"Whether it succeeds or fails, it all depends on this move!"

The answer is... no.

Having already observed the area once, Hiyama anticipated the movement of the cosmos and relayed the information to Akoya. Akoya promptly withdrew, avoiding the cosmos's locking technique on his arm, while simultaneously flexing his muscles with his other hand and slamming it into the cosmos's face.

"Hit in the head!"

Amidst the cheers of the commentators and the audience, Imai Kosou was struck in a vital spot and was sent flying, losing consciousness.

"The outcome is decided! The victor is Kiyoaki Aguya!"

Author's Note: Well, this match didn't end up with the famous scene of "I'm the strangulation king Imai's cosmos! Aaaaaaaah!"

Flipping through the manga, it's clear that both sides observed each other's fighting styles during the first round. It was only before the second round that Nishihamaji investigated Hiyama's abilities, disrupting her synergy with Akoya, leading to Akoya's loss of control and the subsequent series of events. If Hiyama and Akoya had continued to work together, even their domains could have been broken.

Regarding Xiaoyu and Aguya, they will both have opportunities to appear in battles in the future. The author has already vaguely arranged for them to do so, so please look forward to it.

Section 136, Chapter 134: Six Years of Undefeated Streak

The match was over, and Aguya strode back to the gate, where Hiyama Shunka was already waiting.

"Aguya! Congratulations on your victory!"

Unfortunately, instead of her lover's praise, she received a cold look that seemed to freeze her completely.

"Although I finally managed to break through Imai's cosmos domain, I'm still somewhat disappointed in you..." Akoya's voice was as cold as his eyes: "The first time, you didn't anticipate Imai's movements in time, which allowed him to lock me down, and I almost lost the match. If that happens again, there will be no next time..."

Hiyama lowered his head, dejectedly admitting his mistake: "Yes, I know... I'll definitely do it next time..."

“Sigh, Imai Kosei has over twenty Kengan matches under his belt, yet you still can’t figure out the pattern of his movements. Whether it’s Inaba Ryo or Tokita Ohma in the next round, they are both fighters with few matches to their name, so it will probably be even more difficult…” Akoya’s attitude finally softened: “I understand your difficulties.”

“Akoya…” A blush appeared on Hiyama’s face. Akoya’s simple affirmation and size made her very excited.

Encouraged, Hiyama said enthusiastically, "It's okay, we'll observe carefully in the next match, and I'm sure I can figure out Inaba and Tokita's rhythm!"

Aguya nodded: "That's exactly right, it's all for our justice!"

And so the couple with their strange relationship walked hand in hand toward the stands.

As for the other fighter, Imai Kosou, he was badly ravaged by Aguya Kiyoaki's heavy punches and lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up. He was then carried to the infirmary.

The infirmary, where people were initially somewhat unfamiliar with each other, fell into a moment of silence after the competition ended.

"As expected, Aguya is the winner." Kanon broke the silence first: "The two of them are too different in physique."

Yingchu chimed in, "That's true. Size differences are a real factor, and when skill levels are similar, that becomes the key to victory."

Upon hearing this, Nurse Yoshizawa, who was standing nearby, became a little worried: "If small fighters are at a natural disadvantage, then, Doctor, your opponent, Yohei Bando, seems to be quite large, doesn't he?"

Garuda, who was standing next to her, picked up the conversation: "Relax, Kokoro, as long as you're strong enough, size doesn't really matter~" As a woman from the Wu clan, Garuda's martial arts skills were also extraordinary. Hearing her say this, Kokoro Yoshizawa felt a little more at ease.

"My 'darling,' though small in size, is stronger than them all," Garuda proudly proclaimed.

Yingchu smiled: "That's right, Flavor Sander is indeed a mysterious guy. I really want to dissect him and see... But there are so many strong fighters in the Final Elimination Tournament. If I send one or two people to the infirmary every match, I'm afraid I'll be too busy to handle them all~"

Soon, Imai Kosuke was carried into the infirmary, where Hideaki began to bandage him. Meanwhile, the fourth match was about to begin, and everyone's attention was focused on the big screen again.

With a buzzing sound, Hanon's phone vibrated twice. She picked it up and saw that it was Mihono worrying about her.

