As most people had anticipated, Ren Xuan lost. He was no match for Watanabe Ichiro.
But contrary to many people's expectations, Ren Xuan was incredibly stubborn, managing to get back on his feet time after time. Though he lost the match, his unyielding spirit earned everyone's respect.
The entire stadium fell into a heavy silence. No one cheered, no one spoke, no one exclaimed… The audience stared at the Combat Stage, all clenching their teeth and fists. Their eyes burned with a mixture of frustration and anger, wishing they could storm the stage and fight themselves. The frustration was for Ren Xuan, and the anger was for Watanabe Ichiro.
This man from Sakura Country was just too damn arrogant!
It wasn't until Ren Xuan lay in a pool of blood and was carried away on a stretcher by two medical staff that the referee began to announce the results. Only then did the audience start whispering among themselves.
"Damn it… That Sakura Country bastard has no respect!"
