"You are a top figure in the martial arts world, yet you act so despicably. Your virtue is unworthy of your position, and you will surely suffer calamity!"

"Pooh!"

"Disgusting, disgusting!"

In an instant, all sorts of insults and words of disappointment poured towards Hanon. In the midst of the crowd's agitation, it was difficult for people to consider what benefit it would bring to Hanon to disrupt Katsumi's final attack. In any case, they had already set their stance, so they assumed that Hanon was afraid that Katsumi would defeat Pike after mastering his ultimate technique, thereby shaking her position as the number one young martial artist. Doesn't that make sense?

"shut up!"

Under the scorn of everyone, Kanon finally had to bear it all alone... But faced with the barrage of insults, Goji Doppo spoke up to defend Kanon.

Dubu is the former head of the Shenxin Society, the master and even grandmaster of 55,000 Shenxin Society disciples. Just now, he was the one who led the rebuke of Huayin. His "betrayal" immediately suppressed the entire audience. Everyone in the stands was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?

After stopping everyone, Yuji Doppo turned around and bowed deeply to Hanon: "Just now, I was protesting to you from the perspective of a father and my own child. Now, I am expressing my heartfelt gratitude to you, Miss Ye, from the perspective of a parent."

Hana blushed and said, "I am ashamed and do not deserve such praise. I taught Brother Katsumi to learn the 'Supersonic Fist'. If he loses his arm because of me, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life."

It turns out that Kanon rushed into the arena with water to stop Katsumi's ultimate "Super Speed ​​Punch". In her "Demon Exorcism" state, she discovered that the principle by which the pistol shrimp protects itself after launching its super water cannon could be applied to the principles of punching. That's how she created a simplified safety environment: a large stream of water instantly enveloped Katsumi's punch, reducing the power of the sonic boom. At the same time, Kanon extended her "indestructible" arm as a human airflow deflector, sharing some of the wind pressure with Katsumi's arm.

The power of the "Supersonic Punch" was immense. Katsumi's self-sacrificing attack was comparable to Kanon's "Valkyrie Mode" when she took on Yujiro Hanma's "God of Slaughter" head-on. Moreover, the attack was lightning fast. Even though Kanon arrived immediately, she could only ensure that Katsumi's arm was not completely destroyed. The ultimate "Supersonic Punch" still struck Pike, causing massive damage to both of them. The disrupted wind pressure split off, with one part continuing to rush towards Katsumi's arm and wreak havoc, while the other part transformed from the blades that cut through the arm into blunt force punches that struck Katsumi's face, stunning him and sending him flying.

Katsumi hesitated between "a fleeting moment of glory" and "eternal loss," ultimately choosing the former. Guji Doppo attacked Kanon out of anger that Kanon had disrupted Katsumi's choice, while his gratitude towards Kanon stemmed from her saving Katsumi's arm and extending his life as a martial artist. The underlying reasons were complex, understood only by a handful of people present. Since Kanon and Guji Doppo didn't offer explanations, the disciples of the Shinshin-kai were left with no choice but to abandon their contemplation.

Forget it, both the old master and Ye Huayin are too unfathomable. Let's focus on the young master's injuries.

Actually, they didn't need to worry about it. They could raise their own child themselves. After thanking Hana, Yuji Doppo tore off a piece of his shirt to bandage Katsumi's wound, then picked up his adopted son and walked off the field.

The medical staff outside the venue had been preparing for a long time, including the legendary healer Hao Hongye, who was ready to treat Keji's injury immediately: "His arm is seriously injured, very seriously... but the situation is not hopeless. I will stake my pride as a doctor on doing everything I can to save Keji's arm!"

"Thank you, Dr. Ho." Yuji Doppo bowed again to Homoyo, then touched the forehead of the unconscious Katsumi: "My child, you must be strong, the road ahead is long..."

Having said that, the old martial god disregarded whether Keji had heard him or not, stood up, and walked straight back to the arena.

Pi was already awake, standing up with tears in his eyes.

Author's Note: Sorry, I know. Needless to say, today's update is really super late. The situation has been really special lately. I will try my best to ensure updates in the next few days. If I need to take a day off, I will let you know in advance. Please bear with me. There will be another update in a little while.