"That little girl didn't realize who you are, did she? Stop guarding her and come meet me on the platform!"

Huh? Does Miho's tone sound a little sour? Kanon vaguely sensed it. Could it be... that Miho is jealous?

Well, she had indeed spent quite a while with Garuda, and it was time to talk to Miho and the others. Kanon greeted everyone and then went back to the stands.

On the side of the stands, Miho didn't notice Kanon's return; instead, she was calling over a ticket seller.

"What are you doing, Miho?" Kanon asked curiously.

"Place a bet~" Miho pouted: "It's all because you're never here, Kanon. I'm so bored, so I can only bet on the outcome."

Hanon gasped. Gambling can kill people. Miho had only just paid off her debts, and she was already squandering money.

However, Miho herself didn't have such high awareness. Instead, she excitedly pointed to the big screen and said, "Kane, look, the odds for this match are so different!"

As expected, on the big screen, Inaba Ryo's odds were only 1.14, while Tokita Ohma's odds were as high as 8.10, which meant that the vast majority of people favored Inaba to win...

Kanon was puzzled: "If I remember correctly, didn't the information say that this is Inaba's first time participating in the Kengan Tournament? Why is he being favored so much?"

Miho tilted her head, looking incredibly cute: "Hmph, Kanon, you just don't understand~ I recently collected and organized a lot of information about the Kengan Association, including Penasonic. That company is an incredibly strong company that hasn't lost for six whole years~"

"Six years undefeated!" Hanon was even more surprised. Judging from this record, Penasonic is indeed an extremely powerful company!

When Mihono talked about this, her eyes sparkled: "Yes, in the past six years, Penasonic has been one of the most prestigious companies in the Kengan Association. Its biggest feature is that it never uses fixed fighters. The company has the most fighters among the Kengan Association companies, with 31 fighters. President Urida uses his superb analytical ability to select suitable fighters to fight, which always has a miraculous effect in restraining the enemy."

Shaking the betting tickets in her hand, Miho proudly said, "Although I feel very sorry for Mr. Yamashita, I think Penasonic will still win this time. The Inaba Ryo they found might be the one who can restrain Mr. Ohma. I also bet a lot of money on Inaba to win."

Looking at that huge stack of gambling tickets, Hanon felt a dampness creep down her back...

"Even though you say that, we haven't seen Inaba fight before. Isn't it a bit presumptuous of us to place such a large bet on him?"

The fourth match was about to begin, and Katagarasu once again stepped down from the commentary booth to guide the players from both sides onto the field.

"Now, please welcome the fighter of the fourth match to the arena!"

"This man who has stirred up a storm in the Kengan Association may be the key figure in the elimination rounds. His background is a mystery, and he is causing waves in the Kengan arena! He is 182 cm tall, weighs 85 kg, has a record of 3 wins and 0 losses in Kengan matches, and his company has received 15.414 billion yen in funding. He is the representative fighter of Yamashita Trading Company, Ashura, Tokita Ohma!"

"Hehe, Mr. Ohma always looks so handsome~" Mihoyo's face was full of smiles: "But it's a pity, so please lose the match quickly, hehehehe..."

Hanon sighed, thinking, "This girl's gotten a bit too cocky lately."

Katahara Sayaka was still in the arena, about to introduce Inaba Ryo, but she looked around and couldn't find the fighter anywhere.

"Why didn't Inaba show up? Did she go to the restroom? Honestly, why didn't she say so beforehand..." Just as Sayaka was complaining, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside her, startling her so much that she jumped up.

"Ahhh, a ghost!"

Author's Note: Recently, some readers have mentioned that they've already read the original content and don't want to read the text version again. Well, I understand that. I've streamlined the flow of the story, and actually... it's alright. I'll try to simplify the original battles and insert original storylines. Also, the upcoming matches are actually going quite quickly.

In short, the water won't be as watery anymore!

Section 137, Chapter 135: Spider Hair

It's not a ghost, that's Inaba Ryo.

"Uh..." Mihoyo grabbed Kanon nervously, "This person seems even smaller than me, is she really a fighter?"

