| The Knight of Knights / int_5300b1de | comment |
Invincible Hero: Wen Su-Chen is borderline invincible and indestructible, with the amount of times he's imperiled being countable on one hand. Falling into the flaming trap? He just leaps out after struggling for five seconds. | |

| The Knight of Knights / int_bc8271df | comment |
In a Single Bound: It's a wuxia, so that is expected. In the opening scene Wen's brothers managed to infiltrate the Zhao Qing Monastery by leaping over it's walls and scaling it's fences, and jumps vertically several meters into the air while in the dungeon. Wen Su-Chen himself defies gravity throughout several fight scenes against the monks. | |
