As the second round of the Round-Robin Tournament came to an end, all manner of gossip about Qiangu Zhangting swept across the continent like a tidal wave, becoming the hottest topic in streets and alleys alike.
Editors from every major media outlet seemed to have caught the scent of the most enticing story, rushing to publish related reports with extravagantly exaggerated headlines and coverage.
"Shocking! Qiangu Zhangting—the foremost of the Spirit Pagoda's current Four Great Spirit Envoys—actually exposed his... before the eyes of the entire continent at the highly anticipated Martial Arts Marriage Tournament! Is this a distortion of humanity, or a collapse of morality?!"
Such an inflammatory headline, paired with that deliberately chosen photograph, instantly ignited countless people's curiosity.
Another report focused on the shocking nature of the match itself:
"Astonishing! A Heaven-Forged creation actually defeated a Super Douluo wearing Three-Word Battle Armor! This is not merely the victory of a single match—it heralds how a new generation of God Craftsmen may completely reshape the entire forging world, bringing unprecedented change to the field of forging!"
Some went even further, writing in an almost teasing tone, "A gift of love! The Spirit Pagoda's 'perky butt' truly lives up to its name! As expected of the Spirit Pagoda's young master—even in the humiliating plight of defeat, he could still attract the attention of countless ignorant young girls with the unique charm of his 'rear'..."
Some smaller media workshops were even bolder in their reporting, going so far as to bestow Qiangu Zhangting with the indecent nickname "the Spirit Pagoda's Little prince of Perky Butts."
Although the Spirit Pagoda's media division swiftly used its influence to suppress the title by force, it still spread quietly through limited circles like wildfire for a short time, becoming a private joke for many.
