Star Official Challenge, Everyone is Stronger Than Tang San

Hu Liena and Ghost heard this and both looked toward the direction of the arena.

Ghost saw that Yue Guan's spiritual power had been thwarted and dared not probe further.

He suggested, "Nana, Yue Guan, since this place is strange, why don't we leave as soon as possible?"

Yue Guan nodded in agreement.

An expert far stronger than him appearing here was definitely not right.

Hu Liena took out the Star Feather, holding it in her hand as she felt the profound power radiating from within.

She gazed solemnly toward the silver-haired man on the prayer mat in the center of the arena, scrutinizing his handsome face before swallowing hard and saying:

"Chrysanthemum Grandpa, Ghost Grandpa, perhaps this senior means us no harm."

"Let us go over and take a look, and while we're at it, ask exactly what this Star Feather and the Star Official Challenge are."

As she spoke, Hu Liena stepped forward and walked toward the arena.

Yue Guan looked at Ghost with lingering fear, and after a moment of hesitation, the two followed her.

On the prayer mat, Lin Feng caught a glimpse of the three approaching through the slit of his eyes and straightened his posture.

Before long, Hu Liena, Yue Guan, and Ghost arrived before him.

Hu Liena held the golden Star Feather in her hand and nodded at the wary Yue Guan and Ghost.

She bowed slightly and said respectfully:

"Hu Liena pays her respects to you, Senior!"

Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes, and the moment he saw Hu Liena directly, he was truly stunned by her beauty.

He secretly compared her to the actresses he had seen on screen in his past life and found that she completely outclassed them.

Maintaining a calm exterior with eyes as still as an ancient well, he said indifferently:

"Hu Liena, congratulations on being one of the three lucky individuals chosen today!"

"All unrelated personnel must leave the arena immediately so that you may begin the Star Official Challenge!"

Yue Guan and Ghost stood on either side of Hu Liena, neither having any intention of leaving the arena.

Are you kidding? Leaving the Saintess of the Spirit Hall alone with a stranger? Absolutely not.

If anything were to happen to Hu Liena, Pope Bibi Dong would not spare them.

Hu Liena's gaze remained fixed on the silver-haired man's face from start to finish.

Even as someone born as the Saintess of the Spirit Hall who had seen countless geniuses, she was still captivated by the silver-haired man before her, who appeared to be about her own age.

Not to mention that he could easily repel the spiritual power of a level 95 Chrysanthemum Douluo, proving his strength was unfathomable.

His flawless, world-class face alone was enough to attract her attention for a moment.

Beautiful women are attracted to handsome men, and handsome men are attracted to beautiful women; this is a physiological instinct for everyone.

After a brief moment of distraction, Hu Liena's cheeks flushed slightly, and she awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ear.

Calming herself, she asked:

"May I ask, Senior, could you explain to me what the Star Official Challenge is?"

"And why did you send this Star Feather to me?"

Lin Feng noticed Hu Liena staring at him in a daze.

Heh, I'll have you swooning in no time.

He remained calm and indifferent on the surface, projecting the air of someone who would not change expression even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

He explained slowly:

"The possessors of the Star Feather are lucky individuals I randomly select from the billions of living beings on the Douluo Continent."

"I appear in different places every day, and those chosen by the Star Feather who find me can accept the Star Official Challenge."

"The content of the Star Official Challenge is vast; as long as you accept and complete the challenge, you can receive all kinds of rewards."

"The richness of the rewards depends primarily on your own fortune."

"Of course, you may also forfeit your qualification, in which case the Star Feather will automatically disappear at the hour of the Rat each night."

Hu Liena listened, stunned; her reason told her not to trust this person easily.

But the moment she looked at that flawless face, she nodded and said:

"I understand, Senior. Then how do I accept the Star Official Challenge now?"

Yue Guan hurriedly intervened: "Nana, you must not!"

"This person's identity is unknown, and he appeared in this desolate wilderness; beware of a trap!"

Ghost also advised: "That's right, Nana."

"Our goal for this trip is to head to the Slaughter City."

"Do you intend to defy the orders of Her Majesty the Pope?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena became visibly conflicted.

Lin Feng spoke up to explain:

"Accepting the Star Official Challenge will not take much time."

"Furthermore, the final rewards could potentially be spirit bones, spirit rings, or various rare treasures."

"Opportunities like this are fleeting; they do not wait for anyone."

"Hu Liena, you should consider this carefully."

His voice seemed to possess a magical quality as it fell into Hu Liena's ears.

