Three years ago, Ning Huan had used Cang Lan's ability to "lock in" victory for Dai Huabin ahead of time.
Everything that happened in the meantime had therefore been bound to push things toward that outcome.
But Huo Yuhao had now undergone a complete transformation.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone, a second Thousand-Year Soul Ring, top-grade Immortal Herbs, and all sorts of other opportunities.
Every one of them was a stroke of fortune that shouldn't have appeared at this point in his original path.
Though he lacked far more in the way of future potential, his immediate combat strength had instead surged by several levels.
On top of that, there was his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong, along with its absurd effects.
All of this had led [Fate Trade] to determine that Dai Huabin would lose, then urgently bolster him.
Seen in that light, the Evil Eye Holy King's sudden appearance made perfect sense.
It was just...
"Dai Huabin... No, wait! Does the White Tiger Duke Mansion's imperial fortune have enough for him to squander all by himself?"
"Brother Ning Huan, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing. Let's keep watching the match. It'll be good for you two."
"Okay~"
After dispelling Ning Tian's confusion, Ning Huan also set his own thoughts aside for the time being.
Then he turned his attention to Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin's performance in battle.
There was no doubt that the latter was much more impressive at first glance.
Whether it was his astonishing forty-eighth rank, just two steps away from becoming a Soul King,
or his White Tiger Martial Soul, which radiated the aura of the true king of beasts and showed faint signs of a Second Awakening,
both had caught the attention of the Sea God Pavilion
