In such a situation, breaking through to the 'Saint Realm', Kash Lynch's breakthrough was unexpected by most of those present.
The reason it's said most of them, rather than all, is because some seemed unsurprised.
Furthermore, it was not just one person.
Among the group from King Archer's manor, the leading King Archer and the two elders standing behind him did not show any shock or surprise at Kash Lynch's breakthrough.
Judging by their calm demeanor, it was clear they already knew this moment would unfold.
And in fact, they did indeed already know.
Kash Lynch could have broken through to the 'Saint Realm' months ago, but chose not to due to today's destined duel with Wyatt Barnes.
If he had broken through to the 'Saint Realm,' regardless of whether Wyatt was willing to fight, if he won, people would say he won dishonorably, belittling him for bullying the weak.
However, breaking through to the 'Saint Realm' in a life-and-death duel is a different concept.
