American comics: I gradually replicate everything

Your heart is like a still lake.

Master Turtle used an analogy.

"The constant ripples are a good thing; it's not stagnant water."

Otherwise, people would lose their vitality and change.

But sometimes, one must be careful not to let the ripples become so large that they obscure the clear reflection in the water, making it impossible to see one's original appearance.

After saying something meaningful, he looked up at the clear sky, as if recalling something.

"I had a premonition that something would happen today."

The Dragon Warrior will emerge from outside the five Furious Five.

That person must be you.

He looked at Van Can and said one last thing.

"I choose you.

I hope... my choice isn't a mistake.

After saying that, he gently patted the edge of the sedan chair, like an old man who had finished giving instructions and was about to go to rest.

"I'm getting old, and I'm getting tired."

I'll go first, leaving you here to receive everyone's cheers and blessings.

The Emerald Palace is a very large house; it will be your home from now on.

You can go and familiarize yourself with it first.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Oogway, leaning on his cane, slowly left the noisy group and headed down a quiet path, his figure quickly disappearing into the shadows of the palace.

Van Can was carried all the way to the magnificent gate of the Jade Emperor Palace.

The sedan chair was lowered, and the guards respectfully invited him to get down.

He entered the Emerald Palace, also known as the Jade Emperor Palace.

The ground was covered with smooth, mirror-like, warm-green jade stones, so shiny they could reflect one's image.

The tall pillars are also carved from a single piece of jade, with lifelike jade dragons coiled around them, exuding majesty and nobility.

The entire hall is spacious and towering, exuding an ancient and magnificent aura.

On both sides of the hall, various legendary weapons and armor are displayed, gleaming with extraordinary luster under the light of the ever-burning lamps and the reflection of jade.

Van Ken strolled over, his gaze sweeping across the area.

Here lies the heavy armor left behind by the Flying Rhinoceros Master, impervious to swords and spears, and unaffected by water and fire.

There is a warrior's greatsword with a cold, gleaming light and a blue dragon engraved on its blade. It is said to be incredibly sharp and capable of cutting through iron like mud.

There is also a separate shelf that appears to be empty, but actually houses an invisible trident...

Each item here is a treasure left behind by a renowned kung fu master of yesteryear, carrying legends and history, and some even possess incredible special powers.

His fingers brushed against the armor, Van Can's eyes sweeping over these divine weapons.

His desire to become the Dragon Warrior, and the secrets of the Jade Emperor Palace, whether profound kung fu or these magical weapons, are one of the important reasons.

"The sightseeing is over."

At that moment, a cold, hard voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

Van Kent turned around.

It was Master Raccoon, who had been standing at the entrance of the main hall at some point, looking at him with a gloomy expression.

His words were very impolite, as if Vancan were just a tourist who had wandered into the place by mistake and should leave immediately after seeing everything.

Van Can stood with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, meeting Master Raccoon's gaze without flinching, and laughed.

"Master Oogway showed me this Jade Palace so that I could take it over in the future."

"Take it over?"

Master Raccoon's voice grew even colder, filled with undisguised rejection.

"That day will never come."

You are not the Dragon Warrior, and you will never become the real Dragon Warrior.

Van Cann's smile remained unchanged: "Master, you have a prejudice against me."

Prejudice is a bad thing; it blinds people, preventing them from seeing the facts that they could otherwise clearly see.

Raccoon Master's face was gloomy as he looked Van Ken up and down.

He stood in the center of the spacious and magnificent Jade Emperor Palace, his posture as upright as a javelin, his powerful tail swaying unconsciously behind him. He exuded a high-spirited confidence and abundant power from the inside out.

His posture and demeanor made it seem as if he had become the rightful master of this place.

This sight suddenly stirred up a long-forgotten memory deep within Master Raccoon's heart.

You remind me of someone.

Master Raccoon spoke slowly, his voice somewhat low.

"He has an upright posture, and his energy and spirit are so strong that he doesn't know how to restrain the sharpness of a martial artist. There is always an untamed... wildness about him."

"You mean Da Long?"

Van Ken continued.

"Do you know Da Long?"

Master Raccoon frowned suddenly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"He has been imprisoned in the most heavily guarded prison for more than 20 years, and there should have been no news of him outside long ago."

You must have come from a very far place, yet you know about the Great Dragon...

So you really came here for the Dragon Warrior position?!

"good."

Van Ken readily admitted it, and even took a step forward.

"Why not?"

"Now, I am the Dragon Warrior."

"You think that being chosen by Master Oogway means you can rest easy and enjoy a life of luxury?"

I'm telling you, Master Oogway has already predicted that the dragon will soon escape from prison!

He will come back and destroy the Valley of Peace!

Master Raccoon let out a cold laugh.

"Since you are the Dragon Warrior, you must take responsibility, face him, and defeat him!"

Now, do you still want to be the Dragon Warrior?

He stared into Van Can's eyes and spoke, word by word.

"Twenty years ago, Da Long's kung fu had already surpassed that of his master!"

If Master Oogway hadn't personally intervened back then, no one could have subdued him!

Van Can's smile remained unchanged, though he slightly narrowed his eyes.

"I want to become the Dragon Warrior, enjoy the status and fame I deserve, and enter the Jade Emperor's Palace."

Then, I will naturally also shoulder the responsibilities that the Dragon Warrior should bear.

Isn't it just a big dragon?

I will deal with him.

Master Raccoon was surprised that even the fearsome reputation of the dragon could not scare Van Can, who even seemed unconcerned and even had a hint of anticipation, which was abnormal.

He instantly thought of a possibility, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the high dome of the Jade Emperor Palace.

In the center of the dome, a beautiful jade dragon spirals down, holding an ancient scroll in its mouth.

The Divine Dragon Manual!

"I understand."

Master Raccoon said coldly.

"You want that, right?"

The Divine Dragon Manual, containing infinite secrets of kung fu!

The more crisis there is in Peace Valley, the more legitimate reason you, the Dragon Hero, have to inspect it, isn't that right?

He stepped forward, assumed a stance, and spoke with unwavering resolve.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Master Oogway has chosen you, but as an instructor at the Jade Emperor's Palace, as the master here, you haven't earned my approval yet, so don't even think about touching that secret manual!"

As he spoke, Van Kent's gaze also fell upon the scroll in the mouth of the jade dragon on the dome.

If Master Raccoon hadn't mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten about this so-called Divine Dragon Manual.

When Master Raccoon saw his gaze, he spoke even more coldly.

"You'll have to get past me first if you want to get your hands on it!"
