knocked Guo Haihuang over, was now being used by Hanon to test her moves. Finally, it could not withstand the attack, let out a wail, and collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"This was originally a move I planned to use to counter your 'energy depletion' technique, called 'Blowing Away Wilderness'..."
"Hey, little girl, do you think I'm too old for you? You hit me with such a powerful attack!"
"Well, don't you have 'energy dissipation'?"
"Tsk, I can see that the principle behind this move is that two forces collide within the target and generate tearing force... So when you broke the pancake the second time, you used one hand to send two forces, creating a miniature 'blowing'?"
"That's right, that's exactly how it was back then. You're really amazing, you figured it out so quickly!"
"After all, we know each other inside and out, and you even demonstrated it for me... Since you can break a pancake with one-handed 'Blow the Wilderness' even when I use 'Power Absorption,' then a normal two-handed 'Blow the Wilderness' should also be effective on me... Hey, don't look so eager to try! At my age, if I get hit, it could be fatal!"
Actually, Guo Haihuang wasn't seriously injured after being hit twice by Hanma Yujiro's "God of War Strike," which shows that even if his "power absorption" technique is broken, it won't be completely ineffective. He probably wouldn't die from being hit twice by Kanon's "Blowout." But now it's no longer a grand tournament, and the two Haihuangs, old and new, can only discuss martial arts in a harmonious atmosphere, no longer able to enter a life-or-death struggle.
Then, Huayin and Guo Haihuang discussed related technical issues. In fact, the two techniques that Huayin just demonstrated, using air to generate force in the opposite direction and generating multiple forces with one hand, are still very rudimentary. They are only suitable for breaking pancakes, but they are far from being applicable to actual combat. The current situation between the old and the young can be seen as an old professor and a new doctor collaborating on the research of profound theories. Once the theories are perfected, they can be applied to practice, thereby developing new martial arts that can be used in actual combat and have great power.
During the discussion, looking at Huayin's serious face, Guo Haihuang unconsciously put aside his worries about the future: "She is quick to learn and not ashamed to ask questions. The little girl's character is really good. It should be right to entrust the Martial Arts Province to her... Sigh, how did asking me for advice become 'asking questions'? Bah, bah, bah."
"Forget it! Anyway, I'm sure I can't beat her. If she really causes trouble, there's nothing I can do. Let nature take its course..." Thinking this, Guo Haihuang felt more and more relaxed. After shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Martial Arts Province for a hundred years, he could finally rest properly.
Author's Note: This chapter is so late! I'm writing the next two chapters...
Section 709, Chapter 701: Life After Overcoming the Mountains
Time flies, and three days have passed since the Grand Tournament. Hanon and her group have also spent three days in Hong Kong, so it's time to head back.
It's quite interesting that, as the newly crowned Sea Queen of the Chinese Martial Arts Province, Hanon didn't return to her home country after taking the throne but flew directly back to Japan. This itinerary made some old-timers in the Martial Arts Province quite critical, but they could only keep their dissatisfaction to themselves. In the past, when Hanon was the Sea King, no one cared where she went. Now that Hanon is the Sea Queen, it doesn't matter where others care.
In martial arts, there is no second place. The Sea Emperor is merely a title and a nominal honor, but precisely because of his prestige, no one can defy his will. At most, this group of dissatisfied people can only do some minor tricks, build small networks of connections, or spread rumors to lower Kanon's reputation—they don't realize that they can only do these minor tricks because Kanon doesn't care.
However, some people still cared about this kind of thing, and their underhanded actions were discovered by the former Sea King...
"You need to maintain some decorum." When seeing them off, Miho and the others boarded the plane early, but Kanon was a few steps late, saying goodbye to Guo Haihuang—since it was a private jet, there weren't many people at the airport. The old man told Kanon about the situation and warned, "Although you live in Japan, you can't neglect things back home. A big tree can be allowed to grow freely, but as its owner, you still need to prune it as necessary. I've dealt with those who were causing trouble; if anything similar happens again, you'd better pray for good fortune."
