Ch. 32 - The Jade Masters
*Clang!*
Deflecting one of the Jade Master's attack, Jin was overwhelmed by four masters attacking him at the same time.
'Okay, I regret coming here faster.' Jin said to himself in regret, thankfully the rest of them has finally arrived, along with Li Shen, who was being shown around by Po, despite fighting the Jade Masters.
*Swooosshh!*
Dodging Master Porcupine's arrows, Jin used a nearby wok to deflect the rest of the arrows before throwing the wok to Master Porcupine, who just took the wok head on, without suffering any injury.
'Well, they're made of chi, so I guess it's kinda impossible to hurt them.' Jin said to himself before rushing towards Master Porcupine.
*Swoosh!* x10
Dodging all of the arrows thrown at him, Jin arrived in front of Master Porcupine and was about to deliver a blow to his head when he was suddenly intercepted by two other Jade Masters.
"Annoying!" Jin exclaimed as he decided to take out the twin badgers first, their combos were not only annoying but also troublesome.
"Aren't these masters supposed to be dead like, a hundred years ago?" Monkey said I'm confusion, as he parried some of the Jade Master's attacks, however due to him babbling his mouth, he was caught off guard and was blasted away by Master Porcupine.
"Hah!" Arriving with a blast, Tigress blasted one of the badger twins in the air before Crane swiftly arrives and delivered a devastating wing attack on the Master Badger.
"Wings of Justice!" Crane yelled his attack, before using both of his wings to generate a wind wave strong enough to destroy an entire tree from its root.
"Woah! This is awesome! Quick! Give me someone to fight!" Po excitedly said, wanting to shor off in front of his father.
Hearing his request, Mantis decided to grant it, he fought off with the other Master Badger twin and threw him towards Po.
"Wohoah-uff!" Unfortunately for him, Po failed to show off as Mantis's throw was too fast and strong.
"Oops, sorry!" Mantis quickly apologized before being hit by one of Master Porcupine's arrows.
*Bam!*
Emerging from Master Porcupine's side, Jin sweeped his legs underneath Master Porcupine before using a metallic stick to choke on Master Porcupine.
Staring at Master Porcupine's eyes, Jin saw that it was glowing in green, so he could already tell that Kai must've been watching him by now.
"So, you're the Dragon Warrior. Your Chi is impressive! I could sense your chi is very destructive! Hehaha, I can't wait to take your chi!" Hearing Master Porcupine talk with Kai's voice, Jin responded.
"And who are you?" Despite knowing about Kai, Jin obviously can't reveal himself, so he asked.
"The one and only, General Kai! The Supreme Warlord of all China! Master of Pain and Maker of Widows?"
"Who?" Tigress appeared behind him along with Monkey and the rest while in their arms were the Twin Badgers, without budging.
"Huh? You don't know me? Fine, it's only natural for Oogway to erase me from history. No worries, just wait for me and I'll make sure you'll never forget about me!" As soon as Kai finished stating his purpose, the three Jade Masters started shaking involuntarily before turning into wisps of green chi as it took off in the sky.
"Master, do you know about Kai?" Tigress asked.
"Kai....Kai....Kai..." Master Shifu seemed to be racking his brain and just when his face says something as if he finally got it, his expression suddenly turned bland.
"Nope never heard of him."
[A/N: I always liked this scene, it never fails to make me laugh.]
"He mentioned Master Oogway, so he's somehow related to him."

