Fresh off a string of wins at a local park in China, Masamune loses his first bout there when a stranger's top knocks Striker clean out of the ring. That stranger turns out to be Chao Xin, third blader for Wang Hu Zhong, who avoids Masamune's challenge until Dashan Wang forces the issue. Chao Xin leads him to the Great Wall for the fight, where Virgo's circular defense absorbs hit after hit; Masamune finally cracks that defense but Chao Xin's Adamantine Hands counters his Lightning Sword Flash and sends Striker into a self-inflicted sleep-out.
