As the battle resumed, Wang Ma's disadvantage suddenly became apparent. Although his stamina had recovered, his physical condition was still no match for his own in his divine state. In contrast, Hanon only took one punch, resulting in a severe bruise on her shoulder, but at most it only affected one of her four limbs. Her overall speed was still incredibly fast, and the force of her blows was extremely fierce.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Wangma's body had been nearing its limit for a long time. After fighting against a master like Hanon, he had exceeded his original dangerous limits several times. His stamina was running out, and every punch and every block was burning away Wangma's very essence—the moment it burned out would be his death.

Under such circumstances, even though Wang Ma had exhausted all his techniques and tried to outmaneuver Kanon, he achieved almost nothing.

After yet another round of "Water Swallow" attacks, Wang Ma almost saw despair: "This guy's defense is too solid. The Water Swallow's elusive attacks didn't affect her at all... And, has her shoulder recovered?"

Yes, don't forget that among Kanon's use of "cheat codes," there's also a technique that quickly wiggles muscles to promote blood circulation! Just now, Kanon realized that the threat posed by Ohma to her was much smaller, so she diverted some attention during the attack to manipulate her body's repair and conditioning. By the time Ohma noticed this, Kanon's shoulder had already regained its vitality.

As Ohma grew increasingly exhausted, Kanon grew stronger. At this point in the battle, although the two were still exchanging blows, their actual strength difference was already obvious.

"Wang Ma-kun, you've done very well." Hanon advised, "Wu Lei'an after his liberation, and Mirai Zero with ultimate speed, they are both superhumans, but they didn't do as much damage to me as you. You are the strongest opponent I've encountered in this tournament so far, and I admire you very much... So, give up. Everyone has already acknowledged your strength, so don't keep pushing yourself."

Ohma didn't reply, not because he didn't want to, but because the pressure he was under was far greater than that of Kanon, and he had no time to answer... His moves suddenly became even more fierce, which was probably a manifestation of Tokita Ohma's determination to never give up!

"Fine, I didn't expect you to admit defeat anyway." This was an expected outcome. Hanon took a deep breath, and her power suddenly increased to a new level. This wasn't because Hanon had activated "Valkyrie Mode," but rather...

Hanon has been holding back ever since she started attacking again!

When Hanon unleashed her full power with a heavy punch, spinning with the Rakshasa Palm, it struck Wangma with such ferocity that it immediately broke his defenses. Even though Wangma managed to block the attack, his arm, which he used to defend, developed bruises, became swollen and painful, and eventually lost all feeling.

"Ah, where am I? What am I doing? Right, I'm fighting, and my opponent is Flavor..." Exhaustion and pain made Ohma's consciousness somewhat hazy, but even in his hazy state, he remained determined: "Am I still in good condition? Can I still use Ghost Strike? If I fail even with this move, I'm in big trouble..."

Ohma's gaze swept over Yamashita Kazuo, whose expression was full of worry, yet also seemed to contain an urge to cheer Ohma on... Although Kanon didn't understand how others could glean so much emotion from a single glance, Ohma did indeed receive immense encouragement from Yamashita Kazuo at that moment.

When Kanon delivered her final powerful punch, Ohma charged towards her.

The ultimate technique of the Two Tigers Style, Demon Slash, is activated once again!

"Here it comes!" The Ghostly Ao left a great shock on Hanon, so she was always on guard against this move. When she saw that Ohma made a blocking motion, Hanon's attacking arm was instantly withdrawn!

Is Kanon's real killing move to use a feint to lure out Oni-Ao, followed by a heavy blow with her other arm...?

In that instant, Yamashita Kazuo, who was watching from the sidelines, saw Flavor and Ohma make a very complicated change of moves. First, Flavor threw a heavy punch, tricking Ohma into blocking, and used the Ghostly Strike. Then Flavor withdrew her punch and attacked Ohma with her other hand. Just as she was about to hit Ohma, Flavor suddenly changed her move again.

"Flavor" forcibly withdrew his fist without any elegance. Judging from his tightly furrowed brows, it was clear that even pulling back at the limit made him feel very uncomfortable. But the one who felt even worse was Wang Ma. He had clearly dodged a heavy punch to the face, but judging from his expression, he was filled with astonishment, resentment, and regret. It seemed that it was a great misfortune that "Flavor" had not beaten him with all his might.

Yes, this is Wang Ma's misfortune!

