Star Official Challenge, Everyone is Stronger Than Tang San

"Nana, we must travel through the night!"

"We should be able to reach Spirit City by noon tomorrow!"

Hu Liena and Yue Guan nodded at each other.

After extinguishing the flames, they mounted their horses and rode in the direction leading out of the Mist Forest.

Hu Liena was still reeling from the rewards of the Star Official Challenge.

Having increased her first spirit ring's age by 2,000 years, she was filled with a craving for more.

She never expected that the one-in-a-billion chance would strike her twice in a row.

She was already beginning to look forward to tomorrow's reward.

Beyond that, there was her ranking on the Mysterious Golden Stele.

As long as she maintained the first-place position for two more days, she would receive an A+ grade reward.

A D- grade reward had already granted her a 2,000-year random spirit ring age increase.

Hu Liena dared not even imagine what an A+ grade reward would entail.

She only knew that if she were to encounter her nemesis Tang San again, she would certainly be able to wash away her past shame.

Star Dou Great Forest, near a cave in the mixed zone.

Tang San held a burning wooden stick in his hand, having moved far away from the cave.

He took a feather emitting a sacred golden light from his bosom.

Purple light flowed through his pupils as he let out a cold snort and muttered to himself:

"This Lucky Golden Feather has appeared once again!"

"And this time, the location for the Star Official Challenge is actually the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, Spirit City!"

Three years ago, Tang San was a member of the Shrek team.

It was in Spirit City that he and his companions had endured countless hardships.

They had won the championship of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, gaining supreme honor.

Yet, it was also at that time that he had forged a deep enmity with the Spirit Hall.

If Tang Hao had not arrived in time, his girlfriend Xiao Wu would surely have fallen into the hands of the Spirit Hall.

Later, Tang San was taken away by Tang Hao, and when he awoke, Xiao Wu had already left.

Since then, he had dedicated himself to cultivation, solely so that he would be strong enough in the future.

He intended to find his beloved and take revenge on the Spirit Hall for the murder of his mother and the harm done to his wife.

"Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!"

"You have truly gone to great lengths to find me, Tang San!"

"Isn't this just a ploy to lure me out?"

"Such a trick is far too inferior!"

"Bibi Dong, one day I, Tang San, will surely set foot upon the Spirit Hall!"

"I will avenge the murder of my mother and the harm you caused Xiao Wu, every single debt!"

"I will make the Spirit Hall disappear from this continent, or else I shall never be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Tang San roared sternly, his voice carrying far into the quiet night.

He startled countless birds in the forest and threw the Lucky Star Feather in his hand toward the bottomless abyss...

In a village to the east of Spirit City, a man and a woman came to a halt.

The man wore a blue athletic outfit and a black mask.

A pair of eyes, as sharp as a hawk's, were exposed.

The woman had delicate features and a fiery figure, especially her dark red hair.

It made her appear like a flame, drawing everyone's attention.

"He who obtains the Star Feather may arrive at Spirit City before the hour of the Rat tomorrow to accept the Star Official Challenge; the Star Feather will automatically vanish if the time is exceeded!"

As Feng Xiaotian's fingers touched the golden feather, a man's majestic voice echoed in his mind.

Huo Wu hurriedly asked with concern: "Xiaotian, what is wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Feng Xiaotian snapped out of it and held the golden feather, which was emitting a sacred golden light, in his hand.

His eyes were filled with shock as he looked up at the Mysterious Golden Stele hanging high in the night sky.

He grabbed Huo Wu's hands and said excitedly:

"Huo Wu, just a moment ago, a man's voice appeared in my mind!"

"It told me that this golden feather is called the Lucky Star Feather!"

"It commanded me to reach Spirit City before the hour of the Rat tomorrow to accept the Star Official Challenge!"

"The most crucial part is that the mysterious aura emanating from the Lucky Golden Feather is identical to the aura on the Mysterious Golden Stele!"

"That is why I suspect Hu Liena must have also obtained a Lucky Golden Feather!"

"That is the only reason her name could appear on the Mysterious Golden Stele!"

Upon hearing the name "Hu Liena," Huo Wu frowned.

Her eyes filled with hatred as she said with concern:

"Xiaotian, I have never heard of this Star Official Challenge you speak of."

"Furthermore, the Mysterious Golden Stele appeared in the sky during the day, and you obtained the Lucky Star Feather by night."

"This is highly likely to be a conspiracy by the Spirit Hall; we must be on our guard!"

