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

"Old man, do you know?" Yujiro raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Guo Haihuang had figured out what had happened.

"I only know the general idea," Guo Haihuang laughed. "After all, when I first encountered this tactic, I only had a rough concept of it."

Practice makes perfect. Only those who have truly experienced it know what Kanon did, for example...

"You mean that's the move we used during our warm-up?" At the very top of the stands, "Fighting King" Naoya Okubo looked at "Fighting God" Gaolang Unsavado beside him with a hint of surprise: "Is Hanane using that kind of technique where one punch delivers two bursts of power?"

Author's Note: I'll try to resume four updates today, fighting!

Section 779, Chapter 770: Flowers, Sound

“Exactly.” Gaolang’s martial arts skills weren’t much higher than Okubo’s, but he was definitely more familiar with Kanon and more attentive to her. Therefore, he was more certain than Okubo that Kanon was using the kind of skill that combined two different punching forces in one punch.

Okubo didn't argue about that; he trusted Gaolang's judgment. His questions lay elsewhere: "Well, even if she used that technology, it might not be effective on Pico, right?"

After all, what was originally meant to be one punch to Pike could now be two punches at most. Kanon's Air Punch is a technique derived from "Air Path," and its power is not great. It only makes Kanon's fighting style more complicated and unpredictable, but breaking through Pike's defense... is impossible!

“I don’t know either,” Gaolang readily admitted. “But Pico’s decline is clearly visible.”

As Gaolang said, the audience members present were all quite discerning. Yujiro and Guo Haihuang were the first to notice that Pike's condition was not right. Retsu Kaioh, Gaolang, and Okubo were the second wave, but the others were not much slower to react. After Kanon and Pike continued to fight for more than a minute, everyone noticed Pike's abnormality.

Pi was very anxious, confused, tired, and angry, but despite his complicated emotions, he couldn't do anything to Huayin.

Pike, in his "Second Transformation," threw a powerful punch at Kanon, the sound of the punch cutting through the air immediately ringing in his ears. He had been fooled by this move before, so this time Pike decided to ignore it and continue pouncing on the female in front of him.

However, although the power of the punch that broke through the air was somewhat weak, it still had a certain offensive capability. And it happened to strike along with Pike's forward lunge, causing Pike's center of gravity to sway, his feet to become unsteady, and his body to lean forward. Hanon seized the opportunity and delivered another knee strike to his face!

Pike leaned back, and Hanon chased after him and started hitting him. Pike was in pain and became furious again. He spread his arms wide, determined to capture and kill his opponent at all costs. But he missed again. Hanon had already activated "Unpredictable Transformation" and instantly circled behind Pike.

"Awooo!" Pike reacted quickly, turning to follow Hana and swinging his arms to attack backward. But as he turned around, he heard a loud bang: "Boom—"

That was Kanon's one-handed "Kiryu," or "Hollow" with only the intro, but the sonic boom was very effective on Pi, whose senses were very sensitive. It made his head buzz and his movements became disordered, so Kanon rushed up... and got another beating.

The fight between Hanon and Pike was roughly like this.

It's not that Kanon's attacks are particularly strong; in fact, even if she continued attacking, she still wouldn't be able to break through Piko's defenses. And that wasn't her goal either. Her goal was...

Just like in Stephen Chow's movie "King of Destruction," the highest level of ancient Chinese martial arts is psychological warfare.

Just like in Zhao Benshan's skit "Heart Disease": "Sister, change your route, or you might as well give him a breakdown therapy."

Hanon is not a fanatical warmonger. Even though she is indeed interested in powerful warriors and willing to fight them, Hanon is usually more focused on "victory and defeat." In battle, she thinks more about how to win rather than trying to prove that she is better than her opponent in a certain aspect. If one method doesn't work, there are other methods. Hanon is very flexible!

To defeat a formidable enemy, one can try to break through from the outside, so Kanon tried the "Supersonic Fist".

If you can't break through from the outside, you might as well try to destroy it from the inside. That's why Kanon used "Air Path" at the beginning.

Finally, if the enemy's body is indestructible, how about trying to destroy his spirit?

