The Arena Appears in Spirit City; Bibi Dong Regrets Learning How Precious the Star Feather Is

She was also the personal disciple of Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong, and the Saintess of Spirit Hall.

These two prestigious identities had made her incredibly famous in the Soul Master World.

At this very moment, every faction and every Soul Master across the Douluo Continent

was gazing at the mysterious golden stele that had appeared in the sky. The three characters "Hu Liena" on it stirred up all kinds of speculation and discussion.

Some powerful Soul Masters flew into the sky, hoping to uncover the stele's secrets, but they were thrown back and couldn't get close.

Before long, the mysterious golden stele had become the hottest topic across the entire Douluo Continent.

It had roused a world that had long lain dormant, bringing it to life once more.

Spirit Hall, Spirit City, the Pope's bedchamber.

Bibi Dong held the Gem Scepter in her hand. Her icy gaze rested on the three characters "Hu Liena" atop the golden stele, and she furrowed her brow, murmuring:

"Nana, according to the schedule, you should have reached the Capital of Slaughter by now."

"But why has your name appeared on the mysterious golden stele?"

"What happened while you were with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo these past few days?"

Suddenly, the Pope realized that the aura emanating from the stele felt familiar. She exclaimed in shock:

"The aura from the mysterious golden stele is exactly the same as the aura of that golden feather I obtained before!"

In an instant, she vanished from where she stood. Before long, she appeared beside the throne in Pope Palace.

When she saw the discarded golden feather on the ground, an excited smile flickered across her icy face.

Bibi Dong picked up the Golden Feather and wiped away the dirt as she said:

"Could the appearance of the mysterious golden stele be connected to this feather?"

"Mist Forest? Star Official Challenge?"

"This feather will disappear on its own at midnight tonight?"

She remembered the voice that had sounded in her mind earlier and laughed in disbelief.

"Although I don't know whether this so-called Star Official Challenge is real or not,"

"there's no way I can reach the Mist Forest before midnight tonight."

Bibi Dong's expression turned cold again as she left. This time, she put the Star Feather away instead of throwing it out.

Elsewhere, in a secluded spot in the Mixed Area of the Star Dou Great Forest,

Tang San held the Golden Feather in his hand and gazed at the golden stele high in the sky.

As he looked at the three characters "Hu Liena" on it, he clenched his fist.

He murmured, "The aura emanating from that mysterious golden stele is exactly the same as the aura from this golden feather!"

"Could the Star Official Challenge in the Mist Forest be real?"

"Has Hu Liena already accepted the challenge ahead of me?"

Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, but found that he couldn't see through the mysterious golden stele at all.

For some reason, his mind grew restless.

His instincts told him that he would absolutely regret it if he missed this Star Official Challenge.

Just then, Tang Hao came over and patted his son on the shoulder.

His deep, powerful voice rang out as he asked, "Little San, what's wrong?"

Tang San looked at his father and told him about the Golden Feather and the Star Official Challenge.

After listening, Tang Hao scoffed.

"Little San, if you ask me, that so-called Star Official Challenge and golden stele"

"are all a trap set by Spirit Hall to lure you out!"

"Besides, the Mist Forest is near the Capital of Slaughter."

"There's no way you can get there before midnight tonight."

"There's no use keeping a trinket like this."

As he spoke, Tang Hao snatched the Golden Feather from Tang San's hand and hurled it over the sheer cliff before them.

Tang San nodded without thinking much of it. He and Spirit Hall were bound by a deep blood feud.

No matter what, he couldn't venture outside so carelessly. It would be far too dangerous.

And so the sun set, and night fell.

The buzz surrounding the mysterious golden stele hadn't died down in the slightest.

Pope Bibi Dong had already received several letters from the Elder Hall and Worship Hall. They all wanted to know why Hu Liena's name had appeared on the mysterious golden stele.

Bibi Dong was helpless. She didn't know why either.

Late at night, at midnight.

In the Pope's bedchamber, Bibi Dong lay on her side in a nightdress as sheer as a cicada's wings.

It outlined her full, alluring figure.

Her skin was tender and fair, like that of a newborn baby.

The woman was no longer as icy and unapproachable as she had been during the day.

Instead, she looked gentle and bewitching. Every smile and frown could topple all living beings.

