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

"The outcome...is already decided?"

Was it Baki's unconsciousness that resulted in a loss? Or was it Zur's sneak attack that violated the rules?

Section 535, Chapter 529: An overly casual arena is trash.

Baki lost? The arena champion was eliminated in the second round?

Ah, although the world of martial arts is cruel...

"Damn it! The referee hasn't even called 'start' yet!" The audience finally recovered from the fear of being dominated by Kanon. Zuru's surprise attack had insulted them. They hadn't come here to watch such immoral and despicable tactics!

Baki immediately sat up, and Zur's surprise attack only caught him off guard but failed to knock him out. This shows that Baki's strength is likely above Zur's, which made the audience even angrier.

"Replay the game! Replay the game! We don't accept that result!"

"Quiet...Quiet!" Tokugawa Mitsunari roared, stepping forward... Although the old man was rather disdainful and not very tall, in the underground arena of Tokyo Dome, he was the absolute ruler, possessing the highest authority for interpretation. His roar silenced the audience, who all listened intently to Tokugawa's judgment.

Tokugawa's eyes showed some hesitation, but he still stepped down from the stands, came to the sidelines, and, eye to eye, told Baki: "No matter what others say, I will declare you the loser in this battle."

The old man rarely scolded his beloved master: "Baki, have you lost your mind? For a fighter, every move, every action, is a battle. Once you enter the arena, you can't be careless. You, as the champion, were knocked down, and Zur doesn't understand the rules of the arena at all. For him, the moment he makes eye contact with his opponent is the signal that the match has started. My underground arena also acknowledges this... This match is not a performance or a sport. You were knocked down, and that's it. I'm very sorry."

Baki was stunned for a moment, but finally accepted Tokugawa's ruling. He bowed silently and was about to leave the arena. The audience was also filled with regret, and sighs echoed from the arena.

Suddenly someone walked up behind Tokugawa Mitsunari: "Hey, old man, I disagree with your opinion."

"Hmm?" Tokugawa hurriedly turned around and saw that it was Ye Huayin, who had just come off the field, leaning against the fence at the edge of the field and talking to him.

"Miss Ye doesn't agree?"

Tokugawa was a little surprised. He felt that his words were very much in line with the state of a martial arts master. It was the logic that many top experts recognized: the so-called martial arts required constant immersion in it.

Indeed, many martial artists say this. For example, in the 91 World Karate Championships, Brazil's Frio attacked Switzerland's Hawke after a timeout, causing his opponent to fall to the ground. The then-chief referee, Taiyama, ruled Frio the winner because "a martial artist must always be prepared to respond to an attack." However, Kanon is a "non-mainstream" martial artist. She is exceptionally talented, has a short training period, and, more importantly, has a wide range of interests—she's not the kind of martial arts fanatic who dedicates her entire life to martial arts. For her, there are many other beautiful things in life to enjoy, so she won't be constantly immersed in martial arts.

Therefore, Hanon's view was quite different: "If martial artists must always be vigilant, then why do we even need to fight in the arena? Why not just have a free-for-all in the lounge to determine the survivor? Or we could ambush them in the bathroom, or poison their food. After all, martial artists are supposed to be vigilant. It's expected that they won't get caught. If they do, it just means they're not skilled enough. Using knives and guns when necessary is fine too. The rules can be overturned at any time! Old man, setting rules and not following them will only make everything meaningless!"

Tokugawa was speechless at Kanon's words: "But Zilu relies entirely on wildness in his fighting style and doesn't understand the rules. If we just declare him a foul and lose like that..."

Hanon shook her head: "To put it another way, if we let Zilu start because he doesn't understand the rules, then we should also judge the ending according to his wildness. You didn't do the right thing then either~"

"To determine the end based on Zuru's wildness?" Tokugawa asked, puzzled. "What does that mean?"

Just as Kanon was about to answer, she saw Zur shake off the staff and rush toward Baki, who was walking out of the arena. So she pointed in that direction and said, "Look, since he's going to keep chasing his opponent until he's completely unable to get up, let's use that as the benchmark for the outcome of the match."

Zilu struck Baki, this time a sneak attack on the back of the head, causing great damage to Baki. Not satisfied, Zilu launched a series of heavy blows, and Baki's nosebleed, which had just stopped, started flowing again... However, this time he did not lose consciousness.

"Ah! He hit him!" The commentator suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Baki's back kick hit Zuru in the groin! This is terrible, he's probably got one of his balls broken."

After all, he's the champion of the fighting arena, so his fighting ability is guaranteed. With just one counterattack, it was Ziru's turn to lie down... Well, that part is where men feel the most pain.

