Section 727, Chapter 719: A Gathering of Heroes

It's been a long time since I've seen Hao Angsheng. The last time I saw him was at the underground arena of Tokyo Dome. The last time I heard about him was when he was severely beaten by Dor and almost died. If it weren't for his older brother Hao Hongye being a miracle doctor, he wouldn't have been able to save him.

However, given that he participates in underground boxing matches and challenges death row inmates, it's clear that Hao Angsheng is a war maniac and a martial arts fanatic, obsessed with fighting and martial arts. It's not surprising that he infiltrated the US military base to find Pi Ke and caused trouble.

"Retsu Kaioh! Hana-ne!" Hao Angsheng was taken aback when he saw Retsu and Hana-ne, then burst out laughing: "Ah ha, so you two are the same... Come see Pike. This man from ancient times, you can tell how powerful he is just by looking at him. He acts without being bound by other people's opinions or morals, and is full of unfathomable wildness. I feel my fighting spirit being burned by flames, and my thoughts are anxious... When I came to my senses, I was already here. I want to see Pike, and it would be best if we could fight. It seems like we both feel the same way, right?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Hanon quickly launched into a triple denial. Hao Angsheng and Lie Haiwang were unbelievable; they were saying the kind of things lovers would say. Did they really consider Pi Ke their partner?

But if both of them really consider Pi Ke their lover, then aren't they rivals in love?

Sure enough, Hao Angsheng changed the subject: "We are like-minded people, and I would like to shake hands with you and wish each other well, but I can't. I came first."

Retsu Kaioh's eyes hardened, and his aura surged. Hogan was about to fight Pike first, which was damaging the "purity of Retsu Kaioh's battles"!

Hanon blinked. Before she even saw Pike, they were already going to start a fight?

"Crack, crack." Suddenly, a sound came from inside the bulletproof glass wall separating Piko, attracting the attention of the three—was Piko about to come out?

However, it wasn't the tree hole that made the noise, but the small dinosaur statue in the room. At the same time as the noise, cracks appeared on the statue, which continued to widen until it finally broke open with a "bang," shattering the statue and revealing the person inside.

"Foolish Doppo!" Hanon, Retsu Kaioh, and Ho Angsho exclaimed in unison, never expecting that the "Old Martial God" of Japanese karate was hiding inside.

Yudi Dubu doesn't know when or how he sealed himself into a statue. Well, as the leader of the Divine Heart Society, which claims to have a million disciples, he can always find someone to help him make arrangements.

"Hao-yo." Shaking off the plaster dust from his body, Yuji Doppo said to Hao-angsheng, "You weren't here first~"

"Gurgle gurgle..." Is this Hao Angsheng's response?

No, this time the sound came from Dobu's side, also inside the glass wall, in the pool in Pico's little room.

Bubbles were rising from the pool, and as they grew larger, another person suddenly stood up from the water, letting out a long breath: "Whoosh—"

"Ah, it's Jack Vanma!" Doppo, Retsu, and Ho Angsho exclaimed in surprise.

As for Kanon's opinion, it was rather unique. She pointed at Jack and said in an innocent... or rather, mocking tone, "Oh, the sewer crocodile."

Before the shock had subsided, after Jack peeked out, a hand emerged from under the bed where Pi Ke hadn't slept at all. This wasn't a ghost, but rather an old... cough cough, not an old ghost, but an old martial arts master!

Shibukawa Takeo climbed out with a smile.

Before everyone could even react to the shock, there was another loud bang as someone kicked open a hole in the outer concrete wall. Katsumi Yuji strode in, saying, "I apologize for the abruptness."

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment, they felt a little awkward.

Hanon was the first to laugh. She had come to see the ancient savages, but she didn't expect to see a "shocking nesting doll" first. One after another, these martial artists sneaked in, undoubtedly falling in love with Pikachu.

"That's scary..." Hanon laughed, then reflected a bit: "If I hadn't experienced the superpower incident a while ago, would I be thinking of fighting Pico now? Ugh, that's so embarrassing."

Provoked by Kanon's laughter, Goji Doppo rolled his eyes and said, "Kanon is right to laugh. We're all old and young, and we're all sneaking over here in the middle of the night to play ninja games. It's so shameful."

Katsumi Yuji smiled and said, "Dad, ninja games are probably not suitable for you. Please don't ruin the great image you have in my heart... Let's go home right away."

Hao Angsheng applauded this statement: "Kesi is right. Please escort Senior Yudi home now. I have some things to do here."

"Hahaha..." Old Mr. Shibukawa laughed as well: "We're all birds of a feather. We're just martial artists who want to sneak in and find someone to fight. Let's not make fun of each other."

The serious Retsu Kaioh then focused on the essential question: "Since everyone is here to fight Pike, then... who will actually go?"

