bullied and branded "Sick man of the East"

But no one could stand up to it

The Shanghai Foreign Chamber of Commerce organised

a fight between the invaders and its people.

an attempt to rally their morale...

It was then that he surfaced...

And his name is Huo YuanJia

"1910, Shanghai"

"Theater Biarya, French territory"

The arena...

Today, we have four representatives from the

Shanghai Foreign Business Associates

And they will be challenging Huo Yuan Jia

The rules for this competition are

The outcome will be determined

by either a knockout or surrender

"30 years ago, household of the Huo family in Tian Jin"

Young master!

Come on, let's go now

Stop!

How dare you!

Who let you in?

I came to bring you some tea, father

How many times have I told you?

Never to come in here again

Go back and practise writing

Continue!

Damn, why do I have to cheat for you

If your Father ever get to know about this

You will be beaten till you are a pauper!

Nobody will know if we keep this secret

Hey, I want to show you something... Let's go!

Nong Jing Soon, hurry up!

- I'm coming

Why are they fighting again?

They're beating the drums again!

Today, Huo En Di from the family of Huo

And Zhao Zhong Qiang from the family of Zhao

Will pit their skills against each other on this stage

Sure! Good!

What the hell are you two doing? Courting death?

Your Father is going to lose today, for sure!

You just watch!

Your Father's going to get a taste of the Huo fist

The Life and Death agreement has been signed

Victory or defeat is decided amongst men

Life and death is decided by God

Masters! The competition shall begin!

Zhao Jian, your father now should realize

the real strength of our Huo's fist?

And today's winner is...

Zhao ZhongQiang

Thank you, thank you so much!

YuanJia, YuanJia...

Let's go, YuanJia

YuanJia, let's go back

YuanJia...

Weren't you the brave lad just now

What's with you? Don't shy away like a rat

Come on, get up!

Stop your arrogance, ZhaoJian!

Shut up! you're useless

the same goes to your family

Fight with me if you have the courage!

I want to show you the prowess of Zhao fist

Get on stage now!

Stop fighting, YuanJia!

Stop now!

Yeah! You've won!

Now that you've had a taste of Zhao fist

Don't ever mention your puny Huo fist again

I've won!

YuanJia...

Get up, YuanJia

Let's go now

I swear! Huo YuanJia won't be beaten

by anybody again

Master, you...

Let me apply some medicine for you

Lai Fook, leave us

- Yes

What happened? Angry?

Mum, why won't Father let me learn martial arts?

This is because he loves you

You were born with asthma

...and you're weak

so you can't take the vigorous training

Isn't learning martial arts able to strengthen the body?

Your desire to learn martial arts

Is it purely to strengthen your body?

No, I want revenge!

I want Zhao Jian to know the prowess of our family

Child, the most powerful aspect of martial arts

is not to defeat others

But to control your own desires

Virtue and morality must not be forgotten

martial arts is to strengthen the body and to aid the needy

Not to go out causing trouble un-necessarily

and definitely not for revenge

Emm

The way to interact between man

is to respect each other

Then others will respect you in return

Who dares to dis-respect the strongest?

For people to fear you and to respect you

are two completely different things...

You've got to finish those homework

otherwise, your Father will reprimand you again

"Death fist stance"

I've won!

Come on, fly, fly now!

Oh, oh

You gonna fall! fall fall...

I won't fall! I won't fall!

Then I'll hit you down...

I won't fall

Come on, again come on!

I won't fall

Just move faster!

Oh

Be careful

Good morning, Mom

- Yuen Jia, you did not take your medicine again

Ever since I start having my training at West Lake,

my asthma hasn't relapsed

Wait for me, young mistress

Just look at your child

Without a mother's care since young,

you have spoilt her

You should marry again

so that someone can help you take good care of her

I have been busy, building our family name

I want everyone here in Tian Jin to know and respect our family

How would I have the time to remarry?

Come catch me, I want to go out with you, Father

Even though you have never been defeated all this while

Your real opponent is yourself

And what you really must conquer is yourself.

- I understood.

"A Challenge Request"

Master...

All right

You have a good rest, Mom

Father, your fist was neither fast nor firm

But don't you worry, cos I will make sure

the Huos will not be defeated again

"Live and death agreements"

I definintely will become No 1 in Tian Jin

Father!

- My little Chui...

For me?

No, I can't

- Let me have it, will you?

No, I will not

Then, what do I have to do to have it?

- You can only have it after your victory today

Really?

- Emm

Is that a promise?

"1900, Tian Jin"

We're counting on you, Master Huo!
