There is still some mercy—rather than go to that chaotic battlefield, I would rather stop her from advancing here?

In short, the tall young man threw a punch, half intentionally and half unintentionally, which struck Hana in the back, sending her flying forward.

The tall young man was stunned, because Kanon was truly "floating." As a senior student at Suzuran High School, he had managed to survive without forming cliques, relying solely on his unparalleled personal fighting prowess. Even after Takiya Genji defeated Serizawa Tamao last year, he still couldn't dominate Suzuran because of the young man's presence, preventing Takiya Genji from truly reaching the pinnacle of Suzuran. Over the years, his punches had struck countless people, most of whom suffered broken bones and collapsed to the ground. The few who managed to stand were severely injured, and even the rarest of super-tough guys would bleed and stumble back after taking a punch from him, never emerging unscathed.

Unfortunately, he witnessed this scene on Hanon today. When his fist struck Hanon, the sensation was not that of a human body, but more like a ball of cotton or a feather, requiring no effort at all.

The young man represents the peak of Suzuran's martial prowess, but Kanon is close to the peak of all humankind's martial prowess!

Although it was only a few days, the combination of her innate skills and Guo Haihuang's "force absorption" was just too perfect. Huayin's mastery of this technique increased day by day. It was already quite remarkable that the young man's punch could send her "floating" away from behind.

"It's not your fault." Hana turned around and looked at the young man. "It was because I was too late in restraining my killing intent. You... that punch was pretty good."

She was completely unharmed! The young man, certain of his suspicions, couldn't help but ask, even though he was usually taciturn, "How did you do that?"

Hanon tilted her head and said, "Do what? Oh, you mean deflect the force of your punch? That's a fighting technique!" Because she was tilting her head, the shouts of the delinquents became even more intense. Hanon didn't pay much attention to the young man: "I have to get to my next event, so I won't waste any more time with you. Bye~"

"Martial arts..." The young man was very talented. Many people had said that he could pursue a career in professional martial arts after graduation, but he hadn't paid much attention. He had fought against many martial arts masters, including some very famous martial artists, but none of them could beat him. It seemed that martial arts weren't all that impressive. Unexpectedly, the girl he met by chance today, who asked for directions, made him experience the power and charm of martial arts for the first time in his life.

Watching Hanon's retreating figure, the young man couldn't help but shout, "Hey! My name is Hayashida Megumi, and I'll be learning martial arts too!"

As she ran forward, Hana turned around and smiled sweetly: "Okay, you'll see me when you reach the top."

"In the end, she still didn't say her name..." The tall young man, Lin Tianhui, scratched his messy hair. At this moment, he was determined about his future career path. Several years later, Toaru City sent another outstanding professional to Tokyo.

However, this decision did not bring any changes to Suzuran High School, because no one could beat Hayashida Megumi before or after.

Sigh, even the strongest delinquents are still delinquents. Japanese high school students can certainly destroy the world, no, save the world, but in a low-level martial arts world, not everyone can be a dragon! Just like today's super battle between Suzuran and Housen, their individual fighting strength is really not worth mentioning.

"They're all weak. But this scene is just too spectacular!" When she arrived at the playground, Hana was shocked by the scene. In an era without major battles, a brawl involving thousands of people was the ultimate sensory experience. Watching a group of young men fight each other to the extreme for the so-called "peak" and "grudges," Hana, though an outsider, felt her blood boil.

"Oh, the pinnacle of lily of the valley, huh?" This was the most frequently heard phrase during the chaotic brawl on the playground, and Kanon quickly picked it up: "Let me stand up and take a look too!"

Author's note: This guy, Megumi Hayashida, is indeed the pinnacle of fighting power in the "Crows Zero" series. He is said to be one of the few people in Japan who are better than him. He was also once considered to have the strength of a professional boxing champion. After graduating, it is rumored that he first traveled around Japan and later embarked on the path of a professional fighter.

Section 420, Chapter 414: Have you heard the story of the chivalrous knight-errant?

Fighting isn't like inviting someone to dinner; you can't just pat someone on the shoulder and say, "Please let me through." Actually... it's much simpler. Kanon doesn't even need to say hello; she can just walk into the crowd.

