Very decisively, without any hesitation, the whole stadium went silent when he conceded defeat. People couldn't believe their eyes and ears. Mutba was clearly in perfect condition, yet he casually said he wouldn't play anymore?

Mutba conceded defeat so readily that even his employer, Togo Itsuki, was extremely dissatisfied and threw a tantrum. But the match was over, and the hot-tempered boss had no choice but to extort a free task from Mutba to settle the matter, which was a small gain in itself.

After this match, Kuroki missed the awful record of "making his opponents forfeit three times in a row," which is a cause for celebration. However, "two opponents forfeited and one suspected match-fixing surrender" doesn't seem to be much better...

In short, this round of competition is over, and next up is the battle between White Night News and Gu Hai Pharmaceutical.

After resting for a while, Katagami Shoka stepped onto the arena and began guiding both sides of the battle into the arena.

Actually, Shekko's outfit was very beautiful today. In the first match, BOSS Hamburger forfeited, and in the second match, Mutba quickly conceded defeat, so Shekko spent a lot more time in the ring. The elimination tournament was practically Shekko's personal model show!

The third round of incense.jpg

"I don't think we need to introduce the two sides in this match too much. One is the absolute strongest fighter with the most wins in the history of the Kengan Association, a super warrior who is trying to be crowned the king in this tournament. The other is the most dazzling supernova in this tournament, a rapidly rising mysterious warrior, the eye of the storm that everyone is watching. What kind of victory or defeat will these two have?"

"Now let us welcome the representative fighter from Kokai Pharmaceuticals, standing 193 centimeters tall and weighing 193 kilograms, with a record of 306... no, 308 wins and 2 losses in the Kengan Tournament! The Tiger, Wakatsuki Samurai!"

With steady steps, Wakatsuki stepped onto the arena. After the intense duel with Julius in the previous round, Wakatsuki was clearly injured, and quite seriously. However, Wakatsuki now looked perfectly healthy, as if her previous injuries hadn't carried over to this round. Apart from the skin grafts on half of her face and her shaved head, she looked no different from a normal person.

Having fought in three hundred battles, the warrior Wakatsuki stood tall and imposing in the arena, exuding the aura of a grandmaster. Everyone who saw him couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "Truly strong..."

Katagarasu sighed inwardly before guiding another fighter: "Next up is a fighter whose every move is shrouded in mystery, yet he has won consecutive victories in this tournament, demonstrating unparalleled strength. His speed, power, technique, and even his mentality and tactics are all top-notch in the world! He is 171 centimeters tall and weighs 65 kilograms. He is the representative fighter of White Night News—Flavor Sander!"

...The entrance passage was completely silent; Hanon did not appear.

"Flavor?" After waiting for more than ten seconds without anyone appearing, She Xiang became impatient: "Flavor hasn't arrived yet..."

After confirming with the backstage staff that they had not seen Flavo, Katagarasu had no choice but to announce loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have not seen Flavo yet. According to the rules, the tournament will wait for him for one more minute. If he does not appear, we will have to declare Flavo a forfeit."

"What is Flavor doing?" At this moment, most of the fighters had gathered together to watch the battle. After all, they were all top-notch martial artists and curious about who would be the King of Kings. Naturally, they wouldn't miss the final day of the battle. However, they didn't expect that the one who would miss the battle would be the one who actually participated...

Rito's reaction was the most intense, after all, he was the first fighter to lose his qualification for the competition because he failed to attend. Later, when he tried to take Adam's position, he was "slaughtered" by Kanon. At this time, he also had the opportunity to use the position that Kanon occupied.

Rito punched the wall, extremely anxious: "Damn it, where did Flavor go?"

The audience was divided into two camps. One group consisted of Wakatsuki's supporters, who believed that Wakatsuki had intimidated Flavo with her power and began excitedly chanting Wakatsuki's name. The other group consisted of conspiracy theorists, who speculated: "Does Suoh Seitetsu have some clever scheme again? Could it be... could it be that Suoh Mieko has bribed Koukai Pharmaceuticals? Is that why they guaranteed Wakatsuki's place in the semifinals? How terrifying! Wasn't Koukai Pharmaceuticals originally aligned with the Nogi Group?"

