Ip confronts Hung, who blames him for the recent events since he refused to pay, while Ip criticizes Hung's management of his students and subservience to the foreigners. Ip is thus forced by his landlady to leave the property he leased for his school the disciples resort to training in the local park. In response, Hung has his students deliberately loiter in front of the Wing Chun school and harass prospective students, resulting in a street brawl between them and Ip's disciples.

Ip introduces himself, and Hung informs him that before setting up a school, he needs to take part in a special ceremony to test his worth. The students' master and head of the coalition of Hong Kong's martial arts clubs, Hung Chun-nam, arrives to break up the fight. Fighting their way outside and hopelessly outnumbered, Ip and Wong are rescued by Jin Shanzhao, a martial artist, former bandit, and ex-rival of Ip, who comes to their aid with his own gang. Ip goes to the local wet market as directed, but the meeting ends in a confrontation with a growing mob of Hung Ga students. One of them, Kei, challenges Wong to a fight and loses, but his vengeful friends take Wong hostage and demand a ransom from Ip. Wong is later confronted by some thuggish Hung Ga students while posting promotional posters for Ip's school. Stunned and impressed by Ip's skills, Wong and his friends become Ip's first students, bringing more disciples to help the school thrive. Wong storms off and brings a gang of his friends to take revenge, but Ip easily beats them as well. One day, a young man named Wong Shun Leung appears and promptly challenges Ip to a fight, but is easily defeated.