Hanon was wearing a red hoodie today, while Suzuran's school uniform was black and Housen's was white. The distinction between friend and foe was clear and easy to identify. So when they were on the periphery, the thugs were quite rational and each went to fight their own opponents. No one paid any attention to Hanon, who was not particularly tall.

But as Kanon approached the school building, the situation changed.

The closer they got to the teaching building, the closer they got to the eye of the storm of conflict. There, Suzuran and Phoenix had fought tooth and nail, their eyes bloodshot. When they saw Hanon in red, they instinctively thought, "She is not of our kind, so her heart must be different," and began to pounce on her to launch an attack.

As for Kanon... she didn't parry; she came here to practice absorbing force, in other words, she mainly focused on taking hits. If the delinquents didn't attack her, Kanon would actually be very troubled.

A thug from the lily of the valley threw a punch, but when it touched Hana's body, it felt like the force had vanished into thin air, leaving her stunned. When she looked up, she saw that the "red-clothed kid" from before had already ignored her and continued walking.

"Damn it, who do you think you are!" Delinquents can't stand being looked down upon. Enraged, the thug chased after Hanon and punched and kicked her again, but just like before, all his attacks were ineffective, at most sending Hanon forward a couple of steps.

"Demon, demonic magic?" After his repeated attacks failed, the delinquent was shocked and momentarily forgot that he was on a battlefield. Before he could pay attention, he was knocked to the ground by the bald student from Fengxian and then beaten and kicked by him.

As Kanon continued forward, this scene repeated itself, and gradually some of the smaller leaders became aware of Kanon's presence.

"There's a young man in red over there, and it looks like he's slowly approaching?"

"Are you from Linglan?"

"Are you from Fengxian?"

"Forget it, he's just a skinny guy anyway. The big guys are all fighting it out in the teaching building. We'll just block the door and not let anyone in."

So both sides shrugged and resumed their battle.

More and more people attacked Hanon along the way. Sometimes they were Suzuran's students, sometimes Housen's, and there were even cases where Suzuran and Housen cooperated! When they saw that both the enemy's fist and their own fist landed on the "Red Boy", the delinquents were stunned. Then they realized that their attacks were ineffective, and they saw the same shock in the other's eyes.

"Who exactly is this kid in red? How can he be so resilient!"

"A monster..."

Which school did you go to?

Faced with all sorts of exclamations and questions, Hanon didn't respond and just silently walked towards the teaching building alone.

However, her continued silence revealed that Kanon wasn't having an easy time either...

Entering the chaotic battlefield alone, Kanon never activated her "Indestructible Vajra" ability, relying solely on energy dissipation for defense. The principle of energy dissipation is to transform oneself into a feather, completely stretching and relaxing the body, maintaining a state of unconsciousness, and thoroughly eliminating the stiffness in the muscles, bones, and tendons. It sounds easy, but it is actually extremely difficult. Even someone as strong as Kanon only gained a slight understanding of it in a short time. She was fine in a one-on-one fight, but in situations like being surrounded by a group of delinquents, even Kanon would suffer some damage.

In this life, she is, after all, a woman. Even though she has been working out at Mr. Silver's gym to build muscle, making her much stronger than the average person, her upper limit for resilience is still not high when she doesn't use her skills.

This path was not easy, this path was difficult, but it also brought Hanon considerable gains. The mediocre attack power of the delinquents actually gave Hanon the opportunity to adapt to the feeling of neutralizing their force. Along the way, she gradually went from needing to protect her head and vital points at the beginning to not needing to protect herself at all. If it was just a delinquent launching an attack, no matter where Hanon was hit, it would have no effect whatsoever.

As she walked to the entrance of the teaching building, Hana finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew... This was unexpectedly tiring, and this outfit is ruined. It's covered in footprints and fist marks, and it's torn in several places."

Compared to her clothes, Hanon was not in such a sorry state. Apart from a few occasional mistakes in absorbing power, which resulted in a little blood being wiped from the corner of her mouth, her spirits were high and she was brimming with the joy of technical progress.

At the entrance of the teaching building, the leaders of the two schools were fighting each other for a long time. In the end, Fengxian had more people and gained the upper hand. They formed a human wall and charged back and forth. The students of Linglan were pushed to the wall and then punched and kicked.

As soon as Hana stepped through the door, she was met with a wall of people crashing into her. The force was so great that Hana couldn't help but cheer, "Good day!"

