Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


The films depict the adventures of Linghu Chong, a disciple of the Huashan Sect, when he tries to disengage himself from the politics and violent power struggles that occur frequently in the martial artists' world (Or Jianghu), with little success. The {{MacGuffin}} involved is the Sunflower Manual (Kuihua Baodian), a martial arts manual which allows one who mastered its skills to become the most formidable martial artist and [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority by extension, dominate the Jianghu]]. While Linghu Chong and his companions had little interest in the manual, many other martial artists do not think the same way, and Linghu Chong gets himself entangled in their politics.
