But Hana laughed, her heart filled with joy: "You just need to use this 'lime-sprinkling technique' from street fights, now we have a solution." As she thought about it, she threw another handful of sand.

Just like before, the "Black Robe" was disrupted, and Hana took the opportunity to punch her, which was then blocked by "Lihentian". But Hana was not discouraged at all. Instead, she became more courageous after each setback. She used her hands and feet to throw all kinds of debris and scraps on the ground at the "Black Robe", while her figure flashed and her attacks were like a tide, constantly hitting the "Black Robe".

Finally, after a muffled thud, the "black-robed" man's attempt to block Hua Yin's attack with "Li Hen Tian" was no longer a simple retreat or minor injury. Instead, he was punched in the face by Hua Yin, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, and even spitting out blood. His injuries were clearly far more serious than expected.

Vibration Technique! This is a unique divine skill of Kanon. It's not that the "Black Robe" on the other side can't use it, but the nanobots inside her are also afraid of vibration. For the Vibration Technique to cause damage, it needs to constantly adjust the frequency. Once it hits the resonant frequency of the nanobots, the "Black Robe" will damage its own body and become paralyzed before Kanon can be defeated.

After being luckily knocked out by Kanon in one blow last time, "Black Robe" adjusted the resonance frequency of the nanobots in his body. However, the new frequency is still a frequency. As long as Kanon finds it, she can achieve a restraint on "Black Robe".

Now, through repeated attacks, Hanon has finally found the right frequency. The punch she just delivered was the effect of the shock technique, which dispelled the nanobots inside the "black robe" and created a blind spot in her "Lihentian" that she could not deflect.

"The situation is great~" Hanon chuckled. The frequency she had just mastered was just the beginning. As the number of strikes increased and she continued to experiment, her understanding of the "black robe's" weak frequency would only deepen, and the efficiency of her attacks would become higher and higher. In the end, it was possible that she would recreate the scene of knocking out her opponent with one blow.

The situation was excellent, and Hanon's smile even turned a little wicked, like a big bad wolf seeing a little lamb, completely regarding "Black Robe" as a meal on his plate!

Despite the laughter, one cannot afford to be distracted when facing a formidable foe, and Hana wouldn't make such a basic mistake. Her hands moved swiftly, launching a pursuit immediately. With a few swishes of dust, and a series of thuds, the "black-robed" woman's blood stained her breastplate, and her once indifferent eyes became blurred, clearly indicating that her injuries were severe and she could no longer continue.

Hanon fought with increasing ferocity, still raising dust, throwing punches, raising dust again, throwing punches again, raising dust again... but she couldn't raise any more dust! The dust that Hanon threw out suddenly stopped in mid-air—it was the "evil spirit" in the air that once again freed its hand to help, allowing the "black-robed" to finally catch his breath.

"Hehehe, BOSS, you're such a fucking idiot." She was an evil spirit formed by "Black Robe" based on the soul of "Ye Huayin" who committed suicide in a parallel universe, and incorporating the memories and emotions of many innocent test subjects. Her mental strength had long been so strong that it was beyond comprehension. "Black Robe" was no match for Huayin, but "evil spirit" was more than capable of dealing with "holy spirit".

With a gentle wave of his hand, the sand and dust that had stopped flew back towards Huayin. Fortunately, the "Black Robe" was already exhausted, and the "Evil Spirit" couldn't catch up with "Wufang Illusion." The returning sand and dust particles missed their target, and Huayin had already circled around to another direction.

"Hey, that's fast—Eek!" Before the "evil spirit" could finish its sarcastic praise, Hana picked up a few more shards of glass from the ground and threw them through the air.

"Foolish! Daring! Damn it!" The "evil spirit" had absorbed so many of the "black robe's" unwanted emotions, which naturally included a lot of negative emotions. Therefore, she was extremely tyrannical. When she saw that Hana not only did not surrender but also dared to resist, she was immediately enraged.

The sand and dust on the ground began to float up in large quantities, transforming into a blue dragon composed of dust, glass shards, and wood chips, which rushed towards Huayin.

