I know what some of you guys are thinking...now that Max is 10, has he lost touch with kung-fu? You be the judge...

Chapter 3: Progressing Moves

At the Jade Palace

Max was facing off with Tigress once again for a little training session and although Tigress would have anything else better to do other than this, she was determined to show him that she can still be capable of showing him who's the dominant force of kung-fu. But Max...played it cool and showed zero fear at all and has a little bit of confidence in himself after all the stuff he's gotten over the years and he was more than ready and game to spar with Tigress.

"You may be older now, but don't think I'll go easy on you." Tigress said, with a hint of warning in her voice.

"I don't expect you to." Max replied.

With that, Tigress more than ready to unsheath her claws and attack him in full force, but unbeknownst to her...Max came back swinging as he jabbed a right hook direct to Tigress' face resulting in a punch-out penetration and flips her down the ground multiple times and used her Tiger Style against her and delivered a round-house one two kick.

Tigress was being beaten like never before and she got right back and she turned completely serious and furious as she went forward to attack Max with zero amounts of mercy whatsoever and punched, kicked, threw and unleashed a huge amount of fury on him...but Max didn't seem fazed at all as he blocked and dodged her punches through and through.

It was with these same moves he used when he was younger that grew into something energetic and useful as he aged differently and it was like he learned it perfectly well like a trained pro...and it was always something that always angered and annoyed Tigress the most because he's young and is so good at everything he does that age didn't even matter.

The final move resulted in Max catapulting himself down towards the air and did a rapid full-fledged bodyslam on Tigress as the final KO. Afterwards, Tigress was laid down on the ground, looking shocked, bewildered and straight up angry that she got beaten by him again...even after growing older.

"Good sparring session." Max said, being polite as possible.

As Max walked away, Tigress growled at herself for challenging Max multiple times over the years to spar with him so he can be beaten and she can gain victory...but it turned the other way around and because Max is very advanced, she sees him as a big threat over not just his skills, but his talents that go beyond his years.

"I will never...lose to that cub. I don't care if he's still a kid. I will demolish him and he'll pay for defeating me in every sparring session." Tigress growled.

Meanwhile at the courtyard

Musaki and Arizona sparred with each other and for Musaki, he's gained a lot more strength throughout the whole day as his fighting skills grew progressively quick, fast and invincible due to his muscles and built style...because he had many years of experience of how mature and strong a kung-fu student can actually be and Arizona is the same way...only much more wiser and stronger than he is.

Arizona was determined to keep fighting and sparring Musaki and gained much more physical strength and just worked twice as hard to keep his fighting spirit pumping up and as Musaki went ahead and did his punch/kick style, Arizona grabbed his ankle and flipped him three times until Musaki placed his hands on the ground, did an aerial backflip and swiped Arizona in the head.

Arizona got back up and panted heavily and Shifu called it a stop as the two looked at each other for a second and Shifu said, "You two still got it. Well done to both of you."

"Thanks, Master Shifu." they replied, in unison.

Shifu comes over to Arizona and he tells him, "I'm well aware that you're becoming a first time father. I'd like to wish you congratulations on this occasion."

"Thanks, Shifu. It's actually the reason why I still wanna keep training...so I can be strong for Sierra and our cub. We're not sure if it'll be a boy or a girl." Arizona answered.

"I keep telling you, dude. It's gonna be a boy." Musaki added.

Just then, they see Max walking past them and he said 'hi' to them as well and they responded back and Shifu asked, "How'd it go with Tigress?"

"The usual." Max replied.

Soon enough, they see Tigress coming out of there still fuming over the loss of the sparring match and Musaki asked, "That bad?"

"I don't wanna talk about it!" Tigress shouted, pointing at Musaki.

Then, she turned to Max in which she responded with a stern growl and said, "This isn't over."

"One of these days, Tigress...it's gonna grow old. I can't always compete with you forever." Max stated.

"We'll see about that." Tigress growled, then walks away in a huff.

Shifu lets out a deep sigh as he lowered his ears down in shame and said to himself, "This is gone too far enough already."

"It's all right, Shifu. I'm used to it." Max added, with a smile.

Ironically, the rivalry between the two is another focal point into the story as Tigress' jealousy will grow more. You'll see later on!
