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

Hanon blinked: "Tch~ I could do that too~" As she spoke, she thrust out a "magic spear".

“You…” Kuroki was about to say “You are special” when he saw Kanon’s “Praise me” expression and couldn’t help but laugh. He thought to himself that the little girl had learned to be coquettish. So he changed his words and did not praise Kanon. Instead, he said, “In the past year, I have only taught Ichiro some basics. He figured out the specific techniques himself. His current style is probably a hybrid of the ‘Nakata Ichiro style’ and the ‘Strange Arm style’.”

"Uncle Kuroki...you can speak English too?" Kanon only noticed the word "Hybrid," which means "mixed race."

As the two were talking, it seemed that the conversation between the two men, Li Ren and Sikorsky, had also broken down, and the two were preparing to fight.

Hanon pointed at the battlefield: "Look, Sikorsky is starting to cheat. He's warming up, obviously trying to stall for time and let Rito, who's all sweaty, gradually freeze in this freezing weather."

That's certainly how it is now, but seeing Sikorski warming up, Rito also started moving, getting his body moving again, and sweating again.

"Hmm, although it will consume more energy, it's still effective." Kanon nodded: "Yeah, Rito is quite clever."

“Ichiro graduated from Imperial Capital University,” Kuroki blurted out.

"What?!" Hana exclaimed in surprise, "That guy is actually from Imperial University?"

Teito University is the University of Tokyo from Kanon's previous life. It's a top-ranked university in Japan and one of the top five in the world. It's the pride of Japan, and only the best students can get in. I never expected that Rito, who is obviously a bit of a goofball, would also be a graduate of that university!

Is this the legendary genius who surpasses others' two years of hard work after just two days of studying? Rito, my Superman, you are so powerful!

Well, Rihito is indeed very powerful. Even if it's not apparent from his mind, it's quite obvious from his physical abilities. In the end, he did engage Sikorsky in combat, and within just over ten seconds, he began to gain the upper hand.

Hanon, who was watching the battle, suddenly clapped and said, "Ah, it's here—using his own fingers to trap the opponent's fingers. It's a move that Tokita Ohma used to defeat Rito. Now he can use it on others."

It's hard to say whether Rito or Sikorsky has stronger finger strength, but Rito has long since surpassed the stage of relying on natural finger strength and brute force to win. When they exchange blows, Rito is methodical and quite skilled, and Sikorsky is no match for him.

Using only the finger-to-finger technique, Rito struck Sikorsky multiple times, leaving him teetering on the edge. Not to mention Rito's incredibly solid basic skills, which improved at lightning speed after following Kuroki!

“Next, we’ll see if Rito can handle Sikorsky’s ‘super-realistic combat’.” Kanon glanced at the battlefield: “What he can use… ice and snow and some spare parts from the warehouse.”

As expected, Sikorsky was beaten into a daze by Rito and could only resort to trickery, taking an ice pick from under the eaves of the warehouse and stabbing it at Rito.

Fighting against weapons... well, it's nothing special. Rito, who follows Kuroki, is no stranger to disarming opponents with his bare hands. He not only snatched the ice spike but also knocked Sikorsky down with a single punch.

“I’ve seen the report from the Russian prison,” Hua Yin said. “Sikorsky has not undergone any human modification, and he has no drugs or explosives on him. So if weapons can’t do anything to him, then the outcome of this battle is pretty much a foregone conclusion.”

“Ichiro is capable,” said Kuroki Gensai. “Although his opponent also possesses impressive finger strength, he relies solely on this talent and places his hopes for improvement on external aids, thus falling behind in the martial arts field. Compared to him, Ichiro is already a warrior on another level.”

Wow! You have a really high opinion of Rito!

After speaking, Kanon remained silent for a while. Only when Sikorsky was nearly completely defeated and Rito had begun his one-sided "torture" did she speak to Kuroki in a tone that was feigned calm but couldn't hide her excitement—

"Uncle Kuroki, I'd like to have another match with you."

Author's Note: There is only one Superman, and that is me, Li... That's right, it is I, Ye Hua... and I am none other than the old man, Kuroki Gensai!

Haha, please come early tomorrow!

Chapter 653, Section 660: Simple and Unadorned, Kanon Battles Kuroki Again

The five death row inmates were all, in general, ruthless and domineering criminals who killed without blinking an eye—this is indisputable. However, from a psychological perspective, each of them had subtle differences in their mindset.

