Chapter 33 - What will happen then? Chapter 33

"F-Father!"

And Xu looks back and sees Shang-Chi! And then Xu spoke in a worried tone, "Shang-Chi! Run! Get out of here!" And Xu dodges one more punch as he speaks, and just then I speak in a smug tone, "Shang who? Is that now? Old man, you sound worried. Is that someone important to you?" And when Xu hears my words, he frowns and starts to fight more wildly, swinging the Ten Rings around, and he smashes the rings against each other! fast to make a huge blue arc of light!

Zap!!! Fizz!!!

I actually took one step back because the lighting was actually kind of painful... Xu never did anything like this in the movie... but it does not matter! I clench my fists hard and slam down with all 4 of my fists on the floor! 

BOOM!!!

The ground breaks apart below me, exploding hard and sending the stone slabs everywhere! The shockwave from the ground clashes with the blue lightning arc. The clash almost broke apart everything that was left around us... 

But Xu was still standing, the Ten Rings floated back to Xu's hands, and just when Xu thought, 'What was that? I have never fought someone like that before... Was that thing the young brat? Or was that its true form? And because there was dust everywhere, Xu could not see anything, but before Xu could end his thoughts... something came fast, flying at him from above, and Xu, without a second wasted, used the ten rings to break apart the rocks that came at him, but to Xu's shock, just then, when he was about to pull the ring back to him, the Red Giant jumped in the air and grabbed onto the ring and pulled hard, and Xu got pulled hard!

And before Xu knows it, he is caught by me. All of my 4 hands hold him. My 2 hands hold his wrists while one of my hands keeps holding his one ring, while my other hand grabs on to his neck, and I start to squeeze slowly! "Ha, caught you, old man! You were speaking a lot, huh? Now what's up? And yeah, I have to give you props. You are strong, but not strong enough!" And while speaking, I was already using Chi Absorption and Chi Siphon lifeforce... 

"I admit it I understatement you were more stealth..." And before Xu could speak anymore, I slam him down on the ground...

BAM...

"That one was payback for before," and I was still holding Xu with all four of my hands, and I stopped absorbing chi because the amount of chi this man had was alarming... it almost felt like a sea! And don't even get me started on the life force! I have been using Chi Siphon Lifeforce at 100% for, like, the past 30 seconds! But he still has not aged... I am pretty sure I have at least gotten 10 years from his life force!

"Huh, you almost seem endlessly old, man. Let's get out of here for now, and you! Don't worry, I'll bring your father back! But before that! You better keep your mouth shut, Shang-Chi!" And without saying anything else, I jumped and went in the sky, falling down from the hill and jumping from one place to another, and before anyone could come, Leo and the Great Khan were nowhere to be found. The only one who knew both of them were alive was a young 8-year-old Shang-Chi, who was near broken walls covered in dust...

BANG! BANG...BANG!..

I jump away far enough every time Xu tries to wake up. I bang him on the ground, knocking him out once again, and once I am on the ground in thes, I throw Xu back on the ground, and he falls down on the grass. The night was dark; there was no one around in the woods... I casually tap the watch head on my shoulder, and then a green light covers me, and then I transform back to human.

Xu was not this strong in the movie unless he was truly holding back... against Shang-Chi... He also used that blue arc-like lightning, and sure, he could hold people in the air or fly by using the blue light, but he never threw a bolt of lightning in the movie... This world is not a movie..'. I have to be more careful next time if I am going to do something like this again... but now the next thing is simple.

I walk closer to the knocked-out Xu, who was bleeding a little, and I grab his head, and without a second wasted, I start to use Chi Mind Meld! ... In seconds, days and weeks of information rush to my mind, and Xu's mind holds so much knowledge... it was almost unexplainable. The best way to compare it is like I only have 3 GB worth of knowledge, while Xu's knowledge was like a Terabyte... and without a second of waiting, I rush into the mind of one of the oldest people alive, and well, I saw a lot of war, love, death, freedom, power, dreams, land, gold, women, royalty, peace, and most of all, fighting...

