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

At the start of the battle, Kirito and Miho were quite relaxed. After all, in their view, Kanon had already survived all the "enemies," and Kuroki, who was fighting against them, was one of their own, so he was definitely fine. It wasn't until Kanon twisted Kuroki's elbow and Kuroki stabbed Kanon's hand that everyone vaguely felt that something was wrong. It seemed that Kanon and Kuroki were fighting seriously...

Now that Kanon is exhausted to the limit, she has activated "Valkyrie Mode," clearly determined to fight to the death. This means that the two have really gotten into a fight, and things are about to get out of control!

"Kane, Kanon..." Kirito was so anxious that he kept pacing around, wishing he could rush into the arena to stop the fight, but Kuroki and Kanon were fighting so fiercely that it was beyond his control.

As for conceding defeat as the president, even if it's not allowed by the rules, I'm afraid neither Kanon nor Kuroki would agree to it!

Miho felt the same way; she genuinely cared for Kanon... The girl clasped her hands together tightly, her nervousness and unease evident: "Please stop fighting!"

While the "friends and family" were worried for Kanon and Kuroki, the ordinary spectators had the opposite attitude. They had been waiting for the entire match, and now they were finally seeing the players reveal their trump cards, making the battle even more exciting. This was truly satisfying!

Katahara Sayaka's commentary also heightened this mood: "Wow, so fast! Look, everyone, Kanon and Kuroki's moves are so fast and powerful! After a series of fierce battles, they still have such stamina? That's amazing!"

Kanon is indeed performing at her best right now. With "Valkyrie" + "Disorder" + "No Beat", even someone as strong as Kuroki can't stop her. Moreover, the damage she suffers after being hit is quite severe, and the muffled groans of "angry roar" are indeed becoming more and more frequent.

"Is this your 'transformation'?" While struggling to parry the attacks, Kuroki calculated the situation of the battle: "It is indeed very powerful. The enhanced physical attributes have brought tremendous attack power. I can't drag out the fight like before."

Just now, Kuroki could steadily exchange blows with Kanon, since Kanon's stamina was almost depleted, making her strong in defense but weak in offense; exhausting Kanon's stamina was the optimal solution. But now that Kanon has "descended like a Valkyrie," her strong defense and weak offense have turned into strong offense and weak defense, and Kuroki can't withstand too many of Kanon's attacks!

Therefore, Kuroki's only viable option was... to launch a preemptive attack.

Section 256, Chapter 254: It's over, hopeless, goodbye.

Kanon's attack power was so strong that even a grandmaster like Kuroki Gensai could not hold out for long. For someone who had been practicing martial arts for less than a year, Kanon was worthy of facing even the greatest martial arts masters of the past.

However, to defeat Kuroki...

Kuroki Gensai had already made up his mind and decided to launch a preemptive attack on Kanon. He acted immediately, delivering a side punch to Kanon's ribs.

"Ugh!" Hana retreated quickly; that punch... was so heavy!

However, Kanon was too slow, and Kuroki's second attack had already arrived, a rapid assault aimed straight at Kanon's face.

Hanon dodged to the side, and to prevent Kuroki from changing his move midway, she even raised one arm to block Kuroki's path for further changes.

However, Kuroki's change of tactics wasn't a punch... it was a headbutt!

A headbutt struck Hanon, catching her off guard. She was hit and blood started flowing from her nose.

"Ugh!" Hanon had no choice but to retreat again, and was met with Kuroki's third attack.

Human internal organs themselves do not have pain receptors; so-called "visceral pain" is actually a signal transmitted to nerves by the peritoneum surrounding the internal organs. However, even disregarding the pain aspect, attacking internal organs remains a very effective method. For example, Kuroki's attack on Kanon just now impacted her liver, further hindering blood flow and ultimately causing a decrease in physical strength, making it difficult for Kanon to dodge the subsequent pursuit.

A beat too slow, Hanon was struck by Kuroki Gensai's sudden elbow strike and was forced to retreat again.

He was spitting blood as he retreated...