This is truly a grand scheme. The gaping maw of the Azure Dragon is a death abyss. Once Hanon is captured, there will be no other outcome.

The Azure Dragon twisted and charged forward. Hua Yin dared not confront it directly and could only dodge and run away. Fortunately, the "Black Robe" was still recuperating. Otherwise, if they had attacked from both sides, Hua Yin would have been doomed.

The Azure Dragon chased, and Hanayone fled. The abandoned gymnasium was spacious enough that Hanayone could lead the Azure Dragon in circles. The "evil spirit" failed to launch the Azure Dragon's attacks several times in a row, and its mood grew increasingly impatient.

"Enough!" the "evil spirit" suddenly shouted, releasing her mental power wildly. Centered on herself, it spread indiscriminately, firmly suppressing everyone—actually just Hanon and the "black-robed" one—to the floor.

"Scum, die!" The "evil spirit" no longer cared about dignity; its mind was filled with the thought of killing Hanon, and it no longer paid any attention to the "holy spirit."

However, while she ignored the "Holy Spirit," Kanon was constantly thinking about her companions. Although she was pinned to the floor by superpowers, her face was cut by shards of glass, and blood was flowing freely, leaving her with no chance to struggle, Kanon still managed to lift her head and eyes to look at the ethereal figure of the "Holy Spirit," Kanon, bathed in sunlight.

"Hey, aren't you done setting it up yet?"

“It’s over, it’s over, just right,” said the Holy Spirit.

Kanon and the "Holy Spirit" were not fighting an unprepared battle; they had a pre-arranged plan!

Section 956, Chapter 947: Pooling Wisdom and Effort

"Holy Spirit" Kanon had fought "Evil Spirit" Kanon before and was confident she could hold her own in a one-on-one fight. Logically, she shouldn't have been completely overwhelmed by "Evil Spirit" and even distracted by Kanon's attacks. This performance seems to suggest that "Holy Spirit" was only half-heartedly putting in the effort…

So there must be a conspiracy behind this... cough cough, I mean there must be a plan behind this.

During their battle, "Holy Spirit" only used about 70-80% of her strength to deal with "Evil Spirit," secretly making many underhanded moves. Normally, with "Evil Spirit's" abilities, she should have been able to detect "Holy Spirit's" abnormality, but unfortunately, she was formed from the combined emotions of many people, making her mind restless and unfocused. Constantly provoked by Hanon below, her attention couldn't be concentrated on "Holy Spirit." Once Hanon suppressed "Black Robe" and began actively attacking "Evil Spirit," she became enraged and ignored "Holy Spirit," allowing "Holy Spirit" to unleash her full power to complete her and Hanon's planned scheme.

Even now, everything is still in accordance with the plan pre-arranged between Kanon and the "Holy Spirit".

Hearing their conversation, the "evil spirit" was already alarmed. But when it saw the hope in Hana's eyes, the "evil spirit" panicked even more: "What are you planning?"

Hua Yin didn't answer, she just stared at her. The "evil spirit" became even more suspicious and shouted, "Hmph! You're still stubborn. I'll snap your neck right now, and all your tricks will be useless!"

"...I wanted to say it, but you're pressing me down so I can't say it!" Hanon could only silently shout back in her heart.

The "evil spirit" waved its hand, about to snap Kanon's neck, but the expected effect did not occur when the spiritual power was sent out. Kanon, who had just been pinned to the floor by the superpower and unable to move, suddenly became energetic and broke through the shackles of the superpower.

"How could this be?" Before the "evil spirit" could react, Hanon had already used "Unbounded Transformation" to rush to a far distance. The "evil spirit" looked up in confusion—the "holy spirit" was still opposite her, not possessing Hanon, and was even doing something with a serious expression, without making a move to sever the mental power that controlled Hanon.

How did Kanon break the superpowers of the "evil spirit"?

It's... another soul possessing me.

