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

"Uh, it seems it's not as simple as Wu Lei'an's pre-match provocation..."

Realizing that things were not so simple, Hanon suppressed her anger and walked silently in front of Miho, standing between her and the Wu clan.

Upon seeing "Flavor" arrive, Old Master Wu snorted coldly: "Very good, the main character has arrived, saving us the trouble..." Just as the old man was about to continue speaking, Wu Lei'an had already climbed down from the wall.

"Damn it, you scoundrel! Hahaha, you'll pay the price!" Lei An was also furious to the point of madness, cursing and laughing at the same time. His appearance was ferocious and terrifying, and he was indeed an extremely vicious madman.

Given Lei'an's personality, he would have rushed to fight Huayin immediately, but several of his clansmen stopped him: "Lei'an, let's hear what Grandpa has to say first."

Miho also asked the old man tremblingly, "Mr. Wu, um, is there something you need from us?" Miho was so frightened that she couldn't say a word, but standing next to Hanon gave her a strange sense of security, which allowed her to finally ask the question.

Yes, let's see what Grandpa Wu has to say.

Old Master Wu kept his eyes fixed on "Flavor". Although he was old and frail, he did not show any fierce aura. However, the presence of the Wu clan patriarch naturally brought endless pressure to the person opposite him.

After staring at Hanon for a while, Old Master Wu suddenly smiled, but his smile was cold. He looked at Miho: "President Suoh, our Wu clan has come to discuss something with you. I know that Adam is also a fighter who obeys your orders, so I hope that in the White Night News match, Flavor can replace Adam and fight against Raian."

Author's Note: After communicating with the Wu clan, the Flower Sound Thunder Temple will be starting soon!

Phew, I finally managed to smoothly pass the two original battles: Guan Lin vs. Fu Li Ge and Meng Hu vs. Julius. Plans succeeded! O(∩_∩)O

Section 184, Chapter 182: The Wu Clan and Ye Huayin

"Huh? Flavo is to replace Adam in the competition and fight Wu Lei'an?" Miho subconsciously repeated Old Master Wu's words, then looked at Hanon.

In fact, everyone in the room was looking at Hanon.

"Uh..." Unaccustomed to being watched by so many people up close, Hanon felt a little embarrassed, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask in a rough voice, "Why?"

While asking the question, Hanon gestured to Miho and Adam with her eyes to keep quiet and not reveal that she had decided to replace Adam in the competition, so as to see what the Wu clan was really up to.

Instead of giving a direct answer, Mr. Wu began to reminisce about his life.

"I was once a fighter of the Kagen Mitsudo, known as the first generation of Mitsudo's Fang, who helped him seize the hegemony of the Kengan Association... I was once the number one fighter of the Wu clan, leading the family for many years. Now the Wu clan has flourished and is famous throughout the world... However, I am now 91 years old, and I probably don't have much time left to live. There are fewer and fewer things that I care about. Perhaps only the smile of my great-granddaughter Garuda makes me cherish it..."

The old man's tone became serious and urgent: "However, I saw Garuda crying sadly with tears in her eyes... Flavo, you hurt her, and you hurt me too. I know that Garuda is in love with you, and you have the right to reject her. I understand, I understand..." The old man suddenly shouted: "But I cannot forgive you! You brat, how could you make my beloved little Garuda cry!"

The outburst of momentum happened in an instant. After saying this, Old Master Wu's tone became calm again: "In the next match, you will fight Lei An. Regardless of the outcome, I will not pursue the matter further... I know you must think I am domineering and unreasonable, but you can also understand the feelings of an old man seeing his great-granddaughter being hurt... Besides, our Wu clan has always been very domineering in its actions."

The old man said a lot of things, but the gist of it was quite simple: "Flavor, you've offended the Wu clan. There's no point in saying more. Go up to the arena and fight Wu Lei'an!"

Wu Lei'an was unaware of the old man's purpose in bringing such a large force. When he heard that he was going to have a public duel with Flavor, he was so happy that he grinned and scratched his head.

"Hahahaha, very good, very good! Old man, you've finally done something great! Oh, American bastard, you're lucky we can't kill you in the ring. As for you, bandaged bastard..." Raian was obviously referring to Hanon: "I promise, I will definitely kill you!"

