I had already held back a lot. I had only used the Thunder Method to disperse his protective aura and hadn't gone for the kill.
But the Thunder Method was too powerful. It was bound to affect him somewhat.
But it couldn't have knocked him unconscious, could it?
Either this kid couldn't bear the humiliation and simply pretended to faint.
Or he was too prideful and couldn't accept the violent surge in his blood and energy, so he passed out...
"Brother Zheng! Brother Zheng!"
"Brother Zheng's blood and energy are surging badly."
"He should be fine."
"Let's take him to Sixth Uncle!"

With that, several members of the Lu Family lifted Lu Zheng and began running toward the reception hall.
Before leaving, they shot me somewhat frightened looks, clearly not expecting me to be this strong.
I spoke up.
"He's fine. He'll wake up after resting for a while!"
But they refused to accept that.
"No need for our honored guest to worry!"
"My Brother Zheng was simply inferior in skill. We admit defeat."
"Come on, take Brother Zheng to Sixth Uncle."

With that, the group carried off the dark, burly Lu Zheng at a run.
Lu Yao also said awkwardly, "W-we'll be taking our leave first!"
After saying that, she quickly followed them.
At that point, only Zhang Yuchen and I remained.
Zhang Yuchen stepped forward and said with a smile, "Brother Jiang, that guy seemed to be only at the peak of the Central Pivot Realm, about the same as me.
You hit him with the Thunder Method right away and knocked him out."
I smiled.
"Better to knock one punch open than invite a hundred more.
Besides, I deliberately aimed off target just now.
Otherwise, after that strike, he would've been seeing his great-grandmother."
