In Monkey King Wreaks Havoc in Heaven, our show-off hero is determined to prove to the Emperor of Heaven that he is more than equal to any of the celestial warriors or ministers. But first he trains and finetunes his own little monkey army, then he sets off to equip himself with his trademark hero’s weapon. Only then is he ready for a show-down with the Jade Emperor of Heaven. Epic battles are fought, and eventually all the lords and ladies of Heaven must run for cover as Monkey King runs amok. The supreme Buddha is the only one capable of reigning in the rampaging simian—and he does it with the strangest of wagers.

Under the guidance of Tang Monk, Monkey King learns to redirect his abundant energy. From a carefree show-off to a responsible leader, Monkey King has outgrown his mischief and caprice, and developed into a true disciple with increasing self-control. However, challenges remain on the trip to the West in search of the Sacred Scriptures. This is the fourth volume of Adventures of Monkey King series.