Phew, Wu Lei'an is inherently ferocious and ruthless. No one who fights him can escape unscathed; even the slightest weakness could cost them their life. He is truly a "human calamity." It was precisely because Old Master Wu saw this that he chose to send "Flavor" to the ring. He believed that Lei'an, whether out of genuine motives or not, would vent Garuda's anger.

As for Suoh Seitetsu, Kanon had long decided to meet Wu Lei'an. In fact, she had already completed the handover of the quota with Adam. So, when Old Master Wu proposed to change the challenger, which was originally a very impressive request, Kanon found it completely uninteresting.

Huayin didn't harbor much ill will towards Grandpa Wu. Just as Grandpa Wu said, Huayin could understand an old man's doting on a younger generation. Moreover, she did feel guilty towards Garuda. Although Garuda had taken the initiative to "fall in love" with Huayin, Huayin's refusal to tell Garuda that she was a girl had caused Garuda distress. Hurting that innocent and lovely girl was by no means Huayin's intention.

Having anticipated this and harboring no ill will, Hua Yin actually felt a bit... well, sympathy? In short, Hua Yin was very relaxed, even somewhat leisurely, and teased the old man, "What if I refuse to fight?" As she spoke, Hua Yin glanced at the Wu clan members, "Are you going to make your move now?"

Hmm, all the top experts of the Wu clan are in the house. With so many against so few, even Huayin can't hold them off. It's really quite dangerous... But Huayin thinks that since the old man didn't give the order to attack at first, he shouldn't suddenly start hurting people now, right?

Sure enough, Old Master Wu sneered, "What, are you chickening out?"

The old man's smile gradually turned sinister: "Suoh Steel is a participating company of the Kengan Association. Although it's not that we can't directly attack you, I have to give Katahara Miedo and the Kengan Association some face. Please restrain yourselves during the competition... I'll give you a choice." At this point, he held up two fingers: "As long as you step into the ring and fight Raian, I won't pursue the matter any further, regardless of life or death, victory or defeat. If you refuse, I'll take two lives."

Hua Yin raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it?"

"The first person was Kenzo Yamashita, who, in a way, was also our Wu clan's employer..."

"Huh? Isn't the president of Yamashita-sha named Masahiko Ota?"

"That's just a stand-in," Old Master Wu said disdainfully. "The real controller of the Yamashita Society is Kenzo Yamashita. He is the eldest son of Kazuo Yamashita. You and President Suo have a good relationship, don't you? Can you bear to see him die?"

Before Miho could respond, Kanon picked up the conversation: "According to this logic, Yamashita Kenzo is also a member of the Kengan Association. Why didn't you attack Miho, but instead tried to kill him?"

"Hmph, that guy is hiding behind a stand-in. He's not a registered member of the Kengan Association." Old Master Wu burst out with overwhelming momentum: "What's worse is that he deceived our Wu clan. Even if he doesn't use him to threaten you, I will still settle accounts with him! Using him as a bargaining chip to give him a chance to live is already an act of leniency from me, a great act of kindness and righteousness."

That guy, Yamashita Kazuo, who's clearly just an ordinary middle-aged man, actually has such an amazing son...

Hanon mentally gave him a thumbs up. Yamashita Kazuo wasn't particularly handsome, yet his family produced two leaders of companies at the top-tier level of the Deathmatch Tournament—truly remarkable. Yamashita Kazuo and Mihono did get along well, and even if they weren't acquaintances, seeing a stranger in danger was only right to help, and saving his life wasn't a bad thing.

However, Kanon was curious: "Who is the other person?"

“Hehehe, I also considered that Yamashita Kenzo might not be enough to impress President Suoh, so I had no choice but to choose someone you care about.” Old Master Wu’s expression was actually a little conflicted: “The little girl from the Takakaze family, is her name Kanon? She is Garuda’s new friend, but she is also President Suoh’s best partner. There are even rumors that you two have a relationship that goes beyond friendship? My second target is her.”

"Hana, Hanon?" Miho exclaimed, calling out "Hana" while looking at "Flavor". However, there was not much fear in her eyes, but rather a lot of surprise and astonishment. Hanon met her gaze, and the emotions in her eyes were similar.

The person that Grandpa Wu used to threaten Hanon... uh, it was still Hanon.

