Hanon shook her head with a wry smile: "I noticed it too. I thought I could defeat Hatsumi relatively easily, but I didn't expect Gana to do better than me. I'm sure I'll have a tough fight in the next battle."

"No, no, no, there's no going back!" Someone suddenly interrupted. Needless to say, at this moment, besides Kanon and Kuroki, the only other person in the Motorbike Head rest room was the ultimate form of the parent-child enthusiast, Hawk-Kaze Kiriki.

Kirito never supported Kanon's participation in the final match. Kanon's performance and Kuroki's affirmation had always been his motivation. Now that Kanon was doubting herself and Kuroki had asserted that she was no match for Kanon, Kirito could no longer sit still and quickly stood up to stop her.

"Kane, don't play in the next match. You should all forfeit."

"Oh dear, Uncle, really! It's come to this, how could I possibly give up and not fight?"

"Pah!" Kirito snapped, "What's going on? Is the battle more important or your life? Didn't you see the terrible state of Okubo, Gaolang, and Izumi?"

Faced with her exasperated uncle, Kanon fully displayed the temperament of a rebellious teenage girl and retorted sharply: "Hey, what are they? Look at Kiryu Setsuna, Mikazuki Zero, Go Raian, and Wakatsuki Samurai, weren't they all carried off the field? Their injuries were much more serious than those of Gana's opponents!"

She was so angry at being contradicted that she couldn't speak. The key point was that Kanon's opponents were indeed all in a miserable state. What she said was true, and those people were all quite strong. Arguing based on the strength of the opponents was pointless.

Having gained the upper hand in the debate, Kanon got carried away and started counting her gains in the decisive match on her fingers: "It's not just them! From the preliminaries onwards, I've faced Yoshinari Hori, Mutaba, Kosuke Imai, Rito, Yohei Bando, Julius, and Ohma Tokita—and I've won against them all! Uh… okay, the Mutaba match was a bit of a letdown. That guy's cowardice was too sharp; he knew how to protect himself. You've experienced that, Master Kuroki~"

Kuroki remained expressionless, but his words completely shocked Kirito.

After a few seconds of silence, Qieji suddenly burst out: "Girl, when did you start fighting these people?"

"Oh my god, I let it slip!" Hana stuck out her tongue, looking quite cute, but this wasn't the time to act cute. She turned around and dashed out the door.

"Anyway, I will definitely play in the next match, Uncle, don't worry. Who says I can't beat Ghana?"

Author's note: Actually, most people who lose in a final showdown are carried off the stage. However, Kanon's attacks are powerful, including heavy punches, Rakshasa Palm, and Razor, making her incredibly damaging. Especially those I encountered in official matches, they were truly pitiful.

Section 227, Chapter 225: Thinking about the past

Before transmigrating, Kanon was already a mature... well, an ordinary person. After transmigrating, she became a young girl, and her behavior was far more mature and composed than she appeared. This time, her confrontation with Qieji was a rare act of rebellion by Kanon.

Of course, some things can't be done too often, and being contradicted by a junior is one of them. Behind Kanon, Takakaze Kirito's expression had completely fallen, looking almost exactly like the "gloomy cat" popular online...

Hanon didn't care! She was focused on escaping, and when she sped up, even Kuroki Gensai couldn't stop her, let alone Kirito, an old man who knew nothing about martial arts. In the blink of an eye, she had run a long way and was completely out of Kirito's sight.

"Ugh, Uncle is such a nag..." Huayin complained, but she was still very grateful to Qieji. His excitement was ultimately out of familial affection, only it conflicted with Huayin's pursuit.

"I promise I'll behave properly once this elimination tournament is over!" After apologizing to herself and making a vow in her heart, Kanon began to think about the practical problem—how to fight against Kana?

"I wanted to ask Master Kuroki for advice, but my uncle interrupted me, and I didn't get any useful information..." Thinking of this, Hanon immediately became dissatisfied with Kirito again, overturning her promise: "Hmph, damn uncle, I'd better not listen to you anymore and do more stupid things! Aww."

Ha, let's get down to business!

