The man at the table's face was bright red, his eyes glazed from excessive drinking, and his speech was slurred.
This was none other than Zheng Haiming, the eccentric but popular Fighter who had faced Zhou Yuanjue in the first match. He had brought a cheerleading squad to the tournament, only to be knocked unconscious by a single palm strike from his opponent.
After that defeat, Zheng Haiming had suffered a devastating blow. He could never have imagined that the fighting techniques he prided himself on at school would be so utterly useless. The experience had completely upended his understanding of combat and even human potential.
To make matters worse, someone had filmed the match and circulated the video within his fighting community. Ever since, he was teased and ridiculed wherever he went, which brought him an immense sense of failure and psychological stress.
