Yao Qiang's defeat came as a surprise to the vast majority of people.
After all, "Sky Shattering Tiger" was a figure even more renowned than "Shadowless Sword," but who on earth was this "Wu Dai"? Nobody had ever heard of him.
Yet the result lay before their eyes, and no other masters present could discern any underhanded tricks from "Wu Dai," so the outcome was undisputed.
Poor Zu Tingfeng, the Zu Gang Leader. In the last contest, he only lost because the older generation wanted to "keep things level," and now, after so many years, just when Gong Lianjun had passed away and he finally had another chance... heh! They changed to a competition.
If it's a competition, so be it. Zu Tingfeng's connections and financial resources weren't bad either. He managed to recruit a skilled fighter like Yao Qiang to fight on his behalf in a short time.
When it came down to the quarterfinals, if you looked at the on-paper strength alone, Yao Qiang was undoubtedly the first.
