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

"You... are quite skilled too." Wang Ma's demeanor had become much more composed, no longer displaying the impetuousness and frivolity of before.

"I can't feel any pain anymore, so I guess I'm not far from death. But before that, there are three more battles. I just need to hold on for three more..." Wang Ma said calmly, completely unconcerned that he was talking about his own life or death.

“There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘Where there’s life, there’s hope.’ Why are you doing this?” Huayin felt that things hadn’t come to that point at all.

Wang Ma sized up Hanon for a moment, then shook his head: "You don't understand, we're not on the same path."

Although Ohma's words were somewhat cool, Kanon didn't tolerate such self-pity. She rolled her eyes and said, "I don't understand you, and I don't intend to understand you. I will do things according to my own ideas."

"Hmm...it doesn't matter, just do what you want." Wang Ma shrugged, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and went back to the banquet to find Yamashita Kazuo.

As he brushed past Hanon, he whispered, "See you the day after tomorrow. It's a pity I can only meet you in the finals."

Oh, so even Tokita Ohma figured out that Kanon was Flavor?

Regarding the question of identity, the blind spot in people's thinking is that Kanon is a woman with a delicate voice and beautiful appearance, how could she possibly be the top-level expert Flavor Sander? Even if the two have similar physiques, no one would think of that. However, once people realize that Kanon is a martial arts master, the idea that "Ye Kanon is Flavor Sander" will naturally emerge, and it's not hard to guess.

Wang Ma left, leaving Kanon standing in the woods, feeling rather bored. She could only console herself by saying, "I don't know if you're lucky or unlucky that you didn't run into me in the first round the day after tomorrow. You got an extra round of rest, but now you're going to run into Master Kuroki. At least I know to hold back, but that old man is a super serious fighter. He might just beat you to death on the stage..."

The conversation with Tokita Ohma was just a minor incident; now everything else is irrelevant. Everyone's attention has turned to the competition the day after tomorrow, where the top eight fighters will compete in three rounds to determine the final victor, the ruler of the Kengan Association, and the fighting king of the underworld.

With such anticipation, even the second day of rest seemed uneventful, with nothing happening. Hanon spent the day at the beach, finally enjoying the southern scenery and a beach holiday. Having not been seriously injured in the previous days, she had recovered and was ready for battle.

And so, the final day of the elimination rounds arrived!

Section 205, Chapter 203: You thought it had really begun?

In the arena, in the lounge, Tokita Ohma stood up and stretched his limbs: "This feels... good."

Then he turned to the doctor next to him and said, "Please remove the needle for me."

It turned out that Wang Ma's body was covered with silver needles, making him look quite terrifying. However, the room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, so it was easy to tell that he was being treated.

The doctor who performed acupuncture on Wang Ma had purplish-red eyes, so his background was not hard to guess. After removing the silver needles, Wang Ma thanked him: "The Wu clan's skills are truly excellent, living up to their reputation."

"No, after all, it was Garuda's request."

"Garuda?" Wang Ma was slightly taken aback. "Who is that?"

"You don't need to ask, and I won't tell you." The doctor from the Wu family was a cool guy, he replied sharply, and then picked up his medical kit and left.

Tokita Ohma was a carefree person, and he actually stopped thinking about it and strode out of the lounge and into the exit passage.

Yamashita Kazuo was waiting there.

"You..." The two spoke at the same time, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

“Mr. Ohma, let’s forfeit this match.” Kazuo Yamashita’s voice was a little hoarse and strained. In fact, he had argued with Ohma during the rest day yesterday. As a close friend, Kazuo was really worried that Ohma would be eliminated in the elimination match.

"Although we've only known each other for half a year, I've been able to change because of you. You're like a benefactor and a relative to me! You're family and a friend, someone I absolutely cannot lose..." Although Yamashita Kazuo's words sounded like the female lead's lines, they were indeed sincere and deeply moving when they came out of his mouth at this moment.

"I...I...I'm older than you, right? Then please listen to me!" Finally, Yamashita Kazuo shouted with all his might, "Please, let's forfeit!"

"...Thank you." Wang Ma ignored Kazuo, leaving only this sentence before walking past him and heading towards the arena.

Yamashita Kazuo ultimately failed to dissuade Wangma. Watching Wangma's retreating figure, he was filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy.

