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

Without him saying anything, Retsu Kaioh, Adam, and the others who quickly entered the room had already lifted Kanon and rushed towards the infirmary, while Tokugawa Hanko was also carefully picked up by the more attentive Guji Doppo and sent backstage.

Soon, only Miyamoto Musashi, dizzy and with a broken leg, remained in the arena, looking around blankly, seemingly still pondering what had happened.

He stared at the broken "Great Prajna Chōkō," a famous samurai sword in Japan, hailed as a national treasure, now broken in two, with traces of Hanon's blood still on it.

"If this sword hadn't suddenly broken, and if that old woman hadn't interfered, wouldn't I have been the one who lost in the end?"

"No, not necessarily. That girl has lost too much blood. If I abandon my sword and use my palm, and try to hold on for a little longer, she might run out of strength and faint... Well, that is, assuming my leg isn't broken."

"I was too hasty with this move. After she broke my leg, my mobility was severely reduced. Even if I abandoned my sword, my chances of winning in hand-to-hand combat would be greatly reduced. So, did I really lose?"

"Not necessarily. When the Great Prajna Long Light broke, our center of gravity shifted. Perhaps I could draw back 'Nameless Golden Heavy' and kill her with a single strike?"

"Anything is possible, but what's done is done, and this is the final outcome. That little girl, Ye Huayin, is truly an exceptionally formidable opponent..."

Musashi let out a deep sigh from the depths of his soul; the fear and joy that Kanon had brought him would linger in his heart for a long time. At this moment, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but worry about the unconscious Kanon: "I wonder how that little girl is?"

Author's Note: Oh yeah, how's Kanon doing? See you tomorrow!

Ahem, to be honest, I initially wanted to find a picture of Kanon rolling her eyes after being kissed by Hanko, but after searching on ahegao...

Section 869, Chapter 860: The Soul Heads to the Distance

Outside the medical room of the Tokyo Dome underground arena, it was already packed with people. After all, the arena could hold 55,000 people, and about one-tenth of them were closely related to Kanon. If another one-tenth of those ran away, it would be enough to overwhelm a corner of the backstage area.

However, despite their rush, most people could only wait outside the infirmary. Only a dozen or so people were allowed to enter the infirmary to visit, including Kanon's family and friends. Even Retsu Kaioh and Katsumi Gokuchi were not allowed to enter.

Adam didn't go in either. Logically speaking, he was a member of the close friends and family, and he was closer to Kanon than to others. However, he had a very bad temper, and Shibukawa, in a fit of anger, pulled him back and didn't let him into the house.

"Fvck!" Adam slammed his fist against the wall, the force of which shook the corridor. "The young lady was so sure of victory, but this unexpected thing happened... How hateful, how hateful!"

As Adam's powerful punch caused a shockwave, Kouhou, who was stitching up Hanon's wound in the infirmary, frowned. Garuda, who had been watching them intently, immediately turned and walked to the door, leaning out and gesturing to Adam: "Shh—"

It immediately became quiet outside.

“There’s no need for that.” Hao Hongye shook her head and cut the last thread. “The wound has been stitched up.”

With Hao Hongye's medical skills and his own considerable martial arts prowess, his wrists are always as steady as a mountain during surgery. Even if Adam throws a punch or yells outside, or even if he seriously demolishes the house, it won't affect this side.

Hao Hongye frowned because of another issue: "The bleeding has stopped; it was just a minor surgery. Although Miss Huayin has many knife wounds, they are all superficial and nothing serious. But..."

“It’s strange that she hasn’t woken up.” Yingchu, who was also skilled in both medicine and martial arts, was also there. He first examined Tokugawa Hanko and found that she was fine. Then he came over to Hanon. With Hokoyo performing the surgery, Yingchu didn’t need to interfere, so he kept an eye on the readings of various medical instruments: “All of her physical data are at a good level, and even the blood loss hasn’t exceeded the limit. The only problem is that her brainwaves are fluctuating too slowly and are too low.”

"Dr. Ying, what does this mean?" Takakaze Kirito frowned, sensing something was wrong with Kanon's condition.

Even Yingchu, who is usually carefree and cheerful, hesitated this time: "Well, well... the worst-case scenario might be a vegetative state, and the best-case scenario would be a good night's sleep. The only thing that can be confirmed is that Hanon is currently in a deep coma."

“Kane…” Miho, who had been silently shedding tears, felt dizzy upon hearing this and fell backward, but was caught by Ito: “We cannot be too pessimistic before we have a definite result.”

