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

"Coo coo coo?" Pike couldn't even open his mouth to shout; he could only make a gurgling sound from his throat, which represented the fear in his heart. Pike had seen countless monsters and powerful enemies, but he couldn't understand this kind of unseen enemy and had no idea what was going on.

In fact, let alone Pike, even modern people don't understand this kind of superpower at all. They would also think this scene is haunted and then be so scared that they faint.

With a casual wave of her hand, the spirit Huayin sent Pico flying far away like a catapult launching a siege stone.

As the spirit Kanon said before, as long as Pike doesn't launch a sneak attack, she can face Pike head-on and defeat this super-powerful caveman in one move. They are on two different levels; mere physical strength is of no help in resisting superpowers.

Watching Pike fly away, the spirit Hana scratched her cheek: "Oh dear, that should be a deserted lake over there... But it doesn't matter, Pike's body is super strong, even if he falls from a height of several hundred meters onto the shore, he won't lose his life."

Then, the spirit Kanon floated down from the building again and came to Kanon and Yujiro's side, continuing to enjoy the battle that she had silently protected.

The battle is still raging.

"Bang! Bang bang!" Hanon unleashed her strongest attack, slamming into Yujiro. She used both hands simultaneously, each hand delivering a "single-handed whirlwind"—a technique where four forces intertwined and converged within Yujiro's body, creating an endless gale that destroyed everything in its path.

An ordinary martial artist would surely die if hit by this move, so Kanon had never used it on anyone else before. However, ordinary martial artists don't even need to use "Blowaway." Only a handful of people, such as Yujiro, Pike, Tatsuyoshi Katsuya, and Miyamoto Musashi, are worthy of such a heavy blow.

But those who are truly suited to this move will not be defeated by it.

Yujiro Hanma's body was so strong that he could only control his muscles to a limited extent to avoid damage! Kanon slammed her fists down, thinking she had finally gained a slight advantage in the exchange, but the feeling after hitting her was very strange. It felt like she had hit her, but she hadn't fully absorbed the force. This feeling was familiar...

"Huh, isn't this my 'Thunderbolt'?" Hanon finally realized that this was her move, but she had always used it herself and taken hits from others. Now that she was hitting someone else's "Thunderbolt", she was really not used to it.

Yujiro learned the "force neutralization" technique on the spot during his match against Guo Haihuang in the Grand Tournament! Since he understood the principles of "force neutralization" and had strong control over his muscles, and had seen Kanon use "Raibu" quite often throughout the battle, he naturally imitated this super-powerful defensive move.

Furthermore, because Yujiro's physical strength was extremely high, the destructive force that the hastily prepared "Raibu" could not withstand was dispersed to various parts of his body and was absorbed by his muscles and bones. As a result, Kanon's four-force "Blowaway" returned empty-handed.

Just as Kanon was shocked by Yujiro's use of "Raibu," Yujiro's killing move arrived.

Legend has it that more than ten years ago, during the Rokujin Hall tournament, Tatsuyoshi Katsuya, who was at the peak of his career and known as "the strongest man of the yellow race," faced off against the undefeated "Lion King" Shingoro Koyasu. When the two were locked in a fierce battle, they clashed with each other's strongest finishing moves. At that moment, Koyasu's "Demon Spear of Hades" was a fraction faster and struck Tatsuyoshi first... but in the end, it was Koyasu who suffered the loss.

Because Tatsuyoshi Katsuya deliberately took Koyasu's attacks head-on, minimizing the damage he was prepared for, and then unleashed his "Myōō's Iron Hammer" to strike hard, causing Koyasu to suffer more serious injuries than he did. The outcome of the battle was thus decided—even though Koyasu was not defeated in the end, he fell behind in every move he made, and when the time ran out, he was unable to reverse the decline.

Yujiro is using the same method now, striking back to gain the upper hand, deliberately creating an opening, and taking advantage of Kanon's momentary surprise as she gets tired of her move, he spreads his arms wide and strikes Kanon's temples with a move called "Double Peaks Piercing the Ears".

That's a deadly move!

Even at the moment of making the move, Yujiro was filled with many emotions: Baki's mother died from this move back then, and he had thought that if he faced Baki tonight, he might also use this move, which would have meant the end of the battle... but he never expected that he would end up using it on a strange girl.

"Boom—thump thump thump thump—poof!"

Author's Note: I should be on the train by the time I write the next chapter! But today's update is guaranteed~

Section 931, Chapter 922: It's time to use the ultimate move!