“I know that Mr. Wangma is not the kind of person who will give up the fight. Even if I really give up, he will still… Sigh, all I can do is watch Mr. Wangma from the sidelines and witness his chosen path of survival.”

Yamashita Kazuo had mentally prepared himself and followed Tokita Ohma to the sidelines.

The world is dynamic, and it seems that it's not just Kanon and Mieko who have grown in the past six months.

The outcome is decided!

However, Kazuo Yamamoto immediately heard this sentence and saw referee Yamamoto raise his arm...

"BOSS Hamburger has forfeited because no fighters have entered the arena. Yamashita Trading Company's representative fighter, Tokita Ohma, has won without a fight!"

"Pfft—" Yamashita Kazuo spat out a mouthful of saliva, so excited that he almost foamed at the mouth. The ups and downs of life were just too fast and too exciting!

In fact, it wasn't just Yamashita Kazuo who was excited; the entire arena erupted. The audience had waited so many days, finally reaching the decisive moment, only to have him forfeit right off the bat?

Yes, everyone knows Flavor has moved to the lower bracket's Byakuya News, but everyone also knows that both Boss Hamburger and Byakuya News are under Suoh Seigetsu's control. Given this rare opportunity, Suoh Seigetsu will definitely send a strong fighter, right? Like Adam, or hiring a top-tier fighter like Okubo Naoya from among the eliminated contestants. Some even boldly speculate that Flavor will move back to Boss Hamburger's position in the quarterfinals, because Wakatsuki, Hatsumi, and Kano in the lower bracket are all too strong. Conversely, the upper bracket seems peaceful; Tokita Ohma is injured, and Kuroki Gensai and Mutaba haven't shown any surprising strength… well, okay, Kuroki Gensai simply didn't have a chance to show his abilities…

Most people viewed Suoh Mieko, who had orchestrated the current situation, as a rising star in the Kengan Association. Even if she couldn't win the decisive match, she was destined to become a pivotal figure in Japan's future economy. But just when everyone was full of anticipation for Suoh Seitetsu's next move, they actually forfeited the match?

People reacted differently, with some immediately launching into angry comments: "What a rip-off! Is this a fixed match?"

Others remained in a spectator's mood, saying, "I really didn't expect Suoh Steel to give up."

And of course, there are always conspiracy theorists: "Hehehe, Suoh Seitetsu might have secretly bribed Yamashita Shoji to do Tokita Ohma a favor. Flavo's current task is to shut down Izumi Hatsumi or Kano Aya in the lower bracket, so that Suoh Seitetsu's fighters have a high chance of meeting in the finals. Hmm, that must be it, hehehe, I'm so clever..."

In short, amidst the clamor of discussion, Tokita Ohma reluctantly stepped off the stage, his expression revealing a mixture of disappointment and relief.

"In short, this battle was not won..."

Looking around in the corridor, Wang Ma didn't see Yamashita Kazuo: "What, didn't Yamashita Kazuo watch my match? It seems my stubbornness really hurt him."

Yamashita Kazuo was not there, but another person stood in the distance. Underneath his leather jacket was a body wrapped in bandages, and he wore a small hat. His eyes were clear, and his aura was imposing. Who else could it be but "Flavor"?

"It really was you." Ohma wasn't surprised by Hanon's appearance. "You also found the doctor from the Wu clan, didn't you?"

"I only asked Garuda for a favor." Hanon nodded, acknowledging the matter. "You're welcome. My name is Lei Feng."

Unexpectedly, Tokita Ohma also became a bit awkward: "There's nothing to thank me for. I only feel regret for not being able to fight a master."

"You're getting the benefits but still acting innocent." Hanon is already very strong, but she can never understand people who think "I fight, therefore I am." There are so many beautiful things in the world, why give up everything for the sake of fighting?

Can you travel through time even after you die?

In short, Kanon made her stance clear: "I've said it before, I don't intend to understand you. I only do what I think is right. You're not a bad person. Knowing that your health is not good, I will do my best to save you."

Wang Ma shrugged: "So how do you plan to save me in the next round? By taking down Kuroki or Mutaba?"

Hana frowned: "Are you kidding me? Only those two can kill others, how could they be killed by others! I've already given you a bye in one round. If you die at Kuroki's hands, that's your fate, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Just as the two were arguing, the squinty-eyed secretary, Kushida, rushed over: "Mr. Oma! Mr. Oma! Ah, Flavor is here too! Great, you can help now!"

