"Struggle is the liberation of strength! It's not like Chinese Martial Arts, which is all about relaxation and restraint, that can't unleash power!"
Yujiro's right fist, accompanied by a sonic boom that tore through the air, slammed towards Allen. This strike seemed to rip space itself apart.
"Come on, let me see the limits of the strongest creature on Earth!" Allen pulled back his right fist, all his strength condensed into a single point.
The moment their fists collided, the entire arena seemed to pause in time for a second, then a terrifying wave of air completely erupted.
"Boom—!!!"
A deafening explosion, accompanied by a visible shockwave, swept across the entire venue. The ground around the two men cracked radially, dust billowed, and gravel flew.
The people in the stands were shaken by the terrifying shockwave, stumbling and swaying. Those in the front rows were even knocked to the ground by the blast, but not a single person chose to leave. All of them stared wide-eyed at the center of the arena.
"Even if I die, it's worth it to witness this match! This... this is simply not the kind of destruction humans can cause!" The host gripped the railing in front of the host's stand tightly, barely preventing himself from being blown away.
Even if he died, he would finish commentating this earth-shattering battle!
In the center of the arena, the swirling dust gradually dissipated, leaving only Allen standing. At this moment, his entire body was flushed red, and white mist emanated from him.
As the white steam rising from Allen's body dissipated along with the smoke in the arena, the full view of the entire arena finally reappeared before everyone's eyes, and Yujiro was nowhere to be seen.
Everyone looked in the direction Allen was facing, only to see a huge hole there, with wisps of white smoke still rising from its edges, and sunlight shining through the hole.
The circular stone tower... was punched through!
The audience was silent, everyone's eyes wide, their mouths agape as if they could fit an egg inside.
"Punched through? The circular stone tower was actually punched through? This..." Doppo Orochi never expected such a result; he had already prepared to give Allen first aid.
As it turned out, not only did Allen win the clash, but he also directly punched through the circular stone tower? Yujiro wouldn't have been killed by that punch, would he?
Baki's pupils contracted violently, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead: "This destructive power is simply... inhuman!"
"Woohoo!" The usually composed Kaiou Retsu was now shouting excitedly like a playful child, waving his hands non-stop.
Kaioh Kaku laughed: "Hahahaha! Now you know why this old man changed the rules, right? If I hadn't changed the rules, I might have been killed by Little Lin if I faced him."
"This kid doesn't know his own strength."
Ron Shobun leaned against the wall; although he tried his best to act cool, his trembling legs had already betrayed him: "Lin... Allen is indeed impressive. Where did they find such a monster?"
Kaku Shunshei's laughter carried a clear tremor: "Hahahaha, good thing I'm not fighting him, otherwise, the one who got sent flying would be me!"
The host finally came to his senses, his hand holding the microphone trembling non-stop: "Unbelievable! Allen's strike actually punched through the circular stone tower! This... this is simply a miracle!"
The audience members who had been blown over by the shockwave also got up at this moment, cheering for Allen, their cheers almost lifting the roof off the venue.
"ultimate weapon! ultimate weapon!"
"One against five! One against five!"
"Is this the pinnacle of Chinese Martial Arts! Allen, I want to have your children, even though I'm a man! But love can transcend gender!"
[Ding! Hanma Bloodline (upgradable) evolution conditions met!]
[Begin evolution?]
After Allen saw that the evolution conditions were met, he ignored his panel and turned to look at the Japan-America Alliance Team's passage.
"Oliva, hurry up and come up, this should end." He finished speaking and activated his Demon Back, striking the same pose he used for that earth-shattering blow.
Oliva walked into the arena, looking at Allen, who intended to end the fight with one punch. He, who always craved battle, hesitated.
This man, known as the freest man in the world, now felt himself bound by fear. Oliva instinctively stopped, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
He had never imagined that he would one day be so afraid of an opponent. Oliva desperately wanted to move his legs forward, but at this moment, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
"I..." Oliva's voice trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"What's wrong? Does the freest man in the world also get scared?" Allen's voice betrayed impatience; he just wanted to finish the match quickly and return to the One-Punch Man world.
Once Oliva regained his courage, he would end the fight with one punch!
The audience in the stands, watching the timid Oliva in the arena, also began to whisper.
"Oliva is actually backing down!"
"Isn't he known as the freest man in the world? Why is he feeling fear?"
"The deterrent power of the ultimate weapon is truly terrifying. We solemnly promise! As long as the enemy does not use nuclear weapons, we will never deploy Allen!"
"Unbelievable! Oliva from the Japan-America Alliance Team seems to be afraid to face Allen! This is truly an unprecedented situation!" The host's voice was almost cracking.
In the Japan-America Alliance Team's preparation zone, everyone somewhat understood Oliva's reaction.
Baki sighed: "I don't blame him... Facing a monster like that, anyone would be scared."
Doppo Orochi nodded: "Oliva is quite unlucky, he just ran into Allen who has lost his patience. If he gets serious, he really might be killed with one punch."
Oliva's hands trembled uncontrollably. He looked at the huge hole and felt a chill in his heart; that terrifying destructive power made him tremble with fear.
He looked down at his fists, doubting his own strength for the first time.
"I... I surrender." Oliva painstakingly squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth; if one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't even hear his surrender.
"What?" The host exclaimed.
"Oliva actually announced his surrender! This is such a shame! I really wanted to witness their earth-shattering battle."
The audience instantly erupted.
"Surrender?"
"He surrendered before the fight even started?"
"What a pity, I still wanted to see how powerful the ultimate weapon's full-power strike would be after activating his Demon Back, but it's a shame this person named Oliva doesn't dare to step up."
Allen dropped his stance, and the white mist around him gradually dissipated. He walked forward and patted Oliva: "Go check on Yujiro."
Oliva lowered his head, his fists clenched white. As the freest man in the world, he never thought he would have a day of surrender.
But Oliva knew that if he went into the ring, he would truly die! He had reasons why he had to live, for his beloved, who was paralyzed and unable to move in bed, he could not die!
