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

But before Garuda could even see who it was, a small, fair hand was already outstretched in front of it: "I'm fine, what about you?"

"Huh? She got up faster than me?" Garuda was somewhat surprised. "No, I didn't even knock her down..."

Looking up, I saw a girl with short hair (it seemed to be a wig) and a pretty face. She was about the same age as me. She was wearing loose long clothes and pants even on the tropical island of Yuanliu. She was really not afraid of the heat.

Despite her loose clothing, the girl in front of me didn't look like a heavyweight at all. She didn't even flinch after being hit, while only Garuda fell down.

"Oh, thank you." Garuda stood up, still a little dazed, as he took the girl's hand.

"...Hello, my name is Wu Jialouluo. Are you really alright?"

"Don't worry, I'm fine. My name is Ye Huayin."

The newcomer was none other than Kanon. Flavo was, after all, just a false identity; to avoid drawing attention, she needed to reveal her true form. Her loose clothing concealed the bruises and wounds from being struck by Setsuna in the previous battle. She hadn't expected to bump into Garuda so soon after running out… but thanks to the change of clothes, at least Garuda didn't discover Kanon's true identity.

Having been caught off guard by Garuda's sudden confession, Kanon was even less inclined to linger when they met face-to-face: "Um, I'm on my way to watch the match, so goodbye!"

After saying that, Hanon was about to leave, but she had only taken two steps when Garuda called out to her: "Please wait a moment."

"Huh?" Hua Yin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her identity had been discovered?

However, that didn't happen. Garuda just thought that wandering around in such a large arena wasn't a good idea, and maybe Flavo would go to the stands to watch the match after it was over.

"If you'd like, let's go to the stands together."

"Oh, oh..." With no reason to refuse, Hanon had no choice but to walk up to the stands with Garuda.

Seeing Miho and Adam, who had come to watch the battle earlier, from afar, Kanon gave them a subtle wink, stopping them from recognizing each other. The two, who were about to get up to greet them, sat back down.

"Why is Kanon with that love-obsessed girl?" Miho was completely confused and sat there speculating, losing all interest in watching the match.

Adam didn't care and looked at the arena with great interest. At this moment, She Xiang was introducing Yu Lei's opponent.

"The next contestant to appear..."

"He's the hottest kid in the Kengan Tournament! Roaring in battle, roaring in victory, this man shouts no matter when or where, and today, his voice will echo throughout the arena! 184 cm tall, 88 kg, a perfect record of 17 wins in the Kengan Tournament, and his company has received 200.969 billion yen in funding! The representative fighter of Dawn Village, the roaring fighting spirit, Yoroizuka Passane!"

"Haha ...

Accompanied by a loud, almost ear-piercing shout, a lithe figure leaped out of the entrance gate, the noise so great that even the microphone volume was drowned out.

"It's on! It's on! It's on!" This person was naturally Yu Lei's opponent, Passain: "Here comes the ultimate elimination round!"

"Wow, what an impressive aura!" From She Xiang, who was observing up close, to the general public in the audience, everyone was awestruck by this aura.

The only exception might be Passain's opponent, Zero Mikage.

"Drink up! Burn! Burn!" Passain shouted, raising his arms, while Yu Lei covered his ears: "It's so noisy, just burn yourself out..."

"The first match between Flavo and Kiryu Setsuna was fantastic, and the second match was another intense battle like this. The elimination tournament is amazing!" one viewer exclaimed.

However, his companion corrected him, saying, "Hehe, this match is not just a simple battle of passion."

"what do you mean?"

"I've watched Yu Lei's debut match, and I've also watched many of Passain's battles. These two might just be a clash between the sharpest spear and the strongest shield..."

After both players took to the field, Katagarasu Kaname also went up to the commentary booth, with Jerry Tyson still by her side. This overly friendly guy seemed to really think of himself as a guest commentator...

Referee Yamamoto signaled for both sides to prepare, raised his arm, took a deep breath, and finally swung the baton sharply: "The match begins!"

"Boom!" Before the referee could even finish uttering the word "beginning," Yu Lei Ling had already struck Pasain.

Section 129, Chapter 127: Li Wei Fights Thor

what is that?

