This was the old man's story. The Changchun Academy was the most famous karate school in the whole of Northern China, from where the karate masters taught their students from the sacred karate scrolls. Then one night, a disgraced former pupil, the evil Wang Chen and his army, slaughtered the Karate Masters and their pupils. Only Lo Yin survived, as he was studying the sacred scrolls at the time and managed to take them with him when he escaped. Lo Yin knew that Wang Chen would not rest until he had the scrolls and he was right. Wang dispatched his finest warriors to bring back the scrolls. After many legendary fights, Lo reached Shanghai where he entrusted the scrolls to his old friend Derek who brought them safely to Slough where they remain to this day. According to the story, Lo was lured into a dragon temple and was never seen again. THE GAME You take on the role of Lo Yin, in his epic journey from Changchun to Shanghai.
