As the genetic battles come to an end and society is born, The Apes now rule the populace, orangutans, and gorillas the strong high society, the lowly monkeys and baboons now slaves, and workers that server the upper class.
Religion, monarchy, and celestial order now rule the monkeys as their society forms.
In the Kingdom of Goryu there is ambition to overcome the other kingdoms and warlike societies are formed. Crime is rampant in the streets, villages, and mountain passes, as poverty drives people to steal and rob, instead of working for their wares.
A Taoist religious temple 'œshaolin' has formed in the countryside, developing martial arts for years, to protect supply lines and the priests message to the populace.
Many apes train in the many martial arts systems formed, many monkey servants enjoy serving them in the safety of the temple, not much is known outside of the temple walls, except for the traveling priests, and warrior monks.
Years of preparation, studies, and training, all come to a head for Fengbao Chuanjiàoshì. He is in the greatest physical shape of his life, his mind a calm storm. The callused wrists and scars on his body from years of brutal training are nothing to him. Only the task at hand haunts his mind.
His teacher, and adopted father Zange Chen, a warrior monk of the order, has groomed him for years for this moment'¦ the moment a Monkey could progress as far as an ape. Lowly monkeys were never trained in combat martial arts, as one strike from a mighty ape could end their lives.
Zange saw something in in Feng, his speed and prowess impressed the old master, Ever since Feng was orphaned by a Soldier of the empire with a simple strike to his parents, he felt for the young Monkey. Most apes did not care for monkeys, ignoring their intellect, admonishing their personalities, they were nothing but servant animals in the apes minds, But Zange saw something different, perhaps it was his love for his adopted servant turned son, or his years of martial arts saw a weakness that all apes have. slow speed .
Zange taught Feng for years, many behind closed doors, and even gave him a name that only apes would have. He taught him in a way that used his speed and agility not his power, something even the old master could not match the young monkey. He developed a unique system of fighting just for feng, to give him an edge.
But that was the past now was the future, Zange had arranged for a lowly monkey (feng) to attempt the 4 tests of a true Shaolin priest. Many Apes disagreed with the old master, but humored his decision just to prove once again that monkeys are nothing but servants.
Feng sits waiting, calming his 'œstorm' preparing for his tests.
Zange enters the room towering above the small Feng, he does not smile, no emotion on his old face.
'œare you ready?'
