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

Everything that happened before, and everything that is happening now, is for one goal, and as the battle continues, that goal... has been discovered.

"Bang!" Yujiro, who was in the middle of the battle, suddenly stopped. He had just been hit by a punch from Kanon. He had already taken countless attacks from Kanon in this battle, so he didn't have much of a reaction to such an ordinary punch. However, this seemingly ordinary attack was unexpectedly heavy, making Yujiro's bones ache and even causing him to lose his balance. Half of his body slumped to one side.

"Bingo~" Kanon could hardly contain her excitement. She had probably found the resonant frequency of Yujiro Hanma's bones!

Author's Note: Waaaaah, tonight I've sacrificed precious time with my girlfriend to write for you all (just kidding, actually it was just me). Anyway, I didn't sleep well on the train last night, and I've been feeling silly and listless all day. I'll struggle to write one more chapter and then go to sleep~

Kanon's ultimate move is a shockwave. I don't know if this explanation makes sense. I only suddenly remembered today that there seems to be a Tremor-Tremor Fruit in the One Piece world that I'm not very familiar with? Indeed, shockwaves are a powerful weapon in any world. Oda and I are thinking the same thing. Well, it's probably like Kobe and I combined for 82 points.

Chapter 924, Section 933: Tonight, the World is Number One

"Drink! Ha! Ada—" Taking advantage of his weakness, Yujiro was knocked off balance by Kanon's attack. Kanon didn't wait any longer and immediately followed up with three consecutive blows, striking Yujiro one after another.

Yujiro, who had just been knocked senseless by Kanon's powerful punch, dared not be careless when parrying again and could only raise his hand to block the three punches. He was a grandmaster in martial arts and had strong physical abilities, so there was no reason why he couldn't block these three punches. However, after taking the three punches, Yujiro's doubts grew stronger.

Even though those three punches were blocked, they still caused him considerable damage. He felt a sharp pain in his forearm bones, as if they were about to break. Even if they didn't break, there were definitely some minor fractures.

Before Yujiro could react, Kanon withdrew her hand and instead raised her lithe, beautiful leg, delivering a knee strike to Yujiro's dantian!

Yujiro intended to dodge or block, but due to a momentary hesitation and the pain in his body from being repeatedly struck by Kanon, his reaction was a fraction slower. Kanon, however, was still in "Valkyrie Mode," and her physical abilities were not much weaker than Yujiro's. In terms of agility, she was even better. Under the influence of various factors, Yujiro ultimately failed to defend against this blow and was hit hard in the abdomen by Kanon.

Along with the impact, Kanon's vibrations also entered Yujiro's body.

The shock traveled through the skin, muscles, and blood to Yujiro's hip bone. Because Kanon found the right frequency, Yujiro's hip bone resonated... It was truly fortunate that it was Hanma Yujiro; his bones were far stronger than usual, so he wasn't shattered! However, damage was inevitable, and Yujiro immediately lost sensation in his lower body.

Pain is nothing new to Yujiro. Even with the "world's strongest creature," the "giant monster," and the "demon," he still can't escape it and even enjoys it.

But the feeling of losing control of his body was something Yujiro was not familiar with.

He wanted to continue fighting the girl, but he couldn't control his legs. His consciousness and upper body were already activated, but his lower body seemed to be dormant, uncontrollable, causing Yujiro to fall to the ground.

"Yujiro... has been defeated?" Tokugawa Mitsunari was the first to exclaim, followed by Guji Doppo, Shibukawa Goki, Baki, Jack, Retsu Kaioh in front of the screen... and countless ordinary people and martial artists watching. Some of them knew what this meant, while others were confused, but everyone accepted the reality of Yujiro's fall and a thought arose in their minds: "Yujiro is at a disadvantage, he will be defeated!"

A being that has been hailed as the "world's strongest creature" for decades, dominating various rankings and inspiring fear even among the world's top powers, might actually fall tonight before a girl who hasn't even shown her face. It's truly a bittersweet feeling...

Of course, Yujiro himself didn't think so, and that was indeed the case. He had only suffered one defeat and was temporarily knocked down; he was still far from being defeated!

