Besides, Kanon also has a powerful punch!
With two loud "bangs," Mutba covered his head with his hands, adopting a defensive stance, and took a punch and a kick from Hanon in succession. However, he found that the little girl opposite him, who seemed thin, had unbelievable strength. Even though he had achieved a perfect defense, he was still knocked back several steps, and his feet almost left the ground.
"Wow, that's incredible! This isn't an attack a woman could deliver!" Among fighters, Mutba isn't known for his physical prowess, but he's nearly two meters tall and weighs almost 250 kilograms. Years of training have given him immense strength, so it's truly unbelievable that he's at a physical disadvantage against Hanon.
“Sigh, I just hate this kind of unreasonable existence.” Mutba shook his head, but he was still full of confidence: “Again…”
Before Mutba could finish speaking, Kanon launched a new attack: "It's not a turn-based game, who's going to wait for you to finish!"
Fortunately, no one was around, otherwise anyone who witnessed this battle would have been shocked. Despite the significant difference in height and weight, Hanon's punches completely enveloped Mutba. On the contrary, Mutba, with his smaller stature and weight, was like a small boat in a stormy sea, struggling to survive in the ocean of heavy punches and trying his best to avoid being hit in vital areas.
"If only I had a knife," Mutba lamented. "With a knife, my opponent would be afraid of getting hurt and wouldn't be attacking so aggressively... But I don't have a knife... I only have this~"
While dodging, Mutba suddenly seized an opportunity, simultaneously striking Hanon's arms with his index fingers. Hanon immediately felt her arms go numb and limp, exclaiming, "It's pressure points! This guy knows pressure point techniques!"
In real combat, pressure points aren't as mystical as depicted in martial arts novels. Concepts like "true qi" or "battle qi" don't exist; after all, in real combat, you don't suddenly unleash a wave punch mid-fight. However, acupoints on the human body are not fictional. Traditional Chinese medicine calls them acupoints or meridians, while Western medicine refers to them as nerves and blood vessels—all within the realm of human anatomy. A successful strike can produce far greater effects than hitting other parts of the body, causing things like exhaustion, weakness, excruciating pain, or even death. Broadly speaking, acupoints can be considered a vital point on the human body.
As a seasoned mercenary, Mutba is a master at attacking vital points and has a profound understanding of acupoints and meridians. Although he was at a disadvantage in the exchange of blows, he was able to seize the opportunity to strike the acupoints, block the blood circulation in Hana's arm, and thus reverse the situation.
"Her hands are useless now, it's my turn!" Mutba attacked again, heading straight for the center, his finger pointing at Hanon's trachea... but nothing!
Mutba withdrew his attack halfway, so Kanon's "trap" failed.
Remember Hana's rhythmic muscle-activating and blood-circulating technique? That same technique can also deal with blood stasis after acupoints are sealed, so Hana's arm only lost strength for a moment, recovering completely in less than a second. She moved her arms back up and down to support the middle lane. If Mutba really used up all his strength in one move, then his arm would definitely be severed by Hana!
Unfortunately, Mutba was not infected.
The two were now very close when Mutba suddenly whispered, "You're Flavo Sander, aren't you?"
These words stunned Hanon, and in that moment of hesitation, Mutba unleashed his true killing move.
Because of his innate talent, Mutba discovered early on that Kanon was actually Flavor Sander, a fighter from Suoh Seigetsu, but he didn't reveal it. At first, he was too lazy to say it, and later, not telling President Togo felt like he was trying to rip him off. But when he finally fought Kanon, he used this secret as a trump card, revealing it at a crucial moment and launching a surprise attack by taking advantage of Kanon's shock.
Mutba is usually ruthless when he's "eating and drinking," but as one of the world's top mercenaries, his professional habits make him study the contestants' information more carefully than anyone else. So he was prepared for Kanon's charge at the beginning of the match. He also knew that Flavor Sander had been hit in the spine and then punched hard during the preliminaries, but she stood up as if nothing had happened. No matter what method was used, her ability to withstand blows was amazing. Although Mutba used "military combat techniques" to strike Kanon's pressure points, he did not think that this would completely cripple her hands. So he changed his move halfway through and successfully dodged the trap.