Kanon's Fang, Kano Awa, was a powerful opponent Kanon encountered on her very first day of formally participating in the Kengan tournament. He had a tremendous impact on Kanon at the time, remaining a formidable figure in her mind for a long time, representing the pinnacle of martial arts skill. Later, after receiving guidance from Kuroki Gensai and diligently training, Kanon gradually overcame her inner demons. If it were the Kano Awa who fought Nitoku, he would likely be far from being Kanon's match.

Objectively speaking, it's remarkable that Kanon, who has lived two lives without ever having been exposed to martial arts, has made such rapid progress in less than a year, surpassing the world's top athletes in terms of physical fitness, technique, and mentality, and reaching the level of the Kengan Association's top four. This speed of progress is unprecedented and unparalleled, enough to make her a legend... Unfortunately, she is still intimidated when facing Kanao.

This guy has incredibly strong physical attributes. His perfect muscle distribution once completely stunned Huayin, who had just learned to observe muscles at Mr. Silver's gym. In addition, Ghanaians are tall and strong, with extremely perfect weight, wingspan, and leg length. His physical strength is simply that of a perfect warrior created by God.

As for the technical aspects, Ghana has also demonstrated remarkable skill: throughout the tournament, he showcased top-notch techniques against Naoya Okubo, displayed striking skills comparable to those of a boxing champion in his fight against Gaolang Unsavardo, and even Kuroki described his recent match against Izumi Hatsumi as reaching "the highest level of martial arts." Even more terrifying is that this guy also possesses another ferocious and arrogant form, capable of switching his tactics based on his opponent's fighting style…

Ahem, it's not that Kanon isn't powerful, it's just that Kanon is like a Gundam!

"Ugh, this is really troublesome!" Hanon thought to herself, holding her head. This version of Gana is like a bucket without any weaknesses. Perhaps the only thing that can be used is the arrogant nature of his other personality, just like Hanon set up a physical trap when she "tortured" Wu Lei'an. But judging from the battle with Chu Jian, it seems that Gana has also sealed that second personality.

Just as Hanon was feeling down, someone behind her exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that... uh, Flavor?"

The voice sounded familiar. Hanon turned her head and saw that it was indeed the sumo wrestler Oni-zan-sen.

"Oh, it's you." Hana looked around, surprised, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gui Wangshan scratched his head: "The competition was so intense, and I rarely get a break, so of course I came out to use the restroom..."

This is a bit awkward. Kanon sighed and rubbed her forehead, something she hadn't done in a long time...

"Flavor, you're about to face off against that Fang of Destruction, good luck!" Ghost King Mountain encouraged.

Hanon didn't think much of it. She and Guiwangshan were indeed kindred spirits and had a good buddy-like relationship. Although this kind of encouragement was useless, Hanon still politely thanked him: "Well, I appreciate your kind words. I hope I can win... Gana is a tough nut to crack."

Ghost King Mountain laughed heartily: "Ha, that's right! Since his debut, Kana has fought 150 battles, big and small, without ever being defeated. He is known as the strongest Fang of the Destroyer Hall in history and the absolute king in the history of the Kengan Association. And from his previous battles, it can be seen that this person is not just a name; his skills are real! You will definitely be in a tough fight in the next match!"

"However," Ghost King Mountain changed the subject, patting Hana's shoulder again, "Hana, no, Flavo, you're much stronger than when we first met. Your previous battles were amazing. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you can rival the Fang of the Destroyer. As for me now, I probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds against you."

That was when Hanon first came into contact with martial arts. He was worried and sent someone to test him, but Hanon easily got rid of them. When Hanon carried the thug back to his martial arts school, he happened to run into Ghost King Mountain challenging the school. The two of them got into a fight in a confused way, which ended with Hanon having a slight advantage.

Recalling their first encounter, which started as a fight, the two grew even closer. Huayin punched Guiwangshan in the chest: "That's right. If I were to use my full strength now, you probably wouldn't last ten seconds!"

"I believe you." Gui Wangshan laughed. "My sumo wrestling does have many flaws. I've already talked to my brothers, and this time when I go back, I'll start from the basics again. I'll definitely be stronger next time we spar!"

"Yes, yes, it's good that you think that way." Hana was genuinely happy for Guiwangshan. This friend had a really good personality and was quite easy to get along with.