The shock technique was a great success. Just as Kanon was about to give chase, she felt the ground beneath her feet tremble. It turned out that Yujiro had fallen to the ground and stuck his hands into the ground. The hard cement floor was like tofu in front of him, and he could easily lift it up, even more easily than overturning a tatami mat at home.

The dust and debris flew up instantly, causing Kanon to be slowed down for a fraction of a second—that was enough time. In that time, Yujiro regained control of his body, not only getting up but also delivering a devastating punch to Kanon.

"A strike that kills gods"—even gods can be killed, let alone humans.

"Buzz—" Hanon unleashed "Lihentian" once again, managing to withstand Yujiro's fierce attack. As it turned out, "God-Slaying Strike" might not actually kill a god; it was helpless against the fairy outside Lihentian, and at least one strike was far from enough.

However, there was no chance to deliver another "god-like blow" to Yujiro. After Kanon gained the upper hand, this was Yujiro's "sacrifice to create momentum" in an attempt to reverse the situation. Unfortunately, the "momentum creation" failed, and the remaining "sacrifice" became suicide.

After the "Lihentian" defense succeeded, Huayin's counterattack came like a storm.

The simple strikes were just the "Exploding Core" technique that Kanon had mastered when she first started learning martial arts, but when combined with the principle of vibration, every move became deadly and every punch landed with flesh. It was extremely effective on Yujiro—and this was Yujiro! If it were anyone else, any single attack would be enough to break their bones and end the battle!

Even Yujiro Hanma, after being battered by a barrage of attacks, coughed up blood and knelt on one knee.

Kanon is really winning!

Gaining such an advantage is not something that Hanon can achieve simply by coming up with a sensational idea on a whim. It's like how many people in life say they can make a hundred million if given ten million, but in the end only one person actually does it because that person actually has ten million in capital. The rest are just daydreaming and talking big.

"Shock" was indeed a breakthrough point, making Kanon much stronger and giving her the possibility of defeating Yujiro. However, the success of "Shock" was based on Kanon's solid foundation training. "Lihentian" ensured that she was not knocked down by Yujiro while attacking, and her superb attack skills made it possible for Kanon to accurately find the vibration frequency of Yujiro's bones.

Nothing is accidental.

The battles against Pike and Musashi marked a period of transformation for Kanon, a time of accumulating experience and evolving. After a series of brief journeys through time, Kanon underwent another metamorphosis. Taking her battle with Yujiro as a catalyst, Kanon reassembled her various techniques, gaining strength surpassing that of other martial artists, including Yujiro. From then on, she broke through barriers, shattered chains, and soared like a dragon in the sky, unstoppable.

"Yujiro Hanma, now I will defeat you." In "Valkyrie Mode," Kanon's voice sounded ethereal and lofty, and her victory declaration was broadcast around the world via live stream.

Although we do not know her true identity, tonight Hanon's name will resound throughout the seven continents and four seas, and her existence will be deeply engraved in everyone's heart.

Despite his severe injuries, Yujiro struggled to his feet and charged forward again, a smile on his lips. After tonight, the loneliness brought on by his invincibility could finally end. Regardless of victory or defeat, the man before him was the best opponent he had ever faced in his life.

As for Kanon, she also stepped forward and launched an attack that transmitted shockwaves at Yujiro.

Yujiro is Yujiro after all. Kanon's strength is not much different from his, and even without the Shock Technique, Kanon is slightly inferior to him. However, with the Shock Technique, Kanon can use offense as defense and suppress him.

Everything was predetermined.

Because of his overwhelming strength, Yujiro Hanma had long been accustomed to being straightforward and unpretentious in his attacks, relying solely on sheer power to overwhelm everything, rendering any struggles from his opponents futile.

Therefore, his downfall will be similar, without any skillful tricks, only the suppression of power, no instant kill, only continuous decline, being overwhelmed and knocked down by the stronger party, no matter what he struggles, it will be useless.

After exchanging blows with Kanon—most of the time being suppressed and heavily attacked by Kanon—Hanma Yujiro finally succumbed to the shockwave-filled attacks and collapsed under the watchful eyes of the crowd, with a mix of regret, resentment, and relief.