But the old butler was also shedding tears, so the comforting nature of those words was obvious.

Takakaze Kirito was also shocked by the news, but after swaying a couple of times, he steadied himself and supported Kanon's hospital bed: "Is this the price of pursuing dreams... Kanon..."

At this point, there was no need to say "I knew this day would come" or "I should have used every means to confine Huayin." What's done is done, but the future can still be shaped. He composed himself and bowed deeply to Hao Hongye and Yingchu: "Please, you two, do everything you can to wake Huayin up."

The two doctors were friends of Kanon, so they would naturally do their best. Tokugawa Mitsunari, who was standing next to them, also said, "That's right, I will do everything I can to help Miss Kanon recover!"

Ugh, this old scoundrel still has the nerve to talk! If he hadn't caused the Miyamoto Musashi resurrection incident, none of this would have happened.

"Slap—" Before Hanon's friends and family could get angry and demand justice from Tokugawa Mitsunari, he was slapped across the face by the person behind him and knocked over.

It turned out that Tokugawa Hanko, who had been knocked unconscious by Musashi earlier, had woken up.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Tokugawa Hanko seemed to be in relatively good spirits. After slapping her younger brother across the face, she spat and scolded, "You good-for-nothing! Don't you care about me at all? Besides, if you hadn't created the clone of Miyamoto Musashi, none of this would have happened! You, the mastermind, and I, the accomplice, both deserve to die!"

Tokugawa Mitsunari's status and position were such that he could disregard everyone else's feelings, but powerful warriors and his own sister were his Achilles' heel. When reprimanded, he had to force a smile and apologize: "Yes, yes, I've realized the terrible consequences of reviving Musashi..."

"Ahem, Ms. Hanzi." Guo Haihuang, who had been silent for a long time, walked over after a light cough. After all, he was a veteran leader who had been in charge of the Martial Arts Department for over a hundred years. Unlike Hanon's family and lovers, he was not flustered. Although he was also worried, he could still see the crux of the problem: "Everyone has fear, expectation, and longing for Miyamoto Musashi. When he appeared in the modern era, it was inevitable that the martial artists would be itching to fight, which led to these challenges and competitions. We are not without blame for the innocent people who were killed before and for Hanon tonight... But now is not the time to discuss Musashi and responsibility. Since it was your intrusion that caused Hanon to fall into a coma, I would like to ask you, are you aware of Hanon's current condition?"

Yes, Kanon revealed that Tokugawa Hanko was a spirit medium, and Musashi's resurrection was due to her summoning of his spirit. Just now, she tried to sneak in but failed and kissed Kanon, after which Kanon fell into a coma. Although it seems unbelievable from a scientific point of view, there are always some mysterious things in the world...

“Yes, her soul is gone.” Tokugawa Hanko clearly knew what had happened. She jumped off the bed, went to Hanon’s side and quickly examined her. Then she said to everyone, “Don’t look so sad. Don’t panic, it’s not a big deal.”

Hanko's confidence was infectious, and the atmosphere in the infirmary immediately became less oppressive. Miho quickly asked, "Um, Grandma Hanko, how do we wake Hanon up?"

"Calm down. Our original strategy was for her to lock Musashi down, and for me to rush over, extract Musashi's soul, and send it back to the underworld. But who would have thought that the 'Great Prajna Long Light' would be broken! As a result, I extracted Hanon's soul, and then Musashi bumped into me, causing Hanon's soul to dissipate into the void..."

"'Daibunnya Nagako' is definitely a famous sword in the world. Its breakage is not a quality problem, but because Kanon and Musashi are too strong..." Hearing that Kanon was alright, the sky cleared, and the rain stopped, Tokugawa Mitsunari felt that he was fine again and muttered to himself. As a result, he was scolded by his sister: "Shut up, you bastard!"

After finishing his scolding, Hanzi continued, "If the old woman's soul leaves her body, her life might be in danger. But Huayin is young and strong, and martial artists have very strong mental strength. Their souls are inherently stronger than ordinary people. I will perform rituals to summon her soul every day. It will take three to five days, or one to two months, to bring her back sooner or later. All we need to do is preserve her physical body."

"R-really?" Seeing Hanzi's certainty, Kirito, Miho, Garuda, and the others all smiled. However, Guo Haihuang was quite old and very curious about the afterlife, so he couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Hanzi, you said that Hanon's soul has dissipated. Could it be that she is wandering in some corner of the world?"

