A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

That night, Hanon had planned to enter the next time travel in her sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep.

No, no, it's not that I ate too much for dinner! Don't make baseless accusations about a young girl's appetite!

This feeling of not being able to sleep, how to describe it, is like something is about to come from the shadows. As soon as you close your eyes, you feel danger approaching, as if you are back in the arena where you faced Miyamoto Musashi, about to face the repeated blows of two samurai swords... It's truly terrifying.

"Could it be that after multiple time travels, I've gained superpowers? That I can sense the upcoming time travel?" Hanon thought silently as she lay in bed.

But that's clearly not the reason.

Sensing something, Huayin quietly got out of bed, avoiding the sleeping Ye family members, and went to the courtyard.

A thin figure stood in the courtyard; it was a person dressed in black.

By the way, this was the first person Hanon had ever seen dressed in night clothes in ancient times.

The man was holding something in his hand—the "divine staff" that Huayin had pulled out of the hillside that afternoon, which was actually a large iron spear.

"You..." In the dead of night, with her family sound asleep inside, Hua Yin hesitated, unsure whether she should speak loudly. Just then, the man in black beckoned to Hua Yin, then turned and, with his spear held upside down, leaped out of the Ye family's wooden gate.

"That's fine, at least it won't wake anyone up." Hua Yin breathed a sigh of relief and took a step to follow. She was very curious as to why this person would seek out the Ye family, an ordinary farming family, and why he would beckon to her with his finger. What did he see in her?

With her exceptional skills and daring, Hua Yin was invincible in the era of cold weapons. Unless an entire legion laid a trap beforehand, Hua Yin could escape unscathed in any situation. She had even fought Lu Bu. In this era of transition between the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were even fewer heroes who could shake the world. Hua Yin could rest assured and explore everything she wanted to know.

The man in black possessed extraordinary lightness skills; despite his short stature, he could run incredibly fast while wielding a large iron spear—even faster than Hana in normal running. As soon as they left the village, Hana activated her "Unlimited Transformation," propelling herself forward at a speed almost unimaginable to humans. The distance between them rapidly closed, and each time the man in black looked back, he found himself significantly outpaced, sweat beading on his forehead: "This farm girl's stamina is incredible!"

The two arrived one after the other at the hillside where Hana had pulled out the "immortal pole" that afternoon. The man in black stopped and turned around to speak.

Unexpectedly, the man in black stopped, but Hana had no intention of stopping. She activated "Unbounded Illusion" and launched herself forward again, instantly closing in on the man in black and striking his face!

"Eek—" The man in black was startled. Hana's actions were completely unexpected. In his haste, he could only manage to dodge to the side and avoid Hana's attack, but the mask on his face had already been torn off by Hana.

"Hey, you've got the guts to steal, but you don't dare show your true face?" Hana chuckled, shaking the mask in her hand. "Show your face so the authorities can draw a portrait when they issue a wanted notice."

She didn't really intend to report it to the authorities; this was a chaotic world, and the Mongol government's control wasn't that strong. Besides, she didn't have much time left here, and even if she went to the government, she might be stopped halfway there, leaving this clueless farm girl stranded on the road.

Hanon's words were merely a greeting; how to deal with the man in black afterward would depend on the situation.

To Hanon's surprise, the man in black responded to her words with an air of seriousness: "Report to the authorities? I am an official!"

What?

Once the mask was removed, a face weathered by time yet still beautiful was revealed; the person in black was a woman!

This woman was quite old; her hair was completely white, but her features were delicate, and she didn't have many wrinkles, making it difficult to guess her exact age. One could imagine that she must have been a stunning beauty in her youth.

"You're an official?" Hua Yin scratched her head. In ancient times, women could have imperial titles, but what kind of official position could they hold? The number one female constable in the land?

"I am Yang Miaozhen, the former governor of Shandong Province. The current governor of Shandong Province is my son. Tell me, am I not an official?"

"Province" was a Mongolian official title, a powerful official in charge of the affairs of a province, with military and political power at his disposal. He was a local warlord in a chaotic world, and his power was considerable. This woman was not only an official, but a very high-ranking one!

But what's truly shocking isn't her official title, but her name.

Yang Miaozhen.

"Twenty years of Pear Blossom Spear, invincible under heaven..." Hua Yin murmured. She had heard Yang Miaozhen's story from several martial arts masters in the province long ago. She really was born in this era. Her personal martial arts were unparalleled in the world, and the Yang family spear technique she passed down was the most famous among the ancient Chinese spear techniques. She never expected that Hua Yin would be transmigrated into an ordinary farm girl and actually meet this legendary woman.