Mutba's real killer move is to pierce the heart.
A swift, penetrating strike to the lower chest, piercing through skin and muscle, and shooting straight for the heart through the gap between the ribs. It requires little force; even a slight impact is enough to stop the heart and kill the victim. This technique is not only powerful but also leaves no visible scars, and has been used as an assassination method since ancient China.
As a professional mercenary, Mutba's moves all target vital points, with Heart Piercing being one of the most effective. The moment he revealed Hanon's identity, Heart Piercing pierced Hanon's lower chest.
"No matter how resilient you are, your internal organs will never get any exercise!" Mutba, a veteran of many battles, showed no mercy when he struck, his hand piercing directly into Hana.
"Huh?" Mutba was stunned. His sense of touch told him that he had hit it, but experience told him that he had not hit a human body... No, at first, there was a moment when he felt flesh, but then what enveloped his finger turned into steel.
It's like a pair of pliers.
"Ouch—" Mutba cried out in pain, pulling his hand away and retreating. The first joint of the index, middle, and ring fingers of his right hand, which had been used to make the move, was broken.
Author's Note: Today's story is about my entanglement with the welfare guy, tomorrow will be about the group voting. I'll try to add a free chapter to talk about the group voting in the original Kengan manga~
Section 114, Chapter 113: What Can You Do to Me?
The pain was excruciating, but Mutba, having spent half his life fighting and bloodshed, was used to the pain. In addition, he was experienced and, after leaping far away, immediately assumed a defensive stance.
Mutba's actions proved to be absolutely correct, because just as he raised his arm, Hanon's charge was upon him.
"Bang!" Mutba was hit again, but fortunately he protected his vitals and did not fall down. He was able to retreat more than ten steps and get away from Hanon completely.
"Hoo..." At this distance, Hanon could not immediately launch a pursuit, so Mutba finally got a chance to catch his breath.
"I, Mutba, am 43 years old this year, and this is the first time I've encountered a woman with such a firm penis. Did you get your breasts done by a quack doctor and use fillers that shouldn't be used?" Unexpectedly, "Welfare Bro's" first words were a bit suggestive and even a little teasing, which eased the tension slightly.
Hanon was amused by Mutba and reached out to rub her chest: "You bastard, you really hit hard! Girls are very vulnerable!"
Mutba's heart-piercing strike was indeed a very powerful killing move. Against anyone else, even the most resilient fighter, it would likely be an instant kill. Unfortunately for him, he encountered the peculiar case of Kanon, whose unique physique had become a habit in battle. Whenever something shocking happened, Kanon would subconsciously tighten her muscles to increase her body's defense. Mutba's piercing hand initially managed to slightly penetrate Kanon's body, but Kanon, regaining her senses, immediately countered, using her "Indestructible Vajra" technique—extremely tense muscles—to break his knuckles.
Although she gained a slight advantage, she managed to swap out her opponent's most lethal move, giving Kanon a clear edge. Feeling confident she could defeat "Welfare Guy," Kanon started talking arrogantly...
"Pshaw, breast augmentation? Have you ever heard of Supergirl? I'm made of steel!"
“A girl who can be silly, you can say whatever you want.” Mutba shook his head.
After exchanging a few more words, Hana found that this person had an unexpectedly good personality, was very sensible, and not extreme. So she made a suggestion: "Well, you've taken advantage of me, and I've injured your finger, so how about we call it quits?"
Mutba smiled and said, "That won't do. I've already accepted the commission."
Hanon sighed helplessly, "Fine then, I guess I'll just have to keep bullying the disabled."
"Oh?" Mutba was taken aback: "You noticed?"
"After fighting for so long, your eyes haven't moved an inch. If I still can't tell you're blind, then I'm really bad at this."
Indeed, Mutba readily admitted, "Yes, I am blind. But even so, I don't think I can't complete the task."
Hanon shrugged: "What gives you your confidence? Is it the compensatory enhancement of your other senses after you went blind? Let me tell you, I still have many moves I haven't used yet!"