The ultimate technique of the Two Tigers Style, Oni-Ao, is indeed a powerful counterattack technique. However, contrary to what most people expect, Oni-Ao does not have a fixed form. If you think that you can break Oni-Ao by deceiving its defense, you will be making a big mistake and will instead fall into Oni-Ao's trap.

The principle behind Oni-Awakening is to first use the Manipulation Form to guide power into the body, then use the Water and Heaven Form to completely release the power, moving it to the part of the body to be attacked, while avoiding self-harm during the power transmission. Once the enemy's power reaches the attack point, the Fire and Heaven Form is used to combine the enemy's power with one's own power into a stronger attack. Finally, the body parts strengthened by the Vajra Form bear this super-powerful force to counterattack the enemy.

This move incorporates all the fundamental skills of the Erhu-ryu style, and the mastery of power is unparalleled. When using it, there are no requirements on the part of the body that receives or exerts force. Just now, it seemed that Hanon had tricked Wangma into blocking, but in reality, that was a bait for Wangma to lure Hanon into throwing a heavy punch. What Wangma was really waiting for was to take Hanon's heavy punch head-on with his own face, and then use the force of the rotation to deliver a high kick, thereby winning in one blow and establishing victory.

However, who could have imagined that Hanon would give up the perfect opportunity to attack at the last moment, failing to land that powerful punch and dashing Ohma's last hope of turning the tide!

"The techniques of the Niko-ryu style are very ingenious. I always felt that as the ultimate technique, Oni-saku shouldn't be just an ordinary blocking technique. Now, seeing the regretful look in Ohma-kun's eyes, am I right?"

This was Kanon's thought process. She wasn't a madman like Setsuna or Raian, nor a reckless martial arts fanatic like Ohma. Like Mutaba, she was a pragmatic fighter, calm and cautious. She loved fighting, but she wasn't a hot-blooded seeker who disregarded everything. When she realized that Kisame was no ordinary fighter, Kanon made a reasonable choice—to back down a bit, observe further, and wait. After all, seeing that Tokita Ohma looked like he could collapse at any moment, time was on Kanon's side.

Yamashita Kazuo's surprise, Tokita Ohma's fear, and Kanon's contemplation all happened in an instant. After they finished thinking about their own thoughts, Kanon and Ohma's duel was not even over yet.

Realizing that her last-minute "cowardly" move had actually broken the true Demon's Strife, Kanon immediately executed a final change of tactics. After retracting her fists, she lunged forward, pinning down Tokita Ohma's torso and dragging him to the ground...

"I broke my promise," Hanon said softly. "I will use a sleeping technique."

Author's Note: Ahem, I'll be giving Kanon's first experience with a bedroom technique to Ohma. This is probably the only time Kanon will use a bedroom technique in the final match, since she's doing it with a tiger... As for Kuroki and Kiba, forget about them. Their physical abilities are good, and their techniques are even more incredible. If I wanted to write about a bedroom technique, Ohma would be the most suitable.

Hmm, practicing sleeping techniques with Garuda seems even better...

Chapter 212 Chapter 210: Huayin’s sleeping skills

After "Cowardly Breaking the Demon's Strike," Kanon has two options. One is to retreat and continue to wear down Ohma's stamina with striking techniques, eventually killing his opponent. This is an extremely safe approach and a sure way to win. However, if that happens, Ohma might actually die! This guy is full of fighting spirit and doesn't understand the meaning of giving up. He might just keep attacking until Kanon kills him.

Another option is ground techniques.

Anyone whose trachea is compressed for more than seven seconds will fall into a coma, regardless of how much energy they have left. Therefore, if Kanon wants to save Ohma's life, using a ground technique is a better choice; it is more subtle and can decide the outcome more quickly.

However, while ground techniques may be gentle, they are even more dangerous than striking techniques. Especially in the current situation of Kanon and Ohma, Kanon's choice of ground techniques is actually abandoning her own advantages and stepping into Ohma's territory.

There are no shortcuts in ground fighting; it all depends on the purity of daily practice. Tokita Ohma is not only a warrior honed over many years but also a martial artist who specializes in using softness to overcome hardness. On the other hand, Kanon, although trained by the best judo masters, has not studied ground fighting in detail and has not practiced much. Therefore, even though there is a huge difference in physical ability between her and Ohma, she may not necessarily have the advantage in ground fighting.

