The Ring

My ring is right in front of me, and honestly, I'm scared to put it on, what if it doesn't bond with me? "Go ahead, put it on, let's see if it bonds with you." Master Shifu says, I nod and reach for the ring. *Thrum* *Thrum* *Thrum* The ring emits chi, and the chi rushes into my body, adding to my own, I feel a rush of knowledge flood into my head, nerve points, more styles of fighting, how to use chi, calligraphy styles. "Oh my God, it worked, it bonded with you!" Master Shifu whisper yells in astonishment, I look down at my hand paws, they're mostly covered in gloves, leaving my fingers out, I can't even feel the armor, it feels like my normal body. "I should show the others!" I shout out, running to the training hall, Master Shifu follows me. I rush into the training hall, everyone looks at me and gets into a fighting stance until they see the tail and the ears popping out of my armor. "Ares?" Tigress asks, shock apparent on her face, I guess it's just my thing. "Yeah, the ring bonded with me and I got a ton of more knowledge about martial arts and nerve points." I reply, everybody stares at me, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I retract my armor, another thing I learned was how to use my armor, I retract it and it turns into a ring, if I retract it further, it goes into my chi pool, effectively hiding it. I'm probably going to keep it in my chi pool most of the time so people can't grab it from me, they wouldn't be able to use it but it doesn't mean they can't take it. The ring is currently in my chi pool, and I honestly feel confident enough to take on Tigress with ease. Maybe I'm growing too fast, but it's needed, I need to be ready for Tai Lung, I need to practice, I need to be the best at everything, I need to be so strong my punches shatter ironwood trees, I need to be so fast I make Mantis look slow, I need to be so durable some people would think I'm Superman, I need to be perfect, I need to be able to easily beat Tai Lung.
