I'll Stand Here and Let You Hit Me, Promise I Won't Fight Back

A breeze blew through the dense forest, rustling the leaves.

Russell sensed his surroundings, his Magic Power gathered in his eyes, and a faint blue light shone. A breeze, blocked by the scattered Magic Power, swirled around him in a vortex.

Russell didn't know where Jason was, but he had a feeling that Jason was nearby. It was a strange feeling, like secretly playing on your phone in class and suddenly feeling the death stare from your homeroom teacher.

Danger lurks everywhere!

A chilling atmosphere filled the room. Russell licked his dry lips; the situation was dire. A venomous snake was lurking in the shadows, and he couldn't pinpoint its location.

Is this the same Jason who uses his superb ability to conceal his presence and draw his sword at the slightest provocation? Or rather, when did Jason transform from Bloodlust berserker into a deadly assassin?

The atmosphere was tense. Russell was being suppressed, and his mental state was inevitably fluctuating. He had to find a way to regain control of the pace.

"Jason, what are you waiting for? Come on, attack!" Russell grinned. "Are you waiting for your mom... Heh, what an obedient boy. It'll be fun to bully him..."

The tense atmosphere suddenly intensified, and a chilling killing intent descended!

Russell's eyes narrowed, the blue light intensifying. Jason was enraged at the mention of his mother. A burst of Magic Power erupted, and the vortex of energy surrounding him dissipated, stirring up the withered branches and fallen leaves on the ground.

"Jason, if you're waiting for your mother, that's probably going to be difficult. I just blew her head off!"

Boom!!

The murderous intent surged to its peak!

Jason burst from the shadows, an axe appearing out of nowhere, which he raised high and brought down in a sweeping motion. He was incredibly fast, like a heavy Tank, and in the blink of an eye, he was behind Russell.

The cyclone was violently torn apart. Russell sensed something and quickly turned around to aim at Jason. He wasn't afraid of a head-on confrontation; he was just afraid Jason wouldn't come out!

With both pistols held horizontally in front of him, Russell emptied the magazines in a second. The blue bullets fired from the barrels generated powerful kinetic energy, striking Jason's muscular body, halting his charge and knocking him back.

The axe handle was blasted into pieces, and the bullets hit Jason but didn't penetrate his armor. He's gotten stronger; last time, the bullets could even penetrate his skin.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

Jason has this kind of backstory?

The reason doesn't matter; with a Witch mother, nothing that happens to him would surprise Russell.

Jason picked up the axe, which had broken in two, and threw it with all his might at Russell. The spinning axe was powerful and heavy, causing a loud whistling sound.

Using Magic Power to enhance his dynamic vision, Russell caught the trajectory of the axe. Without time to reload, he held his two pistols to his chest and blocked the flying axe.

Clang!

Sparks flew as the axe and dual pistols were knocked away simultaneously. Russell glanced at his hands, which were split open, and silently chanted to activate his Character Card.

[Bite!]

[Host equipped with 'Character Card: Xiao Feng', confirming overwrite of character skin, countdown 380 seconds, timer begins.]

The time was unexpectedly long, exceeding five minutes.

In the brief moment, Jason had already rushed in front of Russell, pressing his two large hands against Russell's neck.

Russell raised his hands to meet Jason's, interlocking his fingers and clamping them tightly around Jason's hands. A sudden surge of force struck, and Russell, caught off guard, was pushed back two steps by Jason's terrifying brute strength.

Not only are their speed and defense improved, but their strength is also greater than before!

Russell exerted force with his ten fingers, his bent fingers as hard as iron. With a tearing sound, he snapped Jason's fingers and tore off half of his hand along with them.

Jason, now without his hands, was lost and confused when Russell kicked him in the chest, which was wide open. His body flew like a kite with a broken string, crashing straight into the bushes, hitting a large tree, bouncing up before falling to the ground.

Seventy-two Shaolin Arts - Dragon Claw Hand!

Discarding the severed finger, Russell shook off the black blood and strode towards Jason's location.

Xiao Feng truly lived up to his reputation as one of the Four Peerless Masters of Tian Long; his martial arts had reached a transcendent level. Equipped with his Character Card, Russell felt unprecedentedly powerful. A continuous stream of power circulated within his body, and even the slightest movement of his fist or foot was filled with immense power.

"So strong!"

This was a valuable opportunity to experience the martial arts, and it was a long one, so it couldn't be wasted. A strange look flashed in Russell's eyes; he needed a tough punching bag to help him remember Xiao Feng's martial arts moves better.

