"Just relax, try to relax as much as possible, I'll try again."

"Okay." Hana-on relaxed as instructed, and the lights in the room shone brightly again...

Author's Note: Sorry, I just finished writing this... The supernatural setting will have a short-term effect on advancing the plot, but in the long term... well, actually it's not that long, maybe until the end of June, it's just laying the groundwork for the ending.

Section 752, Chapter 744: Superpowers are Slimes!

Two bright flashes of light left little Mao completely bewildered: "What happened?"

Her original expectation was to use her superpowers to suppress Kanon and hear her beg for mercy and admit defeat, but instead she was greeted by a blindingly bright light. Could it be that she was too excited and lost control of her strength, causing the light bulb in the room to explode?

"Hehehe, it's nothing..." The light in the room softened, revealing Hanon's figure. She had already stood up from the ground, a confident expression on her face: "I just... eh, really nothing?"

The smile turned into astonishment, and Kanon was completely dumbfounded. Was this the possession state of Toyota Tadakatsu?

But nothing happened!

Hanon is still the same Hanon. Her physical abilities haven't improved, her thinking hasn't changed, and even her senses haven't become more acute. What happened to her supposed supernatural powers?

Kanon has absolutely no sense of Toyota Tadakatsu's presence, and isn't even sure if he's truly possessed her. By the way, how do she contact the ghost possessing her? Are there any experienced psychics who can offer some guidance? I'm waiting online, it's urgent.

Kanon could only try calling out in her heart, "Toyota, Toyota, are you there?"

"Miss Kanon, I'm here~"

Okay, this is definitely a possession state. The fact that Tadakatsu Toyota's voice appeared in Kanon's mind means that he was at least actually working.

"This is your possessed state? I didn't sense any changes at all!"

"Ah, this." Tadakatsu Toyota's voice still carried a hint of pride: "Thanks to Coach Machio and Ms. Kanon's help, I've been 'purified'! That evil spirit possession has been eliminated, so it won't interfere with your body or mind~"

"Hey! Then it's completely useless!" Hanon said, both amused and exasperated. "Does this mean I've dug my own grave?"

But in his mind, Tadakatsu Toyota called out, "Miss Kanon, Miss Kanon, you don't need to panic. Things are still changing. Look ahead."

Hanon looked directly at him as instructed, and right in front of her was Mao. Just then, the light that had possessed her dimmed—it was indeed different.

Hanon saw it: emanating a faint, bluish-white glow centered on Mao, gathering into an indescribable mass that rose and fell with Mao's breath...

As clever as Kanon was, she immediately realized: "I get it! So the superpower is slime!"

Emmm...

"So now I..." Kanon, having realized the "essence" of her superpower, quickly looked down at herself. Sure enough, her whole body was also glowing with a blue-white light. But unlike the "slime" that surrounded Mao's body, the light on Kanon's body was only a thin layer close to her skin.

"Is this you?" Kanon asked Toyota Tadakatsu in her mind. "Are you this layer of light?"

The answer was clear; it was obvious without even needing to answer that this change must have originated from Tadakatsu Toyota… However, surprisingly, Tadakatsu Toyota gave a negative answer: “No, Miss Kanon, I am inside you. This outer layer of light is actually your own soul~”

Hanon was startled: "My own soul? My soul left my body?"

"That's right. As the saying goes, 'The body is a vessel, and the soul is a vessel.' When I, an outsider soul, enter your body, I push your soul out! Ordinary people's souls either fit perfectly or don't fill the body. Only when an outsider soul invades will the soul overflow. Those exorcists use various methods to detect people possessed by ghosts. They are actually testing this layer of spiritual light. Also, some people's souls are particularly weak or particularly condensed. Their souls not only don't fill the body, but they can also accommodate new spirits. These people are particularly likely to become psychics."

...Okay, that adds up to some strange new knowledge.

Tadakatsu Toyota continued muttering, "This is a bit unexpected. I managed to squeeze out so many spirits after possessing someone, which means that Miss Kanon's original soul was already quite full. Based on past experience, when a martial artist's body is trained to its limit, although their mental strength is stronger than that of an ordinary person, it still can't keep up with the training of their body. They are in a state where their soul can't fill their body. Miss Kanon is truly outstanding! Both her soul and body are so strong... Speaking of which, mental strength is really important. People with strong mental strength have a higher chance of becoming ghosts after death, and they can do more things using their spirits. If the soul is strong, even as a ghost, one has more advantages! As for possession, when an evil spirit possesses someone, all the spirits rush to the brain to compete for control of the body. A kind ghost like me will obediently reside in the internal organs... Ah, Miss Kanon, you need to take care of your liver. Have you been working too hard lately?"

"Stop talking!" Kanon rolled her eyes. This Toyota Tadakatsu was too talkative. It was fine to listen to him normally, but now they were fighting against Mao!

The battle continued even though Kanon hadn't uttered her surrender aloud. Seeing that Kanon hadn't spoken after getting up, Mao couldn't hold back any longer and used his superpower to suppress her again.

Unlike before, this time Kanon could see Mao's "slime" rapidly extending... uh, tentacles? No, much larger than tentacles, it should be called a gigantic hand, slamming down heavily—this was the truth behind Mao's overpowering Kanon just now.

