The murmurs of the crowd intensified. The spectators, still buzzing from Ethan's impressive victory but even more so from his transformation, shared their opinions and theories about what had just happened. Some applauded fervently, excited by the spectacle they had just witnessed, while others, more cautious, discussed in hushed tones, trying to understand the transformation Ethan had displayed in the arena.
The announcer, being a showman, quickly moved to announce the result. His booth was illuminated by the artificial light of the spotlights, and his voice, amplified by the speakers, resonated throughout the stadium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have our winner!" he exclaimed, pointing with one hand toward Ethan, who stood at the center of the stage. "Ethan Blackwood has defeated Lin Zhilan and claims victory in this incredible battle!"
