Watching Tang Hao descend from the sky, radiating killing intent.

Stelle merely cast a faint, indifferent glance at him with her deep, dark eyes.

The images displayed on the Sky Screen earlier had already left her feeling stifled and frustrated.

Now, someone actually dared to come knocking on her door to kill her.

Wasn't this just a punching bag delivering itself to her doorstep?

Seeing Tang Hao swing that thousand-pound Clear Sky Hammer, smashing it fiercely toward her.

Stelle stepped forward directly, swinging the baseball bat in her hand to meet it.

"Clang!"

The deafening sound of metal clashing caused the entire Heaven Dou City to tremble slightly.

The baseball bat and the Clear Sky Hammer collided violently.

The result was as one might expect; Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer, renowned as indestructible, was no match for Stelle's bat.

It shattered into a sky full of fragments on the spot, as if it were nothing more than shoddy construction!

Tang Hao spat out a massive mouthful of blood, his eyes turning blood-red, his face a mask of disbelief.

He didn't even have time to scream, "Impossible!"

After smashing the Clear Sky Hammer to pieces, Stelle's bat carried a fierce gale as it slammed heavily into his body.

"Thud!"

A muffled sound echoed.

Tang Hao was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, transforming into a streak of blood as he was launched into the distance, eventually vanishing into the horizon.

Those watching from the surroundings all gasped in horror, their faces turning deathly pale.

Stelle had beaten Tang Hao into a state where his life or death was unknown with a single strike.

This strength was simply terrifying to an inconceivable degree!

It also confirmed to everyone that Stelle's so-called semi-god strength was absolutely not something the Title Douluo of the Douluo Continent could compare to.

In the distance, Qian Renxue, along with Cixue and Snake Lance Douluo by her side, all saw their pupils constrict, their faces filled with shock.

That was Tang Hao!

The Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect!

Yet, he had been beaten so easily by Stelle that he had no power to fight back.

No, it should be said he had been crippled in one blow!

Qian Renxue's gaze turned toward the direction where Tang Hao had fallen.

Tang Hao's body there was twisted and deformed, his limbs swollen; where was there any trace of a Title Douluo left?

Especially his torso, at the spot where Stelle's bat had struck his waist.

That incomparably precious torso spirit bone had actually shattered completely, dim and lusterless, having lost all its power.

Qian Renxue's heart trembled, and she secretly made up her mind.

She would absolutely never provoke such a god of slaughter!

Inside the hotel, Tang San saw his father sent flying by a single strike.

His eyes widened instantly, bloodshot and filled with a hatred so intense it threatened to overflow.

Possessing the Purple Demon Eye, his vision far exceeded that of an ordinary person, allowing him to see things both far and in great detail.

He clearly saw the moment Stelle's bat struck Tang Hao.

Tang Hao's entire chest cavity had caved in and deformed, the bones within shattering inch by inch.

The jagged bone fragments had even pierced through his chest, damaging his internal organs.

Tang San knew very well that unless some miracle of life occurred, his father would certainly not survive!

He let out a heart-wrenching roar.

That was his only remaining family in this world!

He had finally reunited with his father after so much difficulty.

How could he just stand by and watch his father suffer such a fate?

Killing intent surged in Tang San's eyes; he longed to rush out immediately and kill the Stelle who dared to harm his father.

But before he could take a step.

Xiao Wu, standing to the side, realized the gravity of the situation.

If Tang San were to truly rush out, it would undoubtedly be like a lamb entering a tiger's den—he would surely die!

Thus, she hurriedly lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Tang San's waist, using all her strength to pin him inside the room.

At this moment, Tang San, though enraged to the extreme.

Yet, she was still held back firmly by Xiao Wu, unable to rush out and fight Stelle to the death.

"Whew... that felt great!!"

Stelle shook her wrists, watching the direction in which Tang Hao had disappeared, her mood instantly lightening significantly.

The pent-up frustration she had felt over the matter of Firefly had also dissipated quite a bit.

Although the story of Penacony still had many regrets.

After the story of Amphoreus concluded, Dahlia had taken her to see a sliver of the divine body of Terminus.

Stelle had also borrowed the power of Terminus to make up for all those regrets.

Firefly had already awakened.

She no longer had to be so sorrowful.

After all, this was not the ending Firefly had wanted to see.

Meanwhile, the voting on the Sky Screen continued.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest, numerous Soul Beasts glared angrily at the image of Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen.

This Xiao Wu had actually chosen to sacrifice herself for a human!

She was simply a traitor among their Soul Beast kind!

One must know that, tracing back twenty thousand years.

The entire Douluo Continent had basically been the territory of their Soul Beasts.

It was only later that two super-powerhouses emerged among humans—Poseidon, who would become the Sea God in the future, and the first-generation Angel God.

They led humanity in launching a brutal war against the Soul Beasts.

They forced the Soul Beasts into a steady retreat, until they were finally reduced to hiding in the Star Dou Forest and a few other Soul Beast habitats.