Because of his high talent and strength, Spek was used to being unhindered and reckless from childhood to old age. Therefore, he regarded himself as a true god, even going so far as to beat up the Statue of Liberty and not allowing anyone to desecrate his power. So before he was defeated by Kanon, he saw another goddess who was even more precious than him.

Dorian, on the other hand, lived a life of loneliness and had a strong self-destructive tendency in his subconscious. He was like someone who "drank and sang wildly, wasting his days in vain, arrogant and domineering, just to fill the emptiness and loneliness in his heart. In reality, he never achieved true victory or enjoyed deep satisfaction and peace. So before he was defeated by Kanon, he finally looked at his own heart and then collapsed.

As for Sikorsky, he was younger and less experienced than the previous two, and therefore lacked depth. Hailing from Russia, like many people of a warrior nation, he was brave and fierce, with a tough temperament. Coupled with his innate finger strength and honed skills, he despised everything, simply enjoying the feeling of being strong. He became arrogant with each victory, seeing himself as a superman—so what did he see after being defeated by the rational person?

Nothing. Nothing at all. Sikorsky's eyes were blank. He couldn't see Rito, Kanon, or even himself. Everything he was so proud of—"the strongest," "unbeatable," "powerful," even "finger strength"—was completely overshadowed by the unknown Rito. Even with so-called "super-realistic" tools and underhanded tricks, he couldn't do anything to her.

Actually, Sikorsky was quite stupid. Kanon had also managed to shatter his pride, but it was only for a moment. Later, she locked Sikorsky in a secret room for several days, which was far beyond common sense and diluted Sikorsky's sense of defeat. It wasn't until Rito slowly but steadily crushed him completely that his confidence crumbled little by little. When Rito's final blow came and completely broke Sikorsky, he was already limp like a puppet, a soulless shell.

"Yay~ We won!" Rito was still the same as always, carefree and nonchalant. He was covered in sweat and had a few injuries, but overall, the victory was not difficult.

He waved towards the high slope: "Hey, Hana~ Master Kuroki~ I won! I won!"

But the high slope was empty; Hana and Kuroki were nowhere to be seen.

"Strange, where did they go..." The confused Li Ren handed Sikorsky over to Kare to be taken away. Before today, Sikorsky would return to the Siberian prison to continue his imprisonment until his execution.

Then Rito got dressed and walked up the hill to find Kuroki and Kanon.

In fact, the two of them hadn't gone far; they were sparring in a fairly spacious area behind the high slope.

When Rito arrived, Kanon and Kuroki had already been fighting for several minutes.

The two figures moved in unison, their hands and feet moving in tandem, their offense and defense shifting rapidly, fighting quite... well, boring.

"What's going on?" Rito's first reaction was bewilderment; he didn't know why Kanon and Kuroki were fighting.

After observing for a while, Rito understood the situation: "Oh, they're just sparring, neither of them is going all out." But he also had doubts: "It's really a simple and unpretentious battle... With their strength, it shouldn't be this uneventful."

After a while, Rito gradually got used to Kanon and Kuroki's rhythm, and became more and more alarmed as he watched. The hot sweat on his body dried, and the new flow was all cold sweat: "Ah... Simple? What was I thinking? This is clearly the highest level of battle!"

Hanon and Kuroki, as the world's top martial artists, possessed unparalleled precision, speed, and power in every movement—punching, kicking, and defending. When familiar and powerful individuals face each other, unorthodox tactics are rarely effective. Only solid fundamentals and careful counter-attacks are truly effective. Concepts like "first move against first move," "counter-attack first move," "no rhythm," and "thousand-faced goddess" are all integrated into normal moves. The two fought for a long time without even landing a single blow.

"These two and I, and the other martial artists... are no longer on the same level." Rito reluctantly admitted this fact. In fact, if he hadn't grown so much after training with Kuroki, he wouldn't even have been able to see this level: "Although it was just a regular sparring match, the technical level was higher than the final of the Deathmatch Tournament. Not only has Hanane grown a lot, but even Master Kuroki, at this age, has improved... Sigh, when will I be able to catch up with them!"

In that instant, the battle situation suddenly changed—Kuroki finally spotted Kanon's weakness, and with his right arm he pulled Kanon's left arm, causing Kanon to lose her balance temporarily. However, Kanon's technique for manipulating the flow of power was already very sophisticated, and with a quick pull, she also caused Kuroki to stray off course.

Kuroki had to expend energy to stabilize his body, while Kanon recovered even faster. Her right "Demon Spear" shot out like lightning, heading straight for Kuroki's chest. Today, this disciple would use the "Demon Spear" to kill the "Demon Spear" and blast her mentor to death with her fists! Ahhhhhh—no way!

