Qiangu Zhangting lost his composure

"Battle Heaven and Earth Shaking!"

Qiangu Zhangting let out a low shout, and his arms suddenly exerted force, causing the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hands to instantly burst into a hum. The staff trembled violently like a serpent, and all nine Soul Ring lit up at the same time. A more Berserk force than before surged into the staff through his arms.

The hundred-meter-long giant staff drew a strange arc in the air, landing precisely beside the Bianka, and using the force of its rotation, it suddenly flicked upwards—

"Bang!"

The snow-white figure was thrown into the air with a thud, like a willow catkin swept up by a gale, flying straight into the sky.

However, this was only the beginning. Just as the Bianka had not yet regained its footing, a staff shadow suddenly appeared in the sky again.

The staff shadow was similar to the previous "Heaven Dou" move, but it was more refined and more Berserk, carrying the power of attacking from above and below, like a pillar of light falling from the sky, smashing hard into the target in the air!

"Boom!"

The giant club collided with the goose's body again, and this time the impact was far more terrifying than before.

The Bianka let out a short cry in the air, its body plummeting like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground in the center of the arena.

With a deafening roar, a crater several meters deep was smashed into the ground, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

As the dust settled, everyone was astonished to find that most of the Big White Goose's body was sunk into the ground, like a nail driven into the soil, with only its head sticking out, its neck swaying slightly as if it were adjusting its breathing.

"It's not over yet!"

A cold glint flashed in Qiangu Zhangting's eyes, giving his opponent no chance to catch his breath. He gripped the middle section of the Coiling Dragon Staff tightly with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength from his waist, he hurled the hundred-meter-long giant staff like a javelin towards the Bianka in the pit!

The stick spun rapidly in the air, Berserk with a sharp whooshing sound, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through several hundred meters in length.

The dragon patterns carved on the staff seemed to come alive, with golden streams of light flowing along the patterns and eventually coalescing into a lifelike white dragon that circled the Coiling Dragon Staff and roared through the sky.

Centered on the Coiling Dragon Staff, the surrounding space began to Distortion violently. The originally stable dimensional laws rippled like water with a stone thrown in, and then shattered and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The white dragon opened its massive maw and devoured all the scattered fragments of law, feeding them back into the Coiling Dragon Staff.

Empowered by the power of the laws, the Coiling Dragon Staff grew even larger, radiating a blinding white light, as if it had transformed into a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and crashed down into the huge pit in the ground!

This is the essence of the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul. Ordinary Limit Douluo guide the laws to their own use to demonstrate their formidable strength, but the Coiling Dragon Staff is completely different. Its ultimate meaning lies in "breaking" - breaking free from the shackles of the laws and dominating the heavens.

By using the Indomitable Staff Technique, one can disrupt the laws of a plane within a small area, and then absorb the power of those disrupted laws to amplify oneself, creating a short-term burst of power.

However, this amplification is ultimately temporary. The power of the laws used by the Coiling Dragon Staff will soon completely dissipate and cannot be truly absorbed by the Qiangu Zhangting.

This is also the drawback of the Indomitable Staff Technique —it takes opposing heaven and earth as its way, and is destined to be unable to gain the recognition of other planes.

Otherwise, if it were truly possible to arbitrarily destroy and permanently absorb the laws of a plane, the Qiangu Family would probably have already been wiped out by the current Plane Master Tang Hao, simply because they touched upon the interests of certain individuals.

"Indomitable Staff Technique, Third Form: Stand Tall Between Heaven and Earth!"

In mid-air, Qiangu Zhangting, who had thrown out the Coiling Dragon Staff, suddenly shone with an incandescent white light, as if he had transformed into a giant source of light.

The power of laws that had been shattered by the Coiling Dragon Staff was now feeding back into him through an invisible connection, causing his aura to surge to an unprecedented level.

He stepped into the air and, like an arrow, followed closely behind the Coiling Dragon Staff, swooping down towards the Bianka on the ground.

"Boom--"

The Coiling Dragon Staff crashed to the ground, causing the entire arena to tremble violently, as if a small earthquake had occurred. The ear-piercing roar continued, and the sound waves spread out as if they were tangible, making the eardrums of the Spectator in the stands buzz.

The moment Qiangu Zhangting's body came into contact with the Coiling Dragon Staff, it was completely absorbed by the white light emanating from the staff. The white dragon that was flying around the Coiling Dragon Staff suddenly became incredibly active in its eyes, as if it had completely awakened its consciousness.

"Hold head high!"

The white dragon let out a deafening roar, soaring hundreds of feet into the sky. Then it suddenly turned its head and spewed a highly condensed white breath at the goose head that was protruding from the pit.

This breath contained a rich power of law. Even Super Douluo wearing Three-word Battle Armor would not dare to easily withstand it head-on, otherwise, the slightest carelessness would result in the body Erosion Element by the power of law.

