Newly-Fledged Herald is the name of a main quest and the second boss fight in Chapter II of Shadow Fight 3. It takes place at the Hundred School Tournament.

Story

The player manages to reach the Tournament's finale. The opponent is none other than Xiang Tzu, who just became a Herald. Xiang Tzu states that he will win with his new awesome style. June could only wonder if he has just undergone an accelerated course to be a Herald, in which Xiang Tzu replies by claiming that he is just learning fast and now he is the only worthy opponent for the player according to Kibo.

Fight Info

Xiang Tzu is fought as the second boss of Chapter II. The fight can consist of up to five rounds, and the players must win three rounds in order to win. The time for each round is 99 seconds, and the players must defeat Xiang Tzu before the timer ends, otherwise, they will lose that round.

Despite all his claims, Xiang Tzu is still not quite proficient with his new fighting style. This causes him to constantly trip and fall whenever he is trying to pull a difficult combo, to the point where he may even hit himself with his own weapon (he will take damage when this happens). There is a chance for him to cause a Head hit when tripping, increasing the damage to himself and giving the player an advantage.
