Could a Powerful Heavenly Dao be directly weakened?
Hearing Xu Yaolin's words, Chen Fei's brow furrowed even deeper. This punishment could not be called anything but severe.

But if he did not choose a partner, every other cultivator would gain an extra Dao Ancestor-level teammate, while he remained alone. If he was then singled out later, it would be the same as being surrounded and killed, with thorns and brambles covering every step.

"If Your Excellency refuses, then I will become another challenger's partner," Xu Yaolin said, shaking his head.
"Some challengers can directly have two partners?" This answer was somewhat beyond Chen Fei's expectations.
Chen Fei had thought that if he refused, at most Xu Yaolin would go from partner to enemy, and he would have to fight him once before he could continue onward.
