Ox Talisman

Fang and Yin Sen found themselves invited to sit in Tony's luxurious car. Rhodey, seated in the co-pilot seat, held a walkie-talkie and reprimanded the security team for allowing the assassin to get so close to Tony.

After admonishing his subordinates, Rhodey looked in the rearview mirror and locked eyes with Fang.

Fang raised an eyebrow in response, curious about Rhodey's gaze.

In a friendly tone, Rhodey asked, "Is that person your subordinate? I was standing in front of you at the time, and that ninja flew past me. With their strength and skill, they could have easily assassinated Tony in countless ways."

Fang was surprised by Rhodey's keen observation. "Your eyesight is impressive. How did you figure it out?" he asked.

Rhodey replied seriously, "Among everyone present, you're the only one with such a strong aura of danger and aloofness. It's only natural for someone like you to have a powerful bodyguard. I just didn't expect the bodyguard to be so skilled. We're all members of the Special Forces, yet no one noticed the ninja's presence or how they disappeared afterward."

Impressed by Rhodey's discerning eye, Fang remarked, "You have a sharp eye."

Yin Sen remained silent, observing the exchange. To him, this was a battle between gods, and all he saw was a blur of movement before Tony went flying.

Rhodey turned his gaze to Fang and asked with curiosity, "Why are you so close to Tony?"

Fang waved his hand dismissively. "It was a chance encounter, so I took advantage of it. You might not believe it, but I was also once kidnapped by the Ten Rings."

Rhodey was stunned. "You were kidnapped?" he exclaimed.

Fang leaned back in his seat, a calm expression on his face. "Yes, that's why I ordered the extermination of every member of the Ten Rings."

Rhodey was taken aback by Fang's revelation.

How could someone as important and powerful as Fang be tied up with them?

However, considering the information reported at the scene, Rhodey knew that the members of the Ten Rings were killed with knives. It was a very ninja-like execution.

Nodding in understanding, Rhodey respectfully handed Fang his business card. "Fang, please accept this," he said.

Knowing the power of a formidable Eastern necromancer, Rhodey saw the benefits of having such a connection.

As a soldier, he knew that there might come a time when he would need assistance in dire situations.

Fang looked at Rhodey's outstretched hand, his smile fading as he became indifferent. "I saved Tony's life, and in return, he rewarded me with the world's most advanced individual combat armor. What can you bring me?" he asked.

Rhodey replied seriously, "As an Air Force colonel, I have access to the national global satellite surveillance system. I can provide you with critical military information. There may be times when you need official assistance to resolve certain troubles and trivial matters."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Fang's mouth as he took Rhodey's business card. "Not bad," he commented.

Fang toyed with the business card for a moment before letting it go, tossing it behind him. A shadowy, iron-blue hand reached out and grabbed the card, disappearing back into the shadows.

Rhodey's eyelids twitched as he realized how the black ninja had appeared.

With a satisfactory outcome, Fang closed his eyes and began to draw a lottery. Rhodey and Yin Sen wisely kept their voices low, maintaining silence.

The driver of the car was a soldier, and he looked straight ahead, focused on the road.

[Start lottery draw]

[Scope of the lottery: Jackie Chan World Adventures]

[Lucky draw reward: Ox Talisman! ]

[Ox Talisman: Make the holder infinitely powerful! ]

"Mou!"

A bull roar resounded in Fang's spiritual world, and an incomparably powerful sense of power spread throughout his body.

Fang could clearly feel his body undergoing a perfect metamorphosis, with his muscles rapidly becoming stronger and more defined under his necromancer robe.

The effects of the two spells, Horse Talisman and Ox Talisman, appeared in his mind.

[Horse Talisman]

[Active: Heal all injuries (you can also restore things to their original best appearance)]

[Passive: Regenerative Healing Factor]

[Ox Talisman]

[Active: Consume mana to permanently increase strength]

[Passive: Body of Perfect Power]

These simple words described the unpretentious yet extremely powerful spell powers.

Opening his eyes, Fang saw a dark blue octagonal bull-head rune faintly floating in his eyes, rapidly fading away with time. He smiled with satisfaction and said, "Interesting."

The passive effect of the Ox Talisman brought his body's strength to a perfect state. But that wasn't the limit. By consuming mana, he could constantly enhance his strength and physical fitness.

As the leader of the ghost army, Fang could communicate with the dark kingdom and absorb infinite dark power, even from the main plane. This meant that he could increase his strength without limit.

Even without actively doing anything, as the king of darkness, the combination of his naturally growing magic power and the Ox Talisman would make him stronger.

Fang shook his palm, eager to test his newfound strength. "Is there any place nearby that can be destroyed? I want to test my strength," he said.

Rhodey was surprised by Fang's request. "Test your strength? What exactly do you need?" he asked.

Fang thought for a moment before replying, "Something hard enough."

Rhodey didn't hesitate to suggest, "You can go directly to Tony's house. He has a semi-finished Vibranium shield there. I've been eyeing that valuable item for a long time."

Vibranium shield, known as the hardest metal in the universe, was one of the top three super metals on Earth.

Yin Sen, with a perplexed expression, adjusted his glasses and asked, "How do you know so much about it?"

Rhodey, feeling indignant, explained, "The last time we made a bet, I clearly won the semi-finished shield. But that guy didn't remember a thing after he sobered up and even told me to get out!"

Rhodey couldn't help but think about the possibilities if he could transform that shield into body armor or a weapon. It would be top-notch.

Fang looked at the route and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Rhodey shrugged and replied, "We're going to his home."

Considering their heroic actions and the favor they had earned, Tony would surely be happy to show off that shield.

Fang's mood lifted, and he adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position. "Very good, very good," he said with a smile.

The car continued on its way, reaching Tony's luxurious three-story villa by the sea in the suburbs in less than 30 minutes.

As Fang stepped out of the car, he caught sight of Tony and Potts walking ahead, engrossed in a lively conversation. Potts appeared coy and blushing, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.

After Tony succeeded in cheering up Potts, he turned towards Fang with genuine gratitude shining in his eyes. With a slight bow of his head, Tony expressed his heartfelt appreciation, "Thank you. You've helped me realize who the most precious person in my life is. Whatever you desire, I, Tony Stark, am willing to grant it to you."

It was a remarkably sincere and human moment, unlike anything Tony had ever uttered before.

Fang chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "In that case, how about bringing out that Vibranium shield you have at home? I'm eager to put it to the test," he suggested.

Tony momentarily froze, exchanging a glance with Rhodey for confirmation. Rhodey whistled nonchalantly, gazing up at the sky as if a fleet of Blackbird fighter jets were soaring above.

Rolling his eyes at Rhodey's antics, Tony turned his attention back to Fang. A mischievous smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he responded, "Alright, but let's not equate a mere piece of Vibranium to my life. Next time, feel free to ask for something even more valuable."

Fang understood that Tony had misconstrued his intention, but he saw no need to clarify further. Instead, he graciously accepted Tony's offer and readied himself to test his skills with the Vibranium shield.
