An Understated Dominance

The audience erupted in shock.

No one expected Black Kong to be so ruthless. He had already won the match, but he still stomped on Eduardo’s head. This was pure cruelty—an act of defiling a corpse.

“Black Kong has gone too far! He didn’t even leave Eduardo’s body intact!”

“If Eduardo hadn’t held back, Black Kong would’ve been dead! How can he be so arrogant?”

“He’s heartless. He’ll get what’s coming to him!”

The crowd was outraged, cursing Black Kong’s behavior. In the martial arts world, life and death are accepted as fate—everyone knows this and usually doesn’t complain. But there’s also an unwritten rule: leave a line so people can meet again in the future.

Without a deep grudge, it’s enough to win the fight. There’s no need to destroy your opponent completely.

Killing Eduardo to win was understandable, but desecrating his body afterward was a different level of cruelty.