The "evil spirit" used her profound spiritual power to look and found that there was indeed another ghost attached to Kanon, dressed as a Japanese samurai. It was probably the same ghost that had rescued Kanon from Mr. Shirogane's gym before.

"Miss Kanon, that was close!" Tadakatsu Toyota appeared just in time, possessing Kanon and giving her the ability to fight superpowers, allowing her to evade the "evil spirit's" fatal attack.

"It was very dangerous." Hanon's heart also skipped a beat. The destruction that an unrestrained esper could cause was simply too great. "Fortunately, the most dangerous moment has passed. Now it's time for us to counterattack."

The Holy Spirit has been preparing a powerful move, and now it's time to unleash it.

"What...what did you do?" The "evil spirit" sensed something was wrong and hurriedly looked to the side. As her vision widened, she discovered that the entire stadium had been enveloped under a huge psionic curtain!

Mental power is invisible and formless; unless a superhuman applies it to their senses, its existence remains undetectable. The "evil spirit" continued its relentless attack, completely oblivious to the inescapable trap laid by the "holy spirit," which had turned it into a caged bird…

"Hmph, you're truly overestimating yourselves. Trying to teach a fish to swim, building a psionic cage to trap me? What a pipe dream!" The "evil spirit" first rebuked angrily, then its voice turned mocking: "Heh heh, actually, it's better if I don't break free of the cage. Aren't you all trapped in it yourselves? I'll just kill you all in the gymnasium instead of going out!"

After saying that, the "evil spirit" flashed and flew towards the "holy spirit".

Faced with the reality of being trapped, the "evil spirit" clearly did not accept her fate, and she did indeed have the capital to be disdainful—her unparalleled spiritual power was even greater than that of the "holy spirit." With a little time, it would not be difficult for her to force her way through the barrier of spiritual energy, or to cooperate with the "black robe" to kill the "holy spirit" and Hanon.

Really?

The Holy Spirit spent so much time and effort to weave this mental cage; its function is not simply to trap the enemy...

As the "evil spirit" charged forward, she felt weak all over, her heart raced, and she was short of breath. As a spirit, she couldn't actually breathe, so if she felt this way, it was probably a symptom of her rapidly depleting mental energy.

What, could it be that the "Holy Spirit" launched some powerful attack, weakening the "evil spirit"?

No, there is indeed a gap between the two sides in terms of spiritual power. The "Holy Spirit" can only contend and stalemate with the "Evil Spirit" in a one-on-one fight. Even if it wins, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. It is impossible for it to hurt the other party silently.

The "evil spirit" was harmed by something else, coming from the gymnasium wall behind the "Holy Spirit." Behind the wall was a psionic shield woven by the "Holy Spirit," and outside the psionic shield stood a group of fat guys... cough, sumo wrestlers!

The essential difference between "Holy Spirit" Kanon, Toyota Tadakatsu and "Evil Spirit" Kanon is that the former two are clean, ordinary ghosts, while "Evil Spirit" is, as the name suggests, an evil spirit.

The four legs of a sumo wrestler have been believed since ancient times to have the power to ward off evil spirits and demons.

Since Tadakatsu Toyoda has come to this stadium, it is not surprising that Oni-Ohyama, his two older brothers, and the Rikishi Group led by Yokozuna Kinryu-zan have also come here.

Not only them, but the sumo wrestlers only occupied the open space on the west side of the stadium. On the east side of the stadium, there were also hundreds of foreign wrestlers from the Chinese Martial Arts Province, led by Lie Haiwang and Guo Haihuang, wielding their fists. The martial artists were full of qi and blood, and even if they did not know exorcism techniques, they were enough to suppress evil spirits and dilute the evil aura.

South of the stadium, the Shinshinkai and the Japanese Paorinji Kenpo also sent their disciples, who gathered in a square formation and did the same thing under the leadership of the father and son, Guji Doppo and Guji Katsumi.

The final northern section is even more incredible. It features Coach Masayuki, dressed in a priest's robe, leading a group of muscular guys from Mr. Shirogane's gym in a muscle-building workout. As a priest from the ancestral Muscle Shrine, his muscle stretches were once able to purify Tadakatsu Toyota, and now purifying the "evil spirit" Kanon would be a piece of cake...

