Qiangu Zhangting's Public Humiliation

"Soul-Absorbing Tablet, soul-capturing!"

Qiangu Zhangting's voice, carrying an almost ferocious resolve, echoed across the dimly lit Competition Platform.

As he shouted, the gray-black giant snake pattern coiled in the center of the huge iron plate suspended in mid-air suddenly lit up with a terrifying Red Light in its previously empty eye sockets.

What eyes they were!

They were two pure, blood-red spheres, so deep they resembled two crimson vortexes leading to an unknown Abyss, radiating a terrifying power capable of directly penetrating flesh and sucking away human souls.

Just looking into those eyes is enough to make the weak-willed tremble, as if they are about to be devoured in the next second.

Moreover, behind that enormous Soul-Absorbing Tablet, space slightly Distortion, and a phantom figure, hundreds of meters tall, appeared and disappeared.

The figure was shrouded in a hazy, gray-black mist, obscuring its features. Only a head of long hair, writhing like a living creature, stood out—it was a series of ferocious giant snakes, intertwined and hissing.

Her eyes, also a deep red filled with endless darkness, echoed the eyes of the giant snake on the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, radiating a chilling pressure that could freeze one's soul.

The God of Sin: Medusa!

As the phantom of Medusa opened its eyes, the Bianka, which had been imprisoned in place, suddenly stiffened, as if it had been frozen in mid-air. The light in its bright eyes dimmed instantly, as if it had truly been completely controlled by some invisible force.

Standing on the back of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, Qiangu Zhangting took in the entire scene. His tightly clenched lips finally curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile of relief.

He knew very well that using the Soul-Absorbing Tablet to deal with a Big White Goose was a waste of talent, even like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

But he had no choice. Gu Yuena held too much weight in his heart, so much so that he couldn't bear the possibility of losing her.

To demonstrate his strength in front of her and to avoid becoming a laughingstock, he was willing to pay any price, let alone use a trump card Divine Artifact.

This Soul-Absorbing Tablet is no ordinary object; it is a true divine Divine Artifact! Because its origin lies in a fallen Godhood — Medusa.

The card contains a wisp of extremely faint yet incredibly pure divine Divine Power, and it is this Divine Power that gives it its terrifying might.

However, each time the Soul-Absorbing Tablet is used, countless sacrifices are required. These sacrifices are not gold or silver treasures, but living beings, used to appease the Remnant Soul of the God of Sin hidden inside the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, maintaining its existence and power.

To maintain this Soul-Absorbing Tablet, the Qiangu Family has slaughtered countless powerful Soul Beast over the years.

Once unleashed, anything below the Limit Douluo level under its power will have virtually no chance of survival and will undoubtedly die.

Even when facing Demigod- level powerhouse, it can inflict severe damage, leaving the opponent severely injured, if not dead, then half-skinned. It is the true trump card of the Qiangu Family.

At this moment, the Bianka, illuminated by the Red Light of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, became increasingly dazed, as if it had lost all its senses.

Its snow-white feathers were gradually enveloped in an eerie gray light, exuding a deathly aura. Clearly, it had been controlled by the power of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

Strangely, the Bianka did not fall as expected. Instead, it began to walk slowly and mechanically toward the giant Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

Hmm! Shall we go?

Upon seeing this, Qiangu Zhangting's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed instantly, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.

According to the historical records of the Qiangu Family, any living being illuminated by the Red Light of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet would be completely petrified by the power originating from the Godhood within a short period of time. Subsequently, their life force would be forcibly Deprivation, and they would eventually turn into a handful of dust, completely disappearing into the world without leaving a trace.

But how can this Big White Goose still move?

"Is the record incorrect? No, the family history records would never be wrong in this regard."

Qiangu Zhangting couldn't help but mutter to himself. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

After all, in the long history of the Qiangu Family, the Soul-Absorbing Tablet was a taboo item, used very few times, and each use was accompanied by a huge price and impact.

Even he himself was using this Divine Artifact for the first time in a real sense, and he didn't actually fully understand its specific power and the details of its function.

"Perhaps it's because it's a metal creation, not a human, that the situation is different." After pondering for a moment, Qiangu Zhangting could only console himself with this thought, forcing himself to find a seemingly reasonable explanation.

"However, even if you are made of metal, the outcome will not change."

A hint of pleasure and coldness flashed in his eyes. Regardless of the process, judging from the current situation, the Big White Goose had clearly been affected by the power of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet and had lost its ability to resist.

So, all he had to do next was wait patiently for the other party to be completely reduced to dust under the power of the Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

As for whether using the Soul-Absorbing Tablet would be against the rules?

The rules of the Martial Arts Matchmaking Convention clearly state that there are no restrictions on participants using weapons, Battle Armor, Mecha, or other auxiliary items.

As a Divine Artifact, the Soul-Absorbing Tablet naturally falls under the category of weapons. His use of it was entirely in accordance with the rules, and no one could find fault with it.

Although the Soul-Absorbing Tablet itself exudes a strong evil aura and does look somewhat terrifying, so what?

As long as the media department of the Spirit Pagoda does a little work to guide public opinion afterward, this matter will be quickly covered up and will not have any substantial impact on him or the Qiangu Family.

