The ring was brutal and blood-soaked, while beneath it, passions ran high in a frenzy. The entire 12-story building was filled with the smell of alcohol, tobacco, women, and sweat—a complex amalgamation of odors that could be described as putrid and noxious.
Yet, the people immersed in the scene were completely oblivious, all of them plunged into a state of extreme excitement. Their adrenaline pumped rapidly, each person as if injected with a dose of chicken blood.
The round-robin had come to an end, and five out of ten red sticks had been eliminated.
The five red sticks that advanced were Hong Kong's Little Sword, Ozterra's Ah Yi, the Koreans Li Jishao and Choi Kim, and Ma Ken from America's Alaska CK Alliance. This outcome was a significant victory for the Koreans and a massive defeat for Taiwan Island.