As for the person everyone was guessing, Suoh Mieko was currently holding her head in confusion...

"Waaaaah, Kanon, where are you...?"

As the second hand ticked past one full circle, Flavor still hadn't appeared. She had no choice but to walk back to the center of the ring and announce, "Ladies and gentlemen, due to being late and unable to enter, we hereby declare Flavor forfeiting..."

"Wait a minute! Look!"

"Ah, look! There's a figure up there! What's that?"

"Is it a bird? Or an airplane?"

"No, that's... Flavo!"

A slender figure leaped down from the high stands, using the railings and platforms as footsteps, and quickly descended to the edge of the ring.

With one last burst of strength, the man leaped high into the air and landed on the ring in a pose reminiscent of Iron Man, displaying astonishing power and absolute might.

The visitor was none other than Hana.

Section 214, Chapter 212: On Strength and Weakness

By catching the tail end of the time, Kanon finally arrived at the venue, allowing the competition to continue.

"Seriously, Flavo, you need to keep track of the time!" Katahara Sayaka stomped her foot and vented her anger on Kanon. Kanon, however, was good-natured. She scratched her head while panting and apologized to Sayaka.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, something came up and I was delayed."

"Mmm, it's alright." She was ultimately easygoing; she had inherited her father, Pian Yuan Miedang's, magnanimity and broad-mindedness, and wouldn't concern herself with such details: "Then let's begin the competition, good luck!"

After Sheka stepped off the stage, Hanon faced the "fierce tiger," the Wakatsuki samurai.

"Did something delay you?" Wakatsuki was quite easygoing. Seeing that "Flavor" was panting heavily, it was clear that the journey had been very tiring, and it had probably just been in a very far place.

Hanon took a while to catch her breath before replying, "Phew—don't worry, just consider it a warm-up. It was just a small thing that delayed me."

Well, the so-called "minor matter" is probably that Kuroki Gensai has been guaranteed a spot in the finals in the next round...

Having just defeated Tokita Ohma, Kanon realized that time might be running out. After all, Kuroki was so strong, and Mutaba was so cowardly; the match might end quickly, while Kanon and Ohma's fight had taken quite a while. Realizing she might have to forfeit due to being late, Kanon abandoned Ichifusa and Ohma, rushing back to the arena as fast as she could, and at the last second, she leaped from the sky, barely making it in time.

"It's all Master Kuroki's fault for ending the battle too quickly... This time it wasn't Suoh Seigetsu who did it!"

Thinking of this, Hanon glanced outside the arena again, nodded to Miho, who was concerned about her, and told her to calm down. Looking around again, she saw that the high-level spectators were all watching intently. Garuda seemed to still be watching the match with Grandpa Wu in the VIP room, and she didn't see Kana, the Fang of Destruction, either. He was probably with the film source chairman in the VIP room?

Yamashita Kazuo did not return—that was to be expected. Kanon didn't have the time or the kindness to carry Oma back to the arena. Anyway, he had only been strangled and lost consciousness, and he would recover on his own in a while, so let Yamashita Kazuo stay with him.

Kanon's gaze finally settled on the Wakatsuki samurai: "Let's begin~"

"Hmm..." Wakatsuki nodded, also entering battle mode. He took a few deep breaths, and his momentum quickly rose to its peak, putting immense pressure on Kanon.

The pressure was so immense that even Hanon's relaxed expression turned serious: "This uncle has such a strong presence!"

Unlike the fleeting madness, the chilling power of lightning, and the ferocity of Wu Lei'an, the Wakatsuki samurai gives people a sense of solidity, toughness, and stability. His strength is reflected in both offense and defense, as well as in his mind and body. Facing him head-on would be extremely difficult, and it would be difficult to succeed by taking shortcuts. In short, he is a super strong person who is very well-balanced in all aspects.

Kanon had felt something similar from Kuroki Gensai; this was probably the aura of a grandmaster!

Facing such an opponent, Hanon dared not be careless at all. She took a few deep breaths and then adopted the stance of the karate master, clearly intending to focus on defense and evasion instead of using the Cosmic Phantom Strike.

