Yu Xiaogang's Reputation Ruined, Achievement Reward!

Yu Xiaogang's reputation ruined, achievement reward!

Deprive him of his status?

And hang him on the walls of Martial Soul City?

No, this is absolutely impossible. If this happens, my dignity will cease to exist!

Yu Xiaogang began to struggle violently. At first, he had almost given up, knowing that no matter how hard he fought, he could not break free from the hands of two Title Douluo like Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

Now, he could no longer care about such things. As soon as his mind flickered with the thought of what he would face, an endless surge of power within his body supported his desperate resistance.

"Be quiet!"

Yue Guan gave a light shout.

Feeling Yu Xiaogang's struggle intensify, he increased the pressure in his grip, and the sound of dislocating bones became clearly audible.

Yu Xiaogang gasped, cold sweat pouring down his forehead in large beads, his eyes bulging like a bull's.

"I, Yu Xiaogang, am an honorary elder of Martial Soul Hall! You cannot treat me like this!" Yu Xiaogang roared in a low voice.

Having spent his entire life chasing fame and reputation, Yu Xiaogang could not accept the punishment of being hung on the city walls.

Qian Renyu ignored Yu Xiaogang's low growls, casting a faint glance toward Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

"The decree has been issued. Why have you not executed the order?!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei shivered in unison, looking toward Bibi Dong with a sense of trepidation.

While watching Bibi Dong's reaction, they dragged Yu Xiaogang toward the exit of the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, staring fixedly at Qian Renyu's reaction, the method of punishment echoing in her ears.

"This is your method of punishment?"

"Yu Xiaogang is right; he is an honorary elder of our Martial Soul Hall!"

"Regardless of whether what he did betrayed our Martial Soul Hall, if we treat a former hero this way, do you want to throw Martial Soul Hall into turmoil?!"

Bibi Dong scolded.

Her body turned into a blur, blocking the path of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

Not to mention that Yu Xiaogang could not accept such a punishment, she could not accept it either.

Once his reputation was completely destroyed, Bibi Dong could not imagine how she could ever rekindle her past relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

Even if she reclaimed the throne and ascended as empress, she would ultimately remain a subject of controversy unless she killed everyone in the world.

But there were countless commoners in the world, and Bibi Dong knew that killing everyone was absolutely impossible.

Qian Renyu paced toward Bibi Dong. He did not stop in front of her, but as he passed, he whispered:

"How to deal with Yu Xiaogang is my arrangement!"

"If you want to stop me, then clarify your own status before you speak such words!"

"Someone who doesn't even have a status is not worthy of pointing fingers in front of me!"

Yue Guan and Gui Mei let out a long sigh of relief. As Qian Renyu neutralized the aura emanating from Bibi Dong, the two felt the heavy stone in their hearts crash to the ground with a thud.

Daring not to linger in the Pope's Palace any longer, they dragged Yu Xiaogang away and flew rapidly toward the walls of Martial Soul City.

Qian Renyu watched Yue Guan and Gui Mei depart. Ignoring Bibi Dong's reaction, he followed them toward the city walls.

Watching the scene of Yu Xiaogang's total ruin would be a pleasant pastime.

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed into slits, cold killing intent flickering within them again and again.

Dragons have reverse scales; touch them, and they will surely rage.

People have reverse scales too, and Yu Xiaogang was the reverse scale in Bibi Dong's heart.

Bibi Dong gripped the Pope's Scepter tightly, her teeth grinding together.

Hearing Qian Renyu mention the issue of 'status' again, she longed to unleash all her power right then and there to kill him.

"Damn it! Truly damn it!"

"The position of Pope, the position of Pope—I must take this position back as soon as possible!"

"He has only just ascended, and he has already completely ignored the status I bestowed upon Yu Xiaogang back then!"

"He didn't kill Yu Xiaogang directly; he must still be wary of my other status. As long as I succeed, I can reverse all of this!"

Bibi Dong roared in her heart.

Her body trembled uncontrollably, her anger nearly bursting through the heavens.

Suppressing all the fury in her heart, Bibi Dong glared one last time at the direction Qian Renyu had left.

No longer lingering, and knowing that Yu Xiaogang's life was not in immediate danger, she turned and headed back to her residence.

Half an incense stick later.

Atop the towering walls of Martial Soul City.

There were many soul masters coming and going, and just as many merchants passing through.

It was currently the period of the Soul Master Tournament finals, and soul masters from all over the continent had come to Martial Soul City to witness the event.

