Pop.
A chess piece falls onto the board.
On the cruise ship, two elderly men from the Jin City National Martial Arts Research Association are engaging in a game of chess.
These two elders are towering figures in the national martial arts world, their strength has reached the level of quasi-grandmasters.
The elder on the left has silvery white hair and wears a Tang suit, yet his eyes are bright and sharp, even more so than those of many young people.
The elder with silvery white hair is the current sect leader of the Xingyi Sect and also a director of the National Martial Arts Research Association, Hua Jiufeng.
Opposite him is another elder, bald and shiny, rotund like a Maitreya Buddha, his squinted eyes showing a smile.
This bald elder's identity is equally significant; he is Zhang Wunian, a successor of Wudang Tai Chi, known by his Daoist name Cang Yun.