Section 759, Chapter 751: The Failed Interview

Interviewer: Mr. Seta, a director from a small local Tokyo television station, who is somewhat well-known in the industry for his special program, "The Modern Yakuza: Men Hungry for Blood, Violence, and Money."

Topic: Modern Martial Arts vs. Ancient Bestiality?! The Mysterious Inside Story Behind the Sending of Primitive Human Skin to Japan for Research

Date: February 11th

Location: Headquarters of the Divine Heart Society

Interviewee: A mid-level disciple of the Shenxin Society

"Oh, you're asking what happened on the day Pike and the young master fought? I didn't expect even the TV station heard about it... The master and the young master clearly instructed everyone not to tell anyone, because the head instructor of the Last Hall will be furious if he finds out! But then again, it won't be easy to keep this a secret. There were over 55,000 people watching the fight, including our Divine Heart Society disciples and some unrelated people. Anyone could have leaked the news... Alright, for the sake of our friendship and the interview fee, I'll just tell you briefly."

"Back then, our old master, the legendary 'God of War' Oji Doppo, walked back to the arena alone to face Pike. Guess what Pike was doing? He was actually crying! This guy who was supposed to be invincible was actually brought to tears by our young master, Oji Katsumi… Alas, I later heard from my fellow disciples sitting near the main stage that Dr. Payne explained to Tokugawa: 'Pike was just resting. He doesn't understand what the arena is. For him, victory and defeat are simply about eating and being eaten. Whether fighting in the underground arena of Tokyo Dome or the surface arena, for Pike, everything happens in nature. So after taking Oji Katsumi's heavy blow, he didn't need to immediately pursue, but chose to enter a state of slumber and rest. When he gets up again, he only needs to chase the scent of blood to hunt down a severely injured opponent. You see Pike crying? He's saying goodbye to a powerful enemy!'"

“Listen to this, although the young master couldn’t defeat that savage, he’s at least a strongman that Pike acknowledges. I heard that only guys like Tyrannosaurus Rex can gain Pike’s recognition~ Hmph, what’s with that expression? Don’t believe me? Think I’m exaggerating? Do you know what it’s like when 55,000 people kneel down to pray for the young master? Later, when we heard that the young master’s arm was saved, we were all moved to tears!”

"Ahem, let's get back to the standoff between the old master and Pike. Realizing that the prey's bloody scent had left him, Pike woke up from his rest and went to eat the young master, but the old master stood in his way. A battle between the two super strongmen was about to break out when Miss Ye suddenly stepped between them."

"What? Which Miss Ye? Ye Huayin! You don't know her? Hehehe, I can't help but laugh at your ignorance. Which martial artist in the inner world hasn't heard of her name? Even the strongest martial artist in the outer world must know her legend. Beautiful and powerful, Ye Huayin, forever a goddess~"

"Ah, I've digressed... Back then, Miss Ye stopped the old master and said, 'Uncle Yudi, although you also participated in that peculiar speed race, and it seems like it's your turn to clash with Pike, I can't allow you to do that.' The old master naturally asked why, and Miss Ye continued, 'I've figured it out! Pike's existence is a powerful temptation for most of the world's top martial artists. As long as he exists, he will attract martial artists to his side to challenge him. This is something that the few who participated in the previous speed race can't monopolize. And as martial artists continue to challenge Pike, the casualties will definitely increase. Even strong ones like Brother Lie and Brother Ke are seriously injured, and others might lose their lives...'"

"'So I'll do it! I'll defeat Pike and break this mental barrier for all martial artists!' Miss Ye said at the end. I simply can't describe her expression then, it was so sacred! I will remember it for the rest of my life!"

"When Miss Ye made those bold words, the whole audience was in an uproar. Yes, yes, that's the look of disbelief on your face. Dr. Payne looked the same way back then. That's the ignorance of an outsider. After Miss Ye said those words, even our old master acknowledged her and voluntarily gave up the opportunity to fight Pikachu. Even Pikachu, who doesn't understand human speech, stood still and didn't rush to attack, which was completely different from his previous behavior."

"Miss Ye then addressed Dr. Payne: 'Doctor, I respect your research and I respect Piccolo, but letting him run around outside is very irresponsible! If I can defeat Piccolo, his sacred status in the hearts of martial artists will cease to exist, and the number of people challenging him will greatly decrease. I also hope that you can take good care of him and guide him to experience modern human society.'"

