Kung Lao Guide & Overview

Born and raised in the village of Fengjian, Kung Lao has spent his life toiling in the fields. It has been an honorable life, if not a glorious one.
Kung Lao's greatest fear is that his life will amount to nothing. He prays fervently that he will be called to do something bigger.
His prayers are answered when he is asked to join the champions of Earthrealm. As a warrior fighting for its honor, Kung Lao knows that his victories will be long remembered.
