Synopsis
This story incorporates the themes of modern Wuxia (Chinese martial arts).
In the world of martial arts, there have been legends of many powerful warriors. The strongest to ever walk the Earth are West Side Principal, Chou Da Tong, Tian Shan Tong Lao, and the villain Tong Fang Bu Bai, who engaged in a sex change in order to enhance his martial arts skills.
Right now, the four martial arts schools and the world are facing the danger posed by Tong Fang Bu Bai. The principal of West Side School gathers the best students from all four schools in hopes to train them into powerful warriors so they can fight against the enemy and restore peace to the world.
On one occasion, their best student, Ling Hu Cong, encounters the enemy and loses all of his martial skills during the attack. Furthermore, his girlfriend has a change of heart after spending time with the kind-hearted student, Kuo Ching. Ling Hu Cong's cuckolding becomes a distraction and prevents everyone on the team to focus.[1]