Feng Xiaotian's excitement calmed slightly, and he nodded, saying:

"Huo Wu, you are always the thoughtful one. The possibility you mentioned cannot be ruled out."

"It just so happens that we are not far from Spirit City now."

"How about we head there now, disguise ourselves, and enter the city?"

"We can investigate this Star Official Challenge before making any decisions, what do you think?"

"Although I have broken through to a level 52 Spirit King, Tang San's talent is extraordinary."

"I do not want to give up any opportunity to acquire a stroke of fortune!"

At the mention of Tang San, Huo Wu's gaze visibly faltered.

She then nodded heavily, looking at Feng Xiaotian as she said:

"Xiaotian, for the sake of surpassing and defeating Tang San!"

"Let us work hard together and head to Spirit City!"

Immediately, Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu interlaced their fingers, both of their faces lighting up with happy smiles.

Over the past three years, they had come together and traveled across the continent.

Accompanying one another, they made progress together.

A deep bond had formed between them.

In the plaza of Spirit City, a ring that had appeared out of thin air was discovered.

Many people curiously approached the ring, only to be blocked by an invisible defensive formation.

News of this spread rapidly, and more and more passersby gathered to watch, causing the matter to continue fermenting.

The next morning, at the crack of dawn.

In the Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong gripped her gemstone scepter.

Her eyes gazed suspiciously at the exhausted Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei, standing below.

She spoke in a cold voice:

"Ghost Douluo, why have you returned alone?"

"Where is Chrysanthemum Douluo? Did you two successfully escort Nana to the Slaughter City?"

Having traveled for a long time, Gui Mei looked weary, yet he bowed excitedly and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, yesterday Yue Guan and I escorted Nana to the Mist Forest."

"While we were resting, Nana unexpectedly obtained a golden feather called the Lucky Golden Feather."

When Bibi Dong heard the words "Lucky Star Feather," her heart tightened sharply.

She pressed further: "What? Nana also obtained a Lucky Star Feather!"

"Could it be that the Mysterious Golden Stele appearing in the sky is because Nana accepted the Star Official Challenge?"

Gui Mei had not expected the Pope to guess so much at once, so he replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope, everything is just as you suspected!"

"After Nana obtained the Lucky Star Feather, we were still in the Mist Forest!"

"We found a ring, and sitting on a prayer mat in the center of that ring was a silver-haired man!"

"He called himself the Star Official and initiated the Star Official Challenge for Nana!"

"According to what that person said, Nana launched an attack at the Star Feather, dealing over five thousand points of D-grade damage, and received a reward of a 2,000-year increase to her first spirit ring..."

Gui Mei did not mention how he and Yue Guan had been crushed, but he revealed everything else.

After listening, shock appeared on Bibi Dong's face, and her hand gripping the gemstone scepter tightened, trembling violently.

She had actually missed out on a Star Official Challenge that could increase Hu Liena's first spirit ring by two thousand years.

Moreover, the odds of obtaining a Lucky Star Feather were one in a hundred million; how could it be easy?

Besides, with Tang Hao present, Chrysanthemum Douluo could not possibly pose a threat to Tang San, so there was only one possibility: Tang San had not gone to the Mist Forest yesterday to accept the Star Official Challenge.

Chapter 6: Gui Mei and Ghost Leopard head out to investigate; Yan attacks the formation and suffers a backlash

"Arena, prayer mat, silver-haired man."

"Star Official, rating, rewards, Star Official Challenge Stele..."

Bibi Dong murmured these words, her dark brows knitted together.

She did not feel much regret over missing the opportunity to accept the Star Official's challenge.

After all, as the Pope of the Spirit Hall and a level 98 peak Douluo, the temptation of a few thousand years of random spirit ring age was not that great.

Instead, she was quite curious about the silver-haired man Ghost mentioned who called himself a "Star Official."

Just then, a Platinum Bishop hurried in from outside the Pope's Palace.

He approached the center and said to Ghost, "Greetings, Elder Ghost!"

Then, looking up at the noble woman on the throne, he respectfully shouted:

"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope! I have an urgent matter to report!"

Bibi Dong leaned back against her throne, her long, toned legs crossed, the right resting over the left, and said coldly, "Speak!"

The Platinum Bishop nodded and said:

"Reporting to Your Holiness, a strange incident occurred in Spirit City last night!"

"An arena appeared out of thin air in the Spirit City square!"

"It drew the attention of many people last night!"

"The area around the arena is covered in various powerful defensive formations, and no one can get close!"

"The most critical thing is the mysterious aura emanating from the arena!"
