American comics: I gradually replicate everything

On the way, Vancan heard people excitedly discussing the event.

Several small animal children ran past him, arguing heatedly about who among the Furious Five should be chosen as the Dragon Warrior.

"It must be Tigress!"

She's the strongest of the Furious Five, and the most skilled in martial arts!

A little rabbit is waving its fist.

"No, no, the Dragon Warrior needs to protect the entire Valley of Peace, so he needs to be able to quickly reach any place!"

"The crane has wings and flies the fastest; it must be him!"

A little duck flapped its arms.

"The Crane is the weakest of the Five Heroes; even the Golden Monkey is stronger than him!" the little rabbit protested.

"I support Qiao Xiaolong because she is a girl, and I am a girl too!" said a little pig girl with a bow in her hair innocently.

The children's arguments gradually faded away.

Van Ken's appearance also attracted the attention of some residents.

Although he was currently in human form with a monkey's body, his appearance was no different from that of the animal inhabitants of this world.

However, the white martial arts uniform he wore, which resembled the style of an old man practicing martial arts in a modern park, was still somewhat different from the clothing style of the residents of Peace Valley.

"Huh?"

His clothes are so strange.

"You must have come from a very, very far place."

I've never seen this style before.

"The selection of the Dragon Warrior has attracted people from thousands of miles away; this is truly an unprecedentedly exciting event!"

Despite the curious stares and comments, Van Ken remained calm and composed, a faint smile of confidence on his face, as he climbed the mountain, his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the Jade Emperor Palace at the summit.

"The Dragon Warrior Selection Ceremony... Po hasn't become the Dragon Warrior yet; the story has just begun."

"The Dragon Warrior..."

Van Kent muttered the title to himself.

Once you become the Dragon Warrior, you will succeed Master Oogway and become the guardian of the Valley of Peace.

All the martial arts secrets of the Jade Emperor Palace will be made available to him, and Master Raccoon will impart all his knowledge and teach him with utmost care.

Moreover, the Dragon Hero holds a prestigious position, and any kung fu master would give him some face, making it much easier to learn martial arts from him.

All of this was too attractive to him, given his ability to replicate.

He really wanted to become the Dragon Warrior.

But... what about Ah Bao?

"It was somewhat predetermined that Po would become the Dragon Warrior."

Master Oogway was once saved by the people of Panda Village, and he may have seen the enormous potential hidden within Po, which is why he chose him.

Furthermore, Master Oogway seems to possess some mysterious ability to foresee the future; he's an old riddle master, and perhaps he saw Po's shadow in fate or prophecy...

Just then, a panting, urgent voice sounded beside Van Can.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Excuse me, please make way!

Van Can turned his head and saw a large, round, black-and-white figure struggling to drag a ramen cart, shuffling up the steps of the mountain.

It was indeed Abao.

His eyes were fixed on the mountain, filled with longing for the lively celebration and a thirst for kung fu.

"It's a once-in-a-century kung fu event, but unfortunately my dad insists that I go up the mountain to sell noodles during this lively time. It's too embarrassing."

At this moment, Abao noticed Van Ken, who was dressed in white and stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.

He was naturally outgoing, and to make his strenuous act of dragging the noodle stall up the mountain less awkward, he struck up a conversation with Van Ken while panting.

"Hey! Hello, my name is Abao."

He glanced at Vanken, who was also going up the mountain.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be from out of town, right?"

From an extremely distant place?

Has the Furious Five's fame spread that far?

His tone was filled with pride for his idol, and then he asked curiously, "You have a tall and straight figure and are full of energy. You must have practiced kung fu, right?"

Do you have any particularly skilled kung fu masters in your area?

What kind of martial arts do you know?

Looking at Van Ken's upright posture and the unique spirit of a martial artist, Ah Bao's eyes revealed envy and deep curiosity.

He looks like a very skilled martial artist.

I thought someone with such a masterly demeanor wouldn't bother with this pathetic noodle stall boy.

Van Cane turned his head, looked at Po, the panda in front of him who was kind-hearted and chubby, yearning for kung fu but trapped in a noodle stall, and who idolized the Furious Five, and smiled.

"My name is Van Ken, and I do come from a very far place."

My master is a great kung fu master who has taught me for many years.

However, apart from my master, I haven't heard of any other kung fu masters.

"oh!"

Ah Bao's eyes lit up, and he automatically filled in the blanks, pulling the noodle stall closer.

"Then you must be practicing martial arts in seclusion in the deep mountains, isolated from the world, oblivious to outside affairs, and single-mindedly pursuing the way of kung fu!"

That's so cool!

