A Draw
Seeing that the two had not yet fallen, everyone assumed that the battle was not over. However, Di Tian, Xu Xingyu, and Yu Tianyu in the sky couldn't help but shake their heads.
They already knew how this farce would end.
Ma Xiaotao and Qiangu Tianzhang seemed to lose all their strength and collapsed onto the shattered arena.
The second battle between the Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance, the elders' battle, ended in a draw.
After the referee confirmed the result, the members of the Spirit Contract Pagoda and the Anti-Spirit Alliance stepped forward and took away their representatives.
At this moment, Xu Xingyu held the unconscious Ma Xiaotao and began to observe her injuries. Ma Xiaotao's injuries this time were not light. In addition to the fact that the wedding and her Spiritual Power had been completely exhausted, her left scapula was shattered by the Coiling Dragon Staff of the Qiangu Tianzhang.
Although her life was saved, and the life force from the Gold of Life that Xu Xingyu infused into her would not leave any aftereffects, the treatment would take a considerable amount of time.
Qiangu Tianzhang wasn't much better off either. Like Ma Xiaotao, he had also exhausted all his Soul Power and Spiritual Power, and his entire body suffered severe level two burns, probably caused by Ma Xiaotao's final attack.
Although most of the energy was neutralized by the final Unyielding Staff Technique of the Qiangu Tianzhang, the high temperature of the Fire of Punishment still damaged the Qiangu Tianzhang.
Without two or three months of treatment Qiangu Tianzhang wouldn't be able to walk with his head held high again, and the same applies to Ma Xiaotao.
However, even though this battle ended in a draw, Xu Xingyu had already achieved his goal. He originally wanted to use this battle to let Ma Xiaotao Ma Xiaotao demonstrate the power of her Battle Armor.
This battle truly demonstrated to everyone the amplification that Battle Armor could provide to an individual. After all, it was already quite incredible that a duel between a Soul Saint and Titled Douluo could end in a draw.
At this time, many neutral forces began to be curious about the Soul Tool Technology of the Spirit Contract Pagoda, and those members of the Anti-Spirit Alliance who originally opposed the Spirit Contract Pagoda also began to waver in their prejudices against Spirit Contract Pagoda.
After all, if they continue to fight against the Spirit Contract Pagoda, which possesses power capable of bringing Soul Saint and Titled Douluo to a draw, does the Anti-Spirit Alliance really have any reason to resist if a real war breaks out?
As the alliance leader, Yu Tianyu saw through his subordinates' thoughts and immediately turned to Di Tian, asking, "So, what's next after this draw? Will there be a tiebreaker?"
Di Tian frowned and said, "Why do you still think your Anti-Spirit Alliance has a chance? Although it's a draw this time, our Spirit Contract Pagoda is still leading according to the score. If there's to be a tiebreaker, you'd have to beat me in the third strongman battle. You haven't even reached the Limitless Oduro level yet, and you're already this brave?"
Yu Tianyu replied with displeasure, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian simply chuckled and said, "Alright then, let's have a third match. If you win, we'll have a tiebreaker."
After saying this, Di Tian prepared to leave to make preparations, but at this moment Yu Tianyu suddenly spoke up, "Wait, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you are interested?"
To this, Di Tian merely frowned and firmly replied, "A proposal? Our Spirit Contract Pagoda has no intention of giving up Dragon Valley to anyone."
As for why Di Tian immediately thought the other party wanted to bargain about Dragon Valley when he heard the word "proposal," the reason is obvious: this competition was originally for the purpose of competing for ownership of Dragon Valley.
However, Di Tian would absolutely not let go of matters concerning Dragon Valley. This had nothing to do with the thoughts of his own leader, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, or Xu Xingyu, the reincarnation of the Starry Dragon Emperor. The fact that Dragon Valley was the place where many of his Dragon Clan had perished made Di Tian determined not to let any human force easily obtain it! Not even a small number of slots would be allowed!
!

Yu Tianyu simply shook his head and said, "While I want to talk about Dragon Valley, I'm more concerned about making the third match a one-on-one contest."
Di Tian asked in confusion, "One-on-one? Isn't this supposed to be a one-on-one duel?"
"What I mean is to decide the outcome of this Dragon Valley battle directly with a third match. The winner gets Dragon Valley, and the loser gets nothing."
Before Yu Tianyu could continue speaking, Di Tian directly retorted, "You're dreaming! My Spirit Contract Pagoda is far ahead, why would I want to settle this with a single match against your Anti-Spirit Alliance! Do you take me for a fool?"
!
?!?"
"Beast God, please let me finish." Ignoring the anger on Di Tian's face, Yu Tianyu continued, "Of course, I can't just let your Spirit Contract Pagoda give up the advantage you gained without any cost. Therefore, as compensation, our Anti-Spirit Alliance is willing to raise the stakes."
"Raise the bet?"
"That's right! We're raising the stakes." Yu Tianyu explained, "If our Anti-Spirit Alliance Anti-Spirit Alliance loses this match, then we are willing to sign a contract with your Spirit Contract Pagoda. If we lose this match, then not only will our Anti-Spirit Alliance Anti-Spirit Alliance disband, but the various forces that disband will also cease causing trouble for your Spirit Contract Pagoda in this way. Can your Spirit Contract Pagoda accept these conditions?"
Upon hearing Yu Tianyu's conditions, Di Tian remained unmoved and still intended to reject Yu Tianyu's proposal outright.
After all, it seems that as long as the Spirit Contract Pagoda wins, there will be one less force to harass them. However, theoretically, such a contract is dispensable for the Spirit Contract Pagoda, because after this competition, once Xu Xingyu has dealt with the Dragon Valley matter, he can take the time to wipe out everyone in the Anti-Spirit Alliance.
At that time, the stance of the Spirit Contract Pagoda would not be neutral for the sake of neutrality, but would directly state its position, so there was no need to worry about these trivial matters.
Moreover, the overall strength of the Anti-Spirit Alliance, whether at the high level or at the bottom, is far inferior to that of the Independent Spirit Contract Pagoda. The reason why they are willing to compete with them this time is only because the Spirit Contract Pagoda at the i-Xie Na stage cannot risk exposing its full strength, and has been tolerating the Anti-Spirit Alliance's petty tricks.
However, just as Di Tian was about to utter the words of refusal, a voice appeared in Di Tian's mind.
"Di Tian, don't refuse them yet. Although the Anti-Spirit Alliance's actions are clearly a trap, I think we can agree to their demands, but before that, we must get them to raise their stakes further."
The owner of this voice was none other than Xu Xingyu, one of the few people who could command Di Tian, and also Di Tian's nominal superior.
Although Di Tian had some doubts about Xu Xingyu's behavior, he believed that she must have done so for the good of the Soul Beast Clan and the Dragon Clan.
Therefore, with the help of Xu Xingyu's telepathic communication, he engaged in further debate (extortion) with Yu Tianyu.
