He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 178 Winning the Rings (Third Update)

"Mr. Li, please!"

The helicopter landed on the platform of the Ten Rings Gang's headquarters, and Razor Fist was the first to jump down.

Li Chuan nodded and, led by Razor Fist, entered the base. Along the way, he could see many members of the Ten Rings Gang wearing special armor, training with cold weapons.

These gang members were all exceptionally skilled; they would be considered top-tier experts among ordinary people.

After several twists and turns, Li Chuan soon arrived at an office, where Wen Wu, dressed in a white suit, was already sitting and waiting for him.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat!"

"Mr. Xu's base looks quite nice."

Li Chuan sat down opposite Xu Wenwu without any hesitation.

Xu Wenwu looked at Li Chuan with a scrutinizing gaze, then went straight to the point:

"If you can resurrect my wife, I will rescind the assassination attempt on you and give you many benefits. But if you dare to lie to me, you will be thrown into the mountains outside the base to be fed to the wolves today!"

"No, no, no, you're wrong. I'll help you revive your wife. You'll give me the Ten Rings and become my subordinate. From now on, you'll lead your Ten Rings Gang and obey my orders."

Otherwise, I'll kill you and your children, send your whole family to meet your wife, and then destroy the Ten Rings Gang!

Li Chuan shook his head with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenwu's eyes narrowed instantly, and a powerful killing intent emanated from his body.

"Kid, do you know what price you'll pay for messing with me, Xu Wenwu?"

"It seems you don't trust me. Then let's go spar in that training ground!"

Without wasting words, Li Chuan took out his magic wand and Apparated away from the office, appearing in the large training ground where the members of the Ten Rings Gang were training.

This base will belong to him soon. It wouldn't be good if he fought Xu Wenwu in the office and damaged his base.

When Xu Wenwu saw Li Chuan's figure disappear into the office, his pupils contracted. He then took off his coat, revealing the ten rings on his arm, and quickly walked towards the training ground.

He had long suspected that the other party might be extraordinary, but he never expected that the other party would be able to teleport.

As a human who has lived for over a thousand years, he has naturally encountered special groups such as superhumans and mages, but most of them are just so-so, and under his ten-ring power, they basically have no power to fight back.

So although he was surprised, he wasn't particularly concerned.

"It seems you do have some skill."

Arriving at the training ground above the base, Xu Wenwu saw his elite men lying dead in droves. A hint of caution appeared in his eyes as the rings flew from his arm and began to circle around him.

Li Chuan waved his hand and tentatively threw out a stun spell, but before it could get close to Xu Wenwu, it was bounced off by the rings surrounding him.

"It can reflect energy attacks, which is a pretty good feature."

Seeing that the Ten Rings had deflected the Stunning Spell, Li Chuan's eyes lit up.

Most wizards' magic doesn't actually have high energy intensity; it's mainly because it has a wide variety of functions and produces very powerful effects when it hits. So it's understandable that it can be easily deflected by a tenth-ringed magic.

In fact, the stronger his tenth ring ability is, the happier he will be, because once he obtains the tenth ring and goes to the wizarding world, he will not need to defend against most magic. He can simply release the tenth ring to defend against it, which will also increase his own strength.

If the power of the tenth ring couldn't even withstand a single stun spell from him, he would be disappointed.

"Second Form, the Fifth Gate of the Eight Gates - Gate of Closure - Open!"

Since magic is unlikely to be effective, he will use his best skill—close combat—to overwhelm his opponent.

Li Chuan's body rapidly expanded into its second form, and with the blessing of the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, he shot straight towards Xu Wenwu like a bolt of lightning.

Xu Wenwu instantly threaded the bullseye into his hand and fearlessly faced Li Chuan.

"boom!"

The two men's fists and feet collided, and the powerful force produced a sound similar to a gas explosion, causing cracks to appear on the hard ground of the training ground.

Li Chuan is proficient in Chinese martial arts and has incorporated taijutsu from the Naruto world. His punches and kicks are not only powerful but also contain hidden force that can penetrate deep into the body. Xu Wenwu has fought for thousands of years, and his fighting skills have naturally reached a superb level.

The two exchanged blows on the training ground and surprisingly, they were evenly matched.

However, Li Chuan quickly discovered Xu Wenwu's weakness. Xu Wenwu's power came from the ten rings, but the ten rings were external power, unlike his power which came from his own body. Therefore, Xu Wenwu's weakness was actually the ten rings.

The ten rings are mainly divided into two modes: one is to spread out like a magic weapon to assist in attacks, and the other is to be worn on the arm.

When the ten rings are dispersed, under Xu Wenwu's control, they can be used in conjunction with his main body to attack Li Chuan, but it is obvious that his main body's attack power will decrease significantly at this time.

When the ten rings enter his arm, his body will be strengthened by the power of the ten rings, making him able to barely contend with Li Chuan who has opened five gates.

In terms of true strength, Li Chuan was stronger than Xu Wenwu at this time. Xu Wenwu was able to remain undefeated in the battle against Li Chuan by skillfully switching between the two attack modes of the ten-ring.

"I never imagined there was such a monster as you in the world. But you can't possibly defeat me, because the power of the tenth ring is inexhaustible, while you will eventually run out of strength."

Xu Wenwu sneered as he fought Li Chuan.

Li Chuan's strength truly surprised him. There are very few people in the world who can fight him to this extent with their own strength.

However, he still didn't think he would lose, because the power of the ten rings was inexhaustible, and he wouldn't feel tired even if he played like this for a year.

Li Chuan simply smiled, then exchanged a punch with Xu Wenwu, using the force to retreat a short distance, before beginning to form hand seals:

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, ten shadow clones appeared beside him.

Instead of having his shadow clones help beat up Xu Wenwu, he had them form hand seals and begin unleashing ninjutsu attacks.

Shadow clones divide the body's chakra evenly and are easy to disappear after being attacked, so they are not suitable for close-quarters combat. Once broken, it is equivalent to losing a lot of chakra.

Under normal circumstances, ninjas rarely create a large number of shadow clones for combat. They usually create one occasionally to lure the enemy and deliver a fatal blow, just like when Kakashi fought Zabuza.

Naruto is a special case. He naturally has a lot of chakra in his body, and he also has the Nine-Tails' infinite chakra extractor, so it doesn't matter whether it's wasted or not.

In his view, if the chakra reserves are sufficient, shadow clones are most useful for supporting ninjutsu attacks.

If Naruto had a slightly better ninjutsu talent, he wouldn't need to learn the Rasengan. He could just unleash a Great Fireball Jutsu like Sasuke, creating thousands of shadow clones to attack the enemy simultaneously. Even Kage-level ninjas would have a headache with that.

The combined power of thousands of fireballs is absolutely immense.
