Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After returning to the academy, Qin Feng immediately reported their findings to Vice President Feng Jian. Feng Jian's face was solemn, but he did not seem surprised.

"You have done a good job. This information is very important." Feng Jian said, but then he added, "However, you should not investigate this matter any further. I will send someone to handle it."

Qin Feng noticed that Vice President Feng Jian seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't say much. After leaving the Vice President's office, Qin Feng and his partners gathered together to discuss the next steps.

"I don't think things are that simple. The vice-president may know more about the situation." Ye Li whispered, her frost fox pacing restlessly beside her.

"We can't just give up here." Chu Tian said firmly, "Since the academy may have been infiltrated, we must find out the truth ourselves."

Just as they were about to continue their investigation, a strange man in black robes appeared at the door of Qin Feng's dormitory. His face was hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

"Don't go any deeper." The man in black robe warned in a low voice, "You don't know what kind of enemy you are facing."

Qin Feng was unmoved, and instead asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to stop us?"

The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your current strength is not enough to fight against this organization. Their power is far beyond your imagination. If you continue to investigate, the consequences will be disastrous."

"If that's the case, why don't you tell us more of the truth?" Qin Feng asked.

The man in black robe did not answer, but turned and disappeared into the night, leaving only the last words: "When you are truly prepared, you will naturally know everything."

The appearance of the man in black robes made Qin Feng and his partners realize that they must become stronger in order to cope with future challenges. They decided to put aside the investigation for the time being and focus on improving their strength.

In the following days, Qin Feng and his partners practiced hard day and night, constantly challenging their limits. Vice President Feng Jian also noticed their efforts and decided to give them an advanced training task.

"Your strength has greatly improved. It's time to accept more difficult challenges." Feng Jian said, "This time you will go to the ruins of an ancient battlefield. There, you will encounter more powerful soul beasts and more dangerous environments."

Qin Feng's eyes were firm: "We are ready."

They entered the ruins of an ancient battlefield, which was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, as if traces of past wars still lingered in the air.

"Everyone, be careful. The soul beasts here may be stronger than any we have encountered before." Chu Tian reminded. His storm wolf growled beside him and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

Not long after, they encountered a powerful ancient demon lion in the center of the ruins. It was covered with thick scales, and its eyes flashed with a fierce light. The ancient demon lion pounced on Qin Feng and let out a deafening roar.

Qin Feng calmly swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the blade cut through the air, making a low humming sound. He worked closely with his partners, using their respective skills to engage in a fierce battle with the Ancient Demon Lion.

"Focus on attacking its right side, that's its weak point!" Ye Li shouted, and her Frost Fox released icy cold air, trying to slow down the movements of the Ancient Demon Lion.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng seized the opportunity and used the fatal blow of the Dragon Shadow Nine Styles - Thunderous Power. The sword light slashed down like lightning and directly hit the vital point of the ancient demon lion.

After the ancient demon lion fell, a soul ring flashing with purple-black light emerged. Qin Feng absorbed it and felt the huge increase in his strength. His Dragon Shadow Sword also became more powerful because of this battle.

"We did it." Zhang Meng said, panting, with a tired smile on his face.

"This is just the beginning." Qin Feng slowly put away the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes determined, "We must continue to become stronger in order to uncover the truth behind it."
