Summary:
In a battle against alien invasion, Wu Sheng Dayu died. Before he died, he told his little beast apprentice Pulao to find the next successor of the Golden Hoop. The ignorant Pulao traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers but could not find his “right man” for the golden hoop. However, the golden hoop was accidentally snatched away from him by a wild monkey. The two accidentally ended at the academy where chosen ones are trained, and the monkey is named “Kong” by the founder. The good times did not last long, and the naughty monkey soon caused great trouble and was expelled from the school together with Pulao. On Earth, the two met Nova, a little girl who was preparing to go to Ruibo City alone to rescue her people and recognized Kong as the hero of salvation. Although Pulao and Kong were not perfect they were full of confidence, and they led Nuwa to start an unplanned rescue operation…
