Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

As soon as Daisy landed, she was surrounded by three of Xu Wenwu's most trusted confidants.

But she didn't panic, nor did she choose to ask Peter for help.

He simply met his opponent's gaze with unwavering determination.

This is her own battle!

She wanted to use this battle to prove to her brother Peter that she had also become someone who could stand on her own and share his burdens.

……

While Daisy was having a lively fight, Peter landed gracefully on his flying skateboard.

Xu Wenwu stood opposite him, but his face remained completely expressionless.

Just kidding. Even monsters like Laufey and Soros can't do anything to him now, so what is Xu Wenwu?

In the ensuing silence, Xu Wenwu spoke first:

"Wakanda sent you. They really went to great lengths to persuade a superhero like you."

He kept saying "superhero," but his tone and expression were quite indifferent, as if he didn't take the Arbitrator, the superhero who had recently saved all of Amelica, seriously at all.

He has every reason to be so proud.

A thousand years.

He has lived for a full thousand years.

It witnessed the rise and fall of several dynasties and experienced countless life-and-death trials.

He now believes that nothing in this world can surprise him anymore, and no one can stop him.

Including the arbitrator in front of us.

Peter simply rolled his eyes at his behavior.

Damn it, I hate people who show off the most!

Peter simply chose not to reply, and just watched Xu Wenwu forcefully press him until Xu Wenwu himself felt a little embarrassed.

He frowned slightly, but ultimately chose to state his conditions in advance:

"I think we can make a deal."

"How so?"

"If you're willing to join the Ten Rings and work with me to take down Wakanda and seize the vibranium they possess, I can give you anything you want."

Xu Wenwu lowered his voice and spoke in a highly seductive tone:

"Power, money, connections, women... I can even give you half of the Ten Rings and the vibranium mines. Then the two of us will be the masters of this world!"

His words were so impassioned that the eyes of his surviving underlings turned red.

I wish I could respond right now in Peter's place.

But when faced with the conditions offered by Xuanwu, Peter laughed, a laugh filled with disdain:

"Hey Old Deng, are you out of your mind? What makes you think you can do business with me? With your bunch of lousy bums."

"Why should I choose to cooperate with you? What do I want from you? Your age? Your lack of hygiene?"

"The conditions you're offering are laughable. Don't you know I have an entire superhero organization in America?"

"If I wanted what you're talking about, it would be a simple matter of asking. Why would I need to cooperate with you?"

At this point, Peter raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the bullseye in Xu Wenwu's hand:

"On the contrary, without you, I can get some interesting things."

Xu Wenwu fell silent.

He noticed Peter's gaze as he looked towards the Olympic rings.

That gaze was neither fear nor awe.

It's more like the joy of seeing a new toy.

This guy was already convinced that the ten rings would fall into his hands!

This discovery turned Xu Wenwu's expression completely cold.

These ten metal rings of unknown origin are the foundation of all his power.

After losing Yingli, the tenth ring became his only anchor in this world.

Yingli's voice echoed in his ears day and night.

She called to him from within the dark door deep within Tarot Village, never ceasing.

The rings were the only tool he could use to respond to that voice.

He would never allow anyone to even consider hitting the bullseye!

"The Arbiter," Xu Wenwu's voice turned icy, instilling an instinctive sense of oppression, "you shouldn't have coveted the Ten Rings!"

"Is that so?" Peter remained calm and composed in the face of Xu Wenwu's threat.

"I'm sorry, but I have a problem—the more you forbid me from seeing something, the more I want it."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Wenwu moved!

With the boost from the ten rings, he threw a punch at Peter.

Peter did not dodge; he also raised his fist in retaliation.

Their fists collided.

Xu Wenwu took three steps back.

Peter's body swayed almost imperceptibly, and an excited light appeared in his eyes.

Those ten rings really show some strength!

……

In the blink of an eye, Peter and Xu Wenwu had exchanged more than a dozen blows.

It must be said that Xu Wenwu's level of skill somewhat exceeded Peter's expectations.

This guy's overall combat power far exceeds that of Gwen when she activated the Symbiote Suit and Vibranium Suit!

Peter estimated that, with the defensive and offensive power granted by the ten rings, this ancient monster who had lived for thousands of years could easily go toe-to-toe with Thor in his normal state.

Of course, that's all.

Xu Wenwu's limit is only to be able to go toe-to-toe with Thor in his normal state, while Peter... can now easily pin Thor to the ground and spin him like a top after he goes into overdrive.

The reason he didn't finish off Xu Wenwu in one move was entirely to give Daisy more time to train, and incidentally, he also used Xu Wenwu as a training ground for his own combat experience.

It must be said that Xu Wenwu's kung fu skills are quite good.

Peter threw a punch, and Xu Wenwu dodged it by sidestepping, while simultaneously slashing at Peter's elbow joint with his right hand at an extremely strange angle.

This is a Wing Chun interception technique, and the movements are so precise they're practically textbook-perfect.

But immediately afterward, Xu Wenwu's left foot swept towards Peter's lower body. In the transition of footwork, the rhythm of the attack changed from the short bursts of Wing Chun to the open and expansive style of Long Fist.

Then it was guided by Tai Chi.

The movement techniques of Baguazhang.

The drilling and turning motion in Xingyi Quan.

In a thousand years, how many schools of martial arts did he secretly learn from?

As Peter parried the moves, he inwardly marveled at how this old man was practically a walking encyclopedia of martial arts, having mastered the essence of various schools and styles to an incredibly formidable degree.

She was much stronger than Madam Gao, whom he had fought before.

This rekindled Peter's long-dormant desire to learn.

After playing the "Big Brick Flying" game for too long, it's time to change things up a bit.

Learning a few kung fu moves from Lao Xu would be beneficial to both physical and mental health. I could even use them to instruct Gwen and Felicia when I got back. Wouldn't that be wonderful!

With this thought in mind, he consciously reduced his output, no longer using brute force to overwhelm, but trying to use pure fighting skills to deal with Xu Wenwu's offensive.

As time went on, Xu Wenwu finally realized that something was wrong.

At first, Xu Wenwu thought it was a coincidence.

The second time, he frowned.

The third time—when Peter used his Bagua Youlong Palm technique to circle behind him and then struck him on the back with his signature inch-force strike—

Xu Wenwu's face turned completely black.

"Are you stealing my skills?"

He squeezed those four words out through gritted teeth.

But Peter didn't even try to deny it:

"Yes, you've learned a lot of good things. You haven't lived in vain for the past thousand years."
