In the eyes of Gu Ao and the others, Ling Tian was very powerful, a little stronger than Po Tian. Even if the two fought, they might not be able to defeat each other, but they could at least draw.
Since a one-on-one fight couldn't determine the winner, the only option was a group battle—and it had to be a fair one.
A fair fight meant one of the two plans proposed by Gu Ao and Young Master Joyful. In the eyes of Young Master Joyful and the others, whichever plan Ling Tian chose, he would have the upper hand and ultimately win.
If he could draw with Po Tian one-on-one, then defeat him in a group battle, the Enlightenment Sacred Tree would surely acknowledge him and follow Ling Tian. Then Gu Ao and the others' plan would come to fruition.
Thinking of this, Gu Ao and the others grew expectant.
On the arena, the battle continued. The two Dao Bodies fought in a straightforward manner, closing in to clash head-on. Heavy halberd met long spear as they traded blows, the fight fierce and unrelenting.
"Ling Tian, Po Tian has been cultivating his Dao Body much longer than you. So his Dao Body is a little stronger than yours." Po Xiong quickly reached his judgment. "Of course, even if he defeats your Dao Body, his own will be nearly spent. It won't pose much of a threat to you."
"Heh, if his Dao Body defeats mine, what do you think Gu Ao and the others will make of it?" Ling Tian asked, unable to keep from smiling.
"They'll think you're a little weaker than Po Tian. Then, when you pretend to lose to him later, even fewer people will suspect a thing." Po Xiong spoke, also unable to hold back
