It is centered on the story of a boy called Chinmi who learns Kung Fu by fighting progressively more challenging foes.

He is talented in martial arts, and used to play with his pet monkey named Goku in the forests, giving him great agility.

Believing Chinmi is the one prophesied to become a great master of martial arts, Rōshi arranged for him to train at Dairin Temple.

Chinmi tasted true defeat for the first time against Oudow, but later the old Master/Roushi told him the secret of Dairin Temple's forbidden move: the Thunder God Fist (雷神拳, Raijin Ken), one that could instantly kill the victim.

After reacquainting with his students, Chinmi was thrust into the next saga where he fought the Wind Wolves army of horsemen (Fictional race based on the nomadic Mongolian and Manchurian tribes), who set their sights on Gunte's hometown.

As the tournament begins, Chinmi was reunited with Shii Fan, but it turns out that he was brainwashed by an assassin who plotted to use him to kill the Emperor.

Chinmi and Pu Shin barely escapes a group of border guards and the Ka Nan commander, General Boru, and falls into the river.

They are rescued by fishermen Bolo and Kiri, and learn that two years ago, cruel businessman Jirai usurped the throne and killed the royal family.

Fearing rebellion, Jirai ordered the temple closed, banned freedom of assembly, weapons, or martial arts in Ka Nan.

Refusing to submit to tyranny, Kourin Temple made a stand against the Ka Nan military.. only to be utterly defeated and their head monk killed.

Chinmi joined a rebellion led by Ho Jun, the former princess and sole survivor of the previous royal family.

They discovered that Jirai runs a secret cannon factory using the Ka Nan people as slave labor.

As they infiltrate the palace, Soubi appears and duels Chinmi alone, while Ho Jun and the others fight their way into Jirai's suite.

After a brief standoff, the riot resumes after Boru leaves for the palace and a group of prisoners led by Sho-Tan make a surprise attack using gunpowder barrels.

Jirai then escapes through a secret tunnel that leads to a river with Ho Jun in pursuit, while Chinmi reengaged Boru.

After a long rehabilitation, Chinmi returns home to Dairin Temple with Ryukai as Ho Jun and the grateful Ka Nan citizenry bids farewell.

The emperor has suspected that there were men with ulterior motives to overthrow Admiral Zuiun, his closest military advisor, in order to gain authority in the navy.

The plan is for Kaion's fleet to destroy Chao Liu's in a staged ambush as it passes a bottleneck of reefs, and the new recruits will be killed in the cross fire to eliminate any witnesses.

Against all odds, including an encounter with a shark, Chinmi managed to get to shore and trek back to the flagship just in time as the Kaion's and Chao Liu's fleets engage.

As the flagship started to sink, the ship's main mast hits Kaion from the back, killing him, and his body fell to the sea.

In the second saga, Chinmi helps save his love interest Yan from a flash flood that hits the nearby town.

[32] After a lengthy chase, Chinmi and his apprentice Gunte finds the princess taken captive by bandit warlord Zeigan of the Mualong region, and held prisoner in his castle.

[41] The team intercepts the princess but she is taken captive again by a pair of two men, dubbed the "Pendulum Spider", due to their swinging technique.

And if Chinmi won, Gantei, the leader of an illegal narcotics trade operation running without Zeigan's permission, would be defeated, cleaning up his region.

[55] The princess decides to continue to journey towards the capital of China, to meet with the Chinese Emperor despite losing the gifts they carried for him.

[62] The Chinese Emperor personally nominates Chinmi for the country's Outstanding Contribution Award, citing his various significant victories during the past years.

Army General Ourin and a group of soldiers arrive at Dairin Temple to present Chinmi with the award.

Being smitten with Chinmi in the previous story, the General's young daughter Renka covertly follows her father to Dairin Temple.

Torrential rain prevents movement within the town, and the local village chief notices that the river is draining instead of swelling.

Chinmi plunges deep into the river waters with Yan and miraculously find themselves in a boat stuck on the riverbed, which they use to rise to the surface.