While they're walking back to the Jade Palace in order to know more about General Kai, Jin decided to not join them as he already knows who Kai is and how to defeat him.
Walking to the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom, Jin sat on the ground while leaning on the tree. Questions were running inside his head.
Could he defeat Kai?
Unlike Po in the movie, who has the plot armor and the Pandas using their chi to help him, Jin doesn't have any of that, so what he needs is pure strength to defeat Kai.
Sure he could go to the panda village but would he surely be able to get their trust and belief like how Po did in the movie? Jin is sure that it would be hard considering he's not a fellow panda of theirs.
"Hey, peach tree. Do you think I could defeat Kai?" Jin then chuckled after asking the peach tree and as expected, he received no response, so he went back to thinking by himself.
'I could either try what Po did in the movie which is to take Kai back to the Spirit realm. However, the problem is, it would make it easier for Kai to defeat me there and take my chi.' Scratching his head in irritation, Jin knew he stand no chance against Kai unless he unlocks his Angel Bloodline or something.
As he thought of this, Jin's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
'That's it! I just need to somehow unlock my angel Bloodline! If not, maybe Jin's devil bloodline should also work! But how?' Standing up, Jin started pacing around as he tries to think on how would he unlock his bloodline.
'Maybe I should increase my Jin Kazama percentage? I remember it was already in 84%' Jin then proceeded to inhale and exhale in order to calm himself.
'Okay, don't get too excited, Jin. First, I need to train my ass off before Kai arrives.' Just when Jin was about to leave to train, he suddenly heard a voice that he hasn't heard for months.
"Looks like you finally got your problem solved." God suddenly appeared while sitting on top of the peach tree.
"God? Oh how I missed your voice!" Jin sighed in relief. These few days he thought God had already forgotten about him.
"Don't be like that, I was just busy with a few things. There's this guy that decided to kill children with an axe, tsk tsk, it's quite sad how humanity has fallen." God then sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
"Well, I hope those kids are in good hands now. Now that you're here, can you tell me a way to unlock my angel Bloodline? I already found my inner peace but I haven't unlocked it yet." Jin was desperate to know.
"Sigh, if only you didn't get Jin Kazama's Template then you wouldn't be having this problem now. Your Angel Bloodline has long been activated, it's just that Jin Kazama's devil bloodline is interfering, both sides are having a clash and you need to make peace between the both of them." God said while pointing at his heart.
"Wait what?! But how?" Jin was shocked by the revelation as he asked.
"Search it within your soul and you shall find the answer you seek." God said before disappearing after Jin blinked.
"How the hell am I supposed to do tha-?!" Jin was about to throw his arms in the air when he heard Tigress's voice.
"Jin?"
"Hey, Tigress? What are you doing here?" Jin asked as he gestured for Tigress to sit next to him.
Tigress did as he gestured before intertwining their fingers together.
'She's getting bold. I like it.' Jin thought to himself as Tigress started explaining to him about Kai and his past with Oogway.
"You should come with Po and his father. Li Shan will teach Po about Chi and Master Shifu requests to bring you along." Tigress said with a hint of sadness in her voice, as if not wanting to be away from Jin.
Chuckling, Jin tightened the grip between their fingers as he spoke.
"I'm going nowhere. I'm staying here with you. But let Po go with his father. Just in case I failed to defeat Kai, Po might be our only chance." Jin said with a slight confident smile.
"Really?" Tigress's face beamed in happiness however, realizing that she's not supposed to show excitement, she cleared her expression and asked.
"I mean, why?"
"That's because I'm 100% confident that Li Shan doesn't know chi." Jin smiled mysteriously before standing up.
"Tell Master Shifu that I would be staying, if you need me, I'll just be in the training halls." Jin said before leaving under Tigress's complicated and confused gaze.
"Don't worry about him, he knows what he's doing." Suddenly, Tigress heared a voice behind her.
Quickly turning around, Tigress was faced with God's smiling face while sitting on the same branch that he sat on earlier.
"Who are you! How did you reach this place?" Tigress assumed her tiger style stance while her eyes were squinting towards God.
"Me?" God chuckled before spreading his arms in a lazy manner.
"I'm God."

Reaching the training hall, Jin saw that it was empty so he decided to warm up first before testing his current limits.
"I have several techniques in my head that belonged to Jin Kazama. However, I rarely use some of it, right now I need to train with those techniques, Kai is my enemy this time, meaning I can't use any other strategies, only close combat fight." With that said, Jin then proceed to wear his gloves, which he only wears whenever he's on a mission or fighting someone.
Jin already knows the techniques and he's sure that he could perform them as if some kind of muscle memory. However, he can't simply rely on that, Jin wanted to familiarized himself on the techniques in order to use them to their potential in several situations.
"The first technique I should practice with is the Konshin Seikenzuki Technique, one of Jin's terrifying techniques." After skimming his mind, Jin came across a certain techniques that would not only train his body movements but also his lightning chi.

[You guys could search up Jin's Konshin Seikenzuki Technique or Avenger in English, it's actually a strong one that could take half the opponents health once you successfully executed the move.]
