Chapter 403: Chapter 403: The Combined Technique of Uncle Dragon and Jade
Robert and Jackie Chan's moves were constantly changing within seconds. Jackie wanted to hit Robert to prove himself, but unfortunately, although his moves changed quickly, he couldn't gain any advantage against Robert. In fact, if Robert hadn't been solely focused on defense, Jackie would have been punched away by now.
Even in a defensive stance, Robert managed to block Jackie's next attack.
With a "snap," Robert caught Jackie's fist with his palm, rendering Jackie unable to move his arm.
With a "buzz," a mysterious dragon-shaped force suddenly burst from Jackie's arm, accompanied by a dragon's roar. The next moment, a surge of pure energy, taking the form of a dragon, struck at Robert's arm.
Sensing this energy, Robert raised an eyebrow. This energy was somewhat similar to qi, more so than any other energy attacks Robert had encountered. It seemed to be a variant of qi in this world, akin to a twin brother of qi magic.
With a "hiss," the powerful dragon-shaped energy exploded from Jackie's fist, trying to free him. However, Robert's palm formed a barrier of qi energy, trapping the dragon-shaped energy within.
The powerful dragon energy, which Jackie considered formidable, couldn't help him break free from Robert's grasp.
With a "buzz," Jackie's dragon power continued to surge, transforming his body slightly as his strength increased. If Jackie's use of dragon power was one-dimensional before, it now flowed through every inch of his body.
This transformation wasn't like becoming a Super Saiyan or entering a dual-star state, but it was somewhat similar to using Thor's hammer, though without the costume change.
With a "boom," Jackie's power increased several times after the transformation. The burst of dragon power allowed him to break free from Robert's grip, and Jackie used the recoil to quickly retreat.
Knowing his close combat skills were inferior to Robert's, Jackie wisely chose to distance himself and test his long-range abilities instead.
With a "buzz," as Jackie retreated, Robert didn't pursue. The next moment, dragon power erupted from Jackie again, and a dragon surged from his fist towards Robert.
With a "hiss," a wave of energy shot from Robert's fingers, clashing with Jackie's dragon energy. The two energies canceled each other out, both sustained by a continuous flow of power, creating a temporary stalemate.
"People say Pietro and Lorna are overpowered, but Uncle Dragon is the real deal. His strength has jumped from a super-soldier level to a demon king level. With this power, he could contend with the masked man..." Robert mused, feeling the continuous surge of dragon power from Jackie.
"However, defeating the masked man would still be difficult for him. Fortunately, Uncle Dragon has rich combat experience, so he wouldn't lose too quickly."
"This power is interesting, and not only does Uncle Dragon have it, but Jade also possesses it and seems almost as strong as Uncle Dragon. Does this mean this power can be replicated?"
With a "swish," as Robert pondered, a figure appeared beside him, throwing a punch.
This figure wasn't large, but their strength matched Uncle Dragon's exactly!
With a "snap," Jade's fist stopped before Robert's fingers, causing cracks in the ground around them, but Robert remained unmoved. Jade's strength was impressive but not enough to threaten Robert.
Robert was pleased that Jade seized the moment to attack, demonstrating rich combat experience by taking advantage of Robert's distraction.
"Not bad. Before, you could only beat Uncle Dragon with tricks, but now you can really face him," Robert said, smiling at Jade, who retreated while shaking her numb arm.
"Master, you're really something. Even the old man who trained us to master dragon power wasn't this formidable. He couldn't block my attack with a finger, especially when distracted..." Jade said, looking at Robert with a bit of helplessness.
Though aware of Robert's strength, the feeling of never being able to gauge his true power was frustrating.
With a "poof," Robert's energy wave suddenly intensified, dispersing Jackie's dragon energy and sending him stumbling back.
"Jade!"
"I'm here, Uncle Dragon!"
As Robert was about to withdraw, Jackie shouted to Jade, who responded quickly, moving towards him.
"Eh?" Robert noticed their energies synchronizing, their powers merging into one.
If not for the fact that their bodies hadn't merged and they weren't dancing, Robert might have suspected they had a Metamoran Fusion-like ability.
Their energies linked, boosting each other's power without diminishing their own, achieving a double power increase!
"Hey, Master, watch out. This is the move we used to graduate from Kunlun!" Jade said, grinning as she felt the familiar surge of power, then vanished.
As Jade disappeared, so did Jackie.
With a "swish" and a "swish," Jackie and Jade appeared on either side of Robert, throwing punches. Robert raised an eyebrow and blocked with his arms, countering their synchronized attacks.
With a "swish," Robert ducked, avoiding their attacks, then kicked them both away.
"Indeed!" Seeing them fly off in different directions, Robert smiled, realizing their synchronized power dropped when they were apart, reverting to their original states.
Both Jackie and Jade noticed this, quickly moving towards each other...
But Robert appeared between them, his speed so fast they both felt they were facing his true form, then were knocked away again.
With a "hiss," Robert's hand formed an invisible qi blade, slashing at Jackie and Jade, sending them sprawling on the ground and their auras returning to normal levels.
"Wow! Did we lose already?" Jade exclaimed, looking a bit disheveled and incredulous.
"Sure enough, the gap is huge. We thought we were strong after completing the special training, but Robert found our weakness and defeated us so quickly..." Jackie said, somewhat ruefully.
"Good thing we didn't believe that old man's words. Otherwise, we'd have been overconfident and vulnerable against real strong opponents!"
"Right, he said our strength was top-tier on Earth and that our combined dragon power made us almost invincible..." Jade pouted. Despite training under Robert and encountering various extraordinary events, she still sometimes felt overconfident.
Unfortunately, their fight with Robert quickly dispelled any arrogance, making it clear their power difference was immense. Jackie and Jade could see Robert wasn't even trying his best.
"Your strength is good, but being the strongest on Earth is impossible," Robert smiled, trying to comfort them.
Without using their trump cards, Jackie and Jade had demon king-level power. With their trump cards, they might even defeat the masked man.
Their strength wasn't weak at all. Even without Thor's hammer, Z Fighters like Pietro and Lorna wouldn't be a match for them.
Tony Stark's painstakingly developed armor was at best demon king level, and likely couldn't withstand Jackie and Jade's attacks.
So their strength wasn't weak, but claiming to be Earth's top tier was unrealistic. Robert knew Earth's strongest included Superman Clark and Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One...
Following them were Robert, Diana, Martian Manhunter, and Kara, all far stronger than Jackie and Jade. Kunlun, which trained them, seemed to lack accurate information on Earth's strongest.
But this didn't mean Kunlun wasn't powerful. Training Jackie and Jade to this level was impressive.
Especially if Kunlun could help more people reach this level, their strength warranted careful consideration.
"Are there many strong people in Kunlun? Where do you rank?" Robert asked Jackie.
"Honestly, we didn't see many strong people in Kunlun. We mostly dealt with an old man who taught us," Jackie said, shaking his head.
"The old man was strong but was eventually beaten by Jade and me. No stronger people stopped us from leaving, so it seemed we were quite powerful in Kunlun..."
"Didn't he also say we were the weakest Iron Fists?" Jade muttered, dissatisfied. "First he said we were strong on Earth, then said we were the weakest Iron Fists. Was he messing with us?"
"If that white guy got the Iron Fist title, he'd be the weakest. Luckily, we eliminated him!"