Hanon quickly dodged. This time, she was experienced and could see the attack range of the spirit. She used "Unbounded Transformation" to easily avoid the attack.

However, Mao's superpower was incredibly fast. The term "slime" only described the form of the superpower; in reality, it was far more agile and swift than a slime. The second wave of attacks instantly covered the entire house, pressing down once more, this time leaving Kanon with no way to avoid it.

"This is bad!" Hanon instinctively raised her hand to block, and with a "bang," the ground was subjected to tremendous pressure. The boxing ring, which had just collapsed, trembled and kicked up a pile of debris, but Hanon... did not fall down.

"Huh?" Hana was stunned.

"Huh?" Mao was also stunned.

The two stared at each other, both quite surprised.

"Toyota, what's going on? Do you know?" Kanon asked Toyota Tadakatsu in her mind, but Toyota didn't respond. Kanon asked several more times before he slowly uttered, "Miss Kanon, didn't you just tell me not to speak..."

Hey, this guy holds grudges!

After a bit of joking around, Toyota Tadakatsu still honestly explained to Kanon, "It's a contest of spiritual energy~ Although it's just a thin layer on the outside and can't be freely controlled, after I possessed her, Miss Kanon is also someone whose spiritual energy overflows. And because this layer of spiritual energy is gathered around her, its solidity is far stronger than that little girl's spiritual body. If we collide head-on, I can completely suppress her."

Therefore, Kanon has essentially obtained the same power as Mao, except that Kanon is a warrior, and her spiritual energy only affects herself, but she is strong in both offense and defense. Mao, on the other hand, is a mage, whose superpowers are not as durable, but she can perform micro-management...

"Hehe..." Huayin chuckled helplessly, "It feels like I've suddenly gone from a low-level martial arts world to a fantasy world."

Author's Note: There are some foreshadowing elements here, which are foreshadowing for the ending. Also, my mother is visiting Beijing today, and I have to pick her up from the airport, so updates tonight might be a bit inconsistent. I'll do my best.

Section 753, Chapter 745: Physical Exorcism, Evil Spirit Possession

Having traveled for so long and gradually become accustomed to this world, Kanon has now unexpectedly gained supernatural powers.

Although the spiritual energy "squeezed out" and attached to the surface of the body had no effect on movement or thought, everything seemed magical in comparison to Mao's earth-shattering superpowers.

"Heh, after living in comfort for so long, sometimes I even forget my own identity." Hanon smiled with her head down, and then, amidst Toyota Tadakatsu's repeated questions of "What identity?" in her mind, she launched "Unpredictable Transformation" and rushed towards Mao.

This competition has escalated to this point where it's a battle of titans; it's time to end it.

Mao raised her hand towards Kanon, and her superpower "Slime" swung its tentacles toward Kanon, but it had no effect after hitting Kanon's body. Kanon charged straight in, splitting the "Slime" in her wake, and rushed right up to Mao.

Since birth, aside from competing with Hina and Kyoko in superpowers, this was the first time Mao had encountered someone immune to her abilities. She was so frightened that her hands and feet went numb and she didn't have time to react. Besides, she couldn't keep up with Kanon's speed to begin with. In the blink of an eye, Kanon had touched her cheek again.

"Ah!" Mao was startled and agitated. He quickly retreated, rising higher as he went, and soon floated up.

"Ah, what's going on..." Hanon shook her head. With the help of the ghost Tadakatsu Toyota, she was now immune to superpowers, but superpowered people still had their advantages. At least... they could fly.

Not only can it fly, but the superpowered person can also move objects remotely, which is amazing. Hanon is immune to mental power, but not to physical damage. In her fear, Mao went a little berserk, and the room was like a hurricane. Various objects began to be grabbed by the tentacles of the "slime" and swirled in mid-air.

For a moment, all Hanon could hear in her mind was Tadakatsu Toyota's exclamation: "My God, is this little girl possessed by an evil spirit?"

The current scene does resemble a scene from a horror movie where someone is possessed by a demon or haunted in a haunted house. The light bulbs in the room are flickering, and all sorts of random things and girls are flying around in the air... There's no other way, so Kanon has to become an "exorcist" for once, the kind of physical exorcism.

Hanon took a step, stepping onto the nearest corner post of the boxing ring, using the momentum to lunge forward. Then, her second foot landed on a boxing glove floating in mid-air, propelling her even higher. In this way, Hanon struggled against the strong winds and debris in the room, slowly but surely charging towards Mao.

In the end, Mao used his superpowers to lift the boxing ring below, breaking it in half and sandwiching Kanon between them like a sandwich... Did it work? No.

Kanon's fighting skills are almost on par with Yujiro Hanma. And what level is Yujiro Hanma? He's known as a one-man army, a one-man nation. While that might be a bit of an exaggeration, it at least shows that ordinary physical methods have little effect on a master of this level.

"Crash—" The arena that had trapped Hanon was shattered by the enormous force. Hanon not only broke free, but also gained several more objects to use for leverage. This time, she lunged forward and came directly in front of Mao. She stretched out her arms and hugged Mao in her arms, and the two of them jumped down together.

