American comics: I gradually replicate everything

Master Scorpion was struck as if by a heavy blow. He groaned and flew backward, landing with a stagger. He clutched his chest, staring in disbelief and horror at the monkey tail that was slowly retracting and swaying behind Van Can.

"This...this is..."

My tailbone?!

Van Can stood firmly in place, confident of victory despite having only gained the upper hand by one move: "Not bad. How does it feel to apply what you've learned so quickly?"

The Scorpion Master was filled with shock and disbelief.

To learn your opponent's special techniques during a fight? What terrifying talent is that?!

"No wonder...no wonder the tortoise chose you..." she murmured, but then a twisted, cold smile appeared on her face again.

"But... what a pity!"

"The reason why even turtles are wary of my tail stinger, and that a single hit can immediately subdue an enemy... is because of my unique scorpion venom."

You don't have a scorpion tail like mine, nor do you have my scorpion venom!

What good will it do you to learn my tail-pin technique?!

As she spoke, she was about to strike Van Can again with great force.

Van Can remained calm and smiled faintly. "Who says... without a scorpion's tail and venom, one can't defeat an enemy in one strike?"

Just as Master Poison Scorpion was about to make a move, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

As she tried to circulate her qi, her blood and qi in her chest suddenly stagnated, and the power she had gathered instantly dissipated. She felt weak and sore all over her body, and even had difficulty standing up!

"This...this is...the old tortoise's pressure point technique?!"

"good."

The scorpion master's stinger needs to be used in conjunction with his unique scorpion venom to unleash its full power.

Van Cannon doesn't have scorpion venom, but he has the same acupressure technique that can defeat an enemy in one move!

"Come help me! You bunch of bastards, stop hitting that fat panda!" Master Scorpion was both shocked and furious, frantically pleading for help from Master Raccoon and the others who were still besieging Po.

Ah Bao's chubby face was already swollen from the beating, but he still stood there stubbornly, raising his fist and mumbling incoherently.

"You can't defeat me, I... I can fight you all day long!"

They looked pitiful yet comical.

Master Raccoon, Little Dragon, and Monkey immediately abandoned Po, their eyes empty and fierce, and charged toward Van Can.

But it's no use anymore.

At this moment, Van Can possessed both the swift and cunning of the Scorpion Master's tail sting and the precise ability to subdue enemies with the acupoint striking skill.

Although his internal energy had not increased, his martial arts skills had greatly improved.

Faced with the attack, he moved as nimbly as the wind, weaving between the attackers, and it didn't take more than a few moves.

Several soft sounds followed.

The monkey's tail struck out with lightning speed, accurately hitting the opponent's pressure points.

Master Raccoon froze, his forward momentum halted, and his limbs became unresponsive; Little Dragon slumped to the ground; and Golden Monkey was completely frozen in place.

In the blink of an eye, the three were subdued.

Master Poison Scorpion's eyes widened. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he had the idea of ​​retreating and turned to run away!

"Trying to leave?"

Van Can snorted and shot out like an arrow, arriving first despite being behind, blocking Scorpion's path.

"I won't be as merciful as a tortoise and let you go."

"Don't even think about it, I haven't lost yet!"

With his qi and blood stagnating, the Poison Scorpion Master let out a fierce roar and fought like a trapped beast. His scorpion tail and pincers thrashed wildly, and his attacks became even more desperate than before, trying to force Van Ken back and escape, but his strength had already greatly diminished.

Van Can calmly responded, perfectly combining the fluidity of Tai Chi, the swiftness of the tail needle, and the devastating power of acupressure.

After exchanging more than ten blows, the sounds of their clashing energies echoed through the cave.

The monkey's tail, like a nimble snake, bypassed the Poison Scorpion Master's defenses and struck several acupoints on her body with precision.

These few blows were swift and ruthless, the force penetrating deep and completely disrupting the remaining flow of qi within her body.

"Uh... Ah!"

Master Scorpion's body trembled violently, his movements suddenly freezing as if bound by invisible ropes. His hands, feet, torso, and even his tail lost control, like a frozen block of ice, heavy and numb, unable to move an inch.

Only his eyeballs could still move, staring intently at Van Can, filled with resentment and bitterness.

"No...no...this is impossible...for decades...I've endured for decades...how could I...be defeated by the descendant of the tortoise again..."

"It shouldn't be like this."

If you don't know my Tail Needle Technique, you definitely won't escape my grasp today!

Even if I could, if I had foreseen it... if I had been on guard, I definitely wouldn't have let you succeed. You... you defeated me by sneak attack!

She attributed her defeat to Van Can's sneak attack and surprise, as if thinking this way could somehow salvage her shattered self-esteem.

"Does it mean you're allowed to ambush and control others, but others aren't allowed to ambush you?"

Those who are accustomed to ambushes are often defeated by ambushes themselves.

Isn't this... exactly what should be done?

Van Can slowly came to a stop and stood still, saying disdainfully.

"Also, you bad guys call it a sneak attack, we good guys call it a surprise attack."

Master Scorpion subdued Master Raccoon through a sneak attack, but Van Can used the same tactic against him, launching a surprise attack during the battle with his opponent's signature move – a perfectly timed move.

"No...no..."

The scorpion was still howling like a loser, but Van Can was ignoring it.

Master Scorpion said that Van Can won against her by sneak attack, but it wasn't all out of anger.

Master Poison Scorpion never imagined that someone in this world could master her proud and hard-earned skill in such a short time, and even use it to counter her!

It was this unexpected turn of events that allowed Van Can to seize the opportunity and strike decisively.

Otherwise, if the fight continues openly, even with the addition of acupuncture and pressure point techniques, Van Can would not be certain of victory.

The win rate may be only around 50%, or even lower.

After all, a scorpion's stinger, if it only grazes you, could mean the end of the game.

Van Cannes won because of his adaptability and intelligence in battle.

He won, but he also realized that none of the kung fu masters in this world are simple.

……

After subduing the Scorpion Master, Van Can turned and headed toward the cave where he lived.

Deep inside the cave, the light was dim, and a faint herbal scent filled the air.

Van Ken's gaze was quickly drawn to something in the center of the cave: an orchid, suspended above a jade basin.

The legendary sacred sun orchid.

"Exactly as rumored."

The pink petals unfurled, their golden edges gleaming faintly in the dim cave, as if the afterglow of the sun had been frozen onto the petals.

The entire orchid exudes a gentle glow, floating quietly, neither rising nor falling, as if time itself has stopped flowing over it.

"It's hard to believe this flower was picked decades ago?"

Van Ken took a few steps closer and carefully examined the jade basin that held it.

"What is this jade basin? It looks quite unusual."

Its entire surface is smooth and lustrous, radiating a hazy glow, as if it were carved from the finest jade.
