Reborn in 2005, Zhou Feng awakens the Emotion Furnace system. Whenever he provokes an emotional reaction from a basketball player, he gains a chance to earn experience points or acquire their skills and traits. The more intense the emotional fluctuation, the higher the quality of the rewards. Armed with this unique ability, Zhou Feng targets the league's biggest stars with ruthless precision. He taunts Kobe Bryant by declaring the championship belongs to the wandering Shaq, mocks Shaquille O'Neal for becoming a subordinate to rookies in Miami, questions Carmelo Anthony about failing to win Rookie of the Year despite his talent, and asks Chris Paul if he was stabbed eleven times because he lacked the courage to fight back. Through relentless verbal warfare, a new star rises to dominate the art of trash talk.
