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 Dongfang 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 Dongfang 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 Huchong, encounters the enemy and loses all of his martial skills during the attack.