As if by destiny, two "Sea Queens" of Chinese martial arts met here, spanning a thousand years!

One is a soul possessed by a peasant girl, and the other... has to come to the countryside to steal in the middle of the night.

"Why would a provincial governor steal from a farmer's house in the middle of the night?" Hua Yin asked.

"Steal?" Yang Miaozhen raised an eyebrow, her original gentleness instantly turning into sharpness—she must have been just as heroic on the battlefield!

"This iron spear was originally mine. I heard a children's rhyme in the city saying that someone pulled it out, so I came to take a look." As Hua Yin looked at Yang Miaozhen with the eyes of someone looking at an idol, Yang Miaozhen was also looking at Hua Yin: "I didn't expect that the person who pulled out the spear was a thin peasant girl. Your strength is far superior to that of the fierce generals on the battlefield. You are truly a gifted person."

"Hehe, no problem, no problem..." Huayin said modestly, then asked doubtfully, "Is this big iron spear the legendary invincible 'Pear Blossom Spear'?"

Uh, you still have the nerve to talk about Hua Yin Dali? If Yang Miao really took this thing to the battlefield, she would be a real Zhang Fei!

"Interesting, you country bumpkin have heard of me too?" Yang Miaozhen said with amusement, brandishing the iron spear in her hand in a couple of circles, handling it with ease, as if it were a small wooden stick.

But she shook her head: "This is not my pear blossom spear, but my late husband's weapon."

It turns out that Yang Miaozhen's husband, Li Quan, was once a fierce general who was famous throughout the Central Plains. He was nicknamed "Li the Iron Spear," and this big iron spear was his weapon. He was so strong that he could overcome any skill. He charged back and forth on the battlefield, brave and invincible.

Even the strongest general could not defeat Yang Miaozhen. At that time, Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen's elder brother Yang An'er were both leaders of the anti-Jin rebel army in the north. When the two forces met, Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen clashed on the spot. Yang Miaozhen hurled her spear on horseback, and the pear blossom spear penetrated more than a foot into a large rock. Li Quan rode his horse to pull it out but could not. He had no choice but to dismount and submit. His troops were also incorporated into the Yang family's "Red Coat Army".

The "Red Turban Army" primarily fought against the Jin dynasty, with resistance against the Mongols as a secondary objective. After a long and winding journey, they returned south and became allied with the Southern Song dynasty. However, the Southern Song court was corrupt and ultimately did not trust the peasant army, which originated from humble origins. They secretly sowed discord and plotted to kill the rebel leader. Li Quan and his wife Yang Miaozhen had no choice but to fight against the Southern Song again. Li Quan was killed in battle, while Yang Miaozhen and her subordinates were trapped in an isolated city.

So Yang Miaozhen said to her subordinates, "For twenty years, I have been unmatched in the world with my Pear Blossom Spear. Now that the situation is hopeless, if you want to surrender, you must use me as a token of your loyalty. But you are all reluctant to harm me, so the matter is at a standstill." Then she ordered her generals to surrender, saying that they originally intended to capture and kill Yang Miaozhen and her son, but their plan was exposed and they returned empty-handed. She herself then broke through the siege. The Song soldiers besieging the city were as numerous as the sea, but they could not stop her in the slightest.

Having spent her life fighting against both the Jin and Song dynasties, Yang Miaozhen found herself with nowhere else to go. Perhaps her hatred for the Mongols was still relatively mild, so she traveled north to the Shandong and Huainan regions. The Mongol chancellor, Yelü Chucai, greatly admired her, praising her: "She comes from a distinguished family, a lineage of generals. She is not effeminate, but possesses the qualities of a great man. The officials and people are devoted to her, and the court takes notice. Therefore, she was appointed to the position of Provincial Governor of Shandong, hoping to alleviate the worries of the south." Several years passed, and now the position has been passed on to her son.

As for this iron spear, it was thrown by Yang Miaozhen after she went north to Shandong, missing her late husband Li Quan. She imitated the scene when the two fell in love, and threw the spear deep into the ground on horseback, which later became a strange tale in the countryside.

"I see..." After hearing Yang Miaozhen's simple explanation, Huayin understood the cause and effect: "Then I'm really sorry for pulling out something so meaningful."

“Apologies? There’s no need,” Yang Miaozhen said. “I can put it back in anytime. I came here tonight just to see who could pull out my javelin. But after seeing you, I have a different idea.”

"What do you think of me?" Hana pointed to her own nose, then suddenly realized: "Could it be that you... want to fight me?"

