For a moment, Hanon was at a loss for words, almost unable to contain her emotions. But in the end, the emotion of lamenting Jack's death prevailed. She still put on a serious face, stretched out her palm to Pike, clenched her fist in the air, and at the same time, a strong killing intent emanated from her, showing her determination not to show weakness.

Although Pi is a caveman, he's quite adept at exchanging harsh words and hyping up the atmosphere before a fight! Provocation is provocation. Pi, who was slightly injured by Jack, was not willing to start a fight immediately. After exchanging glances with Kanon for a few seconds, he left, leaving only Kanon, Homoyo, and Eiichi facing Jack's "corpse".

"Brother Jack..." Facing this old friend who could hardly be called a friend, Hanon's mood turned somber. Regardless of their personal relationship, Jack's death was a great loss to the modern fighting world. His fierce and persistent fighting style, steel teeth, iron fists, and ultimate perseverance—all these characteristics would never be inherited. His legacy would be lost forever, which is truly regrettable.

Thinking of this, Hana turned to look at Eicho, only to see the latter timing her watch: "Three minutes, that should be about right."

"Almost what?" Hana was completely confused, but Yingchu had just stopped her from rushing up and fighting Pike directly, acting all mysterious. Was there some other plan?

Sure enough, when Hanon turned her gaze back to Jack, she saw the burly man sitting up as if nothing had happened.

"Aaaaaah! A ghost!" Kanon screamed—Jack had actually come back to life! This was unbelievable, no wonder Kanon was shocked, after all, she had seen real ghosts and even been possessed by one.

Jack was clearly dead before; his heartbeat and pulse had stopped, and even his body was stiff. Even someone as skilled as me couldn't tell the difference. Was it just a case of feigned death?

"Eiram..." Kanon was absolutely certain that this situation was inseparable from Eiichi: "What's going on?"

Yingchu's answer remained candid: "Hehehe, although I only added four minor spells for Jack, when they all come together, they will create a fifth spell~"

Isn't it common knowledge that there are five Heavenly Kings? It turns out that Yingchu didn't want Jack to mess around and drive him to his death! Therefore, his spell design was very ingenious. The four minor spells could be connected to each other. When the adrenaline obtained by the "Goddess Spell" exceeded the critical point, it would overload and stimulate the other three spells, using their respective characteristics to fake death and perform a perfect death act in order to deceive the opponent.

The "Shield Guardian Technique" alters the muscle structure of Jack's back, creating the illusion of opening the "Ghost Back".

The "zombie technique" of intracerebral anesthetic can directly cause a deep coma lasting several minutes.

The "Goddess Technique" adjusts the body's pulse and heartbeat to an extremely low level, so that even someone skilled in it wouldn't notice it.

The "navigation technique" fakes a stiff state of the body.

The so-called "seeing the devil" means seeing death, but it's just seeing it once, not being trapped in hell forever and never being able to escape!

After figuring out the cause and effect, Huayin rolled her eyes and rubbed her forehead: "Dr. Ying, have you ever heard of Guo Haihuang? How come he even copied that old man's feigning death technique as a magic formula?"

Jack Van Ma, this is a victory for martial arts...

Author's note: Waaah, my only hope is that this won't affect my perfect attendance record in May...

Section 769, Chapter 760: Prelude

"Another 'victory of martial arts,' pshaw!"

In the reception room of the Tokyo Dome underground arena, Kanon once defeated Kinryuyama to win a spot in the arena, and now Tokugawa Mitsunari is meeting a heavyweight guest here, both in terms of weight and status.

That person was Yujiro Hanma, who was known as the "strongest creature in the world".

Three days have passed since Jack Hanma was defeated by Pike. Hanma Yujiro is here today not to avenge his son, nor even for Jack's sake. He's here to watch the upcoming battle—Yohane vs. Pike.

"That Jack is a good-for-nothing." Yujiro curled his lip. He had just heard Tokugawa Mitsunari recount Jack's battle with Pike and was quite disdainful of Jack's escape by feigning death at the last moment.

Tokugawa Mitsunari smiled and took a sip of tea: "But Jack truly relied on his own abilities to escape unscathed from Pike's clutches. I heard you encountered a similar situation in China~"

"It's just a crooked and unorthodox approach."

