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

"Bang!" Dust billowed up, and the world seemed to stand still.

When the world started running again, people did not see the bloody scene of Doppo's brains splattering. Kanon's punch landed squarely on the ground next to Doppo's head.

Hanon wasn't lying; she's a non-killer.

"Uncle, what do you think victory and defeat mean?"

"Ok?"

“I don’t think victory or defeat is simply about defeating or suppressing someone, nor does it necessarily have to be a matter of life and death. As long as you can control your opponent and create a situation where you have the power of life and death, that’s enough. Like now, if I want to kill you, you can’t resist, and if I don’t want to kill you, I can choose not to. Isn’t that a perfect victory?”

Hanon straightened her legs, but still bent over: "Besides, life and death don't necessarily determine victory or defeat. For example, in battles that prove a spirit or will, martial artists face death without fear, and though they die, they live on. Death doesn't necessarily mean defeat." As she spoke, she reached out her hand to Doppo.

"Oh dear, I'm truly defeated by you." Yuji Doppo stared at "Hua Jin" for a while, finally let out a breath, and raised his hand to shake that friendly hand: "You are so young, yet your understanding of martial arts is already very profound."

"Wow, what touching martial spirit... Let's applaud these two warriors!" The commentator's description was accurate this time. Under his encouragement, the entire audience applauded Du Bu and Joaquin.

"Kane did a great job, no wonder she's my good niece." Takakaze Kirito crossed his arms, praising her highly. Not too far away, Zong Longshen looked completely bewildered: "Does this uncle know Joaquin? Why did I just hear him say 'niece'?"

"Dad...that's great." Katsumi Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over to greet Doppo.

"What? So that guy really is a good person..." Baki, who realized the situation was off halfway through his charge, looked a little embarrassed.

Instead, Joaquin, who brushed past him, said, "Baki, I look forward to fighting you."

"Ah, me too." Baki scratched his head. Although he had never liked Joaquin because Yujiro admired him, he couldn't bring himself to hit a smiling face. Joaquin was indeed a super strong fighter, so Baki had developed some respect for him. "Then let's agree to meet in the finals!"

Unexpectedly, Joaquin paused for a second before changing his mind: "Oh right, your next match is against... hehehe, I hope you lose your next match."

"Huh?" Baki was stunned. What's wrong with this guy? Can't he talk?

Cough cough, does that mean I should say, "I hope you beat me next round so we can have another round in the finals"?

After returning to the entrance passage, Kanon handed over Doppo to the members of the Shinshinkai to take him away to rest. The last two people Kanon encountered were Shibukawa Goki, who was about to go into battle, and Honbu Izo, who was cheering him on.

"You did very well." Shibukawa Takeki reached out and gave Joaquin a high five. "I look forward to our next fight. Let's have some more fun then!"

Joaquin nodded: "Yes, I'll definitely do it next time."

"How come these two seem to know each other?" Honbu Izo still didn't know that "Hua Jin" was Kanon. Seeing that Shibukawa Tsuyoshi and "Hua Jin" were so familiar, he was full of questions: "An old man and a young man, a Japanese man and a Chinese man, how did they end up together?"

"But Joaquin's words were great, victory is about life and death... So cool, I have to remember that line." The headquarters had already memorized the line in their mental notebook, and they might be able to use it in the future.

At that moment, Shibukawa took off his glasses and handed them to Joaquin: "Kid, keep them for me, I'll be right back~"

Unexpectedly, Joaquin returned the glasses, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work; I have other things to do."

"Heh, you don't even want to watch my match anymore? I was watching your fight very closely just now~" Old Master Shibukawa asked curiously, "What important thing could you possibly have to do at this time?"

"It's nothing special," Hanon waved and walked backstage. "Just going to shake hands."

Passing by the common lounge, there weren't many people left. Kaoru Hanayama was already sitting up, but Chiharu Shiba wasn't there.

After walking a while longer, we passed the infirmary again. Several bikers dressed in special attack uniforms were pacing anxiously outside, not daring to make a sound. Peeking inside, we saw that Chai Qianchun was being examined by a doctor.

Finally, Kanon arrived at a lounge where a giant man was sitting with his eyes closed, resting.

That's not the case, he wore... (image)

"Knock knock," Huayin knocked on the already open door, causing the giant to open his eyes.

"You are Alexander Carey?"

Author's Note: There will be another chapter later.