Tonight, in another timeline, in another world, Hanon is crowned the best in the world.

Tonight, she is more qualified than anyone else to stand proudly under the starry sky.

Author's note: I hope Yujiro's defeat hasn't bothered you hot dog lovers...

We're going back to the modern era tomorrow. Aside from Musashi, what other unexpected twists and turns will the ending have?

I won't be back home until August 3rd. My schedule has been quite volatile lately, so it's hard to keep up with my update schedule. Please understand. This book probably only has less than a week left before it comes to an end... Uh, I've been saying that for a long time now.

Section 934, Chapter 925: Homesickness

Yujiro Hanma has fallen, and Kanon stands proudly under the starry sky. A new world number one is born!

The crowd cheered in unison, which seemed... somewhat vulgar.

Unfortunately, this battle was intense, of exceptional skill, and the outcome was important, but it was still an unremarkable fight. The two martial artists exchanged various unique techniques, one won, and the other lost; that was all.

If tonight's audience were witnessing a father-son battle between Yujiro Hanma and Baki Hanma, there would likely be many slow and paused moments. Some of their attacks wouldn't be aimed at each other's vitals. Rather than a decisive battle to the death, their fight is closer to a "father-son brawl," a communication of love, hate, joy, and anger. It would be clear to onlookers and resonate with the audience, making it far more thought-provoking than ordinary battles, no matter how exciting or intense the fight might be.

But now, people only see the battle between Kanon and Yujiro, and all they know is that the legendary strongest, Hanma Yujiro, fought a duel with a mysterious girl. The fight was very exciting and intense. In the end, the girl turned the tide and defeated the "giant monster" in one fell swoop. From then on, the title of "world's strongest creature" changed hands - unless the girl is a robot.

Well, because she's masked, Kanon's identity remains a mystery. This newly crowned "Number One in the World" is so enigmatic that she's even more intriguing than the battle itself!

“Yujiro was defeated… defeated by a woman… who is she?” Doppo Oji murmured to himself, lost in confusion. Beside him, Takeki Shibukawa was in a similar state.

Meanwhile, people around the world watching the battle on computers and televisions were equally puzzled: "Who is she?"

"He is a worthy opponent, an unparalleled powerhouse," said Kuroki Gensai, who was currently training with the Director in the United States.

Beside Kuroki were Rito and Takakaze Kirito. He stared at the screen, feeling a sense of confusion: "Why does he look so familiar?"

"Who is this girl? We'd better investigate." On his private island, "Purgatory" boss Izumi Toyota, while soaking in the large swimming pool, marveled at Kanon's power: "We should send Hayabusa... Oh, Hayabusa was just seriously injured and can't go. Heh, perfect opportunity to recruit this girl to fill the vacancy for an A-rank fighter~"

“Father…” Across the ocean, on this timeline, Jack Vanma was holed up in his Canadian home, surrounded by empty potions. Watching Yujiro collapse on the television screen, he was filled with shock and jealousy: “How could you lose to someone else first… I should have been the one to defeat him!”

Jack clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh and drawing blood, but he didn't care. He just silently vowed, "That woman... yes, that woman! I need to know who she is, and then defeat her, to prove to the world that I can also defeat Yujiro Hanma!"

Sigh, actually, although Yujiro was defeated, he's still alive. If Jack wants to prove he's surpassed his father, why doesn't he just challenge Yujiro directly? This is just a jumble of incoherent thoughts in his emotional state, triggered by Kanon's defeat of Yujiro, a complex mix of love, hate, and respect.

Compared to Jack, Baki was much more peaceful. He not only knew Kanon's true identity, but he had also personally experienced Kanon's shockwave attack and knew its unstoppable power.

Baki lay on the hospital bed and sighed softly, "As expected, even Dad is no match for her."

Kato Kiyosumi turned her head and was surprised to see a smile on Baki's face: "Baki, you...you haven't lost your mind, have you?"

“No, I’m perfectly lucid.” Baki winked at Kato. “I’m happy for my father, no, for Yujiro Hanma, the former ‘World’s Strongest Creature.’ Imagine, when he wakes up from his coma, the invincibility that troubled him, the invincibility that made him lonely, have all gone with the appearance of the mysterious girl. His goal is right in front of him. Wouldn’t life become more fulfilling?”

