In the middle of the night, Mr. Cai tells the others that he has seen the duel between Cai and Ming. He tells them that Cai knocked Ming down with a single punch, and that the elder man must have been right. He also says that the others are siding with Cai because he was careless of them. He then shows them the difference between the prodigy and the cockroach. He says that Ming is only 18 and Cai is a true prodigy.