After falling to the ground with Kanon, Ohma was also a little surprised. He quickly realized that Kanon had made this choice to "protect" him, and he was somewhat moved: "This girl is so kind... But I have to win!"

Hanon reached out and grabbed Ohma's neck and arm, throwing him to the ground with tremendous force. Then, she tried to press her elbow against Ohma's neck, but Ohma also reached out and touched the back of Hanon's neck. His fingers suddenly tightened, and the strong force made Hanon feel a lot of pain. The force in her hand softened, and Ohma broke free from his restraint.

This is the Two Tiger Style: Vajra Form: Iron Finger. Next, Ohma used his most skilled move, "Willow," guiding Kanon's body to tilt to the side...

"Are you kidding me? How can I get into your rhythm!" Hana shouted angrily, her muscles tensing up suddenly like a huge block of iron, making it impossible for Ohma to move her. In the instant Ohma was hindered, Hana quickly softened her body and moved behind Ohma to form a rear naked choke.

Wang Ma's stamina was almost depleted, and his body was as limp as a puddle of liquid. In addition, he was shirtless, and his skin was covered in sweat, making him slippery. It was difficult for Hanon to have a firm grip on him. Before the rear naked choke could be formed, Wang Ma slipped out of her arms and instead pulled Hanon's arm, forming a bowline armbar.

Kanon broke free again with brute force, and Ohma countered with technique. They broke free again, countered again, broke free again, and countered again... For a moment, the two engaged in a fierce Jiu-Jitsu exchange! Well, Kanon mainly relied on brute force to defend, while Ohma, who was at a physical disadvantage, gained the upper hand and became the main attacker.

"Enough!" Clearly annoyed, Hanon shoved Ohma aside, straightened up, and stepped back.

This guy's sleeping skills are too good, I have absolutely no chance!

However, Ohma had already gotten carried away and discovered Kanon's weakness—insufficient practice in techniques! Whether it was ground techniques, joint locks, or chokes, Kanon's technical level was only considered to be among the better levels of an ordinary martial artist. If Ohma's physical strength hadn't declined so much and Kanon's strength hadn't been so great, Ohma might have won long ago if they had competed in techniques from the beginning... Of course, it's not too late to make up for it now.

When the battle begins, Ohma may not be able to get close enough to Kanon to unleash her combo attack, but once Kanon actively engages in the combo attack, she is not out of Ohma's control range!

Hanon's retreat failed to create distance between her and Ohma. Ohma used the "Fire Walk" technique of the Two Tigers style, closing in on Hanon with highly deceptive footwork. Just as Hanon threw a punch to force him back, Ohma lowered his center of gravity, dodging the heavy blow and lunging at Hanon's side. He pressed one hand against Hanon's neck and the other against her lower back, then thrust his legs forward, attempting to lock Hanon in his embrace.

Two Tigers Flow - Water and Sky Form - Water Dragon Vein!

This move was originally a terrifying killing move used to instantly break the opponent's lumbar spine, but now it has been used as a strangulation technique to make the opponent lose consciousness. Although the killing power has been reduced, the pain has been greater - Hanon's neck was strangled and her back was also pressed against by Ohma's legs. It seemed that there was no possibility of breaking free.

Of course not! Kanon's technique in team battles is indeed far inferior to Ohma's, but she has brute strength!

When using striking techniques, Kanon is reluctant to activate "Valkyrie Mode" because it would instantly kill Ohma, but when using combo attacks, it doesn't seem like it's a bad idea to enhance her own power...

With a thump-thump sound, Hanon activated her "transformation" and, using only the strength of her neck, flung Ohma away!

"Damn it, is she going to kill me?" Wang Ma's mood was heavy. In his opinion, after Hanon activated "Pre-borrowing", the next step was to compete with him in striking techniques. He could only use Oni-Ao to deal with her, but if Oni-Ao was seen through, what were his chances of winning?

The next second, Kanon's heavy punch came.

dead!

In that instant, Wang Ma's fate flashed through his mind...

"No!" Wang Ma roared, and immediately met Hanon's heavy punch head-on—Oni Awakening, the third time!

“…Huh?” Wang Ma’s roar instantly turned into surprise, and this was his last surprise.

Kanon changed her move again. Instead of hitting Ohma, she pulled back her fist at the last moment and, relying on the speed and strength brought by "Valkyrie Mode", she pounced into Ohma's arms. She followed Ohma's example and used the technique that Ohma had just used - Two Tigers Style: Water Dragon Vein!

