A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

"Boom..." In an instant, time seemed to stand still, and a loud bang echoed throughout the entire arena.

Amidst everyone's surprise, admiration, emotion, shock, and fear, Kanon stood firmly in place, still maintaining her kicking posture.

The one who flew out was the Wakatsuki samurai.

Moreover, Wakatsuki was not simply sent flying; his massive and powerful body left a bloody rut on the ground, his consciousness was almost completely gone, and blood was flowing from his face and orifices. Clearly, he had suffered an unprecedented blow, possibly the strongest blow he had ever received in his life.

"Phew—" Hana let out a long breath; all of this was within her expectations.

Yes, Wakatsuki can act and set traps, so why can't Kanon? You know, Kanon's fighting style is calm and doesn't get carried away. Even if she's impulsive at times, she wouldn't insist on a quick victory when she has a huge advantage, or even go against her conscience and use a killing move against Wakatsuki.

Therefore, Kanon's anger and impulsiveness, her loss of control, and her ruthless attack were all performances designed to induce Wakatsuki to unleash her full power. Kanon genuinely didn't want a prolonged fight, nor did she want to continue "torturing" Wakatsuki. Unfortunately, her heavy blows had limited effect on Wakatsuki, so she could only... add Wakatsuki's own strength!

The previous "Demon's Strike" failed because Wakatsuki's punches were too fast for Kanon, whose skill level was still lacking. Now, Kanon, through extensive sparring, had figured out Wakatsuki's attack range and deliberately chose a more distant position, forcing Wakatsuki's powerful punch to travel a few inches further and take a little longer. Ultimately, it was this extra time that made it possible to completely redirect Wakatsuki's punch.

With the full power returning, Wakatsuki was hit by the heavy punch that she had pinned her hopes for a comeback, plus Kanon's kick. With such a heavy blow, how could the already exhausted Wakatsuki withstand it?

With such a heavy blow, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

"it's over?"

Just as Hanon was about to stop celebrating, Wakatsuki in front of her suddenly sat up straight!

"WTF, you can still fight?" Kanon was genuinely shocked, so much so that she swore. Wakatsuki...

Alas, Wakatsuki Samurai can no longer fight.

He struggled to get up several times but failed each time. Blood kept dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were unfocused... Anyone could see that the match was over.

Wakatsuki's employer, Furukai Heihachi, clenched his fists, struggling internally: "Please, Wakatsuki, don't insist anymore!"

Wakatsuki finally stood up, dragging her injured body and broken ankle, and slowly moved to Kanon's side.

Hanon hesitated, not wanting to speak. She wasn't a martial arts seeker who would sacrifice herself for the path of martial arts, but as a man at heart, she understood Wakatsuki's willpower to fight to the death all too well. Even if she asked, she would only get a negative answer.

"Is that enough?" "I'm still standing here, aren't I?"

There was no point in saying more. Kanon knew that Wakatsuki would not admit defeat, so she directly unleashed her final attack. This time, there was no superhuman defense, no scheming or traps, just a simple, powerful strike to end the match.

The outcome is decided!

Author's Note: This battle with Wakatsuki is a bit longer than I expected, which is quite in line with Wakatsuki's reputation; she is indeed very strong.

Section 221, Chapter 219: The Final Match with an Encore?

"……Um?"

In the arena's infirmary, Samurai Wakatsuki awoke.

After the fierce battle, the legendary fighter was covered in wounds, but they had all been properly treated and were not serious. However, it was the emotional trauma that saddened Wakatsuki more than the physical pain.

"I lost." Wakatsuki let out a long sigh. Scenes from his battle with "Flavor" flashed through his mind. His opponent's strength, speed, and technique were all top-notch. What was even more remarkable was her composure, resourcefulness, and observation skills during the battle, which were exceptional. Combined with her physical attributes, she was a flawless ultimate fighter. At least, in his post-battle review, Wakatsuki realized that although he seemed to be evenly matched with "Flavor," he actually had no chance of winning.

"Sigh, another try probably won't work either." Wakatsuki sighed, "To defeat Flavo, trickery won't work. I can only continue training and seek further breakthroughs in martial arts... Right now, I really have no way to deal with him."

Standing next to Wakatsuki was President Heihachi Fukai of Fukai Pharmaceuticals. This always amiable uncle reached out and patted Wakatsuki's shoulder: "It's okay, Wakatsuki, I'm glad you're alright. I was really worried when Flavo pierced your neck!"

“Hmm…” Wakatsuki nodded. He and Koukai Heihachi had been friends for decades. Heihachi had watched him grow up since he was a child, and their bond was extremely deep. Kengan Kai Corporation recruits fighters based on money or feelings. Don’t be fooled by Koukai Pharmaceutical’s high ranking. The fact that they were able to invite Wakatsuki to fight was actually a matter of playing the emotional card.

