"A contest?" Even Yujiro raised an eyebrow, listening intently to Kanon's words—although Kanon was young, her status in the martial arts world was undeniable, and no one could ignore the plan she had seriously proposed.

“Yes, a competition doesn’t mean a free-for-all among us. That would damage the harmony of the martial arts world.” Tonight, Hanon has taken her love of a good show to the extreme: “Since this house is surrounded by American troops, let’s use them as tools—each of us will use our own abilities to escape the encirclement, and the Tokyo Dome underground arena will be the destination. The order in which we fight Pike will be determined by the sequence of our escapes. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Of course, if we can’t escape, we shouldn’t even think about fighting Pike, because we’ll probably be spending the next few months in jail.”

Author's Note: Sorry it's late again. I'm not feeling well today. There will definitely be another update later. As for whether I can finish five updates, I'll try my best.

Section 729, Chapter 721: Each Has Their Own Way Out

"Mr. Fanma, I'm sorry to interrupt your fun!"

As Yujiro Hanma walked out of the house where Piccolo lived, an American officer ran up and gave him a respectful salute: "I am Lieutenant Colonel Henry of the 2nd Company, 301st Infantry Regiment."

Yujiro smiled slightly: "Oh? You're being quite polite to me, an illegal intruder~"

“To be honest, the US military here doesn’t have the capability to arrest you.” Lieutenant Colonel Henry’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and his voice trembled slightly. “It is a great honor to meet the legendary Mr. Van Ma…”

"Alright." Yujiro interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Henry. The first part of Henry's statement was definitely true, but the second part was most likely a lie. Yujiro was arrogant as he was, but not blindly so. He could see the situation clearly. This lieutenant colonel was only trying to negotiate because he couldn't do anything to him: "Given the current situation, what are you going to do?"

“Please listen to me…” Lieutenant Colonel Henry took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down.

This action surprised Yujiro, who listened attentively to what he had to say. Lieutenant Colonel Henry said, "Phiko is an important asset to the whole world and all mankind. He is a living legend and a treasure. Please let him go!"

“…Okay.” Yujiro seems unusually easy to talk to tonight! But there’s still a condition: “But I have a condition: there are eight other people in the house besides Pike. Go in and arrest them now.”

"Huh? There are eight more!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry was shocked. He had been informed that two people had broken into Pike's room, one of whom was "the fiercest" Yujiro Hanma. He didn't expect Yujiro to say there were eight more, not counting him and Pike.

Yujiro curled his lip and laughed, "Yes, eight people, and all of them are top-notch. You American soldiers can't do anything to them, but I want you to do your best to surround, capture, and delay them, and prolong their time to break out."

"Ah, this..."

"You don't want to?"

"No! We dare disobey Mr. Van Ma's orders!"

"Very good." Seeing Lieutenant Colonel Henry begin to direct the soldiers to move out, Yujiro smiled and left the US military base. His last words were: "Although it's unlikely, if you're lucky enough to catch the people inside... don't kill them, just detain them for a few months. After all, their purpose isn't sabotage or theft, they're just here to say hello to Pike, like me."

I still remember leaving behind this sentence: Yujiro, you are so kind!

However, in Pike's room, Yujiro received a completely different evaluation.

"Yujiro, you're so despicable!" Kanon rolled her eyes and kept complaining, and the others in the room felt the same way.

Hanon's proposal was approved by everyone. This kind of competition, which could not hurt feelings and allowed everyone to show their skills, was interesting and effective. Unexpectedly, Yujiro walked out of the room as soon as he heard the proposal. Not only did he leave the US military base unharmed, but he also arranged for the US military to launch a strong attack, which tricked the others.

"Tch, they were already that powerful, and now they have the US military helping them delay us... We need to hurry!" Katsumi said through gritted teeth.

“Brother Katsumi is such an honest man.” Hana pointed behind him: “Everyone knows! Look, Jack is gone.”

"What!" Katsumi exclaimed in surprise. He turned around and saw that the tall Jack was no longer behind him, only the pool was filled with bubbling water.

