With CHENG KANG LI`s invitation, the successor of the TAM`s, TAM CHUNG CHING, decided to participate in this contest. CHU KONG, the successor of the Five Style Fist and also the most probable Han representative, was very dissatisfied. On the contest day, CHING beat his enemies hard and won. He eventually met NGAU`s son, NGAU FEI, in the final. CHING was exhausted. He would have been lost if HEI did not give him a hand. Therefore, HEI suggested to arranging another day for the contest. CHING was hurt in the contest. He wanted his fellow, CHIU KIN, to represent the TAM`s to compete with FEI. KIN hesitated. CHING`s son, TAM TIN, was enlightened after being slapped by KONG`s daughter, CHU CHUN TUNG. He then realized the essence of the TAM`s Eleventh Kick.2Episode 2CHING presented in the Lion Dance and was nearly being assassinated. Fortunately, TIN arrived in time and made use of the TAM`s Eleventh Kick to help CHING. CHING could then balance himself. CHING decided to send TIN to participate in the contest. FEI guaranteed his life to NGAU that he must win. TUNG convinced TIN to marry her with sweet words. On the day of contest, FEI bribed KIN to put poison into TIN`s tea. During the contest, TIN had got the better hand of the situation in the first part. However, the poison started to bother TIN in the second part. TIN`s leg was hurt. KIN went to ask FEI for his money but he was in vain. KIN stole CHING`s money on TIN`s wedding day. KIN even hurt CHING and made the TAM`s house on fire. TIN tried to rescue CHING. CHING left a message to TIN. He asked him to pass the TAM`s Kick to a potential successor.3Episode 3TIN was very depressed since his father`s death. He earned a living by working as a worker. His sister, SUET, was selling dessert in the street. The TAM house had become TUNG`s dying workshop as TIN owed TUNG dowry. A cop, MA BUT PING, promised to check TIN for FEI so as to win FEI`s favour. TIN met LAW HEI who came form Hunan. LAM asked KONG to take care TIN. LAM arranged TIN and HEI to work at TUNG`s dying workshop. KONG pretended to visit TUNG, in fact, he intended to learn the TAM`s Kick secretly. However, his daughter, CHUN NAM, disclosed his plot. NAM wanted to represent KONG but was refused by KONG. NAM met Master LAU. FEI and LAU were enemies. NAM tempted FEI to the dying workshop so as to fight against him. However, FEI challenged KONG instead. Fortunately, TIN gave KONG advice. FEI withdrew. In fact, TIN had a talent for Kung Fu. FEI again asked PING to check TIN`s Kung Fu level.4Episode 4FEI told NAM that he could not date LAU`s daughter, YU MING, due to the conflict between the Han and the Manchus tribes. MING was so depressed that she died. NAM was very loyal to love; she thus had left a good impression on FEI. When SUET found out that TIN was working for TUNG, she blamed TIN. Some rascals bullied SUET. TIN intended to make use of the TAM`s Eleventh Kick to stop the rascals but was in vain. Fortunately, PING arrived in time and saved them. SUET understood TIN`s difficulty and did not force TIN to practice Kung Fu. PING and his father, FUNG MAN HON, misunderstood that HEI was a fugitive. They beat PING terribly. HEI therefore decided to learn Kung Fu from KONG. NAM again met FEI due to LAU. NAM and FEI blossomed love feeling on each other. NAM feared that her father would oppose her going out with FEI. A fugitive, pale BILL, intended to take revenge on HON. He mistakenly attacked PING……5Episode 5HON worried a lot for PING`s future. This made PING more eager to toady to FEI. Although HEI was very diligent in practicing Kung Fu, he did not know the essence. His fellows laughed at him. KONG succeeded in transforming the Five Style Fist into the TAM`s Kick. PING deliberately approached SUET so as to know about TIN`s progress. He even made SUET think that his kick was excellent so that TIN would recruit him to be his student. TIN saw that HEI`s kick was good during the fire. He selected him to be the TAM`s successor. However, HEI felt that TIN was a coward and looked down upon him. Moreover, he had already become KONG`s student. He thus refused TIN. TIN found that HEI`s way of practicing Kung Fu was inappropriate. TIN thus took the opportunity to teach HEI how to make use of his leg to handle the piece-goods. PING got to know the essence of TIN`s Kick from SUET. He then told FEI the details.6Episode 6HEI met SUET the first time. SUET helped HEI to treat his wound. She even bought HEI a new pair of shoes. HEI had