"Sigh... To be honest, I don't know either." Hanzi sighed, making everyone's hearts tighten again: "Whether it's the living or the dead, the soul has its own unique trajectory, which makes it possible to summon a spirit. As long as I can find the right target, I can summon the souls of both the living and the dead. But the problem with Hanon is that her soul deviated from this trajectory due to an accident!"

“Souls unconsciously gravitate towards their own unique trajectory. When Kanon gets close enough to her trajectory, she will be found and brought back by my soul-summoning technique. Before that, she may be right beside us, or at the ends of the earth, or drifting to the distant past, or even traveling to the mysterious future... Souls are truly wondrous.”

Author's Note: This is the third update of the 2000-word chapter today. This chapter takes up an unexpectedly long time to talk about everyone's reactions and Kanon's situation... The next chapter begins Kanon's unexpected journey of soul. If I wanted to pad out this journey—no, I should say expand it—I could write hundreds of thousands more words, but I think I'll focus on a few small plots and one major plot. Well, I should say two major plots, one of which is a prelude to the ending. As for the specifics, please continue reading!

Section 870, Chapter 861: Transmigrating to Another World - I Am a Primitive Man

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

The wandering soul regained consciousness and posed the classic three questions.

Oh, I'm Hanane. I was just dueling with Miyamoto Musashi and I was about to win... Wait, shouldn't I have won? Why isn't the scene in front of me the arena under the Tokyo Giants anymore?

Where is Musashi? Where is Grandma Hanko? Where is everyone?

Also, "Ye Huayin" is just my name in this life. I also had a previous life where I was a man, and my name was...

"Gurgle, gurgle."

Well, it's not that our protagonist has traveled to the world of "The Lord of the Rings," but rather that when she tries to speak, her throat is very unruly, as if she has never experienced complex vocal cord vibrations before.

No, it's not just a problem with her voice; her body is in a similar state—heavy and inflexible. Ever since Hanon embarked on the path of martial arts and started training at Mr. Shirogane's gym, even when carrying a hundred or two kilograms of weight while exercising, she has never felt this sluggish.

"What's wrong with me?" Just like in the opening scene of a first-person video game, Hanon struggled to raise her arm and bring it into her line of sight. Then she discovered that it was a child's thin and weak arm with extremely rough skin. Even when she was a man in her previous life, her arm was never this rough.

Could this really be Gollum from The Lord of the Rings?

Turning her head, Hana saw a pool of water not far away, so she ran towards it. Because she was not used to her new body, she tripped once along the way. Finally, when she struggled to the water's edge and saw her face clearly in the reflection on the water, she cried out "Ah!"

It was an ugly face with a lot of hair, brownish-black color, a flat skull, and protruding lips. Only its eyes were quite bright and lively, as cute as a small animal, and it looked like it was not old... In fact, it was so. Although it had a big head, the limbs of this body were relatively thin and weak, and it looked like a six or seven-year-old child who had not yet developed.

As for the gender, Hanon touched it and thought, "Hmm, it's female, or should I call it female? I'm not sure."

Hanon felt her appearance was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. Her mind wasn't developing very well yet, so she thought things through more slowly and needed more time...

Ah, I remember now! Pico! Doesn't this look a lot like Pico? It's a caveman!

"I've been transported into a caveman?" Hana blinked, her large, watery eyes being the most modern-looking feature of her. "How did I end up being transported into a caveman?!"

Uncle, Miho, Garuda, Grandpa Itō, Grandpa Guo, Master Kuroki, everyone at the gym, classmates from Deidon, friends, enemies, and those with whom I have bonds, my billions of dollars that I didn't even have time to enjoy properly... Kanon's big eyes were filled with question marks. How could everything she had painstakingly accumulated over two years have vanished in the blink of an eye?

Ugh... my head hurts...

Hana rolled around on the shore, clutching her head. Suddenly free of all constraints, she had no interest in "Transmigrating to Another World: I Am a Primitive Man." She wasn't the protagonist of that kind of farming novel!

After rolling around for about a minute, Hana calmed down: "Ugh, this isn't a solution. Let's see how things go."

This is a child's body. Even if it is stronger than later civilized humans, it is only relative to children of the same age. Moreover, the ancient world was full of dangers, and survival was much more difficult.

She tightened her arms and realized that she had become much more accustomed to this body. She could even feel her muscles slowly tensing up inch by inch—she was so familiar with it; this was the feeling of precisely controlling her muscles every day!