“Wrong.” Yang Miaozhen laughed: “Haha, what nonsense are you talking about, child? There’s such a big generation difference, what would it be like for me to bully you… I want to take you as my disciple.”

"...Please allow me to refuse."

Author's Note: There will be another chapter in a bit; the two "Sea Queens" have to have a fight eventually, right?

Section 874, Chapter 865: Heroine vs. Heroine

Hua Yin declined Yang Miaozhen's invitation to become her apprentice.

It's not that she's arrogant, it's just that I simply can't do it.

Yang Miaozhen wanted to take on a disciple, undoubtedly because she saw the "talent" that Huayin had shown. But in the blink of an eye, Huayin was about to travel to another unknown place. After she left, how could the current host, this farm girl named Ye Xiaohua, meet Yang Miaozhen's expectations? At that time, the opportunity that fell from the sky would give rise to many disappointments, and good things would turn into bad things.

"Um, I..." Hua Yin opened her mouth, pondering and thinking. She had to find a suitable reason to smooth things over, otherwise offending a powerful official would not be good. But what reason should she use?

To say he looks down on Yang Miaozhen? Tsk, that would really offend her badly; to say he has to take care of his parents and can't leave? Sigh, as the disciple of a local official, how could he be afraid of not being able to take care of his family? Or he could say he has no intention of learning martial arts and only wants to be a good wife and mother... It seems he just showed off a bit of his skills.

Hua Yin was still pondering when Yang Miaozhen opposite her grew impatient. Although she was old, she had spent her life in battle and was not a person with a good temper. She shouted, "Don't know what's good for you! Take this!" and thrust her large iron spear forward.

"Ah!" Hua Yin exclaimed and jumped back, even using "Unpredictable Transformation" in her excitement. It was thanks to her choice of this move that Yang Miaozhen's seemingly simple thrust caused the tip of her spear to instantly create thirteen or fourteen afterimages, making it impossible to discern the source of the attack. Hua Yin's decision to simply retreat was indeed the most reasonable response.

Yang Miaozhen missed with her first shot, but with a slight tremor of her hands, the large iron spear regained its momentum due to inertia and thrust at Hua Yin again.

This time, Kanon is already in battle mode. Forget about having a good reason to refuse the other party. Since the fight has already started, let's talk about everything after the fight is over!

"Unpredictable Transformation" activated again. Hua Yin first leaped to the side, enticing Yang Miaozhen to swing her spear, then instantly lunged forward, closing in on Yang Miaozhen's side, and threw a punch... "Hmm?"

The timing and angle of this punch were perfect. Yang Miaozhen's spear was heavy and difficult to defend against, and Huayin was confident of hitting her. However, as she extended her arm halfway, she suddenly became alert. Huayin was cautious by nature and dared not be careless in the face of this legendary heroine. She immediately stopped and jumped back—that was the right move!

As Huayin leaped forward, Yang Miaozhen pushed the tail of the large iron spear, using its momentum to swing the shaft horizontally and smash it towards Huayin. The heavy iron shaft tore through the air, emitting a buzzing sound. Huayin only noticed the attack because she sensed the fluctuation in the air beforehand.

The two beings at the peak of their power, the Sea Queen separated by a thousand years, exchanged a move, neither gaining an advantage, and both held each other in higher regard.

Hanon, being rather naive, simply exclaimed, "Truly a heroine who is 'unrivaled under heaven'."

In her youth, Yang Miaozhen was a passionate and unrestrained hero. Over the years, she has traveled the world, her life adrift, which inevitably made her temperament somewhat eccentric. Her direct attack on Huayin after failing to take on a disciple is a manifestation of this. Now, she holds her large iron spear horizontally in front of her and says regretfully, "What a pity, what a pity. I haven't carried a weapon with me for many years. This large iron spear is cumbersome and difficult to use, and its tracks are easy to track. If I had used my Pear Blossom Spear to finish you off just now, you would never have been able to escape."

"Perhaps." Hanon shrugged. During her special training before the duel with Miyamoto Musashi, Retsukai had demonstrated the Pear Blossom Spear to her, explaining that ancient spears were mostly made of wood, soft and flexible, capable of bending and trembling with every thrust. The spear's title of "King of Weapons" stemmed not only from its imposing appearance but also from its unpredictable nature. Hanon believed that a real Pear Blossom Spear might actually be able to strike her, but…

"I don't think the outcome would be any different."

There were many rocks on the hillside. Huayin lifted one up with her foot, grabbed it in her hand, and punched it with her other hand—"Boom!" The rock shattered into fragments, which flew away in the wind.