Kanon and Yujiro changed their moves so fast that before anyone could react, they saw a series of loud bangs and the two figures suddenly separate, a spray of blood flying through the air before they even hit the ground.

A second later, a less resolute member of the crowd gasped in surprise: "Ah—!"

The highly skilled martial artists, however, were puzzled: "Strange, why is it... a nosebleed?"

The splattered blood belonged to Hanon, but it wasn't the blood that spurted from the temple after being hit hard—that should have been blood spurting from the ear or all seven orifices, but Hanon's ear was perfectly clean, with only two streaks of blood shooting out from her nose, gushing down the "Iron Man" mask.

It turned out that in the critical moment, Kanon's adrenaline level soared. In her anxiety, she didn't care about anything else and turned the "Valkyrie Mode" up to the maximum power. That was the source of the rapid "thump thump thump thump" heartbeat. Kanon's heart pumped blood volume instantly beyond its limit. Under such a state, even the powerful attack of Yujiro Hanma could not damage her "Parting Heaven".

The price was that while she avoided the enemy's fatal attack, her own internal injuries were also threatening to kill her.

It wasn't just a nosebleed; if she hadn't tried so hard to hold it in, blood would have been gushing out of her mouth long ago. And even though she managed to hold back from spitting out a lot of blood, her fighting power was instantly reduced.

The battle situation is not good...

The good news is that Yujiro was about to give chase when he felt a churning in his chest and abdomen, so he had to stop and adjust his breathing. Even though he had imitated "Raibu," he was still not unscathed in the face of the terrifying destructive power of "Four Forces of Destruction."

The fight, which had been a constant exchange of blows and shifts in position, suddenly paused for a moment of respite. The onlookers rubbed their eyes, realizing that they had become so accustomed to the speed of the two fighters that everything around them seemed to be moving in slow motion.

"Why did it stop...? Has the battle been decided?" Recalling the blood splattering in the air and seeing the "Iron Lady" mask dripping blood, people seemed to have found the answer: "It seems that Yujiro Hanma was ultimately the better player."

"But this woman is so strong!" Doppo had also fought against Yujiro. He was almost killed by Yujiro when he activated "Oni Back" and lost an eye. He knew better than anyone the power of the "world's strongest creature". Therefore, he was more shocked than anyone by Kanon's performance: "Not only did she force Yujiro to attack with all his might, but she also persisted for so long. Even though she lost, she is still the strongest woman in the world. She is still glorious in defeat."

Next to the "God of War" is the "Saint of War." Shibukawa Takeki also agreed with Doppo's words, but he was particularly worried: "The most urgent thing is to get this little girl to admit defeat and back down, otherwise Yujiro will not hold back. She was able to avoid the attack just now, which means she is almost at her limit. If she continues to fight, not only will she be defeated, but her life will also be in danger."

"Who...who is she?" As one of the first people to arrive at the scene, Tokugawa Mitsunari, who held a high position and was among the first to arrive, stood closer to Kanon and Yujiro. He was both puzzled and shocked, unable to understand where this girl had come from and how she could fight Yujiro to such an extent. Even if Baki had come to keep the appointment tonight, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach this level!

How could I have missed such a powerful figure all this time?

Just as Tokugawa had marveled at Kanon's strength, he, like Shibukawa, became worried about Kanon's safety. He mustered his frail body and called out to Yujiro, "Yu... Yujiro... subordinate... stay... um."

Unable to utter a single word of "affection," Tokugawa Yujiro cast a stern glance at him. Having known each other for so long, Tokugawa immediately understood Yujiro's meaning—once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; Yujiro was completely engrossed. Faced with such a formidable opponent, the "Great Fierce" would not stop until a true victor was defeated.

That means someone has to fall down and never get up again.

"As long as I'm still standing, I can still fight," Hanon said.

These weren't just words; they were in her heart. Outwardly, she didn't need to explain her actions to anyone, because tonight's battle was a complete accident. Her only concern was her other self's body—playing around was fine, but she didn't want to ruin it…

Hanon is communicating with the spirit Hanon in her mind, comforting the somewhat worried other party.

"Alright." The spirit Kanon had a very gentle personality. Even though Kanon's fight with Yujiro had severely injured her body, she was still not in a hurry. She was only worried about Kanon's feelings: "I can sense that everyone around you thinks you're bound to lose. To be honest, I also really want to prove them wrong... but you have to know your limits. This Uncle Hanma is really strong!"

