Juline Kenga always thought that she was an only child and the heiress to her martial arts clan. So when an old kung-fu master gives her a magical bell and tells her to find her two older sisters, it comes as quite a surprise. She must find them quickly as the evil King Baiwon is trying to capture the three bells that the Kenga sisters hold. Juline finds one sister, Kaline, in a nearby town, but the oldest sister, Seiline, is a pirate captain who won’t believe that the other two are her sisters unless they defeat her in combat.

We first meet Julin Misumi, a school girl at Fighting Fang Hall. It is Julin's fifteenth birthday and her sensei, Master Yoh, presents her with a bell as a present then sends her to the city with her friend Kio as punishment for being late to class. While they are gone, the Hall is attacked the White Lotus Clan, who are seeking the Secret of Shaolin... the power to rule the world! Bai Wang is the leader of the group and she seeks to gain that power. Julin hears about the attack and rushed to the Hall to help those who had fallen. Having had trouble using her Shaolin Stone Fist, her doubts about her fighting skill were high, but she managed to use it!
However, she was not fast enough to save some of her comrades and her sensei. Master Yoh's final wish for Julin was to find her sisters, who also had bells similar to hers.
During the battle between Julin and some of the White Lotus Clan, Julin had been in peril and Kio had saved her. But, in doing so, had fallen off a cliff. Julin could not find any trace of him but his headband and she set off in search of her sisters with this heavy burden.
Julin first searches for one of her sisters at the Four Kings Gold Pavilion. As soon as she arrives, the White Lotus Clan shows up and challenges the Four Warriors of the Pavilion, one of which is Kalin, Julin's older sister.
With the advice of Kalin's sensei, Master Koh, they go in search of their final sister, Seilin, the eldest of them. They also learn of their father, Ryu, who had a strange past with the girls' separate mothers.
They find Seilin, who is a pirate captain, but she refuses to believe that she is related to the two girls and challenges them. Kalin accepts and the two begin to battle, but Kalin is quickly knocked down and is almost finished off by Seilin, who is fighting to kill. However, Julin intercepts and the battle is fought between her and Seilin.
This volume was quirky and funny! I had read Shaolin Sisters: Reborn first and this series gave more information for me to work on and moved very quickly. (