The entire arena was in an uproar. Almost no one understood what had happened. It took a couple of seconds for them to realize that it was Yu Lei's lightning-fast attack, which had smashed a punch into Passain's head.

"Hit! And it's in the head!" The audience who had been discussing earlier were shocked: "A one-second kill! This time is probably too fast even to be measured with a stopwatch. Yu Lei is too fast... At this rate, Flavor Sander's one-second knockdown record will be broken, right?"

"Hehehe, you're really young and naive," his companion mocked. "Watch closely, the important part is coming up."

His lightning strike, aimed directly at the enemy leader and striking Passain's vitals, seemed to seal the victory. He intended to withdraw his attack, then search the stands for Flavor Sander, intending to demonstrate his power to the troublesome fellow and show him that he was the faster warrior. However…

"Is there a gust of wind?" Yu Lei instinctively sensed danger and quickly leaped away to dodge. Sure enough, just as he dodged, Passain's high kick grazed past him, the force of the wind even cutting Yu Lei's cheek.

Yu Lei was taken aback, not because of the power of Passain's kick, but because he hadn't been knocked down.

It's not just that he wasn't knocked down; Passain yelled and kept attacking, completely unaffected!

"A wonderful battle of offense and defense." She Xiang reported from the commentary booth: "Yu Lei's speed and Passain's toughness make for a very interesting duel."

Jerry nodded: "That's right. I looked up information about Raishin-ryu before the match. Legend has it that this is a martial art passed down by the Japanese god Takemikazuchi. Those who master Raishin-ryu can transform into lightning and wield power like the god of thunder. However, this martial art is very mysterious and has long been used as an assassination technique. Its moves, power, and characteristics are all unknown. We were only able to confirm just now that it is indeed a lightning-fast fist technique, extremely fast."

“I see~” She Xiang chimed in, “On the other hand, Passain has participated in many Kengan matches, so his fighting style is quite transparent…”

Jerry flipped through the documents on the table: "Is it Liwei in Myanmar?"

She Xiang clapped her hands: "That's right, it's Burmese Riwei! The fighter Passain is Burmese. He's thirty years old and the son of the famous fighter Papain from the Showa era. He's also the younger brother of the powerful fighter Newin Papain, who suddenly died after a fierce battle two years ago. Passain lives in Dawn Village in Kyushu. Because Burmese people don't have surnames, he adopted the surname of the village chief, Yorozuka, for convenience."

"Yes, I know about Riviera. It's an ancient martial art with a history of over a thousand years. It shares many similarities with Muay Thai, but it's even wilder and more ferocious. Because it allows strikes to vital areas like the spine and head, and it's unarmed combat, Riviera fighters often choose to launch relentless attacks while simultaneously training their bodies to the limit, using their bodies to withstand all attacks..."

“Yes, so Passain’s greatest strength…” She Xiang raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead: “The strongest defense of the inner guard is also the strongest attack, right here, in the head!”

"Heh, it seems that choosing to attack the head was a mistake. Passain is the kind of guy whose fastest knockdown record is impossible to break!"

With a question-and-answer session, Sheath and Jerry quickly explained Passain's fighting style. This was primarily aimed at the audience; most of the fighters present were well-informed and had paid even a little attention to Passain or Riven, knowing the power of his headbutt.

“That guy’s headbutt is no joke; it’s quite threatening in close combat.” Izumi Hatsumi was also watching silently. “Well, anyway, both of them are in the first zone, so I don’t have to worry about anything.”

"Another guy who's good at headbutting..." Ren Nikaido's nose started to sting again.

"In close combat, Passain has the advantage!" More concerned about this battle than the others was boxing champion Gaolang. He and Passain were old acquaintances with a very deep bond. They were always together when they were on the Kengan.

However, precisely because of his concern and familiarity with the situation, Gaolang understood even more how difficult this battle would be: "But even so, it will still be very difficult for Passain to win..."

As expected, while Passain's defense was incredibly strong, the opposing Mikage Zero was also a master of lightning-fast attacks. After getting familiar with Passain's attacks, the situation quickly turned into Mikage Zero surrounding Passain and launching a fierce assault.

Indeed, Yu Lei was "surrounding" Passain. He used a certain movement technique, as if he had transformed into countless forms, circling around Passain, making it impossible for Passain to find Yu Lei's true form, and making many viewers wonder if they were seeing things.

