C38 One VS Two

*Crash!*

The body of the tricycle collided heavily with the motorbike, causing the people riding on it to fly into the air from the impact.

Having already prepared himself, Ye Hong jumped up high from the tricycle to prevent him from losing all control of his body.

[Ding! Jumping Ability: +1, Current progress 1/10, Current level: Beginner-level.]

In the air, Ye Hong grabbed onto the little girl and hugged her tightly in his embrace as they both fell to the ground.

Using his body as a cushion and his enhanced arm strength to protect the little girl, Ye Hong managed to prevent her from getting injured from the fall.

[Ding! Arm Strength: +1…]

Although the girl landed safely in his protection, Ye Hong ended up suffering a worse fate.

As his body collided with the uneven ground, he slid several meters away on his back while prioritizing the girl's safety over his own. When he came to a stop, a burning pain searing along his back as he grimaced in agony.

This was the most intense pain he had felt since birth!

[Ding! Injured body.... Body Resistance: +1…]

[Ding! Body undergoing recovery... Recovery Ability: +1, Current progress: 1/10, Current level: Beginner-level.]

At that instant, a strange, icy feeling appeared in the wound on his back, greatly alleviating the tremendous amount of pain.

Meanwhile, the motorcycle and tricycle were both overturned by the side of the road. However, the electric tricycle was now burning like a candle as black smoke spewed out from its remains.

Ye Hong revealed a bitter smile, seeing how the tricycle was completely scrapped now.

He smiled at the little girl and said, "Don't be afraid, big brother is here to save you!"

To his surprise, the little girl had stopped crying long ago as she obediently nodded, "Xian'er is not afraid, Xian'er is very brave!"

"You damn brat, are you trying to kill us?!"

"Hmph! If I don't break your arms and legs today, I won't be able to quell the hatred burning in my heart!"

The two kidnappers also got back up from the ground.

With their masks now gone, it revealed two scarred, fiendish faces that would've been better covered up.

Despite suffering a few minor injuries, it did not affect their movements whatsoever.

The two of them clenched their fists tightly and quickly rushed towards Ye Hong.

"Xian'er, go wait for big brother at the side."

The little girl pulled up her skirt and cleverly found a wall on the side. Hiding behind it, she quietly stuck out her little head and looked at Ye Hong with utmost concern.

Ye Hong looked at the two kidnappers that were rapidly approaching him. Though nervous, he, at the same time, felt a surge of indescribable excitement.

Imitating the martial artists in saw in various films, he switched into a boxing stance and focused all his attention on the opponents before him.

Incoming!

At that instant, two thick fists were already swinging towards him, carrying a ruthless force.

[Ding! Beginner-level Concentration Ability has been activated... Beginner-level Vision has been activated...]

Suddenly, Ye Hong felt as if time had slowed down as the speed of the two fists became much slower. Furthermore, he could now tell the trajectories of the punches with ease.

"This speed... I can dodge them!"

With a split-second calculation, Ye Hong squatted down and dodged the two attacks by a hair's breadth.

[Ding! Reaction Time: +1... Evasion: +1…]

Time to counterattack!

Ye Hong — still keeping a close eye of their movements — swung his fists directly into their abdomens.

[Ding! Arm Strength: +1... Fist Strength: +1…]

"Ugh!"

"Agh!"

Upon getting hit by Ye Hong, the two kidnappers almost threw up as they retreated a few steps back. Kneeling on the ground and leaning forward, they clutched onto the stomach in agonizing pain.

Two clean KOs!

Ye Hong clenched his fist in a rush of adrenaline.

This feeling of victory was certainly much better than his previous fight — when he scared away the hooligans in the alley with mere stones.

With a malicious smile, he slowly approached the two traffickers.