With just three strikes, Kuroki Gensai achieved a result that none of the other warriors in the entire elimination tournament had accomplished. Even Kanagawa could not match such power; it was truly terrifying.

Of course, these three attacks also took a toll on Kuroki's energy. After finishing them, he did not pursue them further, but instead stood still to recover his energy and fought steadily.

"This tactic was originally designed to break through Gana's defenses," Kuroki said. "Avoiding the strong and attacking the weak, catching the enemy off guard, is actually just a very basic tactic."

"Hey, Master Kuroki, don't say such scary things so casually! If this is considered basic, then no fighter in the world could survive!" Hanon wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. The fact that she still had the mind to complain meant that her injury wasn't too serious, at least not enough to make her lose the ability to fight back.

But Kuroki's attack was indeed troublesome...

While Kanon's attacks are now virtually flawless, her defense still has weaknesses. Compared to martial artists like Kuroki and Kana, who have reached the "first among the first" level, Kanon's ability to counter attacks is considerably inferior. She can only rely on her "indestructible" strength, which she uses to the extreme to concentrate her muscles, to withstand the attacks. However, this move requires deliberate manipulation. Kuroki's three strikes were precisely aimed at the areas where Kanon activated her "indestructible" strength, avoiding these areas that strengthen her defenses, and then unleashing the heavy attacks that Kuroki had honed over decades on Kanon's vulnerable spots.

Such a move would seem like a fantasy to others, but it makes perfect sense to Gensai Kuroki...

"Uncle Kuroki is so strong!" Rito exclaimed sincerely from the entrance passage. He now felt more and more that becoming Kuroki's apprentice was the wisest decision he had ever made.

Meanwhile, Adam Daddori, standing beside Rihito, was equally moved: "So this is what a martial arts master is like! I've never seen anyone hurt the young lady so easily."

"Shut up, you two!" Miho shouted. She was worried about Kanon and couldn't stand Rito and Adam's rational discussion.

"Yes, yes, we won't say anything more." Rito shrugged. This guy was incredibly friendly to girls; he said he wouldn't talk and he really wouldn't. He just exchanged a glance with Adam, the meaning of which was clear: "Kanon is in deep trouble this time. Do you think she still has a chance to win?"

Adam's gaze was full of helplessness—"This time, the young lady is likely in grave danger!"

Rito and Adam were right. The other fighters watching the match also noticed it. Even experienced viewers saw that Kanon was clearly at a disadvantage. Only novice viewers thought the match was intense and exciting, and that Kanon had only taken a few hits and was still on par with Kuroki.

In fact, even Kanon herself felt a little guilty.

"I'm exhausted. I don't know how much longer I can keep up in Valkyrie mode. My attacks are fine, but Master Kuroki's style of attacking by avoiding the opponent's strength is too heavy. If we go head-to-head, I'll definitely be the first to fall... Is there any other way?"

Upon honest self-reflection, the answer isn't so pleasant. Indestructible armor, razor-sharp fingers, cosmic illusions, Rakshasa Palm, or powerful punches and kicks supported by superhuman physical abilities—these are all martial arts techniques. When one is at the same level or one's level is overwhelming, these techniques are naturally invincible. However, when the issue becomes the martial artist's "way"—knowledge and realm—those cool and powerful techniques become much less effective.

Kanao was also a "First of First" warrior, but he was only at the beginner level. In addition, he needed to switch between two modes, so he could not maintain "First of First" throughout. When he finally evolved a second time and shortened the mode switching time to the limit, almost to the point of being able to stay in "First of First", he encountered Kanon's "No Beat". When he was exhausted, he suffered a serious injury. One wrong step led to another, and he finally lost the battle.

If Kanon and Kanon were to fight again now, the outcome would be uncertain. Moreover, Kanon is currently severely exhausted, and she is facing Kuroki Gensai, who has progressed further in the "Supreme of the Supreme" realm and is in perfect physical condition...