After exchanging a few more casual words, Gui Wangshan sized up Hua Yin's attire: "Speaking of which, your outfit is indeed very deceptive. Everyone thinks you are a mysterious foreigner with an eccentric personality. I'm afraid no one who doesn't know the truth would guess your real identity." He sighed, "I have always been a believer in gender equality. As long as they are strong, they can fight each other. That's why I challenged you in the first place. But most of the others in the Deathmatch don't think that way. If they find out your identity, they definitely won't be able to bring themselves to fight you."

"Is that so..." Hanon scratched her head: "I also had that in mind when I dressed as a man."

Hanon noticed something: all the conversations at Ghost King Mountain were referring to her as "Flavor": "Don't you know who I am? Why do you still call me Flavor?"

"This is because..." Gui Wangshan was about to answer when he heard the sound of water flushing from the men's restroom next door, and then someone came out.

The man was surprised to see Hana: "Isn't this Flavo? You're here to use the restroom too? Hahaha, good luck in the next game, kid!"

"Ah, umm..." Hana was extremely embarrassed. So there were other people in the restroom. No wonder Oni-Kouyama had to be mindful of his status.

"Thank you for the encouragement, Uncle Murobuchi..."

Author's note: It's quite a coincidence that Murobuchi and Oni-no-yama both ended up in the toilet, haha.

Yesterday, some friends said that Kanon was collecting CGs before the final battle, and I think that's a very apt description. It's been like this in the last few chapters, and Kanon will be in better shape to face the Great King of Fangs.

Section 228, Chapter 226: Looking at Today

That man was Murobuchi Gozo, the man who suffered a crushing defeat to Wakatsuki Takeshi in the first round. He was also the one who had dominated the New World Decathlon for many years, and was invincible at the Olympic Games. He was a national hero of Japan.

Kanon felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Um, Uncle Murobuchi, are you alright?"

Murobuchi blinked. For a man in his forties to make such an expression was, frankly, a bit... disgustingly seductive. But Murobuchi was actually a very nice person: "Hehe, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. Although Wakatsuki's attack was heavy, it wasn't enough to kill me."

Murobuchi Gozo and Wakatsuki Samurai have a deep bond, and since Wakatsuki was defeated by Kanon, Murobuchi naturally had to bring it up: "To be honest, I didn't expect that Wakatsuki would be defeated in front of you, and so badly! But I believe that such a setback will not discourage him. Wakatsuki Samurai is a remarkable man, and he will definitely return to the arena and challenge you again, just as I will train hard and continue to try to defeat Wakatsuki."

"Hehe, you're really energetic, uncle." Hanon wasn't familiar with Murobuchi, so she just gave him a casual reply.

“Of course.” Murobuchi didn’t take it to heart, but said very seriously, “‘Challenge’ is such a wonderful thing! If you look around and see nothing but emptiness, how lonely life would be!”

“…Yes, you’re right.” Surprisingly, Kanon was moved by these words.

Gozo Murobuchi was an invincible powerhouse in his own field, but he encountered the Wakatsuki samurai in combat, thus gaining a "nemesis" and a direction to strive for, which enriched his life considerably. To some extent, this is quite similar to the ancient Chinese saying, "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement."

After bidding farewell to Murobuchi and Oni-no-yama, Kanon surprisingly felt much more relaxed. In fact, she participated in the Deathmatch Tournament to see the world's best fighters and to find out if there was a mountain that was the highest in the world. Now that the highest mountain in the world was right in front of her, the key was not to reach the summit, but to have the courage to climb to the top. Before, Kanon had been too preoccupied with winning and losing, and had somewhat forgotten her original intention.

With her mindset in check, Kanon even felt that her strength had improved a bit. She suddenly thought that as the elimination tournament was nearing its end, shouldn't she go and see the people she had a connection with?

Without hesitation, Hanon's first stop was the infirmary.

Throughout the entire elimination tournament, the infirmary was definitely the place Hanon was most familiar with outside of the competition venue; she even spent more time there than in Suoh Seitetsu's rest room.