"Alas, I never imagined that I would become someone's 'unorthodox' sect so soon after retiring..."

Someone spoke up behind Yujiro. He turned around and saw it was none other than Guo Haihuang!

"Hmph, you, so frail and old, have actually come here." Yujiro and Guo Haihuang were true rivals who had fought each other and respected each other. Facing the old Haihuang, his words were sharp but his tone was gentle. He even stood up to show his respect.

"The duel between the current Sea Emperor and the primitive man, the highest level of Chinese martial arts versus the ultimate wildness of the ancient times—how could I miss such a battle?" Guo Haihuang put his hands behind his back, no longer sitting in a wheelchair pretending to be weak while actually being strong. It seems that the old man's retirement life is quite comfortable, and he is more energetic than before.

"Elder Guo, you've arrived." Tokugawa Mitsunari himself was in his seventies or eighties, but in front of Guo Haihuang, he was a junior several generations younger. The two had interacted before, but they weren't exactly close. Now, he hurriedly came to greet him, trying to get on good terms with this titan of Chinese martial arts. With Guo Haihuang's influence, even if he had retired, it was unlikely that he himself would come to fight in Tokugawa's arena. However, as long as he gave the order, he could attract many martial arts masters from the Chinese Martial Arts Province to participate in the battle, thus greatly expanding the scale of the arena's martial artists.

The meeting room was some distance from the stands, accessible via a special passage. The three of them walked towards the stands together, making several turns along the way. Just as they could hear the noise outside, another person appeared from the front.

Guo Haihuang raised an eyebrow and greeted him cheerfully, "Lie, you were badly injured by that caveman, weren't you?"

Retsu Kaioh was wrapped in large bandages and plaster casts. His injuries from being severely injured by Pike not long ago were far from healed. However, he had also been present at the battle between Katsumi and Pike. Today, it was Kanon's turn to fight, so Retsu Kaioh naturally couldn't be absent.

Lie Haiwang lowered his head: "My skills are not good enough to defeat Pi Ke, but Ye Haihuang's martial arts are profound, so he will definitely be fine."

Guo Haihuang smiled again: "Really?"

"Hmm..." Lie Haiwang was an honest man. After being questioned by Guo Haihuang, he thought about it again. Pike's terrifying "second-stage transformation" and his ability to withstand blows that never disappointed him were truly a high mountain in front of modern martial artists. Although Hanon was strong, it was still unknown whether she could break through Pike's defense. So he corrected himself and said, "It is still hard to say who will win."

"Hahaha, not surprising, not surprising at all." Guo Haihuang laughed loudly: "If the outcome is obvious, there is no point in starting a battle, so there is no need to rush to give an answer that you yourself do not know."

Retsukai blushed: "Yes, I have learned something."

"However, I have confidence in Ye Yatou." The old man raised his head slightly. "After becoming the Sea Queen, she quickly resolved the 'Superhuman Fist Technique' matter and beautifully completed her first major test. As for the battle with this primitive man, the pressure wasn't actually that great. Our Chinese martial arts are the oldest martial arts in the world, but compared to the ancient times that Pike lived in, they are far too young, and therefore there's not much pressure. With so many masters falling in defeat, Ye Yatou, regardless of winning or losing, will at least not damage the prestige of Chinese martial arts."

Guo Haihuang patted Lie Haiwang on the shoulder: "More than that, the challenge Haihuang faced was saving you from Pike's clutches, preventing you from dying or losing an arm or a leg."

"Yes, yes, I am also very grateful to Ye Haihuang..." King Liehai didn't know how to respond to these words, so he could only change the subject: "It's still early before the battle, please take a seat, sir."

Unexpectedly, Guo Haihuang waved his hand and said, "No, I see there's a big screen nearby, so I'll watch the game from here."

"Huh? What's wrong with you..." Retsukai-oh asked in confusion, while Hanma Yujiro laughed: "Hahaha, old man, you say you don't care about Ye Hanon's victory or defeat, but are you actually afraid of seeing her lose?"

