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

"Hmph, so the test of endurance is over, isn't it?" Mutba, having succeeded, revealed a mocking smile: "I'll only say this once, my request is victory, not killing. If you surrender now, you can avoid death... Huh?"

Mutba miscalculated; he felt the arm gripping his neck tighten.

"Doesn't this guy feel pain? No, wait, could it be that he is..."

In the private room of Toyo Electric Power, Hayami Katsumasa grinned smugly: "Meguro is 'exceptionally gifted.' The anesthetic substance in his brain can transform pain into pleasure. That little girl from Iwami Heavy Industries used to keep a similar fighter, but Meguro is much stronger than that person... Something interesting is about to happen~"

Then Meguro stretched out a hand and stabbed down, aiming straight for Mutba's eyes.

"It's pierced! Meguro has also destroyed Mutba's eyes, an eye for an eye. Don't these two have any human heart?"

The stadium erupted again, but this time the audience was more fearful than excited.

“It’s no use…” At the scene, Hanon was one of the very few people who knew that Mutba was blind, so she also knew that Mutba’s counterattack would come soon.

"Ouch—" Meguro yelled as Mutaba crushed his groin.

It popped! It popped! It popped...

"Ugh." Hanon really didn't expect that even though Mutba was being suppressed and in a critical situation, he wouldn't resort to such a [beep] way to get out of trouble, right? Although she had become a woman after transmigrating, Hanon was still stimulated by the bloody scene and felt a bit of phantom limb pain.

"Disgusting." Hanon stood up again as soon as she sat down: "Meguro is already half dead, but Mutba hasn't suffered any real injuries. The outcome is clear. If Meguro continues fighting, he might lose his whole life. It's better not to watch this kind of battle."

She already had the answer to Kuroki's earlier statement about "living towards death".

Author's note: Waaah, it's the weekend...

Section 144, Chapter 142: The Assassin Flavo

In the infirmary, Ryo Inaba, who had been severely injured by Tokita Ohma, woke up and the first thing he saw was President Urida beside him.

"Where...where is this?"

"The infirmary at the Kengan Dome."

"Oh..." Inaba tried hard to recall, and soon the image of Ashura descending to earth after Tokita Ohma "borrowed" him appeared in her mind.

"Guazi, I... lost."

"Don't worry about that kind of thing." Urida Kazuki shook his head and comforted him, "There can only be one seat for the chairman of Kengan, it's normal if you can't get it, besides, we still have a future."

"But I lost. Guazi, you're going to have to pay President Yamashita a lot of money, right?"

Speaking of this, Kazuyo Ueda was very grateful to Kazuo Yamashita: "Don't worry, President Yamashita is magnanimous and has spared us the huge bet of 10% of Penasonic's shares."

Ten percent of Penasonic's shares, at current value, are roughly equivalent to 2800 billion yen. Yamashita Kazuo simply refused? That's quite an impressive amount of courage...

Kazuo's kindness was so great that even Inaba was deeply moved: "Wow, President Yamashita is such a wonderful person!"

“Speaking of which,” Uraida recalled another incident: “After you fainted, Tokita Ohma said something like, ‘I’m ready to fight anytime you want.’”

Inaba paused for a moment: "Really? Mr. Ohma is a good person too... Gua-chan, that match was very enjoyable. Even as someone who came from an assassin background, I experienced the joy of being a martial artist."

Urida Kazuki smiled, pleased with Inaba's transformation: "I was just thinking a little about my childhood."

"Yes, I also dreamed about the past when I was unconscious... Let's get together with Mingzai next time."

Uwata opened his phone, which contained photos of himself, Inaba, and Nishihama Haruaki, all of which were childhood photos. Clearly, the three were childhood friends who grew up together, but had gone their separate ways, and now had the opportunity to reunite in this doomed elimination match.

As Inaba looked forward to the future and prepared to fight Tokita Ohma again with high morale, Imai Kosou, who was sitting silently on the hospital bed not far away, had the image of Akoya Kiyoaki's ruthless killing move in his mind.

Those heavy punches, precise footwork and strikes, the merciless destruction of the human body in the critical moment, made Xiao Yu feel panicked and breathless. Those scenes eventually converged into a deathly silence, foreshadowing a silent end.

