"Only two warriors remain unbeaten. Only one shall be victorious. Only one shall win the right to face the dragon known as Shou-Lao."
Yü-Ti[src]

The Duel of K'un-Lun was the ceremonial challenge organized by Order of the Crane Mother in order to decide who will be sent to the Cave of the Dragon to face Shou-Lao.

Background

"When I got to the monastery, post-crash. I learned of a certain position. A powerful, important job, and I wanted it."
Danny Rand to Joy Meachum[src]

During Danny Rand's time as a student in K'un-Lun, he eventually learned of the position of the Iron Fist, a title of considerable power and great importance throughout the realm, passed down through generals of the Order of the Crane Mother and tasked with protecting K'un-Lun from their sworn enemies, the Hand. Rand grew ambitious and set out to prove himself a worthy enough warrior of gaining the power of the Iron Fist, competing with several other students, including Davos, onto reach his goal of gaining this power. Despite many of the monks there believing that Rand being an outsider made him incapable of earning the title, Rand's determination grew further.[1] Years later, both Rand and Davos were ready for the trials to become the Iron Fist. Rand competed against many of his fellow students, until only he and Davos were the only candidates left.[2]

Rand told his friend that the trial was not what he thought it was, while Davos told Rand that it wasn't what any of them thought. He reminded Rand that he had a duty now, but Davos promised he would be by his side, guarding K'un-Lun.[4]
