He Dahai, the head of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Hall, led his disciple Tie Zhu and others to cause trouble. Dongfang Xu was forced to engage and pretended to be defeated. Shenquan Li, a traveling doctor who was watching nearby, noticed that Dongfang Xu possessed extraordinary martial arts skills and had intentionally left an opening to lose to He Dahai. He Dahai was somewhat moved by Dongfang Xu's profound martial arts and his repeated restraint. Zhao Yanwang, a wealthy landlord from Jinghai, demanded a bodyguard from the Shenzhou Martial Arts Hall through the Police Department. He Dahai sternly reiterated the martial arts hall's rule of not providing security for the rich, but recommended Dongfang Xu for the job. To avoid this duty, Dongfang Xu broke his own arm to refuse. When He Dahai learned of this, he immediately felt deep respect for Dongfang Xu. At a marketplace, Shenquan Li and Dongfang Xu recognized each other. It turned out that Shenquan Li was the junior fellow disciple of Dongfang Xu's father-in-law, Gao Haimin—a master of Cangzhou Bagua Zhang.

Niu Wu, a bodyguard for the Green Jewel Foreign Firm, led a band and carried a huge advertisement depicting the strongman defeating another boxer, parading ostentatiously through the streets. He Dahai smashed the advertisement, severely beat Niu Wu, and declared he would take the platform to compete against the strongman. All of this gave Dongfang Xu a new understanding of He Dahai. In the first challenge match, He Dahai soundly defeated Dadrov's assistant, Biqika. However, He Dahai was ambushed by Niu Wu on his way back to the martial arts hall. Upon learning this, Dongfang Xu rushed to the hospital to visit He Dahai. They expressed mutual admiration and cleared up their past grievances. He Dahai voluntarily stepped aside and asked Dongfang Xu to take over as head of the Shenzhou Martial Arts Hall, which Dongfang Xu generously accepted. When Dongfang Xu arrived at the hall, he dissuaded the disciples who were planning to raid the foreign firm and had Niu Wu arrested and sent to the Police Department. However, due to the collusion between Police Chief Duan Yaozong and comprador Liang Shouren, Niu Wu