Indeed, Inaba was very petite, with long, black hair trailing on the ground, obscuring his face. This appearance made it difficult for others to judge him as a strong person, so Miho naturally worried about the outcome of her bet.

Sheka, who was on the field, was so frightened that her legs went weak. She gave a brief introduction of Inaba and then announced the start of the match.

"In short... In short, Inaba is 155 cm tall and weighs 62 kg. He made his debut in the Kengan tournament, representing Penasonic... That's all."

Referee Yamamoto sighed, "What a chaotic entrance!"

The veteran referee looked at Inaba: "You're the successor of the Inaba school, aren't you? I know a bit about your style, and I believe this will be a very exciting match." He then turned to look at Ohma: "Are you ready too?"

"Hmm." Tokita Ohma nodded, carefully assuming a fighting stance. His intuition had always told him that the small man opposite him was not as easy to bully as he looked.

Cheers, shouts of encouragement, and commentary were all banished from his mind; Tokita Ohma had entered a state of perfect concentration.

Kanon greatly admires this ability to adjust his state: "I really envy him; he gets into the zone so easily."

"Game start!"

At the referee's command, Tokita Ohma charged out and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Inaba Ryo.

As "comrades" who had observed each other during the preliminaries, Ouma's strength and speed were familiar to Kanon, but this would be difficult for Inaba Ryo to handle, since the difference in physique was a tangible fact.

The Tokita Ohma was in great form, launching one fierce attack after another, and quickly gained the upper hand.

"Great opportunity!" Yamashita Kazuo pumped his fist in encouragement for Ohma: "Take him down, Mr. Ohma!"

Kanon also caught sight of Kazuo, and nudged Miho: "Hey, isn't Mr. Yamashita getting a little too excited this time?"

Miho was completely oblivious to everyone else; she was watching the match with a sweaty face: "Hana, Kanon, is Inaba going to lose? What am I going to do about my money? Waaah!"

This girl is really doomed; the difference between Tokita and Inaba is obvious to the naked eye.

Inaba Ryo also used an ancient style of martial arts. With his footwork and body movements, he dodged Ohma's attacks one after another, seemingly about to turn the tide... No, Ohma's Niko-ryu style is also very powerful. He then used the Niko-ryu's Fire Walk technique, trapping Inaba Ryo in the center.

What followed was another fierce attack. Inaba Ryo's small and thin body was no match for the defense, and he was hit repeatedly, eventually being beaten to the point of vomiting blood by Ohma.

Soryuin Shion took a deep drag of her cigarette: "This is... a technique that Setsuna also knows?"

"Hmm, so he's a successor of the Niko-ryu school." At the same time, Kuroki Gensai took a sip of sake.

"Beat him up!" Yamashita Kazuo roared, his eyes bloodshot.

"As expected, Mr. Yamashita's condition is not right..." Kanon turned her head and saw that Mieko's eyes were also wide open, and she was shouting: "Inaba, ahhhhh, hold on to me!"

Kanon suddenly realized that Yamashita Kazuo had also placed his bet on Tokita Ohma through some means. He and Mieko were definitely in a state of all-or-nothing gambler's gamble!

"But..." Kanon looked at the arena, a fundamental question still unanswered: "Since Penasonic has been undefeated for six years, why would they choose a weakling like Inaba Ryo to participate in the decisive match?"

The conclusion is simple: either President Urida and Inaba have a grudge, or Inaba Ryo has a backup plan!

The truth is, of course, the latter.

After Wangma delivered a kick, he was suddenly locked in place by Inaba—not by his hands, feet, or body, but by his hair.

Inaba's hair was incredibly strong, firmly locking onto Ohma's calves. It couldn't be pulled or dragged, completely sealing Ohma's movements.

President Guada, standing in the stands, pushed up his glasses: "Hmph, this is the first time you've seen Inaba-ryu's 'Spider Hair,' isn't it? Since unorthodox attacks are no match, let's settle this with a fair fight."

"Take turns between offense and defense." Inaba, who was on the field, also tossed his hair and made a declaration of counterattack.

"Wow—" The audience erupted in cheers because Inaba, who had lifted her bangs, actually had a delicate and cute face.
