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

She was repelled by the formation's power near the arena, her expression filled with worry.

Hu Liena stepped onto the arena one pace at a time, as if walking on thin ice.

Taking a deep breath, she bowed and said:

"Senior, I have come... I have come to claim my reward!"

Lin Feng looked at Hu Liena before him, observing her look of resignation as if facing death.

He smiled helplessly and said:

"I am not going to eat you; why must you wear such a terrified expression?"

Hu Liena offered a stiff smile and replied:

"Senior, I am just... I am just excited!"

"I have no idea what reward I might receive, I am so looking forward to it!"

Lin Feng did not expose her little white lie; girls, after all, always cared about their reputation.

He nodded and said:

"Hu Liena, congratulations on dealing 5,300 points of damage, a D- rating!"

"This is your reward: a random soul ring's age increased by two thousand years!"

Immediately, a ball of white light appeared in his hand, flew forward, and merged into Hu Liena's body.

Hu Liena's expression froze; the uneasy, nervous mood from a moment ago.

Turned into confusion and shock.

She felt the changes in her body and manifested her first soul ring.

The yellow first soul ring, which had originally been only 396 years old, had now turned purple, its age increased to 2,396 years.

"My first soul ring, the age really increased... by two thousand years!"

"How on earth was this done? It is so magical, simply incredible!"

Hu Liena muttered to herself, and when she looked up at the silver-haired man on the prayer mat again.

Her gaze revealed admiration and gratitude.

She had not expected that not only did he harbor no malice, but he had also bestowed such a stroke of fortune upon her.

"Hu Liena thanks you for the reward, Senior!"

She knelt on one knee, placed her right fist over her left chest in a salute, her face filled with reverence.

At this moment, Yue Guan and Ghost, standing below the arena.

Watching Hu Liena's first soul ring turn purple with an age of over two thousand years.

Both were completely dumbfounded, feeling as if their worldview had collapsed and shattered.

To think that a soul ring could still be upgraded after being absorbed.

It was simply shocking and unprecedented.

Now, all their prejudices against Lin Feng had vanished, leaving only awe in their place.

Lin Feng looked at Hu Liena before him and said with a faint smile:

"Hu Liena, you need not thank me."

"Being able to obtain the Lucky Star Feather was all due to your own good luck."

As he spoke, he retracted the star feather from the air and placed it into his system space.

Listening to his words, Hu Liena seemed to realize something.

The next moment, Yue Guan's excited voice reached her ears:

"Nana, look quickly, a golden stele has appeared in the sky!"

"The characters 'Attack' are engraved at the top of the stele!"

"And your name, Nana, is ranked in first place!"

Hu Liena looked up and truly saw the golden stele in the sky.

Her own name appeared behind the first-place entry.

This golden stele was vast and boundless, emanating an aura similar to the star feather, profound and unfathomable.

Hu Liena's breathing grew rapid as she looked at Lin Feng and asked cautiously:

"May I ask, Senior, why such a golden stele has appeared in the sky?"

Lin Feng replied:

"That is the Star Official Challenge Stele, used to record the highest challenge ratings for every category."

"It is tallied once every three days at the hour of the Rat."

"The top three beings will receive different rewards of A+, B+, and C+ respectively."

Hu Liena's eyes brightened slightly, and she couldn't help but glance once more at the golden stele high above in the sky.

She asked with excitement:

"Senior, could you briefly explain to me how the rewards are graded?"

Lin Feng found looking at a beauty like Hu Liena to be a pleasing experience.

He was more than happy to answer her question, saying:

"With me, rewards are divided into seven grades, from lowest to highest."

"D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS."

"Each grade also has '+' and '-' distinctions."

"The reward you received this time is a D-."

"That is the lowest grade of reward; a D+ reward would be better than a D- reward, and so on."

Having answered up to this point, Lin Feng closed his eyes again and said:

"Alright, I have made an exception to answer a few of your questions."

"Go on down. You have already accepted the Star Official Challenge today; I wish you good luck."

Immediately following this, an invisible, profound energy enveloped Hu Liena.

It carried her body and set her down outside the arena.

Yue Guan and Ghost hurried over to meet her, and Yue Guan said excitedly:

"Nana, I never expected you to actually obtain a reward!"

