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

"Tch, looking down on people like that, it's really annoying..." Hanon felt slightly dissatisfied, which was also the sentiment of many people who were unwilling to be inferior to others.

"Old fox, this time I'm going to bring you down!" President Nogi, standing in the crowd, was more ambitious than anyone else.

These thoughts were merely voices lingering in his mind; in reality, only Pianyuan Miedang spoke in the hall.

"I'm sure you've all been waiting! Now, I'll be announcing the upcoming schedule."

Author's Note: This is the third update today~

Section 102, Chapter 101: Hidden Dangers

The sound of the film source echoed, and although there were more than a thousand people gathered in the hall, they could only hear him speaking.

"The arrangements for this elimination tournament are simple in the short term. We will arrive at the 'battleground' in about 27 hours."

"Twenty-seven hours? Where are we going?" The crowd below finally stirred slightly.

"Hey, are we going abroad?"

“I prefer Hawaii…” Matsuda, the secretary of the Royal Sakura Academy, murmured. This girl is young and seems to have a rather silly and adorable personality, which is in line with the usual style of young women at the Royal Sakura Academy.

"Quiet down..." Just as Matsuda was letting her thoughts wander, her boss, Soryuin Shion, stopped her: "The chairman of the film source association hasn't finished speaking yet."

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the chairman of the film source continued, "After arriving at the decisive battle site, please have all members of the Kengan Association who are participating in the main competition register your own fighters. After the registration is completed, the elimination tournament will begin."

Although the chairman's words seemed reasonable at first glance, a few smart people had already realized the deeper meaning behind them.

"Hmm..." The squinty-eyed man, who had just won a series of shogi games, clenched his fist: "This is an opportunity!"

At this point, the chairman of the film source association had already left. His last words were: "Fighting between contestants in the main competition is strictly prohibited on this ship. Violators will be punished by my guards. That's all I wanted to say. Everyone, continue to enjoy your journey."

With narrowed eyes, he casually slapped a chess piece down: "Since the tournament is arranged this way, I can't miss the opportunity. Farewell... Oh, by the way, I've already got checkmate."

"What?!" Yamashita Kazuo, who was playing chess with the squinty-eyed man, clutched his head and wailed, "It's over! I've already lost 80,000 yen!"

Squinty-eyed is a smart man, and he's not the only smart man in the hall.

When the banquet ended, President Nogi saw Shion Souin.

"Chairman of the Soryuin Board of Directors, it's been a long time."

"Hoo." Taking a deep drag of her cigarette, Ziyin said calmly, "Let's skip the pleasantries, Nogi... you've noticed the problem with this arrangement, haven't you?"

"As expected of Shion Sora, you noticed that." President Nogi praised, "So, are you going to take action?"

Ziyin waved her hand: "I don't have any ambition. Taking care of my own fighters is enough. As for you..." After staring at Nogi for a while, Ziyin shook her head: "You who initiated the Deathmatch must have been prepared a long time ago. It's not your style to start now."

"Thank you for the affirmation." Nogi had a confident expression on his face: "However, there are quite a few ambitious people in the Kengan Association. It's sure to cause a lot of waves in the future!"

That's right, after returning to her room following the banquet, Hanon was preparing to "ride the waves"!

"Um, Kanon, wouldn't it be better if we just rested in the guest room? We're already very tired today." Suoh Mieko looked at Kanon with surprise. At that moment, Kanon was changing clothes, transforming from the young lady of the Takakaze family back into the speed fighter Flavor Sander.

"I'm going out for a stroll and to see what's going on. I changed into men's clothes so I could be more prepared for any unexpected events," Hana comforted her. "You don't need to come with me. Just go back to your room and rest."

"But...it's so late, what kind of excitement is there to see?"

Hanon shook her head. Miho, that silly girl, really doesn't use her brain.

"Didn't I learn from the food thieves in the forest that there would be a rule for vying for spots in this deathmatch?"

Miho nodded: "Yes, I remember... Huh? Kanon, you mean it's time to fight for the preliminary round spots?"

"Of course!" Seeing that Miho hadn't reacted yet, Kanon had no choice but to patiently explain to her: "Just now, the chairman of the Katahara Association said that the fighters from each company can only register after arriving at the final battleground. This means that before that, the number of fighters is not fixed and can be changed. He also prohibited private fights between fighters, which is obviously giving outsiders who are not participating in the main competition the opportunity to snatch up the spots."

Miho suddenly realized, "Ah, I see!" But she immediately became worried, "Then, Kanon, aren't you also in someone else's hunting range?"