"Oh, thank you so much~" Hua Yin thanked Guo Haihuang, but she wasn't particularly concerned about the turmoil in the Martial Arts Province. Although her life experience from both lifetimes wasn't very long, she was definitely much more sensible than a seemingly underage high school girl. She understood the saying "a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned," and she also understood the principle that "the Yangtze River may be clear, but the Yellow River may be muddy, yet both can sustain a region." The Martial Arts Province was a large undertaking, and no one could be concerned with everything; otherwise, they wouldn't have a comfortable life. As someone in a position of power, she only needed to focus on the key tasks. As for which tasks were more crucial, she had a long life ahead of her and plenty of time to figure that out.
Seeing through Hua Yin's perfunctory attitude, Guo Haihuang rolled his eyes: "Tsk, you need to pay attention to your elders' advice. Dignity, you absolutely must have dignity..."
"Lord Sea Emperor, it's not ready yet~" A soft and charming voice called out from afar—Miho would never call Hanon that; someone was calling for Guo Haihuang.
"Here I am!" Guo Haihuang's voice suddenly sounded a hundred years younger, and he was full of energy.
This time it was Huayin's turn to roll her eyes. She had only seen it these past two days. It turned out that Guo Haihuang had a lot of lovers. The old man was quite the womanizer. No wonder he could still produce Guo Chuncheng when he was 120 years old. Now, the ones calling him are a few pretty young women.
"I say, where has your dignity gone?"
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Guo Haihuang snorted. "I'm the former Haihuang now, and I don't have any important duties to perform. Besides, have you ever seen a 146-year-old man who still has so many girls liking him? Isn't that happier than being a god? What need is there for prestige? I wouldn't even be an emperor if you gave me one!"
"Really... you have no dignity, but you taught me to be dignified..." Hana rolled her eyes so hard they almost popped out of their sockets. In this atmosphere of disgust, the two of them said goodbye very simply.
When Guo Haihuang left the waiting hall and returned to his young lover's side, the pretty girls did not call out to him as gently as before, nor did they surround him with affection—it wasn't that they disliked Guo Haihuang, but rather that the atmosphere was off.
Amid a group of women sat a tall, robust man, who, even seated, stood out from the crowd, appearing taller than the women around him.
This man exuded an imposing aura, so powerful that those around him found it difficult to breathe, let alone speak. Guo Haihuang recognized him, and so did Huayin…
"Hehehe, what a master! You haven't left yet?"
Yes, that person is Yujiro Hanma.
Guo Haihuang wasn't too surprised by Yujiro's appearance. He waved to reassure his lovers and then took Yujiro for a walk in the empty airport.
“King Jikai went to the temple.” It was very rare for Yujiro to speak up, and he was quite talkative: “First Shaolin Temple, then Hakurin Temple. He went to Shaolin to explore the origin of his own school, and he went to Hakurin Temple to persuade King Retsukai to go to Japan.”
Guo Haihuang chuckled: "The Fierce Sea King is a treasure of our Chinese boxing style. His heart is as hard as iron, and the Silent Sea King cannot persuade him."
"But it is foreseeable that Retsukai-oh will go to Japan more frequently and also visit the Paolinji Martial Arts Headquarters for exchanges."
"I don't care, let him be. If talent really leaves, that'll be a headache for the new Ye Haihuang."
"Oliba went back to America. Of course, he can go wherever he wants. He is the freest man in the world, Ansein."
"That black man was very strong. Even after being defeated by Xiaohuayin, he remained composed. He was an outstanding person."
"And then there's Ali II... He returned to the United States in disappointment. Technically he inherited his great father's skills, but his mental strength was far inferior."
"I'm not very familiar with boxing either."
The two were chatting idly when Yujiro stopped. "I'm very disappointed in Ari II. I was hoping he would give me some surprises..."
Guo Haihuang astutely discerned Yujiro's meaning: "Now, your only remaining target is Ye Hanane?"
"She keeps surprising me and getting stronger, she's the perfect person to dispel loneliness." Yujiro made no attempt to hide his purpose: "Guo Haihuang, I'm here today to ask you a question: Do you think Ye Huayin will get even stronger? Or rather, when will she reach her peak?"
Guo Haihuang glanced at Yujiro and frowned slightly: "You..."
"Food is most delicious when it's cooked to perfection, and it won't waste any ingredients." Yujiro Hanma, the "world's strongest creature," grinned, revealing a fierce smile. "I look forward to a formal battle with her; it will surely be more enjoyable than our clash."