However, just as the breath was about to hit its target, the Bianka in the pit suddenly moved.

It suddenly pulled its body out of the rock layer, its snow-white wings suddenly spreading open, and its originally smooth feathers gleamed with a metallic sheen.

"Puff--"

A white breath gushed fiercely onto its back, unleashing a blinding burst of energy.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the body of the Bianka could be vaguely seen trembling violently, its luster dimming several times, yet never dissipating.

Just then, the Coiling Dragon Staff suddenly vanished into thin air, and Qiangu Zhangting appeared without warning behind Bianka. The Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand swept out with a whooshing sound, hitting it solidly on its back.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, amidst gasps from the Spectator, the Bianka, like a baseball being hit, transformed into a white meteor and slammed hard into the protective shield in the distance.

With a loud crash, the sturdy protective shield shook violently, rippling like waves. The Bianka slid several meters across the shield before slowly falling.

But just before it was about to crash to the ground, its snow-white wings suddenly unfolded, and it deftly flipped itself using the reaction force of the shield. Its orange-yellow duck feet lightly touched the ground, and it sprang up again, like an arrow released from a bow, flying straight towards the Qiangu Zhangting in mid-air.

This?!

Qiangu Zhangting's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.

This creation, Forging from Heaven-Forged Metal, has such outrageously high defensive capabilities?

Despite being bombarded with his own deadly moves, especially the final sweeping attack imbued with the power of laws, it seemed that only the aura on its surface had been dissipated, and its Original Body had not suffered much impact?

This is completely illogical!

Qiangu Zhangting was well aware of the wonders of the Heaven-Forged Metal, but he also understood that metal ultimately has its limits.

Moreover, a creature like the Bianka should theoretically be more fragile without Spirit Master continuously supplying it with Soul Power. However, the scene before us is quite the opposite—this goose not only shows no signs of weakness, but also seems to be getting stronger as it fights!

"Son~"

The Bianka let out a cry that sounded somewhat pleasant, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in its dark eyes.

The white dragon breath that clung to its feathers had not yet completely dissipated, but in the next moment, the energy containing the power of laws slowly seeped into its body like melting ice and snow.

After receiving energy replenishment, its feathers became even whiter, even faintly gleaming with a warm luster.

The Indomitable Staff Technique of Qiangu Zhangting can break through the laws of planes, but it cannot truly absorb them; it can only be released by mixing them into attacks.

But it is different—as a creation of Heaven-Forged Metal Forging through Eight-Color Thunder Tribulation, it inherently possesses the talent to absorb the power of laws.

Every attack from Qiangu Zhangting would have the power of laws mixed in with the moves quietly absorbed by it the moment they dissipated.

For it, the Coiling Dragon Staff was like an invisible Forging hammer, and the power of those laws was similar to the Elemental Thunder Tribulation it experienced when it was born.

Although it is not yet possible to determine exactly what changes have occurred, Bianka can clearly feel that with the integration of the power of the laws, her body is transforming in a better direction.

This is why it never defends or dodges – every attack from the Coiling Dragon Staff is like an invisible tempering of its body, making it stronger.

As for whether it might go too far, Bianka had no worries about that.

It's worth noting that all the scraps of Heaven-Forged Metal that Lufa failed to Forging ended up in its belly; occasionally, it would even sneak away a piece or two of successfully Forging Heaven-Forged Metal as an "extra meal."

Now, it is essentially a top-tier Divine Artifact, and destroying it would be no easy task.

Seeing the snow-white figure flapping its wings and charging towards him again, Qiangu Zhangting's face turned ashen.

He knew very well that he could not continue in this stalemate— the Indomitable Staff Technique, though powerful, was like a double-edged sword, rapidly depleting his Soul Power and Spiritual Power with each use.

So far, he has used three techniques in succession, but the Big White Goose in front of him is like a tough nut to crack, able to recover quickly no matter what kind of heavy blow it suffers, and even seems to be getting stronger with each fight.

It should be noted that he mastered a total of five forms of the Indomitable Staff Technique. The further he progressed, the stronger the power became, but the more terrifying the energy consumption also became.

If he fails to defeat his opponent before his Soul Power is exhausted, his offensive will inevitably decline after reaching its peak. At that time, let alone maintaining his advantage, it will be uncertain whether he can even gain a foothold.

"Shall we use the Soul-Absorbing Tablet?"

Qiangu Zhangting subconsciously touched the cold iron plaque in his arms, a hint of hesitation rising in his heart.

This was a guarantee he had specifically asked his great-grandfather for to ensure the success of the conference. However, the fact that he had to use such a precious trump card just to defeat a goose made him feel resentful.

"Try again!"

Qiangu Zhangting abruptly suppressed the urge to use his trump card, his eyes sharpening once more.

The Soul-Absorbing Tablet is far too precious; using it to deal with a metal creature would be a complete waste. At the very least, we should make him try one more time with all his might!

"Dragon Domain!"