"I just find it noisy outside." Guo Haihuang picked at his ear. "This kind of spectating method has a long history in Chinese martial arts. During the Republic of China era, Gong Yutian retired from martial arts in Guangdong and wanted to find a martial artist from the south to spar with him. His disciple Ma San, under the pretense of his master's protection, defeated several southern boxers in a row. At that time, someone relayed the details of the battles to the guests drinking next door, so that they knew the kung fu style of the Gong family disciples, laying the foundation for a future spar with Gong Yutian... That guest was Ip Man. Ip Man can do what Ip Man can do, and I can do what he can do. Besides, he can only hear what others say, but I have video here."

After retiring, Guo Haihuang really let loose. Although it's unclear whether he genuinely found it noisy or, as Yujiro said, was masking his anxiety, once the old man made his decision, everyone had no choice but to keep him there.

Well, Guo Haihuang was right about one thing: it was indeed very noisy over there in the arena.

Pushing open the door, the noise immediately amplified. The Tokyo Dome underground arena was almost full, filled with martial artists from all over the world, some whom Kanon knew and some she didn't. The remaining seats were taken up by the disciples of the Shinshin-kai, all waiting for the epic battle between Kanon and Pike.

"Brother Lie, over here." Someone called out to Lie Haiwang from the area where the Shenxin Society disciples were not far away. It was Yudi Keji, the young man who had challenged Pi Ke and achieved good results. At this moment, his hands were wrapped in bandages and he couldn't move at all. His spirits were still relatively good. Thanks to Hao Hongye's all-out efforts to save his hands, they were finally saved, but he would not be able to fight for a year and a half.

Retsu Kaiou walked towards Katsumi, while Tokugawa Mitsunari turned his head and said, "Yujiro, shall we go to the podium too... Huh?"

Tokugawa Mitsunari was surprised to find that Hanma Yujiro, who had been by Guo Haihuang's side when they said goodbye, had disappeared.

Author's Note: It's about my girlfriend again, which has affected my mood... Sigh, these two chapters are a bit of a stretch, and writing them has left me feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Section 770, Chapter 761: Lips, Teeth, and Tongue

Yujiro Hanma was very familiar with the layout of the Tokyo Dome's underground arena, and given his unparalleled personal strength, he could easily escape Tokugawa Mitsunari's attention and return to the backstage area.

Backstage, Yujiro found someone: "You're here!"

"Heh, Miss Ye's battle with the primitive man is definitely worth watching! Besides, Mr. Fan Ma, didn't you also send me a message?"

That man was fat... or so I thought. He was just broad-shouldered, but his body was covered in muscles. There aren't many people like that in the world. Among them, the only one who was on good terms with Yujiro Hanma and could greet each other was Bisket Oliva.

After a brief greeting, Oliva listened to the shouts from the arena: "Oh, what a spectacle." He looked at Yujiro: "Mr. Hanma, to be honest, I'm a little surprised. You said before that Miss Ye still had room to grow, that you could let her develop for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to be able to resist fighting Pico..."

Yujiro grinned: "Pico and Hanane are both very interesting opponents, but I have limited time. I might as well see the result of their battle before deciding who to devour. Besides, I recently saw something incredible at Tokugawa's secret research institute. A fierce battle is bound to take place in the near future, so I need to conserve my energy from now on."

Oliva was utterly incredulous: "What could it be that even Mr. Vanma exclaimed 'Incredible' and used to conserve his energy for? It's truly fascinating..."

Oliva didn't press the matter further. He knew Yujiro's personality well; this "fierce" man would speak when he wanted to, and asking him when he didn't was pointless. So the topic shifted to Kanon and Pike: "Actually, Mr. Hanma values ​​Miss Ye quite a bit. He specially borrowed the three members of 'Lip, Teeth, and Tongue' from me this time, just to warm up Miss Ye."

……

"Were you sent by Yujiro Hanma to warm me up?"

"Exactly!" ×3

In the players' lounge, Kanon, who had just changed her clothes and was having a brief moment of tenderness with Miho, encountered three people.

The three people looked alike, had similar builds, and moved as if they were cut from the same mold. Even their voices overlapped and came out in three overlapping sounds, making them indescribably eerie and unpredictable.

"We are the 'Lip, Teeth, Tongue' duo, seconded from the Arizona State Prison by Mr. Yujiro Hanma on his behalf, to provide sparring partners for Ms. Hanane Hayao." ×3

"Uh, it's rare for Yujiro Hanma to show kindness, but I've already warmed up myself, and you guys suddenly jump out and talk about sparring partners..." Hanon scratched her head, feeling a bit helpless about the appearance of these three. She simply turned to Miho and said, "What do you think?"