A few nights ago, during our late-night chat, Hanon was still developing new technologies, clearly indicating she could continue to grow stronger. But now, Hanon has already reached the pinnacle of martial arts; looking around, there are probably fewer than a handful of people who can rival her. Human strength is finite, and there are no gods in this world. Where is the limit to Hanon's growth?
Yujiro Hanma's question was tricky, and Guo Haihuang fell into deep thought. To be honest, he didn't know either...
"Ugh, this is so annoying. I was just about to start enjoying life..."
The old Neptune fell into thought, while the new Neptune had already taken off for Japan.
On the plane, Hana was chatting with her friends and family.
Hanon asked, "Winter break is about to start, what are everyone's plans? How about going to a hot spring or something?"
Adam was the first to refuse: "No way, Miss, I'm going to continue my studies with Professor Shibukawa, it's a promise, and I have to go back to America for Christmas..."
Xiaotong shook her head second: "I made plans with my classmates to go skiing in Hokkaido during winter break."
Even Mihoko started to hesitate: "Um... Kanon... I really want to go out with you and have some time alone... but you know... there's a lot of work at the company at the end of the year... why don't you go find Garuda?"
Well, since Miho has brought up Garuda, Kanon knows she really doesn't have time.
Oh dear, how is Kanon going to spend her winter break?!
The newly crowned Sea Emperor of the Chinese Martial Arts Province has fallen into a state of emptiness after reaching the pinnacle of his life.
Author's Note: Phew, it's late again. I'm writing the fifth update, but it might be past midnight by the time I finish... So, I'll update five more tomorrow. Sorry, but this chapter won't be delayed.
Section 710, Chapter 702: Tokyo Group Sex
Tokyo winters are not very cold, with the lowest temperatures only around zero degrees Celsius. In early December, temperatures often reach 12 or 13 degrees Celsius, making for a very comfortable and pleasant climate.
It is also particularly suitable for group sports.
Uh, could you explain what "group sex" means...?
"This is codenamed 'Harasha.' The target has come into view. According to intelligence, the target has daily contact with women and then they cross this street together."
"Received, well done, 'Hara-shao,' I'll reward you with protein powder after this mission is over... Soldiers, this street is now a battlefield. Folks, we can't let a young girl's affections lead us astray!"
"Understood!" ×10
Hibiki Sakura turned off the walkie-talkie and called to Akemi Souin beside her: "Gina has spotted Coach Machio's trail. He's only three blocks away. Let's go over there!"
"It's good, but isn't this a bit too much of a show..." Zhu Mei's expression was a little embarrassed.
Hibiki has a crush on Coach Machio, and they even teamed up during the test of courage. However, a few days ago, rumors suddenly circulated at Mr. Shirogane's gym that Coach Machio had a girlfriend, shattering her girlish heart... Just kidding! The muscular girl never gives up easily, so Hibiki enlisted the help of everyone in the gym to monitor Coach Machio and his mysterious girlfriend.
Ayaka, Gina, Satomi-sensei, Aina-sensei, Ms. Wu, Nana-nee, Ibuki-kun, Ai-chan, Director Izumi, and even the ghost of Toyota Tadakatsu were all called out! Everyone was scattered throughout the streets of the area, playing the role of love agents, helping the girl find the truth.
Hibiki looked very serious. She didn't care whether it was a big fuss or not. She had to see the results today. She wanted to see Coach Machigaku's girlfriend, alive or dead... No, she wanted to see her, and if no one was there, she wanted to confirm it!
"Hiss, this is 'Hara-shao,' calling 'Big Meat Dumpling.'" Gina's message came through again: "Target is moving, please provide support as soon as possible, please provide support as soon as possible!"
Xiang immediately replied, "Okay... and don't suddenly give me any weird code names!"
Hibiki grabbed Zhu Mei and ran towards the area Gina was monitoring. At the same time, Gina shared Coach Machio's location information with everyone. Most of the "Cupids" started moving in that direction, while a few...
“Sakura-san!” “Kono-san!” Hibiki’s older brother, Sakura Ibuki, bumped into Kono Haruo, who was also a fan of anime and manga, on the way. The two immediately started catching up and discussing old times.