The sandbag... no, it was Jason got up from the ground, his hand already healed. Black blood dripped from the bottom of his Hockey Mask, his tall, silent body exuding a menacing aura and radiating a ferocious killing intent.

Pure killing intent, without the slightest impurity!

Seeing Jason charging towards him like a cannonball, Russell snorted coldly, gathered his strength to steady himself, his feet slightly sinking into the ground, and then his palms moved up and down, unleashing a move called "Double Dragons Taking Water".

Xiao Feng was a martial arts prodigy, possessing the strengths of both the Shaolin and Beggar's Sect' Sects, and mastering several unique martial arts techniques. These included the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Dragon Claw Hand, Dog Beating Staff Technique, Dragon Capturing Skill, Grand Ancestor Long Fist, Demon Subduing Palm... Oh, and he also knew the Cloud Dispelling Palm.

But the martial art that he truly mastered to perfection, making him virtually unbeatable, was the Eighteen Subduing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

Russell has no internal energy. Once the Character Card expires, he has nothing left in his body except Magic Power.

Can Magic Power replace internal energy?

It's probably unlikely, since one is into martial arts and the other into Western fantasy; they're not on the same wavelength and there's no comparison.

However, the more profound the martial arts, the deeper the principles of Martial Path they contain. Even just a few moves and routines can lead to a whole host of practical skills, broadening one's horizons and providing endless benefits.

Therefore, Russell used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms without hesitation, the pinnacle of external martial arts. No matter how many chances he was given, he would not make a second choice.

Russell used the "Double Dragons Taking Water" technique to deflect Jason's force, then thrust both palms forward with a powerful, sweeping strike that shocked the surrounding area.

A faint golden light flashed, followed by a thunderous roar. A surge of immense power erupted from Russell's palm, crashing into Jason's limbs and bones, shattering his internal organs. Jason was struck as if by a speeding train; blood splattered across the sky, and his body flew backward, crashing through two large trees before tumbling to the ground.

Russell closed his eyes to comprehend it; it was truly powerful. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms were fierce, swift, and exhilarating, but something was missing... It would be perfect if there were a sound system.

Meanwhile, during the brief moment Russell closed his eyes to meditate, Jason was once again fully revived and stood up. Perhaps because he had never seen Russell's attack method before, he was completely bewildered and stood there, seemingly confused.

If the enemy doesn't move, I will!

Seeing Jason standing there frozen in place, Russell walked over without a word, showing no remorse whatsoever for beating up a child. It wasn't that he didn't understand the importance of protecting minors, but rather that Jason was too tall and strong; he felt no pressure at all!

The dragon appears in the field!

Dragon Flies in the Sky!

The hidden dragon should not be used!

Miyun but no rain!

Frost arrives, ice forms; dragons battle in the wilderness; a divine dragon swings its tail, its power shocking the land for miles around...

The Dragon's Roar!

After Russell unleashed a set of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, every cell in his body seemed to be cheering with joy, while Jason was completely lost in a daze.

Having never been exposed to martial arts, I couldn't understand why an ordinary slap could have such great power, or what was with all that golden light flying everywhere.

Russell stared intently at Jason and began his second viewing. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was a profound martial art; there was no reason why his body would memorize it after just one viewing. To be on the safe side, he would practice it several more times.

Let's set a small goal first: ten times!

Boom! Boom! Boom—

As a result, the wind from the palms rippled through the dense forest, and booming sounds were accompanied by flashes of golden light. Jason flew around in mid-air, his stiff body like a broken sack, never touching the ground.

About six minutes later, the Character Card expired, and Russell's momentum diminished, losing the aura that had made him seem invincible.

Jason scrutinized Russell, who was completely disoriented and disoriented from the beating. Only after confirming that Russell had passed his power spike did Jason let out a low growl and launch his attack. This was the first time Jason had made a sound in front of Russell, and that simple roar contained so much bitterness; he had never been beaten so badly before.

"System, use 'Character Card: Hong Qi'!"

[Bite!]

[Host equipped with 'Character Card: Hong Qi', confirming overwriting character skin. Countdown 300 seconds, start now.]

Five minutes, that's not a short timeframe this time!

Russell nodded in satisfaction, his inner strength surging, and his aura surged once again. Compared to Xiao Feng, it was not as powerful, but it was enough.

Jason stopped charging forward. His Beast instincts told him that if he charged now, the outcome would be no different than before.

Russell beckoned to Jason, "Come on, Jason, why are you standing there? Missing your mom again?"

Jason remained silent, hesitant, and even took two steps back.

It's a trap. Stay calm and don't fall for it!

Russell grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "Don't be afraid, I'll just stand here and let you hit me, I promise I won't fight back!"
