"This posture... Could it be that Wakatsuki has a problem with his right eye? Right, during the battle with Julius, Wakatsuki's right cheek was dragged along the wall, causing great injury. Perhaps his right eye vision was also affected. This right-handed stance, with the left eye behind, can help to widen his field of vision."

Thinking of this, Hanon couldn't help but thank Kuroki Gensai again for his guidance. Kuroki pointed out in his first lesson that human physiology is crucial for martial artists, and Hanon had to study it intensively for quite a while!

Kanon discovered Wakatsuki's weakness and began to attack it. She relentlessly attacked Wakatsuki's blind spots, bombarding him with her finger razor and Rakshasa palm, gradually leaving wounds on Wakatsuki's strong body!

However, Kanon was also somewhat helpless, because Wakatsuki Samurai adopted a cautious attack stance, which led to his defense being strengthened accordingly. Kanon had to spend a lot of energy to achieve an effective attack, and the effect of those "effective attacks" was actually not very optimistic - Wakatsuki Samurai's muscles were really too hard!

Kanon had never seen anyone with such taut muscles! Well, maybe Kanon herself was an exception; her indestructible body was stronger than Wakatsuki's, but that required Kanon to actively contract her muscles, which was quite energy-consuming. In terms of convenience, it was far inferior to Wakatsuki's innate superhuman physique. His muscle density was 52 times that of an ordinary person, so ordinary heavy punches and kicks couldn't really hurt him. Even the Razor Fingers and Rakshasa Palm techniques had limited damage. With such talent, he could earn several times more than others even as a punching bag, let alone Wakatsuki, who was a fighter with superb martial arts skills!

Therefore, Kanon could only wage a war of attrition little by little, trying to leave bleeding wounds on Wakatsuki while trying to avoid being hit by Wakatsuki's attacks—this heavy punch was no joke, and it would be difficult for Kanon's ordinary "Indestructible" or even ordinary "Diamond Indestructible" to completely defend against it. If she was not careful, she would be in big trouble.

This battle is really tough... Kanon thought to herself, but her attacks didn't stop. Little by little, she gradually overwhelmed the Wakatsuki samurai.

Finally, Wakatsuki seemed to lose his patience first. He charged forward, abandoning his cautious jab tactics, and threw a heavy punch at Kanon's chest!

The punch was extremely fast and powerful, but Hana was not flustered. In fact, she had been impatient for a long time and had been waiting for this moment!

At this moment, both sides changed tactics, and the situation changed dramatically!

Section 216, Chapter 214: It's Time to Show the Real Skill

Facing Wakatsuki's straight punch, Hanon rushed forward, simultaneously spinning her Rakshasa Palm to its limit, unleashing the fiercest and strongest attack towards Wakatsuki's heart—"Your muscles are superhuman, but your internal organs can't be as hard as steel, can they?"

Wakatsuki's internal organs are indeed human, and his muscles are still flesh and blood, unable to withstand swords and bullets. While Kanon's finger razor has limited effect, it can still injure him. So, if this attack lands squarely, severely damaging his heart, Wakatsuki might truly be instantly killed by Kanon... but this is a situation Wakatsuki is determined not to allow!

Just as Kanon dodged Wakatsuki's straight punch and rushed into Waka's arms, and her attack seemed about to succeed, Wakatsuki changed her tactics.

His straight punch was just a feint. When he saw Hana rushing towards him, he stopped and instead used his other hand to grab her back while leaning back, creating a combo that pulled Hana to the ground.

It's a combination technique! Wakatsuki can even do combination techniques?!

The entire stadium erupted in cheers, with Jerry Tyson in the commentary booth yelling, "OMG, OMG, I feel like this match has used up all the surprises I've ever had in my life!" Well, Americans tend to exaggerate, but at least it shows that Wakatsuki Samurai's use of combination techniques is indeed a very impressive thing.

Furuhachi Furuhachi, the president of Furuhachi Pharmaceuticals, was also watching the match from the entrance. Seeing Wakatsuki use her combination technique, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "You used 'Exploding Core' against Julius, and then you used another trump card you reserved for Metsudou no Kiba in your fight against Flavor. Wakatsuki, you must be very frustrated! Flavor Sander, is she a formidable opponent that you can't hold back against..."

Long ago, Wakatsuki, who suffered her first defeat after being defeated by the Fang of Metsudo, asked her master, Kenji Sei, the head of the Rokujin Karate Dojo, for advice on how to avenge herself against the Fang of Metsudo. The experienced martial arts master's advice was: "You need to master at least two hidden special moves!"

