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

"Hmm..." Zuo Madou's sudden attack didn't hurt Hanon. Wu Lei'an was just like that, so Hanon wasn't surprised at all. Driving the long-lost "Not Bad," taking a punch head-on with her face was actually quite satisfying... Hanon really isn't a hentai, even though she's a woman, she likes women...

*Ahem*, Kanon wasn't confused by her own thoughts, but she was genuinely stumped by Samato's question. What was her place in the Wu clan? Garuda's lover? Wu Yaksha's "son-in-law"? "Daughter-in-law"? "Gym buddy"? No, clearly none of those were quite right…

"Uh, international friend?" Hana answered tentatively.

This perfunctory answer only fueled Zuo Madou's ferocity: "You really are an abnormal guy!"

Zuo Madou whirled around instantly, his hand gripping Hana's face, then he was about to slam her head against the wall. His movements were incredibly fast; Hana only had time to raise her hand to grab Zuo Madou's arm—

"Huh? How come it's me..." The offense and defense were over in an instant. By the time Zuo Madou came to his senses, he was the one who had fallen to the ground. Although he didn't feel any pain, the sense of humiliation from this bewildering experience was overwhelming...

"XXX!" Shouting a curse, Zao Kuchima Tou leaped up and threw a punch, but this time his fist was intercepted by Kanon.

Hmm, this woman's power... is quite strong!

Zuo Madou's wrist was gripped, preventing him from moving forward at all. This was a very rare situation, especially since the other party was a woman... It seems that the little girl in front of him does indeed have some skills.

But so what?

"Very good, I'll consider you qualified..." Zuo Madou's voice became low, but an even more violent aura emanated from him. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the furniture in Teacher Wu's entryway seemed to vibrate slightly.

Zao Qiao Zuo Ma Dou's face began to contort into a ferocious expression, and the veins and blood vessels on his body began to bulge. He...

"Wait a minute," Hanon said, "Don't rush to untangle the furniture. What if you break it?"

The kind-hearted girl, Kanon, who cherishes her furniture, made a request: "Fighting is fine, but let's go outside and not cause trouble for others."

Zuo Madou was silent for a moment, then surprisingly agreed: "Okay."

...This person is surprisingly reasonable?

After all, Zuo Madou's personality is stronger than Wu Lei'an's! Moreover, Wu Huiliyang is the patriarch of the Wu clan. Even mortal enemies would have to give him some face, let alone a branch family of the Wu clan with no grudges against him. Zuo Madou does not have any particular hatred for the Wu clan. He came to challenge them on a whim tonight, not with a premeditated plan to wipe them out. So he is relatively easy to talk to.

The Wu family's house was a row of two-story houses, a typical feature of middle-class Japanese homes, as were those of Ayaka Kamiizumi, Hibiki Sakura, and Kazuo Yamashita. In such residential areas, although there was little space inside, there was a small, bare park not far away. Hanon, Samato, and the Wu family members strolled there leisurely, like a group of people taking a walk after dinner.

Everyone was walking way too slowly! A journey that normally takes seven minutes took Hanon ten, while Zakuro Samato started getting impatient from the third minute onwards. When they reached an empty open space in the park, Samato didn't even bother to get into a fighting stance and was about to charge in and start fighting: "Come on—huh?"

His charge was stopped by Hana raising her hand: "Wait a minute, I need to stretch and warm up."

"Damn it, if I had known you were going to dawdle like this, I would have just done it inside!" Zuo Madou was furious, but he had already agreed and come all the way here, so it didn't seem like one more minute would make a difference.

One minute? No, it's another five minutes.

Following the stretching method that Zhu Mei had explained to her when she first went to Mr. Shirogane's gym, Hanon did it all from beginning to end. While warming up, she said to Samato, "You didn't just eat, but I was just eating! My stomach is full, so it'll be hard to move around."

"Damn it, damn it, women are so annoying!" Zuo Madou was getting impatient, pacing around in circles. He had wanted to get "Liberation" when he was in Teacher Wu's entryway, but it had been almost twenty minutes, and he still hadn't gotten to play with Hua Yin... This feeling of frustration was something that Zuo Madou had rarely experienced in his nearly forty years of life.

"Um, Grandpa," Wu's younger brother tugged at Hui Liyang's sleeve and asked quietly, "The atmosphere was so awkward just now, didn't we all eat very little?"

"Hehe, this girl is still as cunning as ever." Wu Huili smiled knowingly and told her younger brother, "You should learn from her; this is what you call professional!"