"Uncle... I really want to help you become the president of the Kengan Association!"

"Relax, you've already tried your best!" President Fukai comforted him. "I guess my personality isn't suited to be a leader. Even if you win in the end, I'll still nominate President Nogi to lead the Kengan Association. This time, President Nogi can only rely on himself, hahaha."

The two exchanged some heartfelt words. Although Wakatsuki Samurai's confidence had been shaken by "Flavor," he was, after all, a strong-willed and battle-hardened warrior. He did not experience too much negative emotion and quickly put aside the grief of defeat, starting to focus on the upcoming matches.

That will be the final match of the quarterfinals, a battle between Kanagawa, the Fang of Destroyer, and Izumi, the "Floating Cloud".

"Huh?" Wakatsuki was suddenly stunned, because he saw a very familiar figure step onto the ring—Flavor Sander?!

"What...what was he doing up there?"

Yes, it was still a break between matches. Kanon, who had just finished her battle, didn't even have time to sit down and rest before returning to the arena.

Does the elimination round include an encore thank-you segment?

Of course not... Just as the audience began to express their surprise, another person stepped forward—Hatsumi Izumi.

Upon their first meeting, he was still as unserious as ever, casually greeting Hanon: "Oh, sorry, Flavo, did I interrupt your chat with your sweetheart?"

"...It's alright." Hanon's attitude was rather indifferent.

Having just defeated the formidable Wakatsuki samurai, Kanon naturally needed to rest. However, before she and Miho could exchange more than a few words, Izumi arrived at the entrance. This lazy fellow's sudden enthusiasm startled Kanon, and what was even more surprising was that Izumi actually asked Kanon to warm up with him, which was utterly baffling.

In the end, Kanon agreed to Hajime's request, for no other reason than what Hajime had said—

"I originally wanted to find Tokita, who is also a Nogi-style fighter, but he and President Yamashita have suddenly disappeared. I have no choice but to ask you for help~"

Well, the reason for Tokita Ohma and Yamashita Kazuo's "disappearance" is unknown to others, but Kanon knows it all too well, after all, it was her doing... I wonder if Tokita Ohma has woken up yet. With Yamashita Kazuo's frail little body, it's impossible for him to carry Ohma back to the arena.

Feeling a little guilty, Kanon agreed to meet Hatsumi and returned to the arena she hadn't left for long. However, she was still a bit angry and bitter: "Damn it, Tokita Ohma, I fought a series of tough battles to save your life and then had to be someone's sparring partner for free. You should thank me properly!"

Thus, the audience of the final match witnessed a very peculiar scene: one fighter was helping another fighter warm up!

This is almost unprecedented. Even though there have been many times in the past when the fighters who participated in the competition were friends or fellow students, everyone was focused on winning and had no time to care about others. Besides, no matter how good the relationship was, it would involve the company. "Flavor" agreed to help Hatsumi, and President Suoh just agreed to it like that?

In an instant, the possibility of a secret deal between Suoh Seigetsu and the Nogi Group spread rapidly in the minds of conspiracy theorists.

Ahem, it's not that complicated. Miho is just a little confused. This girl hasn't really gotten into the serious atmosphere of the elimination tournament yet!

Similarly, Kanon's mind was also in turmoil at this moment, and she seemed somewhat perfunctory compared to when they first met and warmed up, her mind preoccupied with other things: "Right, just now I clearly felt that Mieko was about to pounce on me and kiss me..."

At first glance, he wasn't picky. He and Kanon exchanged moves simply, and he would occasionally tell Kanon how to move: "OK, let's do it again. This time, attack from the other side... Ah, that's right, that's right. I'm in good shape~ Let's try to speed it up a bit!"

Hanon naturally complied with everything, but inwardly she thought with disdain: "Ugh, if he wants to warm up, why doesn't he just do it himself? This guy really knows how to cause trouble. I still really want to beat him up..."

But gradually, Kanon realized that something was wrong, and the audience and other fighters also noticed the problem—Kanon's attacks were getting faster, but she could no longer reach Hatsumi!

Even after Hanon unleashed her full power and regained her normal attack speed, she still couldn't hit Hatsumi! This was definitely not Hanon's intention; in her desperation, she had used her full strength!

"Ah, I've passed through!" On the high platform, Kaneda Suekichi was stunned. As a master at predicting his opponent's movements, he vaguely sensed what Izumi was doing. It was an extremely high level of martial arts – he was dodging his opponent's attack with minimal movement.