The specific explanation is that Kano is an extremely powerful fighter who can adapt his tactics to his opponent's fighting style. Wakatsuki's original full-contact karate technique has already been seen through by him, so he must keep a few trump cards up his sleeve and use them unexpectedly during the duel to defeat or weaken Kano in order to have a chance of winning.

Following the elder's advice, Wakatsuki did indeed prepare two trump cards: one was the Core Explosion Technique, and the other was the Combo Technique.

"Combination techniques" is a broad term encompassing various techniques such as ground techniques, joint locks, chokes, and other similar moves. The content is vast and complex, and talent plays a limited role; the amount of practice is the key to determining the strength of a combination technique. Wakatsuki, starting to practice combination techniques at the "advanced age" of over thirty, was rather late. Fortunately, his burning desire for revenge against Kiba drove him to relentless training, and over the years he made considerable progress, reaching the level of a typical first-rate fighter. More importantly, combined with his unparalleled strength, the power of his combination techniques was amplified epic-level. Once caught off guard and falling into their trap, he could choke anyone to death!

Unfortunately, Kanon is now under Wakatsuki's control with her combo attacks.

"Ahhhhh..." Suddenly falling to the ground and being tightly embraced by Wakatsuki's limbs, Kanon immediately felt difficulty breathing. Her bones cracked and popped as if they were about to shatter. Wakatsuki's strength was too great, and she was much larger than Kanon. After burying Kanon in her arms, Kanon was almost completely unable to move!

"A major crisis for Flavo!" The fighters in the high stands gave their verdict, it seemed that Guan Linchun's prediction was about to come true.

In a corner far from the main force, the mercenary Mutba, who had just easily conceded defeat to Kuroki and was basically unharmed, did not leave the arena. Instead, he leisurely enjoyed the match by himself: "Hehe, Flavo is at a disadvantage because of his size. If it were me, I would also feel uncomfortable being locked up by that tiger, but at least I could use pressure point attacks to break his joints and escape from the restraints."

Being too short, with short arms and legs, Kanon could only be squeezed and stared at; she couldn't even pat Wakatsuki's body to admit defeat!

"Can Flavo hold on?" This is where referee Anna Paula has to step in. She has to determine whether Flavo can continue the fight. If not, she has to TKO Kanon, which means the referee has lost.

Then Anna saw that Flavor, who was almost entirely buried in Wakatsuki's arms, had his hand, the only part of his body exposed, slowly extend his index finger and shake it.

"Oh, Flavor still wants to persist!" Anna understood and abandoned the idea of ​​announcing the end of the match, but she was still puzzled: "What other way does Flavor have to escape? Is he determined to die?"

Anna's questions didn't last long; she was soon shocked to see that Wakatsuki had released Flavo on her own initiative!

No, Wakatsuki didn't want to let go of his opponent who had fallen into the trap; he had no choice but to let go!

"How did you do that?" Wakatsuki felt excruciating pain in many acupoints on his body, and even his arms were trembling with pain. Just now, he had "Flavor" completely under his control, and his opponent could not move his limbs at all, yet he was able to attack many of his acupoints at the same time. It was truly unbelievable.

"Huff, huff... Secret~" Hanon was also panting heavily. In fact, she had forcibly manipulated some muscles in her body at the critical moment to launch a tiny "explosion" on Wakatsuki's pressure points, thus escaping death. She had just used a lot of energy to get rid of Wakatsuki's grip, and being locked for more than ten seconds made her feel like her bones were crumbling. There might even be small cracks in her ribs. This time, she was caught off guard and fell into Wakatsuki's combination technique trap. The price Hanon paid was heavy.

"The worst thing about fighting this guy is that his monstrous strength is too much of a threat, and the margin for error is much lower than when fighting other people!" Hanon complained inwardly, feeling terrible.

Wakatsuki, on the other hand, had already composed herself emotionally and physically, and was once again fully prepared to launch an attack.

When Kanon sparred with Wakatsuki again, her previous advantage was almost wiped out. Because Wakatsuki revealed his hidden combo technique, Kanon had to not only avoid being hit by his heavy punches, but also distract herself from being grabbed by Wakatsuki, which further reduced her already low attack efficiency.

Surprisingly, Kanon gradually calmed down and regained her composure under these circumstances.

"This is the first time I've encountered someone whose physical abilities are so much stronger than mine. This is really troublesome! But it's only worthwhile to defeat someone like this. Huff—" Hanon began to adjust her breathing while parrying the attacks: "I wonder if I can go toe-to-toe with Wakatsuki in Valkyrie mode? Probably not enough, the weight difference is too big! It seems I should focus on improving my technique... Well, isn't the essence of martial arts something that the weak come up with to defeat the strong?"

Hanon clenched her fist: "It's time to show your true skills."

