Everyone sneered at the injured Feng Xiaotian. He had actually believed such an obvious scam.

Ghost Douluo's brows furrowed tightly as he stared in confusion at the Silver-Haired Man seated on the cushion.

Huo Wu rushed to the edge of the arena and pounded on the barrier with both fists.

Her voice hoarse with grief, she screamed:

"Xiaotian! Xiaotian!"

"Are you all right?"

Her voice rang out with startling clarity in the stillness around them.

Everyone thought the Star Official Challenge was a scam, and some people left, bored.

Feng Xiaotian felt the injuries inside his body healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Utterly shocked, he staggered to his feet.

He looked down at his girlfriend Huo Wu and tried to reassure her:

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Then, dragging his heavy body, he made his way to the cushion.

His voice weak and feeble, he asked respectfully:

"May I ask, Senior, have I completed the challenge?"

Lin Feng nodded and smiled. "Of course!"

A string of red text appeared in his mind:

[Character: Feng Xiaotian]

[Defense Level: Two Thunder Strikes]

[Rating: D+]

[Reward: Random Second Martial Soul]

Lin Feng looked at Feng Xiaotian, whose aura had returned to normal.

Knowing his injuries had healed completely, he said calmly:

"Feng Xiaotian, in this Defense Challenge, you withstood two Thunder strikes!"

"Your rating is D+, and your reward is a random Second Martial Soul!"

A yellow glow appeared in Lin Feng's hand and flew toward Feng Xiaotian.

In that instant, the yellow orb rapidly took shape.

It formed the shape of a weapon-type Martial Soul and finally settled into its finished form.

A weapon-type Martial Soul appeared, wrapped in red light, its spearhead taking up half the length of the shaft.

The Soul Breaking Spear.

Spirit City Square was now packed with people.

Most were ordinary civilians, though some were Soul Masters native to Spirit City.

Among them were even Titled Douluo elders of Spirit Hall.

Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Ghost Leopard Douluo were there.

So were Spirit Hall's prodigies, Xie Yue and Yan.

Besides them, every major faction had spies stationed there.

At that very moment, everyone stared fixedly at the weapon-type Martial Soul, wrapped in red light, floating before Feng Xiaotian on the arena.

The entire square fell silent. Not a sound could be heard.

Not long ago, everyone had watched Feng Xiaotian suffer grievous injuries.

He had nearly lost his life, and they had thought the so-called Star Official Challenge was nothing but a scam.

They had looked down on Feng Xiaotian, a prodigy with Innate Full Soul Power.

He was a little-known talent among the younger generation of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

He had talent and strength to spare, but little sense.

Who could have guessed that the Silver-Haired Man, who had sat cross-legged on the cushion at the center of the arena from beginning to end, would suddenly say such strange things?

But in the next moment, the man tossed a yellow orb toward Feng Xiaotian.

It transformed before him into a weapon-type Martial Soul, wrapped in red light,

its spearhead taking up half the length of the shaft.

Everyone's expression changed. They could all sense

the formidable aura emanating from the weapon, and it weighed heavily on them.

Down below, Ghost Douluo had been treating Ghost Leopard Douluo's injuries.

He instinctively rose to his feet, staring at the arena in astonishment as he exclaimed:

"This... It's the Soul Breaking Spear, reputed to be the third-ranked weapon-type Martial Soul on the continent!"

His words drew a chorus of sharp gasps from the crowd.

Those who had mocked Feng Xiaotian and looked down on him,

those who had doubted the Star Official Challenge, were now green with envy.

Given Ghost Douluo Gui Mei's status, there was no doubt this was the Soul Breaking Spear.

Everyone knew that the Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect was hailed as the continent's number one weapon-type Martial Soul.

The number one offensive weapon-type Martial Soul was the Seven Kill Sword of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Both were top-tier weapon-type Martial Souls, leaving the second-ranked spot vacant.

The Soul Master World had, by default, ranked the Soul Breaking Spear of the Breaking Clan third.

The Breaking Clan was a model among the Douluo Continent's single-attribute clans.

Together with the Strength Clan, Defense Clan, and Speed Clan, it was known as one of the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

It had once been affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, the greatest sect under heaven.

Unfortunately, the Clear Sky Sect had offended Spirit Hall back then and chosen to seal its gates.

The Four Single-Attribute Clans had suffered greatly at Spirit Hall's hands, sustaining heavy losses.

In the end, their sects fell into decline, and their influence dwindled day by day.

No one had expected the once-renowned Soul Breaking Spear to

return to the Soul Master World in this manner.

Ghost Leopard Douluo struggled to his feet, his face full of shock.

"Ghost Elder, you showed that man such respect earlier!"

"Could it be that this Star Official Challenge is real?"

"Will Feng Xiaotian really obtain the Soul Breaking Spear as his Second Martial Soul today?"

Ghost Douluo pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"The Star Official Challenge is real."

"Yesterday, Nana accepted the Star Official Challenge in the Mist Forest."

"She chose the 'Attack' challenge."

"Her rating was D-, and her reward was a 2,000-year increase to her First Soul Ring."

"That Star Official Challenge Stele in the air records the challenge Nana completed yesterday."

"I never expected Feng Xiaotian to choose the 'Defense' challenge and earn a D+ rating!"

"He already had Innate Full Soul Power at level ten!"

"Now he's gained another top-tier weapon-type Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear!"

"He'll become a peerless genius like Tang San, that monster who had Twin Martial Souls three years ago!"

"For Spirit Hall, that's nothing short of a grave threat!"

Ghost Douluo's words reached the people around them.

They sent shockwaves through the crowd, leaving everyone unable to calm down for a long time.

When they looked at Feng Xiaotian on the arena again,

their disdain and mockery had turned to envy.

Twin Martial Souls—there was no greater sign of an unparalleled genius.

Across the continent's long history, no more than five people had possessed Twin Martial Souls.

Everyone knew that Tang San, who had led Shrek Team to defeat Spirit Hall Golden Generation's team three years ago,

had made a name for himself across the Douluo Continent as a Twin Martial Souls wielder.

The lofty Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong,

was also a rare wielder of Twin Martial Souls, though only a handful of people knew it.

Yet the killing intent in Ghost Douluo's words

made the people and Soul Masters around him shudder.

A saying had long circulated within Spirit Hall, known to all:

"If they cannot be made to serve Spirit Hall, they must be killed by Spirit Hall."

If Tang San had submitted to Spirit Hall three years ago,

he would not have been hunted down, forced to hide in the shadows for three years, and then vanished without a trace.

Now Feng Xiaotian, who also possessed Innate Full Soul Power,

was about to obtain a second Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear.

Spirit Hall would never let a genius like him grow unchecked.

Down below, Huo Wu's face shone with delight.

She was still thrilled and impressed by her boyfriend Feng Xiaotian.

But then two figures burst out of the crowd.

They were Xie Yue and Yan, the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.

Huo Wu's expression turned cold. She snapped:

"Xie Yue, Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan was still injured, but under Ghost Douluo's treatment he had recovered considerably.

He folded his arms and stared coldly at Huo Wu.

"Huo Wu, this is Spirit City!"

"Do you think you and Feng Xiaotian can come and go as you please?"

A Blood Blade appeared in Xie Yue's hand, and he pointed it at Feng Xiaotian on the arena.

"Feng Xiaotian, congratulations on your imminent Second Martial Soul!"