Section 185, Chapter 183: The Great Monsters

"Well then, President Suoh, just make a choice!"

In Suoh Seiji's lounge, Grandpa Wu was completely unaware that the person he was using to threaten Kanon was Kanon herself, and he was still urging Miho to make a decision quickly.

Miho exchanged a glance with Kanon, then nodded and said, "Alright, Kanon... uh, Kanon must be safe and sound!" She had meant to say, "Kanon will take Adam's place in the competition," but changed her words before she could finish, thus making it more palatable.

"We agree to your request. Flavor will replace Adam in the game."

Grandpa Wu nodded in satisfaction. In fact, he was also quite hesitant. If Mei Hui really refused, as the Wu clan patriarch who always kept his word, he would have to send someone to assassinate Hana. Not only would that offend the Eagle Wind Clan, but it would also make Garuda very sad, which would be terrible!

The old man was gambling, gambling that Hanon held such a heavy place in Miho's heart that it was impossible to lose her. After all, negotiations sometimes involve mutual harm; whoever values ​​their bargaining chips more must make more concessions. Now, facts have proven him right. The girl named "Yo Hanon" is indeed Miho's beloved. Killing her would bring a lot of trouble to the Wu clan, but Miho couldn't bear that loss. Compromise was her only option.

A smile played on his lips, and Old Master Wu said with great pride, "This is the art of negotiation! I'm still got it! Ha~"

Well, Grandpa Wu had no idea that the result of his hard work was actually decided by Suoh Seiji long ago. Miho and Kanon only waited for him to finish explaining his conditions out of curiosity and politeness... I guess ignorance is bliss.

Upon hearing that Mihono had agreed, Wu Lei'an was extremely excited: "Great! Great! Great!"

He strode forward, almost face to face with Hanon, his fierce aura nearly engulfing her. This made Hanon very uncomfortable; she wasn't used to being so close to a rude guy, so she took a few steps back to create some distance.

Lei An interpreted this action as a sign of guilt, and became even more arrogant: "Trash, lowlife, scum, it's too late to be cowardly now! I've decided to take you down in the arena!"

With a cold snort, Huayin couldn't stand Wu Lei'an's arrogant and domineering manner any longer. This guy truly proved that sheer strength alone is not attractive, and that martial virtue is just as important as martial arts skills.

"Stop your cheap provocations. I think all you're good at is talking."

"Ha, even a mere small fish is lively and jumping around!" Wu Lei'an's eyes twitched, looking at Hua Yin with disdain.

"Clap, clap." With a light clap of his hands, Old Master Wu stopped Lei An's trash talk: "That's enough. Look, the battle between Samurai Wakatsuki and Julius has begun. Let's go back to the stands and prepare for the next battle."

So the Wu clan turned and left, with Wu Lei'an not forgetting to taunt them one last time: "Hey, just wash your neck and wait for me to kill you, hahaha."

The Wu clan arrived in a huff and left satisfied, leaving behind Hanon, Miho, and Adam in a brief silence as they stared at the messy lounge.

Adam was the first to break the silence: "Miss, you have to be careful. That Wu Lei'an may have a foul mouth, but his skills are real. He's definitely a formidable opponent."

Just now, when Wu Yizu came to question him, Adam and Lei An exchanged a few blows. Adam was immediately thrown to the ground by Lei An. At that moment, Adam knew that he was no match for Lei An. If he were to fight in the next match, he would be a complete loser.

Hanon shrugged, not worried about it: "Don't worry, didn't I say that since I dared to switch, I have a way to deal with that bastard?"

"Okay, do you want me to warm you up?"

"No need, I've already warmed up." Kanon looked at herself; after the battle with Bando, her appearance was actually quite sloppy. "I need to change my clothes."

"Oh! Kanon, how did you get hurt?" Kanon had been standing in front of Miho, with her back to her, so Miho only noticed the bloodstains on Kanon now and cried out in surprise.

"Don't worry." Kanon reached out and ruffled Miho's hair. "Most of it is other people's blood... I think the first meeting after me will be easy. That slovenly old man is really lucky!"

Because the door to the Suoh Steel Works' rest room was broken and the room was quite messy, Kanon couldn't change her clothes there, so the group went to the Byakuya News' rest room instead. Along the way, they could vaguely hear cheers, shouts, and screams coming from the arena, which must have been very intense.