Author's Note: Hmm, everyone, two updates today, the next chapter at 18 PM. Because I'm going back to work tomorrow, I need to save up tomorrow's drafts. I'll go to the company tomorrow; if things aren't suitable, I'll still resign. For the rest of this month, I'll still try to update four times a day. This book is almost a million words long—it's been quite a memorable journey… *cough* I'll save the sentimental stuff for later. Tomorrow's update times are 12 PM and 18 PM.

Chapter 455 Chapter 449: Huayin’s Art of War

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

This is the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, and a principle that military experts all over the world understand. Regardless of whether Zao Qiao Zuo Ma Dou noticed it, Hua Yin's operation against him had already begun when he stopped Wu Laoshi at his house.

He took a slow walk, warming up slowly. Now, Samato was already restless and his stance was erratic. The explosive power he had initially built up had almost dissipated. When Kanon signaled that he was ready, Samato rushed over with great joy. However, his excitement lasted only a fraction of a second before he was punched in the chin.

When Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion" focuses on rapid and precise strikes rather than impact force, it is absolutely a lightning-fast attack in the top tier of martial arts, and very few can cope with it. The completely unprepared Hayakawa Samato is not among them.

Seeing Zuo Madou suddenly dizzy and kneel down, Elder Huiliyang of the Wu clan couldn't help but chuckle: "Heh, this girl, she's still so calm and cunning even in battle."

"Grandpa, you want me to learn this?" Little Brother Wu didn't take it seriously and curled his lip: "This kind of cleverness is just the struggle of the weak. It's useless to the Wu clan."

Sure enough, just as Wu Xiaodi said that, Zaoqiao Zuomadou sprang up and launched another attack on Hanon. Despite being hit in the chin, his attack was no less fierce, truly possessing terrifying physical abilities, just like Wu Lei'an!

But before the old man could speak, Garuda couldn't help but retort, "What do you know! Flavo... no, Kanon is incredibly strong!"

Seemingly realizing that she had spoken favorably of her "lover," Garuda let out a soft "ya" and immediately fell silent. Seeing Garuda's attitude, Old Master Wu was reminded of his beloved great-granddaughter being kidnapped, and he became jealous, also falling silent... Finally, it was his biological mother, Wu Yacha, who explained to Wu Xiaodi, "Ye Huayin's complete victory over Wu Lei'an wasn't just due to tactics. Although I didn't witness it myself, her martial arts skills must have been outstanding."

"Martial arts..." Hearing his mother mention Wu Lei'an, Wu Xiaodi calmed down. Although Wu Lei'an belonged to a branch family and had a volatile temper, his 100% unleashing rate was unparalleled in the entire clan. He had never lost a fight since childhood. When Wu Xiaodi was still a snotty-nosed kid wearing open-crotch pants, Lei'an was already the number one expert among the younger generation of the Wu clan, and Wu Xiaodi's idol. Because Wu Lei'an looked down on the Wu clan's techniques and never used them, Wu Xiaodi hadn't really learned the family's martial arts over the years, essentially following a bad idol.

"Brother Lei'an would never be defeated by such petty tricks, so how strong is Ye Huayin's martial arts?"

Wu Xiaodi, observing intently, quickly noticed the power of the martial arts technique—Zao Kuchima's attacks were incredibly fierce, yet he was completely helpless against Hana. Every punch he threw was intercepted mid-air, and the force was redirected to Hana herself, causing her to be thrown to the ground or sent flying. After a minute or two, everyone only saw Zaoma being thrown around, while Hana remained standing still, not moving an inch!

Wu Xiaodi murmured, "This is... the power of martial arts?" This youngest member of the Wu clan began to feel a growing respect for technology.

The technique that Hanon displayed was something that Wu Yacha and his wife, as well as Wu Xiaodi, had never seen before, so they didn't have any particular feelings about it. However, in the eyes of Grandpa Eriyo and Garuda, Hanon at this moment was almost a completely different person from "Flavor Sander" in the Deadly Elimination Tournament a few months ago... not in terms of appearance, but in terms of the characteristics of her technique.

Grandpa Wu pondered, "Ye Huayin's technique has become very fluid, quite different from her previous agile and swift offense and defense. How has her control over power improved so much in just a few months? It's a completely different style from before..."

As for Garuda, she didn't speak, but hearing the old man's mutterings, she felt secretly pleased: "As expected of Kanon, she's such a genius... Ah, why am I siding with her again!"

Although the style has changed, it's hard to say whether Kanon's fighting style is better or worse than her past style. It's just that the visual effects are more distinctive, and her opponent is obviously more embarrassed... Sato Hashira, known as the "Emperor of Ferocity," has been strong and domineering all his life. When has he ever suffered such an injustice?

Believe it or not, I've actually experienced something similar. It happened ten years ago during the elimination rounds at the Six Truths Guild Hall...

"Hehehe, so it's Aikido..." After being thrown to the ground again, Samato did not continue his attack, but jumped away and let out a mocking laugh.

