This allows him to push himself beyond the limitations of his humanity to varying levels.
Chi can be used in a variety of ways, depending on Shang-Chi's level of focus and harmony. He is capable of entering a trancelike state which allows him to ignore pain. He is also capable of using it to resist the effects of toxins, drugs or even poisons. He has even been able to use Chi to detect others or hide himself from detection.
