Summary:
The protagonist "Qi Xiaotian" is a young man who is fascinated by the ancient legend "Journey to the West". He dreams of becoming a great mythical hero like Sun Wukong. By chance, he found the golden hoop on the top of the mountain. A long time ago, in order to permanently imprison the Bull Demon King in the mountain, Sun Wukong had inserted it on the top of the mountain as a seal. Because the golden hoop was pulled out and the seal was lifted, the Bull Demon King was able to return to the world to do evil, and Qi Xiaotian must embark on a journey full of difficulties and obstacles, reshape himself in the battle with the devil, and become a new generation of mythical hero. The challenges that Qi Xiaotian has to face are not only the burden of maintaining peace, but also the troubles of super powers that are hard-earned but not easy to control. In such a future high-tech world, in order to defeat the demons that threaten humanity, he needs to constantly explore new directions and paths.
Fortunately, he is not alone but has friends to accompany him:
Long Xiaojiao - a member of the legendary Dragon King family who speaks very fast and is Qi Xiaotian's strong backer;
Chef Zhu - as an experienced chef and noodle shop owner, although he is loud and rude, he always lends a hand whenever Qi Xiaotian is in danger;
Sha Dali - a pacifist with a strong body and infinite strength who loves tea. He used to be an excellent fighter, but now he only cares about how to live out his life in peace. Of course, everyone should not harass his cute kitten, otherwise the former majestic fighter will reappear before his eyes;
Master Tang - he is extremely wise but loves to take advantage of small things. He always wants to eat noodles for free, which gives Chef Zhu a headache. His brain is a treasure trove of knowledge about Sun Wukong, and he is also an expert in various ancient myths and legends, which makes him an indispensable think tank for Qi Xiaotian and his partners;
The last one that cannot be missing is of course - Sun Wukong! He chose Qi Xiaotian as the successor of his legendary career, and appeared by the latter's side from time to time, guiding the inexperienced teenager to work hard towards his dream.
Against Qi Xiaotian and his companions are a group of villains who have mastered evil future technology. And this is the moment for Qi Xiaotian to stand up and defeat the evil forces and become a new generation of hero. This is the era of Monkie Kid!
