More than a dragon Warrior

Interlude

Interlude

[3rd POV]

China was experiencing the biggest change in all of its history.

Previously ruled by different tribes, kingdoms and empires, now it was going to be united under one banner, under one rule.

It was made possible by the alliance between the strongest warrior in the world, Tai Lung and the genius prince of Gongmen City, Shen.

They were a duo that would undoubtedly go down in history. For in the span of less than a year, they have achieved what their ancestors couldn't do for millennia.

But such achievement was to be expected from those who dared dream of conquering the whole world.

A new era had emerged in China. An era which was more peaceful and promising than the one before.

It would be a common deduction to think that China would be at its weakest and struggling to adapt to the change of this new era, but such assumptions would be wrong.

Instead of struggling to adapt, China and all its people were thriving in this new era. With Lord Shen's political genius and Tai Lung's god-like reputation, there was no trouble like most people would assume.

Shen was extremely intelligent and cunning in his schemes such that he was able to unite the kingdoms after their defeat without much trouble. Even the kingdoms which were at each other's throats the year before had accepted being together.

There was no revolt or internal conflicts. It was not that no one was opposed to the new rule but they knew they couldn't do anything. Their idea to revolt and resist the new rule diminished with each new achievements that Tai Lung made until they thought to themselves, 'Why bother?'

He was the strongest warrior. Their resistance was futile so they just accepted their situation. No one wants to die a meaningless death after all.

In return for this fear and respect for Tai Lung, Lord Shen's words - which were the same as Tai Lung's because of their alliance - were respected and taken with respect. They obeyed whatever orders they received.

And with such obedience, Shen was able to achieve his goal which was the prosperity of China. The six kingdoms which were already united were thriving like never before.

With the lack of constant wars and the need for vigilant soldiers at the borders, the roads and the cities were much safer. Most bandits dared not attack the merchants of the united China so trade thrived.

The economy of the kingdoms combined and morphed into something more than it ever was. The cities which were razed in Tai Lung's anger were also being slowly rebuilt and in a few years, would regain their prosperity.

And the military might was not at an all time low as the rulers outside of China might expect. Instead it was quite opposite because of Tai Lung.

The change happening in China seemed to be for good.

In the tavern of one of the cities, a group of people were crowding near one specific table as they wanted to hear what the guy sitting there had to say.

It was a bear who was on the older side and he was retelling an event which happened 23 years ago with vivid detail.

"And on that day, no one believed Tai Lung was going to triumph over Master Lishou. He was known for his unstoppable strength and impenetrable defence. He was a behemoth, a giant which no one thought would fall to the likes of a young warrior like Tai Lung." He said and his audience listened well.

"At the centre of the city, the fight took place. All of the citizens gathered to watch the fight because seeing Master Lishou fight was a privilege, and no one wanted to miss it. We made bets on how many hits Tai Lung would be able to take before he fell. I prayed that Tai Lung lasted at least a few hits so that i would be able to admire Master Lishou's techniques." He said and paused.

"There is no alternative where you come out as the victor. It is only a matter of time." He said and tugged at his chain and caught his green blades.

"Maybe, maybe not." Oogway said with a small laugh that held no amusement. It was a mask to hide his worry.

"But at least I am not alone anymore, right dear nephew?" Oogway asked with a smile towards the turtle monk.

"Urgh, don't bring me into this." Turtle Monk said while scratching his head, floating beside Oogway.

He was not among the kung fu masters Kai absorbed because he was a monk, not a kung fu master. he could fight, but he rarely does.

"I don't see why we have to sacrifice our eternal peace to fight someone like him? Why not just send him directly to the final boss?" Turtle Monk asked with a lazy stretch to his words.

"Tai Lung?"

"Yeah, I'm sure he can deal with him, although it might take some effort. We are only making him stronger by keeping him here." Turtle Monk said.

Oogway hummed before closing his eyes. He sent his sense to the mortal realm where he saw the scene of Tai Lung and the furious five, along with Po enjoying their time in the Panda village,

Tai Lung was trying to teach them how to utilize their chi but the Pandas were very bad students. Or should he say Tai Lung was a bad teacher, he could only teach through hardcore training and was new to teaching soft civilians.

Tai Lung was also helping them grow their crops master which was a way for him to practice the restoration side of his chi and every day was a huge feast due to the generous harvest.

Oogway opened his eyes, "Let's give him some more time."

"How long is some more time?"Turtle monk asked.

"As long as we can."

It was true that Kai was getting stronger, but Tai Lung himself was getting stronger faster than Kai.

Oogway believed that given some more time, Tai Lung would be able to defeat Kai easily instead of with some effort.

There would be a higher chance of victory for Tai Lung who was not meant to defeat Kai.

At least as long as Kai remained the same strength he was in the movies.
