Snap! The string responsible for rationality in Yu Lei's brain snapped.

The third super-fast attack, the application of speed, power and skill, was the strongest since the start of the balance of power, and Yu Lei once again surpassed himself.

Unsurprisingly, Hanon flew away, fell down... and then stood up again.

Unlike the previous two times, this time getting up was accompanied by Yu Lei's painful screams and a ferocious smile on Hanon's face.

"Cough cough cough." Hanon's sinister smile immediately fizzled out because she realized that she was still covered by bandages, and no one could see her expression when she tried to act tough... Realizing that she had done something stupid, Hanon quickly stopped her cosplay of the Fang of Metsudo, and even choked on her own embarrassment, coughing for a while.

Uh, Kanon is so relaxed, is she not afraid of the Thunderclap Attack?

She's really not afraid. Don't you see, Yu Lei over there is clutching his wrist and groaning in pain!

Yu Lei's wrist is ruined.

In the Chinese idiom of "self-contradiction," the method to compare whether a spear is sharp or a shield is strong is to clash them together and see which is superior. So when Hanon realized that her prediction was too slow and she couldn't keep up with the speed of the lightning, she made a risky but unavoidable decision: if she couldn't dodge, she might as well not dodge at all, and just tense her muscles to become indestructible.

If the lightning strikes through Hanon's indestructible armor, then so be it, Hanon accepts defeat.

If the lightning can't penetrate it...

When two tigers fight, one will surely be injured; the shattered hand bones of Yu Lei are a perfect example.

Force is reciprocal. Yu Lei's attacks are also a burden for him, and with his physical strength constantly declining, the risk of injury for Yu Lei is also increasing. Moreover, Hanon's "Indestructible Vajra" is not used casually. Ordinary "Indestructible" involves tensing all the muscles in the body, while "Indestructible Vajra" selectively concentrates the power in certain areas. Hanon not only gambled that Yu Lei's attack could not penetrate Indestructible Vajra, but also took an additional gamble that Yu Lei's attack points were very specific, only targeting a few vital points.

Kanon wasn't making baseless accusations. The Raishin-ryu style used by Rei Mikage is a long-established assassination style of martial arts, aiming for a single, fatal blow. Coupled with its lightning-fast, direct attacks, it's difficult to change tactics mid-attack. Therefore, Kanon only needs to predict Mikage's direction of attack and then focus on strengthening a few key points along Mikage's charge route.

In this way, each of Yu Lei's attacks was like hitting a thick iron plate made of "Huanyin brand". Most of the force was reflected back and bounced back at him. After several times, his wrist finally couldn't take it anymore... No, it was even more than that. After using charges that exceeded his limits one after another, a large number of blood vessels in Yu Lei's feet burst and were full of blood. He could no longer use that kind of unimaginable impact!

Kanon admits that there was an element of gambling involved, but she won the bet.

Please call me Ye, the Greatly Clever, Hanon~

Author's Note: Kanon isn't Kuroki; pre-reading is impossible for her, absolutely impossible in this lifetime. It's like using a cheat code—indestructible—to tank attacks until the lightning defense collapses on its own. This plan sounds good, and Kanon is incredibly smart and talented; I absolutely love writing it this way!

Section 171, Chapter 169: Shonen Jump-style battle, clear victory or defeat.

The fiercely attacking Yu Lei suddenly lost his wrist, while the battered Flavor remained standing.

There was a moment of silence in the stands, followed by a huge roar. Some cheered, some exclaimed in amazement, and some looked on in confusion.

Although not everyone understands how Flavo destroyed Mikage's fighting power by simply taking hits, anyone with eyes can see the situation of the match—Mikage Zero had a huge advantage, Mikage Zero attacked, and Mikage Zero typed GG.

With his limbs crippled, Yu Lei's incredible speed posed no threat, and even Hanon believed the match was nearing its end. She let out a long breath, her voice rough, and said in a steady tone, "Yu Lei, you performed very well, but this match..."

"You won?" Yu Lei's tone was mocking. "I haven't lost consciousness yet, and I don't remember admitting defeat. The battle isn't over yet!"

"Ah, yes." Huayin had also experienced a lot in the martial arts field. Judging from his words and actions, it was obvious that Yu Lei was going to "fight to the end." In that case, Huayin had nothing to say and could only put on a new stance: "I have felt your determination. So, I am going to attack."