Just as Baki said, when the medical staff came in and carried Yujiro away, the man, despite having multiple injuries to his internal organs and bones, still had a faint smile on his lips.

"Who...who is she...?" Tokugawa Mitsunari's curiosity about Kanon's identity had lasted throughout the entire battle. He felt that he would die of worry from an explosion of curiosity before he died of cancer: "Why have I never seen or heard of such a strong person before? I...I want to ask who she is. I want to see more of her performance!"

This unconventional martial arts fanatic, who dedicated his life to watching martial arts and providing a stage for many martial artists to perform, suddenly felt a strong desire to live. Tokugawa, who had originally planned to pass away peacefully after watching the battle between the Hanma family father and son, was suddenly filled with a longing for life!

The spirit affected the body, and even the spirit Hanon floated to Hanon's side and whispered, "That old gentleman surnamed Tokugawa has a much stronger endocrine system, and the cancer cells in his body have been shaken. It seems that he won't die from the disease in the short term."

Hua Yin exclaimed in surprise, "You could even tell that?"

"Heh, the so-called superpowered beings are mysterious and profound, the gateway to all wonders~" The superpower level of the spirit Kanon is far stronger than that of Hina and Mao, whom Kanon had seen before. All her cultivation is in spiritual power, so much so that after she was freed from the shackles of the body, she was even more powerful as a spirit: "I can not only see the physical condition of Mr. Tokugawa, but I can even help him."

Unbeknownst to everyone but visible to Kanon, the spirit Kanon gracefully passed through Tokugawa Mitsunari's body several times. When she returned to Kanon's side, she proudly declared, "I have eliminated the activity of most of the cancer cells in his body. With treatment and his own willpower, I believe he will recover soon."

"You... will probably live longer than me." Hanon felt inferior; this was just too amazing!

She always believed that she could precisely control her muscles and maintain her body at its peak for a long time, even as she aged. Considering the examples of Guo Haihuang, Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Ludou, the red-belted old lady of the Mifune family, and the playboy grandpa of the Chujian family, Hana was confident that she could live to be 150 or 160 years old and break a world record or something.

But judging from the state of the spirit Kanon, it seems that physical life has almost lost its meaning for her...

The spirit Huayin laughed and said, "You have good talent, why don't you learn cultivation from me?"

"Pah, isn't my talent your talent too? Don't brag like that!" Hana retorted.

The two exchanged a few words of laughter in their minds, and then Hana suddenly said thank you: "Thank you."

"Hehe, you've already thanked me for lending you my body~"

"That's not what I meant... You just read my mind, didn't you?"

"Oh, as expected of my other self, you noticed so quickly." The spirit Hana chuckled. "I can't read minds, but I could sense that you were feeling down, so I said something to cheer you up."

It turns out that after defeating Yujiro and receiving the clichéd shock, worship, praise and cheers from thousands of people, Kanon also felt lonely in a clichéd way.

The loneliest thing is to be invincible. The previous strongest has just fallen, and the newly crowned strongest is already grieving...

No, it's not because she's invincible that she's lonely. Back when she was in the "Seeking the Way" segment of the Sea King Trial at the Martial Arts Province, Hanon once expressed her views on "the loneliest thing is being invincible." She has a wide range of interests, and besides martial arts and fighting, she has many other pursuits. It's just that being invincible in martial arts doesn't make Hanon sad.

What truly saddened her was that, after achieving the highest honor in martial arts, she suddenly realized that the people around her who were offering their blessings were all complete strangers.

Without lovers like Mihono and Garuda, without family like Takakaze Kirito and Ito Butler, without mentors and friends like Retsu Kaioh, Adam, Kaku Kaioh, and Kuroki Gensai, and even without recognizing people like Goji Doppo, Shibukawa Goki, and Tokugawa Mitsunari... this is the root of Kanon's loneliness!

She was homesick.

“Thank you,” she told the spirit Hanon. “I’ve calmed down now, let’s leave.”