"This is..." In the rest room of Motorbike Head, Takakaze Kirito and Kuroki Gensai had been having a drink there instead of going to the open-air stands to watch the game.

When it wasn't about Kanon, Kirito remained remarkably calm and wise: "I remember the previous leader of the Raishin-ryu sect..."

“Yes, his father died at my hands.” Kuroki took a big gulp of wine. “Lei Xinliu is very strong, but he is not without weaknesses.”

But Qieji's focus was clearly not on that: "Hmm, so will Kanon be able to beat him in the next round?"

My niece's safety is definitely the most important thing!

Kuroki smiled wryly; his old friend's obsession with his children was incurable.

“This still needs to be observed.” Kuroki turned to the screen: “Right now, he’s using a technique called ‘Dream Steps,’ using movements of varying speed to confuse his opponent and look for an opportunity to unleash the Thunder Heart Style’s trump card…”

"Lightning Flash!"

Suddenly, Yu Lei attacked. Passa roared and assumed a defensive stance, but completely misjudged the direction and was struck from behind by Yu Lei.

At the same time, Kuroki's finger left a small hole on the bar counter in the lounge, which was his estimate of the speed of the Thunder Control activation time.

"Is this the maximum speed of his 'Lightning Flash'..." Kuroki told Kirito, "Compared to his father, Zero is still a bit lacking."

Kirito was delighted: "So, Kanon, she..."

Kuroki nodded: "If this is all the speed of the lightning control is, then Kanon can definitely handle it."

No need to mention Kanon, Passain would also work!

This time, Yu Lei did not target Passain's head, but instead aimed for his spine—unfortunately, the spine was also a key defensive area for the Burmese guards.

"Drink!" Passayin retaliated with a counterattack, but Yu Lei dodged it again. But this did not make Yu Lei happy at all: "Tch, even your spine is so strong."

While marveling at the hardness of Passain, Yu Lei did not let up in his attack, delivering another heavy punch, this time targeting Passain's ribs.

Still no effect!

Passain turned around and delivered an elbow strike, but Yu Lei dodged it again.

While Passain appeared to be on the defensive throughout the game, he showed no signs of being outmatched in terms of momentum.

"To withstand enemy attacks and then seize the opportunity to counterattack... What a tough, manly fighting style!" Everyone watching exclaimed sincerely, and it has to be said that Passain's fighting style is really "captivating".

"Kill again!" Passain's roar grew louder and louder, and the battle eventually became a stalemate.

Author's Note: This battle is somewhat related to Hanon, so I'll write a few chapters about it. Some of the later matches might be covered in one or half a chapter. In short, I'll leave it to fate. It wouldn't be very interesting to just describe the protagonist's battles, would it? I hope everyone understands.

Also, Pasain's father is named Papain. The way Japanese manga names Burmese people is a bit too casual!

Section 130, Chapter 128: Headbutt

Seeing Passain constantly being attacked by Yu Lei, yet still trying to fight back, the audience was naturally thrilled, shocked by Yu Lei's power, and also impressed by Passain's tenacity.

As for the fighters, they had different opinions.

"Tch, it's all trash." Wu Lei'an, who was always arrogant, continued in his usual style, showing great disdain for the battle.

Passain's "good buddy" Gaolang, based on his understanding of Passain, concluded: "Passain's current win rate... is higher!"

As for Kanon, her phone buzzed twice. When she opened it, she saw a text message from Miho: "What do you think of this match?" It turned out that Miho was a little jealous of Kanon and Garuda being together.

Hana's fingers flew across the keyboard as she replied, "It's alright, none of them should be too difficult for me to handle."

Now, Hanon can confidently say that. Although the speed of her lightning manipulation is fast, it is still within her control, and she has several ways to deal with it. As for Passain... Hanon's attack power has been the most reassuring aspect of her since she started practicing martial arts.

No defense is impenetrable; prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat! This is a truth in martial arts, and Hana understands this, as do many other martial artists, including Yu Lei.

So even though Yu Lei couldn't break through after a long attack, he didn't hesitate or get anxious at all. He just kept hitting and used his speed to "torture" Pasain.

Of all martial arts techniques, none are invincible except for speed!