"It's over, there's no hope, goodbye." At this moment, Huayin thought of Bian Que's three consecutive words. She wanted to facepalm, and even wanted to admit defeat. This battle was really impossible to fight.

Kuroki noticed Kanon's hesitation and asked considerately, "What's wrong, Kanon? Do you want to admit defeat?"

"I..." Hana gasped, fear and trepidation rising in her heart. A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Should she throw this round?

As the battle drew to a close, Hanon surveyed the entire arena, the cheers echoing from all sides, the expressions of the crowd excited and exhilarated. The commentator, Kaname Katagami, was diligently explaining the situation and creating a lively atmosphere. Behind her were over twenty fighters who had participated in the final match, some excited, some serious, all watching intently. Meanwhile, in the entrance passage, Kiriki Takakaze and Mieko Suoh watched her with concerned and anxious expressions.

"Hoo—" Hanon's thoughts shifted from Kirito and Mihono's anxiety to the fighters who were injured but insisted on fighting, then from the fighters to the lively stands, and finally back to the arena, looking at Kuroki Gensai in front of her.

"I won't give up," Hanon replied.

On a stage like this, it would be such a waste to give up, wouldn't it?

“…Okay.” Kuroki didn’t ask any more questions. He could tell that his disciple, whom he didn’t admit it to but had long since accepted in his heart, had just undergone another mental transformation.

"Master Kuroki, when was your most glorious moment?" With a relaxed attitude, Kanon even scratched her head and casually joked, "As for me... it's right now."

Author's Note: My home computer broke down. I tried to fix it myself last night but failed, so I had to go to the office to get my laptop. It took me until after 3 AM to figure it out. I'm so miserable... Buying a new computer will cost several thousand yuan, 5555

Section 257, Chapter 255: The Best Flower Sounds, the Worst Flower Sounds

"What are you talking about? How old are you?" Kuroki frowned. Kanon's attitude was like she was ready to fight to the death. Did she really want to risk her life in this battle?

Upon thinking of this, even the composed Kuroki Gensai felt a chill in his heart.

Kuroki didn't understand the joke, which made him a little worried. Actually, Kanon was just saying it casually and didn't mean anything by it. It was just that she didn't care about winning or losing.

When Kanon uttered that famous line from "Slam Dunk," she was already quite calm. In this new world that seemed to be a crossover between different anime series after she transmigrated, Kanon, who hadn't paid much attention to anime in her previous life, didn't know much. "Slam Dunk" was one of the few stories she was familiar with, and she said that line in a teasing manner.

The battle was likely lost, but Kanon wanted to fight back and see her limits. With that thought in mind, Kanon launched a new attack on Kuroki Gensai.

Cosmic phantom.

Kuroki sidestepped, and Kanon closed the distance, switching to close-quarters combat once more. Kuroki blocked, Kanon countered with another attack, Kuroki blocked again, and Kanon attacked for the third time, which Kuroki countered for the third time...

Kuroki then launched a counterattack.

During their standoff and regrouping, Kuroki was still mindful of Kanon's safety and held back somewhat in their exchanges. However, once they entered combat, Kuroki became ruthless. After all, this was a high-level duel where the situation could change in an instant. Just like Kanon, who dared not be careless when facing the heavily injured Wakatsuki samurai and Kanon, at this level of skill, one wrong step could lead to a series of mistakes, and they all had the power to turn the tide with a single blow.

With two loud thuds, Kuroki struck Kanon, and Kanon struck Kuroki at almost the same moment. Both of them staggered and staggered backward.

Kanon was lighter, so she could retreat a longer distance. This was originally a good opportunity for Kuroki to pursue her, but Kanon fought with all her might. As soon as she stopped retreating, she launched another attack. It took her about the same amount of time as Kuroki to recover, and they maintained their offensive momentum.

"Hmm, Kanon, your playing style is too aggressive!" Kuroki sighed inwardly, "It's bad for your health."

There's no way around it; this is the price of choosing to go all out. The situation is just that critical right now. If we go all out normally, Kuroki will cause even more damage. If Kanon doesn't pull herself together and puts in more effort to level the score each time, the match will have already fallen into Kuroki's rhythm.