The match was indeed very intense. The previous match between Guan Lin and Mutba was already a duel between two strong men, but those two at least had some skill and were not as physically imposing as Wakatsuki and Julius. This battle, however, truly entered the script of a monster showdown.

Wakatsuki Samurai is 193 cm tall and weighs 193 kg.

Julius Reinhardt is 205 cm tall and weighs 210 kg.

In terms of physique, these two are undoubtedly among the top tier of fighters in the ultimate duel, second only to Kono Haruo in terms of statistics, and their muscle firmness far surpasses Haruo's. Correspondingly, their blows are also the most devastating; the sound of them punching and pounding each other's muscles is awe-inspiring to every spectator.

Hanon was no exception. Halfway through changing her clothes, she was drawn to the battle and stared at the screen naked, watching the intense fight.

However, since it was already quite late when watching the match, Kanon didn't see much of the fighting. As Julius won the offensive battle by a narrow margin, Wakatsuki Samurai unleashed a deadly move—Core Burst.

Kanon was all too familiar with the principle behind this move. The reason why she could deliver punches that surpassed most fighters with her small frame was because of the explosive power of squeezing her muscles and then releasing them. "Exploding Core" could indeed greatly enhance attack power, and for Wakatsuki Samurai to execute it with her physique... just thinking about it was terrifying.

The explosive effect was remarkable; even the monstrous Julius was forced to his knees, trembling, whether from pain or fear, it was unclear. In the ensuing battle, Julius consistently avoided direct confrontation with Wakatsuki, and his initial advantage was completely eroded.

However, contrary to most people's imagination, Julius is not just a big guy. Just as Schwarzenegger is the top figure in bodybuilding history, he can also be an excellent actor and politician. To build muscles to the extreme, it is not only due to talent and hard work, but also to corresponding wisdom and knowledge.

Big guys have big brains, and Julius is a calm warrior who constantly observes and analyzes the situation during battle. After a standoff, his observations of Wakatsuki's version of "Exploding Core" have yielded results.

"Based on all the signs, it can be inferred that Wakatsuki's move has a short effective range and can only be launched at close range. The first strike was so unexpected, but it didn't hit my vital point... because Wakatsuki has an old injury in her ankle!"

Having made up his mind, Julius also determined his battle strategy. In the next round, he deliberately endured the bombardment of Wakatsuki's "core explosion," suppressing the urge to vomit blood, and opened his arms to embrace Wakatsuki.

"You've lost, Samurai Wakatsuki!"

Section 186, Chapter 184: Monsters Clash, the Hunt Begins

Julius's strength is said to be the strongest in human history. Whether it is truly the greatest in history is hard to say, but it is basically reliable that he was the strongest in his time. With such terrifying power applied to the spine of his opponent, the pain and pressure would be unbearable even for the Wakatsuki Samurai, who was also a monster.

Wakatsuki, held tightly in Julius's arms, looked pained. His mouth was wide open, but no sound came out, only low growls, clearly pushed to his limit. He knew he would surely lose if things continued this way, so he frantically threw punches at Julius's ribs.

An ordinary person would have given up long ago after being beaten like that by Wakatsuki, but it was Julius who was taking the heavy blows. His muscles were thick enough, and he knew that victory or defeat depended on this, so he rallied his spirits and did not let go no matter how much Wakatsuki struggled.

Just as Wakatsuki was about to be strangled in Julius's arms, he suddenly shrank even closer to the center of Julius's embrace—and exploded!

The Core Burst is not just a simple punch; it's a way of generating power. If Wakatsuki Samurai can use it to throw a punch, he can naturally apply it to other areas as well. At least, it's no problem to use it to break free from Julius's restraints.

In fact, the exceptionally gifted Kanon is far more powerful than Wakatsuki in utilizing the Burst Core technique. Once accustomed to this power generation method, Kanon's ordinary punches and kicks are all products of the Burst Core. Of course, due to the difference in absolute strength, Kanon's attacks enhanced with the Burst Core are not as heavy as Wakatsuki's ordinary punches and kicks, and are even less powerful than Wakatsuki after the Burst Core is activated.

How powerful is Wakatsuki's explosive core? The current situation is proof enough: even a Hercules-like figure like Julius couldn't suppress it with all his might!
