After about two minutes, Ding Mai pushed aside those helping him, got up from the floor, and looked at Chen Chuan.
Although Chen Chuan had knocked him down, he showed no signs of anger or resentment. Instead, his expression was one of pure admiration. He walked up to Chen Chuan and said loudly, "Captain Chen, you're incredible. You have my utmost respect!"
'There's no shame in losing to an opponent. The real shame is in being unable to face them head-on, in making one excuse after another. If you can't even get over that mental block, how can you ever hope to win? It just doesn't work that way.'
Everyone present felt Chen Chuan's victory was a commanding one. He had met Ding Mai head-on, and none of those who had sparred with Ding Mai or seen him in action had ever witnessed such a relentlessly aggressive fighting style. It wasn't just Ding Mai; they were all thoroughly impressed.