It's like drinking poison to quench thirst; Hanon is using all her strength to maintain sufficient power and speed, which is impossible to sustain for long.

Sure enough, as the back-and-forth continued, Kanon's stamina was almost exhausted, and she could only barely maintain her Valkyrie form, completely abandoning her "Indestructible" ability.

"Bang!" "Bang!" After about half a minute of clashing, Kanon and Kuroki struck each other simultaneously again. This time, Kanon's body couldn't take it anymore.

She leaned back, unable to muster the energy to move forward again. On the other hand, Kuroki Gensai, although he had also exhausted a lot of energy in the exchange of blows and suffered some injuries, maintained his rhythm and was still able to keep up with the attack.

Kanon has tried her best, but unfortunately, the barrier of Kuroki Gensai is simply too high...

Kuroki's attack struck Kanon's head. It was a very heavy blow that went straight for a vital spot. Kanon's body, which had been relatively stable while retreating, immediately went limp after being hit.

ended.

Amidst the varied shouts of the spectators, Kuroki's final attack arrived.

This attack was also aimed at Hanon's face, hitting two vital points in a short time. No one could fight anymore!

Kanon was also affected, but she didn't take the hit.

Hanon's figure disappeared from Kuroki's sight. The next moment, Kuroki's "danger alarm," which had just calmed down after gaining the upper hand, suddenly sounded a loud alarm again—an attack was approaching!

The one who launched the attack was, of course, Kanon. At the crucial moment of the battle, she was still able to muster up the strength to launch an attack from a tricky angle.

Even Kuroki was shocked. He abandoned his attack and instead dodged and retreated. Kanon's performance once again exceeded his expectations, and this required careful observation. Kuroki himself had always adhered to the principle that "martial arts is observation."

However, Kanon didn't give Kuroki much time. Her pursuit arrived immediately. It was a series of rapid attacks that weren't particularly powerful, swift as the wind and smoke, but not like thunder and rain, each move aimed at Kuroki's vitals.

After dodging two or three attacks, Kuroki was increasingly astonished: "These moves... are incredibly precise!"

Indeed, this time, Kanon's attack not only had the characteristics of being "out of rhythm" and "disordered," but the accuracy of the attack was also greatly improved. In the previous parrying, Kuroki was able to protect his vital points, but now he seemed to be getting a little flustered.

"Kanon, you..." Kuroki grew increasingly panicked as he fought, finally finding an opening. Taking advantage of a pause in Kanon's breathing, his attacks began to falter slightly. Kuroki quickly retreated, parrying three or four of Kanon's follow-up attacks, finally easing the crisis. Even so, he was still cut in several places by the razor blades on his fingers.

"Ah, that's it!" Yamashita Kazuo, who was also watching the match, exclaimed. He had seen this move before: "That's not Setsuna-kun's..."

“Yes, it’s exorcism.” Tokita Ohma, who was next to Kazuo, nodded: “This is the ‘endangering stagnation’ phenomenon, which is when a person is in a crisis, the things around them suddenly become slow-motion. Kiryu Setsuna’s ‘exorcism’ is a secret method to ensure that the limiter is unlocked when a crisis occurs.”

Wang Ma looked at the arena: "Whether Ye Huayin mastered the Demon Subduing Technique or entered this state by chance, she has become stronger. Even Kuroki Gensai might not be able to handle her... However, this state is more damaging to the body than my 'Divine Possession,' and Ye Huayin has obviously reached the point of exhaustion."

"Ah! Is that so?" Ichifu couldn't help but feel nervous. "Miss Kanon has helped us a lot. I hope she's alright!"

Kanon doesn't actually "exorcise demons." This state was an accident. After being hit on the head by Kuroki, her consciousness went into a daze, meeting the basic conditions for "near-death stagnation." Combined with her willpower to fight, her pre-match mental preparation, and the fatigue and rest after the fierce battle with Gana, she accidentally activated a cheat code just before her defeat.