a very good impression on SUET. However, he was very disappointed when he found out that SUET and PING were very close friends. HEI met PING who was flirting around with the prostitutes. He was very angry for SUET`s sake. HEI quarreled with PING. HEI made use of the TAM`s Kick to break PING`s sword. FEI demanded PING to check TIN closely. PING then got more close to SUET. SUET was very curious about PING`s motive. LAM learned that TIN had already found his successor. LAM reminded TIN to keep this a secret as TIN was defeated last time in a very suspicious way. FEI dated NAM. The relationship between the two improved. HEI saw that a Manchu, DUNG, bullied SUET. HEI again made use of the TAM`s Kick to beat DUNG. KONG nearly became the scapegoat……7Episode 7FEI challenged HEI. HEI lost. TIN blamed HEI who was too impatient. HEI found TIN a coward. HEI and TIN had a big quarrel. HEI intended to learn the TAM`s Kick by self-learning. TUNG blamed him who did not respect his teacher at all. HEI apologized to TIN after advised by a beggar. LAM persuaded the Emperor to bestow a yellow coat on the Han winner. He even announced that the TAM`s would participate in the coming contest. KONG was very dissatisfied. SUET took very good care of HEI. HEI liked SUET more. NAM wanted to refuse FEI. However, FEI tempted NAM to meet him at the lakeside. NAM could not control her emotion and accepted FEI. FEI wanted to see KONG. NAM refused FEI`s request with the excuse that KONG was busy in holding the `Kung Fu Contest`. TIN blamed SUET who was dating both HEI and PING simultaneously.8Episode 8KONG scolded NAM terribly when he found out that NAM and FEI were going out. NAM left home in a towering anger. This incident greatly affected the morale of the Five Style Fist School. Although KONG`s Kung Fu had greatly improved, he had become old and feeble for ten years. NAM did not want to see KONG hurt himself, she thus secretly practiced KONG`s fist so that she could represent KONG in the contest. HEI was also very diligent. However, he got stuck in the Tenth TAM`s Kick. TIN and his old maid, HA, then tried to irritate HEI with SUET and PING`s relationship. HEI was so jealous that he eventually completed the Tenth TAM`s Kick - `The Tiger Kick`. On the day of contest, NAM replaced KONG to participate in the contest. KONG and NAM eventually reconciled.9Episode 9HEI was very brave and aggressive during the contest. HEI confronted against NAM. NAM was so exhausted that she lost. HEI got the Yellow Coat. KONG and NAM compromised not to practice the Five Style Fist anymore. Although NAM had locked up the Fist Book, she had her own arrangement. HEI wanted to express his love to SUET. KONG went to TUNG`s dying workshop as most of his students had gone. KONG intended to match-make TUNG with a merchant, KWOK. TIN was very jealous and warned KONG. TIN again offended TUNG. He apologized to TUNG by performing lion dance. This incident had a very positive effect on their business. NAM bought FEI to see KONG. FEI tried his best to flatter TUNG and KONG. HO blamed FEI who did not concentrate in how to win in the contest. FEI promised to HO that he would not let him down.10Episode 10FEI ordered PING to poison HEI. He even indicated to PING that he would be in trouble if he did not follow his instruction. PING sent TIN the poisoned wine. PING was in a dilemma. SUET was vexed as HEI had expressed his love to her. She was so confused that she drank the poisoned wine. PING was very nervous. He tried hard to get the antidote to save SUET. SUET liked PING more but HEI was very sincere. She was in a dilemma. HEI eventually completed the Eleventh TAM`s Kick - `Hundred Rivers Concourse`. FEI again forced PING to put poison in TIN`s food. PING devised to make SUET hand over their food to KWAI, the guy who was selling pork. PING then arranged a thief, TSUEN, to take away the food and put poison in their food before sending it to the TAM`s. SUET met KWAI who was injured. SUET knew that there was something wrong.11Episode 11SUET hurried home and stopped her family to take those foods. It was PING who deliberately let SUET know the case. HEI went to see FEI angrily. FEI worried a lot as HEI`s Kick was very strong. FEI found out that HEI was a Manchu. He deliberately arranged his brother, SOT LO CHAT, to go to the capital. FEI intended to spoil the relationship between the HAN and the Manchu tribes. He disguised as a Han people and hurt the three. HEI found out his real identity from