"Your first spirit ring's age has increased by two thousand years!"

Hu Liena tilted her chin up, giggling as she said:

"Chrysanthemum Grandpa, Ghost Grandpa, didn't you two just say that Senior was a fraud?"

"How has your attitude changed so quickly now!"

Yue Guan and Ghost's old faces flushed red. Yue Guan gave a light cough to ease the awkwardness and said:

"Nana, Old Ghost and I failed to recognize a superior when we saw one; we shouldn't have questioned Senior."

"Hurry and tell us everything Senior said to you."

Ghost also cast a curious and excited gaze her way.

Hu Liena quickly recounted everything regarding the reward grades for the Star Official Challenge and the Star Official Challenge Ranking Stele.

After listening, both Yue Guan and Ghost wore expressions of envy.

A D- reward could increase a spirit ring's age by two thousand years.

As for the C+, B+, and A+ rewards from the golden stele every three days, they didn't even dare to imagine them.

They both began to envy Hu Liena for being able to obtain the Lucky Star Feather.

Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage and made a request toward the arena:

"Senior, could you answer a few more questions for me?"

Yue Guan and Ghost both became tense.

A full few minutes passed, and just when Hu Liena felt there was no hope, Lin Feng, still with his eyes closed, spoke slowly: "Speak."

Hu Liena was overjoyed and asked cautiously:

"May I ask, Senior, how many Lucky Star Feathers do you distribute at random each day?"

Lin Feng replied: "Three."

Hu Liena asked again: "May I ask, Senior, is there any special way to obtain a Lucky Star Feather?"

Lin Feng replied: "None."

Hearing this, Hu Liena felt somewhat disappointed, but unwilling to give up, she asked one final question:

"May I ask, Senior, could you reveal,"

"Besides me, who else received a Lucky Star Feather today?"

Lin Feng paused before replying: "Bibi Dong, Tang San."

As the words fell, the entire arena erupted with a powerful surge of energy, blasting the shocked Hu Liena, Yue Guan, and Ghost far away.

"Nana!"

"Chrysanthemum Grandpa, I'm fine!"

After steadying herself, Hu Liena nodded at Yue Guan.

Yue Guan looked at Ghost, his expression grave as he said:

"Old Ghost, Nana and I will keep watch nearby. If Tang San dares to come and accept the Star Official Challenge, we will seize the opportunity to capture him and bring him back to Spirit Hall!"

"Hurry back to Spirit Soul City at your top speed and report the matter of the Star Official Challenge truthfully to Her Holiness the Pope. Tell her to hasten to the Mist Forest to accept the Star Official Challenge!"

Ghost nodded in support of this arrangement. After parting ways with the two, he rushed toward Spirit Soul City at his maximum speed.

Hu Liena gazed in the direction of the Capital of Slaughter. Going to the Capital of Slaughter for training—how could that compare to the thrill of accepting the Star Official Challenge?

Bibi Dong's skepticism, Tang Hao suspects a Spirit Hall conspiracy, and Hu Liena is chosen again.

On the Douluo Continent, high above in the sky.

The massive golden stele that appeared out of thin air caused a tremendous sensation.

The stele radiated a profound and unfathomable aura, as if it had descended from the dawn of time, majestic and inviolable.

At first, everyone assumed it was merely a natural phenomenon appearing in the world.

At most, it served as a topic for idle chatter over drinks.

But when the name "Hu Liena" manifested after the first sequence on the golden stele, the entire spirit master world was shaken and driven into a frenzy.

One must remember the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament from three years ago.

There were two figures who had been immensely popular at the time: Tang San and Hu Liena.

As a student of Shrek Academy, Tang San possessed innate full spirit power of level ten.

He was a twin spirit wielder, possessing both the "useless" Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one tool spirit on the continent.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Clear Sky Hammer that the Shrek team ultimately defeated the team from Spirit Hall and claimed first place in the tournament.

This broke the situation where Spirit Hall had monopolized the championship of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament for many years.

As for Hu Liena, she was one of the participants representing the Spirit Hall team three years ago.

Possessing exceptionally high talent, she was one of the three members of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