"Ah, this is truly an unexpected result..." Tokugawa Mitsunari was stunned. He raised his hand, wanting to announce Baki's victory, but then hesitated, looking at Kanon with a gaze full of seeking advice.

Hanon scratched her head and told Tokugawa, "Well... it's still a long way from over."

"Still far?" Tokugawa was not a warrior after all, and his judgment was not as accurate as Kanon's. Sure enough, as soon as Kanon finished speaking, Ziru stood up again—he was still full of fighting spirit and energy!

"Hehe, it seems I really misjudged the situation." Tokugawa readily accepted advice and readily admitted his mistake, announcing to the entire audience: "This match is a special case, so let the two contestants decide the winner themselves! They will fight until one of them concedes defeat or is unable to continue."

"Oh, that's how it should be!" Although Tokugawa's unpredictable rule changes were annoying, the excitement of the match always made up for it. The audience was happy as long as there was a match to watch, especially since the match was indeed very intense, with Ziru and Baki attacking each other without going all out.

Now, these two powerful figures are truly getting into position and have officially entered the offensive and defensive phase.

Tokugawa Mitsunari was quite satisfied with the situation: "Miss Ye, I was wrong this time! Thank you so much for your suggestion... Eh, Miss Ye?"

Hanon was no longer at the fence behind him.

She gave Tokugawa advice for three reasons: first, she hadn't gone far after leaving the arena; second, it was for the sake of a warrior's code; and third, it was for her own sake—she didn't want to face Zur in the third round; that guy was wild and untamed, and might even lay a hand on her, which was disgusting enough! Besides, Kanon also realized that Baki was stronger, and fighting against a powerful opponent was Kanon's main reason for participating.

Now that everything was over, Hanon prepared to return to the rest room to await her next match.

But fate had other plans, and she ran into her rival, wrestling superstar Kanji Inugari, in the corridor.

"Miss Ye, your suggestion is very good," Inoharu complimented.

"It's nothing, just some personal opinion." Hanon was naturally very polite: "I hope we can play more politely in the next match~"

"Hmm..." Inogari seemed preoccupied, and his answer was perfunctory. It wasn't until Kanon took her leave and walked deeper into the area that Inogari showed a determined look, turned back and called out to her: "Miss Ye, please wait a moment!"

"Ok?"

"In the next match, could you... let me win?"

Section 536, Chapter 530: The Legend of Collapse

"Uncle Inugami, what are you saying?" Hanon was stunned. In all the duels they had gone through, this was the first time someone had asked her to go easy on them.

Inoharu's expression was also troubled and filled with melancholy, but since he had already spoken, he still expressed his feelings: "I have waited twenty years for the strongest glory, back when Miss Ye wasn't even born yet... The length of this wait, the suffering of the process..."

"Thump!" Ino-gari actually knelt down in front of Kanon!

A man doesn't easily shed tears, and a man's knees are worth their weight in gold. This scene was something Hana had never witnessed before in both of her lives.

"Miss Ye, after watching your performance, I know I am no match for you... but I have no time left!" Inoharu not only knelt down, but also kowtowed. He even cried out, "Waaah, Kanon, please, please let me win!"

"Ah...you...you're kidding me!" Hanon was clearly panicked. She really didn't know what to do. Should she really throw the match? She couldn't bear the loss of face, and she couldn't accept fixing the match morally. Besides, even if she gave Inugami a way out, was he supposed to beg all the way to win the championship? Did he still have any dignity as a martial artist?

But seeing Inugari pleading so desperately, Kanon couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh and hurriedly ran away—if this were a battle, it seems Kanon would have lost.

And there was Inugami crying and wailing behind him: "You're still young! You still have a future if you miss this opportunity, waaaaah..."

As Kanon ran further away, Inugari's mournful cries gradually weakened, until only a soft "ee-ee" groan remained, lingering in Kanon's heart.

This made Kanon's heart flutter...

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye?" When Hua Yin came out of her reverie, a staff member called out to her, "It's your turn to go on stage."

"Huh? Baki and Zururu's match..."

"It's over!"

Distracted by Ino-gari's actions, Kanon was so preoccupied that she didn't even notice the battle between Baki and Zururu. After Tokugawa Kanjo arbitrarily changed the rules several times, the battle eventually turned into a fierce, ruleless fight. Baki and Zururu each displayed their unique skills, delivering a truly intense clash. Despite being a wild and untamed warrior, Zururu fought with remarkable discipline towards the end, his offense and defense being incredibly well-executed. When he was finally subdued and forced to admit defeat by Baki, the entire arena cheered for both of them.

