Even Pike didn't know the truth; the only one who understood was Kanon. After witnessing Pike's numerous battles with others, Kanon naturally understood that she couldn't possibly defeat a primitive man in a direct confrontation. That's why she deliberately engaged Pike in battle to unleash her "Air Path," hoping to knock Pike unconscious with air containing what she claimed to be six percent oxygen.

So viewers were curious about Pike's condition in the sandstorm, and so was Kanon.

"I paid the price of internal injury to hit this move, Pika, you must be alright..." Hana murmured softly, but did not dare to get too close to the dust and mist. Instead, she took two steps back and waited for the sand to settle.

The arena quickly returned to calm. The sand settled, revealing Pike's figure. People gasped and murmured in unison from the stands. Hana sighed, because Pike was clearly standing and had not been knocked down by the "empty path".

This confirms that the oxygen content in ancient times was different from that in the modern world. Six percent oxygen content is enough for modern humans, but it is useless for Pico. His lungs can obviously adapt to a wider range of environments.

However, Pico wasn't entirely beyond the realm of humanity. After taking a breath of the specially supplied oxygen, this ancient warrior felt quite dizzy, otherwise he wouldn't have collapsed to the ground just now.

Pi Ke shook his head fiercely, his gaze towards Hua Yin growing increasingly fierce, yet tinged with hesitation and fear. This fragrant female had brought him so much pain; just what was she? Did she have any more tricks up her sleeve?

Driven by this emotion, Piccolo launched another attack, but instead of charging forward, he simply threw punches and kicks, even shifting his weight backward when he struck, leaving himself room to maneuver.

"His movements have slowed down." Retsu Kaioh, who had fought against Pike after his "second transformation," immediately noticed the difference: "Ye Haihuang's attack has made him hesitant. This must be what our predecessors meant by 'to strike once to avoid a hundred blows'!"

The situation was indeed not bad. Seeing Pike's hesitant attack, Hanon couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "'Airway' is not entirely ineffective. If Pike stood still and let me try a few more times, I might be able to find the optimal oxygen content and kill him in one blow, but that is obviously impossible. Well, the first method of hunting primitive people was not a great success, but it was still somewhat successful. Now it's time to try the second method."

Easily dodging Pike's attack, Kanon circled behind him. Pike reacted very quickly, immediately turning around with Kanon...

Having just lost sight of Kanon, Pi turned around and activated all his senses to the maximum. He easily noticed that Kanon's right leg and right hand were about to rise, accompanied by a surge of murderous intent.

What's going on here?

Stimulated by the murderous aura, Pike immediately recalled unpleasant memories. Was his raised right leg about to kick that man's private parts again? Was his raised right hand about to slap him in the face again?

Pain is not what I want, nor is dizziness, but... who says I have to choose one of the two? I don't want either of them!

Seeing that Pi Ke had covered his face with one hand and his crotch with the other, protecting his two "sad spots," Hua Yin's smile widened even more: "Don't worry, I won't use the same trick."

She lifted her right leg and landed, only taking a step forward; her right hand rose high, but it was ultimately a feint. Hanon's real attack followed with a straight punch from her left hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Pike's hands were covering his upper and lower body, leaving his center wide open, this punch went straight in and slammed into Pike's chest.

The audience saw Hanon raise her left arm, but they didn't see Hanon's fist. The point where the two made direct contact was just a blurry image and a few ripples in the air.

Pico flew out, and only a fraction of a second later did a loud "rumble" sound come from behind—the audio and video were out of sync...

"Supersonic Fist!" Katsumi exclaimed and stood up. Many disciples from the Shinshinkai also stood up, including some people in the stands who knew about the fight between Katsumi and Pike.

The "Supersonic Fist" is indeed a very powerful move, but its side effects are equally obvious. Katsumi's hand is still wrapped in thick bandages and a cast, and it's said he'll need nearly six months to recover. This is only because Kanon intervened in time, using water to alleviate the side effects!

Moreover, while Katsumi's "Supersonic Fist" dealt significant damage, it ultimately failed to defeat Pikachu. At that time, Pikachu hadn't yet activated her "Second Transformation," and Katsumi himself was actually more seriously injured. Now, Kanon has used this move again, so what will happen...?

Pike's massive body was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground. The "Supersonic Punch" attack clearly made him extremely uncomfortable, and it took him three to five seconds to stand up again.

Well, Pike has finally gotten back on his feet.

"'Supersonic Punch' is useless..." People shook their heads regretfully. Pike's defense was too high, especially after he transformed. His defense was even stronger than in his normal state. Kanon's "Supersonic Punch" seemed to be less effective than Katsumi's.

But when people's gazes turned to Hanon, they were all shocked: "Huh? Her hand... is alright?"