Although Kuroki's body had not fully regained its balance, it did not prevent him from continuing to attack. As soon as Kanon's right arm slightly retreated to prepare for the "Demon Spear", Kuroki's "First of First" anticipated Kanon's next move. So, as he slid to the side, he raised his left leg and delivered a knee strike even faster than Kanon's "Demon Spear"!

"Bang!" In the end, Kuroki, being the faster one, struck Hanon with his knee first. The sudden pain and the enormous impact forced Hanon backward, and in that retreat, she immediately fell into a disadvantageous position, being relentlessly pursued by Kuroki. In her panic, all her defensive moves were broken by Kuroki until her defenses were wide open, leaving her with no way to escape...

The official "Magic Gun" has arrived.

"Ah! No!" It was Rito who cried out first. Kuroki's attack was aimed at Kanon's chest. Rito wasn't worried that Kuroki was being indecent, but that this attack would put Kanon's life in danger!

However, in a battle between masters, victory or defeat can be decided in the blink of an eye. Kuroki was forced by circumstances to do so. If he were to hold back against an opponent of equal skill, it would be no different from admitting defeat.

Kuroki's "demon spear" struck.

But Kuroki immediately noticed that the sensation was wrong—it wasn't the feeling of being struck solidly on the human body, nor was it the familiar "indestructible" feeling. Instead, it was a gentle press on the skin, soft and elastic, yet maintaining a subtle distance, preventing the force from reaching its full potential.

In a moment of confusion, Hana disappeared from Kuroki's sight.

"Hmm?" Kuroki had already witnessed Kanon's second acceleration during the exchange of blows, so even though he had lost track of Kanon's location, he was able to make a basic judgment—it was behind him!

Kuroki spun his body, tensing his muscles as he did so, his stance imposing, protecting his entire body. At the same time, he freed one arm to use as a form of offense, swiftly thrusting the "Demon Spear" behind him.

Sure enough, Kanon appeared there.

However, just as Kanon needs to pull back his arm to prepare for the "Demon Spear" when he launches it, Kuroki also has to make the same move. So this time he was a beat slower. Before the "Demon Spear" could be thrust out, Kanon had already raised his hand and used "Finger Razor" while moving behind Kuroki, hitting him.

"A furious roar—" What a long-awaited cry of pain! Kuroki Gensai's arm was slashed by Kanon, and blood splattered everywhere!

The combination of "Thunder" and "Illusory Transformation" represents the highest level of performance that Hanon has achieved so far. It is the culmination of her martial arts training over the past two years. Although the wound inflicted on Kuroki was not significant, it was a solid hit.

The two stopped moving at the same time, maintaining their final postures and looking at each other. This was not a life-or-death battle; in terms of a friendly spar, it could end here. Kuroki Gensai hit Kanon first, but after the round, Kanon actually gained a slight advantage, so it could be considered a draw.

Kanon has made significant progress. During the elimination rounds, she used "Valkyrie Mode," "No Beat," and "Thousand Faces," and even fought tooth and nail until the unexpected state of "Demon Exorcism" was added. Despite pushing her limits several times, she could only manage a 30/70 split against Kuroki, ultimately only securing victory because Kuroki refused to fight to the death and forfeited. Compared to then, Kanon can now easily fight Kuroki in her normal state, and once she activates "Valkyrie Mode," the odds might reverse to a 70/30 split against Kuroki.

Such achievements are enough to warm one's heart, even in the freezing cold!

Hanon was the first to drop her stance and said with a smile, "That's fine then~ I'm hungry. What do you eat in Alaska? Grilled salmon?"

Author's Note: This chapter is a bit late, but it's quite long. The sparring with Kuroki really boosted Kanon's confidence. She's definitely the gatekeeper of the "strongest" title now, and she feels qualified to challenge the peak... Of course, the situation in a battle is very complex. Different people in different fields and under different circumstances may have different results, which is the truth.

I'm hungry too, let's eat!

Section 661, Chapter 654: I Want to Be a Good Person

Hanon isn't an industrialist, but she deeply respects the greatness of modern technology and has always held martial arts and martial artists in high regard.

Throughout history, martial arts masters have been able to take care of themselves or even their families, but force is not omnipotent. It cannot determine the rise and fall of a nation, much less provide shelter for all the poor and needy. In fact, humanity has not completely escaped famine to this day, and the fact that most of the population can eat their fill is a result of the great development of productivity after World War II.