Section 217, Chapter 215: Incomplete Dissipation

After deciding to use "technology," Kanon began to wait—facing the Wakatsuki samurai's frenzied attacks, she dodged and waited for her opportunity.

Wakatsuki's attacks were lukewarm, as if he preferred to use combination techniques to defeat his opponents rather than the rigid punches and kicks of karate. His movements were mostly grabbing stances. Even though "Flavor" was very agile and could always dodge, Wakatsuki still enjoyed it and kept trying to grab his opponents.

Perhaps Wakatsuki tasted the sweetness of success from that successful group trap?

"Hmph, if I hadn't guessed what you were thinking, I would probably have thought you recognized me and were trying to take advantage of me!" Hanon secretly found it amusing. Now everyone was treating "Flavor" as a man, so Wakatsuki's actions seemed like a normal grab. But if people knew that "Flavor" was actually Hanon, then Wakatsuki's tiger-like pursuit and embrace of the girl was simply that of a ferocious wolf!

Of course, Takeshi Wakatsuki is not that kind of person. This veteran strongman of the Kengan Association has a simple and strong personality and is a real "big brother" type of person. He is definitely not a hypocrite who is all talk and no action... Well, this true gentleman is indeed acting right now.

Flavo's speed is astonishing, and Wakatsuki's skill level is far from sufficient to capture it. Even if she did manage to catch it, given the mysterious techniques Flavo has just displayed, it's hard to guarantee that it won't break free. Rather than struggling to capture it, striking techniques are more in line with Wakatsuki's habits and needs.

Kanon saw this, so she waited, waiting for the Wakatsuki samurai to lose his temper and reveal the tiger's true fangs—either a heavy punch or a heavy kick, but it would definitely be an ultimate and powerful strike. And at that moment, it would be the time for Kanon's "technique" to come into play.

Every time Wakatsuki throws a punch, Kanon's focus is on his other hand, which is clearly the real target, as it could unleash a powerful attack at any moment.

By accident, Kanon was grazed by Wakatsuki's ordinary heavy punch, and her balance immediately became unstable. Wakatsuki's strength was too great, and Kanon's weight was too light. It was like a motorcycle facing a strong wind. No matter how powerful the horsepower or how fast it could go, it could not escape being blown away. Although Kanon made an effective defense, she still could not avoid losing her balance.

In that instant, Wakatsuki and Kanon finally got the opportunity they had been waiting for!

"It's time!" ×2

Wakatsuki's powerful punch is coming!

Kanon also worked hard to stabilize her center of gravity, preparing to meet this attack.

"Boom!" ×2

Two loud bangs were heard in a short time, both sounds of fists hitting flesh. Hanon and Wakatsuki both took two or three steps back and then squatted down at the same time.

"Wow—" Someone vomited blood!

That's the Wakatsuki samurai.

"W-What happened?" Wakatsuki was shocked. He had just felt the sensation of a fist hitting flesh again. That punch had landed solidly! But how could "Flavor" still be able to counterattack, and even severely injure him with even stronger punches?

"Flavor...how did he do that?"

Compared to Wakatsuki, Kanon was in much better condition; at least she didn't vomit blood, but squatted down to relieve the intense dizziness and discomfort in her internal organs.

"Using this move in haste, it was indeed incomplete..." Hana sighed softly.

This move was inspired by her struggle with the Guardian Squad Leader, Aioi, after the first day of the decisive match. It utilizes the rhythm of muscles to transfer power to the limbs and launch an attack, its principle being very similar to Tokita Ohma's signature technique, "Oni Slash." However, compared to Ohma, Kanon's proficiency with this move is far inferior. It had been remarkably effective in suppressing Aioi, who was significantly weaker in terms of raw strength, or in dealing with the crazed Julius. But now, using it against the Wakatsuki samurai is proving somewhat inadequate.

Wakatsuki was not only incredibly strong, but also remarkably fast. Kanon, already unsteady on her feet and needing to exert effort to regain her balance, was then struck by a powerful punch, leaving her no time to fully dissipate the force. As a result, some of the power was redirected in the wrong direction—to her neck and internal organs! Fortunately, this force was not significant, otherwise Kanon might have knocked herself unconscious.

"What a pity, what a pity." Hanon said helplessly, "It was a well-planned move, but because I wasn't skilled enough, I didn't deal the full damage. I won't have such a good opportunity again... Speaking of which, Wakatsuki is really a super strong guy. If his punch speed were a little slower, I could have perfectly returned the power."

Despite the helplessness and regret, the battle had to continue. Kanon composed herself and stood up again.