Utilizing the principle of "emptiness" to create a vacuum with one hand, unleashing two forces in a single punch—this is a technique that Hanon discussed with Guo Haihuang after the Grand Tournament. Originally used only for breaking pancakes, it has now been refined into a martial art capable of engaging masters like Gaolang and Okubo. Hanon named it "Wufang Da" (meaning "Unpredictable Strike"). In terms of power, "Wufang Da" isn't particularly strong, but in terms of flashy complexity, it's second to none, arguably one of the most unpredictable moves in the world. Coupled with Hanon's little trick of creating a sonic boom with one hand, it's perfect for crushing Piko's spirit!

If you use "No-Shot" against modern fighting masters, and you can't finish them off quickly, like if you spend more time entangled with Gaolang and Okubo during warm-up, they will eventually get used to this martial art and find a way to deal with it. At least they will understand that this is Hanon's special attack and will not be confused while being on guard.

But Pi Ke was different. He had no concept of martial arts. In the past, no matter how powerful the ancient beasts he fought, they all fought each other directly. He had never seen such a strange and bizarre attack method as "unpredictable fighting." He couldn't distinguish whether the sudden gusts of wind and sounds were real or fake, which ones were actually attacking and which ones were just feints. He couldn't even figure out which sounds were coming from "the female of the flower fragrance" and which ones weren't... On the contrary, Pi Ke was being beaten up by Hua Yin. Those attacks didn't break his defenses, but they still hurt a lot when they hit him! One or two moves, three or five moves, Pi Ke could still hold on, but as time went on, his mind began to become disordered.

It's fair to say that Pico has fallen into a hypnotic state! His brain, overwhelmed by Kanon's attacks, is working at breakneck speed and can't keep up, leading to dizziness, mental fog, and lethargy. This mental stress, in turn, affects his body, causing unexpected fatigue. This fatigue, in turn, further complicates his thinking, creating a vicious cycle…

"Hoo, hoo, howl—" Pike began to roar and howl frequently, but his voice gradually became shrill and even mournful. He wasn't just taking the beating; relying on his strong physique, he launched many attacks. However, Hanon was not only "flexible" but also "slippery." Her "predictive reading" was accurate, and she could easily counter attacks. Her "unpredictable transformations" were as swift as the wind, and her "Thunderbolt," "Power Dissipation," and "Indestructible Vajra" were powerful defensive guarantees. Pike was like a tiger trapped in the nature reserve created by Hanon. He seemed free and invincible on the plains, unharmed, but in reality, he couldn't escape the confined cage. He could only frolic and wait to die in a limited area.

"Hehehe, Hanon, Hanon, truly living up to her name! Using 'flashy moves' and 'luring voices,' she's got Pike cornered." Guo Haihuang's insight was far superior; while others were still wondering why Pike couldn't withstand it, he had already seen through Hanon's secret to success. Old Haihuang laughed heartily: "This primitive man's fighting power is truly formidable. To think of using his relatively weak mental strength to her advantage, Ye girl, you're really something!"

"It's just a trick." Hanma Yujiro was quite disdainful of Kanon's tactics, but he also admitted that Kanon's tactics were successful: "Pike is just a wild beast after all. Once his weakness was exploited, there's nothing to regret about his defeat."

Yujiro's gaze fell on Tokugawa Mitsunari on the screen: "Old man, hurry up and finish that strange project. If it's 'him,' he'll definitely be stronger than a primitive man."

With both top-tier players having given their confirmation, the battle seems to be truly coming to an end! The battle between Hanon and Pike continued for another two minutes, a tedious and agonizing ordeal. Suddenly, Pike stopped, clutched his head, and let out the most painful howl anyone had ever heard him utter.

Author's Note: The last two chapters are underway! Keep fighting!

Section 780, Chapter 771: Enclosure

Since his encounter with Hanon, Pike's feelings have been very complicated, including anger, curiosity, hesitation, and excitement. Sometimes, when anger prevails, his attacks become more ferocious, and when hesitation takes over, his actions become slower.

Now, Pico's mind was completely consumed by fear... so he wanted to run.

What did Pi see when he looked at the female in front of him again?