The spiritual curtain created by the "Holy Spirit" is not a cage, but a box; it does not block the passage, but filters out what can go out and what can come in.

Seeing the "evil spirit" rushing in, the "holy spirit" leaned against the wall, opened a passage, and let in "four streams" of spiritual energy to suppress the "evil spirit".

Wait, what's going on? Wasn't it said that Kanon and the "Holy Spirit" had erased everyone's memories? What happened...?

Author's Note: This is a two-chapter release. I hope to minimize any unpleasant gaps in the chapters, although they are unavoidable... I'm so sleepy.

Section 957, Chapter 948: Subduing the Evil Spirit

The truth is, Kanon and the "Holy Spirit" only confused everyone under the surveillance of the "evil spirit," but never admitted to erasing the memories of others.

On the contrary, Kanon and the "Holy Spirit" did nothing to the fitness girls like Zhu Mei, Hibiki, and Ayaka. When they woke up, they simply felt tired from exercising, took a shower, and went to sleep. As for the friends present today, after the "Holy Spirit" made them unconscious, he used his mental power to create a dream for them, including Oni-oyama, Retsu Kaiou, Guji Katsumi, and Coach Machi.

In a very detailed and realistic dream, Kanon made a request and arrangement to them. Taking the abandoned gymnasium of the Royal Sakura Academy as the starting point, various groups entered this forest. Those who were supposed to "four groups" were "four groups," those who were supposed to box were boxing, and those who were supposed to lift weights were lifting weights. The choice of this place in Royal Sakura was not random. The Souryuin family were born onmyoji, and the feng shui of this forest was very good. It was full of spiritual energy and would be of great help in suppressing evil spirits.

So everyone actually believed the dream? Yes, on one hand, the scenes in the dream were so realistic that everyone was already somewhat skeptical; on the other hand, after Kanon left, Mieko visited everyone to confirm the arrangements. Given Kanon's excellent interpersonal skills, she had the right to invite everyone to exercise.

Yes, even Miho, who was the first to present Kanon with the choice of whether or not to have her memories erased, did not have her memories erased by the "Holy Spirit".

That night, Kanon stroked Mieko's forehead, recalling every detail of the past: from her inconvenience after her car accident, to their first encounter at the rich young ladies' tea party, to discovering her own talent while searching for a fighter for Mieko, becoming a fighter for the Suoh family to participate in the deadly elimination tournament, confirming their relationship on Ganryu Island, and then to Mieko's worry and joy when Kanon faced strong enemies... Every little detail was the most beautiful memory. They belonged not only to Kanon but also to Mieko, representing an important period in her life. Erasing them, while perhaps to avoid the grief of her lover after her defeat and death, would also deprive Mieko of the beauty of her life.

Life is a mix of laughter and tears. Sunshine and storms are both essential for nourishing the earth. Rather than leaving your loved ones with nothing, it's better to fight together until the very end without regrets.

Therefore, Kanon did not erase the memories of any relatives and friends, nor did she deliberately explain this to Takakaze Kirito, Ito the old butler, and others. She was completely immersed in how to deal with the challenges of the "Black Robe" and the "Evil Spirit", and finally came up with this plan together with the "Holy Spirit".

The plan has now been successful.

Finding herself rapidly weakened, the "evil spirit" howled in agony, no longer daring to charge at the "holy spirit." But the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. As soon as she turned around, the "holy spirit" fired a psionic cannon at her, sending her flying and crashing into the opposite wall. On the other side of that wall were the Sea Kings and Foreign Kings of the Chinese Martial Arts Province. The impact of the martial artist's vigorous blood and energy made the "evil spirit" even more uncomfortable, and it screamed as it plummeted to the ground.

However, to think that the "evil spirit" was defeated so easily and could not rise again would be to underestimate her. In fact, her fall was not entirely to escape the suppression of spiritual energy, but to rush towards Hanon, wanting to "capture the leader first".

