According to the rules of a life-and-death battle, Hiroshi Matsushima undoubtedly lost. He used all his skills and destroyed one of Xiang Shan's prosthetic eyes, but the cost was a half-second blackout due to overexertion of the brain. In a duel between masters, this is fatal.
But according to the rules of a tournament... it seems Matsushima didn't win either.
This contest didn't have scoring, but from Matsushima's perspective, he felt he was mostly being suppressed. If there were a referee calculating points, his score might be slightly lower.
He didn't think he had won.
But Xiang Shan just patted him on the shoulder: "You care more than I do, so it counts as your win."
Saying this, he asked Zero for some data, waved his hand, and turned away.
Leaving Hiroshi Matsushima standing there.
Matsushima wasn't unable to move, but for a moment, he didn't know what to do, his mind completely blank.