Just then, a shrill shout came from the crowd behind them.

"Ah Bao, stop being lazy and chat!"

Hurry up, or no one will buy noodles once the ceremony starts!

We must let all these guests from all over the country experience the charm of our Pingjia Restaurant!

Tell them if they want to eat this again, look for Pingjia Restaurant at the foot of the mountain!

The father goose, wearing an apron, waved vigorously from a distance.

"Got it, Dad!" Ah Bao sighed helplessly and quickened his pace, not forgetting to call out to Van Ken.

"Vanken, you've come all this way, you must be hungry."

Would you like to try our Pingjia Restaurant's signature noodles?

"I guarantee you won't regret your trip! Our family has a unique, ancestral recipe that's incredibly delicious!"

Vancan was genuinely curious about what Daddy Goose's noodles tasted like.

"Okay, but let's talk about it after the Dragon Warrior selection ceremony is over."

"Okay, it's a deal then!" Ah Bao said happily.

The two followed the crowd up the mountain. The steps were long and steep, and Abao, pulling the dough cart, was panting heavily.

He looked up at the sky: "What a beautiful day! Perfect for a celebration."

Van Ken also looked up.

The sky was a clear blue, without a single cloud, and a warm sun hung high in the sky, scattering its gentle rays; it was indeed a rare and beautiful day.

"good."

……

Meanwhile, on the high platform in front of the Jade Emperor Palace.

"Great, really great, today is a perfect day for a walk."

Master Turtle slowly withdrew his gaze from the warm, gentle sun.

Beside him, Master Raccoon, watching the growing and bustling crowd below, said with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, "Today is extraordinary, Master Oogway."

Master Oogway walked slowly, not in a hurry at all, and said leisurely, "Yes. I originally thought that my old bones wouldn't live to see this day."

He glanced at the raccoon beside him. "Are your apprentices all ready?"

Master Raccoon answered with a hint of trepidation.

"Yes, Master, they are all ready. But..."

He hesitated for a moment before asking the question he cared about most, "To whom do you... to whom do you intend to entrust the Dragon Manual, which contains infinite power,?"

You prophesied that the Great Dragon will escape from prison, which means the new Dragon Warrior must confront the Great Dragon and protect the Valley of Peace.

Which of my five disciples will you entrust this important task to?

Who... will become the Dragon Warrior?

He wasn't sure which of his five disciples, each with their own strengths and equally outstanding abilities, was the most suitable, especially when he thought about facing the brutal dragon.

Master Oogway slowly shook his head, his gaze calmly fixed on the jubilant crowd below: "I don't know either."

"Huh?" Master Raccoon was taken aback.

Master Oogway continued, "But you must understand, old friend. Whoever I choose..."

He paused, his thoughts seemingly drifting towards a more distant future.

"...will bring peace to this valley."

After saying that, he said no more, and leaning on his old cane, he slowly walked towards the center of the square, ready to begin the ceremony.

Master Raccoon stood there, pondering Master Oogway's words.

As the founder of Kung Fu, Master Oogway's level of attainment is almost divine; he has long since achieved oneness with the universe.

Legend has it that he can see future trajectories that ordinary people cannot.

Raccoon felt that the master's words had a deeper meaning. Could the final choice be unexpected? Not the strongest Tigress, but Linghe or Xiaolong?

But Master Oogway says he doesn't know... The Master never lies, so what does that mean?

He shook his head, unable to understand, and quickly followed after them.

……

Van Ken and A Bao finally arrived at the main gate outside the Jade Emperor Palace Square.

The gates were tightly shut, but the noise and bustle indicated that the ceremony had already begun.

The place was already packed with people, completely jammed.

Ah Bao, exhausted from pulling the noodle cart, collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily: "I'm so tired... I'm dead tired... and I'm still late..."

He got up and pounded on the heavy door in frustration.

"Open the door! Open the door! Let us in!"

Van Ken glanced at A Bao, who was panting heavily like a cow drinking water.

No matter when, the Dragon Warrior's lifelong enemy will always be the high and long steps of the Jade Emperor's Palace.

"let me see!"

Po peeked through the crack in the door, eager to catch a glimpse of the Furious Five and Master Oogway.

Unfortunately, it was so crowded inside that you couldn't see anything clearly.

Just then, the crowd inside suddenly surged toward the door.

"Bang!"

The heavy door was jolted open by the people inside, and it slammed right onto Abao's face as he peeked through the crack in the door!

Ah Bao was knocked backward and tumbled to the ground with a thud.

He clutched his throbbing forehead, utterly dejected.

