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

A new king ascends the throne, and the old king must fall. This is true not only in the realm of fighters, but also for the controllers of the Kengan Corporation.

With Ghana's defeat and the destruction of Pianyuan Hall, the reign of this business tycoon who had led the Boxer Rebellion for nearly fifty years came to an end.

Gana was filled with guilt for the decline of his master's half-century of dominance, which was even more unbearable than his own defeat.

"Sir, I..."

Pianyuan Miedang raised a withered hand, stopping Gana from speaking: "No need to say anything more, Ae, there are some things I need to tell you first... Actually, I was planning to hand over the position of president of the Kengan Association in this Deadly Tournament."

"Ah!" Gana was shocked. Not only him, but the other two of the "Three Feathered Crows" who were guarding Pianyuan Miedang, Ying Shan and Wang Sen, also looked at their master with blank expressions, completely unable to believe what he was saying.

"Sir, why are you..."

After a moment of silence, Pianyuan Miedang slowly said, "Because I'm tired of it."

"During my long years as the president of the Kengan Association, I don't know when it happened, but there was no one around me who could threaten me anymore... I was tired of this narrow world from the bottom of my heart, which made people degenerate like frogs at the bottom of a well. I longed for an equal battle like back then, to fight desperately for the president's seat. This is why I was willing to push Nogi to start the final match."

"This ultimate tournament, gathering all the strongest contenders, certainly didn't disappoint me. Just as I predicted, this year's event has given rise to a new trend... Hehehe, at this age, I've become a challenger again. It seems this old man can't retire yet!"

Pian Yuan Miedang turned around, his old and frail body brimming with youthful vitality: "You have a long road ahead of you, A'e."

“…My lord.” Gana was silent for a moment, then shook his head. “I also have something to say.”

"Please allow me to resign from my position as the Fang of Destruction."

Author's Note: Today is just a transition; Kanon and Kuroki will still have to fight next.

Also, the scene with Kanon and Garuda was really visually evocative, but I couldn't find a suitable image in time. Can you imagine what it looked like? (＃^.^＃)

Section 249, Chapter 247: A Gathering of People

Gana Aya's resignation as the Fang of Destruction stunned everyone for a moment, but after a brief pause, everyone seemed to have anticipated it.

Pianyuan Miedang smiled nonchalantly: "Is that so? It seems that your first defeat has also affected you a lot... Then go ahead, Ae. I believe that when you return, you will be even stronger."

"My lord..." For many years, Pianyuan Miedang had been like a father to Gano Awa, nurturing him and giving him a lot of care and help. Now that he was about to say goodbye, even the cold-faced Yama Gano Awa couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Instead, Katahara Metsudo continued speaking: "Speaking of which, although I initiated the deadly elimination tournament, I didn't really believe you would lose! Originally, I managed to find Kuroki Gensai and asked him to participate. I thought Kuroki was the one who could cause you trouble, but I didn't expect... hehehe, the little girl from the Suoh family won a lot of money from me!"

Katahara Mitsudo gazed into the distance. In the passage opposite where Kanon, Garuda, and Mihono were located, although it was impossible to see any figures, Katahara's old chairman seemed to see a treasure.

"A young and inexperienced club president, and an incredibly powerful female fighter—this combination is so interesting! Although they're still a bit green now, I wonder how far they'll grow in the future!"

As Katahara Mitsudo said, at this moment all the fighters and all the presidents of the Kengan Association companies have realized one thing: with the old president stepping down, either Takakaze Kirito, Suoh Mieko, or whoever they have designated, will inevitably rise as a new force and a new king.

Although a new king will emerge, his throne may not be secure. Even if it is, he will need to rebuild his power base and divide spheres of influence. With Suoh Mieko and Hakanami at the center of the storm, the Kengan Association will enter a "Warring States period." The future will inevitably be filled with intrigue and bloodshed, giving birth to countless new legends.

"This battle is truly of extraordinary significance," thought Samurai Wakatsuki, a new goal already appearing before him.

"Hey, hey, hey, what will be the outcome now?" Izumi's thoughts also represented those of some of the fighters.

"How could this happen? Our new master of the Sirius Clan has lost just like that..." Cough cough, of course, there are also guys like Ren Nikaido who only care about themselves.

The fighters on the high platform were not yet ready to relax; they were even holding their breath, waiting for the final battle.

The old era has passed, who will rule the new era? Who will claim the title of the greatest fighter in the Kengan Association?

Well, there's still one more match in the final showdown, so it's normal for everyone to feel nervous. What they didn't know was that in the White Night News' break room, the two companies that would be facing off next were all gathered together…

"Ee--" Hana slowly opened her eyes and woke up. After sleeping for about ten minutes, her physical strength had recovered a little.