Well, even though it was just a simple imitation of the action, Kanon's strength was just that great, and Ohma's stamina was weakened to the limit. Without the initiative, he was still taken down by this move.

When practicing judo with that bunch of eccentric guys from the extreme style, the red belt grandma once said that there is no luck or trickery in ground techniques, but the next sentence was—standing techniques, however, have opportunities!

The old lady also said that it is better to use your feet well than your hands, and better to use your brain well than your feet.

Kanon's original intention to "protect" Ohma remained unchanged. She did not forget her original intention until the very last moment. The Valkyrie mode was just a decoy, making Ohma think that Kanon had given up the physical combat and switched to striking techniques to decide the outcome. However, Kanon's real intention was to put pressure on Ohma in terms of team techniques, not to really kill him.

This time, Wang Ma was truly deceived. Under the lock of the Water Dragon Vein, the pressure on his back caused him immense pain, while the lock on his neck continuously cut off the air. 7, 6, 5, 4... The battle was heading towards its end.

"Damn it—" This was Wang Ma's desperate situation. His last choice was to climb onto Hanon's fingers with both hands. If he could break one or two fingers, he believed that the excruciating pain and decreased grip strength would give him a chance to escape... But he couldn't break them.

I can't budge it!

Don't be ridiculous. Kanon's physical condition has reached such a level in "Valkyrie Mode" that how could Ohma's weak body possibly squeeze out so much power to damage her joints?

3...

"Ah, I really don't want to lose..." Wang Ma's mind was filled with memories of the past, his acquaintance with his master Erhu, the fleeting grudges, and the constant battles and training.

2...

Wang Ma thought of Kazuo Yamamoto again, his encounter with this uncle, his daily life with Secretary Akiyama, his battle with Rito, and every detail of the decisive match... Looking at Kazuo, the uncle's eyes were already filled with tears.

"I really want to keep walking down this road..."

1.

Kanon released Ohma, stood up, walked over and patted Yamashita Kazuo on the shoulder.

"Uncle, the outcome is decided."

Author's Note: The battle with Ohma was written for quite a long time, after all, he is the protagonist of the original work, so he has to have enough presence!

Section 213, Chapter 211: Gensai Kuroki Sets Records

In the arena, the fight between Kuroki and Mutba had ended; in fact, the match had been over for quite some time.

The most mysterious and lucky fighter in this year's elimination tournament, Gensai Kuroki, finally made his appearance and sparred with the audience, giving them a real treat—two byes! Two byes! In the battle to decide the president of the Kengan Association and the number one person in the Japanese business world, to be able to face an opponent who forfeited twice, Kuroki has undoubtedly created an unusual record... well, a not-so-glorious one.

Kuroki is actually the strongest fighter in this desperate match, but unfortunately, no one knows that.

Kuroki himself didn't care about any of this, and his employer and old friend, Takakaze Kiriki, was also a carefree person. However, rumors spread like wildfire, and whispers about Motorbike Head Motorcycles and Suoh Steel's secret deal had already reached the Kengan Association and then spread to the underground networks around the world. People began to pay attention to the relationship between Suoh Steel, Boss Burger, and Byakuya News. They even discovered the connection between Suoh Steel and Miyoshimi Seafood through the fisherman, Uncle Horo Yoshiaki... In short, in the eyes of conspiracy theorists, the mastermind behind this deadly tournament had changed from President Nogi of the Nogi Group to Suoh Mieko or Takakaze Kiriki. This small group was the real rival of the current chairman, Katahara Metsudou!

Correspondingly, Miho and Kirito's image in the public eye has become that of a very sinister and cunning person. If you were to go out and tell someone that Suoh Seitetsu's Suoh Miho is just a clueless, bottom-ranked newbie in the Kengan Association, while Takakaze Kirito with his motorcycle head is a truly aloof, middle-aged wanderer who doesn't care about worldly affairs, the listener would probably be the first to smash the speaker's head: "You're not allowed to belittle my idols! The grand schemes of those big shots are beyond your comprehension!"

Uh... conspiracy theories always have a market.

In fact, the match between Kuroki and Mutba was very short. Others may not know how powerful Kuroki is, but Mutba has heard of this top-notch assassin in the Japanese assassination world. After exchanging a few moves, he found that Kuroki was indeed worthy of his reputation and had amazing strength. Mutba tried to use all his trump cards, but he could not do anything to Kuroki. The strongest mercenary on the African continent then admitted defeat.