Imai Kosuke bit his lip, his whole body trembling uncontrollably. Aguya Kiyoaki's final attack had brought him too much fear. Although no one mentioned it to his face, he knew that the so-called path of martial arts had been severed.

"Am I... finished?" Compared to Inaba, Kosou felt even more pathetic, and he even felt ashamed. Driven by this terrible feeling, Kosou stood up and silently walked out of the infirmary.

And a figure quietly followed him.

Well, Imai's injuries weren't too serious. Despite his confusion and fear, he still maintained the basic qualities of a top-tier fighter. So, after walking for a while, he noticed that someone was following him.

"Who is it?" Xiao Yuzhou stopped and demanded, "There's no one around here, so you don't need to hide anymore. Just come out!"

Then he saw the mysterious fighter with his face covered by bandages, Flavor Sand.

"It's you. What do you want?" Xiaoyuzhou was very puzzled. Shouldn't the fighters be watching the match right now? This Flavor was neither injured nor defeated, and was wandering around like himself, who had lost his way in life. It all seemed a bit strange.

Flavor stared at the cosmos without saying a word, which made the cosmos increasingly agitated: "Can't you talk? Then I'm leaving."

Flavor remained silent, but launched a direct attack – Cosmic Illusion.

"What is this guy trying to do?" Xiaoyuzhou was shocked. He never expected that Flavor, who was also a fighter, would attack him. However, since it had already happened, he had no choice but to dodge the attack. Flavor's charging speed was extremely fast, as everyone had observed in the first battle.

The little universe barely dodged the oncoming impact.

"That was fast! Even if you're prepared, it's hard to dodge."

Imai, still reeling from the shock, was immediately met with another fierce attack from Flavor.

"Damn it, what are you trying to do!" Xiaoyuzhou roared angrily.

This "Flavor" is no fake; it is indeed Kanon.

"Hehe, no need to thank me, just call me Lei Feng." Hua Yin didn't retort, but she secretly felt smug in her heart.

Kuroki Gensai said that Imai's heartbroken state could only be recovered through the method of "living towards death." Kanon summarized it as follows: Imai's cosmos had not experienced the baptism of a life-or-death battle, and as a result, he suddenly encountered a powerful enemy who intended to kill him, which led to fear and self-doubt. For a martial artist to recover from this situation, he must let his cosmos feel the immense pressure between life and death again, then stimulate his potential, adjust his mindset, and regain his vitality.

As for why Kanon came to "teach" Kosou, firstly, it was out of pity for this genius warrior's early demise; secondly, Kanon participated in the elimination tournament with the intention of meeting heroes from all over the world. Kosou Imai was a genuine fighter with over twenty consecutive wins, known as the "King of Strangulation." It wouldn't be good to miss such an opponent, would it?

"I'm doing this voluntarily, you'll be very grateful later!"

However, at least for now, Imai Kosou feels no gratitude, only anger and frustration.

"Damn it, you're so awful!"

This state of Xiaoyuu could probably be described as "impotent rage." He had just felt that his path as a martial artist was over, but then he was immediately entangled in a fight with a strange guy. Anyone could understand how he felt. Driven by this anger, Imai Xiaoyuu also began to fight back against Kanon.

Kanon deflected the attack from the Cosmo: "Your power is not bad."

It was clear that Yingchu had given Xiaoyuzhou a lot of painkillers, and his arm injury hadn't reached the tendons. Xiaoyuzhou's heavy punches could now deliver seven or eight tenths of their normal power.

However, even when his cosmos is at its peak and his punches and kicks are comparable to those of a heavyweight fighter, he is still only as powerful as an ordinary heavyweight fighter. He can handle most situations, but he poses no threat to top-tier fighters who are capable of competing in the ultimate elimination tournament.

Moreover, Kanon's defensive power is exceptionally high, ranking among the top even among the fighters in the Deathmatch Tournament.

"That's it?" After a few moves, bored Kanon couldn't hold back any longer and scoffed in a rough voice, while throwing a heavy punch straight at Imai's face.