Force dissipation and force manipulation are inherently interconnected, and Hanon learned the art of force manipulation from the American football field, making it her forte to withstand multiple collisions! In high spirits, Hanon single-handedly blocked the shoving of more than a dozen delinquents from Housen, deflecting their force onto the ground beneath her feet. With a "crack," a large section of the school's tiles shattered, but Hanon did not retreat an inch!

"My God! What am I seeing!" This scene was beyond reason. The delinquents who still had the energy to notice it exclaimed in surprise. A thin boy in red was able to withstand the attack of more than ten people from Fengxian without moving an inch.

"Hey, pinch me, am I dreaming? Can humans really do something like that?" A student from Lily of the Valley was stunned.

A bald student from Fengxian next to him was also stunned: "I... I can't believe it either! This kind of scene only happens in legends! Have you ever heard the story of the chivalrous knight-errant..."

I don't know, I've never heard of it!

Before the two yakuza aspirants could even recount the most famous anecdote from the world of Japanese chivalry, Kanon had already begun her counterattack.

The students from the Hōsen school, forming a human wall, kept pushing forward, but they couldn't budge Hanon. Their strength gradually dissipated. At this moment, Hanon suddenly withdrew her resistance, causing the human wall to lose its balance. At the same time, she applied pressure to them from the side and downwards. As a result, a dozen or so Hōsen students fell to the ground, and a vacuum suddenly appeared in this densely populated battle zone.

"I was wrong." The bald student from Fengxian who was about to talk about "Ode to Gallantry" said blankly, "This is an even more remarkable legend than 'Ode to Gallantry'! That boy in red... wait, where is he?"

While she was dodging and knocking down the human wall, Hanon had already rushed up to the second floor while everyone was distracted. She had already encountered ordinary delinquents, and there should be even stronger people upstairs!

Having climbed one more level, the realm was indeed completely different. It wasn't that the delinquents had become stronger... well, they had become a little stronger, but for someone like Hanon, there was no difference. It was just that this group was more obsessed with winning and losing, their fighting was more fierce and intense, and they had also started using martial arts routines.

"What an excellent training ground..." The battle was so intense that Kanon only had time to utter half a sentence before she was caught up in a brawl between dozens of delinquents. This kind of high-density, fast-paced fighting was very different from a one-on-one arena match. Although Kanon could handle it, once she was caught up in it, she could only use energy-dissipating techniques. Like a feather being blown around by a strong wind, she drifted around until she finally rushed to the door of a classroom.

After dispersing the dense crowd of Fengxian students at the entrance, Hanon went inside and found two other people facing off.

One of them was none other than Narumi Taiga, the leader of the Housen sect. Upon seeing someone enter, he impatiently scolded, "Hey, didn't I tell you not to disturb us?"

Then he noticed Hanon: "Hmm? I don't recognize you. Are you Suzuran's student?"

"No, the one in red isn't from Suzuran." The one confronting Narumi Taiga wasn't Suzuran's leader Takiya or Serizawa, but a fierce-looking bald young man named Makise Takashi. He was one of the leaders of the Suzuran delinquents and had encountered Narumi after charging in. The two had a grudge from the past, and now they were going to settle it.

Hanon shrugged: "Never mind which side I'm on. I'm asking you, do you want to fight me?"

Author's Note: I only realized after finishing writing that this chapter contains references to both "The Wandering Swordsman" and "Do You Want to Fight Me?"—both Baki and Kengan references, lol. But I'm not going to tell the story of "The Wandering Swordsman"~

Ahem, speaking of which, this chapter was just six words away from charging extra Cat Coins, but I stopped (proud face). I'm the one who protected everyone's wallets~

Section 421, Chapter 415: In the Name of Phoenix

When Kanon uttered those words, both Narumi Taiga and Makise Takashi were stunned. Narumi then gave a disdainful smile, while Makise flew into a rage.

"Hey, you brat, who came from here? Trying to interfere?" Makise walked over and grabbed Kanon's collar. "Do you want a beating? Get out of here! Don't disturb our duel!"

As a delinquent, Makise's tugging at his collar was quite forceful, instantly revealing Hanon's fair neck, which startled him: "Hmm?"

