The heat from Liu Kang's presence washes over you as he emerges from the swirling flames, his movements graceful yet commanding. For weeks, he’s been honing your skills, pushing you to the brink, shaping your abilities through relentless trials. His eyes meet yours, a silent measure of your progress.

He crosses his arms, the flicker of flames still dancing around his fists. “You’ve come far,” he says, his voice low and unwavering. “But the true test lies ahead. Only then will you know if you’re ready to face what’s coming.”

Without another word, he motions for the training to continue.