Hanon, however, was unconcerned: "Relax, ordinary people can't do anything to me. Besides, if I really lose my spot in the competition, I can only blame myself for not being good enough."

After settling Miho into a guest room to rest, Kanon, dressed in men's clothing, began to wander around the Kengan.

Slightly unexpectedly, the night was very peaceful, and the large-scale battle that had been expected did not occur. Perhaps it was because it was too late and the banquet had exhausted everyone's energy, so most people on the ship went straight back to their rooms to rest.

Well, some people just went back to their rooms but didn't rest...

They were all big business owners, and it was rare for them to come out for a "vacation." Many of them were exercising in their rooms late at night. Some of them made so much noise that it went through the rooms and into the hallway, making Huayin blush with embarrassment.

Passing through a particularly loud corridor, she looked up and saw that it was the guest room of Ruoying Life. Hana spat out, "Pah, that guy Aguya has such a dead fish face, turns out he's a scoundrel too!"

As soon as Hana landed after her quick escape, she heard the same sound coming from the room next door. Looking closer, she realized it was a guest room at Golden Entertainment.

"Hehe, so it's Sasuke and Sakura." Hanon's face turned even redder, not from embarrassment, but from anger. These social butterflies are so annoying! Don't they care about the rights of single people at all?

"Where's my torch? Where's my torch?" Just as Hanon was about to set a fire at the door, deciding that even if she couldn't burn these popular guys, she would at least smoke them out, she heard another "pop pop pop" sound.

This time it wasn't indoor exercise, but a proper martial arts match. Judging from the frequency of the "slap slap slap" sounds, the two fighters were quite fast!

Following the sound, Hanon ran and turned through two corridors, where she saw the two sides fighting: Himuro Ryo, the representative fighter of the Yoi-no-kuni bookstore, and the squinty-eyed man who was very good at shogi.

The two had already exchanged blows several times. Himuro adopted a stance similar to a boxer, his body constantly bouncing slightly, advancing and retreating with ease. As for his opponent, the squinty-eyed man, he had clearly been hit several times, with a bloody nose and several bruises on his face.

"Kinda Suekichi!" Himuro, no longer the frivolous and handsome man he was at the banquet, coldly mocked his opponent: "Have you realized the gap between us? A guy like you, thinking of taking my arena spot? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Hehe, Mr. Himuro, you're really amazing." The squinty-eyed Kaneda Suekichi was quite frank: "I originally thought you were left-handed, but it turns out that's not the case. Your right fist is even faster... I couldn't defend against it again just now."

“However!” Kaneda changed the subject: “I’ve also seen through your background, Mr. Himuro. You’re using Jeet Kune Do, aren’t you?”

There will be another chapter tonight~

Chapter 103 Chapter 102: Canxin

Jeet Kune Do is a martial art founded by martial arts master Bruce Lee. It incorporates features of Western boxing and kickboxing into the foundation of traditional Chinese boxing. Its characteristics are unpredictability and emphasis on speed. It uses techniques such as back stances, straight punches, and vital point attacks to try to defeat the enemy in one move. Its ideal time to win is only six seconds. It is a fighting technique that fully implements the idea of ​​"knocking down the enemy as quickly as possible".

Himuro was quite surprised that Kaneda had exposed his true nature so quickly: "This guy has amazing observation skills. Did he see through my shift in weight in such a short time? Or does he know Jeet Kune Do techniques?"

Indeed, Kaneda possesses exceptional observational skills, but despite this, the gap in strength between him and Himuro remains insurmountable.

"Keep it up," Himuro said coldly. "You don't need to hold back. You can surrender whenever you want."

"Hehe, Mr. Himuro, you are such a kind person, but please allow me to refuse."

Having been hit repeatedly and being physically weak, Kaneda was already showing signs of exhaustion. However, he neither surrendered nor attacked, but simply adopted a defensive stance.

"Not planning to attack? I told you before that if I couldn't finish you off in a minute, I'd give up my spot as a duelist. You really intend to drag this out?" Himuro scoffed. "How naive!"

Since Kaneda did not attack, Himuro did not defend either, and his powerful and even faster fists rained down on Kaneda.

"Pat pa pa..." Kaneda tried his best to defend, but the effect was not ideal. He would probably take two or three punches out of every ten. Just as he said, if he were to be attacked a few more times, he would inevitably face defeat.

"Boom!" Amidst the barrage of punches and kicks, Himuro even unleashed a powerful knee strike, which was so heavy that Kaneda fell to his knees.

"Hey, hey, hey, Himuro, you've gone too far!" The boss of Yoshinobu Bookstore, President Oya, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked. This drunken uncle was slovenly and disheveled, but he was ultimately a kind-hearted person.