The sonic boom tore through Hanon's sleeve, revealing a section of her snow-white arm. But because it was so smooth and exposed to the world, people could clearly see that her fair skin was crystal clear, without even a bruise, let alone a bloody mess.

While Kanon's "Supersonic Punch" failed to knock down Pike, she herself was unharmed.

Author's Note: There will be another chapter in a bit. It seems like four chapters today is still a bit of a stretch...

Section 777, Chapter 768: Excellent Wrestler Kanon

The arena was filled with gasps of amazement tonight, but then again, isn't it the same every night here?

"It's just basic operation, no need to be too surprised." Hanon's expression was normal, not at all proud of her unharmed performance of "Supersonic Fist". She even took the time to wave to the audience, especially the large group of Shinshin-kai members who were standing up, indicating that everyone should sit down.

The disciples of the Shinshinkai were not very aware that the "Supersonic Fist" was actually a move that Kanon taught to Katsumi Guji. Kanon had already developed this move during the "BIG" Grand Prix. Later, during that martial arts tournament, Kanon mastered a weakened version of the "Supersonic Fist," achieving a balance between power and self-protection.

Since learning how to reduce the side effects of her "Supersonic Punch" by observing pistol shrimp in Tadakatsu Toyota's "demon-slaying" state, Kanon has undergone a series of special training sessions. She couldn't replicate the pistol shrimp's exoskeleton, but the body's aerodynamic structure and the cushioning effect of water flow were very inspiring. By shaping her punching muscles, Kanon's "Supersonic Punch" gained several subtle muscle bulges, and when withdrawing, the muscles moved slowly, mimicking the ebb and flow of water. With these changes, the burden she could withstand when performing the "Supersonic Punch" was greatly increased. Although it was still a weakened version, it was almost as powerful as the ultimate version that Katsumi Guji had almost ruined his martial arts career with.

Despite the punch, Pike didn't vomit blood—it seems no one has ever made him vomit blood before! But the fact that he was drooling uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth shows that Kanon's attack wasn't ineffective.

“If I keep using this ‘supersonic punch’, I might be able to deplete Piko’s health bar and win before my stamina runs out or my muscles can’t take the strain…” Hanon shook her arm: “But I don’t want to do that.”

If the new "Supersonic Fist" could truly be used without limit, then Kanon would be the undisputed number one in the world. Neither Pike, Yujiro Hanma, nor the legendary, aging, and essentially retired "strongest man of the yellow race," Katsuya Tatsuyoshi, could withstand such a powerful attack indefinitely. However, it wasn't as safe and harmless as it seemed. Kanon's arm was hot, and her skin was a little sore. She wasn't a pushover after all; if she continued, she would eventually give out. This move was fine as an occasional heavy attack, but using it as a regular weapon was somewhat of a stretch.

"Forget it, I have other options anyway, why put all my eggs in one basket?"

With renewed energy, Hanon leaped up once more, casually abandoning an effective attack. There was a third method they could try for the experiment of hunting primitive humans!

Meanwhile, some spectators in the stands gained new insights into the fight. For example, Jun Sekibayashi, who is known for his Japanese wrestling, did not have a performance scheduled for tonight. Instead, he came to cheer on Kanon with his disciple Haruo Kono, his senior Kyogo Kurachi, and his junior Kanzaki Hose. Also sitting with them were Kengankai friends such as Kosuke Imai, Ryo Inaba, and Gozo Murobuchi.

"Hahahaha..." Uncle Guan Lin laughed heartily: "Little Huayin, you're really something!"

Kono Haruo, standing to the side, was completely bewildered: "Ah, Miss Kanon is indeed very strong, but why are you so excited, Master?"

Before Guan Lin could answer, the caring former "God of Wrestling," Zangdi Quwu, patiently explained: "Since the start of the fight, Primitive Man Pike has been thrown to the ground, struck in vital areas, and sent flying by heavy punches, but he hasn't coughed up blood, only drooled a little. Miss Ye is also unharmed; she only coughed up blood and suffered minor internal injuries after Pike's lightning-fast charge. In terms of actual results, the two are evenly matched, with no clear advantage. However, from the perspective of the spectacle, Miss Ye is full of energy and shows no sign of backing down, while Pike struggles several times, displaying a fierce yet somewhat fearful demeanor. The feelings they convey to the audience are completely different… Miss Ye is a master at heating up the atmosphere!"

Guan Linchun couldn't agree more. He gave both thumbs up, wishing he could give Hanon a thousand thumbs up: "Wow, little Hanon, you're a top-notch wrestler!"