At that time, countless Soul Beasts had died tragically under the butcher's knives of humans.

Over these many years, how many times had human powerhouses intruded into their homes and slaughtered their kin?

Soul Beasts and humans were inherently irreconcilable!

How could those Soul Beasts who had gained sentience ever cast their votes for Xiao Wu?

Moreover, Soul Beasts had always worshipped the strong.

Although Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, her true form was merely a Soft Bone Rabbit.

She probably couldn't even defeat some ten-thousand-year combat-type Soul Beasts.

As for Firefly's strength, it was plain for all to see.

Based on this strength alone, if they didn't vote for Firefly, who would they vote for?

The minds of Soul Beasts were simple by nature.

With almost no hesitation, they all cast their votes for Firefly in unison.

This was also the reason why Firefly's vote count had been far in the lead from the very beginning.

Seeing Firefly's vote count so high.

Most of those among the humans who were still hesitating also developed a herd mentality.

Seeing that everyone else was voting for Firefly, they began to feel that Firefly's story was more moving and her sacrifice greater.

Thus, they followed suit and voted for Firefly.

The final result, therefore, went without saying.

[Firefly's Three Deaths vs. Xiao Wu's Sacrifice]

[Firefly's Three Deaths, a complete victory over Xiao Wu's Sacrifice]

[Genius Ranking PK Round 1: Top 1 Star wins]

[Top 3 Tang San fails]

[Tang San fails, please accept the punishment: Deprivation of the External Soul Bone, Eight Spider Lances!]

The voice of the Sky Screen was cold and merciless, clearly spreading to every corner of the Douluo Continent, reaching the ears of all living beings.

And the image on the Sky Screen shifted abruptly at this moment.

The camera focused on a hotel room in Heaven Dou City.

In the image, Tang San was being held firmly down on the sofa by Xiao Wu, his face twisted with ferocity and unwillingness, as if he were struggling to do something insane.

Just then, the Sky Screen's punishment descended as scheduled.

Tang San's body was suddenly locked by an invisible force, slowly hovering into mid-air.

Although Tang San had been caught in a frenzy just a moment ago, he had been keeping an eye on the developments of the Sky Screen.

When he heard that he was to be deprived of his External Soul Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, he was immediately heartbroken, letting out a hysterical roar, his heart filled with unwillingness and rage.

But the Sky Screen ignored his roar entirely, as the cold power acted directly upon him.

The Eight Spider Lances, an External Soul Bone on Tang San's back, extended uncontrollably, shimmering with an eerie black light.

Immediately after, it felt as if eight invisible hands had grabbed hold of his Eight Spider Lances with brutal force.

Riiip—

A teeth-grinding sound echoed through the air.

The Eight Spider Lances were forcibly torn right off Tang San's back!

Tang San let out a shrill, miserable scream, his entire body convulsing violently as he nearly fainted from the agony.

Outside the Sky Screen, everyone witnessed the gruesome sight of Tang San having his soul bone ripped out alive.

Many were left trembling in fear at the ruthlessness and decisiveness of the Sky Screen.

Of course, there were also many who felt a sense of joy, secretly cheering at the sight.

A soul bone held immense significance for any soul master.

Now that Tang San had lost this Eight Spider Lances soul bone, his path to godhood in the future would undoubtedly become incredibly difficult.

Within Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong watched this scene and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

After the Sky Screen's punishment concluded.

Tang San's body slammed heavily onto the ground.

Although his soul bone had been forcibly extracted, the parts of his ribs previously replaced by the Eight Spider Lances had regrown their original bones.

It was just that these newly grown bones no longer possessed their former formidable power, and it was impossible for them to ever transform into the Eight Spider Lances again.

Tang San had not yet lost consciousness; though he was utterly exhausted and drenched in blood.

He still used his last ounce of strength to scream at the direction of the Sky Screen, his heart-wrenching cry echoing:

"You trash-picking..."

However, his roar could not travel beyond this small room.

On the other side, Stelle lifted her head, staring longingly at the Sky Screen, her face full of anticipation.

Now that the punishment for Tang San was over, was it finally time for her reward?

What would her reward be?

Stelle felt that there was nothing in this world that could truly move her.

Could it be a few more tickets for the Astral Express?

Or perhaps another ten-pull?

She wondered who would be summoned over this time.

Beside her, Castorice was also filled with anticipation.

So much had been sacrificed during the Journey of Flame-Chasing.

How she wished that her former comrades-in-arms could appear here.

To live a carefree life together with them.

To enjoy this alternative kind of peace.

The Sky Screen did not dawdle for long.

After swiftly finishing the punishment for Tang San, new content immediately appeared upon the Sky Screen.

Stelle's eyes widened instantly, her face etched with surprise and disbelief.

Happiness had arrived so suddenly that she was caught off guard, left momentarily stunned.

Her lips trembled slightly, and from her dry throat, she softly breathed out two words:

"Firefly..."