At this moment, many passersby stopped at the city walls, their eyes filled with strange gazes as they looked at the person hanging there.

His hands were bound by thick hemp rope, and his simple green robes showed no signs of luxury as he dangled in the air.

With his hair cut into a short buzz, there wasn't a single strand to cover his face, leaving it clearly exposed to the view of everyone below.

Feeling the barrage of strange gazes locked onto him, Yu Xiaogang's breathing grew rapid, and a sense of humiliation washed over his entire body.

"What's going on? Who is this person? How could he be hung on the city wall? This is Martial Soul City!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Loose lips sink ships. This person must have committed a grave offense, otherwise, he wouldn't be hung up like this."

"That's right, that's right. You might not have noticed, but the ones who hung him up just now were two Title Douluo from Martial Soul Hall."

"Hiss—a Title Douluo personally hung him up? Did this man commit some heaven-shaking crime?"

"You guys don't know? This man is named Yu Xiaogang, the one who relies on the 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls' to swindle people across the Douluo Continent. I heard he's also an honorary elder of Martial Soul Hall, which is why he's receiving this punishment."

"Buddy, how do you know this? Do you have inside information? How are you so clear about it?"

"Of course I have inside information. My second grand-uncle's third nephew's son's classmate's aunt's brother-in-law's own father works in the Martial Soul Hall guard, and they told me all of this."

"Brother, tell me more, tell me more."

The sounds of conversation rose and fell.

It is human nature to gossip.

With Yu Xiaogang hanging on the city wall like this.

Those passing by and those stopping here all had their desire for gossip fully ignited.

Looking back through history, it seemed Martial Soul Hall had never hung someone on the city walls like this before.

Such a sudden event made it impossible for them not to be curious.

Yu Xiaogang's heart was as dead as ash.

Many people were not speaking quietly, and he was, after all, a Soul Grand Master of a certain level.

To some extent, he could still hear some of the chatter.

Hearing the people below the wall talking about him, Yu Xiaogang felt that the entire world was filled with sin.

Looking down at the people below the wall, his sense of humiliation neared an explosion.

For now, I can only endure being pointed at by these people. Perhaps I will only be let down once Tang San and the others arrive in Martial Soul City!

But Tang San and the others might not have the ability to go head-to-head with that guy Qian Renyu. The only one who could possibly manage it should be Haotian.

If Haotian is willing to intervene, then I might still have a glimmer of hope!

Yu Xiaogang's mind was filled with wild thoughts.

Thinking of the existence of Tang Hao, a look of earnestness involuntarily appeared in his eyes.

The rapid breathing caused by humiliation now turned into rapid breathing caused by hope.

Qian Renyu watched all of this with indifference.

Standing at a distance, watching the shift in Yu Xiaogang's demeanor, a faint, cold sneer curled the corners of his lips.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Punish Yu Xiaogang' achievement. Achievement rewards are being distributed!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the auxiliary ability of the Martial Soul 'Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter'—Redemption!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the exclusive ability 'Redemption', congratulations to the host for mastering the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, and congratulations to the host for obtaining all the abilities of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter.]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the auxiliary abilities of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the auxiliary Martial Soul abilities: Divine Artifact, Sword of Doom and Slaughter; Divine Artifact, Armor of Doom and Slaughter!]

Achievement rewards?

Qian Renyu was slightly surprised.

The system's sudden prompt shifted his thoughts from Yu Xiaogang back to himself.

Punishing Yu Xiaogang actually counts as an achievement task? And it even allowed me to fully master the abilities of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter?

Not only that, but after mastering all the abilities of the throne, it counts as completely controlling it, and I can even obtain the transformation abilities of the throne?

The Sword of Doom and Slaughter and the Armor of Doom and Slaughter—these two divine artifacts transformed from the throne are like adding wings to a tiger for me!

Qian Renyu sighed slightly, took one last look at Yu Xiaogang, and turned to head back toward the Pope's Palace.

Compared to the matter of Yu Xiaogang, the two divine artifacts he had suddenly obtained from the throne were more important.

Returning to the Pope's Palace, Qian Renyu didn't waste any words; a red halo enveloped the entire palace.

In the next second, the brilliant golden Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter appeared silently from the void.

Qian Renyu looked at the brilliant golden throne before him, sat down upon it, placed his hands on the armrests, and a brilliant light erupted from his eyes.

"Divine Throne, Armor Transformation!!"