Upon closer inspection, the young man in red, though travel-worn and with relatively short hair, possessed exquisite features, with rosy lips and white teeth. His face, while handsome, also retained a touch of femininity. Coupled with his pristine, untouched neck, he was simply... simply...

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Just as Makise realized the truth and was about to say something, the scent of Hanon's body wafted into his nose again, creating an even stronger impact. For a moment, the guy actually started trembling, and his grip loosened.

Having been a man before, Kanon felt this reaction was somewhat familiar? A thought flashed through her mind, and she understood the situation: so this Makise was a "happy boy"?!

"Ah! You pervert!" Hanon screamed, feeling offended. Forget about any energy-relieving exercises, she pushed with all her might. The force was so great that Makise was sent flying like a meteor, half of his body crashing through the classroom door, and he lost consciousness.

When the students from Housen who were guarding outside saw Makise's miserable state, they assumed it was Narumi's doing and cheered, "As expected of Narumi-nii! A true man among men!"

However, at this moment, Narumi Taiga, the real man they were talking about, was also looking at Makise with a shocked expression.

Of course, what people outside saw was Makise's head, while Narumi saw Makise's buttocks... and her legs that were still twitching from time to time.

Narumi's smile had shifted from disdain to admiration: "Makise is a strongman I acknowledge. He's tough, loyal, and incredibly hardworking. It would probably take me 30-40% of my strength to defeat him. I never expected, I really never expected, that someone could take him down with a single punch." He raised his fist: "You're strong, but I'm not afraid of you. So, it's my turn to fight you, brat."

Narumi's words were indeed quite manly, but unfortunately it was like talking to a brick wall. Kanon had just recovered from the psychological trauma caused by Makise's bizarre behavior when she immediately regretted her push: "Sigh, I promised to only use the force-absorbing method, but I forgot in my excitement."

There's nothing we can do about it. Power neutralization is a very comprehensive technique system, capable of both offense and defense. However, the defensive power neutralization is quite similar to what Kanon learned in the past, making it easier to practice. Offensive power neutralization, on the other hand, is a completely new technique for Kanon, one she hasn't mastered yet. In her moment of panic, she couldn't possibly have used power neutralization.

As Hanon was thinking, she suddenly felt the wind approaching, and before she could react, Narumi's fist was already on her face.

"Pfft—" Hana's mouth broke again, and another spurt of blood gushed out.

"My all-out punch only resulted in a little blood on my lip?" This result clearly left Narumi Taiga very dissatisfied, and he was starting to feel lost.

“No, this punch was already exceptionally good, if you knew who I am…” Hana raised her finger, wiped her mouth, saw the blood on her face, and gave a bitter smile: “Guo Haihuang’s power dissipation emphasizes naturalness, every move he makes always carries the effect of power dissipation, so he’s not afraid even if he’s suddenly attacked. I’m still far behind, I still need to prepare in advance to activate power dissipation, which is not good… But then again, isn’t this exactly why I came here to practice this?”

Kanon beckoned Narumi with her blood-stained finger: "If you don't mind, please hit me again."

"Damn it, are you a masochist?!" Provoked by Kanon, Narumi's anger surged, and he launched a series of heavy punches. But this time, Kanon was on guard, and his punches and kicks had no effect at all, all of which were neutralized.

"The pressure isn't great, and the practice isn't very effective either." You can't fake being prepared to be hit, so Kanon had to change direction and practice something else—offensive defense is still a long way off, so why not try defensive defense with an offensive element?

Narumi Taiga's fists pounded relentlessly at Kanon. This red-clad kid was truly a monster; no matter how he hit him, it felt like hitting cotton—effortless, only exhausting himself. However, there was one advantage to this: he didn't have to worry about killing anyone—Red-clad kid, I, Narumi, won't stop! I'll show you the willpower of the Housen High School leader!

Narumi, who had been playing Kanon all along, suddenly let out a wail and stepped back, clutching his wrist. For some reason, his right wrist had been dislocated.

"You...you really do know sorcery!" Narumi gasped.

"It's not sorcery, just a slight advancement in technology."

Among the fighters of the Kengan Association, Jun Sekibayashi possesses the technique of defending while simultaneously disrupting the opponent's body. He utilizes his muscles to strike and counterattack the opponent while taking a hit, a product of the no-defense principle in professional wrestling.
