The third day's martial arts competition in Bianliang City ended in chaos.
The chaos was caused by a contest whose outcome was obvious but whose judgment was absurdly ludicrous.
Xie Tian's solitary departure was seen by everyone as disdain for the so-called martial justice, so he did not condescend to argue for his own unfair treatment.
Thus, to anyone, Xie Tian had the right to say, "I won."
He lost the match, but won himself; he lost the match, but won recognition.
With this, as the number one martial artist of the Song Dynasty, Master Gong no longer had many supporters.
Even Yin He, who had formed the strongest alliance against Xie Tian with Master Gong, was puzzled by Master Gong's approach, which could have been better, more covert, and more dignified. Why resort to such measures that the world could not approve of in such haste?
