   Genres: Action Adventure Comedy Martial Arts Shounen Slice of Life   
      
   Chinmi is a young Chinese boy devoted to martial arts training. Word of   
   his skill reaches the kung-fu masters at the famous Dailin temple who   
   invite him to study with them. Through his own dedication and the   
   guidance of his teachers, Chinmi becomes one of the top students at the   
   temple. Eventually the time comes for him to leave Dailin and make a   
   pilgrimage. On his journey he faces a number of dangers that test his   
   skills, but he also meets many people who inspire him in different ways.   
   A chastened but determined Chinmi returns to Dailin for advanced   
   training. But soon his skills are needed again - the Mongol hordes are   
   nearing the temple.   
      
   	I found this 1988 manga about a young Chinese boy who does not fall in   
   a cursed pond but is a master of kung-fu.   It is now online at the   
   usual sites.   
   	The art is typical of the period with echoes of Kimagure Orange Road   
   and of earlier Tezuka young heroes.   
   	The first chapter is amusing as he exerises his karate powers on   
   filling the water tank as and dealing a Drunken Master who is looking   
   for a young man to fulfill a prophecy. Dealing as well with villains.   
     He travels to a martial arts temple for the opportunity to drink more   
   rice wine and to train.   
   	This leads to several other stories with the same hero.  But we   
   have over 40 chapters online and the first two are pretty long.