The three of them, young, middle-aged, and old, were chatting animatedly, while Hosei Kanzaki, who had come with them, was much calmer. Unlike Sekirin and Haruo, he wasn't a fighter from the Kengan Association, but rather an A-rank fighter from another large underground fighting organization called "Purgatory." He had long heard of Kanon but never seen her in person; tonight was the first time he had caught her alive: "So that's Kanon, huh? Just as the rumors say, beautiful and powerful... but in terms of cuteness, she still can't compare to my Ai-chan~"

Ahem, while Hoze Kanzaki is mostly a decent person with normal values, when it comes to idol worship, he's the ultimate die-hard fan of Sakaguchi Ai, his gym buddy from Kanon's...

In the arena over there, Pike and Kanon have resumed their battle.

Struck by the "supersonic punch," Pike's internal organs were impacted. Although he didn't cough up blood, he was actually in great pain. After a few seconds of recovery and a few more seconds of self-encouragement, Pike regained his primal ferocity and pounced on Hanon.

This fragrant female has caused herself too much harm, but Pi is not someone who is afraid of being hurt. In ancient times, he was even swallowed and torn apart by a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is inherent in living beings. After being repeatedly struck by Kanon in unexpected ways, Pico was naturally somewhat confused and even considered running away. However, once he mentally prepared himself and decided to disregard injury and pay any price to completely defeat the enemy before him, the energy he unleashed was astonishing.

Fierce, extremely fierce. Pike's attacks were unpredictable, simply a display of speed and strength. Sometimes it was a pounce, sometimes a slam, sometimes a barrage of punches and kicks, along with biting, nail-slicing, and bone-on-bone strikes... All of this was pushed to the limit by his superhuman physical abilities, making it difficult even for Kanon to completely dodge.

More blood droplets appeared in the air, and as she dodged and parried, some wounds appeared on Hanon's body.

But Hanon remained calm and didn't rush to retaliate. Even now, she was only testing the waters: "Pico's second stage is indeed quite powerful. It's just brute force that can overcome any technique. I'm at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation... In this situation, it's not impossible to retaliate, but Pico's defense is too high. Even if I use 'Blow Away,' it's about the same as 'Supersonic Punch,' and I won't see any effect after a couple of hits. As for other attacks, they're even less effective... Heh, this is to be expected."

Hanon's third plan to deal with Pikachu is not a striking technique, or rather, it is not a simple striking technique.

"Whoosh—" Just as Pico was about to pounce on Hana, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew into his ear.

Author's Note: Three chapters today, aiming for four tomorrow. Also, the battle with Pike will end tomorrow.

Section 778, Chapter 769: The Battle Between Expectations and Unexpected Events

The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is a biological instinct. Hearing the wind of a punch coming towards the back of his head, Pi Ke subconsciously lowered his head to avoid it.

But when he looked down, he found that it was Hana's hands in front of him.

Huh? If the female's hands are here, then what's behind her...?

Without a second thought, Hanon grabbed Pike's head with both hands and delivered a knee strike—"Bang!" Even the thick-skinned Pike was stunned by the blow and fell backward.

"Anyone else would have fallen after that kind of blow, you're really something, Pikachu!" Hanon cheered, but then said, "That's just right."

"Thump, thump thump thump, thump." Six muffled thuds echoed through the arena, representing Hana's six-hit combo. The disciples of the Divine Heart Society in the stands couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "Miss Ye is amazing! Our young master's signature move is only a four-hit combo along the center line, but she can easily execute six!"

This is a bit surprising. Kanon, with her near-superpower-like talent, has diligently trained for over two years, experiencing countless battles and sparring with many masters to reach her current level. With her current skill, she's qualified to represent the pinnacle of human combat ability. Many deadly techniques that others hone their entire lives are merely everyday attacks for her, and she can even execute them better. See, seeing Kanon casually unleash a six-hit combo along the center line, the more knowledgeable and powerful leader of the Shinshinkai, Katsumi Guji, remained silent, taking it all for granted.

But the Pike that Kanon is facing now is no ordinary person either. The so-called six-hit combo along the center line only added a little speed to his already backward momentum. Pike's center of gravity remained stable, and his muscles were as solid as ever. He was not broken through at all!

Kanon understands this too.

Her six-hit combo ended with a palm strike, her hand curving into a peculiar arc – this was the "empty path." Pi Ke had just suffered from this move, and although he didn't know its principle, he understood that having his mouth and nose covered by the "fragrant female's" palm would make him dizzy. So even though his body was stiff from the backward momentum, he forcibly reversed the momentum, flipped over, and dodged Hana's attack.

With such a large weight, it was very difficult for Pike to twist his body suddenly against his own inertia. He was also a little tired, but before he could catch his breath, Kanon's attack arrived again.

