Did you happen to enter a new area of the map whilst you were fighting with the champion? – opening up the areas with the place names in white counts towards the various regional exploration achievements.

What Lexy means is that before you explore a map, it’s all fogged over and you can’t see it. As you explore new territories, the fog or blur (whatever you want to call it) clears and reveals that part of the map. Whenever that happens, you get an exploration exp bonus. So she (I assume?) is saying that you may have entered a new area of the map without realizing it while fighting the champion, and that the exploration bonus was from that.

@Kaii
Yes, thank you, that is what I meant but you explain it much better than I (she) do

Having an area 100% means you visited all marked points. That doesn’t mean you visited all areas. For example, you can have a map 100% but then later do the hidden jumping puzzle, you will get then exploration bonus from discovering the jumping puzzle (and it will then unfog from the map).