The physical abilities of fighters are terrifying, and Hanon had long been aware of this. After so much training and hardship, she herself had become a monster. After a short while following the fierce battle, she had already rallied.

Then, when Hanon opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was not Garuda or Miho, but Kuroki Gensai's weathered old face covered with a thick beard.

"Oh my god, a ghost!" Hana was still half asleep when she screamed and jumped up, startling everyone else in the room.

Kuroki even scratched his head and asked, "Am I really that ugly?"

"Eh—it's Master Kuroki! Hahaha, don't take it seriously, I was just... half asleep." Hanon realized what was happening and quickly went over to apologize. After this incident, the atmosphere in the lounge immediately became harmonious, and the air inside and outside the room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Kanon looked around and saw that Garuda was not there; he had left sometime earlier. The people associated with Motorbike and Suoh Steel, including Kiriki Takakaze, Gensai Kuroki, Rihito, Mieko Suoh, Adam Dadori, and Kanon, were all in the house.

Upon seeing Kirito, Kanon walked over, bowed, and grinned, saying, "Uncle, I defeated the Fang of Destroyer!"

"Hmph." Kirito snorted lightly, without replying. His niece was good in every way, except that she was too obsessed with martial arts. From learning martial arts to participating in the death match and then to fighting against Kanaga, she always made Kirito worry and be terrified. But this time, she defeated Kanaga again. He was afraid that she would be even less likely to listen to him from now on!

This feeling of self-reproach is just like Hera, the queen of the gods in Greek mythology, watching helplessly as her husband Zeus's illegitimate son Hercules completed the twelve labors and ascended to the position of the mighty god. His achievements were truly outstanding, and no matter how bitter it was, she had to keep it to herself.

"Huayin, don't make things difficult for your uncle." Kuroki Gensai acted as a peacemaker: "He has been worried about you all this time, and it hasn't been easy for him either."

Well, Kirito's deep affection for Kanon is something even Heaven can pity, and even if Heaven doesn't pity him, Kuroki, who has always been by Kirito's side, knows it.

"Oh." Hanon responded, still quite honest with Kuroki: "I know Uncle is very worried about me. I promise, after this competition, I will stay at home obediently."

As they spent more time together, everyone present, except for Rito, knew Kanon's personality. Her promises were extremely reliable, and she would never break her vows easily. Therefore, they were very happy to receive Kanon's assurance, feeling as gratified as an old father who thought, "My niece has finally become sensible."

"Good boy, it's good that you're willing to promise this." Kiji had already started planning for the future: "After the final match, you should find a high school to go to. Tokyo is so big, there are thousands of high schools, both private and public. Just pick one to study at. With the power of the Takakaze family, there's no school we can't get into!"

Hanon stuck out her tongue: "You're already arranging things for me? Isn't there still one more match in the final round?" She winked at Kuroki: "The next match is our duel, Master Kuroki, please go easy on me~"

Unexpectedly, Kuroki shook his head, his expression solemn: "That's right, the next battle will be between you and me."

Kuroki became serious, and Kanon followed suit, saying solemnly, "The final is a duel between our master and disciple."

Kuroki remained silent for a while, then said, "I will go all out in this battle."

Kanon nodded: "I know, and I won't hold back either."

As the two talked, the atmosphere became a little awkward, but Rito noticed a hint of doting affection: "Uncle Kuroki always says he's against taking on apprentices, but when Kanon just said it was a battle between master and apprentice, Uncle Kuroki didn't deny it at all..."

Author's Note: Rational Person, you've discovered the singularity.

Section 250, Chapter 248: Passing the Gate Without Killing the General

"Wow... Look, look, look! The frenzy shows no signs of stopping! Listen to the deafening cheers! The entire arena seems to be shaking!"

The final break passed quickly, and Katahara Sheka was about to go down to the arena to guide the fighters in. This young lady was not sad at all because her father stepped down as the president of the Kengan Association, and she didn't even have any emotional fluctuations. She really inherited her father's magnanimity.

"The venue for the finals is ready. Now we just need to wait for the two contestants to enter." She Xiang stood up. "Like everyone else, I'm really looking forward to the final result!"

Yes, who wouldn't look forward to it?

After several days of travel and fierce battles, many strong fighters have poured their blood and sweat into the arena, coming up with all sorts of ingenious strategies and tactics. There has been blood, tears and sweat... Everyone's mind has long been bound to this deadly elimination tournament!

The atmosphere was getting increasingly heated. Although it was only a few minutes of waiting compared to the previous days of fighting, people were already getting restless, including the fighters watching from the high platform.

"Ha! How can I see the game from here? I want to get off!"

The first to step forward was Guan Linchun, which was indeed in line with his bold and unrestrained style. Immediately afterward, the equally cheerful Ghost King Mountain Lord agreed, saying, "That's right! How can we see the details of the match from such a distance? This is the final battle of the decisive match, how can we not observe carefully? Go downstairs! Go downstairs!"