How valiant! But it's all for naught… In her normal state, Kanon is naturally easily countered by superpowers; after all, only magic can fight magic, even if one has the best physical attributes. However, Kanon isn't in her normal state at this moment. She's possessed by Tadakatsu Toyota, transformed into a "magical warrior." Her physical body is unaffected by superpowers, and she can easily disrupt mental connections, making her a worthy opponent for superpowered individuals.

When Kanon was possessed by Tadakatsu Toyota, she already had experience fighting against the superpowered girl Mao. From the perspective of the possessed girl, superpowers were nothing more than a "tentacle slime." As long as she could see it and cause it harm, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"So powerful, such intense spiritual energy..." In Hanon's eyes, the "slime" formed by the "evil spirit's" spiritual power was so huge that it blotted out the sky. No wonder she was so strong. Even the "holy spirit," who seemed almost omnipotent to Hanon, could only try her best to deal with it and dared not guarantee that she would win.

"But it's all bark and no bite, its martial arts are too poor, it poses no threat to me." Hana remained confident.

The powerful "evil spirit" is now also in trouble. Various spiritual energies are surging in from all directions, like sunlight melting snow, constantly diminishing her spiritual power. And Hanon, who is possessed by the ghost, can easily damage the "evil spirit's" spiritual power with any attack. Since the "evil spirit" has come looking for her, Hanon rouses her spirit and gives the "slime" a good beating.

As a result, the "evil spirit" not only failed to defeat Hanon, but also suffered severe injuries, feeling even worse than being suppressed by the surrounding spiritual energy. So she turned and retreated to the side, where this time it was a group of muscular men from the north. Their powerful "muscle energy" rushed towards her... Ugh, a bunch of men wearing only shorts showing off their muscles, the scene was too terrifying! Suppressing spiritual energy is also very uncomfortable!

The "evil spirit," which had always appeared either alluring and sinister or manic and tyrannical, finally showed signs of panic and helplessness. Hanon and the "Holy Spirit" exchanged a knowing smile—this formidable enemy, whose threat level was at its maximum, was now powerless!

From the moment the "Holy Spirit" constructed the spiritual energy barrier to the moment the "Evil Spirit" was suppressed by the spiritual energy and beaten by Hanon, the time was actually very short. In the blink of an eye, the "Evil Spirit" went from being invincible to having nowhere to hide. In the end, she choked back sobs and rushed into the body of the "Black Robe," becoming possessed by an evil spirit and never daring to show herself again.

Oh, the "Black Robe," the mastermind behind all the twists and turns, had been doing nothing since being stunned by Hanon, truly "watching" the "evil spirit" fail. Only now, possessed by the "evil spirit," has he regrouped and stood up again.

But whether it's the "black robe" or the "evil spirit," they are already at their last gasp. How can a broken me save a broken you?

There's no turning point in the battle anymore.

"Come on, it's time to settle things." Kanon extended an invitation to the "Holy Spirit" in the air, and the "Holy Spirit" returned the gesture. Then, Tadakatsu Toyota withdrew from Kanon's body, and the "Holy Spirit" slowly descended and merged into her. The four "Yo Kanon" from different timelines, backgrounds, and purposes once again stood on opposite sides in different ways.

I believe the outcome will be decided soon.

Hanon moved. In "Valkyrie Mode," empowered by the spiritual power of the "Holy Spirit," she charged forward and unleashed a "One-Handed Blowout" attack imbued with a shockwave.

She has found a new resonance frequency for the "Black Robe" and is in a possessed state, so she can attack the spirit body. This punch will target both the "Black Robe" and the "evil spirit," and they will both be severely injured!

The "black-robed" countermeasure was... wait? Instead of dodging, she took a step forward, opened her arms, and met Hanon's fist.

"What's that sound?" Hana heard a "tick-tock" sound, and in a flash, she realized, "Oh no! Is that the sound of a bomb...?"

Boom! A cloud of explosion shot into the sky. The final move of "Black Robe" Hana was self-destruction?!
