On the stage, the battle continued.
Bang and Garou simultaneously used Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist, the same technique performed in two different styles, one old and one young, forming a wonderful synergy.
Mr. Allen's eyes lit up slightly; he responded with Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist as well, but he merged the advantages of both, making his execution even more fluid and natural.
"Beautiful!" Bang could not help but exclaim, a look of relief flashing in his eyes.
Atomic Samurai and Flash attacked again, their coordination even more seamless this time.
Mr. Allen smiled faintly, then suddenly changed his moves, using Atomic Samurai's sword techniques, using his hand as a blade, precisely striking Flash's weak point.
"What?" Atomic Samurai stared in shock as Mr. Allen used his unique sword techniques.
"Watch closely," Mr. Allen said as he demonstrated, his hand-blade cutting through the air with a sharp whooshing sound.
Metal Bat and Tanktop Master launched a fierce assault simultaneously, their power so immense that the entire stage trembled slightly.
Mr. Allen did not meet them head-on; instead, he used softness to overcome hardness, guiding their forces to collide with each other.
With a 'bang,' Metal Bat and Tanktop Master crashed into each other and fell to the ground in disarray.
Tatsumaki finally couldn't resist making a move, her Psychokinesis surging towards Mr. Allen like a tide.
At the same time, Speed-o-Sound Sonic's figure suddenly appeared behind Mr. Allen, a shuriken thrusting directly at his back.
As if having eyes in the back of his head, Mr. Allen subtly shifted his body to avoid Sonic's sneak attack, while simultaneously raising a hand to grab into the air, miraculously seizing Tatsumaki's Psychokinesis energy out of thin air.
"Psychokinesis is not used like this," Mr. Allen said calmly, reshaping the energy in his hand into a green energy ball, "You need to clearly see the flow of energy."
He gently pushed the energy ball back to Tatsumaki, who hastily caught it, an expression of disbelief on her face.
Deep underground, Psykos watched the battle through Gyoro Gyoro, her massive eyeball filled with shock and excitement.
"It's too perfect," she murmured to herself, "Not only is his physical conditioning far beyond ordinary people, but his Combat Intuition is also astonishing; facing the encirclement of ten strong individuals, he can still calmly comment and guide."
She saw Mr. Allen's ease in battle, feeling both reassured and worried.
She was reassured that Mr. Allen's strength far exceeded expectations, but worried that the Hero Association might have further plans.
"Where is Gouketsu?" she thought anxiously, "I must quickly send support to Mr. Allen."
Just then, a loud bang suddenly echoed from the stadium, and countless spectators on the east side were instantly killed or injured.
The entire structure shook violently.
"What's going on?" people in the stands looked around in a panic.
On the stage, the strong individuals also temporarily stopped, looking warily in the direction from which the tremor came.
A large hole was blasted open in the eastern wall of the stadium.
From the dust, a massive figure slowly walked into the arena.
"Gouketsu," Psykos saw this scene through Gyoro Gyoro and breathed a sigh of relief, "He's finally here."
As the dust cleared, Gouketsu's enormous body fully appeared; he surveyed the arena, his gaze finally settling on Mr. Allen on the stage.
"Allen, I'm here to support you," Gouketsu's voice was deep and resonant.
Sitch's face changed drastically in the VIP box: "Gouketsu of the Monster Association! They really are colluding!"
The audience immediately fell into a panic, people screaming and trying to escape, but were blocked by the protective barrier.
On the stage, all the strong individuals, except for Bang and a few others, had their eyes fixed on Mr. Allen, their gazes filled with vigilance and hostility.
Mr. Allen looked at Gouketsu, frowning slightly: "Who sent you?"
Gouketsu was stunned for a moment: "Gyoro Gyoro-sama sent me to support you."
"Meddling," Mr. Allen said indifferently, "I don't need support."
He turned to the strong individuals on the stage, assuming a stance to continue the battle: "Let's continue."
Bang blinked: "Allen, you really are with the Monster Association..."
"Teacher," Mr. Allen interrupted him, "The focus now is on the battle at hand, isn't it?"
Atomic Samurai snorted coldly: "Colluding with Monster, your crime is compounded!"
Garou, however, grinned: "Who cares if they're Monster or not, as long as the fight is enjoyable!"
Gouketsu stood in front of the damaged wall, somewhat at a loss.
Psykos saw this scene through Gyoro Gyoro, her heart filled with extreme anxiety.
"Mr. Allen, please allow me to assist you!" Gouketsu shouted.
Mr. Allen didn't even turn his head: "Stand still, don't interrupt my battle."
Psykos couldn't help but stamp her foot in the underground control room: "What is he thinking? He clearly has a chance to team up with Gouketsu and easily deal with these Heroes."
But then she suddenly understood something, a flash of realization in her massive eyeball: "So that's it, he's enjoying this battle, testing his limits."
On the stage, the battle erupted again. This time, the strong individuals went all out even more, because they knew that a Monster Association executive was lurking.
Mr. Allen's pressure immediately increased, but his expression remained calm, even with a hint of pleasure.
His movements became even more exquisite; every martial art came naturally to him, sometimes as fierce as Garou, sometimes as soft as Bang, sometimes as swift as Flash, and sometimes as precise as Atomic Samurai.
"He seems to be learning our techniques?" Flash was shocked to find Mr. Allen using his unique movement technique.
Bang's eyes flashed with both relief and worry: "He is merging the strengths of various schools, creating his own martial way."
Bang's words did not attract much attention in the noisy arena, but the strong individuals on the stage heard them clearly.
They found that Mr. Allen not only perfectly replicated their unique techniques in their clashes but also integrated and elevated them.
"He's using us to sharpen his blade!" Atomic Samurai spat, his broken sword whirling more rapidly, but his attacks became more cautious.
Flash's speed increased again, transforming into a true streak of light, yet Mr. Allen could always anticipate his trajectory one step ahead, as if the two were dancing, with Mr. Allen leading.
"Monster," Flash thought with a secret shock.
Garou, however, grew more excited with each strike, his silver hair flying wildly; his moves continuously broke through under pressure, his instinctive Combat Intuition pushed to the extreme, even unconsciously beginning to mimic Mr. Allen's unique style that merged various schools.
"That's it! That's it!" Garou laughed wildly, his attacks like a surging tide.
Metal Bat and Tanktop Master once again launched a combined fierce assault, their power incredibly ferocious. This time, Mr. Allen no longer completely used softness to overcome hardness, but occasionally responded with just the right amount of head-on clashes, each collision producing a dull thud that shook the stage, making both of them feel their arms go numb and their hearts fill with dread.
Tatsumaki hovered high in the air, her green eyes fixed on Mr. Allen; her Psychokinesis no longer covered a large area but condensed into invisible needles, cunningly piercing into the tiny gaps in Mr. Allen's movements.
However, Mr. Allen seemed to have eyes all around him, always using the smallest movements to let the Psychokinesis needles graze past him, and even occasionally guiding them to interfere with others' attacks.
"Bastard!" Tatsumaki gritted her teeth in anger, yet she had to admit that Mr. Allen's control over the battle rhythm had reached an unparalleled level.
Suiryu and Bakuzan had long since withdrawn from the core battle circle, only barely able to provide support from the periphery; they despairingly realized that in a battle of this caliber, they had almost lost the right to even intervene.
