The black, white and gold backgrounds brought the audience into an ink painting on the scene and overwhelmed them with Chinese culture. Every movement of three martial art performers was accompanied with the special high-tech light effects, subverting the past forms of kungfu performances in our mind, and taking the audience to Jin Yong's martial art world.

In the martial world constructed by Mr. Jin Yong, the Shaolin school has been standing out for thousands of years. To satisfy the expectations of players and martial arts fans, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils created Shaolin school in the game.

"The world of martial arts without Shaolin school is incomplete.

Nowadays, Tencent is trying to express China's traditional culture in a way more imaginative and artistic, especially when facing the younger generation growing up in the Internet age. The expression should conform to the time so that traditional culture can be accepted and spread by these young people. The kungfu performance show combined the mobile game with martial arts in a more scientific and technological way, which helps the young generation to understand traditional martial arts culture, and to fall in love with it.