In contrast, Wakatsuki was in a much worse state. Kanon had just returned most of his power, landing a heavy punch on Wakatsuki's chest that made his internal organs churn and he coughed up blood. The superhuman physical attributes that granted Wakatsuki such immense offensive power had, in turn, broken through the equally powerful defenses derived from his physique—a truly ironic situation.

However, this was not enough to defeat the Wakatsuki samurai!

Over three hundred matches in the Kengan Tournament honed Wakatsuki's extremely resilient character, while his unwavering desire for revenge against Kanao, the Demon of Destruction, drove him to rise again. He took a deep breath and assumed a right-handed stance once more—did this mean he would still decide the outcome with striking techniques?

Hanon stretched her limbs and exclaimed to Wakatsuki, "Amazing!"

"You know that much." Wakatsuki snorted coldly. "If you want to admit defeat, then do it now."

"Oh ho, I didn't expect you to be able to tell lame jokes." Hanon responded with a cold laugh: "I'm right here. If you think you can beat me, then come and fight!"

And so Wakatsuki moved.

The probing of "Flavor" has ended, and the result cannot be described as successful. Although "Flavor" has repeatedly revealed its trump cards, it is still unknown how many more killer moves it has hidden. For example, the state in which the Wu clan seemed to be "liberated" at the end of the battle with Wu Lei'an has not been used by "Flavor" since then. A rash attack seems like it might fall into a trap...

But Wakatsuki had no other choice. He didn't know how many more cards Flavor had up its sleeve, but he knew he had no more tricks up his sleeve!

Whether it's group techniques, explosive core techniques, or full-contact karate, Wakatsuki has used up all the skills he has accumulated over the years, but he still can't defeat his opponent. Flavor Sand is undoubtedly a formidable opponent that Wakatsuki has never encountered before. Having fought to this point, Wakatsuki has only one choice - stop worrying about others and use his best methods to fight against the strong enemy!

"Ugh, this is a real headache!" Kanon groaned inwardly. Actually, dodging Wakatsuki's combo attacks was relatively easy, but her striking techniques were much more difficult. Kanon's version of "Oni Awakening" was mastered too late and was far from perfect, making it difficult to apply to every defense. So, she usually had to rely on dodging and blocking to counter Wakatsuki's attacks. And as everyone knows, Wakatsuki's striking techniques are no joke; they are a test for anyone.

Wakatsuki's attacks were relentless, and Kanon, who was clearly less injured, found herself at a disadvantage for a time.

Author's Note: Ahem, just a heads-up, this game isn't finished yet... so those who are interested can wait until tomorrow... I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to add extra chapters, especially these past two days. I can't even clean my room until midnight... Waaah, I'm so sleepy.

Section 218, Chapter 216: Kanon's Desperate Situation?

Kanon found it tricky, not only because Wakatsuki was giving full play to her striking skills, but also because Wakatsuki had changed her striking techniques to a new fighting style.

Through his initial probing, Wakatsuki had actually figured out a few things. He didn't know how many more tricks Flavor had up her sleeve, but based on her current behavior, it was impossible to instantly kill her with a single, overwhelming attack. The result was either Flavor neutralizing his power or he would suffer a devastating counterattack. Furthermore, the effort required to raise his hand for a grab often delayed him, leading Wakatsuki to discover that as long as he maintained a slight distance, Flavor always found a way to counter his attacks!

If that's the case, why not engage in close-quarters combat?

As a result, Wakatsuki basically gave up the techniques she had mastered. Whether it was karate or group techniques, both of them required distance and time to execute and execute, which would give "Flavor" the opportunity to take advantage of speed, thus making Wakatsuki, who had the advantage of strength, feel restricted.

Your punch was blocked? Then attack again with your other hand and kicks! If you can grab "Flavor" with one hand, then grab it. No matter how much damage "Flavor" does to you along the way, this attack will force it to change its move and retreat. Otherwise, if Wakatsuki grabs it, it will be a heavy punch!

Wakatsuki adopted this fighting logic, but more often than not, his attacks were completely illogical, consisting of relentless close-range attacks without ever moving away. In short, it was the kind of martial art that teenagers all over the world were very familiar with: wild, unpredictable punches...

The audience in the stands were stunned. To most viewers, Wakatsuki's every move was explosive. Although the close-quarters combat moves were unpredictable, ordinary people couldn't discern any particular pattern. They only knew that Wakatsuki's punches were like thunder and lightning, gradually suppressing Flavo.

As for the other fighters, they also believed that Wakatsuki had the advantage, but behind this suppression lay Wakatsuki's deep helplessness.

"Was she really forced to this point?" As Wakatsuki's old friend, Kanrin Jun still firmly believed that Wakatsuki would win, but he also understood that if she had a choice, Wakatsuki would never have resorted to such a tactic.
