Synopsis

“I got chased three streets for stealing a chicken, then accidentally picked up half a copy of the Smiling Heart Manual. Who says martial artists have to suffer and brood? I just smile, and my inner power can break through the heavens!” Hu Sannao, a rascal from Qinghe Town, sets off to roam the martial world with half a rusty woodcutter’s knife, his strong childhood friend with a permanent frown, a former constable who loves to argue, a spoiled rich girl who’s hopeless at fighting, and a hotheaded young fool who thinks a piece of iron is a treasured blade. Other people cultivate by meditating. He tells jokes. Other people fight with divine weapons. He wins with trash talk and bickering. While others explore secret realms for manuals, he’s busy mooching travel money and stealing roast chicken, then using his Chicken-and-Dog Chaos Fist to beat the disciples of famous sects so badly they question their lives. The second-in-command of Blackwind Stronghold is henpecked? He’ll help him hide his private stash to pay for their travels. The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets is scheming? One joke makes him laugh so hard he gives up. The Martial Alliance Leader is putting on airs? Hu argues with him until he questions his whole life! Who says a nobody from the streets can’t become the supreme martial artist? Hu Sannao proves it: the crazier you laugh, the harder you hit; the more shameless you are, the better you live! Watch this quick-witted rascal use a hilarious martial arts manual to turn his life around, laughing all the way as he throws the entire martial world into chaos, until he becomes the person everyone loves and hates: the Supreme of the Martial World!
