===Secret Wars (2015)===
In the 2015 ''[[Secret Wars (2015)|Secret Wars]]'' storyline, a version of Shang-Chi resides in the [[wuxia]]-inspired [[K'un-Lun]] region of [[Battleworld]]. In this continuity, he is the exiled son of Emperor '''[[Zheng Zu#Secret Wars (2015)|Zheng Zu]], Master of the Ten Rings''', a ruthless martial arts school that uses mystical powers and techniques based on [[Mandarin's rings|the powers of the Mandarin's ten rings]] from the [[Earth-616|mainstream continuity]]. Shang-Chi is wanted for the murder of Lord Tuan, the master of the [[Iron Fist (character)|Iron Fist]] school, the main rivals of the Ten Rings school. A drunk vagabond, Shang-Chi is approached by [[Kitty Pryde|Kitten]] to help teach her and her group of fellow outcasts who had been exiled from each of their respective schools the techniques of the Ten Rings. Ashamed by his upbringing, Shang-Chi coldly refuses and insults the group, outraging their leader, [[Callisto (comics)|Callisto]], who informs the emperor of Shang-Chi's whereabouts. The gang's hideout raided by K'un Lun's sheriff and Tuan's student [[Iron Fist (character)|Rand-K'ai]], the emperor's assassin [[Elektra (comics)|Red Sai]] of the [[The Hand (comics)|Red Hand]] school and Ten Rings enforcer [[Taskmaster (character)|Laughing Skull]] but after Laughing Skull kills outcast [[Cypher (comics)|Cy]] against Rand-K'ai's orders, Shang-Chi helps the group escape with the '''Nightbringer''' technique. A guilt ridden Shang-Chi agrees to take the outcasts as his pupils, dubbing their new school '''The Lowest Caste'''. Shang-Chi returns from his exile to represent the Lowest Caste for the tournament held every thirteen years to decide which participating master would be the next ruler of K'un-Lun. Zu allows Shang-Chi to participate but alters the rules so Shang-Chi would have to defeat every representative before facing him in the Thirteen Chambers. After defeating [[Namor]], [[Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)|Drew]], [[Karnak (comics)|Karnak]], [[Betsy Braddock|Lady Mandarin]], [[White Tiger (Ava Ayala)|Ava]], [[Sabretooth (character)|Creed]], [[Moon Knight|Spector]] and [[Black Panther (comics)|T'Challa]] in consecutive matches, Shang-Chi encounters Rand-K'ai and Red Sai in the penultimate match of the Thirteen Chambers. During the fight, Red Sai confesses that Zu had sent her to assassinate his rival Tuan but ultimately failed. To spare his lover and her students from the emperor's wrath, Shang-Chi killed Tuan; Zu implicated and exiled his son for the murder to cover his own involvement. After the truth is revealed, Red Sai and Rand-K'ai let Shang-Chi pass so that he could defeat his father. During the fight between Shang-Chi and Zheng Zu, Zu attempts to kill his son with the '''Spectral Touch''' technique, only for the move to pass through him due to Shang-Chi learning Kitten's [[Kitty Pryde#Powers and abilities|technique to become intangible]]. Shang-Chi proceeds to use nine of the Ten Ring techniques against his father and ultimately defeats him with '''[[Gorgon (Tomi Shishido)|The Gorgon's Eye]]''', which turns him into stone. With Zu's defeat, Shang-Chi becomes the new emperor of K'un-Lun.<ref name="MoKF2">{{cite comic|writer= Blackman, Haden|penciller= Talajić, Dalibor|inker= Sudzuka, Goran|story= Chapter Two: Master's Son|title= Master of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #2|date= August 2015}}</ref><ref name="MoKF4">{{cite comic|writer= Blackman, Haden|penciller= Talajić, Dalibor|inker= Talajić, Dalibor|story= Chapter Four: Master and Apprentice|title= Master of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #4|date= October 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite comic|writer= Blackman, Haden|penciller= Talajić, Dalibor|inker= Sudzuka, Goran|story= Chapter One: Master Drunk|title=Master of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #1|date= July 2015}}<br>{{cite comic|writer= Blackman, Haden|penciller= Talajić, Dalibor|inker= Sudzuka, Goran|story= Chapter Three: Masters All|title=Master of Kung Fu|volume= 2|issue= #3|date= September 2015}}</ref>