However, just as Qiangu Zhangting was figuring out how to quell the potential storm through media relations, a sudden change occurred!

"Son~"

The previously dull-looking, deathly Bianka suddenly burst forth with dazzling light in its eyes, like two rising suns.

Its gray-stained body visibly shed its gloom, regaining its previous pristine whiteness, even more dazzling than before, as if a holy radiance flowed between its feathers.

At the same time, a thick, grayish-black stream of air suddenly surged out from its body, Distortion and condensing in mid-air, transforming into a blurry and mournful female head.

The image was a miniature of Medusa, the God of Sin, but now her face was filled with terror, and she let out a heart-wrenching, piercing scream filled with extreme fear, as if she had encountered the most terrible thing in the world.

"Gah!"

Then, the Bianka let out a completely different cry, and the next moment, a dazzling eight-colored light suddenly appeared on its seemingly ordinary beak.

Red, yellow, blue, green, gold, black, silver, and purple—eight colors intertwined and flowed, radiating an indescribable, immense power, before ruthlessly pecking at the enormous Soul-Absorbing Tablet.

"Click!"

A crisp, piercing cracking sound rang out, and the seemingly indestructible Soul-Absorbing Tablet, with a diameter of ten meters, instantly developed Sisi cracks on its front under the seemingly inconspicuous peck of the duck's beak.

These cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire surface of the card in the blink of an eye.

In mid-air, the hundred-meter-tall phantom of Medusa sensed the danger to her Original Body and let out a terrifying scream filled with pain and rage.

She waved her long hair, composed of giant snakes, in an attempt to block, seemingly making a final struggle.

Unfortunately, she was ultimately just a phantom existing on the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, not a true Godhood descending, and thus unable to stop Bianka's attack.

Moreover, her Petrification Curse, which she was famous for, was completely ineffective against Bianka, as if it Ocean.

Medusa's phantom could only watch helplessly as her Original Body —the enormous Soul-Absorbing Tablet —shattered inch by inch under the impact of the Eight-Colored Light, eventually turning into dozens of fragments of varying sizes that scattered everywhere.

As her Original Body shattered, she let out a desperate wail and vanished completely into the air.

"Gagaga~"

The Bianka flapped its wings triumphantly, letting out a joyful cry. Then, it opened its mouth and took a deep breath.

The next second, the fragments shattered from the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, as well as the grayish-white air currents that filled the air, were all drawn in by an invisible force and eagerly swallowed into its belly, as if it were enjoying a delicious meal.

"No--"

Qiangu Zhangting's eyes widened in horror, and he let out a desperate roar. Almost at the same time, Qiangu Dongfeng on the Presidium also changed his expression drastically, stood up abruptly, and also let out a shout full of horror and anger.

But it was all too late. The Qiangu Family Divine Artifact passed down through generations— the Soul-Absorbing Tablet —had been swallowed whole by the Big White Goose and vanished without a trace.

"Gagaga~"

The only response they received was the mocking and sarcastic cry of the Bianka, as if laughing at their overestimation of their abilities.

Soul-stealing?

This is an absolute joke! The Bianka itself is equivalent to a top-tier divine Divine Artifact, and it is like a spirit of that Divine Artifact.

Using the Remnant Soul of a Divine Artifact to cast a soul-capturing spell on the Artifact Spirit of another top-tier Divine Artifact —isn't that a joke?

Not to mention, Bianka, as Clone of Nan Fusheng, possesses a portion of "His" Divinity within her. To cast a curse on such an existence is like showing off one's axe in front of Guan Yu—purely courting death!

Even by human standards of Spiritual Power, Bianka's Spiritual Power is only at the Spirit Domain. However, as Nan Fusheng's Clone, its Sequence Status is far higher than imagined, and it is definitely not something that a mere Remnant Soul of Medusa could possibly compete with.

Its previous dazed and controlled appearance was merely a disguise. Its purpose was to lull Qiangu Zhangting into a false sense of security, gradually approach the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, and then unexpectedly devour this Divine Artifact.

After all, this Soul-Absorbing Tablet is the most treasured artifact of the Qiangu Family. If it had revealed its true strength from the beginning, Qiangu Dongfeng on the Presidium might have intervened to stop it.

Therefore, it deliberately pretends to be controlled to lower the other party's guard, all for the sake of taking that fatal bite and swallowing this "nourishment" that has been delivered to its doorstep!

"You beast, spit it out!"

Qiangu Zhangting's eyes were bloodshot as he let out a deafening roar. He was furious and disregarded everything else. He suddenly summoned the cracked Coiling Dragon Staff and smashed it down on Bianka without any regard for anything else.

That Soul-Absorbing Tablet is one of the treasures passed down through generations of their Qiangu Family, embodying the hard work of several generations. If it were lost, the loss to the clan would be immeasurable.

Even though it's already broken into pieces, it must be recovered; it absolutely cannot end up in the belly of that damned Big White Goose!

Enraged, Qiangu Zhangting was blinded by anger and forgot that his Soul Power had been almost completely depleted in the previous fierce battle.