"Is it the Finger Razor that appeared during the qualifiers?" Mutba had obviously studied this move as well. "I admit you are very strong, especially in terms of your toughness. I haven't figured out the principle behind this move yet, but I know it is very effective against my vital points. In addition, I don't have an advantage in physical fitness or fighting skills, so my chances of winning in a head-on fight are not very high... But I am a mercenary, girl. It's nighttime now, and we're in an open outdoor area. If we fight a guerrilla war, I still have many ways to deal with you."
As he spoke, Mutba beckoned to Hanon with his finger: "Although you have gained a little advantage and have kept many trump cards up your sleeve, the advantage is still on my side. As long as you obediently tell me your identity and purpose, I will let you leave."
Hanon sighed, "I really went to the wrong place... What do you want me to believe me? As for my identity, I am Flavor Sander, that's all."
In fact, Kanon had also attended the banquet as the eldest daughter of the Takakaze family. Unfortunately, Mutba only made a brief appearance at the banquet before running back to his room to "eat," and failed to notice Kanon's other identity.
“To be honest, I’m starting to believe you,” Mutba said frankly. “But my employer probably doesn’t, and my gut feeling tells me that while you’re telling the truth, you’re not telling the whole story.”
"So you still want to fight?" Hanon raised an eyebrow. "Forget it, this fight is completely pointless! If you want to fight, wait until you catch up with me."
Hanon was indeed exhausted. After being cooped up in her room all day, she really wanted to go to the beach! If Mutba had insisted on a direct confrontation, the outcome would have been decided quickly. But instead, he opted for guerrilla warfare, which delayed things and ruined the night.
Thinking of this, Hanon ignored "Welfare Bro" and turned to run towards the beach. Mutba was stunned: "You really think you can escape the pursuit of me, the strongest mercenary?"
So, Kanon ran ahead and Mutba followed behind, and the two of them ran towards the beach.
The crowds on the beach hadn't dispersed yet; it was brightly lit, bustling with people, and there was a night market and food stalls—it was very lively. As more people gathered, Mutba decided it wasn't appropriate to chase after them openly, so he slowed down, blended into the crowd, and began searching for Hana's whereabouts.
"A clever girl, she used the smoke from the night market barbecue stalls to distract my sense of smell." Sniffing, Mutba could no longer smell Huayin's body fragrance, so he turned to his hearing to find Huayin.
The result was strange; Mutba's keen hearing allowed him to distinguish every person in the beach night market, yet there was no Huayin among them.
"Strange! No one left after she entered the market..."
Just as Mutba was puzzled, a "short and fat man" approached him. When he got close enough, Mutba was shocked to find that he could smell Hana's body fragrance again.
The short, stout man whispered, "Give up, mercenary. No matter how good your tracking skills are, you can only rely on your sense of smell and hearing. That won't do you any good against me."
Mutba reached out to grab Hanon, but missed, as Hanon nimbly dodged and disappeared into the crowd.
Soon, a tall old woman came over and said, "I told you you're not good enough. Let's call it a day."
Now Mutba understood: the girl could alter the distribution of her muscles to produce different sounds, deceiving his hearing. Combined with the influence of the environment on his sense of smell, he was truly helpless against her.
Unable to win in a direct confrontation and unable to find anyone for guerrilla warfare, Mutba mercenaries were feeling utterly powerless for the first time since entering the trade.
Then he laughed.
"Heh, okay, girl, I know you can hear me. Even if I lose tonight, I hope we can meet in the next match. I'll be ready with my 'eyes' then."
This "welfare guy" is indeed a good person, surprisingly carefree, leaving without hesitation.
After seeing Mutaba off, Hanon can finally enjoy a relaxing holiday on the southern beach!
Well, this relaxation only lasted half an hour before the night market closed up shop...
Author's Note: That's all for today's two updates. Below are some random thoughts about Brother Welfare; feel free to take a look.
The fight with Fuli-ge wasn't a life-or-death battle; it was more of a misunderstanding, a pointless fight. Kanon was incredibly strong yet cowardly, so Fuli-ge simply retreated. If the fight had continued, Fuli-ge would have had some new tricks up his sleeve, but Kanon had even more... In the original work, although Fuli-ge seems incredibly strong, his actual combat performance wasn't overly exaggerated, which is why most netizens rank him between 10th and 12th. As a mercenary, the arena isn't his stage. If he were to reappear in Omega, it's very likely he wouldn't be in the arena, and he might have a similar performance to the Park Headquarters.
