Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 68 What's the point of this?

After the epic showdown with Gensai Kuroki in the Kengan world, Guan Yi's journey in the Kengan Doomsday Tournament has come to a complete end.

He, along with several players and owners still on Ganryu Island, boarded a ship back to Tokyo and held a banquet on board.

"I never imagined that I would one day become the president of the Kengan Association!" The drunken Ken Oya toasted Kaneki and pulled Yamashita Kazuo next to him, saying, "I have absolutely no idea how to manage the Kengan Association, Kazuo, come and help me!"

"...Eh?! Me?!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As the two argued, Tokita Ohma, who was sitting opposite Guan Yi, looked at Guan Yi and said, "Guan Yi, what are your plans next?"

The young samurai and others all turned their attention to this.

That depends on the star opponents the plan assigns me. Guan Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Me? I'll travel the world and continue to hone my martial arts. I haven't even touched the highest realm of martial arts that my master spoke of yet."

I'm not afraid of opponents who are talented; I'm afraid of opponents who are both talented and hardworking.

Several contestants looked slightly serious, and Guan Yi asked, "And you, Wang Ma?"

“Me…” Wang Ma fell silent.

Throughout his journey, his goal has never been to become the 'strongest', but simply to find out who is the strongest and where his Two Tiger Style technique ranks among them.
Now he seems to have the answer.

Moreover, in the battle with Kuroki Gensai, he overexerted his body, and the hidden ailment he had been recuperating over the past three years suddenly flared up and became difficult to suppress.

"I'll probably return to a normal life, focus on recovering, and do some rehabilitation exercises. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll catch up again, Guan Yi, don't let your guard down!"

"me too."

"Hahaha, me too!"

The young samurai and Imai Kosou echoed each other, even though they could see that the gap between them and Kaneki was already quite large, but a warrior would not give up easily.

They all regarded Guan Yi as their goal; martial arts practitioners also need motivation and goals in their training!

If Guan Yi doesn't want to directly pursue that elusive and unattainable supreme realm of martial arts, he also needs a goal. Therefore, he hopes that the star opponent matched with him in the plan will not disappoint him!
This anticipation and enthusiasm lasted until he disembarked and received a call from his master, Wen Yunshen. Upon returning to his master's house, he was dumbfounded.

No, is that right?!
……

"Do you remember the phone call I made to you five days ago, Guan Yi? A senior colleague has heard about your talent and wants to meet you and give you some guidance."

Over 70 years old, Wen Yun Shen was radiant. Dressed in his training clothes, he didn't have time to say anything else before pulling Guan Yi into his senior brother's car.

As the car started moving, Wen Yunshen continued, "Speaking of this senior, he is a legend in our Chinese martial arts world, the undisputed strongest, and may only be one step away from that supreme realm!"

"We also have a competition in China that is similar to the Kengan Elimination Tournament, but it is only held once every hundred years. Only a very small number of martial artists can be invited to participate. It is a peak event that is far more prestigious than the Kengan Elimination Tournament and is only for the most outstanding martial artists!"

Most of the opponents you encounter in the Kengan Tournament aren't even qualified to participate. And while the tournament itself is just an ordinary 'Grand Tournament,' the winner is awarded the highest honor: the title of 'Sea Emperor'!

Upon hearing this, Guan Yi sensed something was amiss. Sure enough, Wen Yun Shen continued, "103 years ago, this senior participated in the Grand Tournament at the age of 46 and won, earning the title Guo Haihuang. As of today, very few people remember his original name."

Although he lost to his opponent in the new Grand Tournament three years ago, his opponent was a monster known as the 'strongest creature on earth,' the strongest in the world. Therefore, Guo Haihuang is still recognized as the pinnacle of Chinese martial arts.

Over the past year, Guo Haihuang has gradually retired and lived in seclusion in the countryside, only occasionally gathering young people to offer guidance. "Guan Yi, you are the youngest among those he has gathered."

Wen Yun Shen looked expectant: "I haven't seen Guo Haihuang for many years. Having Feng Chen (Senior Brother) drive over is also partly to have Haihuang give me some pointers. I hope he won't be unhappy about it."

Guan Yi was in a state of utter confusion. Guo Haihuang?!

The car slowly drove away from the capital and arrived at a small village in the beautiful Hebei province. In a detached rural courtyard, Guan met his destination: Guo Haihuang, who is 149 years old this year!
It was an extremely thin, small old man, sitting calmly in a wheelchair, admiring the sunset. He was extremely old; the wrinkles on his face looked like spiderweb-like cracks, as if they might shatter into pieces at any moment.

But his eyes were very bright.

When he saw Guan Yi and the others arrive, he jumped off his wheelchair, his frail body looking as if it were about to be blown away by a gust of wind.

"Is this Guan Yi? Hahaha, he is indeed a very good young man." He looked Guan Yi up and down, then looked at his senior brother and said, "More than 30 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Feng Chen is so grown up now. Yun Shen, you have taken in two good disciples."

Wen Yunshen bowed deeply: "Wen Yunshen of Xingyi Quan greets Guo Haihuang."

Guan Yi and his senior brother quickly followed.

Guo Haihuang waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities, walked up to Guan Yi, and suddenly smiled.

"Come and punch me, young man."

Guan Yi paused for a moment.

Just as Wen Yun Shen was about to speak, saying, "Listen to Guo Haihuang, don't worry that your two moves can hurt Haihuang," he saw Guan Yi had already taken action.

Advance, twist your hips, deliver a punch!

The advancing punch was so graceful that it could be described as beautiful. Its continuous movements allowed the punch to contain the power of the whole body, and the wind from the punch made a loud whistling sound!

puff--

The punch landed heavily on Guo Haihuang's face.

Even a monster like Ganagi would have his nose broken, be stunned for a few seconds, and fly several meters away if hit by such a punch. An ordinary person would die instantly!

But when the punch landed on Guo Haihuang's face, Guan Yi felt as if his strength was like a mud dragon entering the sea, swallowed and dissolved by an invisible abyss!
Under Guan Yi's fist, Guo Haihuang's smile widened: "Very decisive, it's my turn."

As the thin fist swung out, Guan Yi found himself with nowhere to dodge. Guo Haihuang's punching trajectory blocked all his escape routes; unless he jumped directly backward, there was no way he could avoid it.

But jumping backwards is illogical in martial arts.

Then let’s give it a try!

In a flash, Guan Yi chose to straighten his neck and spine, turning sideways to meet the attack with his back. His master-level bear form made even Kuroki Gensai's demonic spear only penetrate a little bit, but it almost instantly collapsed when it came into contact with Guo Haihuang's fist!

A sharp pain surged through him, and Guan Yi slid backward, retreating more than ten meters before crashing into the courtyard wall. His feet had dug two furrows in the ground, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.

"You actually caught it? Not bad!" Guo Haihuang exclaimed in surprise, "A 28-year-old Xingyi Quan master, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen!"

Grandmaster? Wen Yun Shen and his senior brother were shocked. Guan Yi could already be called a Xingyi Grandmaster?!
Guan Yi did not reply.

Blood gushing from his throat and a mouthful of sour mucus blocked his vocal cords.

This is my celebrity rival? The local star who will be my opponent and give me pointers?
Baki's Guo Haihuang? What happened to Kengan Ashura? Where did he come from?!
Although Kengan and Baki are both fighting manga, and although these two works seem to have a connection, you want me to use Kengan's punches to beat Baki's Poseidon?

What am I supposed to use to fight?!
Wait a minute, if Guo Haihuang is the local star, then who is the international superstar?!