"Stop arguing, come on."

"Thump—snap." Cosmic illusion, this time it was Yu Leifei's turn.

This was the first time that Kanon had taken the initiative to attack during the match, but judging from the current situation, her attack was as terrifying as the Grim Reaper's scythe. Exhausted and physically broken, Yu Lei was completely unable to withstand Kanon's impact and was hit squarely in the chest.

The sensation was spot on. After confirming that her punch had landed solidly, Hana closed her eyes, turned around, and left—she made a cool move.

However, Hanon's attempt to show off backfired, and she became the backdrop for Yu Lei's heroic moment—Yu Lei stood up again.

Is this considered "using Kanon's own methods against Kanon"? In any case, it's really dramatic. After Kanon was repeatedly knocked down and then got back up, Mikazuki also created such a plot.

Wu Lei'an in the stands laughed uncontrollably: "Hahahaha... Are these two guys acting out a scene from a Weekly Shonen Jump manga?"

Sigh, only this bastard could so brazenly mock someone else's perseverance.

Although Yu Lei stood up, he was only putting on a brave face. His strength was speed, not endurance, so he couldn't possibly replicate Hanon's fighting style.

Mirai himself understood this. At this moment, the "suggestion" that Rino had given him had already failed. Rino's ability could be strong or weak, and the strongest effect was brainwashing. However, in that case, the controlled man would become a berserker with enhanced body, but he would lose his judgment and reaction ability. Therefore, what Mirai received was a suppressed "suggestion", and it had been lifted while he was injured.

In other words, the boost that Rino gave to Mikage has disappeared, and he will have to fight entirely on his own from now on.

The severe pain in my left foot was caused by a tear in the blood vessels and nerves due to excessive strain, which affected my speed.

The excruciating pain in my right hand was due to the fracture and crack caused by the indestructible impact; my right hand was practically useless.

My chest is also in excruciating pain, from where the cosmic phantom just struck me. My sternum is probably fractured, and it's starting to affect my breathing...

But Yu Lei still roared and charged towards Hana.

This time, despite her crippled state, Yu Lei used "Yang Yan" to attack the pressure points on "Flavor's" face. However... just kidding, if Hanon couldn't anticipate the slow speed and the move she had used in the first round, then all her training over the past six months would have been for nothing.

Hanon not only blocked all of Yu Lei's attacks, but also went a step further, turning defense into offense and using Razor and Rakshasa Palm to inflict great damage the moment they made contact with Yu Lei's arm.

Before the attack was even over, Yu Lei's left hand was almost useless.

However, his offensive did not stop.

"His hand must be in a lot of pain." Hanon found it unbelievable. Could this be the so-called "spirit transcending the body" situation?

"I just can't understand how Yu Lei can keep waving his arms like that..."

Furthermore, Yu Lei's attack speed increased, and Hanon was actually forced back a few steps by this ferocity!

Hanon's judgment was correct. At this moment, Yu Lei had shed unnecessary burdens: pride in his status as the leader of the Lei Xin Liu sect, ambition to surpass his predecessors and rebuild the sect, and the promise he made to his beloved... He had left all these things behind. Yu Lei Ling had indeed entered a state of selflessness and tranquility, propelling his application and understanding of techniques to a new peak in his life.

But that's all.

Human spirit is great, but ultimately we must respect the objective laws of physics. The reality is that Yu Lei is injured and can hardly hold on for long, while Hana, whom he faces, is full of energy and in excellent condition, even surpassing Yu Lei in terms of counter-attacks.

Yu Lei's final attack came when he spotted a weakness in "Flavor": the arm used to defend the side was hanging too low, exposing a gap on the side of the heart. He seized this opportunity and launched a fierce strike at his opponent's vital point.

At that moment, Yu Lei's fist once again unleashed incredible speed, striking "Flavor" with lightning speed.

Unfortunately, "Flavor's" chest was as hard as stone, no, much harder than stone—indestructible!

As I've already said, Hanon's ability to counter attacks far surpasses Yu Lei's. She's the one who can find Yu Lei's weaknesses; how could Yu Lei possibly find her openings?

That was a trap.