Xiao Yuzhou's gaze was like lightning. Even though his mentality was collapsing, his accumulated combat experience was still there. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Activate the domain!"

The Strangulation King Imai's Cosmo has been unleashed, triggering the Strangulation.

Section 145, Chapter 143: The Sublimated Microcosm

Imai's cosmos is powerful in terms of its domain and strangulation techniques, but it's still not enough against Kanon.

"That's it? I've seen that move several times already!"

To break through the domain of the Cosmos, a master like Kuroki can rely on his extremely strong prediction to break through, while a superhuman like Aguya can use a reaction speed that is even faster than the Cosmos to counter the move.

As for Kanon's choice, it is to use "disorder". If Kuroki's "inaction" is the first of the first, and Akoya and Hiyama's cooperation is the first, then Kanon's "disorder" is the strongest second of the first.

To arrive first despite starting later is to be the first among those who come later.

The punch suddenly accelerated, striking Imai's shoulder before his cosmic lock could be completed.

"Ah!" With a scream, half of Imai Kosou's body went numb, making it impossible for him to continue his locking technique.

"I almost dislocated my shoulder... This guy's punches are too strong! He's lighter than me, how can he throw such a heavy punch?"

"If you want to play judo, I'll play along, but forget about ground fighting." With a grumble, "Flavor" charged forward. Kouichi struggled to block with his numb arms, but with a "sizzle," blood splattered. Hanon's grabbing hands transformed into finger razors, cutting deep bloody gashes into Kouichi's already bleeding skin.

His arm was injured again, which triggered the fear deep in Xiaoyuzhou's heart. The scene of being tortured by Aguya once again flooded his mind. His body began to tremble, his movements became erratic, and he could no longer defend himself against the heavy punches that Kanon attacked again.

"Bang bang bang," Hanon delivered three punches in a row, leaving Xiaoyuu completely disoriented. Although he adopted a defensive stance, he couldn't muster any strength, and the defensive effect was extremely limited.

"Wait, wait!" Xiao Yuzhou shouted hoarsely, "I give up. You can do whatever you want, please spare me."

"This..." Kanon muttered to herself, was Imai's cosmos really that easy to deal with?

Logically speaking, Xiao Chang's strength was indeed inferior to Kanon's, and he was also injured after being defeated by Aguya. However, such a rapid and crushing defeat was still too pathetic. Is this the result of the collapse of a warrior's heart?

Hanon felt a chill run down her spine. To be honest, her situation was similar to that of Kosho. In the fighting world, they were both fighters who were determined to win rather than fight to the death. If one day she encountered a powerful enemy who was determined to take her life but was difficult to defeat, she would probably have a similar outcome after escaping by chance.

"I absolutely do not want to come to this situation, so I must become very strong!" This is Kanon's expectation for herself.

As for his cosmos, "He's really trash now..." Hanon sighed, "But that's what I came here for—to make the most of trash!"

Ignoring Xiaoyu's pleas for mercy, Kanon activated Cosmic Illusion again. By this time, Xiaoyu's legs were weak, and he only had time to put his hands in front of him to defend himself before he took the full impact.

Hanon's charge was incredibly powerful; Xiaoyuu felt as if all the bones in his body were about to be shattered. The immense force even caused him to cough up blood, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Then came another round of heavy punches and razors.

Hanon carefully controlled his power, refraining from using techniques like the Rakshasa Palm, which could destroy a counterattack in one strike, and also not revealing his other "trump cards." He rarely even used Razor, instead cautiously reducing his cosmos's fighting power, gradually lowering his physical strength, and pushing him to the brink of death.

Then, Imai's cosmos came to an end under Kanon's "torture," and his consciousness began to blur.

In a daze, Xiaoyuzhou seemed to see his master, Mitsuyo Muishi, and the conversation he once had with him.

That was after a sparring match between master and disciple, Xiaoyuzhou was once again knocked to the ground by Mushi.

"Master, you're amazing! I lost again."

"Hehe, you're a genius, but your teacher is an even greater genius~ By the way, Little Universe, do you like fighting?"

"Yes, although losing a battle is quite regrettable, fighting is a joyful thing for me~"