"Ten years ago, I faced a fool, I think his surname was Hatsumi, and his Aikido was so strong it was like sorcery. That guy, later I... *pfft*—" Before he could finish recalling, Samato was suddenly struck by a very heavy blow!

For the past two minutes, Kanon had been standing still, using only his skills to flip and throw Zuo Madou. Suddenly, he started moving and, while Zuo Madou was boasting about his glorious history, he punched him hard!

In their brief exchange, Hana quickly realized that Zuo Madou was incredibly fast, but not very strong—he was only about 1.8 meters tall and quite thin, and Hana figured his weight was probably similar to her own. As for Zuo Madou's moves, they were clearly based on Muay Thai; they were indeed powerful and fierce, but aside from that technical advantage, he was far inferior to Wu Lei'an overall.

But something's not right. Old Master Wu clearly knew of Zuo Madou's existence, and his expression was quite serious when he dealt with him. This means that Zuo Madou was not a weakling who could be easily dismissed. Now that he is performing so poorly, Huayin can only come up with one conclusion: as a distant relative of the Wu clan, the "liberation" state that almost occurred in the entrance hall must have been earth-shattering, giving him an epic-level boost. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Zuo Madou's arrogant attitude towards the head of the Wu clan.

If that's the case, why should Kanon just wait for Samato to finish his historical ramblings and then enter "liberation" mode, and then obediently have a fight with him? You have to understand that the two of them have been fighting all along. It's Samato's business if he wants to stop and show off, but Kanon has never said he agreed to it.

Kanon's strategy was to steal a win before Samato activated "Liberation" and try to weaken him.

The "Aikido" that she had been standing still earlier was actually Kanon's strategy. In this match, there was no principle of "only using to neutralize force". She could have used the combination of hard and soft techniques she used in the past. Kanon would have been even stronger in that way, but it would have also increased Samato's vigilance and made it impossible for him to be so easily injured as he is now.

Kanon's battle against Samato began early and lasted a long time; it was all part of a grand strategy.

The strike just now wasn't a core explosion, but rather the kind of punch Kanon mastered at the end of the "BIG" Grand Prix—perhaps it could be called a "supersonic punch"! The principle of this punch is to first relax the muscles, and then, in a very short time, the bones and muscles tighten layer by layer, transmitting the generated enormous force, similar to a whipping motion. Kanon's punch was a modified version, something she had recently honed at the Takakaze family's small dojo. It mobilized fewer muscles and bones during the power transmission, so the power was naturally weaker. The advantage was that it put very little strain on the body, preventing the situation where she would lose her arm after knocking down Kaoru Hanayama.

Although the power was reduced, this punch was not one that could be easily withstood. Zuo Madou was like a kite with a broken string, vomiting blood as he was thrown out, hitting the ground and bouncing up along the way, as if he were skipping stones.

Of course, Huayin didn't think that the top experts of the Wu clan would be easily defeated. She moved her wrist joints and beckoned to Zuo Madou with her finger: "Uncle, are you so fragile? Don't just lie there, get up and fight."

Author's Note: Looks like this chapter won't be finished until tomorrow... I'll go to the company tomorrow and check things out...

Section 456, Chapter 450: Hanon's Reliance, the Ferocious Emperor's Killing Move

"Truly, truly impressive." Garuda's brother sighed, "To provoke them like this..."

During the meal just now, this Sister Ye was clearly very gentle and polite. How come she became so aggressive and arrogant during the battle?

Ah, Kanon is a clever and calm martial artist; this is all strategy! Whether it's delaying her entry, shifting from stillness to a surprise attack, or now provoking her, Kanon does all this because it's effective!

"I...I...I'm going to kill you!" Sure enough, despite still spitting blood, Zuo Madou sprang up instantly and activated his "liberation"—of course, this state is "liberation" in the Wu clan, but for Zuo Madou it is his unique "killing mode"...no, it is a higher level, reaching the Wu clan's 100% liberation rate level, the "Asura mode"!

Watching Zuo Madou's muscles bulge violently, his bloodshot pupils, Hanon shrugged: "You really do have something to rely on, huh? How high is your liberation rate? Is it 100%? I'm so scared~"

"You! Die!" Zuo Madou was so angry that he couldn't say much more. Ever since his defeat in the semi-finals of the Six Truths Guild Tournament, Zuo Madou had done some martial arts training, including self-cultivation. But the current situation proved that... all that stuff was nonsense and had no effect at all!

Just like the Souryuin family has been muscle enthusiasts for generations, and the Shogun family has been briefs lovers for generations, the Wu family, whether the main family, branch family, or collateral branch, has always had guys with 100% liberating talent who are also idiots for generations.

