To say that they were shocked was an understatement.
They were beyond bewildered at what he had just accomplished. Not even Queen Lianiala, who was the least shaken, could have expected such a dominant performance against the very finest of Martial Masters of her Solaris Kingdom.
She had even predicted the possibility that he would lose his battle, at which point she would need to resort to other means. Yet, not only did he win, he did so in a domineering and overwhelming fashion that she didn't think was possible. She had figured that even if he did win, it would be a narrow and pyrrhic victory.
By winning the way he did, he completely stunned all of them silent, leaving them unable to even process what they had just seen.
