American Comics: The Radiant Knight Arrives, and Vampires Fall to the Ripple in an Instant

The auction house alarm blares just as Li Ming completes his transformation into an Armed Warrior of Ripple Courage. The robbers chose the moment when Kingpin's assets were being auctioned to strike, clearly intending to seize territory during the power vacuum in the underworld. Li Ming clenches his fists as ripples skitter over his armor like golden sparks. This is his first real fight since awakening his powers. There is no backing down, and he absolutely cannot lose.

Only after slipping into the auction hall does he realize that there are far more robbers than expected, and a hooded figure is lurking by the back entrance, heading straight for the safe. Even worse, the hostages have been herded into the center of the hall, where a shootout would inevitably put innocent people in danger. Li Ming steadies his breathing as Ripple perception spreads across the floor. Every trace of energy tells him the same thing: he has to end this fight fast and precisely.

He needs the perfect moment to strike. While Spider-Man draws their fire from the front, Li Ming will enter the battlefield from the shadows, use the explosive force of Ripple Breathing to take down the gunmen in an instant, then rely on the Light Rider armor's speed to intercept the mysterious figure heading for the safe. As long as he keeps his rhythm, this debut will give him a foothold in New York's dark night.
