Most of those who were speaking up at this moment were those who had not participated in the battle and only made it in time to hear the outcome.
To be honest, it was hard for them to believe that a single person could defeat five thousand inner disciples within the short span of half an hour. How were they supposed to accept something as inconceivable as this out of the blue?
Unless the details of the battle were revealed, no one could accept it!
The person managing the dueling ring turned to the rest of the crowd and asked, "Are you certain? Can I verify if the other inner disciples are willing to accept this?"
The identities of those in the Ethereal Hall were anonymous, but the battle details would reveal one's true identity!
Of course, it would not go in depth to describe the details of the battle—the duel recording was there for this function—but just the revelation of one's real name had already infringed on the privacy of others.