With these two leading the way, Nezu Masaki, Chiba Takayuki, Murobuchi Gozo... the fighters gathered on the high platform all set off for the lowest tier of the stands.

The fighters arrived right behind the commentary booth, and Katahara Sayaka found it very lively, happily announcing to everyone, "A lot of fighters have gradually gathered behind me!"

"Hahaha, this is exhilarating!" Passain pulled a reluctant Gaolang along, "Let's go see the bottom! Let's go see the bottom!"

“Hey, why did everyone leave? We finally got a room on the upper floor for us to watch the game…” Kaneda Suekichi said with a hint of regret, but quickly turned to Himuro Ryo: “Let’s go down too, don’t lose our good spot.”

Naoya Okubo, pushing Kosuke Imai, and Elena Robinson, pushing her brother Mogi, also came downstairs. Even the loners like Zero Mikazuki and Julius, who were usually solitary, were no longer so out of place and joined the crowd as they rushed to the sidelines.

When they reached the lower stands, Julius saw Ren Nikaido: "So you're still alive, kid..."

Nikaido blushed and sighed, "We're the only ones left from the group that set off together. I never expected this."

Well, Toyo Electric Power's rebellion has also brought some turbulence to this deadly elimination tournament. Even the only fighter to lose his life in the competition, Masaki Meguro, was a member of Toyo Electric Power's crew.

Nikaido tapped Julius's pectoral muscle: "Hey Julius, Toyo Electric Power is finished. We Sirius have now switched to the tutelage of Master Kagen. Do you want to consider coming over too?"

Julius shook his head: "I'm not short of money. I'll take a break for a while and then look into new jobs." After saying that, he glanced at "Tiger," who had also come to the lower stands to watch the match: "Wakatsuki Samurai, if I have the chance, I'd really like to fight you again."

As for Wakatsuki, his attention was completely focused on the finals: "Yo Hanane... you were extremely exhausted after the battle with Gana. Will you be able to break through Kuroki Gensai? Good luck! I'm still looking forward to my revenge match with you!"

Another person thinking about Kanon was Wu Lei'an. Of course, he didn't have the kind of romantic thoughts that Old Master Wu expected; he just felt the scene was too noisy. Ever since he realized he was inferior to Kanon and Kanao, he had unexpectedly calmed down. Although he still made the hearts of the ordinary audience members around him pound, it was much gentler than the atmosphere at the beginning, which felt like it could kill someone at any moment.

Raian was seated in a rather secluded spot. He and Aguya Kiyoaki were among the very few fighters who hadn't followed the main group. Hiyama Shunka even asked, "Aguya, shall we move a little closer?"

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together." Aguya refused: "Although Ye Huayin is powerful, she is not on the same side as me. It is enough for us to sit in a place a little closer."

Hiyama Shunka fell silent, though she secretly longed to move closer. From their first meeting, the female club president had shown a high level of affection for Kanon.

Actually, it wasn't just the fighters; the presidents of the Kengan Association were also closely watching the outcome of this battle. However, their focus was on who would become the new president of the Kengan Association, and they didn't need to know how the strongest fighters made their moves. So most of the presidents stayed obediently in the stands or the lounge.

There were even people in the infirmary...

"Hey, Hatsune, your injuries have been mostly healed, right? Why are you still hanging around here?" Souyuuin Shion was a little speechless. Hatsune was indeed a patient, but not a seriously ill one at all!

"Oh dear, just thinking about having to walk to such a noisy environment in the stands to watch the game makes me feel so tired..." Chu Jian laughed heartily, looking like he had returned to his carefree and irresponsible self.

Having known each other for so many years, Ziyin is very familiar with the routines of their first meeting!

"I mean... when we first met, you didn't just want to be alone with me, did you?"

"Huh? I...I..." When Ziyin caught him in the act, this usually flirtatious but occasionally innocent playboy became a little awkward.

Just as the atmosphere in the infirmary was becoming increasingly awkward or ambiguous, a huge commotion erupted on the screen. The final round of the elimination tournament was about to begin, and the contestants were already entering the arena.

"Phew, let's watch the game first." Taking this opportunity, Chu Jian successfully changed the subject.

Or perhaps this guy wasted another great opportunity to find happiness?

"He's here! It's Kuroki Gensai!" Katahara Sayaka announced, "The first to appear in the final battle of this deadly elimination tournament is the 'Demon Gun,' the assassin from the underworld, Kuroki Gensai!"

Kuroki strode into the arena with steady steps, but in addition to cheers, he was also greeted with a few boos.

Ahem, well, it's all because this "good disciple" of Hanon has tarnished her master's reputation quite a bit along the way...
