In such a situation, even though Wan Fayi was rated as having four-star combat power and his opponent had three and a half stars, he still dared not be careless, as this didn't mean he was guaranteed to defeat Mo Yang,
for there was too much uncertainty. Without having actually engaged in combat, no one knew what condition the other was in or whether they could wield their true strength or even surge to greater heights.
There had also been instances where fighters with lower stars had defeated those with higher combat power—and not just a few.
To put it bluntly, combat power is merely a reference and should not be taken too seriously, for if mere combat power were effective, no one would need to fight; a simple comparison of powers would suffice.
If one only considered Realm as an indication of combat ability, would not the Supreme Overlords stand absolutely no chance against a True Immortal? How then could the storied feats of a Supreme Overlord defeating a True Immortal occur?
