Douluo: Star Official Challenge, Everyone is Stronger Than Tang San

The two of them had actually obtained the opportunity to accept the Star Official Challenge.

It truly made others green with envy.

The teacher maintaining order felt a massive headache coming on.

Despite constantly shouting reprimands, he still couldn't control the scene.

In the end, he could only give up in resignation.

He shook his head in the direction of Dean Flender.

Flender pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, signaling for him to let it go.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Liu Erlong nudged Yu Xiaogang on the arm.

She said excitedly:

"Xiaogang, the senior is calling for you and Ma Hongjun."

"You two should hurry up and go accept the Star Official Challenge!"

Ma Hongjun was impatient, looking eager to give it a try.

Yu Xiaogang frowned as he glanced at the silver-haired man on the arena stage.

Then, looking at Ma Hongjun, he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Ma Hongjun, you are a student of Shrek Academy."

"I naturally cannot steal your spotlight."

"You should go up and accept the Star Official Challenge first."

Ma Hongjun nodded and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Grandmaster, then I'll head up first!"

As he finished speaking, he hitched up his pants and swaggered toward the arena.

He cautiously reached out to touch the arena's formation.

Discovering that his right hand passed right through, he strode onto the stage.

Thousands of people watched this scene, their breathing becoming rapid.

They had only ever heard rumors about the Star Official Challenge.

The time to witness a miracle had finally arrived.

Ma Hongjun reached the prayer mat and turned to face the entire audience.

He raised both hands high into the air in a peace sign, striking a pose he thought was very cool.

Who would have thought it would only draw a chorus of jeers?

Flender, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji helplessly covered their faces.

They really wanted to expel this embarrassing fellow from the academy.

Ma Hongjun hadn't expected such a reaction.

He gave an awkward cough, but being thick-skinned, he didn't mind.

Only then did he turn to bow, calling out respectfully:

"One of the Shrek Seven Devils, Ma Hongjun!"

"Greetings, Senior!"

"I have come to accept the Star Official Challenge!"

"I hope for your guidance, Senior!"

Lin Feng looked at this cocky fellow before him.

Are you here to show off or to accept the Star Official Challenge? he thought.

He nodded and said:

"Take out the Lucky Star Feather you obtained."

"Then infuse it with your soul power, and I will open the Star Official Challenge for you."

Ma Hongjun replied: "Yes, Senior!"

He then took a feather emitting a sacred golden light from his bosom and infused it with soul power.

At that instant, the thousands of people in the audience stared intently at the Golden Feather.

This was a precious treasure capable of granting a Star Official Challenge.

The Lucky Star Feather shone with golden radiance and flew into the air.

Two characters appeared: "Attack."

Lin Feng explained:

"Ma Hongjun, the challenge you have activated is 'Attack'."

"Now, you only need to unleash your strongest attack against the Lucky Star Feather."

Ma Hongjun gazed at the Lucky Star Feather suspended in the sky, his expression turning solemn.

He was usually carefree, but with the final reward of this challenge at stake, he could not afford to be careless.

Clenching his hands tightly, four soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple—rose from beneath his feet, marking him as a level 49 Soul Ancestor.

A piercing, shrill cry of an Evil Fire Phoenix rang out, and the power of flame swept across the entire plaza.

He shouted aloud, "Second Soul Skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix!"

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Sky-Screaming Strike!"

On the arena of the Shrek Academy plaza, Ma Hongjun's second soul ring lit up.

A layer of scorching flames coated the surface of his body.

This increased the power of his innate Phoenix Flame martial soul by 30%.

This was his second soul skill, Bathing Fire Phoenix.

The third soul ring lit up.

A pair of flaming wings condensed behind his back, granting him temporary flight.

It also increased the power of his Phoenix Flame by 100% and boosted his attack range by 50%.

This was his third soul skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring.

The fourth soul ring lit up.

Ma Hongjun circled the Lucky Star Feather in the air.

Scorching magma erupted from the ground, shooting straight into the sky.

It engulfed the Lucky Star Feather, dealing continuous damage.

He then transformed into a massive Evil Fire Phoenix.

Descending from the sky, he struck the Lucky Star Feather, dealing a second wave of damage.

In an instant, the entire arena was swept by a scorching gale.

The temperature rose significantly.

To avoid casualties and destruction, the academy teachers stepped in to neutralize the lingering power of the soul skills.

When everything returned to calm, the Lucky Star Feather remained completely unscathed.

Ma Hongjun landed on the arena and knelt on one knee.

His soul power was heavily depleted, and his breathing was weak.

In order to obtain a higher rating and reward, he had gone all out regardless of the cost.

Soon, Ma Hongjun felt the soul power within his body rapidly recovering.

His complexion gradually turned rosy, and he slowly stood up.

Thousands of people beneath the arena wore expressions of excitement.

They wondered what kind of rating and reward Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, would receive.

On the arena, Ma Hongjun approached the prayer mat.

He took a deep breath, bowed, and said, "Senior, I have finished my attack! I wonder what rating my attack has earned?"

Lin Feng looked up at Ma Hongjun, and a string of red text appeared in his mind:

[Character: Ma Hongjun]
[Attack Damage: 25631]
[Rating: C-]
[Reward: One Phoenix Pill]
Note: After consumption by a soul master with a fire-attribute martial soul, the martial soul's impurities are cleared, it evolves, and soul power is significantly increased.

Lin Feng spoke up:

"Ma Hongjun, congratulations on dealing 25,631 points of damage."

"Having reached a C- rating, your reward is one Phoenix Pill."

As the words fell, a pale blue orb of light manifested in the figure's hand.

It flew before Ma Hongjun and transformed into a red medicinal pill.

Upon hearing the C- rating, the thousands of people present wore expressions of shock and boundless envy.

No one had expected Ma Hongjun to achieve the same rating as Spirit Hall's Saintess, Hu Liena.

The look of disdain that had been on Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's face just a second ago.

Was replaced by excitement, his spirit eager to try.

After Ma Hongjun learned of his rating.

Before he could even marvel at it or show off.

His gaze was drawn to the red pill radiating the aura of a phoenix before him.

His intuition told him that as long as he consumed this Phoenix Pill.

His strength would surely see a tremendous increase.

"Th-thank you for the reward, Senior!"

Ma Hongjun's breathing grew rapid as he lunged forward.

He grabbed the Phoenix Pill, shoved it into his mouth, and swallowed.

Instantly, a terrifying medicinal power erupted.

Ma Hongjun was engulfed by towering flames.

His Evil Fire Phoenix spirit manifested automatically.