"It's you. What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

"This is terrible!" Kushida Rin exclaimed in genuine terror, "Mr. Yamashita... he... he's going to be killed!"

"what?!"

"It's Kiryu Setsuna..."

Author's Note: The third round has begun? Hmm, don't think you've got it all figured out~

Section 206, Chapter 204: Kanon and Ohma, another battle against Setsuna.

Just now, BOSS Hamburger forfeited, and Yamashita Kazuo was in high spirits, about to welcome Ohma back unharmed, when Kiryu Setsuna called him over.

"The venue is dangerous now, I must arrange for everyone to take refuge." This was Setsuna's explanation.

"What's going on? Could it be that there are still remnants of Toyo Electric Power planning to make a move?" Because of the recent Toyo Electric Power rebellion, Yamashita Kazuo easily believed him and walked out with Setsuna into the woods outside the arena.

There were originally some guards from the film source family stationed in this area, but as the Tokyo Electric Power Company's forces were eliminated, these people were all removed from their posts to watch the final day of the competition. At this moment, the surroundings were quiet, with only a gentle breeze blowing.

"What Toyo Electric Power?" Although Setsuna had fought with Toyo Electric Power's thugs, he couldn't recall this at all: "Anyway, be careful, the enemy is terrifyingly strong..."

……

Meanwhile, in the arena, the second match of the quarterfinals was finally about to begin. Kuroki Gensai and Mutba both stepped onto the stage to receive cheers and encouragement from the audience.

Inside the arena, the guards of the Pianyuan family were mourning two fallen colleagues, who had clearly been killed by the Rakshasa Palm, their deaths gruesome.

The leader of the Guardians, the person in charge of the annihilation force, and Katahara Retsudo, the illegitimate son of Katahara Mitsudo, bowed down to mourn for the two: "Well done, you two. Although you died in battle, you left considerable damage to the enemy!"

……

"...That demon's target was Ohma-kun, and I fought him several times but failed to defeat him."

In the woods, Kiryu Setsuna's breathing grew heavier as they spoke. Yamashita Kazuo noticed that he was injured, and the injury was not minor. Blood flowed down his sleeve, a shocking sight.

"W-What exactly happened?! Setsuna-kun, are you alright?"

Kazuo was concerned about Setsuna, but Setsuna suddenly turned around, her eyes extremely fierce, as if she had seen something terrifying.

"Ah! It's you! Ten Demon Snakes and Two Tigers!"

A Rakshasa Palm strike was aimed at the man on the mountainside.

As a frail and weak middle-aged man, how could Yamashita Kazuo withstand the blows of the Rakshasa Palm? However, since he was destined to be the "female lead," the palm strike did not land properly.

Almost just like when he rescued Secretary Akiyama from Jerry Tyson's punch during the preliminaries, Tokita Ohma used the Unbroken Style of Niko-ryu to withstand the attack, while Kanon grabbed Yamashita Kazuo with superb speed and carried him to safety.

After Rin Kushida informed them that Kazuo Yamashita had gone missing, the two of them searched for him all the way here. This was not difficult, as Setsuna's blood had been flowing all along the way...

"That's enough!" Tokita Ohma shouted. "I won't let you run rampant!"

"...Are you going to protect that Erhu guy?" In an instant, his expression turned fierce as he stared at Wang Ma, his aura rising steadily.

Yamashita Kazuo was completely bewildered: "What on earth is going on? Everything was fine just now."

"What's wrong with you?" Hanon sneered. "Mr. Yamashita, you've been hanging out with mental patients without even realizing it. Kiryu Setsuna has been broken for a long time."

"What?" Yamashita Kazuo realized with a lingering fear: "Could it be that I was in a very dangerous situation just now?"

At this point, Ohma and Setsuna had begun their standoff, exchanging phrases no one else could understand, such as "the ghost of the two tigers," "you are not the same person you used to be," and "it's been ten years since our last encounter." Of course, the final outcome was always the same—a fight.

Tokita Ohma struck a pose: "Let's put an end to this ill-fated relationship of ours here and now!"

Kiryu Setsuna stood in his natural form and said only, "Then I'll leave it to you. You must kill me this time." Then he launched the first attack.