Wu Lei'an was like that, and Zao Kuchimadou was similar, but Kanon, who stood in front of Zao Kuchimadou, was more experienced and stronger than when she faced Wu Lei'an.

When Zuo Madou launched another attack, his already superhuman speed was approaching the limits of human endurance, and his punches and kicks, which were not particularly heavy to begin with, became invincible due to the increase in muscle strength...

"Hmm, the increase in strength and speed is enormous. The so-called 'Killing Mode' is indeed at the level of 100% unleashing. 'Emperor of Ferocity' Zuo Ma Dou truly lives up to his name." Old Master Wu nodded: "Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved. Even distant relatives have produced such a talent. Remarkable!"

Since everyone in the Wu clan was going to be liberated, the onlookers naturally had a rough idea of ​​how strong Zuo Ma Dou was. Wu Xiaodi swallowed hard: "Such a strong guy, can Sister Ye handle him?"

The answer is yes, Kanon can.

After watching the attack and defense for about another minute, Grandpa Wu sighed, "She really has changed... she has become stronger."

“Yes, that’s true…” Garuda was also engrossed in watching and unconsciously started discussing with his great-grandfather: “When fighting against Raian, Kanon avoided fighting and dodged for a long time in the arena, but now she doesn’t need to back down at all. Normal parrying is enough to deal with Samato’s attacks.”

"Not only that." The old man's insight was indeed superior to Garuda's; he saw more clues and prompted, "Take another look."

"Grandpa, do you mean that Kanon can still launch intermittent counterattacks? And that her progress is even greater than I've seen?"

Indeed, Kanon was able to launch occasional counterattacks during the split, using either "Core Explosion" or a modified "Supersonic Punch." The heavy blows caused more bruises on Samato, causing his condition to deteriorate.

Kanon even tried using moves like "Finger Razor," "Demon Spear," or "Rakshasa Palm," as these moves, which could directly cause massive bleeding, were obviously more lethal. However, Zuo Madou was simply too fast, and Kanon couldn't catch him without activating "Valkyrie Mode." The upgraded version of "Hosen," which weakened his attack, didn't have time to counterattack, so the battle became rather lukewarm, and the advantage couldn't be quickly turned into a victory.

This situation made Hanon quite emotional: "The time was too short, and my various techniques are not yet proficient enough. I really need more practice... But I still won this match."

Her confidence stemmed from her formidable defensive capabilities, much like how Old Master Wu explained to Garuda: "The reason she can deflect attacks so easily is clearly because her defense has improved significantly. Her methods of manipulating power are still applicable in defense... Brilliant, extremely brilliant at deflecting force."

Although she was unaware of the existence of "force dissipation," the old man had indeed figured out what Hanon relied on. Facing Samato's attacks, she would parry if she could, dodge if she could, and if she really couldn't avoid it, she would calmly take the hit—after all, she had the two extreme defensive techniques of "indestructible" and "force dissipation," so what was so great about being able to unleash 100% of her power?

Just like with Wu Lei'an, the "liberation" of the Wu clan is extremely physically demanding. If they cannot finish the battle quickly, their physical strength and injuries will eventually wear them down. Moreover, Zao Qiaozuo Madou was severely injured before he even started "killing mode," so he will fall even faster than Lei'an.

In reality, Zuo Madou's punches and kicks were not as powerful as Wu Lei'an's. After all, their natural physical abilities were a whole order of magnitude different, and both were trained to be 100% unleashed. Ultimately, Wu Lei'an exerted more pressure on Hanon. Zuo Madou's advantage lay in his faster speed and better... technique!

Yes, technique! Never underestimate the importance of technique in combat! Wu Lei'an is a complete idiot, so he never properly used the techniques accumulated by the Wu clan over thousands of years. But Zao Qiao Zuo Ma Dou is different; he has mastered the techniques and doesn't mind using them to kill people at any time!

Zuo Ma Dou's technique is Muay Thai.

"You! Die!" Zuo Madou's attacks had failed to break through, and his own injuries were getting worse. In his anxiety, he kept a killing blow in mind. This guy was also very cunning. Although he was simple-minded, his decades of combat experience were not to be underestimated. Just as Huayin was getting used to his punches and kicks, Zuo Madou suddenly swung out an elbow strike.

Muay Thai elbow strikes are deadly, their power no less than a real blade, let alone a sudden attack under the full liberation of the Wu clan!

Zuo Madou's elbow strike slashed across, and Hana's blood splattered. This blow had indeed caused serious damage!

only……

The effect is limited.

Zuo Madou's attack was aimed at Hanon's neck, a vital area that could be fatal. However, the elbow strike only grazed the skin and did not penetrate Hanon's artery.