The spirit Huayin floated to Huayin's side and reached into her chest. Huayin immediately felt her body lighten, and the blood flow, which had been somewhat disordered after being pumped blood excessively, became refreshing.

"Wow... you can even use healing magic?"

"No, just simply to soothe your, no, my heart."

Hanon blushed: "Thank you, but isn't that a bit unfair to Yujiro?"

“After all, my physical abilities are not as good as yours. Consider this extra help as leveling the playing field.” The spirit Hana winked playfully, but then became worried: “However, this kind of reassurance has limited effect. You still can’t beat him. Your actions are too fast. If there are any casualties, I won’t even have time to use my superpowers to rescue them. You must be careful!”

Hanon nodded: "Don't worry, I won't risk your body. Now it's time to use my ultimate move."

"Is that the move you used to defeat that boy before?" The spirit Hanane raised an eyebrow. "I've never understood the principle behind that move. Isn't it just a regular hook punch? You didn't even charge up much, so how come it was so heavy? Also, if you have a special move, why are you only using it now?"

"It's a complicated explanation, and even if you'd like to hear it, I don't have time right now."

Kanon was right. Yujiro had finished his meditation. With a glance, he stopped Tokugawa. He was wearing the "Demon Back" and opened his arms again, assuming his most familiar stance. The attack of the "world's strongest creature" was about to descend. This time, it would only be stronger, fiercer, and more violent than before. It was a fatal blow, determined to completely destroy Kanon.

On the other hand, Kanon has reverted to a boxing stance, a stance that integrates offense and defense, allowing for both advance and retreat, and is exquisite and agile... perfectly matching the fighting style Kanon adopted tonight, as if she had no intention of changing anything at all.

Kanon and Yujiro's martial arts levels were too high for the passersby to even realize. No, even grandmaster-level powerhouses like Doppo Guji and Goki Shibukawa couldn't detect them. Kanon and Yujiro each took a step forward and began fighting again.

Kanon's special move... What special move?! Isn't it just the same attack as before? The same agile counter-attacks, the same careful maneuvering, the same "Razor," "Demon Spear," "Unpredictable Transformation," what, did she lie to the spirit Kanon?

Author's Note: I didn't expect to update earlier than usual today while on a trip (laughs and cries). My update schedule will definitely be a bit irregular for the next few days, so I apologize to everyone~ Kanon will probably defeat Yujiro by tomorrow, and then return to her true timeline, with Musashi waiting ahead~

Section 932, Chapter 923: The Truth Behind the Ultimate Technique, The Moment of Breaking the Impasse

Did Kanon lie? Of course not!

She's an irreplaceable, honest and reliable young man—cough cough, an honest and reliable young lady—how could she be a liar?

Moreover, the spirit body Kanon is another version of herself, so the two naturally have a sense of closeness and get along very well. The other party risked being beaten to death or maimed to lend his body to Kanon, so why would Kanon hide anything?

She wasn't lying; she really did use her trump card.

She simply kept it a secret and didn't tell the spirit Kanon the form of her special move.

In fact, Kanon had already been preparing for her ultimate move from the very beginning of the battle, and at this very moment, her ultimate move was being used on Yujiro!

...In the hospital, Hanma Baki opened his eyes and struggled to get up, but he couldn't feel his limbs and had no strength. He couldn't do it for a long time.

"Your arms and legs are broken, and you have a severe concussion. The doctor said you should rest. Here, let me help you." After waiting for a long time, someone finally came to take care of him. It turned out to be Kato Kiyosumi, a top student of the Shinshinkai. Tonight, he didn't join the battle between Yujiro and Kanon, but instead came here to take care of Baki. He really is a good friend of Baki.

Kato helped Baki sit up, and they saw that the TV opposite them was broadcasting a live stream of Kanon and Yujiro's fight. Baki's eyes immediately went straight to the screen, staring intently.

"Sigh..." Kato sighed. He knew all too well that Baki shouldn't see this scene, but as a martial artist, he couldn't bear to miss such a peak showdown while taking care of Baki. So he could only choose to broadcast it live by the hospital bedside. There was nothing he could do if Baki didn't like it.

All Kato could do was sincerely apologize, and then dare to do it again next time: "Sorry, this woman stole your chance to challenge Yujiro... but her fight with Yujiro was so exciting that I just couldn't help myself..."

"It's alright." After a moment of silence, Baki suddenly uttered an unexpected sentence in a soft voice.

This time, it was Kato who was shocked: "Huh? What did you say? You... don't blame her?"

