Don't take it off until I say so.

Jump.

Don't stop jumping.

Have you just been making fire all along?

Not really.

What then? Cooking people for eating!

Can you get out of my way?

You're so unreasonable.

Nothing is with reason here anyway

He's not learning anything here.

Don't care about him.

If you don't keep stirring,

you'll be hit if the congee gets burnt

Even masters and Shaolin monks

everybody got hit before, really

Master, I'm having a hard time here,

can you please help me out?

The congee is burnt!

Keep turning the pages, don't be lazy.

Turn

Jump

Master, I won't be lazy again...

Don't give me a hand

oh my, I won't be lazy again!

Look, am I doing it right

Brother Wu, how do you do the crane styIe?

What martiaI art should we learn here?

Great Master knows our potential...

and strong points, you shouldn't ask me

I should learn the Tiger and crane style.

Is it wrong to ask again?

The rule says we can't teach each other

You're not a good pal...

In the garden over there,

Hu Dedi, Cai Dezhong, the 6 guys,

They're practicing there, let's see..

Let's go.

I can't feel my legs anymore.

Are you still going?

It's the same for me, look..

You're just drying books, how come?

I think we're still gaining something.

What are you guys doing here?

Go on

What are you doing/

Don't you want to do martial arts/

I'll continue to practise.

What's the matter here?

Brother Ma, this is the Tiger style

Don't under estimate it.

Come on.

Stop.

We can do it again if you want.

I'll definitely come

Admitted that Fang Shi Yu can't beat you

someday, you might not be his match

Good, I'll look forward to that day.

You be careful.

Let's go.

Master, every night at this hour,

you'll come and teach me?

I don't care about him.

I'll be waiting here anyway.

I almost learnt body-lifting.

Where is Lin Guangyao

Maybe he left after he was through

Get down.

Your Majesty

Gu Beizi

General Shin, how are you?

I'm good.

It must be tough for you in Shaolin.

It's an honor

to work for the king and you.

The king hates Shaolin temple.

I've heard, since lastyear,

they took in lots of outsider students.

The king was angry when he heard.

Yes.

Since last year, lots of outsiders got in.

Even now,there's a group every month.

about 10 to 18 people.

These outsiders, are they good?

All of them are strictly chosen,

If I want to get rid of Shaolin temple,

what do you think I should do?

For all these years,

I've been thinking about this matter.

Shaolin has a good foundation

We almost got the whole world

why can't we defeat Shaoin temple?

Gathering the soIdiers isn't a bad idea,

but maybe among the monk apprentices,

we should have spies.

Also, utilize my status in the temple

to go against the smarter ones.

I think it'll be easier that way.

You've been in Shaolin for a long time

I really long to see Shaolin martiaI arts

You want to test my ability?

No, I wouldn't dare to

Shaolin martial art is great,

we have to cleanse them thoroughly.

May I be excused

Come and see me whenever there's chance.

Stop there.

Don't chase.

Even if you get there, you won't win.

He'll kill if he's forced.

May I ask who are you?

You two were monk apprentices before

Yes, I'm Hu Dedi.

This is my best friend Cai Dezhong.

I'm Wu Mei

Master Wu Mei

Great Master asked me...

to practise here till the right time.

Seeing you tonight is indeed a sign

What do you usually practise?

I practise 3-sectioned staff.

I practise fists.

I'II teach you fist and whip set

But after you've learnt it,

you have to work for me.

Thank you, master.

What can I do for you

I only had 2 female students all my life

Miao Zuehua and Yan Yongchuan

Miao has followed me for a long time.

Her husband was

killed by one of WuDang's men

They have a son, Fang Shiyu

I've heard he is in the temple now.

That's right

The ruIes of Shaolin temple are strict.

He's urging to take revenge,

if he disobeys the rules in Shaolin,

please help him out.

Yes, we will.

Yan Yongchuen is my new student.

Before I can teach her anything,

I was asked to come here.

Yan Yongchuen is my good friend.

Good. There wiII be damnation.

Maybe I can't see you after that.

After you leave the temple,

you must teach this fist set...

to Yan Yongchuen.

Yes, master.

This fist set is designed for girls.

It's emphasis is on close attack,

and can hurt people at close range.

Even on a small table,

they can see who's the winner.

once your enemy gets close,

they can't win over you.

Zhu Dao

I have something to tell you. Come.

Yes.

Master, how can I go up without stairs

Can't you just jump up

Jump

I don't know whether I can make it.

Master, I...

Your body-lifting has got foundation.

Keep practicing

till you don't leave any marks on the books

Just put in more force,

you can easily jump to the top.

Come, let's go and see Lin Guangrau

Master, you mean I'm better than...

He can't win you even with out the iron

Winners can't win everything,

losers won't lose it all. Got it

Yes, I understand.

Crane style

I'll challenge Ma Fuyi again today.

Certainly beat him this time

The shadow on the wall last night,

showed me the whole Tiger-crane style

It's too bad I never know

which master he is

I think you guys are better than me.

They're adding more iron on Lin's leg

Zhu Dao is even better,

his body-lifting is getting higher

There's no need to talk about Wu Heigan.

You've learnt the Tiger-crane style

It's only me,

I've only cooked for a whole year...

and learnt nothing.

Even if I'm bad, that's enough punishment

You came again, not afraid of being hit

How many times have you been hit?

Not too much, only once amonth.

just 17 or 18 times.

Good, once more tonight.

I'll be hit again.

Stop.

Master.

It's just testing skills, why hit so hard?

Hard, that's nothing.

That's nothing

Yes, I was hit 17 or 18 times,

everytime is like this.

It's only his first time.

Fang Shiyu, who allows you to misbehave

Me, misbehave

I fight with him every month,

many people know.

Get out! If I see it again,

you'll be hit and be kicked out of here.

MaFuyi,

I've been watching you.

Follow me.

Yes.

I'm thinking that...

MaFuyi is sneaky.

It's strange that Master Heixien...

favors him a lot.

Master Heixie

You said we should follow the flow

Though Shaolin's foundation is strong,

still hard to

fight the Qing troops, right

Master.

I just need to speak it out.

I think you're not used to the life here,

you aspire a luxurious life style, right?

Good.

There is luxury in front of you,

only if you'll do what I say.

Master.

Don't tell this to anyone.

Come here whenever there's a chance,

I'II teach you alone.

Yes.

The last step is called ''Flying Dragon''

Good. Dezhong's fist set is ready.

After it's passed onto Yan Yongchuen,

let's hope she promotes it.

She's smart. She won't disappoint you.

They just told me

about Master Heixien and Ma Fuyi.

I want some advice from you.
