How come our bodies can take a beating with punches, slaps, etc., but if we touch a hot pan even for half a second, you get burned and your skin starts blistering immediately?

These are two totally different types of injuries. Bruises pain is due to pressure sensations (as blood leaks in to muscle and skin) which involves a different type of nerve.