But that was not something I was looking for. I was only looking for 2 things: one, everything about fighting, all martial arts Xu had learned, every time Xu had fought, every time Xu had killed... and the other thing I was looking for was everything about the Ten Rings...

Leo kept using mind meld for 6 minutes without stopping.

I open my eyes and stand up, and I let a breath out. ' Ahh, it's only been a few minutes, but it feels like months have gone away... I learned so much about fighting... like months' worth of information... but I still have nowhere to learn everything about fighting from Xu. The most things I learned everything about were, well, the Ten Rings! and I realize how they work...

I put my hands on the rings on Xu's hands, and then I use Chi infusion on the rings, infusing a lot of my chi into the rings before the rings start to shake, and a second later, the rings fly to my hands. All 10 rings go around my hands, and I take a deep breath, and oh? I feel so strong! Almost unstoppable... Oh, so that's how it works, huh?

'In the movie they don't explain how Xu ends up getting the 10 rings and using them... but while I was looking into Xu's mind, I think I know how everything happened... First of all, Xu was a monster, to say the least. He was in war form at a very early age, and he was most of the time winning even before he found the rings, which Xu found in a tomb... and then he was able to use them, but that's what Xu thinks. What I think is that the reason Xu used to win so many times is because he naturally, without knowing what Chi is, learned how to use Chi..'.

And so when Xu came near the Ten Ring they woke up because of the active Chi inside Xu and that's how he is able to use the Ten Rings and this also explains how Shang-Chi's mom was able to control the Rings because I am pretty sure Ta Lo is like K'un-lun one of the few places connected to earth where people know how to use Chi... and this also explains how Shang-Chi was able to pull the rings control away form Xu at the end of the movie Shang-Chi goes to Ta Lo and I am pretty sure he learns how to use his Chi even if it was not explained in the movie I am pretty sure that's what happened and that explains everything Ten Rings did not pick Xu because he is some special case no it was just that Xu was talented and was able to use Chi on his own even though he dose not even know Chi exits...

And Shang-Chi learned how to use his Chi in Ta Lo. And again, it makes sense since his mom was from that village; he must have an easier time controlling his Chi, and that's how Shang-Chi was pulling the control of the Rings from Xu, who was more than 1000 years old... but still, in the movie, Xu was nowhere near as strong as this... but since using the Ten Rings needed Chi, thankfully I knew Chi Infusion—it came in clutch! Once again! Chi infusion is more useful than I first thought it would be... After the infusion of my Chi, the Ten Rings naturally came to me; it was as simple as that, but I am pretty sure Xu being knocked out also helped...

Anyway, now that I am myself wearing these Ten Rings, I actually realize their power in the most simple way: the Ten Rings are like chi amplifiers. Just wearing all ten of these rings, my chi is amplified ten times! Or, in other words, wearing these ten rings makes the person's Chi 10 times stronger... And my Chi is already strong because I have Iron Fist... but now that I am wearing these Ten Rings, oh, I wonder how strong my Chi is...

I close my eyes, and then the Ten Rings start to glow golden on my forearms, and I don't feel any stronger since the Ten Rings just use Chi Augmentation once it's active on its own, somewhat like the Iron Fist. Talking about the Iron Fist... I clench my fist...

 My fist starts to glow a strong golden light. This light was so strong that I could see everything around the dark woods... and without waiting, I pulled my fist up and swung! I throw a punch at a tree normally. If I just use the normal Iron Fist, the tree will break in half, maybe even push the tree behind it, but this time...

BOOOMM!!!! Crash! Crash! Crash!!!

I watch in pure shock as my one punch not only destroyed the tree, breaking it apart with ease, but also 5 to 6 trees behind this tree fell down. It was like a truck rammed through all the trees... That was just one punch...

I look down at my hand and mutter, "Wait, that's only 5 rings. I can put all of the rings in one hand. What will happen then?"