Section 552, Chapter 546: The Magic of Center of Gravity

"That's me." The giant stared at the punk-style teenager in front of him: "You... your name is Joaquin, right? A gangster from China, shouldn't you be competing?"

"They've already won." Hanon glanced around. There was a TV screen in Kare's room, but he had turned it off. So this guy claimed to be fighting in place of Shiba Chiharu, but he didn't care at all about his potential opponent?

What an arrogant fellow.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Um, shall we shake hands?"

Hanon extended her hand to Kare with a smile, but her smile looked more like a cry due to her flamboyant hairstyle.

"A handshake..." Kare's eyes held a hint of doubt: "Why did you come all this way just to shake hands?"

"Uh, so you're treating me like your fan?"

"Fine." Kare nonchalantly raised his arm and grasped Hanon's hand. "After all, our motherland is like an older brother and a younger brother, so I'll just... um?"

Karei's hands were enormous. Although he had been sitting and his exact height and weight were unknown, his massive palms almost completely enveloped Kanon's. Looking at those enormous hands, Kanon couldn't help but think that if Karei had the grip strength of Kaoru Hanayama, she might have suffered a great loss if she had offered her hand.

In reality, Karei's grip strength was not quite as good as Hanayama's, but it was not far off. However, when Hana thought of Hanayama, her blood boiled. Did she really come here just to shake hands? Wasn't she just trying to stand up for her friend Hanayama?

To Carre's astonishment, the chair he was sitting on suddenly broke, and the great giant sat down hard on the ground, even shaking the floor tiles and cracking them.

"What are you doing!" In shock and anger, Kare tried to stand up, but found that he couldn't control his center of gravity and his body kept tilting to the side. As soon as he stood up, he fell down again and knocked over a bunch of tables and chairs.

"Ah, Eastern sorcery..." Kare was almost questioning his life. The boy opposite him was so thin and weak, yet he had made him suffer two hidden losses in a row. He was like a monster that he had only heard of in stories.

But this giant was very clever. After falling to the ground a second time, he did not rush to get up. Instead, he lay on the ground recalling the situation and thinking about how to break the deadlock.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't stand up, Joaquin can't knock him down again.

The room was quiet. Kanon was holding Karei's hand, while Karei lay on the floor. The scene was a little awkward. Kanon tried to pull her hand away, but found that she couldn't.

"As expected, that immense grip strength is the most troublesome..."

Kare quickly found a way to break Joaquin's peculiar handshake: the two men were obviously different in size, and Kare's grip strength was naturally far superior. So why not just crush the other man's hand instead of letting him use "center of gravity magic" to disrupt his balance?

As she felt the pressure on her palm increasing, Hanon knew that this advantage had passed, and she had already considered how to deal with this situation before she decided to shake hands.

The answer is... the other hand.

Humans have two hands. One hand can be a grasp, and two hands can also be a grasp. Kanon covered it with her other hand, instantly reversing the situation. Although Kare was already lying down and wouldn't fall again, the transmission of force doesn't necessarily have to be directed to the entire torso. Look at how big Kare is; there are many places where force can be transmitted just from one arm!

"Snap!" Kare's elbow dislocated.

"You're asking for it!" Kare roared, reaching out with his other arm to grab Joaquin's neck.

Hanon hurriedly reached out to push, but couldn't budge him. Kare's immense strength slammed into Hanon's arm and gripped her neck.

Joaquin's neck was slender and soft, and even a little smooth, just like a swan's. Such a slender neck usually only appears on women, but Kare didn't think about that question—just kidding, how could the guy who could knock him, Alexander Kare, down twice be a woman?

Feeling confident that he had the situation under control, Kare shouted, "Why did you attack me?"

“I already said, it was just a fan’s greeting to their idol.” Although his neck was already choked and his life was in the other’s hands, “Joaquin”’s tone showed no fear. Instead, he mocked Kare: “I’m telling you, Uncle Kare, this won’t do.”

"no?"

"I thought you would snap my neck immediately, so I was all prepared, but you stopped talking and made me stop abruptly, which hurt a lot... cough cough." With her trachea being pressed, Hana's face turned red as she spoke: "It's really uncomfortable to have my neck choked, I'm outta here."

"Huh? Huh!" Kare was puzzled when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm, especially in his fingers where the nerves felt like they had been pierced by a sharp object. The pain was both sore and numb, making it impossible for him to exert any grip strength, and he released Joaquin.

"Sorcery!" Faced with this incomprehensible situation, Kare wanted nothing more than to get away as quickly as possible. He swung his other arm, which was dislocated and being held by "Joaquin," and flung "Joaquin" away.

