While in Japan, Chi-yun uses a fake message to lead Gingka Hagane, the famous winner of "Battle Bladers" and his follower Masamune Kadoya into a trap, forcing them into a tag-team match against he and Mei-Mei. He and Mei-Mei battle Masamune and Gingka, who clearly don't get along well, especially in battle. Chi-yun displays overwhelming strength but in a stroke of luck for Gingka and Masmune, Mei-Mei is knocked from the ring, costing Chi-yun their match. Chi-yun wishes them good luck, after for warning them about the World Championships, which they were oblivious to.

While remaining in Japan, Chi-yun and Mei-Mei decide to view the Japanese selection matches from the crowd. Chi-yun takes particular interest in the match between Tsubasa Otori and Kyoya Tategami, feeling that they both fought their strongest. After the selections are over and the Japanese team is decided, Chi-yun returns to China with Mei-Mei. As if fate had deemed it necessary, in the first round of the tournament, Team Wang Hu Zhong of China was to face GanGan Galaxy of Japan.

When Gingka and his team arrived, Chi-yun, Mei-Mei and their leader Dashan Wang are there to greet them. They take the Bladers on a tour around their honorable Beylin Temple, where Gingka and Masamune are eager to train. Dashan allows them to and once they finish he challenges Gingka to a battle, nearly defeating him if not for Masamune. Curious, Team GanGan Galaxy asks of Wang Hu Zhongs third man, Chi-yun describes him as cocky and dishonorable as he refuses to train at Beylin, the Blader being Chao Xin.

Unlike Chao Xin and Dashan who battle, Chi-yun maintains his training until the matchup between China and Japan begin. In the first round, Masamune Kadoya of Japan defeats Wang Hu Zhong's Chao Xin in an upset. Feeling that he now has to carry his team, Chi-yun prepares to battle Tsubasa Otori. After proper preparation, he battles Tsubasa, first being disappointed by Tsubasa's lack of drive and wanting to see what he did when he fought Kyoya. His taunting caused Tsubasa to be pushed to the edge and to Chi-yun's surprise, Tsubasa uses a mysterious dark power to overwhelm Chi-yun's Thermal Lacerta, but ultimatley self destructs giving Chi-yun the win.

Supporting a New Legacy
Putting their faith in their leader Dashan, Team Wang Hu Zhong pressure's Gingka and Dashan in the final match. Gingka appears to be no match for 8000 Years of Legacy, he uses the power of his teams faith to overpower Dashan into defeat. Disappointed yet grateful, Team Wang Hu Zhong hopes to create a new Legacy for themselves in the future, befriending Team GanGan Galaxy as they leave to continue their journey. But Wang Hu Zhong does not give up there, before the Semi-Finals Wang Hu Zhong discovered that there is a consolation tournament where in victory, they can re-enter the tournament.

After gaining wind of GanGan Galaxy's defeat at the festival of Warriors, Wang Hu Zhong heads to Europe where they meet up with their struggling rivals.

Dashan and Chao Xin facing Gingka and Masamune while Chi-yun and Mei-Mei face Tsubasa and Yu Tendo. Chi-yun and Mei-Mei battle fiercely and easily overpowers the struggling tag team of Yu and Tsubasa, but after Team GanGan Galaxy find their strength, both matches end in a tie. Both teams bid each other good luck in the next round, as Wang Hu Zhong heads into the consolation tournament to reclaim their spot in the tournament.

Wang Hu Zhong are successful in winning the Wild Card spot in Big Bang Bladers and are set to battle the European Team Excalibur. In the first round, Mei-Mei and Chao Xin are dominated by Julian Konzern's twin jewels, Sophie and Wales. Once again the pressure of the tournament is put on Chi-yun's shoulders where he must face Klaus. Chi-yun battles truly hard as he wishes to win as thanks to Dashan, trying to create his own Legacy. Unfortunately, Klaus is simply too powerful and dominates Chi-yun's Lacerta into defeat, once again eliminating Team Wang Hu Zhong from the tournament. Highly disappointed, Chi-yun is reassured by Dashan that there is no worries, and that their legacy will continue no matter what.

Team Wang Hu Zhong decides to route for their friends in GanGan Galaxy as they go on towards victory.