This time it was another sharp combo, with punches and kicks that were a mix of "explosive core" and "attack and neutralization" coming one after another. Although it still couldn't break through his defenses, Pike's internal organs and flesh were impacted, and he felt pain to some extent, causing him to howl incessantly.

For the next two or three minutes, people opened their eyes and saw Kanon hitting Pike. When they blinked and closed their eyes, they could still hear Kanon hitting Pike. In short, Kanon kept beating Pike, and Pike had no way to fight back.

"This is bad..." The audience started to discuss, but just like when Pike attacked Kanon at the beginning, they thought it was Kanon showing her strength. Now that it was Kanon beating Pike, they also thought Pike was better: "Ye Kanon is in a bad situation."

The audience this time was very discerning; they could easily see that Kanon had been relentlessly attacking Pike for a long time but still couldn't break through his defenses. That meant she really couldn't penetrate Pike's defenses. Considering Pike's seemingly bottomless stamina, once Kanon couldn't withstand the onslaught, Pike's counterattack would secure the victory.

"Damn it, this primitive scum's only redeeming quality is his durability." In the Wu clan's area of ​​the stands, Wu Lei'an stood with his arms crossed, stamping his feet. He still didn't like Huayin, but even he had to admit that this girl who had completely humiliated him was a true peerless powerhouse. Now, seeing her helpless against Pike, Lei'an's mood was anxious and complicated: "If only I had such stamina and strength back then... Damn it, damn it, damn it, you brat, you better wait until I get my revenge on you, don't lose to that idiot ape!"

Even Wu Lei'an was so biased, not to mention the other spectators, who were all supporting Kanon. Garuda and the old man from the Wu clan, Kanon's friends and family, the karate practitioners from the Shinshinkai, the sumo wrestlers from Kinryuzan and Oni-no-zan, the wrestlers from Super Japan Wrestling, Kosuro, Inaba Ryo, Uncle Murobuchi... the more worried everyone was about Kanon, the more enthusiastic their cheers were.

"Go, go, go... Ah!"

Suddenly, a gasp rippled through the stands. Pike had launched a charge, landing on all fours. Pike was currently in his "second-stage transformation," so this charge was incredibly powerful and lightning-fast. However, his old problem persisted: his force was limited to a straight line, like a bullet. With a slight dodge and a lateral force, he could be deflected into the Pacific Ocean.

That's exactly what Hanon did. Her control over power was already at the level of Shibukawa's Goki. She was also young, and her reactions and actions were extremely fast. With a slight maneuver, Pico was sent flying far away and crashed into the stands.

The audience scrambled to get out of the way, but thankfully they were all people with a martial arts background, and some were even experts. They were able to react quickly to the sudden situation. Some took care of themselves, while others looked after others. In the end, they were all out of danger. Pike smashed a bunch of seats with a "bang," but fortunately no one was hurt.

It was common for Pike to knock over flowers and plants during his charge, but this didn't hurt him. The dust kicked up by the damaged seat hadn't even settled when Pike stood up.

In the arena, Hana beckoned to Pi Ke with her finger: "Handsome, can you still fight?"

Don't keep the girl waiting! .jpg

"Huff, huff... Aow!" Pike gasped for breath, then roared and jumped back into the ring, where the two fought again.

"What terrifying savagery..." Katsumi sighed, deeply impressed by Pike's resilience.

However, the Sea King beside him frowned: "This is not right."

Katsumi was taken aback: "Huh? What's wrong?"

“When I fought Pike, I also suppressed him with Chinese boxing. Facing Pike’s powerful charge after his transformation, I also sent him flying into the stands several times. But every time, Pike would jump up energetically and immediately launch an attack. His ability to withstand blows and his stamina are truly limitless…” Retsukai-oh stared at Pike, who was still being unilaterally beaten by Hanon in the ring, trying to figure something out but without any clue: “Didn’t you notice? Just now, Pike’s breathing was very rapid, and he didn’t return to the ring to fight immediately—he was tired and scared!”

Upon hearing what Lie Haiwang said, Keji recalled it and realized it was true. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What's going on? Could it be that Miss Ye used some kind of magical Chinese martial arts?"

"I don't know." Lie Haiwang honestly admitted his ignorance: "If I had known, I would have used it when I fought Pike. The only thing I can be sure of is what Ye Haihuang did that had a good effect on weakening Pike."

Kanon did indeed do something, but it was so subtle that no one present could tell. Even Yujiro Hanma, the "world's strongest creature," who was drinking tea and watching the battle from the corridor, was completely baffled: "What did this girl do?"

As perceptive as Yujiro was, he could see that Pike's condition was rapidly deteriorating, but he couldn't understand how Kanon had managed it: "Could it be poison?"

"Hehehe, Ye girl wouldn't be 'poisonous'." Guo Haihuang took a sip of tea, looking relaxed.
