When Huo Yuanjia (played by Jet Li) was young, he defeated the little bully who challenged him with his immature Huo family boxing, which greatly increased his confidence in martial arts. With his understanding and passion for martial arts, his martial arts foundation became increasingly solid, and he became a famous martial artist in Tianjin. However, his temperament gradually became impetuous and arrogant, and he became more and more brave and aggressive. After learning that his apprentice was severely injured by another master in Tianjin, Qin Ye, Huo Yuanjia broke into Qin Ye's birthday banquet without asking the reason, and forced him to sign a life and death agreement on the spot to compete with him. Although he won in the end, he lost the lives of his beloved mother and daughter. After making a big mistake, Huo Yuanjia, who was in great pain, went away in a state of confusion. Later, with the careful care of Grandma Sun, a villager in a remote village, and her blind granddaughter Yueci (played by Sun Li), Huo Yuanjia recovered his spirit and began to understand the true meaning of martial arts.