"That's amazing..." Jin Tian exclaimed sincerely, "At first glance, his evasion range was getting smaller and smaller, but in the end, his evasion ability had risen to the point where it was as if he was standing still!"

Chu Jian was indeed very impressive, but Kanon on the other side was also getting serious. Just as she was about to use a faster speed and a more advanced technique, Chu Jian waved her hand and said, "That's enough, thank you~"

Hana was jolted awake and quickly withdrew her fist, feeling quite uncomfortable: "Hey, you..."

Hmph, I really want to beat up Chu Jian!

At first glance, she didn't notice Kanon's resentment, instead waving her hand and saying, "Thanks to you, I'm staying in top condition~"

"Hmm..." Now that things have come to this, Hanon had nothing more to say. She nodded to Chujian and then turned and walked back into the passage.

"Good luck, uncle. Be careful not to get beaten too badly and risk your life."

Author's Note: At first glance, his actions were as fierce as a tiger's...

Section 222, Chapter 220: The King's Game

Hearing Hanon's final blessing, Hatsune was a little confused: "Eh? Shouldn't you be wishing me victory?"

Emmm, Izumi is indeed a top-notch fighter, but his opponent is none other than Kanao, the Fang of Destroyer!

Hua Yin pointed behind Chu Jian: "Uncle, you'd better pray for yourself. In my opinion, there's no hope. You're doomed to lose. Goodbye."

After saying the three consecutive words, Hanon walked into the passage and disappeared. Chu Jian didn't have time to pursue Hanon's teasing, because following Hanon's instructions, he also felt the enormous pressure coming from behind him.

Ghana has entered the game.

This guy had also been missing for a while, and when he reappeared, his demeanor was different from his previous two fights: In the first fight, facing Naoya Okubo, Ghana was very calm at the start, neither overly nervous nor overly arrogant. But in the second fight against the champion Gaolang, Ghana was domineering to the point of madness from the very beginning, displaying a kind of frenzy.

Now, facing the first spring, Kanagawa appears cold and serious, like an iceberg, exuding an imposing aura.

When a top-level expert adopts such a stance, no one can afford to underestimate him. Without needing further explanation, the entire arena immediately fell silent, with everyone holding their breath and focusing their attention on the battle.

"Hahaha, so the active 'Fang' has held the throne." In the VIP room, the old chairman, Katahara Metsudou, was very satisfied with Kano Aki's appearance. Beside him was no longer Wu Huili, but Nogi Hideki, the president of the Nogi Group. As the initiator of the deadly elimination tournament and the one accepting the challenge, the two ultimate bosses finally met and began their head-on confrontation.

The two had already exchanged a few words, and now President Nogi picked up on a new piece of information: "You mean... you don't know who will be appearing either?"

"Hahaha, don't overthink it, Nogi. I always knew who would be on stage~ But even if there were any surprises, it wouldn't be a bad thing, since it's still my victory anyway, hahaha..."

President Nogi frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

"He said the current Ya has secured his position. Could it be that the opponent who just competed with Ghana for a spot in the competition was...?"

In the entrance tunnel on Ghana's side, the other two members of the "Three Crows," the strongest fighting force of the film source family, stood side by side, watching Ghana Aya enter the battle.

Wang Senzhengdao, covered in wounds and with bloodied lips, lit a cigar: "Phew... This guy is really tough, but after fighting me, Ghana has become even stronger."

That's right, Gana's "disappearance" was due to his fight with Wang Sen, who was the previous fighter of the Kagen family and the fourth generation of the Fang of Destroyer! He challenged Gana before the match, and the two clashed over the spot. In the end, Gana broke through Wang Sen's defense and kept his position. At the same time, he also gained a lot from Wang Sen's deliberate guidance and became stronger.

At this moment, the referee signaled the contestants to prepare. Ghana and Chujian stood face to face, and the difference in their physiques was obvious.

"The height difference is about 20 centimeters, and the weight difference is as high as 40 kilograms... The difference in physical ability is huge. Uncle, how will you deal with this?" After leaving the arena, Hanon did not go far. Since there was no one else in the entrance passage, Hanon and Miho sat on the ground and watched the match up close. After all, Hanon would be facing the winner of the match between Hatsumi and Gana in the next round, so she wanted to observe as much as possible.

In fact, this battle had already attracted everyone's attention. Gana's status goes without saying. Although Hatsumi's record was mediocre, he had a good reputation among those in the know, and his strength was genuinely formidable. In particular, his employer, President Nogi, took the initiative to launch a desperate elimination tournament, which must have given him full confidence. So how will this "floating cloud" perform?

Everyone is paying close attention, everyone is curious, and everyone has their own judgment, but a competition is something that has no result until it is actually played.
