Disputes

Rui immediately immersed himself in psychological conditioning as he honed his focus and sharpened his concentration.

Meanwhile, organizing the duel grew more turbulent as the entire world tried to weigh in on the conditions. What should have been a relatively straightforward task became a delayed ordeal as the entire world pressured the Heaven Sect to not make the wrong choice.

As arrogant as they were, they couldn't ignore all of human civilization. 

Different nations expressed different views.

The Virodhabhasa Theocracy insisted that only Lord Virodhabhasa should have been allowed to choose the conditions of the duel as the challenger while others defended the Heaven Sect's right to choose the conditions as the home nation.

Some insisted that it was absurd to have a Martial Sage fight a Martial Master and that the former should be required to seal Sage-level power and fight only with his Body, Heart, and Mind.