"Tsk tsk, look at her, as expected of Miss Ye, she speaks with such magnanimity... Eh? You ask me who will win? Emotionally, I naturally support Miss Ye! But rationally, I can't judge. Pike's strength is obvious to all, but Miss Ye is also an unparalleled master, representing the highest level of modern martial arts. There will definitely be a fierce battle between the two of them!"

Date: February 12th

Location: A coffee shop

Interviewee: Naoya Okubo, world champion in kickboxing and ultimate fighting event.

"Oh? How do you know about Hana-on? Hehe, yes, we're pretty close... but we're not a couple! You can't spread rumors like this. If it gets out that I said it, Hana-on will give me a good beating. Hmm, I'm actually a little scared~ Hahaha."

"Seriously, whatever rumors you've heard before, they're probably even weaker than Ye Huayin's actual strength. She... is extremely, extremely, extremely strong. I once participated in a fighting competition in a certain otherworld and unfortunately lost to a super strong person... no, not Xiao Huayin, but the strong person who defeated me was later defeated by her. I was mesmerized by that match; she was just too powerful."

"Later, Xiaohuayin participated in other competitions and won the championship. I heard she even received the highest honor in the Chinese martial arts world. With her age and talent, she must have improved a lot. I really want to spar with her; maybe I'll get a really bad beating~"

"Wow? So Hanane is going to challenge that ape-man Pike from TV? I didn't know that was going on. I definitely have to watch it live! Hanane is practically the pinnacle of modern human combat, so it's quite fitting for her to fight Pike... Hmm, will she get hurt? She might get really hurt, after all, that caveman is obviously super strong. But Hanane has faced many strong opponents along the way, so I think she has a better chance of winning."

"Alright, alright, I need to hurry up and tell my friends this news. This is a big event that we can't miss. Let's end the interview here for today."

Date: February 13th

Location: A gym

Interviewee: Mr. J, the legendary master of the underworld fighting world and the street fighter of Canada.

"What! Ye Huayin is going to challenge Pike! She clearly said she didn't care about fighting Pike... Damn it, what if she defeats the caveman first? No, I have to beat her to it!"

"Damn it, what interview nonsense, get out of my way!"

"Bang—Ah!"

Time: Night of February 13th

Location: The office of the director of a small local TV station in Tokyo

Spokesperson: Station Director

"Seta, hehehe, your spirit in conducting interviews is commendable, but this article is simply too absurd to be believed. Let's change the subject. All the videos and such have been deleted."

"What? You got beaten up? Young man, if you bumped into a tree while walking, don't report it as a work injury. I'll personally sponsor you 100,000 yen out of humanitarian considerations. You can go home and take a few days of paid leave. It doesn't matter if we don't have time to film new material, we can just broadcast the old programs."

"I...I didn't take bribes or get pressured by powerful people! Don't slander me out of thin air! I'll fire you right now! Anyway, you should go back home and take a vacation. Don't think about these things. Think about your wife and kids, and don't do anything foolish..."

"call……"

"Beep beep... Hello, is this President Nogi? It's me. Everything's taken care of. All the interview materials have been destroyed. You can trust me with my work; there's no need for you to call and confirm... Yes, yes, we will definitely ensure that the existence of the Kengan Association remains confidential, and we will certainly follow President Takakaze's instructions to protect Ms. Kanon's privacy! Oh, no, hehehe, you flatter me. It's an honor to serve such important people as you. No need for thanks~ Just give the word, President Nogi, and I will do my utmost, even unto death~"

"Phew... things are finally over. Seta and his gang are really something. Before, they were investigating modern-day yakuza, and now they've even gotten their hands on the Kengan Association. They almost got us all killed."

"Speaking of which, I really want to go and watch the fight between Miss Kanon and Pikachu live. It's sure to be super exciting!"

Author's Note: This chapter is quite long, so it's a little something to give back to everyone~ This is all I can manage for now.

Section 760, Chapter 752: Pike, the Fearful Battle

Pico sat back down in the ring of the Tokyo Dome underground arena all by himself.

If this were a novel, the main perspective would likely have been focused on Piccolo recently, not for any other reason than that Piccolo has been the center of this world for the past period of time.