Bibi Dong toyed with the Golden Feather in her hand, quietly counting down the time.

Sure enough, the instant midnight arrived, the Golden Feather vanished into thin air...

In the Mist Forest, on the cushion at the center of the arena,

Lin Feng looked at the two Golden Feathers that had appeared in his palm and smiled.

"Time's up. Clocking out!"

"Tomorrow's three lucky ones, come on out!"

He took out the other Golden Feather, and its golden light formed three names.

Hu Liena, Feng Xiaotian, Tang San.

"Huh? Three random slots, and two names are repeats?"

"Tang San didn't come to accept the lucky challenge today. There's a good chance he won't come tomorrow either, right?"

Lin Feng mused aloud.

"Hu Liena sure is lucky. She's been chosen by the Lucky Star Feather twice in a row."

"Feng Xiaotian? That name sounds familiar."

"I remember now. Feng Xiaotian is from Godwind Academy."

"He's the lovesick puppy chasing after Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy."

"Lovesick puppies like him deserve to be put down!"

"The random location for tomorrow is Spirit City!"

"Looks like Tang San really won't show up, and lovesick puppy Feng Xiaotian won't dare come either!"

"I wonder what expression Bibi Dong will wear tomorrow when she realizes she missed her chance to accept the Star Official Challenge. I can't wait to see!"

Lin Feng smiled mischievously and sent a mysterious energy surging around the entire arena.

The next moment, the arena vanished out of thin air and appeared in Spirit City Square.

Lin Feng got up, stretched his arms and legs, then turned and went into a room behind the arena to rest.

At the same time, a mysterious energy rose unseen, enveloping the arena and forming a protective barrier.

In the Mist Forest, a fire burned on the ground, its flames bright and blazing.

Hu Liena was fixated on the arena not far away, anxiously fretting.

"Oh no, it's already past midnight!"

"Teacher still hasn't made it to the Mist Forest. Looks like she's already lost her chance to accept the Star Official Challenge!"

"This... what a pity!"

Hu Liena murmured regretfully, then a cold, murderous look came over her face.

"Tang San, Tang San. I can't believe you managed to dodge a bullet!"

"But you've also lost your chance to accept the Star Official Challenge!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan sighed.

"This place is a long way from Spirit City. Even if Old Ghost rushed here at full speed,"

"he should still be on the way. He won't make it back to Spirit City in time to tell Her Holiness the Pope about the Star Official Challenge."

"Who knows how long it'll be before we get another chance to obtain a Lucky Star Feather?"

Hu Liena and Yue Guan exchanged glances, both sighing.

Three Lucky Star Feathers were handed out at random each day, while the continent held countless lives.

The odds of getting one were simply too slim.

The next moment, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness.

Right before Hu Liena, a golden feather squeezed its way out of space.

"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, this... it... I...!"

"The Lucky Star Feather appeared again!"

Hu Liena stared at the golden feather before her, her little face flushed.

She covered her mouth with both hands, at a loss for words.

Her cheeks were wreathed in a joyful smile.

Chrysanthemum Douluo stared at the Lucky Golden Feather, frozen in place.

His eyes were wide with disbelief.

When he finally came to his senses, he hurried over excitedly and cried out in a trembling voice:

"Nana, I can't believe you've been chosen by the Lucky Golden Feather again!"

Hu Liena nodded with a grin, breathing rapidly.

She slowly reached out and clasped the Golden Feather in her hand.

In an instant, a man's authoritative voice rang out in her mind:

"Whoever obtains the Star Feather may go to Spirit City and accept the Star Official Challenge before midnight tomorrow. After that, the Star Feather will disappear automatically!"

Hu Liena froze, then instinctively looked toward the spot not far away.

The arena that had been there all day had vanished without a trace.

Shock filled her eyes.

She turned to Yue Guan and exclaimed excitedly:

"Grandpa Chrysanthemum, tomorrow's challenge location has been randomly refreshed!"

"This time, it's in our Spirit City!"

"Let's hurry back and tell Teacher!"

Yue Guan looked delighted and glanced toward the spot not far away.

When he saw that the arena surrounded by an almighty formation had disappeared,

his reverence for the person on the cushion deepened.
