Today was another boring old day. I don't even understand why we have to guard this place. No one in the world knows about this place anyway... huh? Wait? What? Who the hell is that? A teenager?
On one of the CCTV screens, there was a guy wearing a black jacket and a white shirt under the jacket. He was wearing jeans and looked like some guy right out of college. What the hell was someone like that doing here? Is he on a picnic? Or something? No! This is a no-entry zone. If he got in here, it means he has somehow broken in or sneaked in, but that's impossible!
And just then, to the guards' shock, the young man looks right at the camera and smiles before pulling out what seemed like a gun! Fast, and a second later the camera was offline... and the guard had no words. Without a second, he pushed the red button hard!!! In a second, all of the Ten Rings Headquarters were on alert! The siren started to roar! ...
----
Oh, that should have done it. Huh? This revolver Ava got for me is pretty cool. Huh? Anyway, now the Ten Rings should be coming down any second. Hmm, wait, will they use guns? Or not? From what I saw in the movie, the Ten Rings did not use guns; they used old-school weapons but just more high-tech...
And just as I was thinking, a black jeep comes out from the woods, and it stops, and 6 people get out, and all of them have guns in their hands, and well, that answered my question, and before anyone could speak, I spoke, "Take me to your leader," and without speaking, the guys just started to shoot... and I smiled...
"You want to play dirty? Fine," I shoot my gun at all of them fast. With chi running through my body, I was much faster. I jump to the left, dodging most of the bullets, and I shoot all of them dead... With Chi Detection, I knew where all of them were even without looking at them... "Ha, this will be harder this way. What's an easier way?" I look at the jeep, which had the 6 dead people around it, and I smile...

On the other sight the cameras were getting turned off left and right and Xu Wenwu noticed the panic... he stood up and walked out of his study room and looked out of the window and spoke "who is it?" and one of the guards spoke fast "Sir it's just a little problem no need to worry there seems to be someone infiltrating near our boarders but don't worry form what we understand its just one person" and Xu Wenwu was more confused then anything else but not for a second did he though 'Must be someone who just happened to walk pass the boarders... or maybe its someone form that shield.." but after a second of though Xu Wenwu did not think about it more and was about to go back to his study room...
BOOMMM!!!!!
A black Jeep out of nowhere broke through the walls of the base and landed and crashed right inside the hall, and the guard was shocked, and everyone quickly gathered around the crashed Jeep. No one other than Xu noticed that the jeep was glowing a little, but then that glow went away like it was never there...
----
'Oh shit, I did not know using Chi infusion on a jeep would make the jeep go fast, and also it went through more than one wall, but somehow it was not that badly broken, huh? Chi infusion is more useful than I thought... anyway, I casually kick the jeep door open! And then I step out, and I dust my clothes a little, and I take my sunglasses off as I walk out of the crashed Jeep.
And I noticed how everyone had their weapons—staffs, knives, swords, and guns—aimed at me, and with a smile, I spoke, "Oh, all this just for little old me? You guys are funny. Anyway, where is your leader?" I speak in a smug tone as I look around, and I saw Xu from the start. I even knew it was him because his chi was so strong, almost like a light in the night. The rings around his arms gave off a sense of strong Chi... but I had to act a little smug; that's how James Lee is, after all.
Not even a second later, one man dressed in all black, looking like a ninja, jumps at me with a staff in his hands, and without even looking at him, I casually dodge his staff, but the guy keeps trying to hit me fast and hard, and it looks like I am struggling, which I am to a limit. Without chi, I am pretty sure I would have been hit by this guy's staff by now. His skill is nothing like I have seen before... no, it's not skill; he is trying to kill me... that's why I am having trouble fighting him hand to hand... even though I have had over 100 fights in VR, there is real-life skill and experience that I can't just learn or catch up to in a few months...
And looking at me struggling, Xu turned around and was going to walk away, but then...
BOOM! Whoosh! Bang!
And the guy I was fighting went flying, crashing into the wall, and everyone saw only one thing: my fist, which was glowing. And with a smile, I look right at Xu, and then I put my hand in my pockets and speak, "Khan? Mandarin? What should I call you? old man who does not belong in this era," and hearing my words for a second, Xu was stunned; even shock could be seen on his face, and then Xu speaks, "Li, test that boy," and without a second, someone jumps at me fast. For a second, I almost got punched only because of Chi, I even dodged!
Jumping back, I looked at a man wearing a whitish mask on his forehead, only covering his eyes; the rest of his face was covered by the ninja outfit he wore, and I knew this dude. He was Death Dealer, the man who trained Shang-Chi in the movie...
