    Isn't this just traditional martial arts? There are no great heroes who serve their country and people. There are no Ming Dynasty imperial guards, no talk of the common people. There are no epic battles between the Song, Jin, and Liao dynasties. In short, it's all about action! Honestly practice martial arts, honestly make friends, honestly make money, honestly become the overlord of the martial arts world.