The atmosphere froze instantly.

But the situation didn't remain unresolved for long, because someone soon stepped forward.

Jack Van Mascher is domineering and the most decisive among them. He hasn't said a word since he stood up from the pool, and when others were silent, he was the first to walk towards the tree hole.

Jack kicked the tree trunk, the tree shook, and a yawning sound came from the tree hole.

Pi Ke woke up.

A large foot emerged from the tree hole, stomping heavily on the ground for support, followed by a hand, head, and torso... The warrior from countless ancient times appeared before the martial artist of the 21st century.

Still sleepy.

The dazed Pi didn't look at anyone and walked to the glass wall on his own.

Hanon covered her eyes: "Oh dear, not wearing pants! This is a terrible influence on teenagers!"

And it got even worse! Pico, who had just woken up, yawned and then peed on the glass wall... right in front of everyone.

This nonchalant action shocked everyone again, especially Yuji Doppo, who was inside the wall. Because he was close by and didn't expect Pi Ke to urinate, he got splashed with urine on his face and body... Ugh.

After being released, Pi Ke regained some energy, and his sleepy eyes opened. The first person he looked at was…

It's not Kanon, not Retsu Kaioh, not Koujou, not Doppo Guji, not Katsumi Guji, not Takeki Shibukawa, and not Jack Hanma.

Instead, it was the person who had just walked in beside the wall that Katsumi had broken open—Yujiro Hanma.

"Yo, Pikachu." Yujiro said arrogantly with a smile, "Welcome to the future."

Yujiro has arrived. Is the duel between the "world's strongest creature" and the "warrior from ancient times" about to begin?

Just like Pike urinating in public after waking up, as if no one else was around, Yujiro Hanma strode forward: "The people are all here, but they're just a rabble..." He glanced at Hanon out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself, "She's here too. I could have been looking forward to it, but she has no fighting spirit tonight."

"Get out of the way!" Yujiro was no ordinary man. With his loud shout, several top experts, both inside and outside the glass wall, quickly moved aside.

"I'm going in now~"

Yujiro's face was pressed against the glass wall—bulletproof glass, extremely impact-resistant, putting immense pressure on Yujiro. But Yujiro did not back down at all. Even though his face was already distorted and deformed, looking ferocious and terrifying, the momentum of this "world's strongest creature" did not stop.

If Yujiro doesn't retreat, then the only thing left to retreat is the glass wall.

The wall was bulged, deformed, and cracked under the pressure, forming a human-shaped hole—the very passage through which Yujiro Hanma had entered… The power of the “Giant Fiend” was terrifying indeed!

However, what Hanon found truly terrifying was not the strength: "Hey, doesn't he mind the dirt? That wall was just urinated on by Pi Ke."

Author's Note: As we all know, a gathering of heroes is just a meeting of radishes, everyone's a piece of cake... I'll try to post five updates today, but I don't feel particularly good this afternoon, so I'll eat something and see how it goes.

Section 728, Chapter 720: The Tool

That broken glass wall was where Pike had just urinated; the smell was still strong.

Martial artists have keen senses, and Yujiro Hanma is one of the best among them. He smelled the strange odor after breaking through the wall, but he didn't say anything.

As a master, one must have perfect control over tone and maintain a high level of sophistication. At Pike's age, and Yujiro's, their tongues can be deadly; some can talk but others can't listen, and they'll be in deep trouble. He has to consider all that (pats face). Ah—cough, the above is Kanon's speculation about Yujiro's inner thoughts, but her observation is quite meticulous. She noticed Yujiro sniffled and his facial muscles twitched slightly, so he probably wasn't feeling too well.

"Yujiro, you've finally met your match, ^_^ haha." Kanon didn't say it, but she was quite happy inside. This trip was worthwhile; she saw many scenes that made the ticket price worthwhile.

Of course, only Kanon, who was indifferent to the situation, had the leisure to think about funny things. Everyone else looked at Yujiro and Pike face to face with serious expressions. The two super strong people from the past and present, who were separated by billions of years, were about to collide here.

Yujiro Hanma wasn't one to mince words. As everyone expected, he extended his fist towards Pike: "Everyone who came here tonight, including me, is here to fight you..." He continued, ignoring Pike's possibility of not understanding, "I believe you understand this feeling. In ancient times, if you only needed to fill your stomach, you had many choices, so why did you hunt what was arguably the strongest Tyrannosaurus Rex? Fighting such a behemoth must have been exhausting! Your reason should be the same as mine... because it's fun."

As Yujiro spoke, he slowly pushed his fist toward Pike, and a strong aura rose up, making Pike feel a lot of pressure.

"Goo?" Pico didn't understand human language, but under the pressure of Yujiro's aura, he also reached out and blocked the other's fist, and so the contest of strength began.