the mute beggar, SOT LO MAN. However, HEI insisted to participate in the contest so as not to let TIN and SUET down. On the day of contest, FEI disclosed HEI`s identity. However, the Emperor did not blame HEI. He even bestowed a title to HEI who would then responsible for mediating between the Han and Manchu tribes. However, all HAN people thought that HEI had betrayed them……12Episode 12PING offended FEI and by order of the Emperor, the property of PING`s family was confiscated. PING and his father lived a wandering life. They relied on the nine gold rings of the Nine-Ring Sword for a living. HEI begged the Emperor to abolish all unfair treatment applied to the Han tribe. HO wanted to stop HEI but FEI and NAM`s relationship made him very embarrassed. HO was angry with NAM. NAM was very considerable and generous. FEI loved NAM more. When SUET found out that PING was the one who tried to poison them, she drowned her sorrows in wine. HEI accompanied her. SUET and HEI stayed in a temple overnight. In order to accelerate the hatred between the Han tribe and the Manchu tribe, FEI assassinated CHAT on one hand, he killed Master HUNG with the TAM`s Kick on the other hand. Although the Emperor had ordered both sides to stop taking revenge on each other, all Han people believed that it was HEI`s deed.13Episode 13HEI was beaten by the public in HUNG`s funeral. SUET told everybody that HEI and her were in the temple the whole night. HEI was glad that SUET defended for him sacrificing her reputation. TUNG thought that TIN intended to leave the dying workshop. TUNG expressed her real feeling and wanted TIN to work for her forever. TIN knew about TUNG`s heart.

However, a mysterious person wearing black suit killed KIN.15Episode 15The Emperor was very angry to hear KIN`s death. He decided to hold another contest after one month. TUNG forced TIN to promise her not to fight any more. FEI knew that NAM was the mysterious killer. He was heart-broken. SUET and HA left home as TIN was reluctant to participate in the contest. TUNG knew TIN well. She demanded him to win the champion as her dowry. All are glad. PING asked the Medicine King to cure TIN`s wound. TUNG was ready to spend all her wealth to cure TIN. However, there was only fifty percent chance to cure TIN. Otherwise, TIN would die. TUNG did not allow TIN to take such medicine. NAM loved FEI deeply.

She told FEI that she planned to confess and died in his arm. FEI was heart-broken. He vented his anger upon HO. He even claimed that he would kill TIN and his friends for revenge. On the day of contest, FEI was always on the upper hand. It was because HEI had joined FEI. FEI again won in the contest.18Episode 18TIN and his friends fled to the Sky Dragon Temple to search for the way to complete the Twelfth TAM`s Kick. The monk in this temple knew nothing about Kung Fu. He only found a lot of footprints inside the temple. TIN practiced according to the footprints. HON went to ask the Medicine King to be the witness against FEI. SUET and PING did not have enough money to buy precious medicine. When HEI heard about the case, he scattered money on the ground. In order to save TUNG, SUET picked up the money. MAN was angry with HEI`s deed and rebuked him. HEI hesitated. All suggested PING to learn the TAM`s Kick. However, he was not good at it. SUET and PING were being persecuted when they went to pick HON and the Medicine King. When TIN was treating KONG`s wound, KONG had diverted his attention. Meanwhile, FEI arrived and intended to kill them all.19Episode 19When FEI was going to kill TIN, HEI helped TIN. Later, LAM arrived and rescued them.

PING made the excuse that he was not used to his strength. All believed in his words.20Episode 20FEI combined the Five Style Fist and the Cross Hand together and created a very powerful Kung Fu. On the contest day, FEI was very serious but PING was very relaxed. PING devised to make FEI hurt himself and PING won. In fact, it was only a trick. PING only made use of his IQ, but not Kung Fu, to win FEI. However, TIN still missed the Twelfth TAM`s Kick. He got hints from rope-skipping. TIN & TUNG and SUET & PING were going to get married soon. FEI arrived crazily. As FEI had broken TIN`s legs, TIN made use of his hands. TIN eventually enlightened and defeated FEI. In fact, the Twelfth TAM`s Kick was written clearly on the Kam Kong Bible. TIN could not realize the essence of the Twelfth TAM`s Kick all along was due to his rigid attachment to rules and norms.