Jack came and went in a hurry this time, and didn't even say a complete sentence the whole time. He's been getting involved with Dr. Yingchu lately, and maybe he's developed some powerful techniques for human modification. It's quite intriguing to think about. Although it's an unorthodox approach in the martial arts field, powerful is powerful, and it's still worth considering.

Just like Jack's departure, it has pointed out a clear path for everyone: a direct conflict with the US military, regardless of the outcome, would definitely take a lot of time, while the pipes under the pool, which even Jack could pass through, are obviously a good retreat route.

"Swish swish swish—" Hao Angsheng suddenly threw punches, extended his fingers, and kicked, launching three or four attacks in a row, forcing the people around him to move aside. Then he slipped into the room and jumped into the pool.

After all, he was one of the younger people in the house, quick-witted and full of fighting spirit, and he was the first to think of seizing the passage to the pool.

But when Hao Angsheng jumped into the water, a large amount of bubbles suddenly surged up in the pool, bubbling and rolling for five or six seconds. Finally, under the puzzled and shocked gazes of the crowd, Hao Angsheng came out of the water again—he had been knocked unconscious and thrown out!

It seems Jack wasn't in a hurry to retreat, but instead had ambush his successors in the water.

“Jack is a cunning fellow, just like his father.” Shibukawa shook his head and leaned over the edge of the pool, dipping his head into the water. Despite his age and glasses, the old man was a surprisingly good swimmer. After observing for a moment, he stood up and said, “Jack is gone, but he also sabotaged the pool’s pipes.”

Well, it seems the best escape route is gone again, and the US military has already begun to approach the room at a considerable speed.

"Damn it, looks like I have no choice but to go for it!" Katsumi Oji frowned, getting into a fighting stance and preparing to rush out the door to fight.

“Son, don’t be so reckless.” Doppo shook his head: “Even if the American troops outside have changed their tranquilizer darts because Yujiro ordered them to, it is still unwise to fight the army with a few people.”

The old martial god pointed upwards, where the path that Huayin, Liehaiwang, and Hao Angsheng had taken when they infiltrated was visible: "As for the retreat route, isn't there another one over there?"

The route involved going up to the roof via a pipe, then ziplining from the roof to a higher building, and finally finding a way out of the US military base. The path was quite long, but there would definitely be far fewer soldiers along the way. Katsumi, having received his father's guidance, suddenly understood: "You're right!" He and Doppo then jumped up one after the other.

As the Yudi father and son left along the roof pipes, Liehaiwang also leaned close to Huayin: "Yehaihuang, let's break through along the same route."

"Please wait a moment." Hanon waved to Retsu, then her hand shot forward like lightning and grabbed Shibukawa Takeki, who was silently walking toward the pipe: "Shibukawa-sensei, you don't need to rush."

Shibukawa turned around angrily: "Kanane, the encirclement is tightening, what are you waiting for?" But he stopped in his tracks. Kanane was a clever girl, maybe she really had a better plan?

Kanon definitely exists!

Kanon, Retsu Kaioh, Shibukawa Goki, Guji Doppo, Guji Katsumi, Jack, and Hoshino—that's seven people. But what did Hanma Yujiro just say to Lieutenant Colonel Henry? There are eight people in the room besides Pike!

What else is hidden in this house? Coincidentally, Kanon has recently been training her intuition to fight against superpowers, and with her already unparalleled martial arts skills, she has already sensed the person's location.

Rising from the ground, Hanon used "Unpredictable Transformation" to leap upwards at lightning speed, just like when she competed in rock climbing with the second-generation Sukuna in Kyoto. In a second, she arrived at the top of the big tree where Pico lived, and swung "Finger Razor" diagonally, "Whoosh!"

The "tree trunk" was peeled open, revealing the person inside.

"As expected of Miss Ye, so amazing!" Bald, in military uniform, with sparse features, he was none other than the environmental warfare master and super soldier, Kaiya.

