Iron Fist has been very busy lately, as the son of the former CEO of a large company.
He is the only heir to the business, but he and his father went to the snow-capped mountains of China to look for the legendary Kunlun.
So Iron Fist Daniel Rand disappeared from everyone's sight for nearly ten years.
Daniel's parents also died in the snowy mountains, and only Daniel was rescued by Kunlun's people.
He practiced in Kunlun for ten years, passed the test of the dragon, and gained the power of the dragon.
And now he is finally back in the United States, back to where he belongs.
But he found that everything was different.
Don't expect the capitalists to keep a large amount of wealth without taking any.
The wealth that originally belonged to Daniel has been embezzled by a group of tycoons, and there is little left.
He then had to help Kunlun find the lost White Tiger Amulet, and then had a fight with Tigress.
As a result, Night Walker and his team were inexplicably invited to intervene in the matter.
In the end, he was inexplicably fooled by Night Walker and had a big fight with the Hand.
Then he was injured again, and promised to give the White Tiger Amulet to Tigress.
He finally recovered from his injuries and hadn't been able to rest for a few days when a group of guys called S.H.I.E.L.D. showed up.
Want him to join an organization called the Avengers or something.
Iron Fist's friend, Luke Cage, has agreed to join the group.
Because I heard the monthly salary is very generous. Luke was not a good guy in his early years.
He owes a lot of debts, many of which are debts of favor, which are difficult to repay.
Now that Luke has joined S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Avengers program, he is at least a formal employee.
Iron Fist was still thinking about it, but he had other things to do today.
I have already promised Night Walker that I will have a detailed discussion with him about the use of Qi.
This is a very strange practitioner. One can feel tremendous power coming from his body.
But he couldn't master it very well. His technique of using Qi looked very crude.
Although he knew how to use it, it was obvious that he had not practiced it in a particularly systematic way.
This caused him to waste a lot of unnecessary energy in the battle.
Therefore, Jason and Iron Fist had already had good communication.
Jason needs someone to show him the way, even though Ancient One might be more powerful.
But the last meeting made Jason feel creepy, and a little like he was seeing an old charlatan.
This made Jason feel a little repulsive to Gu Yi.
Although Iron Fist is not that powerful, Jason trusts him more because of their last cooperation.
Moreover, Iron Fist itself has a very systematic training method, which can at least point Jason in many basic directions.
The place where the two met was a community with not many residents.
It seems that Iron Fist is living here temporarily, and the place where he lives is more like a martial arts gym than a residence.
These include wooden dummies for practicing Wing Chun, sandbags for practicing boxing, speed balls, and various weight-bearing equipment.
"Are these devices still useful to you now?" Jason looked at and asked Iron Fist.
Iron Fist's body has been tempered to the limits of the average human body, and through training Iron Fist has reached the pinnacle of humanity.
He can easily carry a weight of 500 kilograms, and his force-generating skills ensure that the impact of his punch is more than two tons and close to three tons.
His punches were faster than the bite of the fastest cobra before it bites its prey.
And this is not to mention that Iron Fist himself has not yet used the power of the dragon in his body.
If he uses his internal energy to push the dragon's power to its limit, the resulting destructive power will be even more astonishing.
Jason really doesn't understand what use these props are for Iron Fist.
Maybe ordinary people can become boxing champions with these trainings, but Iron Fist can beat a dozen boxing champions without even taking a breath.
"Don't let the appearance of things blind your eyes." Iron Fist took Jason to an empty training room in the room.
At Jason's feet was a stall with a Tai Chi diagram.
After entering the room, Iron Fist lit three sandalwood sticks on an incense burner in the corner.
And they offered sacrifices to the four gods of the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
This feeling made Jason feel very strange, as if Iron Fist was an authentic Chinese.
And I look more like a foreigner, although I.
Moreover, in his previous life in China, Jason, like most people, did not respect gods and Buddhas, nor did he respect the heat of heaven and earth.
But it was obvious that Iron Fist was a reverent person, for he sat cross-legged on the carpet only after he had finished his worship.
"Don't you have any awe in your heart?" Iron Fist looked at Jason as if he was looking at his actions strangely and asked.
"Are you talking about God or Buddha?" Jason really didn't believe in God. He didn't believe in it in his previous life, and he doesn't believe in it even more in this life.
Although he had seen the so-called demon, he saw that the so-called demon was killed by Ancient One.
This proves that the so-called gods and demons are just powerful life forms, not the omniscient and omnipotent gods in the legends.
"It's not that simple." Iron Fist shook his head, indicating that Jason's understanding was wrong.
"Have you ever wondered where your power comes from?"
Oh, it was given by the system? But where does the power of the system come from?
