"My God! Mo Luo's been knocked unconscious!"
"He won! Zhaang Ye actually beat Mo Luo!"
"Zhaang Ye is incredible! This fight was a total surprise!"
"First place in the entrance competition! Inner Sect Senior Brother! Zhaang Ye's rise is meteoric! Everyone is going to know his name now!"
The sight of Mo Luo smashed unconscious on the ground threw the entire valley into an uproar, like a cauldron of boiling oil. The crowd erupted in a frenzy of discussion, their howls, cheers, and sighs merging into a deafening roar. The immense noise kicked up clouds of dust, making the valley thick with swirling grit as the very ground trembled, as if the world were coming to an end.
Zhaang Ye looked at Mo Luo, unconscious on the ground, and breathed a quiet sigh of relief. 'Thank goodness I managed to knock him out,' he thought. 'Otherwise, I would have had to use my Long Whip to win.'