With a low shout, Qiangu Zhangting suddenly raised his Coiling Dragon Staff high above his head. In an instant, dense white-gold dragon scales appeared on the surface of the staff.

At the same time, a dragon's roar resounded from his body, and the Domain Aura beneath his feet suddenly lit up. A white-gold pillar of light with a diameter of over ten zhang shot into the sky, enveloping his entire body.

This is his Three-word Battle Armor domain— Dragon Domain.

Unlike other custom-made Battle Armor for Spirit Master, this Three-word Battle Armor originates from the inheritance of the Qiangu Family. All Spirit Master with the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul who can cultivate to the Titled Douluo will wear this Battle Armor.

"Indomitable Staff Technique, Fourth Form: Heaven Opening and Earth Splitting!"

Terrifying energy gathered at the tip of the Coiling Dragon Staff, and platinum light surged across the entire arena like a tide, illuminating it as if it were daytime.

Qiangu Zhangting's figure blurred in the beam of light, only his hands, tightly gripping the long staff, unleashed a breathtaking power.

He charged at the oncoming Bianka, and suddenly swung his staff, the space seeming to be torn apart where the staff's shadow swept past.

A platinum dragon, over a hundred meters long, leaped from the staff, its Dragon Claw Sharpness as knives, its Dragon Breath carrying the power to incinerate everything, and charged fiercely toward the Big White Goose along with the Coiling Dragon Staff.

"Son~"

Faced with this devastating attack, Bianka changed her previous passive and defensive posture.

It suddenly raised its neck, revealing its orange-red beak, and pecked at the Coiling Dragon Staff and platinum dragon with incredible speed.

"Bang!"

A sharp, teeth-grinding clang rang out, like steel striking fragile porcelain.

The platinum dragon, which was almost solidified, shattered like glass the moment it touched the duck's beak, and golden light scattered like shooting stars.

Immediately afterwards, the Bianka's beak continued its downward momentum, slamming solidly into the shaft of the Coiling Dragon Staff staff.

"Puff--"

Qiangu Zhangting felt an immense force coming from the staff, as if he had struck an unshakeable mountain.

He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. He was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, tracing a messy arc in the air before crashing heavily into the protective shield and barely managing to regain his balance.

As he struggled to look at the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, he was shocked to find a very fine crack around the spot where the staff had collided with the duck's beak!

Damn it! Damn it!

As Qiangu Zhangting watched the snow-white figure swoop down again, his usual composure vanished like shattered glass, replaced by a look of near-loss of composure and vulnerability.

Keep in mind that this match is being broadcast live across the entire continent.

As the young master of the Qiangu Family, with a noble status and exceptional talent, it was already a great disgrace that he failed to capture a seemingly ordinary goose in front of so many people. Now, he was even repeatedly defeated by the other party, which was simply a humiliation of trampling on his dignity.

In particular, the Coiling Dragon Staff was even pecked open by the opponent, leaving a crack. This kind of damage to the Martial Soul is not so easy to heal, and it will inevitably become a hindrance to him in subsequent matches, affecting his performance.

"You asked for this!"

Qiangu Zhangting roared fiercely in his heart, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

Today, he must kill this arrogant Big White Goose no matter what, otherwise, this matter will become a laughing stock across the entire continent, and he will have nowhere to put his face.

Not to mention, how would Gu Yuena, whom he had always admired, view him if she saw this scene?

"Indomitable Staff Technique, Fifth Form: Change Heaven and Earth!"

A platinum-gold light suddenly shone around him. This time, the light did not transform into a sharp attack, but spread outwards like a tide, and wherever it passed, the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be disrupted.

An invisible force spread out, temporarily imprisoning this area.

"Son~"

The Bianka let out a clear cry, and it clearly felt that the surrounding air had become incredibly viscous, as if it had sunk into an invisible swamp.

Its body, which had been moving as fast as lightning, was frozen in place by this strange force. The flapping of its wings became smaller and smaller, and its speed suddenly decreased.

A ruthless glint flashed in Qiangu Zhangting's eyes as he swiftly took something from his robes.

It was a hexagonal object, grayish all over, looking like an inconspicuous piece of scrap metal, completely devoid of luster.

However, the moment it was taken out by Qiangu Zhangting, the light on the Competition Platform, which had been dazzlingly bright with the light of various Spirit Skill, suddenly dimmed without warning.

It wasn't a gradual darkening, but a sudden dimming, as if day had turned into evening in an instant.

The "iron plaque" slowly floated up from Qiangu Zhangting's hand, drifting gently in mid-air. Then, it began to enlarge rapidly at an astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths, the original palm-sized iron plate transformed into a giant shield with a diameter of ten meters, hovering steadily in mid-air, facing the direction of Bianka without any deviation.

On the surface of the iron plate, a strange snake appeared. The snake Distortion its body, and its entire body was grayish-black. The snake's head was huge and was located in the center of the iron plate.