Author's Note: I'm having a terrible day, my head is spinning and my thoughts are all jumbled up. I can only manage four updates for now. Please forgive me.

Section 730, Chapter 722: Confusing Human Behavior

As a warrior and soldier, Kaiya has been keeping an eye on Pike's movements all along. Now that Kanon has exposed his whereabouts, he has no choice but to awkwardly jump down from the tree trunk.

"Hello everyone." Besides Kanon, there were also Retsu Kaioh, Shibukawa Goki, and Pikachu, oh, and the unconscious Hokage. Kaeya also greeted them.

"This is not the time for formalities." Shibukawa got straight to the point: "With the American forces approaching, it's certainly a good thing that Kaia has joined the fray, but how do you plan to break through, Hanane?"

"That depends on Kaeya." Hanon chuckled, reaching out to pull off Kaeya's headscarf and examining him closely. "As a master of environmental combat, you must have some emergency supplies on you, right?"

Kaiya was speechless. He didn't dare to make a move even though Kanon took his headscarf. He had been defeated in a direct confrontation before, and now his disguise had been seen through. Kaiya had no way to deal with Kanon and respected her a lot.

"Well, since it's an infiltration operation, I didn't bring much. Besides camouflage gear, I only had some small parts, like acid, concealed weapons, smoke grenades, tranquilizers, knives, whistles, signal jammers, GPS..."

"That's enough, that's enough." Hanon felt like she was about to turn into a facepalm meme. Sure enough, everyone has their own specialty. Carrying all this stuff with her, while Kaeya said she didn't have much stuff? "Smoke grenades and camouflage stickers are enough."

At this moment, more than a hundred American soldiers with guns had already pressed against the door. Lieutenant Colonel Henry shouted, "Those inside, please surrender obediently, raise your hands and come out, and we will guarantee your safety." In addition, thinking that the people inside were all "top-notch experts," he pushed the blame onto Yujiro: "This is Mr. Hanma's idea, we had no choice but to do it... Sorry for the inconvenience."

After waiting a few seconds and seeing no sound from inside, Lieutenant Colonel Henry waved his hand, signaling for the soldiers to charge.

The assault team members nodded, kicked open the door with a "thump," and rushed in. The first wave of six or seven people entered the room. Once inside, they heard a burst of gunfire, followed by several screams of agony. After only two or three seconds, they fell silent.

"It seems there are indeed experts inside, and their resistance is very resolute." This outcome was expected, Lieutenant Colonel Henry waved his hand again, and a second wave of combat squads of more than ten men charged in, while a third wave of even more soldiers followed, ready to replenish the losses at any time—these were all well-trained soldiers with amazing physical abilities and armed with powerful firearms. With so many coming at once, the small room was difficult to maneuver; even the most formidable experts would have to put in some effort… Hmm? What’s that?

Before the second wave of soldiers could all rush into the building, something rushed out of it, but it wasn't a person; instead, it was a cloud of smoke that quickly filled the entire parade ground, obscuring the view.

"Huh? Martial artists also have smoke grenades?" Lieutenant Colonel Henry was taken aback. Just as he was about to order everyone to put on their gas masks, some people had already charged out under the cover of smoke.

The smoke was thick, and the American soldiers couldn't see the approaching person clearly. They only knew that the person was incredibly fast, and within a second, they heard the sound of three or five people falling to the ground.

"Aaaaaah, you devils!" Some soldiers couldn't withstand the pressure and started firing wildly. However, there were over a hundred American soldiers present, but only a handful of warriors rushed out, perhaps only one or at most three. These bullets turned into friendly fire, and tranquilizer darts felled a group of American soldiers.

"Cease fire! Cease fire!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry shouted. How could he have such a rookie under his command? His indiscriminate firing was far too reckless: "Stop firing randomly, everyone put on your gas masks..."

Kaeya's smoke grenade was effective, lasting for a full half minute, but the smoke eventually reached the playground and dissipated with the wind.

"Bang!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry, wearing a gas mask, stood at the door of the hut and fired a shot into the air, silencing his soldiers: "What's the panic? They've all run away!"