Section 115, Chapter 114: The Battlefield of the Club Presidents
While Kanon and Mutba were fighting, Suoh Mieko also stepped onto her own battlefield.
That was a secluded hall on Yuanliu Island, where the presidents of the 32 companies participating in the main tournament gathered for the group meeting of the elimination rounds.
The obedient Mihoyo had been inside the house the whole time, so she was easy to find and well-behaved. Therefore, she was among the first group of people to arrive at the hall. However, unlike the oblivious Mihoyo, all the other club presidents looked solemn and preoccupied. Mihoyo stood awkwardly in the middle of the room, unable to join in the conversation.
It was Kirito Takakaze who pulled Miho out of the "awkward hell." Although he was quite unhappy that the Suoh family's little girl had "kidnapped" his niece, Miho was, after all, Kanon's close friend, so Kirito still went over and greeted her.
"Ah, President Takakaze, hello." Miho quickly responded, thank goodness, finally someone was willing to talk to her.
"Hmm..." Kirito responded, then put on a stern face and scolded, "You two girls are too reckless! Although Kanon is very strong now, there are too many monster-like strong people in the main competition. She is risking her life! I will definitely keep an eye on you two when we are divided into groups later. It is better to be eliminated by me, one of our own, than to be hurt by others."
“This…” Although Miho had also tried to dissuade Kanon from participating, through their long-term interaction, she understood Kanon’s feelings more deeply: “Kanon definitely doesn’t want you to do this; that child has always wanted to see more strong opponents…”
“You can witness the strength of a powerful person even at home.” Qieji said decisively, “No need for further words, this time I will not allow you to cause trouble under any circumstances.”
Miho, unusually assertive, declared, "I believe in Kanon and support her. I will do everything in my power to help her achieve her dream!"
Kirito snorted and turned to leave, but he felt no anger; instead, he was quite pleased: "Kane has made a good friend..."
Miho, unusually assertive, stood up to Takakaze Kirito, but then she didn't know what to do next.
Just then, she saw Kazuo Yamashita enter the house, looking equally bewildered. Miho quickly ran over to greet him, "President Yamashita, you're here too! Finally, I have an easy-going acquaintance."
Yamashita Kazuo was also very excited, as he was also feeling restless due to being unfamiliar with the place.
Kazuo and Miho huddled together for warmth, while the president of another company watched them silently from afar.
"Is that Mr. Yamashita Kazuo, the father of President Kenzo?" This "president" is an unremarkable, obese middle-aged man. He is nominally the BOSS of Yamashita Company, Masahiko Ota. However, there have always been rumors that the leader of Yamashita Company is someone else, and Ota is just a substitute. Judging from Ota's thoughts, it seems to be true.
"I heard that although Mr. Yamashita has only been in the Kengan Association for a short time, he is a rising force with great momentum. Isn't the person he is chatting with so cordially another 'supernova', President Suo of Suo Steel? The two of them are talking and laughing, they might be plotting a big event that will change the world. That's really amazing!"
Well, Kazuo and Miho got along very well, but they didn't talk about any "world-changing events." Instead, they were just two noobs exchanging their opinions.
Miho, having succeeded her father, had some understanding of the Kengan Association's power structure. She explained to Kazuo, "Under President Katahara, the Kengan Association's biggest power is the 100-member group led by Toyo Electric Power, a coalition of nearly 100 companies. There's almost nothing they can't do in Japan. Other powerful forces include the Three Heroes and the Four Dragons. The Three Heroes refer to Jinten and Mori Tokuri. There was another company there, but it went bankrupt long ago, so the title of 'Three Heroes' is no longer fitting, and they can only boast about their past glory... As for the Four Dragons, they refer to Hachitou Trading, Byakuya News, Furukai Pharmaceutical, and Nogi Group. They are all powerful companies with a long history and deep roots."
"Wow, President Nogi is so amazing!" Yamashita Kazuo exclaimed. Although he was someone President Nogi had recruited from one of his companies, he had no idea about the structure of the Kengan Association. After being educated by Mieko, a rookie president, he actually felt enlightened.
