The scene inside the room was explosive.
Two tall, heavily muscled men were fighting fiercely. The dull thuds of fists striking flesh were enough to get any man's blood pumping.
One of them was Li Xiao. He had stripped off his outer clothes, revealing over a dozen scars that crawled across his skin like earthworms, a shocking sight.

Li Xiao continued matter-of-factly, "Bean Master knocked him out in the end. Only then did I come over to fight this guy."
He sounded excited. One-on-one combat like this was far more interesting than working