The match was about to begin, and the fighters in the stands were discussing how the match would go.

Kaneda Suekichi said, "When the two stand together, the difference in their physiques becomes even more obvious. Wakatsuki is a super heavyweight, while Flavor is a featherweight. How is he going to deal with Wakatsuki?"

Kaneda himself was a thin fighter with poor physical talent, so he was always concerned about the fighting style of using softness to overcome hardness.

Guan Linjun suddenly declared, "I can confidently say that Wakatsuki will be the victor in this match!"

"Huh?" Inaba and Nezu, who were more lively, asked, "Why do you say that?"

Even Gaolang had doubts: "I've never fought Wakatsuki or Flavor, but from what I've observed, Flavor is extremely strong, and she's at least evenly matched with Wakatsuki, right?"

However, Guan Lin still shook his head: "Flavor Sander is extremely powerful. He was able to overcome Kiryu Setsuna, Mikazuki Zero, and Go Raian all the way through, so his strength is undeniable. I believe he is a prodigy who will bring waves to the Kengan Tournament. However, he is not the only fighter of this caliber. I have been a fighter for many years and have heard of many amazing guys, such as 'Supernovas,' 'Reformers,' and 'Saviors.' These kinds of guys who are considered the strongest or invincible have actually appeared many times before..."

"For example, the man who can kill a brown bear with just one straight punch is known as the karate master with the God-Slaying Fist."

"For example, there is a legendary mixed martial artist who is believed to have advanced the history of modern fighting techniques by a hundred years and could still be considered among the strongest even today."

"Furthermore, like Wakatsuki, there is a man with one of only a few dozen 'superhuman' physiques in the world, known as 'monstrous strength that no human can match,' a fearsome monster."

"And there's the person who has always led the underground fighting scene in South America, whose opponents are all strangled before they can even react, a judo master with a perfect record of 500 wins."

"And a genius who is said to surpass the Fang of Metsudo, whose past is completely unknown, and who uses a mysterious martial art..."

"But guess what? These guys were all defeated by Wakatsuki! And it was an overwhelming victory for Wakatsuki, it wasn't even a duel, these guys were just beaten up by the samurai Wakatsuki! Wakatsuki has fought in more than three hundred Kengan matches, and the only ones who could truly rival him were Izumi Hatsumi, who specializes in jujitsu, and Kano Aya, who can switch fighting styles according to the opponent's style. Apart from that, whether it was the speed of the decathlon champion Gozo Murobuchi or the brute force of Julius, the strongest muscle in humankind, they were all broken through by Wakatsuki one after another... Now, the only viable method for Flavor Sand is probably a surprise attack!"

After rambling on for a while, Guan Lin turned his gaze to Wakatsuki: "But do you think Wakatsuki would be so careless as to let her opponent launch a sneak attack? In my opinion, Flavo is doomed to lose."

Guan Lin's argument was very convincing. Everyone looked at the difference in physique between "Flavor" and Wakatsuki and assumed that Wakatsuki had a huge advantage. The only one who didn't see it that way was Julius Reinhardt.

"Flavor, will win..." Julius was a former member of Tokyo Electric Power Company. Although he was abandoned by the company, he was somewhat out of place among the fighters. He had also been injured by Kanon before, so he had been very quiet all day. He uttered these words and then returned to silence.

"Are you all ready?" This was the third section of the match, and the referee was still the Brazilian beauty, Paula Ana. She signaled for both sides to prepare, raised her arm high, and then swung it down—"The match begins!"

As the referee's arm fell, Wakatsuki jumped up, raised her iron fist high, and slammed it hard at "Flavor".

Section 215, Chapter 213: The Tiger's Heavy Blow

Such a heavy blow right from the start? Although Kanon had anticipated the kind of offensive Wakatsuki would take, she had not expected such a direct and bold attack. Was Wakatsuki's samurai personality really this brave?

Fortunately, the attack was a bit clumsy and not enough to threaten Hanon. She lightly leaped backward and dodged Wakatsuki's fierce smash.

With a loud "boom," dust and sand flew everywhere, and a large crater was smashed into the spot where Hana had just stood!