"What? Why won't you come yourself? Mandarin, are you scared? old man?" And just as I was speaking, I was dodging all of Death Dealer's punches and kicks fast, and just then Death Dealer pulled out a knife and then started to slash and jab fast with the knife in his hands, and I barely dodged and pulled my one hand out of my pocket and threw a punch—my fist was glowing golden once again—right at Death Dealer, and he dodged it fast, doing a backflip in the air. He landed a kick on my shoulder, making me fall to my one knee...
"Who are you now? Some ninja who has put his whole life into fighting or something? cliché like that?" And hearing my words, Death Dealer speaks in a cold tone, "Boy, you say big words for someone who has not even fought a life-and-death battle." It seems Death Dealer has noticed how I fought. It was true after all; I had never had a hand-to-hand fight in a life-and-death situation before...
But just then I grab Death Dealer's leg, which was still on my shoulder, and my hand starts to glow a little. Before Death Dealer knows it, he is feeling weak... and then I pull him down hard, grabbing him by his head, and I hold him like that for a few seconds, and then Death Dealer twists his legs and spins and gets out of my grip and jumps away from me, and now Death Dealer pulls out his staff and more than one knife...
And then, without a second later, Death Dealer throws more than one knife at me while running at me fast with his staff, and this time I dodge everything with almost no effect, and I even slap his staff away and kick his calf right before he was about to throw a kick, turn around, and dodge his punch while landing a spin back kick right on his chest! Pushing Death Dealer back fast! And the death dealer holds his staff and looks in pure shock! And at this point, everyone was looking at this in pure shock; even Xu had a dumbfounded look on his face for a few seconds...
"What? Happened? That kid was losing, but just a few seconds of fighting later, he is now winning against the Dealer of all people." Someone else speaks, "No, did you notice? Has his fighting style changed? One of the other guards kept speaking out their observations, and one of them spoke in an almost shocked, awed tone, "No, he, he is improving while he is fighting, learning from Death Dealer..." And just like that, another guard said, "No, that would be impossible. If he could do that, then he might be the greatest genius we have ever seen!"
And while everyone was looking at the fight, the one who was the most shocked was Xu Wenwu himself because he had lived through hundreds of years! He knew a lot about fighting, and what he just saw almost made years and years of knowledge seem pointless. Xu thought, 'That's impossible. He has some sort of power for sure. He is stronger than a normal human for sure, and when his fists start to glow, his punches are bone-breaking, but that's not the impossible part. The impossible part is how he is now overpowering Death Dealer... That should be simply impossible because even though Death Dealer was not stronger than a human, he was, in fact, more skilled than that boy, so no matter how strong you hit, if you can't land a hit, you are useless... That boy, he should have lost... not what's happening right now...'
While in the hall, Leo was casually dodging the knives that Death Dealer threw at him. Leo even grabbed one of the knives out of the air and then started to fight Death Dealer with a knife in close combat, and Leo was fairly keeping up with Death Dealer, even sometimes cutting Death Dealer a few times on the shoulder, waist, and forearm! And then, with a grunt, Death Dealer grabs his staff hard and swings it fast and hard in all sorts of styles, and I move with Death Dealer, almost copying how he moved and dodging with ease... but just then, Death Dealer throws himself in the air by using the end of his staff; he spins in the air fast and brings the staff down with him! Onto Leo's face, but just then Leo's fist starts to glow! And then...
BOOM! Bam!
And Death Dealer was sent flying back, but he does more than one backflip and lands on his feet, and Death Dealer was stunned out of his mind; he even had a sense of fear in his eyes when he saw this boy in front of him right now. Leo looked like a monster, and Leo just stood there for a second, breathing air, and he had closed his eyes, and then he opened them. Leo had this shit-eating grin on his face!
'Ah, it works! Really, what did I do? Well, when Death Dealer kicked my shoulder, I got on my one knee just to buy some time, and then I first used Chi Absorption to make Death Dealer weak for a few seconds, and then, while using Chi Absorption, I also grabbed his forehead and used Chi Mind Meld... In a few seconds, I learned about months' worth of fighting skills knowledge and a lot of other things too, but I could not copy all of Death Dealer's knowledge in my mind. Maybe if I had a few minutes or at least one hour, I could take in all of the knowledge that Death Dealer had about fighting... Ah, yeah, Chi is broken. It was a good choice to go and get it...'
And Death Dealer was about to run at me again, but just then I heard a voice that made everyone else stop and stand still...
"You wanted to meet me?"