Hanon landed steadily: "This can't be considered sorcery, can it..."

Her voice trailed off. Just now, she had manipulated the muscles in her neck to form "fine needles" to prick the acupoints on Karei's palm—something no ordinary human could do. This move had now become Kanon's most powerful weapon against grabs.

Speaking of grabbing, Kare had already stood up and had his arm reattached by this point...

"He really is a strong man..." Kanon had to tilt her head back very high to see Karei's face clearly: "May I ask Mr. Karei's height and weight?"

Carre's face darkened, and he didn't answer. It wasn't his fault; from his perspective, "Joaquin" had suddenly run over and tripped him twice, behaving like a madman. Of course, he didn't want to pay attention to such a person.

However, when Karei went to the lounge to hit Shiba Chiharu and then throw Hanayama Kaoru, it was not normal behavior for him either. Kanon was just retaliating in kind.

"Enough! Tonight's tournament is full of you filthy warriors." Kare exhaled slowly, his dislocated elbow still throbbing with pain. "Beasts tearing each other apart with their teeth, gangsters trying to show off, overly frail old men, and inexplicable brats... I will defeat you all! Only the great Russia is the strongest in the world!"

"The strongest in the world?" Hanon picked at her ear. "I know a lot of people stronger than you, and none of them claim to be the strongest in the world. And isn't there a 'strongest creature in the world' here tonight? I've never heard of him being Russian..."

"Besides, if you can't even beat me, isn't it a bit ridiculous to call yourself the strongest?" With a beckoning finger to Kare, Kanon's provocation was a sigh: "Ignorance and weakness are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is."

Before he could finish speaking, the enraged Kare had already grabbed Kanon's shoulder.

Author's Note: That's all for today's update. More tomorrow! Tomorrow's the day is Baki vs. Kanon!

Section 553, Chapter 547: Goodbye!

Karei grabbed Hanon and was about to lift her up.

However, given Kanon's level of power control, it could actually be said that Kanon captured Kalecgos.

Halfway up Kanon, Kare's knees buckled, but the giant was truly formidable. He bent over, forming a bridge-like position, using his head to support his balance, and threw Kanon far away.

"Not bad." Hanon praised as she landed lightly on the ground. Karei's throw was no match for her, who had mastered the art of neutralizing force.

However, Kare is not entirely without threat to Kanon. Kanon is also assessing the situation: "Although it is a large monster, it is different from Julius. Kare has been using wrestling techniques and its attacks are mainly based on grappling. Coupled with its terrifying strength, it is the type that I am not good at dealing with... If I unlock 'Finger Razor' or 'Blow Away', it should be easier. For now, I can only use vital strikes."

It's easier said than done. The human body has only a few vital points, and it's not difficult for Kare to protect them. The rest of his body is protected by powerful muscles, and it would probably take a long time to wear them down little by little.

Of course, Kare was also quite helpless against Kanon. Joaquin's attack methods were limited, and Kare's were no less so. Wrestling techniques were plentiful, but Kare... was just an amateur. He relied on brute force to overwhelm his opponents, using his superhuman physical attributes to crush them. The same would apply to other fighting styles. On the surface, he might seem like an undefeated general, but in reality, he didn't have any in-depth techniques. Instead, he had been digging huge pits in Siberia for many years, and his hard-working skills had become incredibly proficient.

Throwing has proven useless; if you keep holding onto Joaquin, not to mention that the "center of gravity magic" will mess up your balance, the inexplicable "muscle thrust" alone is very troublesome.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, both thinking and not making a move. In the end, the proud Kare couldn't hold back and strode forward, ready to make his move.

His choice was simple—since grappling and throws were useless, he would use the simplest method, his fists, to defeat his enemy!

Seeing Kare swing her fist at her, Kanon finally made up her mind...

She stopped fighting.

Is Kalecgos left with only striking techniques? Those are the ones that Crowd Control is best at dealing with; they're not challenging at all.

Kanon is indeed here to cause trouble, but not to take down Kare. Taking him down is something Jack Hanma should be considering. She still has to fight Hanma Baki and Shibukawa Goki. If Kare is really strong, it's not too late to fight him when he defeats Jack and advances to the semifinals.

Besides, looking at the mess in the room, with tables and chairs broken all over the floor, and Kare already being thrown over twice and having his elbow dislocated, isn't that enough to get revenge for Huashan?
