Star Dou Great Forest, inner area.
On a wide, open patch of grass.
A massive arena appeared out of thin air.
Lin Feng breathed in the fresh air, feeling excellent.
He stretched his limbs and said:
"Clocked out, finally time to rest!"
With that, he turned and walked toward his living quarters.
The interior was very simple: one room, one living area, and one bathroom.
The total area was over forty square meters.
Small but fully equipped.
On the other side, in a cave within the Mixed Area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang Hao held a feather radiating a sacred golden light in his hand.
At that very moment, a man's majestic voice echoed in his mind:
"He who obtains the Star Feather may come to the inner area of the Star Dou Great Forest before midnight tomorrow to accept the Star Official Challenge. If the time passes, the Star Feather will automatically vanish!"
Beside him, Tang San stared at the Lucky Star Feather and said excitedly:
"Father!"
"You... you have been chosen by the Lucky Star Feather!"
Over the past few days, news regarding the Star Official Challenge had spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Tang Hao had even gone out specifically to gather information.
Whether it was the Soul-Breaking Spear as a Second Spirit obtained by Feng Xiaotian, or the God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring obtained by Hu Liena, Tang San was incredibly tempted.
He felt deep regret for the two previous Star Official Challenge opportunities he had missed.
Tang Hao opened his eyes, a look of excitement appearing on his weathered face.
He patted his son's shoulder heavily and said in a deep voice:
"San, I have obtained the Lucky Star Feather!"
"And I know the location of tomorrow's Star Official Challenge!"
"It turns out to be right here in the inner area of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
"There will surely be a massive number of spirit masters rushing over by then!"
"It cannot be ruled out that Title Douluo elders from Spirit Hall will gather here as well!"
"Therefore, I intend to send you away from the Star Dou Great Forest overnight!"
"Only after I get you to a safe place can I accept the Star Official Challenge tomorrow without any worries!"
"This might be my chance to recover from these injuries, advance my strength, and rise again!"
Tang San said guiltily:
"Father, I'm sorry!"
"It's all my fault for dragging you down all these years!"
"Let's leave right now!"
"That way you can get to the Star Official Challenge sooner; perhaps the people from Spirit Hall won't arrive that quickly!"
Tang Hao looked at his son, ripples of emotion in his eyes as he said:
"San, what foolish things are you saying?"
"You are the son of Tang Hao!"
"Once I accept the Star Official Challenge and recover my strength!"
"The two of us won't have to keep hiding anymore!"
"Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!"
"One day, my son and I will surely step upon Spirit Hall!"
"We will settle all our old and new scores once and for all!"
Immediately after, Tang Hao and Tang San left the cave.
They hurried toward the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San turned his head to look in the direction of the Core Area and muttered:
"Xiao Wu, I am too weak right now."
"Once my strength is sufficiently powerful, I will return to find you!"
(In the original work, Tang San and Tang Hao were not in the Star Dou Great Forest, but I have made slight modifications here to increase the interest of the plot, please forgive me.)
Inside the Dean's office at Shrek Academy.
Flender sat before his desk and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.
He looked at Ma Hongjun and instructed him excitedly:
"Little Fatty, you are currently in first place on the 'Attack' Challenge Gold Stele!"
"For the next period of time, you are not to leave the academy for even half a step!"
"As long as no one knocks you out of your ranking, you will be able to receive a high-rated reward just like Hu Liena!"
Ma Hongjun had been dragged over while on a secret date with a few junior schoolmates, so he was feeling very displeased.
However, thinking it over and finding the logic sound, he nodded and replied:
"Please rest assured, Dean. I definitely won't go anywhere for this upcoming period!"
"I'll stay obediently in the academy. That... can I go to the Finance Department tomorrow to collect a year's salary?"
Flender had made a fortune today and waved his hand grandly: "Of course, you brat performed well today!"
"You even knew to ask for an opportunity for me to accept the Star Official Challenge in front of my seniors. Go and collect three years' salary tomorrow!"
Inside a room at Shrek Academy.
Liu Erlong held the Lucky Star Feather in her hands, a look of joy appearing on her weary face.
She looked at the weak, sleeping Yu Xiaogang on the bed and said excitedly:
"Xiaogang, wait here for me to return!"
"I will definitely obtain the medicinal pill to solve your Martial Soul problem and come back!"
Liu Erlong left a note and quietly slipped out of the room.
But just as she prepared to set off for the Star Dou Great Forest, she thought of something and headed toward the kitchen.
PS: First update (1/4)
Chapter 28: Emperor Xue Ye hopes to obtain the Longevity Fruit, Qian Daoliu can no longer sit still, Tang Hao's tracks are exposed
Late at night, inside a certain Soul Hunting Forest.
The 46th-level Soul Ancestor Meng Yiran arrived at the side of the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
She had a head of cyan hair.
Her figure was slender, graceful, and curvaceous.
Though she was already twenty, she still gave off a youthful, green, and charming aura.
Snake Granny looked at her granddaughter and chided her:
"Yiran, you little girl, you don't cultivate properly all day long."
"You're only at 46th-level Soul Power even now."
"Your grandfather and I are getting on in years; who will protect you after we are gone?"
"I don't even know if that Tang San is still alive."
"Twin Martial Souls, son of Haotian—he would have been a good match for you, Yiran."
Meng Yiran stepped forward to hook her arm through her grandmother's and said coquettishly:
"Grandma, Yiran isn't weak now."
"I can protect myself, and in the future, I can protect Grandpa and Grandma too."
"Besides, Yiran wants to stay with Grandpa and Grandma forever."
"I'm not going anywhere."
Once, Meng Yiran had liked Tang San.
But as the gap between the two widened, and knowing that Tang San already had a woman he loved deeply, Meng Yiran had completely let go after three years.
After all, for her, Tang San had merely been a moment of naive infatuation during her girlhood.
At this moment, the space in front of the Dragon Duke was torn open.
A golden feather appeared, radiating a sacred golden light.
The Dragon Duke was stunned for a moment before a look of joy appeared on his face.
He reached out his hand and grasped the Lucky Star Feather.
The next moment, a man's majestic voice echoed in his mind.
After a long while, Dragon Duke opened his eyes.
An excited smile appeared on his aged face.
He walked toward Snake Granny and Meng Yiran and said:
"Old woman, Yiran!"
"I have been chosen by the Lucky Star Feather!"
"We must set off for the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest immediately!"
"That is where the Star Official Challenge refreshes!"
Snake Granny and Meng Yiran were overjoyed.
They had long heard of the Star Official Challenge.
Spirit Hall's Saintess Hu Liena had obtained a God-Given Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.
Godwind Academy's Feng Xiaotian had obtained a second spirit, the Soul-Breaking Spear.
Accepting the Star Official Challenge could grant one great opportunities and great fortune.
The three of them departed at once, heading for the Star Dou Great Forest.
The news that Dragon Duke Meng Shu had obtained the Lucky Star Feather and the location where the Star Official Challenge would refresh was overheard by nearby spirit masters, who quickly spread the word.
In the Heaven Dou Empire, within the imperial palace.
Emperor Xue Ye listened to the report from the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, below him.