"Oh, is this some kind of innate superhuman strength, you wild girl?" Yang Miaozhen licked her lips, feeling her fighting spirit, which had gradually subsided in recent years, resurface. "Or is it that your master is a master of hard skills, and you, being so talented, have already received his true teachings?"

"Master?" Hua Yin was taken aback, but she immediately realized that Yang Miaozhen must have misunderstood and thought that Hua Yin did not become her disciple because she already had a master... Isn't that great? She can explain everything without having to say a lot.

So Huayin nodded: "My master's surname is Guo, and he is a very, very old man."

"Guo? I've never heard of a martial arts master with the surname Guo." Yang Miaozhen frowned slightly, then relaxed. "However, there are many extraordinary talents and people with special abilities in the world. There are naturally many masters I haven't heard of, so it's not surprising. I failed to take on a disciple today, but I've encountered a wild girl with exceptional talent. I have to have a match with her... Take this!"

Hua Yin was chuckling to herself, "You'd be lucky to have heard of Guo Haihuang. His great-great-great-great-grandfather probably hadn't even been born yet... Hey, here we go again?"

Despite her outward shock, Hana's actions were completely decisive. She activated "Unparalleled Illusion" again, dodging the attack and displaying her unparalleled battlefield mobility to the fullest. It wasn't just Yang Miaozhen who was excited; Hana was also overjoyed to have encountered such a powerful opponent!

Having exchanged a few blows with Lü Bu while saving Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period was a truly wonderful memory. The history of this new world is actually a fictionalized version, and Hanon really wants to stay a little longer to enjoy it... However, time travel is something that is beyond one's control, so Hanon can only say "what is past cannot be changed, but what is to come can still be pursued." Since she can't compete with "Lü Bu among men," she should cherish the "invincible" situation she has now!

Huayin launched another attack on Yang Miaozhen, using her agility to circle around repeatedly, all in an attempt to get close.

She planned to use a similar close-quarters combat tactic as against Miyamoto Musashi, which she expected would be easier this time. Musashi's katana had a shorter attack range, and a constant flash of light followed Hanon, preventing her from striking freely. Furthermore, the "Niten Ichi-ryu" style also carried a sword at their waist, ready for iaido at any moment, which also made Hanon wary. Yang Miaozhen's spear was completely different; the large iron spear was too cumbersome and a long-handled weapon, making close combat almost like fighting bare-handed. In unarmed combat, Hanon was completely confident she could overpower anyone.

Hua Yin circled around Yang Miaozhen for a while, but Yang Miaozhen always held her spear horizontally in front of her, using the shaft of the large iron spear as a barrier to separate herself from Hua Yin.

But the iron spear was ultimately too heavy. Even though Yang Miaozhen possessed immense strength and could wield it with ease, it still slightly affected her speed. In a battle between masters, the difference in distance was immense. She finally couldn't keep up with Hua Yin's speed and was caught off guard by Hua Yin's attack.

Hanon was overjoyed: "It's done!" At the same time, she raised her "finger razor" to cut off the opponent—considering that the opponent was a historical figure, she decided to just cut open the clothes to signify the end of the battle.

"Ding……"

Instead of the expected sound of clothes tearing, Hua Yin's fingers struck the large iron spear, but Yang Miaozhen dodged it in a way that Hua Yin didn't notice.

"No..." Hua Yin only had time to have a fleeting thought before Yang Miaozhen's spear swept over her, using her own body and the shaft of the iron spear as a boundary, locking her in her arms.

Author's Note: This chapter is really late, but I still managed to finish it. See you tomorrow.

Section 875, Chapter 866: The Marvel of Marksmanship

With Hanon locked up and the two women embracing, it sounds like a very erotic scene.

But it isn't.

In her youth, Yang Miaozhen was known as "Little Sister," "Fourth Sister," and "Aunt Yang." She was a woman of outstanding beauty, with a heroic and chivalrous spirit that made her famous throughout the Central Plains. However, she is now old and gray, her youth gone. No matter how well she takes care of herself, she cannot escape the erosion of time.

Hanon's original form was youthful and beautiful, even stunningly so. However, she was now adrift in time and space, possessing the body of a farm girl. This great-aunt of Hanon was, to put it mildly, just average-looking and not at all a beauty.

Moreover, off-screen, Yang Miaozhen's spear was looping back, locking Huayin in place—a deadly move intended to end the battle. The situation was extremely dangerous, and neither of them could afford to have any romantic thoughts while in the midst of it.
