===''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings''===
Unable to access the gateways to Ta-Lo, Shang-Chi has the Ten Rings sealed in a vault within the House of the Deadly Hand. Due to the final battle between Shang-Chi and Xin being televised all over the world, the Ten Rings have become public knowledge, prompting several criminal organizations into attacking the House of the Deadly Hand to claim the Rings, forcing Shang-Chi to don them again to fight them off.<ref>''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings'' #1.

These events are witnessed by the Xian [[Jinzha]] and [[Muzha (given name)|Muzha]], who question Shang-Chi's worthiness of wielding the Ten Rings, prompting them to host a '''Game of Rings''' to find a true Ring Keeper.<ref>''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings'' #3.

Shang-Chi and nine other fighters are summoned to the Meritorious Striving [[Pagoda]] in Ta-Lo as participants for the Game of Rings; each player is given one of the Ten Rings and forced to fight against one another in the pagoda, with the winner receiving all Ten Rings.  Shang-Chi forms an alliance with [[Shen Kuei]] and each are able to claim two Rings apiece before advancing to the pagoda's next floor.<ref>''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings'' #4.

Shang-Chi and Shen Keui are attacked by Leiko, who had been possessed by a spawn of the Desolation Wyrm and entered the tournament as a contestant.  After Shang-Chi frees her from the Wyrmspawn, Leiko apologizes to Shang-Chi for the theft of the Ten Rings and withdraws from the tournament.  However, Shen Kuei betrays Shang-Chi and steals Leiko's Ring from him as both advance to the final floor of the pagoda.<ref>''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings'' #5.

Shang-Chi is rescued by the other remaining player, Red Cannon, who reveals herself to be Shi-Hua.  Shi-Hua destroys the Wyrmspawn but when she is prevented by Shang-Chi from killing Shen Kuei, she gives her Rings to Shang-Chi and withdraws from the tournament.  Shang-Chi pleads with Jinzha and Muzha to heal Shen Kuei; the brothers honor his request and send Shen Kuei back to his home dimension.  Shang-Chi is declared winner of the Game of Rings and is congratulated by Jiang Li and the Jade Emperor, who reveal themselves to have orchestrated the Game of Rings to test Shang-Chi's worthiness of wielding the Rings.  The Emperor warns Shang-Chi of a looming threat to Earth that can only be stopped by a worthy Ring-Keeper on Earth, which was why he entrusted the Ten Rings with Shang-Chi.<ref>''Shang-Chi and the Ten Rings'' #6.

Shang-Chi is taken aback by Zu's heroic and amiable personality and befriends him.