“She is indeed more qualified than me to challenge Yujiro Hanma, if Yujiro Hanma is not a ‘father’ but represents ‘the strongest’.”

Baki closed his eyes, quietly sensing the injuries on his body, and recalling the scene of being easily defeated by Kanon just now.

It was so effortless, so nonchalant, so carefree... Kanon simply committed a brutal massacre!

“Perhaps even Yujiro…” Baki couldn’t accept it emotionally, but rationally he didn’t think of it. After his thoughts were in turmoil for a while, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: “Heh, I’m still not as good as them. Why bother to speculate on their victory or defeat? At least… until I figure out how to break that woman’s shock technique.”

That's right, Kanon's signature move, the one that once again made Baki Hanma lose confidence in this other timeline, is the shockwave!

At the end of the Song Dynasty, Hanon received Yang Miaozhen's advice on "sacrificing oneself to create momentum." After a battle with Shishio Makoto at the end of the Edo period, Hanon understood the meaning of "sacrificing oneself to create momentum": "Sacrificing oneself" is nothing more than having great courage, seeing through terror, and daring to take a step forward at the critical moment of life and death; while the more important "creating momentum" requires Hanon to cultivate a powerful killing move that can suppress the opponent and reverse the situation.

After much thought, Kanon came up with another battle from the late Edo period—the duel with the disgraced monk Anji.

Is it "double force"?

There is a connection, but it is not "double force". Do you remember when Kanon was ambushed and injured by Anji during the competition? At that time, Anji inserted a short blade into the ground and transmitted the power of "double force" to the enemy through vibration. When recalling it, Kanon captured the inspiration.

Vibration, a physical phenomenon that can affect everything, is ubiquitous. The human voice is the result of vocal cord vibration, and when a person's voice is raised higher, it can even damage a glass through resonance. Even stronger vibrations, such as a convoy of tanks passing over a bridge, can cause even a steel-reinforced bridge to collapse due to resonance!

Vibration... Kanon is no stranger to it. In the past, she was able to imitate other people's voices by precisely controlling the muscles in her throat, thereby affecting the vibration of her vocal cords. Now, she has a sudden inspiration and has discovered that the secret of vibration can also be applied to combat, not only to herself but also to others.

Her target wasn't muscles, but bones, because muscles and blood vessels are soft and elastic, which can reduce vibrations. On the contrary, bones are a rigid block that stands there, immovable and immobile; at the same time, their composition is fixed, mainly calcium carbonate, and there is no complexity like muscle training; finally, they support the body and connect internal organs and the brain, and vibrations in the bones can cause damage that the body cannot withstand.

This is a ready-made, high-quality target inside the human body! Normally, it is protected by muscles and is hard enough that only joint locks can directly attack the bones. But with Hanon, the human skeleton is as vulnerable as if it were defenseless in the face of the shockwaves she creates!

With her extraordinary talent, Kanon manipulates her muscles to create vibrations in her attacks, then projects these vibrations into her opponent's body, triggering resonance. This is the true nature of Kanon's "special move." It's a concept, an idea, not limited to any specific technique. "Razor" can do it, "Demon Spear" can do it, "Rakshasa Palm" can do it, and "Wild Breeze" can do it too. Punches and kicks can all bear these vibrations!

What Hanon needs to do is to figure out the opponent's physical condition, find the correct "resonance frequency" and attack position, and then send the vibration into the opponent's body... and wait for good things to happen.

Of course, the shockwaves that Kanon sends out still need to be transmitted through the opponent's skin, muscles, and blood. For opponents who can change these things, especially opponents like Yujiro who have limited control over their muscles, it is difficult for Kanon to figure out his strength in a short period of time.

Fortunately, firstly, Yujiro Hanma is not Hanon Hajime, and his control over his muscles is not at the level of complete mastery and omnipotence; secondly, resonance is a frequency band rather than a fixed scale, so Hanon has a certain margin of error; thirdly, Hanon has also incorporated the principle of "double force" into her attacks, first using ordinary attacks to trick the muscles into reacting, and then sending the vibration into the muscles that can no longer change, with the force penetrating all the way to the bones. Even if Yujiro sees through Hanon's intentions, it is not so easy for him to resist.

With these three advantages, Hanon felt confident tonight. She was certain that as long as she found the right frequency, she could blast Yujiro Hanma to smithereens!

Okay, blasting it to dust is impossible, but Kanon already has a plan to take down this "world's strongest creature".