Miho was quite easygoing, nodding casually: "Such a long sentence, and all three of them said it at the same time without any confusion, they're amazing!"

“No, your focus is completely wrong…” Hana was embarrassed, which was also reflected in her expression. So the three people opposite her, “lips, teeth and tongue”, looked at each other and said, “Since Miss Ye doesn’t like the three of us talking at the same time, then we won’t talk together.”

This time, the three of them stopped repeating their words and started saying one or two words each. Their coordinated speech was so close that it sounded like one person was talking—this was even more bizarre!

Miho, however, thought they were performing a magic trick and even clapped, saying, "Hehe, interesting, interesting~"

Hanon was even more embarrassed: "You three are focusing on the wrong things... Forget it, I don't need this sparring partner anymore. You guys go back and thank Yujiro and Oliva for me." With that, she turned to walk out the door.

But before Hanon could reach the door, one of the "lips, teeth, and tongue" blocked her way, while the other two blocked the area behind Hanon, forming a small triangular encirclement.

Although they had surrounded Hanon, the trio looked troubled: "I'm sorry, Miss Ye, our mission is to spar with you. It would be difficult to report back if we don't complete it."

"...That's definitely Yujiro Hanma's style." Hanon sighed helplessly. They were already locked into the enemy's formation, so they had no choice but to fight: "Let's go then, let's finish this quickly."

"Okay" x3, and the "lips, teeth, and tongue" trio resumed their rhythm of speaking simultaneously.

The so-called "lips, teeth, and tongue" are the most skillfully coordinated parts of the human body. The trio's name reflects their exceptional teamwork. Now, the three stand in a triangular formation, the perfect setup for a coordinated attack. Completely focused, they slowly approach Hanon.

Unlike their usual composed and playful approach to missions, the "Lip, Teeth, and Tongue" trio was extremely cautious this time, their foreheads covered in beads of sweat. As special agents, all three were martial artists who had entered the inner world, and they knew the weight of the name "Ye Huayin." Even though the three of them could defeat a world champion in a fighting sport when working together, they were still trembling with fear and walking on thin ice when facing Huayin.

"Having defeated Oliva, he's on par with Yujiro Hanma, and now he's challenging the caveman Pico. Such a character, ugh..."

Suddenly, "Tongue," one of the trio, opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "They're here!"

He felt Huayin's murderous intent surge forth like a raging storm, overwhelming and unstoppable, and his feet involuntarily retreated.

The "lips" and "teeth" next to the "tongue" naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch their companion fly away. Without even communicating, the two simultaneously threw punches, attempting to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao, and helping their companion to restrain Hanon's pursuit.

However, a loud "bang" was heard, followed by a "crash" of bones shattering. It turned out that the fists of "lips" and "teeth" aimed at Hanon had missed and collided with each other. The two were evenly matched in strength and size, so the power of their fists was naturally equal. Thus, spear and shield collided, resulting in mutual injury. The bones in both of their hands shattered simultaneously, and they let out miserable screams.

As for "Tongue," who initially retreated, his spirits lifted upon hearing his companion's screams. He quickly stopped his retreat and prepared to return to help. However, before he could even set off, he encountered another, even fiercer and more ruthless killing intent. Just as he was exhausted of his old strength and had not yet generated new strength, he was caught off guard and tripped on the ground.

Before Kanon and the trio could speak, Miho clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Wow, amazing! What are you guys performing?"

It turns out that in Miho's eyes, Kanon was always standing still. This trio of "lips, teeth, and tongue" ended up hurting themselves with a series of silly actions. This comical performance was completely different from when they were aggressively targeting Kanon before.

“‘Lip, teeth, and tongue’ is a good name.” Hana smiled. “It’s a pity it didn’t come with a brain.”

She wasn't mocking the trio for being stupid; rather, she was sincerely stating that the trio couldn't withstand the killing intent she was releasing, which was why she could easily subdue them while they were standing still.

Hanon casually rummaged through the first-aid kit in the rest room, tossed some medicine to "Lip, Teeth and Tongue," and then left the rest area.

This sparring session wasn't even a warm-up; outside, a major battle and thousands of spectators awaited her!
