Where does Chu Ning's confidence come from?
Suxin Island.
"Island Master, if Xiang is able to break through to the Divine Transformation Mid Stage, I'm afraid Chu Ning will not be his match."
The Island Master of Suxin Island, Wei Jianlin, and the two Elders of Suxin Island, who had been in seclusion, brazenly appeared in the Mountain Sect's grand hall.
"If Chu Ning is defeated, I will intervene. It's not considered a loss for Chu Ning if he loses to someone in the Divine Transformation Mid Stage while he is at the initial stage," said Wei Jianlin.
Wei Jianlin's eyes narrowed slightly. If Xiang were to suddenly reach the Divine Transformation Mid Stage, it would no longer be a battle of equals but an unfair cross-realm fight. Even if Chu Ning were to lose, most cultivators would find it acceptable and not consider it a reflection of inferior ability to Xiang.
In this scenario, if Chu Ning were still to win, that would be unreasonable.