So don't underestimate technology! It's the brilliance of human civilization. In a low-martial-power world, things like traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening can only be accomplished through technology. It took Hanon three days to send Sikorsky to Alaska, but she took a private plane back to Japan and didn't even spend the night in the snow and ice. She returned to Tokyo that very night.

"Young Miss, you're back." At the airport, Butler Ito had already arranged for a driver to pick her up. Hanon got into the luxury car and prepared to return to the Yingfeng family. With nothing to do, she scrolled through her phone to see what everyone was saying in the group chat—this was another advantage of modern technology. People in the low-martial arts world didn't have "telepathy" or "telepathic communication," so they could only rely on technology to pool their wisdom and exchange ideas.

This discovery startled Hana. During the three days she escorted Sikorsky to Alaska, another death row inmate, Dorr, had become active.

Ever since attacking Oliva and escaping unscathed, perhaps emboldened, Dorr's behavior has become increasingly arrogant. He defeated Hao Angsheng, severely injuring him. Kanon saw the photos Hao Hongye sent in the group chat; it was truly a pitiful sight. Kanon had heard that Dorr was extremely insane. While other death row inmates relied on gadgets and underhanded tactics, he went straight for human modification, implanting retractable blades and controlled explosives inside his body… Emmm, Kanon thought Dorr was probably the type who would like Ina Musume.

However, there was no need to worry about Dorr anymore. He then encountered Retsukaioh and Katsumi Guji, both even stronger warriors, and was thoroughly thrashed by them. They even developed a bond during the fight, seemingly showing signs of reforming. Katsumi had just finished speaking in the group chat and was about to send Dorr away from Japan to the Middle East.

"...This works?" Hanon was speechless. If this were the case, wouldn't only Liu Longguang be left out of the five death row inmates? And Hanon had been keeping track of Liu Longguang's whereabouts all along. It seemed that it was time to end this so-called "war"!

Switching to satellite positioning, Hana looked around: "Huh? Liu Longguang is in Tokyo Bay now? Is Katsumi going to see Dor off there tonight?"

"Screech—" The luxury car driven by the Eagle Wind family suddenly slammed on the brakes, then turned around and sped away, heading straight for Tokyo Bay. The driver of the private car behind was so frightened that he quickly pulled over and gasped for breath: "Oh my goodness, if I had rear-ended a luxury car like that, the insurance probably wouldn't have been enough to cover the damages..."

Tokyo Bay is also a world-renowned port, with cruise ships and cargo ships coming and going day and night. In front of a cargo ship that is about to set sail, Katsumi and Dol are saying their goodbyes.

Keji had obvious burns on his face and had lost a large patch of hair, because Dol had blown up the headquarters of the Divine Heart Society the day before yesterday; while Dol's face was covered in bruises, the result of being punched unconscious every time he woke up after being captured by Keji these past two days. Keji had intended to use this method to force Dol to admit defeat and submit, but Dol's temper was as fierce as his strength, and he refused to surrender even at the cost of his life. Instead, Keji couldn't bear it and took the initiative to "admit defeat."

However, after these twists and turns, much like the seven captures of Meng Huo, the relationship between Dor and Kesi has progressed rapidly, developing into a friendship of mutual respect between heroes.

In addition, Dol was wearing an eye patch, which was the result of his encounter with Retsukai-oh three days ago. It was a complete defeat. Dol was beaten by Retsukai-oh, who had all kinds of martial arts skills, using various weapons in a variety of ways. His left eye was also pierced by a flying knife, and he lost his sight. Retsukai-oh finally had a good fight with one of the five death row prisoners, sweeping away the previous frustration. It was he who captured Dol and brought him back to the Divine Heart Society, which led to the scene of Dol burning Katsumi the next day.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Dole lit a cigarette. "I will arrive in the Middle East next week."

A powerful martial artist also has a powerful lung capacity. Especially the melancholy before parting made Dol quickly finish the cigarette between his fingers: "Katsumi, I have one last request... Can you teach me a move of karate?"

"Hmm?" Katsumi was slightly surprised. Dol was a master of fighting by relying on human modification and instinct, but he was not a martial artist who was well-versed in martial arts. Why would he make this request?

“…I want to maintain a connection with you.” With only one eye left, Dorr was surprisingly emotional at this moment. Before parting, this death row inmate was unexpectedly full of genuine feelings.

Keji was very moved, so he demonstrated a straight punch for Dor: "This is a straight punch, you have to practice it a hundred times every day."

"Ha, it's a deal." Dor tried to throw a straight punch. Because of his excellent foundation, he was very powerful even though he was a beginner. I'm afraid many people who have practiced karate for ten or eight years can't match him.
