Synopsis
In 1936, the martial arts circle in Foshan was in upheaval. Gong Yutian, a grand martial arts master of Bagua boxing, is old in years and announces his retirement. His heir of the president of the Chinese Martial Art Association naturally attracts the desire of various martial arts masters. In Gong Yutian’s mind, he would pass it on to Ye Wen, but the attempt is obstructed by his own daughter Gong Er, as well as Ma San, Ding Lianshan, and other masters. However, the fate of all the masters is closely tied to the chaotic time they are in.
