"Shenwuji" (Chinese: 神武紀) is a spin-off manhua based on "Fung Wan" also by Ma Wing Shing. It ran for 40 issues.

History

Shenwuji was first made known when a mini-comic was included with "Fung Wan" issue #400. It depicted a team of diggers discovering the Ultimate Superior Sword in the year 2047.

Basic plot

Bou Keng Wan and Nip Fung are reincarnated in the year 2047 as well as Hung Ba. Bou Keng Wan (now named Aor Teek(Metal)) and Nip Fung (who retains his ancestor's name) come into direct contact with Hung Ba's reincarnate. Aor Teek possess a strange art of Kung Fu that the antagonists want. On later issues, Aor Teek and Nip Fung are slowly pushed out of the storyline and it begins deals with cyborgs and clones.

Criticism

Ma Wing Shing was touting the series as "Wind and Cloud of the Future" and while they do appear so, it wasn't what the fans were expecting. They were even excluded from the final issue. Ma even admitted at one point that he was disappointed with how the story was going. Fans have criticized that the plot became too convoluted towards the end and therefore stopped reading. There has also been criticisms of uninteresting enemies and wasted potential. These may have all led to the series being finished after only 40 issues, while it's brother comic Fung Wan is currently on its 493rd issue.