It seems like it was during the war, the most ordinary scenery, things that Pi Ke had long since grown tired of and familiar with in ancient times. Yet these sights now seem so unfamiliar. Small puddles may be bottomless, distant mountains may be waiting to erupt at any moment, trees are poisonous, and bad-tempered insects lurk among the flowers and grass. The world is ordinary, yet every step is fraught with danger and murderous intent at every turn.

That's enough, that's enough. I don't want to eat her anymore... No, why would I want to eat someone who's only a pretty face and I can't even see any meat in the first place? I can't get any meat, I don't understand the situation, and I'm just left with all this pain. Stupid, so stupid...

Filled with indescribable anxiety, fear, and regret, Pico turned around and slowly walked towards the entrance passage.

He was still clutching his head with both hands, in a strange and even comical posture, but Pi didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to get away from Hana as quickly as possible.

"Ah, he ran away?" There was some silence in the audience. At first, people couldn't quite believe that Pike had just run away. After all, they were all from the fighting world and still had modern mindsets. How could a top fighter just leave without caring about his reputation? So there were only a few questions in the stands, which slowly turned into belief, shock and cheers.

"We won? We won...we won!"

"Ye Huayin...she really beat Pike!"

"As expected of Ye Haihuang."

"Miss Kanon is amazing!"

"Kane is the best!"

"Although Pike's defense was not broken in the end, Pike could not do anything to Ye Hana. In terms of the result, as the one who ran away with a face full of fear, Pike undoubtedly lost, and Ye Hana's victory was well-deserved."

"What Retsu Kaioh, Julius, Katsumi Guji, and Jack Vanma couldn't do, Kaname did. But isn't that obvious? She's the arena champion... Hmm, but why did Pikachu run away?"

In the audience, the martial artists discussed endlessly. Although most people didn't know how this seemingly ordinary beating had caused Piko to break down and admit defeat, they generally acknowledged Kanon's strength.

Dr. Payne, sitting in the VIP seats, was also applauding Hanon, his applause completely heartfelt: "Truly remarkable! This Miss Ye has overturned my understanding! Modern martial artists are truly remarkable, managing to scare Pi Ke away, amazing! Especially since the scene wasn't very bloody and ended peacefully, this result is really acceptable."

After praising Kanon, the professor stood up and bid farewell to Tokugawa Mitsunari: "Well then, it's time for me to go backstage and contain Pico."

But wait a minute, has Dr. Payne forgotten something?

In her challenge declaration after the battle between Katsumi Guji and Piccolo, Kanon explained her purpose: she wanted to defeat Piccolo, to make him lose his sacred status in the hearts of modern martial artists, and thus extinguish his ambition to challenge him and stop him from taking risks. Kanon's original intention was something that even Dr. Pain, the Guji father and son, Retsu Kaioh, and the disciples of the Divine Heart Society did not have any deeper thoughts at this time.

But Hana-on has it.

Pike's escape was tantamount to admitting defeat, and Kanon undoubtedly won. However, since Kanon never broke through Pike's defenses, and Pike's willingness to retreat to end the battle meant that his standing in the eyes of the other martial artists had not fundamentally changed.

What if Pi is just in a bad mood? What if Pi just needs to pee? What if Pi is just being chivalrous?

In this situation, people have many reasons to excuse Pi Ke. He lost the game but not the power imbalance, which is not the result that Hanon wanted.

Piccolo, who had already walked some distance in the entrance passage, suddenly heard a whistle behind him. He turned around and saw that the "fragrant female" was pulling a strange man and ordering him to unbuckle his belt.

"Miss Ye, what's going on..." The man was an ordinary spectator on the sidelines, though he was a somewhat well-known martial artist, but far inferior to Hua Yin and Pike. Just now, Hua Yin suddenly came to the sidelines, pulled him onto the stage, and then ordered him to unbuckle his belt and point it towards the corner of the side railing...

Hua Yin smiled and said, "Hey buddy, I saw you drinking water for a while now, you must need to pee! So just take care of it here."

"What?" As a martial artist, the man was first amazed by Ye Huayin's terrifying insight. Facing a formidable opponent like Pike, she was still able to be distracted and notice that he had drunk a lot of water. But then he felt inexplicably ashamed: "How could you...pee like that..."

"I know it's a bit much to ask, but it's come up suddenly, so I have no choice but to ask you for help," Hana said, clasping her hands together in a pleading manner.