This question was a bit profound, so Jason could only remain silent and not answer.
Iron Fist had never expected Jason to have any answer.
"We practice and explore to increase our own strength. And in my opinion, all of this is to explore the secrets of life itself."
Jason felt that Iron Fist looked very much like a charlatan at this moment.
"Unlike other ways of gaining power, practitioners only need to train hard to gain power."
"I have seen many such people in Kunlun, no matter how much they can gain."
"As long as there is effort, there will be rewards. Maybe everyone has different talents."
"But the law of self-heating never changes. The more you put in, the higher the reward."
"I defeated my nightmares, those snow mountain wolves, and passed my physical and mental limits during my training. That's why I gained the power I have now."
"So what did you pay, Night Walker?" Iron Fist's question made Jason a little stunned.
What did I pay for? Reputation? What is the reputation?
Others' admiration for me? Or something else.
Some questions that Jason had never thought about or even felt before came to his mind.
Why did I get the system? Is it really a benefit for time travelers?
Then there is a question: why did I travel through time?
Jason's head hurts a little. Who am I?
In my previous life, I was a small clerk on Earth, and my specialty was cooking!
Then, Jason's memory began to blur, and he seemed to have fallen into a maze of memories.
All the things from the past life came to me like flowing water, and everything seemed real and unreal.
Everything feels so strange, my parents from my previous life, my friends.
Why are their faces so blurry? But sometimes they become clear.
Jason seemed to be trapped in the center of a black vortex, with the tide of memory and time constantly washing over him.
He was powerless to grasp anything that slipped through his hands, and every time he tried to grab something he found it was just a pile of foam.
This feeling was extremely depressing, as if life had lost its meaning, and Jason stopped struggling.
He was prepared to wait for death here quietly, and let himself die in the long river of time.
Just when Jason was about to give up, suddenly a ball of blue flame descended upon the place.
Its light dispelled all darkness, and the black tides that entangled Jason disappeared at this moment.
Jason was wrapped in blue flames and moved away from this dangerous maze of thoughts.
Iron Fist's question made Jason fall into deep thought for what seemed like a long time, but it also seemed like only a moment.
When Jason woke up, he found Iron Fist looking at him with a smile.
"What trick did you play just now? Why do I feel something strange?" Jason asked in confusion.
"Some specialties of Kunlun. It will make you face your worst nightmare. As long as you can defeat it, it will be good for you." Iron Fist seemed to have good intentions.
"Are there no side effects?" Jason asked.
"No, at most it will make you fall into a coma and wake you up after having a nightmare." Iron Fist shook his head and said.
"What is your nightmare?"
"A blue-skinned alien." Jason said with a frown.
This blue-skinned alien should be the Thanos in my previous life's memory. I really did dream about him just now.
"That blue-skinned alien went on a killing spree on Earth, and everyone died. Friends and family." Jason felt the air was a little empty.
"There were only a handful of fighters left, and we finally defeated him."
Is he really afraid of Thanos? Of course he is. Isn't everything Thanos does exactly what he is worried about?
The earth was destroyed, family and friends died tragically before their eyes, and they were powerless to do anything.
The peaceful life was broken, but why did I have a feeling that I was not very afraid of Thanos?
Thanos is the most powerful person in the universe. There is no reason for me not to be afraid of him.
Jason shook his head to drive away the strange thoughts in his mind.
"Eradicating nightmares can increase your mental strength." Iron Fist pointed to his forehead.
"But it seems that you lack systematic training. You are unable to integrate the three elements of spirit, energy and soul. Perhaps we should start training from the most basic level."
Iron Fist said, pointing to the fitness equipment outside.
"Are you sure it will work?" Jason really didn't believe that these things could work on him.
"Follow my energy and close all the valves in your body. I believe it will work." Iron Fist said with a smile, but why was his smile so weird?
Jason followed Iron Fist's instructions and tried the so-called valve closing.
When the upper, middle and lower Dantian valves were all closed, Jason staggered and almost fell.
An unprecedented feeling of weakness came over him. He had become accustomed to the energy filling his body.
But after all three valves were closed, he instantly became an ordinary person.
It felt like the heaviness that comes with swimming in a pool for an hour.
"Do you think these gadgets are useful now?" Jason now understood Iron Fist's smile, which was gloating.
"Close the valve, don't actively open it, start training, and think about the power that is always inside your body. Let all the energy be exhaled and heated up by your breath. This is the purpose of training."
However, Iron Fist still explained to Jason the reason for doing so.
Well, in order to truly master the power within his body, Jason decided to trust Iron Fist once.
However, starting today, the training will definitely become more and more difficult.