The soldiers peered into the room and, sure enough, only Pi Ke stood there looking completely bewildered, even scratching his head in a rather adorable manner. The rest of the room contained only a bed, a sink, and a bookshelf, with no one else inside... Oh, and there was one more person, Hao Angsheng, who was lying unconscious on the ground, ignored by everyone.

"These people must have escaped through the roof pipes. Everyone, go to the end of the pipes and surround them!" Lieutenant Colonel Henry ordered.

"Yes, Sir!"

The American soldiers obeyed orders and left one after another. Lieutenant Colonel Henry then pointed to a few more people: "You, you, and you, stay with me to clean up the mess, treat the wounded, and take this unconscious intruder away."

“Yes, Sir!” Three American soldiers who were called on saluted in response.

The army's execution was very strong. Soon the soldiers rushed to the location where the pipes were connected, and in less than two minutes, the sounds of gunfire and men shouting could be heard from there.

As for Piccolo's cabin, Lieutenant Colonel Henry and the three medics only took Hao Angsheng away; the rest of the American soldiers lying on the ground were not treated. And Piccolo, the ancient being, was left all alone on the spot. That Lieutenant Colonel Henry was quite eccentric; he didn't even arrange for anyone to look after him!

Standing in the dilapidated hut, Pike's head was full of questions, completely bewildered by what had happened... These little people are so strange, what were they doing just now?

Hmm, there's too much information and too many actions for Pi to understand at all. To him, the actions of Hanon and the others, as well as the US soldiers, were all "baffling human behavior."

The bewildered Pico walked to the bed and squatted down—he had never slept in this bed before. Could it be that he had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to experience the civilized products of his descendants?

No, Pi reached under the bed and pulled out... uh, a floor tile?

Cough, the floor tiles were just a disguise sticker for Kaiya. Pico poked at it again, and the sticker was peeled off, revealing a person wearing only underwear underneath—Lieutenant Colonel Henry!

Didn't he just leave?

Then Piccolo poked and prodded around the room, finding three more American soldiers who had also had their uniforms stripped off.

Pike: "Goo?"

Pi didn't understand, but any normal person would know that the "Lieutenant Colonel Henry" and the "three American soldiers cleaning up the mess" who just left were Kanon, Shibukawa Goki, Retsu Kaioh, and Kaiya. They also took Ho Angsheng with them, preventing him from becoming a prisoner.

Instead of going to the confinement room or the infirmary, the group took a detour and left the base through a side door.

"So Miss Ye is also a master of voice! I'm truly impressed!" Upon arriving at the safe zone, Kaiya removed her gas mask and once again expressed her admiration for "Lieutenant Colonel Hana Henry's Voice." Hana had just used the smoke to her advantage, her swift and deadly strikes were to be expected, but what was even more impressive was her ability to accurately mimic other people's voices. Even the American soldier shouting and firing wildly was actually Hana in disguise, designed to lure Lieutenant Colonel Henry into speaking in the smoke to pinpoint his location.

"Just a trick, nothing more than precise muscle control. Without your smoke grenades and camouflage stickers, we wouldn't have gotten away so easily." Kanon also removed her gas mask, looked at her companions who had rushed out with her, and laughed, "Now's not the time for mutual flattery. This race ends at the Tokyo Dome! We have a car; if we hurry, we might even be faster than Yujiro Hanma!"

There are definitely no subways or buses running around the US military base! Even the powerful father-son pairs, Hanma and Yuji, would have to find a way to get back to Tokyo after breaking through, while Kanon and Retsu Kaioh arrived in the Eagle Wind family's luxury car, which was very convenient.

However, it was just a car after all. Hanon and the driver sat in the front, while Retsu Kaioh, Shibukawa Goki, Kaiya, and Honoka were squeezed in the back. The four great masters were crammed together, with an unconscious wounded person lying across their knees. The scene was too beautiful... Hanon laughed all the way while looking in the rearview mirror.

That night, I saw so many interesting things!