As she retreated, Hanon felt a strong gust of wind brush against her face and was utterly shocked: "Hey, is this really a low-level martial arts world? Even war trampling isn't this bad!"

A tall figure suddenly burst out from the dust, his fist, as big as a sandbag, came flying with a gust of wind. The Wakatsuki samurai was known as the "Tiger," and his attack was indeed like a tiger descending the mountain, fierce and incomparable!

A super, super, super heavy straight punch!

"Eek—" Hanon cried out softly, hurriedly raising her hands to protect her head and face—"Bang!" Hanon was sent flying, like a broken toy thrown far away by an angry child, hitting the ground and bouncing back up.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Katahara Sayaka exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table. Her shock definitely represented that of the majority of viewers. No one expected Wakatsuki's fast attack to be so fierce. Even a real karate master couldn't do that kind of fast punch!

"Oh, Flavor's in real trouble now!" Commentator Jerry Tyson was also shocked: "He took a solid hit from that Wakatsuki samurai's punch. Although Flavor made some effective defensive moves, the effect was probably very limited. Hopefully, he wasn't killed by that punch..."

Was Kanon dead? Of course not! She wasn't even hurt... Well, she did suffer some scrapes from falling to the ground and bouncing back up.

But in front of everyone, "Flavor Sander" stood up as if nothing had happened, dusted himself off, and seemed completely unaffected... Please, that was a full-force punch from the superhuman Wakatsuki Samurai! And it hit him directly!

"OMG, Unbelievable, Unbelievable!" Jerry Tyson's eyes almost popped out. His reaction represented that of the audience. The entire audience went from gasping at Wakatsuki's bravery to gasping at Vladimir's resilience. In just a second or two, their emotions went up and down like they were on a rollercoaster. The ups and downs were so exciting!

In the entrance passage, Suoh Miho had been so frightened that tears were streaming down her face. But when she saw that Hanon was alright, she quickly wiped away her tears and put on a smiling face. However, judging from her tightly clenched hands, Miho was still extremely nervous.

In the rest room of Motorbike Head, after witnessing Kanon's performance, Kirito Takakaze had become quite reassured about his niece. However, when he suddenly saw her being blasted away by Wakatsuki, he was so startled that he jumped up abruptly, knocking over bottles and glasses on the table, making quite a mess. Although Kanon quickly got up afterward, Kirito, unable to catch his breath, began to hiccup incessantly...

In the arena, Samurai Wakatsuki took another deep breath, silently pondering the attack he had just received: "That feeling was unmistakable; it definitely struck a human body, yet Flavor was completely unharmed. If it wasn't magic, it must be some extraordinary technique."

Although Wakatsuki possesses unparalleled physical abilities, he is by no means a reckless warrior. This can be seen from his battle with Julius. He is a meticulous and cunning all-rounder. Since he had doubts about "Flavor's" defensive techniques, he no longer fought with fierce and advanced techniques. Instead, he used rapid jabs to constantly probe and try to figure out "Flavor's" strengths and weaknesses.

However, this actually reduced the threat level of Wakatsuki's attacks, as Kanon dodged them one by one.

Actually, the recovery technique that Kanon just used is the ultimate enhanced version of "Indestructible Vajra". It was newly developed by her during the special training in the forest before the final match. It adds a layer of cushioning muscles under the tightly contracted muscles, just like a spring mattress, which can greatly reduce the impact force... Yes, this move is very ridiculous, but who can blame Kanon for having a cheat code!

Moreover, through this defensive action, Kanon planted the impression in Wakatsuki's mind that "Vlavo's defense is strange," forcing the cautious Wakatsuki to change her tactics, which was an unexpected surprise.

"Oh wow, normal defense actually had an unexpected effect~" Kanon was very happy: "If Wakatsuki kept attacking with heavy punches, I would have a hard time dealing with it! But now that he is testing me with low-intensity, high-frequency attacks, why can't I observe him?"

Kanon quickly noticed Wakatsuki's problem—his basic stance was the "right stance" from karate, which is a posture with the right fist and right leg forward, facing the enemy from one side.
