The last time Zhen Liu went to Stone Claw's arena, they were there on a date with Jin Fang.
At that time, they watched the scion of the Wolfe Family fight against a member of the Diggers Union named Sullivan. It was from this digger that Zhen Liu acquired the [Core of Re(great/venge)] and go on to use it to create the kaijin known as Frosttusk.
In all honesty, Zhen Liu figured he would never come back to this arena after his first visit. He had already extracted some decent cores out of the arena and had essentially leveled out of the arena and most of it's combatants around the time he became an Aether Grandmaster.
However, fate had different plans in mind...granted, "fate" in this case were named Aranea(Archanidame) and Lucille(Lacerage).
