Chapter 10

Brian Carter's eyes lit up. Such a ferocious barrage of punches was already the limit among two-star warriors, and almost all possible escape routes had been completely sealed off!

"Luohan sleeping, dragon covers the body, heart-splitting, shoulder-shaking double collision punch!"

A line from the Shaolin Luohan Fist formula flashed through Brian Carter's mind. His body instinctively leaned back, just like a Luohan sleeping, his ankle suddenly twisting, driving his waist to bend, his body slightly contracting—'dragon covers the body'!

The 'Earth-shattering Strike' that had sealed off all dodging options was actually forcefully evaded by Brian Carter!

As 'dragon covers the body' flashed by, Brian Carter shook both arms and unleashed a double punch, executing the 'turning double mountain press' from Shaolin Luohan Fist! He charged straight at David Cooper's chest and abdomen!

Roar! David Cooper's chest caved and expanded, his muscles tensed up like solid rock, and he let out another thunderous tiger roar! He bent his knees slightly, retracted his fists, raised his knee, swung his leg! The Thirteen Iron Body Protectors were pushed to their hardening limit, ready to exchange blows with Brian Carter.

Victory! As I Am Present's eyes suddenly shone, but the joy on his face lasted less than a split second before turning to shock.

How could this be? Everyone was stunned. In a flash, Brian Carter actually lay flat on the ground, performing 'Luohan sleeping', dodging David Cooper's 'Sweeping Across the Army', and at the same time, supporting himself with both palms, he kicked David Cooper's chin while in a handstand. With a twist of his shoulders, his elbows sprang up, and Brian Carter flipped upside down into the air!

David Cooper's body was already kicked into the air, and Brian Carter's second kick, launched from his inverted position, struck fiercely at David Cooper's ear!

The ear controls a person's balance. The Thirteen Iron Body Protectors can train the body's muscles, and even the ears are stronger than normal, but in the face of 'Dragon Elephant Prajna Power', they're not much different from ordinary ears—at least, the second stage of the Thirteen Iron Body Protectors can't make the ears as tough as steel!

Once his balance was broken, the power of the Thirteen Iron Body Protectors immediately weakened. Brian Carter had already sprung high into the air, like a hawk soaring into the clouds, stomping down on David Cooper's chest, then a fourth, savage stomp landed on David Cooper's Adam's apple—this was the 'Stepping Up the Mountain' move from Shaolin Luohan Fist!

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out. The Thirteen Iron Body Protectors' defense was broken, and David Cooper's body could no longer remain as hard as stone, unable to withstand such a powerful blow. His vision suddenly went black, and he was ejected from the battle network system.

"David Cooper is dead. The duel is over." The electronically mixed voice of a beautiful woman once again echoed in everyone's ears.

Chapter 6: Run After Winning?

Brian Carter looked a bit apologetically at the vanished David Cooper. According to the rules of the Sky Martial Battle Network, those who die in battle cannot log in again for a week, unless someone spends money to buy a resurrection stone to bring them back early.

Death means being unable to log in to the Sky Martial Battle Network for a week! This was also one of the main reasons why Brian Carter had been reluctant to fight others. Losing wasn't scary; what was scary was not being able to log in for a week to write articles and earn money.

As I Am Present and the others still couldn't believe what had just happened before their eyes. The hardening defense of the 'Thirteen Iron Body Protectors' was already formidable, and with the help of the 'Iron Armor Pill', David Cooper's defense had been pushed to the limit! The 'Stone-Splitting Jade-Smashing Fist' was also a martial art that required money to purchase, yet he was defeated in an instant?

And... what everyone found most incomprehensible was that Brian Carter had been using 'Shaolin Luohan Fist' from start to finish!

Since when did a fitness routine from a boxing style become so powerful? Everyone had practiced 'Shaolin Luohan Fist' a few times before, but never felt it had any real power!

Taking a deep breath, Brian Carter savored the boiling blood from the battle. The fight just now was simply too exhilarating! Thinking back on it now, it all felt like a dream!

He transferred ninety dollars into his bank account and downloaded the recording of the recent battle. Three fights were enough to write an article.

"Thirty-six hours! I want to fight you again!" The just-defeated David Cooper, with the help of a resurrection stone, logged in once more.

"Another fight?" Brian Carter exhaled deeply, suppressing the fighting spirit that had just surged up, and gently shook his head. "Not today."

Without waiting for David Cooper to say anything else, Brian Carter decisively chose to log off. He was afraid that if David Cooper offered a cash wager, he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation again.

Today had already been too unusual; he couldn't let it get any stranger! Brian Carter took off his helmet and looked up at the round moon in the sky, recalling all the miraculous things that had happened since school ended. He thought he should go to the hospital for a checkup! Would swallowing that liquid metal have any bad effects on his body?

Forget it! Brian Carter shook his head vigorously. What if the hospital treated him like a lab rat for scientific experiments?

"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!" David Cooper roared loudly in the arena. "Win and then run! How can someone be so classless! Next time, I'll make sure he can't log in to the battle network for a week!"

"That's right!" As I Am Present also said unhappily, "From now on, every time we see him, we beat him! Drive him out of the battle network for good!"

"Qinlin, Shanhe, don't be so angry. I've already posted about that guy winning and running on the official website..."
