'Dear Mr. William:
Due to your outstanding contribution during the Nightmare Event, you are hereby invited to the Hall of Honor to receive a special commendation from the organization.-

"Hmm? The Hall of Honor... They're making quite a big deal out of this."
Yi Chen had been fortunate enough to read about the Hall of Honor in books. Only individuals who had made enormous contributions to the organization were qualified to ascend its halls.

After receiving the Letter, Yi Chen's drowsiness vanished completely.
After leaving a note for the sleeping Jin, he departed alone. During this period, it had been Jin's meat-based nourishment, sparring with him at the same level, and the leisure time they had spent together that had allowed Yi Chen to mostly emerge from the dual shadow of being beaten down—both physically and mentally.
Although Jin's fighting style was also based on "pure flesh," it was completely different from the combat techniques of Zede and Yi Chen.
With the support of Cancer Cell, Jin could actively "discard" parts of himself during battle in exchange for inflicting equivalent damage on his opponent. He could then use the regeneration provided by cancer to rapidly recover and gain the advantage.
It was still early, so Yi Chen planned to eat a bowl of pork stewed noodles in the lower district before heading over.
Who could have known that