Hanon's muscles were as hard as diamonds, and her attacks were as ruthless as metal. Before Yu Lei could even feel the pain of his other wrist being broken, he was hit by Hanon's straight punch.

The shock to his internal organs traveled all the way to his heart, and the nerves reacted instantly to his brain... Without a cry, without resentment, without any thoughts, Yu Lei Ling cleanly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed softly to the ground.

"...The match is over!" Referee Yamamoto waved his hand and announced the end of the match: "The winner is Suoh Seitetsu's representative, Flavor Sand!"

This time there was no reversal; Hanon walked back to the entrance passage with an air of pride.

“Zero…” Kuraki Rino’s face was very pale. Her state made her two secretaries and bodyguards behind her, Mion and Otoichi, tremble with fear.

The other spectators in the stands were also discussing it animatedly.

"Although he was a very strong and unique fighter, Yu Lei was ultimately finished."

"Flavor, that monster, is still unharmed."

"Perhaps he's a prodigy capable of challenging the Fang of Destroyer!"

"It's a pity they won't meet until the finals... Hey, you over there, why are you crying?"

"Waaah, I bet my entire fortune on Yu Lei Ying..."

Ahem, gamblers don't get a house...

"Kanon, congratulations!" Miho was waiting in the passageway early in the morning. Adam and Garuda had been sent to the lounge by her, leaving only her and Kanon, so there was no need to be too discreet.

Miho even hugged Kanon and kissed her: "Thank you~"

"Wait, wait!" Miho's enthusiasm startled Kanon: "Why are you so happy?"

Miho stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, of course it's because you made it through the second round! Now everyone knows you're a contender for the tournament victory~"

Then she fiddled with the hem of her clothes and said coyly, "Also, I gave all the funds I could use to the online agent's boss to bet on you to win."

This girl has completely let loose...

Author's Note: I didn't have much to say at the end of this chapter, but one reader in the comments section at the end of the last chapter was really brilliant... I admire you!

Chapter 170, Section 172: Is the King Horse Weak? Kanon is Confused

Faced with Mihono gradually degenerating into a complete idiot, Kanon could only facepalm. This girl was probably beyond saving…

Sensing Kanon's displeasure, Miho quickly switched to her cuteness overload: "Relax, I learned my lesson in the first round! From now on, I'll only bet on your matches, Kanon~"

"No, that will give me the urge to deliberately lose to teach you a lesson."

It has to be said that Miho is very cute when she acts cute. Kanon, who is a straight man at heart, has no resistance to her. The two of them are also very close. In the end, her "lecture" turned into "teasing", and the matter was dropped.

The two chatted and laughed all the way through the entrance passage. Miho was in a great mood and almost clung to Kanon. However, once they entered the inner passage of the arena, they reverted to their usual relationship as owner and fighter, like kindred spirits meeting on a high mountain and flowing water, a harmonious relationship between ruler and subject.

"Flavor! Darling! Congratulations!" Garuda rushed over again with three exclamation marks in her voice, jumping directly into Hanon's arms, her voice even sweeter with three plus signs.

Let's have a baby!

Uh... Kanon felt very strained dealing with both Miho and Garuda, and was even starting to doubt her life—did she bring her socially inept nature from before she transmigrated with her?

Not knowing how to deal with Garuda's question, Kanon changed the subject: "Um, where's Adam? Isn't he with you?"

"Oh, right, he said he was going to the bathroom and hasn't come back yet."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go find him." Hana quickly put Garuda down and ran towards the men's restroom.

Well, since Hanon is dressed as "Flavor," no one has any doubts about her going to the men's restroom. However, seeing Hanon running away in a rather panicked manner, the adorable Garuda clapped his hands and said, "I know, darling must have been holding in her pee!"

Well, this is probably the true meaning of "escaping is shameful but useful"...

Not to mention that Kanon went to find Adam, Mikage Zero from the arena has already been taken to the infirmary for treatment, and Katahara Sayaka is now introducing the two teams that will compete in the second match.

Sakura's life, Kiyoaki Akoya, and Tokita Ohma of Yamashita Trading Company.

As the music began and the mist rose, two tough-looking fighters stepped onto the ring.

In the VIP room, the old chairman of the Pianyuan Mietang chuckled twice and asked the person behind him, "E'ya, what do you think of this match?"
