"You wanted to meet me?"
Hearing the voice, everyone around me looks at one man. He was not too old-looking; he looked like a normal, handsome, middle-aged Chinese man, but there was this air of ancient authority around him, like he was some sort of king from the old era, and everyone bowed to that man and got out of his way as he walked up to me. His steps seemed casual, and he stopped right in front of me and looked at me with cold eyes.
I look back at him with a smile on my face, my hands still in my pocket as I look him up and down and speak, "You are Master Khan? Warrior King? the Mandarin? Huh? I expected more, you know, not some middle-aged CEO-looking man, but hey, I won't judge you for being old. My name is James Lee. I'll get to the point: come under me and give me all of the Ten Rings, and also this organization will come under me. I give you my word everything you wish will be yours." I speak in an arrogant tone, and everyone around me is angry, even if they do not dare move. They silently pull out their weapons and load their guns...
Xu seemed amused as he spoke. "Ah, youth and your bravado," he replies, his voice smooth yet commanding. "You see only the surface, the facade of a man who has lived many lifetimes. I have wielded power that you can scarcely imagine, and I have faced foes that would make your bravest dreams seem like child's play." He puts his hand on my shoulder as he speaks, "Go back home, student. Your mother must be worried; it's late. I'll let you go because you are talented. Don't waste your life on this. Whatever you are trying to do is not worth it." As he spoke, he sounded endlessly wise, his presence imposing yet oddly charismatic.
And then Xu turns around, and just as Xu was going to take a step away... Bam... I threw a hard punch at his face; my fist was glowing while my other hand was in my pocket, and Xu went sliding back! He blocked my punch with his forearm, where the 5 rings he wore glowed. He was still on his feet as he looked at me with stunned eyes...
"How unfortunate, you know. I thought you were wise, but it looks like I'll have to remind you."
I jump fast at him, throwing a kick fast. Xu side-steps fast, dodging my foot as it crashes down on the floor hard! Bang!... The floor below my foot broke.
"That I am not asking this is not a chat; this is a conquest!"
And before Xu knew it, he saw my glowing fist coming right for his face! And Xu also threw a punch, and both of our fists clashed. My fist was glowing golden, and the 5 rings on Xu's arms were glowing blue!
Boom!!!...
I take one step back, and Xu also takes one step back, and I shake my hand a little. It was the first time my Iron Fist actually did not break apart something I punched. Xu's fist felt like hitting a block of thick iron. "Ha, you're not bad for an old man, pretty strong for your age. At least you're not all talk, but those rings—those must be the Ten Rings. Really strong. How did you get them?" And on the other hand, Xu seemed fine. He looked at me and threw a punch at me, and a ring came flying fast to me!
Swoosh!
I jump to the left, avoiding the ring, and the ring quickly goes back to Xu's arm as he speaks: "Finally, you pulled your hand out of your pocket, brat. It's rude to fight with your hand in your pocket." And, well, yeah, I just noticed that while dodging, both of my hands were now out of my pockets...
"Ha, you're so funny, old man!" I rush at him once again fast, and this time Xu punches in the air fast with one hand, throwing his rings right at my face. I start to rush at him in a zigzag pattern, dodging to the side, dodging all of the rings coming to hit me!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
And as soon as I get near, Xu pulls all of his rings to one hand and throws a punch. All 10 rings on his arm were glowing blue! strongly! And I also throw my left fist at him; my fist glows golden!
Crash! Whoosh! Swish!
And just as our fists were about to connect, I pulled my hand back, the golden light went away as I twisted my body, and my right fist started to glow golden for the first time since I have been fighting! I throw a punch with my right fist at his lower side, aiming at his kidney side!
But just before I could land the hit, Xu twists his body and spins, bringing his fist back, which had all of his 10 rings, like a wrecking ball aimed right at my face! and I barely dodge by stepping closer and bending my head down! But now with both of my fists glowing golden! And at close range, I throw fast hooks, jabs, crosses, and uppercuts! Fast, but Xu dodges all of them with ease, and with a flick of his wrist, he throws all 10 rings fast at my face!!
Boom! Boom!
