His gaze was heavy as he watched Holy Dragon, Thousand Jun, and Falling Devil.
His sharp eyes narrowed slightly as he pulled on a tattered hood, concealing his aura.
On the arena stage, inside a compartment.
Lin Feng sat up from his bed and let out a yawn.
"Mmm~ ah!"
"The feeling of waking up naturally after a good sleep is just great!"
He changed into white robes, opened the compartment door, and stepped out.
What met his eyes was the area near the arena, which had been empty last night.
At this very moment, it was packed with a dense crowd of people.
Everyone was looking at him with excitement.
Lin Feng strode out.
He arrived at the central cushion and sat down.
In an instant, he spotted Holy Dragon, Falling Devil, and Thousand Jun at the edge of the arena.
Suddenly, he looked toward the east.
His gaze pierced through everything to land on a tree trunk in the distance.
Hidden there was a middle-aged man dressed in tattered gray robes.
The man's internal soul power was in disarray, and he was covered in countless injuries.
Lin Feng's eyes brightened, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"The situation is becoming more and more interesting!"
Lin Feng looked toward Dragon Duke and Liu Erlong beneath the arena.
He spoke with majesty:
"Since you have come, step up and accept the Star Official Challenge."
This single sentence caused Tang Hao's expression in the distance to change drastically.
From that one glance the man had cast earlier, he knew he had been discovered, and he secretly thought that this person's strength was terrifying.
Just as Tang Hao was staring at Holy Dragon, Falling Devil, and Thousand Jun by the side of the arena, hesitating over whether to go up and accept the Star Official Challenge, Dragon Duke Meng Shu stood up.
Grasping his Dragon Head Cane, he walked toward the arena.
His body stepped directly into the range of the arena's Defense Array.
He arrived before the silver-haired man on the central cushion.
He bowed respectfully and said:
"Dragon Duke Meng Shu pays his respects to you, Senior!"
"I have obtained a Lucky Star Feather!"
"I have come to accept the Star Official Challenge, and I hope for your guidance, Senior!"
At this moment, Dragon Duke's mood was incredibly excited.
He was advanced in years and had been stuck at his current realm for many years, finding it difficult to make progress.
The Star Official Challenge before him was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Lin Feng spoke:
"Simply infuse your soul power into the Lucky Star Feather."
"I shall open the Star Official Challenge for you."
Dragon Duke nodded, took out the Star Feather, and channeled his soul power into it.
The Star Feather then glowed with a divine golden light and flew into the air.
The two characters for "Spirit" appeared.
On the arena stage, Lin Feng looked at the Dragon Duke before him.
He spoke:
"Dragon Duke, you have initiated the 'Spirit' challenge."
"Now, infuse the Star Feather with your spirit power to the greatest extent possible."
"The Lucky Star Feather will provide a rating based on the strength of your mental power."
"Begin."
Dragon Duke's expression turned somewhat unsightly.
Staring at the word "Spirit" manifested by the Lucky Star Feather.
He could only sigh and say:
"Yes, Senior!"
As a Power Attack System Tool Soul Master.
He had actually triggered the "Spirit" challenge.
Beneath the arena, Snake Mother Chao Tianxiang and Meng Yiran.
Seeing Dragon Duke initiate the "Spirit" challenge.
Both broke into a cold sweat, their faces filled with regret.
Holy Dragon, Falling Devil, and Thousand Jun all stared intently at the situation on the arena.
In the distance, Tang Hao was also carefully observing this challenge.
He was gathering experience for when he would accept the challenge himself later.
The tens of thousands of Soul Masters gathered nearby.
Did not care what type of challenge Dragon Duke had triggered.
They only cared about what kind of rating and rewards could be obtained.
On the arena, Dragon Duke's level 87 Soul Power erupted.
Eight soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black—rose beneath his feet.
The Dragon Head Cane in his hand shone with a black radiance.
This was his Tool Martial Soul.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
The seventh soul ring beneath his feet lit up.
A deafening dragon roar erupted from the Dragon Head Cane.
In the blink of an eye, it spread throughout the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The momentum on Dragon Duke's body surged violently.
His mental power was significantly enhanced.
"Third Soul Skill, Dragon Soul Domain!"
His third soul ring lit up beneath his feet.
A domain force covering a ten-meter radius appeared.
It could weaken all attributes of enemies within the field by 10%.
And enhance his own attributes by 10%.
Aside from his Martial Soul Avatar, this was the only soul skill Dragon Duke possessed that could amplify mental power.
Immediately after, Dragon Duke flew into the air.
He held the Dragon Head Cane high above his head.
His formidable mental power transformed into a black giant dragon over ten meters long.
Guided by his will, it struck directly at the hovering Lucky Star Feather.
The Lucky Star Feather trembled slightly, swallowing the black dragon whole.
Powerful air currents surged, whipping up a hurricane across the entire arena.
Some of the weaker Soul Masters were crushed into unconsciousness.
Dragon Duke persisted for a full ten minutes.
His mental power was nearly exhausted and collapsing.
He hurriedly braced himself with his Dragon Head Cane to keep from falling.
But he soon discovered that the mental power within his body was recovering at an astonishing speed.
His complexion shifted from its initial pallor back to a hint of color.
The Lucky Star Feather retracted its golden light and became calm.
It flew toward Lin Feng and was put away.
At the same time, a line of red text appeared in his mind:
[Character: Dragon Duke Meng Shu]
[Mental Strength: 98,301]
[Rating: C+]
[Rewards: Soul Power Pill x1, Hundred Thousand Year Evil Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone x1]
Soul Power Pill: Consuming this allows one to rise three levels consecutively if below the Title Douluo rank.
Lin Feng was quite surprised as he looked at the information appearing in his mind.
This was the first time the system had provided two types of rewards simultaneously.
At this moment, the Dragon Duke arrived before the prayer mat.
His aged face revealed a look of joy.
He bowed deeply and asked with excitement:
"Senior, I have completed the attack!"
"I wonder... what rating did I achieve?"
Lin Feng looked up at the Dragon Duke and said:
"Dragon Duke, congratulations on your mental strength."
"It reached 98,301 points, a rating of C+."
"These are your rewards: a Soul Power Pill that allows you to rise three levels consecutively if you are below the Title Douluo rank."
"And a Hundred Thousand Year Evil Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone."
Lin Feng conjured a cyan orb of light in his hand, which flew before the Dragon Duke.
