To the city of Tibet
[Tai Lung's POV]
"That took a lot out of me." I said as a dry laugh escaped my throat.
"More than I thought it would." I looked at my hand and wondered when I would be able to throw those kind of attack like normal punches.
It might sound crazy but I was determined to make it happen one day.
A day where I would be able to crush mountains with but one gesture of my hand. I didn't care if the world was not strong enough for such powers. it should've have never given a reality-bending energy to me in the first place.
I walked through the plains of the Tibetan Empire, surveying the whole area and landscape so that i could have a mental map of the land in my mind.
I made sure to remember where there were mountains, rough terrains that would be difficult for a huge army to traverse, lakes and ponds which could act as a source of water and all other important things.
Only an incompetent warrior would remain uncertain of his environment and a General who lacked awareness of his surroundings would be even more disastrous.
It was also why I was walking instead of flying and looking down at the landscape. I want to feel how it felt to walk in the terrain, how far the soldiers can see on foot and so on.
It had been a day since I wiped out the army camping too close to our border and even if I was not aware of what was happening, I knew I most likely caused a stir amongst everyone.
Which was exactly what I was trying to achieve with that costly move.
Even after a day, I had not fully recovered all of the Chi I had used on that single power move. Which just goes to show the urgency at which I need to find ways to have more chi.
It's like I had been upgrading my weapons but I lacked the necessary ammo to use them. Such things could not remain unchanged.
I needed to achieve the impossible and expand my chi. I had been trying to lower how much chi each attack took by refining my control but such things could go only so far.
I hoped my tall tasks of defending China from every invader would work as an enlightenment. Something that would push me to my limits and bring out my true potential.
Because that's how most warriors get stronger. Not because of the desire for rewards but due to the heavy consequences of failure.
"This will do." I said as I closed my mind and tried to recollect the nature of my surroundings.
I nodded when I could recall vividly how the landscape was. I was done.
Then I lept into the sky and flew towards the border. I did not actually reach the defensive walls on our border though as I stopped somewhere farther.
And if I stayed in close to the enemy, it meant that I could keep an eye on them and maybe sabotage them if an attack was going to happen.
Which is way smarter than just sitting near the border like a rock and waiting for an invasion.
"Its more impressive than I thought." I commented as I looked at the great walls of the city and the well-maintained road leading to it.
But if I wanted to enter, I would need a disguise as my fame was spread throughout the world. There were many pictures and stories of me spread everywhere.
I hummed and looked around as I hid behind a tree, observing the many people travelling on the road. And when I finally saw a fellow feline who was about my size wearing clothes which greatly covered his face, I made a move. . He was also alone without a companion so I chose him as my victim.
*FWOOSH!!!*
I used flashsteps and ran across the road while grabbing him quickly. The civilians had no way of seeing my movements as they thought it was a sudden gust of wind.
I carried him to the other side of the road which was a thick forest.
"What? Wait who ar-" I quickly hit his nerve points and he went to sleep.
Then I stripped him of his clothes and wore them for myself. I also put on the traditional Tibetan hat that he had to hide my face.
"Okay, this will do." I said and left him in the shade to sleep for a day or two. Btu I left him a few coins by the side to make up for his inconvenience.
And then I went into the city of Tibet, unnoticed.
The first code of war.
Know your enemies.

By the way, I am destroying the city if they have no fish.
