Synopsis
Set in early 20th-century China, the series follows Chen Zhen, who moves to Shanghai with his sister after their hometown is destroyed. Shanghai's martial artists' community is divided, while Huo Yuanjia of the Jingwu School seeks unity to resist foreign influence.
After briefly joining the notorious Green Gang and leaving following his sister's death, Chen joins Jingwu School and trains under Huo. He becomes romantically involved with Yumi, the daughter of Japanese consul Takeda Yukio, amidst rising anti-Japanese sentiment among the Chinese. Takeda, secretly leading the Black Dragon Society, has Huo poisoned, leading to his death during a lei tai match.
Chen continues resisting Japanese aggression after Jingwu School is destroyed. He later uncovers Takeda's plan to release a biological weapon, defeats Takeda, who commits suicide, and Yumi dies from her injuries. In the final scene, Chen faces arrest and charges towards surrounding soldiers as they open fire.
