The most crucial point was that Yang Chen faced two opponents and ultimately defeated the chosen fighters from the Demon Slaying Branch and the Huangdao Sect. If Yang Chen had won one-on-one, people would still think it made some sense. At least, everyone could consider Yang Chen as lucky or something similar.
But winning two against one was an entirely different matter.
Lin Tao was the most embarrassed. He had just spoken ill of Yang Chen and pointed at his nose, saying that Yang Chen was bound to lose miserably. But what about Yang Chen now? He single-handedly turned the situation around.
If Yang Chen hadn't achieved such a record, there would be no problem with his reputation, and no one would think too much of him. Everyone would just think he was honorably and gracefully defeated while under siege.
However, Yang Chen's achievements made things different.