"It seems that, just like last time I transmigrated, my talent for precisely controlling my muscles is still there. Could this be an inevitable result of the soul and body merging?" Hanon wasn't a scientist and couldn't understand this, especially since even the most brilliant scientists couldn't explain soul transmigration. In short, she had possessed the body of a primitive little girl and retained her ability to precisely control her muscles.

"Alright!" Armed with a sharp weapon, her killing intent rose spontaneously. Discovering that her most powerful weapon was still intact, Hanon felt a renewed surge of heroic spirit: "As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement! Even if I come to the ancient era, I will survive!"

However, just as Hana was full of ambition and preparing to make a name for herself in the ancient era, a loud bang suddenly erupted from the pool behind her, and a water column more than ten meters long burst out—from beneath the water column emerged a super-large crocodile more than ten meters long, which opened its blood-red maw and bit at Hana.

The crocodile's mouth was bigger than Kanon's entire body; swallowing Kanon would probably only be a small appetizer for it... But nature is cruel; the strong show no mercy to the weak and will devour without hesitation if given the chance.

Indeed, nature is a law of the jungle... Who says that crocodiles are always the strongest?

"Ow—"

When Kanon turned around in a hurry, the giant crocodile was less than two meters away from her. However, Kanon didn't need to worry about the giant crocodile anymore, because what she saw was the moment the giant crocodile pounced. From the side of the forest, another figure rushed out like lightning, crashed into the giant crocodile, knocked it to the side, and then bit it!

The newcomer's sharp teeth pierced the crocodile's scales, blood flowing freely. At the same time, he tightly locked the crocodile's neck with both hands, and before the crocodile could struggle, he had already started rolling with it!

One roll, two rolls, three rolls... As it rolled, the arm that was locking the giant crocodile tightened. This terrifying beast was a disgrace to its future generations, actually being subjected to a "death roll" by another creature! It couldn't break free at all. The opponent's strength was incomparably powerful, completely suppressing the giant crocodile. It could only let its enemy slowly and firmly strangle it to death.

Kanon was completely stunned. This... this was the carnage of the primitive world? The legendary power of the wild?

If she were in the state she was in when she fought Musashi, she wouldn't mind sparring with such a giant beast, but now she's just a weak child. How is she supposed to survive until she's strong enough?

Oh dear, the future looks bleak.

However, it's not impossible. The creature that strangled the giant crocodile seemed to be a humanoid and even saved Hanon. Could it be the original guardian of this body?

That's why, after killing the giant crocodile, the humanoid creature didn't rush to eat, but instead jumped off the crocodile's back and came to Hanon's side.

Hanon exclaimed in surprise: "Pico!"

Kanon didn't recognize the other primitive people, but she had seen Pike's face and figure countless times. She was so familiar with him that there was no way she could mistake him... This was truly a case of "you never know where you'll meet someone again." She never expected that Kanon's ability to bump into familiar people wherever she went could actually be applied even in ancient times, after traveling through millions of years!

"Goo?" Pike was confused. "Pike"? What "Pike"? Can you eat it?

Pike was a lone wolf in ancient times, but he would occasionally live with primitive tribes for a while. A powerful warrior like him represented an absolute food source and was extremely popular wherever he went. Recently, he happened to be staying in the tribe of the primitive girl that Hanon possessed. Today was a day for everyone to go out and forage for food. The men hunted and the women gathered. Pike simply rescued Hanon while hunting a giant crocodile.

Little did he know that years later, he would be thoroughly humiliated by the girl in front of him... well, the soul within her body, and would be utterly defeated.

Right now, Pi was just urging the little girl to find the adults of the tribe. It seemed there were many wild animals in this area, and gathering alone would be dangerous. Of course, he could only express himself using some simple primitive sounds and gestures; this era was too ancient, and they hadn't even developed a language yet.

Meanwhile, Kanon, who was opposite him, was so excited to finally see a familiar face that she kept talking, completely unaware that Pi couldn't understand her: "It's so great to meet you! Now we can survive in ancient times too! Hey, considering that I helped you get revenge on Musashi in the future, you old driver, can you take me under your wing for a while? I can also take care of your daily life. I'm telling you, last time you actually fed Musashi pork intestine sashimi, his face turned green, hahaha... hiccup!"

As she was speaking, Hana suddenly stopped, her bright eyes became dull, and her body went limp, causing her to fall backward—but she didn't fall because Pi caught her in time.

"Goo?" Pi had no idea what was going on.
