Zhang Bao was absolutely dumbstruck. Never on his entire life had an officer bested him like that, even the ones who captured him used a cowardly tactic by closing the garrison and threatening to fire arrows at him. Perhaps this is what his father meant by an honourable battle when Zhang Fei would tell his children stories as an officer during his youth.
"Well...usually, it's easy..." Zhang Bao muttered while laying on his back with his chest exposed, the blow pretty much knocking the wind out of him. "Being in that dungeon must have made me rusty..." Was he actually fearing for his life? It felt like Ba could see right through him, as he was not completley interested in fighting. Rather, he was a little distracted by something else...
Zhang Bao looked beside him, his flail had been removed from the gauntlet he wore that would extend it, probably when he fell. He was now basically defenseless with little protection and a busted weapon. "I admire your abilities." Zhang Bao said. He was humiliated but also impressed, as if he admired his opponent, especially the strange desire starting to overcome him. "I failed the challenge your lord made for me, didn't I?" He asked. "What happens then? Will you now execute me?"