It caused her to take a deep breath before she looked toward Yue Guan and Ghost, saying in a solemn voice:

"Grandpa Ju, Grandpa Ghost!"

"Why don't you two head down first? Once I have completed the Star Official Challenge, we can head to the Slaughter City together?"

"Nana, you are truly muddled," Yue Guan said, anxious and impatient. "I have never heard of any Star Official Challenge on the Douluo Continent!"

"And it rewards spirit bones? Spirit rings? Rare treasures?"

"You'll be the laughingstock of the world if you say such things!"

"Nana, let's leave this place at once. Be a good girl!"

Ghost stood silently, but from his grave expression, it was clear he stood on Yue Guan's side.

Seeing Hu Liena's hesitation, Lin Feng let out a cold snort and said:

"On my territory, it is not your place to run wild!"

Immediately, an invisible, profound energy enveloped Yue Guan and Ghost, tossing them outside the arena.

Yue Guan and Ghost collapsed to the ground, twitching and rolling about, foaming at the mouth—they looked as wretched as could be.

Hu Liena watched this scene, then looked at the silver-haired man before her.

Her previous awe transformed into fear and unease; she knew the strength of Yue Guan and Ghost very well.

That they could be suppressed so easily by the other party terrified her, so she quickly bowed and pleaded:

"I beg you, Senior, please do not make things difficult for Grandpa Ju and Grandpa Ghost!"

"I will accept the Star Official Challenge right now, I will!"

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Simply inject your spirit power into the Star Feather."

Hu Liena cast a worried glance at Yue Guan and Ghost, who were recovering and clumsily climbing to their feet below the arena.

She could only nod and inject her spirit power into the Star Feather in her hand.

The Star Feather erupted with a dazzling golden light and flew into the air.

The golden light manifested two characters: "Attack."

Lin Feng spoke: "Hu Liena, the Star Official Challenge has begun."

"Now, unleash your strongest strike and attack the Star Feather."

"The higher the damage you deal, the more generous the reward you will receive."

Hearing this, Hu Liena fixed her gaze on the golden feather suspended in the air, nodded, and drew a blood-colored dagger.

She leaped up and struck the Star Feather heavily with a ruthless move.

The Star Feather shimmered with golden light, reflecting the entire force of the blow back at Hu Liena, sending her flying until she landed beside Yue Guan and Ghost, clutching her chest with a pale face.

On the prayer mat in the center of the arena, a string of red text appeared in Lin Feng's mind:

[Character: Hu Liena]
[Attack Damage: 5300]
[Rating: D-]
[Reward: Random spirit ring age increased by two thousand years]

Lin Feng was not surprised by the damage Hu Liena had dealt.

Her martial soul was the Enchanting Fox, and every one of her spirit rings was related to charm; her individual attack capability was inherently weak, though she could perform a martial soul fusion skill with Xie Yue.

He looked at Hu Liena below the arena and said calmly: "Hu Liena, your attack dealt 5300 points of damage, earning a rating of D-. Come up and claim your reward."

Chapter 3: Star Official Challenge Golden Stele, Notifying Bibi Dong to Apprehend Tang San

Below the arena, Hu Liena clutched her chest, her face slightly pale.

She had not expected that her full-force strike against the Star Feather would result in the entire attack being reflected back at her.

At this moment, as she looked at the silver-haired man on the prayer mat in the center of the arena, her eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing the talk of damage, ratings, and rewards, she began to hesitate.

Yue Guan and Ghost forced themselves to reach Hu Liena's side, their complexions looking ghastly.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Yue Guan said coldly:

"Nana, don't let him fool you again!"

"You must leave quickly; Old Ghost and I will stay behind to hold him off!"

"Go, leave quickly!"

The next moment, nine powerful soul rings rose beneath the feet of both him and Ghost.

Watching the two of them in such a weakened state, Hu Liena shook her head repeatedly and said:

"No, Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, I am not leaving!"

The person on the arena stage had been able to suppress and injure Yue Guan and Ghost with ease.

This proved that the opponent's strength was far superior to theirs.

Facing such a terrifying powerhouse, if he truly harbored malicious intent, then no one here would be able to escape.

Even if Yue Guan and Ghost stayed behind to fight to the death, they would only be able to delay him for a moment.

Hu Liena absolutely would not allow the two grandfathers who had doted on her since she was a child to place themselves in such danger.

"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost, please rest assured."

"I will be fine; I believe the senior has no ill intent."

Hu Liena stepped onto the arena with firm resolve.

Yue Guan and Ghost were filled with anxiety, desperate to follow her.
