The reason why Yu Feng, Xiong Qi, and Lou Xing lent spirit stones to Zhu An without hesitation, apart from their families being dependent on the Zhu Family and their inability to defy them, was because they were also tempted by Wang Ruoxie's stakes.
As long as Zhu An defeated or even killed Wang Ruoxie on the battle platform of the dueling arena, they could receive double the lower-grade spirit stones.
In their eyes, it was practically being given to them for free.
The outcome of Zhu An, at the Third Layer of the Element Transformation Realm, against Wang Ruoxie, at the Ninth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, was already determined.
Moreover, Zhu An harbored a lethal intent towards Wang Ruoxie; this battle was bound to be a life-or-death struggle.
