Meng Zhang was an S Class Fighter, and the chairman of the Shenwu Association, a non-profit organization dedicated towards fighting Fallen Fighters in the world of Ba Quan. He and his colleagues were the finalists against Xie Yan, at the 11th Global Fighting Summit.

Plot
After working at the Shenwu Association for over twenty years, Meng Zhang succeeded the late founder Gaia and became the new chairman. He tried to learn the Power Of Gaia, but he didn't have much affinity for it. Gaia had warned Meng Zhang of Qiu Sheng's eventual resurrection after the 11th Global Fighting Summit. Realizing that the spirit of Qiu Sheng is targeting losing teams to create Fallen Fighters and improve his strength, Meng Zhang teams up with his colleagues, Yan Bahuang and Gaia's granddaughter, Zhang Hongjun and participates at the Summit. He devises a plan to kill Qiu Sheng in his weakened state, thus ending the threat of Fallen Fighters forever. A month before the Summit, the Shenwu Association uses underhanded methods to get rid of several teams, to prevent them from being infected by the seed of the Evil God. While carrying out such rounds, Yan Bahuang (disguised as White Tiger) approaches the captain of the Heavenly Whale Team, a mysterious S Class Fighter named Xie Yan. Yan Bahuang tries to solicit Xie Yan into quitting the Summit by offering him the tournament prize, the Universal Secret Pill. The youngster agrees to quit the Summit once he receives the pill, although he is wary of White Tiger and investigates him.

On the first day of the Summit, the Heavenly Whale Team defeats the Neo Hunters Team and wins their first bout for the day. Afterwards, much to Meng Zhang's disapproval, Yan Bahuang sends an anonymous note to Xie Yan, taunting him that he can never find him. Unfortunately, this exposes his presence to Xie Yan. That evening, the Shenwu Association resume with their activities. They discover that the Neo Hunters' Tyron has mutated into a Fallen Fighter, and are forced to kill him. Later, Meng Zhang and Yan Bahuang are startled when Xie Yan confronts them, aware of their secret activities. They nervously deny of any involvement, but Xie Yan tricks the answer from Yan Bahuang and demands an explanation. The three S Class Fighters become acquainted with one other over tea. The chairman discloses his mission to Xie Yan, explaining him about the seed of the Evil God and how it can be extracted. Xie Yan agrees not to expose them and takes an extractor from Meng Zhang. The next day, Meng Zhang invites all losing teams to Green Island. However, in the chairman's absence, Xie Yan disguises himself as Shenxiu and raids the island-bound cruise ship ferrying the invitees. He discovers a seed of the Evil God from one of the Fighters, and safely extracts it before escaping the ship.

The next night, the chairman comes upon a startling revelation: Ge Hong, an esteemed veteran S Class Fighter has been in possession of the seed of the Evil God for twenty years. The night after the Quarter Finals, Meng Zhang, Yan Bahuang, and Chi Lian confront Ge Hong in the woods and are shocked that he has activated the seed. They try to defeat Ge Hong, but are thwarted by the Xie Daoyun Primordial Spirit, who helps Ge Hong escape. Meng Zhang gives up the pursuit. A few days later, the Shenwu Team qualify for the Finals. On the day of the Finals, Meng Zhang unexpectedly forfeits the match on behalf of the Shenwu Association, making the Heavenly Whale Team the champions of the Summit. Xie Yan is stumped, but Meng Zhang tells him not to meddle with the following events. Xie Yan agrees and consumes the Universal Secret Pill.

Suddenly, the skies turn gloomy. It is revealed that the Fighting Summits were a century long resurrection ritual for the first Fallen Fighter, Qiu Sheng. The Shenwu Association had collaborated with Chi Lian and had preempitvely evacuated the audience and other Fighters. Qiu Sheng arrives and begins to summon the Evil God to destroy the world. Meng Zhang and his allies use the Power Of Gaia to engage Qiu Sheng in a contest of wills and both sides are at an impasse. Qiu Sheng breaks the deadlock by absorbing energy from the Shangguan sisters, becoming stronger than ever. Left with no choice but to fight to the death, the heroes teleport Qiu Sheng and themselves to an isolated space. The heroes swiftly defeat Qiu Sheng in the first bout, although they are forced to use all of their strongest moves. In the second bout however, they struggle against Qiu Sheng who adapts to their tactics. Yan Bahuang sacrifices himself while the wounded Chi Lian and Meng Zhang defeat Qiu Sheng, winning the second bout. Using the Power Of Gaia, a heavily wounded Meng Zhang transfers his will and strength to Chi Lian, dying in the process. Later, Xie Yan replaces Chi Lian in the third bout and ultimately kills Qiu Sheng. Unfortunately, Xie Yan is unable to prevent the Evil God from destroying the planet.