The idea of ​​a primitive human unexpectedly traveling to the modern era is incredibly captivating. Like a plot from a movie, TV series, or novel, the clash between ancient instincts and modern civilization, along with their different worldviews, ways of thinking, and even physiological structures, is full of fascinating topics…

In fact, all of this is relative.

Modern people observe Piccolo, and Piccolo observes modern people in return. Although he spends most of his time holed up in research institutes, US military bases, or the Tokyo Dome arena, Piccolo is genuinely trying to understand these little guys. In just these few places, he has seen many things he cannot comprehend, which is why Piccolo is content to stay put. As for that vast world he once glimpsed—filled with enormous, multicolored "trees" and "hard-skinned beasts" that roam the plains and can be eaten simply by smashing them—that will have to wait until Piccolo has thoroughly understood his current environment before he can explore it slowly.

Of all the scenarios he'd experienced, Pike's favorite was this arena. Sitting here, he could not only constantly eat meat, but also encounter many powerful and interesting opponents. There was the small guy with ever-changing moves, like a cunning and agile velociraptor; the big guy, even wider and stronger than him, with the strength of a brontosaurus; and the small guy who could deliver devastating blows, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex biting with its sharp teeth. Honestly, after his recent fight with the small guy, Pike felt like his insides were burning, in excruciating pain, and he howled in a secluded place for ages!

Of all the creatures Pike encountered, the one he couldn't understand the most was the female.

The female had a pleasant scent, similar to floral fragrance, which would have made her easily detectable by insects and wild animals in ancient times.

The female had no sharp teeth or claws, so she would have had a hard time defending against powerful enemies in ancient times.

The female's skin was too delicate and would have been destroyed by wind and sand in ancient times.

Despite the fact that the female was so fragile, Pike had doubts about her twice—doubts, concerns, doubts that the female was too powerful, and therefore concerns about whether to attack her.

The first time was after Pike knocked down the ever-changing little guy, the fragrant female stood between the two, allowing Pike to see the scorching "red water" and dare not approach.

The second time was when Pike wanted to hunt down the small, aggressive creature, the fragrant female once again stood between the two. This time, Pike saw "blue water" instead of "red water".

Like the "Red Water," the "Blue Water" was also a nightmare that Piccolo encountered when exploring the ancient world. Because he was invincible and could hunt any creature, Piccolo once traveled endlessly in one direction, hunting wild animals to survive. Piccolo thought he would reach the end of the world, or that this journey would never end, but in the end, he saw the boundless "Blue Water."

Unlike common flowing water, the "blue water" was fixed, hard, and cold. Pi walked for a long time on the road covered with "blue water," not only becoming icy cold and his hands and feet cracking, but also finding very little food, making it impossible for him to maintain his strength. In the end, he had no choice but to turn back dejectedly. If Pi hadn't been cautious enough to turn back early, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape that vast, seemingly endless pool of "blue water"!

"Blue water" is actually ice. Pico had actually traveled to the Arctic and seen the frozen ocean in the extreme cold...

In short, Pi saw two of his past fears in Hanon: he was so frightened that he couldn't launch an attack twice, and he also missed out on the flesh and blood of powerful beings that were right in front of him twice.

As a result, Pico felt some negative emotions, which were rare for him. It wasn't the pain of being injured by his opponent, but something less direct that made him feel uneasy, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.

For Pico, this was not a very happy first experience.

Ah, if time could turn back, and I could choose again, I would definitely muster the courage to launch my fiercest attack on that "water-like female"!

However, it won't be long before the battle between that female and himself begins.

Pike doesn't understand modern language and can't comprehend the conversation between Kanon, Dr. Payne, and Doppo. However, he's not stupid, and his combat skills surpass everyone else's. When Kanon declared that he would fight Pike, everyone's attention was drawn to him. The fighting spirit and killing intent emanating from Kanon made Pike forget about hunting Doppo.

He was initially afraid that after being severely injured by the smaller man in front of him, he might be in poor condition and face the female, and that he might lose.

Then, thankfully, after Hanon left, Pico realized that the other party did not intend to start a war with him directly.

Then came self-blame and anger: how could I be afraid of a female who posed no threat?

Finally, there is excitement and anticipation. Okay, if you want to fight, then let's fight.
