Milestones unfold as the Buddha Palm meets the Snake Fist for the first time. Shaolin and Wu‑Tang monks unite against the villainous White‑Haired Priest, employing the five elemental kung‑fu principles. Their clash births the future Tai Chi Chuan, created by Chang Shen Fong. Audiences glimpse authentic training—such as the wooden‑men hall—and witness the combined might of the Shaolin monks, the Three Snake Fists, the lethal Black Palm Poison and other rare styles, and the treasured Wu jewels.