"This is terrible... We rushed here as fast as we could, but we're still too late... Who's in the mood for noodles at a time like this... Dad, really..."

He couldn't help but complain, feeling that if he hadn't been dragging this heavy cart, he might have made it to this once-in-a-lifetime celebration.

"Vanken, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for keeping you talking, otherwise you would definitely have arrived in time."

On the way up the mountain, Ah Bao had already noticed that Van Ken had practiced martial arts. He walked up those long steps without getting red in the face or out of breath, calm and composed, with his hands behind his back as if he were taking a stroll, showing the demeanor of a legendary kung fu master.

If they hadn't been traveling with me, they would have already come up here.

"Damn it, is there any way to get in?"

The Furious Five have trained hard for many years, all for this day to determine who is the Dragon Warrior!

As their most loyal fan, how could I miss this historic moment!

If I missed today, I would regret it for the rest of my life!

Po heard Master Oogway's voice coming from inside, and the ritual was obviously in progress. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, looking around for a solution.

He suddenly caught sight of a wooden cart parked not far from the square gate, which seemed to be a fireworks stall. The stall owner must have sneaked in to watch the ceremony.

The vehicle was piled high with colorful fireworks and long rockets with fireworks attached, which were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Abao's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had thought of something.

But then, he glanced at Vancan, as if choked by his own thought, coughed violently, his face slightly unnatural, and quickly averted his gaze from the smoky train.

Instead, they continued to anxiously pound on the tightly closed door, or tried to see more through the crack in the door.

"Open the door! Can someone help open the next door?"

"Um?"

Van Kene observed A Bao's series of subtle reactions.

In the original storyline, Po flew into the venue by lighting the smoke train, but Po only glanced at it before looking away.

The plot has been changed.

Vanken thought for a moment and understood.

Because of its own existence.

In the original storyline, Ah Bao was all alone, and he could be simple-minded, reckless, and foolish, just to squeeze in and see his idol.

But now, there's another version of himself by his side.

In front of such a seemingly serious friend, Abao probably felt that doing something as absurd as lighting cigarettes and letting them fly in was a bit...shameful, a bit embarrassing.

He wanted to maintain a good image in front of his newly acquainted friend who knew kung fu.

I just arrived and did nothing, yet the original plot trajectory has already been changed without my knowledge?

Ah Bao, I'll make it up to you later.

"As for now, it seems that I have no choice but to seize the opportunity to become the Dragon Warrior 'falling from the sky'."

Van Ken patted A Bao on the shoulder.

"I'm going in first, Ah Bao."

"How will you get in? This door..."

Ah Bao hadn't finished speaking.

With a slight bend in his knees, Van Cane's feet gently sank into the ground, and he soared into the sky, leaping more than ten meters high. He shot towards the center of the field like an arrow, and his figure disappeared.

Only Ah Bao, who was left standing outside the wall, was dumbfounded.

"The door...the door is closed..."

Ah Bao looked up at the spot where Van Ken had disappeared, his mouth agape in an "O" shape, completely forgetting to knock on the door.

The Furious Five—Tigress, Crane, Monkey, Little Dragon, and Mantis—have just put on a spectacular martial arts performance, drawing cheers and applause from the crowd and bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

Master Oogway stood before them, his eyes, though wrinkled at the corners, seemed to be filled with endless wisdom. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly extended his finger.

This finger will point out the next Dragon Warrior.

Master Raccoon held his breath, watching nervously.

The Furious Five also straightened their backs, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Tigress couldn't help but take a small step forward, feeling as if the master's finger was pointing directly at her.

Just as Master Oogway's finger was about to freeze.

call!

A figure, as if flying from the heavens, soared over the crowds and high walls, bringing with it a gust of wind, and landed steadily in the very center of the square with a thud, perfectly positioned.

It landed right in front of Master Oogway and Master Shifu, blocking the Furious Five.

Master Oogway's finger, which was about to point, stopped in mid-air, its tip pointing directly at Van Can, who had just landed, which surprised him.

The timing was perfect.

Van Ken straightened up and patted off non-existent dust from his clothes.

"What's going on?!"

"Who are you?!"

Before he could speak, Master Raccoon, who had been waiting for the outcome of the ceremony, was both surprised and furious.

Just as one of his five prized disciples was about to be chosen as the Dragon Hero, the ceremony was interrupted by an uninvited guest, which made him so angry that his beard stood on end.

"How dare you disrupt the sacred selection ceremony, guards!"

Take this troublemaker away!

Wait a minute.

That's really interesting.

Master Oogway looked at Van Cane with his deep eyes, as if he saw something in him that ordinary people couldn't see, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I want to hear what he wants to do."