"Gurgle!" With Yujiro's incredible strength, in that instant, Pike seemed to see an ancient ferocious beast baring its teeth and opening its huge mouth to devour him.

However... the term "ancient ferocious beast" is a figurative expression for ordinary people, but it is a concrete term for Pi Ke, who has many memories of hunting ancient ferocious beasts.

So Pike wasn't panicked at all; instead, he grinned and showed a smile.

He took a step forward.

This was just a small step, like a leisurely stroll, and seemed unremarkable.

But this was a step forward taken under pressure from Yujiro Hanma.

"Boom!" "Crack!" Two sounds rang out, one after the other. The first sound came from Yujiro. Pike took a step forward, and Yujiro was pushed back a step. Behind him was the glass wall. He had just walked in from outside the wall and was now pushed back, his back pressed against the wall.

Kanon rolled her eyes: "Well, at least we broke in from the other side earlier, but now Yujiro is really stuck to the side that was peed on."

But that's not what Yujiro cares about.

The second sound came from Pike. The moment Yujiro's back hit the wall, a strange force emanated from his fist. It was a high-level control over the flow of power, almost at the highest level of Aikido. Although it was not as free as Shibukawa's Goki, it was similar to the level that Kanon usually mastered. He twisted Pike around in a circle, lifting his feet off the ground and turning 360 degrees before he sat down on the ground.

Yujiro, having succeeded in his attack, was instead stunned: "This guy... actually forced me, Yujiro Hanma, to use my technique..."

Yujiro Hanma's fighting style is the ultimate physical style, but this is merely his personal preference and does not mean he lacks technical skills. On the contrary, as a martial arts genius with extraordinary physical attributes, Yujiro can quickly master any technique. Over decades of accumulation, he has become a veritable encyclopedia of martial arts, capable of displaying a kaleidoscope of offensive and defensive skills when necessary—unfortunately, very few people can force him to use his full strength.

This is proof of Pike's strength.

This powerful ancient warrior, though thrown by Yujiro, was completely unharmed—not even a flicker of emotion stirred within him—and stood up nonchalantly.

Pike made a very simple movement, yet it attracted the attention of everyone present. His movement was full of coordination, the most natural and wild expression of human muscles, representing the vigorous vitality of ancient creatures, beautiful and dazzling.

"Ah..." Doppo exclaimed sincerely, "With such an existence right before our eyes, how can we leave empty-handed?"

The old martial god's sentiments were shared by everyone—except for Hanon, but no one paid attention to her at the moment; they were all staring at Pikachu.

A great battle is about to break out, and everyone is ready to make a move, perhaps not against Pike, but against their "partners" who also want to fight Pike.

"STOP!" A few seconds later, what was finally heard was not a shout to start a fight, but a voice in English.

The sound came from a loudspeaker located outdoors at the US military base. Katsumi Kuji kicked open the wall, and Yujiro Hanma swaggered in. Their blatant behavior rendered the secret infiltration of others meaningless. The US military reacted quickly, mobilized troops, and surrounded the area.

Of course, the American commander didn't know who was inside the house; he only knew that Yujiro had "openly" invaded: "Mr. Yujiro, please come out of the house immediately. That's all for tonight! This building is completely surrounded!"

"Oh? You've got guts, daring to shout at me." Yujiro tilted his head and listened for a few seconds, looking completely unconcerned—in reality, none of the people in the room considered the American troops a threat; they all remained calm. On the contrary, it was a bit of a pity that the shout had disrupted the atmosphere, and the grand plan to challenge Pike was put on hold.

"What a disappointment... I'll handle it." Yujiro strode outside. He was familiar with the American soldiers and figured the people outside weren't the kind who didn't know what was good for them—even if they were, he wasn't afraid; he could just slap them to death.

As Yujiro passed by Kanon, he glanced at her and noticed that Kanon's face showed no regret for not being able to fight Pikachu, only disgust—disgust that Yujiro had some Pikachu's urine on him and smelled bad.

"You...you haven't been behaving right." Yujiro frowned slightly. Because it was Kanon, he couldn't help but criticize her: "You've already become the Sea Emperor, so why is your fighting spirit still so low?"

"Mind your own business! I'm just here to watch the fun, not to fight." Hanon retorted, glaring back at Yujiro.

"Don't want to fight Pikachu?" Apart from Retsu Kaioh, no one else knew Kanon's attitude, and they all showed surprised expressions.

Hanon became the center of attention, and for a moment she was a little embarrassed, scratching her head: "Hey, there are too many monks and not enough porridge here. Not everyone can fight with Pike. Don't look at me with such strange eyes!"

With a quick glance, Hanon suddenly had an idea: "Hey—I say, everyone, since you all want to fight Pikachu but can't decide who's qualified, why don't we have a competition?"