Suddenly, the president of the Ōya Company felt someone pat his shoulder. He quickly turned around and saw a strange man who was not tall, with his hat brim pulled low and his face wrapped in bandages.

"Ah, you are...you are Flavor, the fighter from Suoh Seigetsu!" President Oya is a veteran of the Kengan Association and a passionate fan of the Kengan matches. He has done research on Flavor, the creator of the fastest knockout record.

Kanon didn't speak, but looked at Himuro and shook her head.

The president of the Ōya was a little confused, and it took him a while to react: "You mean... Himuro isn't ruthless enough?"

That's right, that's what Kanon means.

Although she was an ordinary person before she transmigrated, and although she was not a bloodthirsty and violent madman, as a martial artist, Kanon had already understood the "Zanshin" in martial arts from Shindo Kotaro and the Judo Club during the Tsurumine Academy Judo Tournament.

The saying goes, "Hold your temper before you strike, and strike without mercy." When martial artists clash, they must maintain a "residual spirit" until their opponent is completely incapacitated. This doesn't mean relentlessly slaughtering the enemy until they lose consciousness, but rather maintaining constant vigilance and the resolve to unleash swift and decisive action when necessary. Just like when Kanon fought Akoya, she initially hesitated because he was a police officer. However, with no way to escape and only able to fight, Kanon's powerful punches and razor-like strikes showed no mercy. Her final move, inserting her fingers into Akoya's ribs and using the force to throw him to the ground, was relentless and left no room for retreat.

Kanon could easily see that Himuro's strength far surpassed Kaneda's, but she noticed that Himuro's fighting attitude was problematic. He seemed to be attacking fiercely, but he was always hoping that Kaneda would give up because he couldn't take the pain. For example, after his knee strike succeeded, he didn't pursue him but stood there stupidly and continued to taunt him, showing a serious lack of vigilance.

"This is suicidal; Himuro might just capsize."

Kanon made this judgment, and it was quickly proven true. Kaneda struggled to his feet, threw a punch that actually broke through Himuro's blockade and hit him in the face.

"Oh dear, wasn't I attacking?" Kaneda chuckled, mocking Himuro, who looked a little dizzy after being slapped in the face.

"Don't get too cocky!" Himuro roared, unleashing another barrage of rapid punches.

"This guy is pretty good." Hanon, who was watching from the sidelines, silently compared herself to Himuro: "Especially the speed of his punches. With such fast attacks, I might not be able to block them all. I'll probably take a few punches... but it's not a big problem."

Hanon's fingers trembled behind her back as she calculated Himuro's movements: "The frequency is quite fixed, it seems his martial arts skills aren't high enough. The reason he can launch such fast attacks, besides his physical abilities, is that he practices a fixed routine." Soon, Hanon became familiar with Himuro's rhythm: "This attack is too easy to predict!"

Yes, Jeet Kune Do itself doesn't emphasize routines, but Himuro's attacks need to maintain maximum speed, so the trajectory of his punches is very fixed, with only a few routes he's most familiar with. Having a predictable pattern means having an opportunity to strike. Amidst Himuro's fierce attacks, Kaneda also caught his punches, and in the gaps, he countered with a few punches, actually making Himuro stagger.

Finally, Himuro became completely enraged and launched his fiercest attack on Kaneda. Kaneda was immediately overwhelmed and trapped in a desperate situation.

"Pfft!" During his fierce attack, Kaneda was suddenly punched in the kidney and vomited, which also created an opportunity for Himuro to win: "This is the end!"

That's right, it's over now.

As Himuro threw a punch, Kaneda's narrowed eyes flashed with a sharp light. He slightly turned his body to dodge Himuro's swinging fist, then used both hands to hold Himuro's arm in place and pressed down with all his strength.

"Crack." Ice Chamber fell to the ground, his arm... broken.

"Hiss—" President Oya and Kanon both gasped at the same time; it looked painful.

Despite his severed arm, Himuro struggled to his feet and stubbornly charged at Kaneda. Unfortunately, he was too slow to realize his mistake, and Kaneda possessed a resolute and unyielding spirit. Soon, Himuro was struck repeatedly by Kaneda, losing his arm in the process. The intense pain caused his movements to become chaotic, putting him in a passive and defensive position.

In the end, Himuro was hit by Kaneda's "ultimate move" again, and was knocked to the ground by his chin.

Red-hot streamer, fishing bottle drop!

Despite being hit hard again, Himuro tried to get up, but this time Kaneda didn't give him the chance.