The man scratched his face: "Oh dear, even if you say that, Miss Ye, I still..."

"Pee!" Hua Yin became impatient, and a murderous aura, as solid as a tangible substance, rushed towards the man, instantly causing his heart to clench.

From the sidelines, the man thought that while Ye Huayin and Pike's fighting skills were high, he could still hope to catch up, and perhaps even catch up in his lifetime. But now, after actually experiencing the pressure from Huayin, the man realized that he and martial artists of this level were practically two different species...

As for urinating, it was already done without me even realizing it...

"Ouch?" Seeing the man peeing along the wall under Huayin's shoving, especially drawing a line on the sand at the entrance of his own passage, Pi couldn't stay calm.

Since arriving in modern society, the Tokyo Dome's underground arena has been Pike's favorite spot. He likes to sit there waiting for the next challenge and the next wave of food. It holds many fond memories for him, and he's met many interesting opponents. However, now another male has urinated there, leaving traces. According to the rules of nature, this is equivalent to marking off a private plot of land and driving Pike away.

This is intolerable! Pico felt an instinctive rage erupt from the depths of his soul!

On all fours, he jumped back to the ring in two steps and pounced straight at the man urinating.

Fortunately, Hana was quick-witted and prepared. She reached out and grabbed the man by the back of his collar, and with a gentle toss, sent him back to the stands, where he sat down in his original seat.

Pico's charge missed its target, and he turned to face Hanon.

"Hey, Pikachu, our battle isn't over yet." Once again, Kanon beckoned to Pikachu with her finger. The experiment of hunting primitives wasn't over yet!

As for the man who had been used as a tool by Kanon, after experiencing the murderous intent of both Kanon and Pike, he collapsed into his seat after being thrown back into the stands, feeling completely exhausted.

"Ha, hahaha, I'm still alive..." Despite the cold sweat dripping down his body and soaking his clothes, the man felt that survival was difficult and he was lucky to be alive: "Thank goodness I only drank water and didn't eat, otherwise it wouldn't just be a matter of urinating."

Author's Note: I estimate I'll be writing the next chapter until 12:30 AM, but there will be more. Finishing it today seems a bit difficult; I didn't expect that myself.

Section 781, Chapter 772: Pico Using Technology

Back in the ring, Pike was furious and instantly completed his "second phase" transformation, once again pouncing on Kanon in a monstrous form.

Damn you, you wretched woman! Today, I'm going to kill you, eat you, grind your bones to dust, and scatter your ashes!

Human nature is a strange thing; sometimes courage and cowardice can switch in an instant. At the start of the battle, Pike was brave, but was exhausted by Kanon's complex "no-holds-barred" tactics, and cowardice took over. Now, provoked back to the battlefield by Kanon's challenge, and with no escape, Pike's emotions have turned into an unprecedented rage, vowing to crush Kanon.

As for Hanon, although she still had a fourth method in mind for the "hunting primitive man experiment", when she first took over, she still used the old method of "no way to fight" to wear down the fighting spirit that Pi Ke had just been inspired.

But this time, Hana was clearly struggling. She discovered that Pi could adapt to "no way to hit".

Pike wasn't particularly intelligent, but he wasn't stupid either. His knowledge was certainly less than that of modern people, and his mindset couldn't be changed overnight. However, purely in terms of intelligence, Pike was no different from modern humans; he wasn't an idiot. Humans with normal intelligence, on the other hand, are born with the ability to understand and adapt to the world.

In the "primitive world" that Pico glimpsed through Hanon, although it was still full of danger, it was no longer so mysterious and unknown. Pico had found the general location of the danger and knew how to avoid it.

This doesn't mean that Pico can now distinguish between Kanon's feints and real attacks, and knows when it's just noise from Kanon trying to mislead him and when it's a real attack. Rather, it means that Pico has realized that these noises and air punches are techniques used by Kanon to target him, and that's enough.

With this realization, Pike has already stood on the same starting line as modern martial artists. Modern martial artists cannot break through Hanon's "Unpredictable Strike" - to counter Hanon today, even Kuroki Gensai would probably have a super hard time! But modern martial artists know that this is Hanon's move and are not confused. Now Pike has also realized this, and he is no longer confused.