The arena's medical room is always the busiest place outside the arena. Almost every fighter comes here after a battle to get bandaged up or take some painkillers. Especially after the first two rounds, the medical room is overflowing with people, with all sorts of seriously injured fighters gathered there, and several even on the verge of death. It's quite a sight! Everyone's gathered here; they're all talented, have pleasant conversations, and love being here.

At the entrance of the infirmary, Hanon happened to run into Mogi Robinson, who had just changed his bandages and was coming out. This guy was almost killed by Wu Lei'an and was one of the most seriously injured among the fighters in the Deathmatch. Although Yingchu saved his life, he was now using crutches and had his head wrapped in a plaster cast, making it very inconvenient for him to move around. He could only be supported by his younger sister.

"Thank you, Flavo, for teaching that bastard Wu Lei'an a lesson." The Mogi siblings bowed to Hanon together.

"It just happened to be my turn, no big deal."

Well, "Ye Hanon" was quite familiar with Elena Robinson, but "Flavor" didn't have much interaction with either of them, so Hanon gave them a few perfunctory replies and then saw them off before heading into the infirmary.

"Oh, it's Flavo!" Hanon was startled when she was grabbed by a pair of hands as soon as she entered the room.

The man was extremely excited, grabbing Hanon's hand and shaking it vigorously: "Hehe, Flavo, are you here at the infirmary to sign an agreement to donate your organs after being killed? I've wanted to dissect you for so long! Hooray!"

Tch, such a crazy guy, and in the infirmary, of course it's Yingchu.

"Doctor! What are you doing!" Nurse Yoshizawa Kokomi, as always, tried to dissuade Eichu. The two of them were quite a pair of lively characters.

Hanon sighed again, thinking that Hideaki was definitely one of the most eccentric characters in the Kengan Association.

The infirmary was empty at this time. Top fighters are all monsters with superb recovery abilities. The injured from the first two rounds no longer needed to stay in bed after a few days of rest. As for today's quarterfinals, Tokita Ohma won without a fight, Kuroki and Mutaba stopped short of each other, and although Wakatsuki was seriously injured, she was physically strong and was fine. She went outside to watch the match.

So the only injured person in the infirmary is Izumi Hatsumi, and the person taking care of him is Shion Souyuuin. Taking Izumi's defeat as an opportunity, the two of them actually seem to have rekindled their old feelings.

"Uh... excuse me." Seeing the ambiguous atmosphere between the two, Hanon blushed under her bandages and was about to take her leave. Actually, even if it wasn't because of this, she was still a little embarrassed to appear in front of her acquaintance Shion as "Flavor".

"Wait a minute." Unexpectedly, Chu Jian called out to Hanon: "Be careful in the next battle against Gana!"

“…Yes.” Kanon nodded emphatically. No matter how good her mindset was, Kanao was still a formidable opponent that no one could ignore.

Seeing that Chu Jian seemed hesitant to speak, Hana continued to ask, "Uncle, is there anything you want to remind me of?"

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jian said, "There is indeed something I think you should be careful about Gana's 'invisible' form."

"'Invisible'? Is that the arrogant second transformation?" Kanon was stunned. Kanon had always thought that the form of Kana was manic, and she was still racking her brains about how to lure Kana into transforming.

Chu Jian said seriously, "I was completely crushed by Gana. I had no chance at all when he calmed down. I originally thought that by drawing out his 'formless' state and sparring with him in Aikido, I could crush him in my area of ​​expertise... But now I think I might be wrong. Gana has already completed his sublimation. His level is far higher than mine. I'm afraid he can defeat me even if he transforms."

"Huh? You mean..."

"I think that if Gana's strength has improved further than when he fought me, then he may be able to merge the two forms into one and become a truly invincible being!" Hatsumi slowly stated his judgment, or rather, this was a martial arts prophecy made by Hatsumi after realizing the gap between himself and Gana.

"The saying goes, 'To be prudent in your assessment of the enemy.' The battle between Flavor and Ghana is bound to be fierce, but you should overestimate the difficulty of this battle. If Ghana becomes stronger, how will you cope?"

Author's Note: I'll probably need to prepare one or two more chapters.

Section 229, Chapter 227: The Sounds of Flowers Rise and Fall

After meeting Murobuchi and Oni-no-yama, Kanon felt a little better, but after she said goodbye to Hatsune and Shion, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy again.