He had only one thought in his mind: to cut open the Big White Goose and take out the fragments belonging to the Qiangu Family!

"Son~"

Bianka watched Qiangu Zhangting rush towards her with a ferocious expression, like a madman, a faint Red Light flashed in her clear eyes, but it quickly faded away.

Since the Soul -Soul-Absorbing Tablet has already been swallowed and used by it, it would be too dishonest to completely destroy Qiangu Zhangting because of it.

Then, the Bianka suddenly flapped its broad wings. In the next moment, the three elements of wind, earth, and light suddenly converged, weaving into a Berserk Elemental Storm in front of it, instantly obscuring its figure and that of the Qiangu Zhangting, cutting off its view from the outside world.

"Bang! Bang! Smack! Smack!"

A series of dense and chaotic collisions and strikes came from the Elemental Storm, interspersed with Qiangu Zhangting's heart-wrenching cries and angry curses.

But the sound didn't last long; it quickly subsided, as if completely swallowed by the storm.

As the lingering elemental dust gradually dissipated, the figures of Bianka and Qiangu Zhangting reappeared in everyone's sight, and a spectacle that would leave everyone speechless was instantly presented to the eyes of hundreds of millions of Spectator.

The once imposing Three-word Battle Armor on Qiangu Zhangting's body was now in tatters, and the clothes underneath were torn to shreds and covered in dust and grime.

He lay face down on the ground in a spread-eagle position, motionless, clearly unconscious.

On his back, the large, pure Big White Goose stood firmly on his body, its long neck held high, its posture extremely arrogant, like a king who had just won a victory.

But that wasn't the focus of everyone's attention. What truly caused an uproar was that the clothes on the back of Qiangu Zhangting were also badly damaged, leaving a bare, upturned buttock exposed to the sky, clearly visible to countless cameras both inside and outside the arena.

"Smack!"

As if that wasn't enough, the Bianka, raised a large duck leg and slapped his smooth, white, upturned rump hard. Then, it raised its head and let out a clear, distinct cry, "Upturned rump! Upturned rump!"

"Click! Click! Click!" Almost simultaneously, countless rapid camera shutter sounds rang out around the arena.

Photographers from major media outlets had already set their lenses on this once-in-a-century scene, afraid of missing any detail, and were determined to permanently Record this classic moment that would be etched into the history of the Douluo Continent.

A Big White Goose formed from Heaven-Forged Metal defeated Super Douluo clad in Three-word Battle Armor! This was undoubtedly a massive news story that would shake the entire continent.

"Wow!!!"

Meanwhile, in the Spectator, many female Spectator couldn't help but scream. Their cheeks flushed, and their eyes held a hint of shyness, yet they couldn't help but stare intently at the unexpectedly exposed part of Qiangu Zhangting.

To be fair, Qiangu Zhangting's appearance was already outstanding. Coupled with his noble status as the young master of the Spirit Pagoda and his powerful strength Super Douluo, he had already accumulated a lot of loyal female fans during this Martial Arts Matchmaking Convention.

Seeing his fair and shapely buttocks in person, these female fans could no longer contain their excitement, their faces flushed with elation.

"Zhangting!"

On the Presidium, Qiangu Dongfeng's face was ashen. He could no longer contain himself and appeared on the Competition Platform in a flash.

Seeing Qiangu Dongfeng's gloomy face, Bianka immediately jumped off Qiangu Zhangting, walked to the side, and put on a well-behaved and harmless appearance.

Qiangu Dongfeng gave Bianka a deep look, a complex light flashing in his eyes, containing anger, resentment, and a hint of barely perceptible apprehension.

But in the end he said nothing—this Big White Goose had defeated Qiangu Zhangting, and under the watchful eyes of hundreds of millions of Spectator across the continent, he absolutely could not make a move at this moment for the sake of the Spirit Pagoda's reputation, otherwise it would only make his family and the Spirit Pagoda an even bigger laughingstock.

So, Qiangu Dongfeng quickly took out a large black robe from his Storage Soul Tool and, with slightly stiff movements, covered Qiangu Zhangting's body from head to toe, trying his best to conceal the embarrassing scene.

Then, Qiangu Dongfeng carefully helped the unconscious Qiangu Zhangting up, and with a flash, he took him away from the Competition Platform and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The most important thing right now is to get Qiangu Zhangting away from this place of trouble as soon as possible to prevent this scandal from escalating and spreading further.

After the Qiangu Dongfeng departed, a powerful figure from the War God Temple walked onto the arena with an expressionless face and announced the final result of the match in a loud and clear voice, "The first match of the second round of the Round-Robin Tournament, Bianka wins!"

In this Martial Arts Matchmaking Convention, Fu Xuan, Lufa, and others were primarily acting as supervisors, responsible for ensuring that the Spirit Pagoda would not openly cheat.

Therefore, the role of referee during the competition is basically taken turns by personnel from the War God Temple and the Spirit Pagoda to ensure relative fairness.

Following the referee's announcement, the entire stadium fell into a brief silence before erupting into thunderous cheers and murmurs.

This seemingly one-sided match ended in such a dramatic way, undoubtedly leaving an indelible impression on all Spectator.