In an instant, the wind stopped and everything fell silent. Huayin gently landed with Mao in her arms. Looking into her arms, she saw that Mao had lost consciousness, probably due to the shock and exhaustion.

From their initial rapid advance and the prince-and-princess-like "chin-touching" pose, to Kanon's princess carry of Mao, there was a sense of peaceful tranquility. However, this serenity lasted only a second, followed by the sight of something lifted into the air by Mao's superpower falling to the ground with a series of "%*#&%)(&…".

Wow, that's really loud... The passersby and boxers outside focused their attention again: "What's Xiaohuayin doing in there?"

"Phew, this is quite a scene. This is going to be difficult to handle."

Looking around, nothing was intact. Seeing the devastation inside the house, which resembled a field ravaged by a tornado, Hana stuck out her tongue and quickly grabbed Mao and ran out of the house.

Uehara Nana bumped into them: "Huh? Kanon, you're done? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Hanon was extremely embarrassed. She left with the words, "I'm sorry, I'll compensate for the damage to the house," and ran away.

Uehara Nana, puzzled, said, "Kanon is so strange. Why is she being so polite with me over such a small amount of mischief?" She then pushed open the door and entered the room Kanon had just left...

Well, everyone here is an old friend, and Kanon offered to compensate, so strangely no one blamed Kanon. However, from that day on, Kanon gained another nickname among the casual boxers at Uehara Boxing Gym: "Storm Destroyer".

Meanwhile, Kanon carried Mao back to Mr. Shirogane's gym, found an empty room, and placed her on the sofa, thus concluding their sparring session. Next came the farewell to Tadakatsu Toyota.

"Miss Hanon, I'm glad I could help~ I'll be backing out now."

"Hmm..." Hana was about to agree, but suddenly changed her mind: "Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Toyota Tadakatsu's spirit had already run halfway out, but upon hearing this, it stopped in mid-air. From a distance, it looked as if another clone had grown out of Kanon's body.

Hanon hesitated a bit: "Well, since it's just about experiencing what it feels like to be possessed, are you still able to complete the possession by the 'evil spirit'? I want to try."

“Wow, possession by an evil spirit…” Tadakatsu Toyota scratched his head: “It’s not that it’s impossible, but possession by an evil spirit directly takes over the spirit of the original person and seizes control of the body. I’m a ‘purified’ ghost. If I imitate those movements again, I don’t know what the consequences will be. Maybe there will be side effects like dizziness and nausea.”

"Does it make you dizzy and nauseous..." Hanon thought for a moment and decided to give it a try: "Compared to the injuries I would suffer during a fight, this is much less serious. It's worth experiencing a special feeling. After all, curiosity killed the cat."

Tadakatsu Toyota nodded: "Alright, since Miss Kanon has this plan, I will definitely cooperate fully!" After saying that, he burrowed back into Kanon's body.

A white light flashed again inside the room.

After the light faded, a ghostly figure stood there, its gaze cold, its expression indifferent, devoid of emotion, radiating a terrifying aura that kept strangers at bay. Even the unconscious little girl, Ma'ao, was startled and writhed uncomfortably in her unconscious state.

"Ah, where am I?" Startled awake, Mao slowly said, "Right, I just had a match with Miss Kanon, and I lost the third round... Where is Miss Kanon?"

Mao sat up and looked around curiously, but couldn't find Hanon. All she could see was a... Japanese samurai with a funny hairstyle?

"You are……"

"Huh? Miss Mao, you're awake! I am Tadakatsu Toyota, just a mere ghost samurai."

"What samurai? No, never mind that, where's Miss Kanon?"

"Well, haha..." Toyota Tadakatsu scratched his head, trying to evade the question, but in his mind he was thinking, "After I came out, Ms. Kanon slapped her forehead and ran out while shouting 'I know,' did the 'evil spirit possession' hurt her head?"

Author's Note: I can't take it anymore! Mom's here today and there's so much to do, my head is spinning, I can't write anymore, 555

We'll continue tomorrow. There's a lot going on at the end of this month, so I hope I can maintain the update frequency. I'll try my best.

Section 754, Chapter 746: Learning from Nature

Through the possession of Tadakatsu Toyota, Kanon found a way to train her mental strength, thus embarking on a Pokémon Shaman King journey to capture powerful ghosts around the world, and the legend of a new generation of superpowered girls begins... just kidding.

Tadakatsu Toyota was a purified ghost, so he could only imitate the way the "evil spirit" possessed him by relying on his past memories, rather than copying it completely. When he entered Kanon's body again, he only invaded a part of Kanon's mind, and Kanon's basic thinking ability was still intact.

It was a very peculiar state. Kanon thought this was the real possession by an evil spirit: "I see. This feeling... emotions are suppressed, there is almost no fluctuation in emotions, like looking at yourself from a third-person perspective. The mind is unusually calm, and everything around seems to slow down... Speaking of which, wasn't Kiryu Setsuna's 'Exorcism' a similar state? It really lived up to its name. The senior Niko-ryu who created this move must have had a lot of life experience."
