American comics: I gradually replicate everything

Van Can's eyes were calm and focused. He took a deep breath and naturally assumed the starting stance.

The movements were slow, as if the hands were gliding through viscous air, gentle yet possessing an unstoppable force.

With each move, his body rose and fell slightly, rotating, and with each step he took, there was a natural rhythm of movement and stillness, and endless flow.

Fan Ken's Tai Chi Chuan combines softness and strength, yin within yang and yang within yin, thus capturing the essence of the art.

He is not bound by any particular moves; he uses them effortlessly and naturally, reaching a state where no moves are better than moves.

Tigress and the others thought that even if Van Can had grasped the true meaning of Tai Chi, he would still need time to practice diligently to master it.

But what they didn't know was that Van Cannon didn't need to practice at all.

This set of punches not only possesses a unique charm, but also seems to demonstrate years of immersion in the art, revealing profound skill in the art!

"However... compared to a tortoise, it's still far inferior."

Van Can stopped and smacked his lips lightly.

Although Master Oogway only performed a seemingly ordinary set of punches today, Van Cane connected to Master Oogway's massive 'server' through his copying ability.

He clearly sensed how profound Master Oogway's mastery of Tai Chi was, and how terrifying his kung fu was.

"My current level of Tai Chi is probably only two or three tenths of what Master Turtle taught me."

Of course, this is already very impressive. Even if an ordinary martial arts master were to receive instruction in Tai Chi and practice diligently for a lifetime, they might not be able to reach this level.

"It's still a pity."

Unfortunately, Master Oogway ascended to heaven too quickly, leaving him little time to replicate the process.

Otherwise, he might have been able to acquire the full mastery of Tai Chi from Master Oogway.

But there's nothing that can be done; even though Master Oogway's kung fu is extraordinary, his lifespan is ultimately limited.

His time is drawing near. If he doesn't demonstrate Tai Chi, he might live a day or two longer, but it won't do him any good.

"At least I have also received the true teachings of one of the turtle's unique skills."

Just then—

"when--!"

Suddenly, a deep, desolate bell tolled from the highest point of the Jade Emperor Palace, as if it had traveled through countless years!

The bell tolled solidly and far-reachingly, spreading out like ripples on water, instantly piercing the silent night sky and echoing throughout the Valley of Peace, even reaching further mountains and fields.

Then came the second, the third… The bell tolled slowly and steadily, with a solemn and heavy rhythm, one chime after another.

There are nine tones in total.

Nine is the ultimate number.

Nine chimes are the highest and most solemn signal from the Jade Emperor Palace.

Vancan guessed the meaning of the bell.

The Jade Emperor Palace, filled with endless sorrow and reverence, announces to the world the passing of Master Oogway, the grandmaster and founder of kung fu.

It also carries a solemn and respectful sense of entrustment.

He announced to the Valley of Peace that the new Dragon Warrior has taken over, and will inherit Master Oogway's legacy, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the Valley of Peace and the peace of the world.

Van Ken pushed open the palace door, walked out onto the terrace, and looked down into the night breeze.

The Valley of Peace, where lights had been gradually turned off and people were preparing to drift off to sleep, was now lit up again with many points of light.

Warm yellow light shone from the windows of every household, and many residents even carried lanterns outside and onto the street.

Faint, suppressed sobs, low, respectful chants and mourning sounds drifted up the mountain on the wind, converging into a sea of ​​sorrow.

Although Master Oogway hasn't personally intervened in the past decade, and most crises have been resolved by Master Shifu and the Furious Five, he remains the founder of kung fu and a kind and wise elder.

The residents of Peace Valley are all bathed in his radiance, which is why they have always lived a peaceful and tranquil life.

Where else in the world, besides the foot of the Jade Emperor Palace, can the word "peace" be used as a place name?

"It is estimated that the news of Master Oogway's passing will soon spread throughout the land, causing a stir in all directions."

As the universally recognized founder of kung fu and a highly respected elder, Master Oogway's influence extends far beyond one place. His passing is undoubtedly a major event that shakes the world.

Just then, Vancan suddenly felt an extremely subtle yet incredibly clear throbbing in his mind.

"Um?"

He closed his eyes and focused his mind.

There were three wormholes floating there, like points of light.

Originally there were only two, but after he used a wormhole to leave the DC universe, it automatically became three.

They represent the DC universe, the Boys universe, and the Kung Fu Panda universe, respectively.

"This is... a progress bar?"

The area around the wormhole was originally dark, which he hadn't paid much attention to before.

But now, a faint golden hue has appeared at the edge of the wormhole that represents the world of Kung Fu Panda, like a filled arc, while the rest remains dark.

This looks a lot like a... progress bar?

And a small section has already been filled in?

Vancan consciously tried to touch that golden hue.

Just like when his consciousness first touched the wormhole and he received the information that he could travel through it, now he has received a new piece of information.

"By performing heroic deeds in different worlds, one can draw upon the power of that world. Upon reaching a certain level, this power can be used to enhance one or more gains obtained in that world..."

Gains can be many things: acquired skills, learned techniques, or obtained items, knowledge, etc.—almost everything, but you can only choose one.

Once selected, all world power gained in this world, both previously and subsequently, will be used to enhance this item, and it cannot be changed.

"Similar to adding points to enhance skills?"

Van Can instantly understood the meaning of the unexpected joy brought by the golden finger.

But have I done anything heroic?

Aside from coming into this world and becoming the Dragon Warrior...

Recalling the nine chimes just now, and looking down the mountain, Van Ken understood.

When the Valley of Peace faced a crisis, the Jade Emperor Palace was in dire need of talent, and Master Oogway passed away, he stepped forward and took on the responsibility of protecting the Valley of Peace, giving the residents of the Valley of Peace hope.

Isn't it a heroic act to take on heavy responsibilities without hesitation?

Thus, this action allowed him to draw upon enough world power in the Kung Fu Panda world, which he could then utilize.

Now, he can use this power to enhance one of his gains in this world.

What should I choose?

Should we choose now, or see if there are other benefits later?

Van Can made his decision quickly, with almost no hesitation.

The world of Kung Fu Panda is a world where Qigong and Kung Fu are highly developed, and he can learn any exquisite skill by copying it.

There is only one thing that cannot be copied; it must be cultivated and increased through one's own daily accumulation and persistent effort, and that is—Qi!

"As long as you have enough powerful energy and sufficient numerical values, even the crudest techniques can unleash terrifying power."

Conversely, if one lacks vital energy, even the most exquisite skills are like a skilled cook without ingredients—unable to defeat the enemy.

Fan Ken was able to ascend to the position of Dragon Warrior as soon as he arrived, mainly because of his copying ability and the massive amount of energy he obtained from the Wudang totem.

But this energy is borrowed, not his own, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later.

"And it must be returned within a certain period of time."

Otherwise, I will completely merge with the power of the Wudang totem and forever become this human-bodied, monkey-headed form.

Originally, Van Can was somewhat worried about whether he could develop the same level of aura as he does now in a short period of time.

"You don't need to worry anymore."
