"Martial artists throughout history have gone to great lengths to comprehend such an abstract concept as 'exhaustion'."

King Liehai said in a deep voice.

"In an emergency, use exhaustion!"

"It's easier said than done."

"In particular, when Mr. Fanma's ultimate strike came right in front of him, the teacher was still able to show that state of exhaustion in order to avoid injury."

"It feels just like swinging a machete at a tissue floating in the air!"

Retsukai-oh explained it in great detail.

However, to the average person, this sounds like a fantasy.

Only by witnessing this battle unfolding in the present moment can one truly appreciate the reality of such a "miracle"!

Miracles are still happening—

Yujiro raised his right leg high, kicking it skyward with amazing flexibility, level with his straight body, aiming at Guo Haihuang in front of him.

Swish!

The heel, clad in black cloth shoes, stomped down like a battle axe, embedding itself into Guo Haihuang's wrinkled face.

That is a human weakness—an attack from above, which is extremely difficult to defend against.

However, Guo Haihuang managed to dissipate the force by performing several forward somersaults in mid-air, thus relieving the pressure on his face, and landed lightly once again.

Snapped!

Guo Haihuang regained his footing, only a few drops of blood trickling from his nose, which he licked away with his tongue.

"Wow, that's amazing! A true powerhouse! I haven't had a nosebleed in decades..."

This praise, rather than being an acknowledgment of Yujiro Hanma's abilities, is more a reflection of his own confidence in his martial arts skills, making him all the more admirable!

Faced with such a superb skill, Yujiro Hanma's reaction was—

"Hahahahaha!"

It was maniacal laughter.

Yujiro grinned from ear to ear, completely unconcerned.

"Is it to dissipate energy...?"

"Since ancient times, the technique of dissipating force has been an advanced skill in boxing and martial arts."

This [strongest creature on earth] slowly spoke.

"Just like a fist hitting the eye, when danger is approaching, the body stiffens; this is a natural physiological reaction in animals."

"But it is precisely because of this instinct that the situation worsens."

"Strong trees can be blown down by strong winds, but soft grass will not be destroyed by the wind."

"Adults who accidentally fall may suffer fractures; but babies who fall from heights sometimes escape unharmed."

"This is wisdom learned from nature..."

"After long-term training, boxers eventually become so skilled that they can remain unblinking even when hit by their opponent."

"In other words, training is about overcoming instinctive behaviors."

Yujiro's lips curled up. "Guo Haihuang, you overcame your instincts and completed the dissipation of power. Now I will awaken your instincts."

In other words, Yujiro needs to break the power-dissipating barrier!

Countering each move is a common tactic in combat.

But what happened next—such a level of "countering moves with moves"—is truly unparalleled!

……

……

Guo Haihuang stepped forward and, for the first time, took the initiative, throwing a punch at Yujiro.

But in the instant of close combat, Yujiro plucked a hair from Guo Haihuang's head, catching him off guard and causing Guo Haihuang's body to stiffen momentarily.

The power dissipation technique was unexpectedly cracked!

In that brief instant, Yujiro threw a punch forward, and with just a light touch, sent Guo Haihuang flying, lying flat on his back on the ground.

This punch wasn't meant to win, and it wasn't even delivered with force; it was simply to tell Guo Haihuang—I can do it.

This is the innate talent of the [strongest creature on earth]!

The battle continued.

Guo Haihuang slowly stood up, took a few steps, and walked towards Yujiro, who was several times his size.

"Strong one, try this old man's soft fist."

Guo Haihuang threw a punch at Yujiro's abdomen.

The next instant, Yujiro's expression suddenly changed drastically. He bent back and retreated, avoiding the punch.

This scene left everyone stunned, especially Baki Hanma, who was so nervous that he broke out in a sweat.

No one understood the meaning of Yujiro Hanma's "dodge" better than him—the son of the "strongest creature on earth."

It's a miracle!!

"Next..."

Guo Haihuang walked slowly forward, heading towards Yujiro.

Yujiro retreated repeatedly until he was forced into a corner with his back against the wall. He had nowhere left to retreat and watched as Guo Haihuang approached.

Swish!

Guo Haihuang took half a step forward and threw a punch.

Yujiro dodged to the side.

Guo Haihuang's fist slammed into the wall, creating a loud "boom" that cracked the entire wall like a spider web!

Splash...

A large crater was punched into the wall, and rubble fell from it.

Such a punch came from a withered and emaciated 146-year-old man.

Its power surpasses even that of the [Fierce Tiger] Wakatsuki Samurai or the [Unparalleled Strength] Oliva—those super-physical powerhouses.

—Of course, it also surpasses [the ultimate strike]!!

The one who threw that punch was Guo Haihuang.

It can be called "The Fist of the Sea Emperor"!!

……

……

"This is also a form of energy dissipation!"

Retsu Kaioh explained seriously, "It's about losing all your own weight—that's called 'exhaustion,' which transforms into energy dissipation!"

"In that completely relaxed state, turn defense into offense and unleash your punches."

"—That is, the dissipation of offensive force!"

"..."

Baki Hanma was also aware of this.

"The so-called 'effort dissipation' is simply relaxation and slowing down."

"Not only in boxing or fighting techniques, but also in modern sports, when instantaneous explosive power is required, it is necessary to be slow."

"Pitch, hit, throw, punch..."

"Every movement emphasizes staying relaxed before the burst of energy."

"..."

"exactly."

As a boxing expert, Muhammad Ali nodded in agreement, saying, "You have to be relaxed before you can unleash your power."

“The muscles of any good athlete—including mine—are usually very flexible.”

"The degree of relaxation or tightening is the key to the strike!"

"..."

On the other side, Shiraki Chengze suddenly had a whimsical idea and compared his "soul-level exhaustion" with Guo Haihuang's "energy dissipation".

...There are indeed similarities, but there are still differences.

Bai Mucheng gestured with his fist.

There is a difference between overcoming the human instinct to "dissipate energy" and letting fighting spirit take over the body to "lose energy."

In terms of achieving a state of exhaustion, Guo Haihuang is at a higher level!

Shiraki couldn't help but wonder: What level can I reach? And what exactly can I achieve?

"..."

Old Ali stared at the screen, his pupils trembling slightly.

"But even so, does that make sense? Does it explain Guo Haihuang's exaggerated striking power?!"

"Well, I suppose so," Retsu Haiwang pursed his lips, "that's the Sea Emperor!!"

……

……

Guo Haihuang threw a soft and light punch, striking Yujiro;

Guo Haihuang kicked out his thin leg, aiming at Yujiro;

boom!boom!boom……