"The two warriors had a very touching match. Thank you, Baki! Thank you, Zururu!" The commentator built up the atmosphere at the right moment and began to announce the next match: "The next match will be a very rare one, and the only female warrior in this tournament, Ms. Hanane, against... Ah!"

The commentator noticed that Inogari had already stepped onto the ring, grabbed Baki's hand, and raised it up to receive cheers.

"It's InoKari! Heroes cherish heroes! InoKari suddenly appeared in the arena and offered his blessing to Baki! What a beautiful scene!"

"Ha, Pig Hunter really knows how to play the game." In the lounge, "Martial God" Yudi Dubu laughed heartily: "He has a smooth and clever way of doing things, and he's very deceptive."

Next to Doppo was Katsumi Guji, who scratched his cheek: "But I feel there's a kind of sadness in his eyes."

Keji is a genius; though frivolous, his observational skills are absolutely first-rate.

Kanon is also a genius with strong observation skills. Moreover, she had just been humbly begged by Inori, so she also sensed Inori's inner feelings.

But she was also helpless. Since she had encountered this situation, she might as well fight!

"Uncle Inugari..."

"Miss Ye..."

After the referee checked that the two men were not carrying weapons, he asked them to return to their original positions and prepare to begin. At this moment, Inugami Kanji's face had lost its smile, leaving only a deep sorrow that emanated from his very bones.

After witnessing Hanon fight ten opponents and kill the giant python, Ino-giri knew all too well that he was no match for her—ten warriors couldn't even last five seconds, and a giant python only lasted three seconds. Ino-giri knew that even if he had the strength of twenty warriors plus two pythons, he wouldn't last half a minute, let alone that strong!

"Hahhhhhh!" Inogari roared, slapping his face with both hands in a self-motivational act, which somehow boosted his fighting spirit. Fueled by this, he launched an attack on Kanon.

Faced with Ino-gari's attack, Kanon chose a safe defense.

"As expected of a veteran powerhouse, a wrestling superstar of his era, every move he makes is solid." Hanon secretly appraised Inogari's strength: "Because of his large size, his speed is not fast. His strength is not bad, but it is not to an invincible degree."

In short, the fact that Kanon can still comment so leisurely is proof of Inogari's strength...

"That's all, isn't it?" Ino-gari suddenly stopped his attack.

Just now, he launched a flurry of punches and kicks, but they were either dodged or blocked. Even when he managed to land two low sweeping kicks, the force was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever. It felt like kicking an iron plate, and the recoil made Inoharu's muscles ache.

Honestly, it was already a mercy from Kanon to let Inogari launch the first attack. She had many opportunities to counterattack, but she gave them all up.

"Thank you, Kanon. May I call you that?" Inugari's expression was a complex mix of gratitude, shame, anger, and other emotions. "My attack had no effect on you. On the contrary, I was exhausted and my legs were weak. I was the one who took the initiative!"

Inugari's eyes welled up with tears again, and this was all in front of the entire audience!

It's a disgrace, a complete disgrace.

But Inogari didn't care about the humiliation. He even openly said to Kanon, "Do you know what I'm going to say? I'm going to say, how can you bear to harm an old man like me who can't even finish an attack?"

"Enough!" Hua Yin interrupted him angrily, "Do you know what you're saying? A dignified man, even if he's not a martial artist, should he beg the enemy in such a humble manner?"

Hanon's tone was full of anger. Her earlier "pity for Ino-gari" had turned into "anger at his lack of ambition." She was ready to give Ino-gari a quick death.

"Ahhh, don't come any closer!" Seeing Hanon take a charging stance, Inugari Kanji knew that the other party was going to kill him with one blow! Thinking of the giant python's fate, a sense of crisis instantly gripped his heart. The once-transcendent wrestling superstar was actually defeated by fear!

Inogari turned and ran, rendering Kanon's "Cosmic Illusion" technique useless.

"Eh, this..." Kanon didn't expect Inugami's bottom line to have fallen to this level?

Helpless, Hanon had no choice but to run after him. As she ran, she felt the scene was so absurd!

The audience was also very dissatisfied, especially with Inogari: "What kind of behavior is this! How could Inogari be so cowardly?"

"Although Ye Hanon is strong, that's Inugari Kanji! A wrestling superstar! Is that all?"

"Lian Po is old, it's heartbreaking. Zhu Shou should really retire."

"Whoa—whoa—"

The two chased and fled until they reached the edge of the arena. After the boar finished hunting, it leaned against the fence, with nowhere left to retreat.

"Phew..." Hana finally managed to corner him: "Uncle, just accept your fate."

At this moment, Inugami Kanji was already trembling. The more he ran, the more intense his fear became, reaching its peak when Kanon rushed over and threw a punch.
