Furthermore, Chu Ning has just recently advanced to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, while Ao Xuan has been at this stage for many years and possesses considerable Divine Techniques.
With such an arrangement of matches, Chu Ning has no certainty of victory in any of the three rounds, unable to maximize Chu Ning's potential.
But now that the situation is set, he can only proceed as such.
He directly announced: "For the third round, our Jiuhua Sect will have Chu Ning face Ao Xuan."
The white-clad Ao Xuan, upon hearing this, turned his gaze toward Chu Ning.
"I've heard that the Chief Steward of Jiuhua Sect's Alchemy Pavilion in recent years has been replaced by someone named Chu Ning. I hadn't heard of this name before, are you Chu Ning?"
Upon hearing Ao Xuan's words, Chu Ning did not mind and turned to Yuan Rongzhang, softly asking:
"Junior Brother Yuan, who is this person? In front of so many Golden Core Elders, how can someone be so rude as to speak out of turn?"
