Hu Liena Chooses the Spirit Fruit, Evil God-Level Spirit Fusion, Lucky Star Feather Selects Tang Hao (Continued)

In the pitch-black night sky, the "Attack" Challenge Gold Stele

shone with dazzling golden light, illuminating the night as bright as day.

It shocked the entire Douluo Continent.

Billions of lives bore witness to this moment.

Golden light descended, enveloping Hu Liena.

It made her seem holy and noble.

Wrapped in mysterious power, she floated in the air.

She became the focus of everyone's attention.

At the same time, Lin Feng opened his eyes on the arena.

A solemn voice rang out like thunder:

"Hu Liena has placed second in the 'Attack' Challenge Gold Stele rankings. She will now receive her B+ rating reward!"

Then, a purple orb of light took shape in his hand and shot away.

It stopped in front of Hu Liena and transformed into a Red Tree.

Mysterious power radiated from it, and ten fruits hung from its branches.

Lin Feng's voice rang out again:

"Hu Liena, your B+ rating reward

allows you to choose the specific attribute of your reward.

You may choose from Martial Soul, Soul Power, aptitude,

attack, defense, Spirit Bone, lifespan,

spirit, appearance, or gender.

Choose one of these ten attributes.

You have one minute to decide."

As Lin Feng finished speaking, a protective barrier rose around the Red Tree in the night sky.

Golden light surged into the heavens, brilliant beyond compare.

The unbelievable sight left the tens of thousands of people in the square

stunned and thrilled.

The "Attack" Challenge Gold Stele in the sky

and the Red Tree both glowed with golden light, inspiring an instinctive urge to bow.

The ten fruits on the Red Tree were especially striking.

They seemed to exert a fatal allure, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.

No one had expected a B+ rating reward to let its recipient freely choose an attribute.

Everyone gazed enviously at Hu Liena, who now floated before the Red Tree,

wondering what she would choose.

Below the arena, Xue Qinghe looked up at the fruits on the Red Tree.

The Six-Winged Angel God-Level Martial Soul within her was deeply drawn to them.

She stared at Hu Liena with excitement, wishing she could take her place and choose a reward.

Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the other Titled Douluo elders

watched Hu Liena and the Red Tree with excitement.

They felt sincerely proud, though their eyes betrayed their envy.

This was a B+ rating reward.

It was a full three minor grades higher than Hu Liena's C- rating reward yesterday, the God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

No one could even imagine how heaven-defying this reward might be.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul within Ning Fengzhi

was drawn to one of the fruits on the Red Tree.

His face was full of longing and hope.

His instincts told him that if he could obtain that Spirit Fruit,

he could surely solve the flaw in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was also eyeing one of the fruits on the Red Tree.

His Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was the greatest offensive Martial Soul on the continent.

It grew stronger by feeding on killing intent, and was fierce and sharp.

But it also had one fatal flaw.

The Martial Soul carried a curse and could only be passed down through a single bloodline.

The Clear Sky Hammer was no higher in quality than the Seven Kill Sword.

But it could be inherited, and had many more descendants.

That was how it had earned the title of the greatest tool Martial Soul in the world.

Chen Xin felt more than a little unwilling to accept it.

It wasn't just the tens of thousands of people in the square

who were captivated by the ten fruits glowing on the Red Tree in the sky.

The entire Heaven Dou City, the entire Heaven Dou Empire,

and even the entire Douluo Continent—humans and Soul Beasts alike—

had all been drawn in the instant the Red Tree appeared.

There was no longer any doubt about the Star Official Challenge's authenticity.

Shrek Academy, the square.

Hu Liena was wrapped in holy golden light.

Before her stood the Red Tree, protected by a barrier.

The ten fruits hanging from it each radiated a different aura.

Every one of them held a fatal allure for her.

"Appearance... That sounds pretty good!"

Hu Liena smiled sweetly. What woman didn't love beauty?

But she quickly came to her senses.

She shook her head vigorously to clear it.

Then she said excitedly, "Hu Liena, a B+ rating reward is incredibly rare!

"You can't waste this opportunity!

"Then... I'll choose the Martial Soul attribute!"

The Demon Fox Martial Soul had always been Hu Liena's pride.

It was also what made her most self-conscious.

Aside from its ability to charm, it had no other offensive power.

She could only use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her brother, Xie Yue.

Hu Liena was a strong-willed person.

She envied Tang San, who had a Blue Silver Grass control Martial Soul

as well as a powerful offensive Second Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer.

Hu Liena's expression turned serious as she looked toward the arena.

She called out loudly:

"Senior, I've made my decision!

"I choose the Martial Soul attribute!"

On the arena, Lin Feng nodded and said:

"Very well, Hu Liena.

"Take your Spirit Fruit."

The next moment, one of the fruits on the Red Tree, still protected by the barrier,

fell from the branches.

It flew into Hu Liena's hands.

Then the Red Tree vanished.

The golden light filling the sky gradually dimmed.

Within seconds, the world had returned to its earlier darkness.

Hu Liena held a red fruit about the size of her palm and descended to the ground.

The fruit seemed to have a magic of its own.

It compelled her to lean in, take a bite, and swallow.

Suddenly, crimson light burst from Hu Liena's body, filling the sky.

A powerful aura swept outward.

It formed a fierce whirlwind.

Countless people below the Soul Ancestor level were swept off their feet.

The sudden change left everyone stunned.

Yue Guan cried out, "Nana, what's happening to you? Why is this happening?"

The others stared at her in shock as well.

On the arena, Lin Feng said calmly:

"Hu Liena is fusing with the Spirit Fruit. There's no need to worry."

Hearing this, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and the others relaxed.

They gathered around Hu Liena to protect her,

in case anyone tried to sabotage the process.

Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin stood guard farther away.

Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others did the same.

Most of the crowd struggled back through the whirlwind,

eager to witness the change as Hu Liena fused with the Spirit Fruit.

Hu Liena's eyes glowed red where she stood.

Crimson Soul Power surged skyward without end.

At last, it gathered above her head into a red Demon Fox.

It crouched on all fours, its claws sharp.

Nine tails swayed in the wind, blotting out the sky.

An evil, terrifying Beast Martial Soul aura spread outward.

In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Shrek Academy Square.
