Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Deep in the soul beast forest, the morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, and the moist air was mixed with the smell of soil and vegetation, as if everything was swallowed up by this ancient forest. Qin Feng and his companions stepped on this unfamiliar land, and there was a subtle sense of tension in the air, but more of it was the ease and tacit understanding between them.

"Qin Feng, can we really find that ten thousand year old soul beast this time?" Ye Li couldn't help but ask, breaking the momentary silence.

"Of course, we have carefully studied the activity patterns of soul beasts. According to intelligence, there is a ten thousand year old soul beast roaming in this area, so that should be correct." Qin Feng's voice was a little confident, as if he could sense the danger ahead, but he appeared to be very relaxed.

Chu Tian looked around as he walked, his ears trembling slightly, as if trying to catch any movement. "Qin Feng, I still think your sense of direction last time is a bit worrying. After all, the last incident with the Flame Tiger was not a good experience."

Qin Feng laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Last time was just an accident. Besides, it ended perfectly in the end."

"Yeah, it ended perfectly," Zhang Meng said with a grin, "but half of my hair was burnt, don't forget that."

"Brother Meng, this is also part of the training," Wang Yue interrupted. She walked lightly beside Zhang Meng, almost jumping forward, as if this dangerous forest was just a big playground to her.

Instructor Ling Yun had been walking at the front of the team. Although he was always serious, he couldn't help but relax a lot when he was with these young people. He looked back at the team, with a hint of barely perceptible relief in his eyes, "Everyone, pay attention. The soul beasts in this area are not friendly."

"Understood, Teacher Ling!" Everyone responded in unison, but still with smiles on their faces.

After walking for about half an hour, Qin Feng suddenly stopped and signaled everyone to be quiet. There was a slight noise coming from the bushes ahead, as if some creature was moving.

"It might be the soul beast we are looking for!" Qin Feng said in a low voice, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Ye Li immediately slowed down her breathing and stared intently ahead. Chu Tian also got into a fighting stance, and Zhang Meng clenched his fists, as if ready for a big battle at any time.

However, the bushes moved suddenly, and a small figure suddenly jumped out. It was a small soul beast, which looked like a hare that had just left its infancy, with its snow-white fur shining in the sun.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing at the same time.

"Is this the legendary ten thousand year soul beast?" Chu Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, I thought it was some powerful creature, but it turned out to be a rabbit." Zhang Meng laughed, his voice echoing in the woods.

"Don't underestimate it," Qin Feng still maintained a serious expression, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "This is a resident of the Soul Beast Forest. What if it has some special abilities?"

Wang Yue walked forward and patted the little rabbit's head gently. The little rabbit did not seem frightened. Instead, it looked at these strange humans curiously.

"It looks pretty cute. Why don't we take it home and raise it?" Wang Yue suggested with a smile.

"We are not here to catch rabbits." Teacher Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, but there was no blame in his eyes.

Just as everyone was teasing the little rabbit, a huge roar suddenly came from the front, shaking the ground slightly. Qin Feng immediately put away his smile and looked forward, "This sound may be our real target coming."

Everyone immediately regained their alertness and their nerves were tense. Zhang Meng waved his hand to signal everyone to move closer to him, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

Qin Feng walked slowly in front, pulling out the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, the sharp blade flashing coldly in the sun. The bushes shook violently again, and then a huge soul beast appeared in their sight.

It was a huge storm ape, covered with gray-brown hair, with strong limbs as hard as steel, and a dangerous light in its eyes. It stood in front of them like a small mountain, with a strong pressure.

"This is the legendary ten thousand year old soul beast, the Storm Ape!" Ling Yun said in a low voice, his face becoming serious.

The appearance of the Storm Ape instantly changed the atmosphere. Everyone knew that this would be a difficult battle. Qin Feng slightly turned sideways, signaling everyone to disperse and form a siege.

"Remember, don't fight it head-on, look for its weakness." Ling Yun said as he began to gather his soul power. His Thunder Dragon Martial Soul faintly emerged behind him.

The storm ape had obviously noticed these uninvited guests. It let out a deafening roar, and a strong airflow swept in along with the roar. The entire forest seemed to be shocked by this roar.

"Get ready!" Qin Feng shouted and took the lead in launching an attack. His Dragon Shadow Sword slashed out a sharp light and went straight to the face of the Storm Ape.

The Storm Ape reacted very quickly, and a huge claw swept over, bringing strong wind pressure, trying to repel Qin Feng. Qin Feng dodged nimbly, and the sword tip was still pointed directly at the Storm Ape's vital point.

At the same time, Chu Tian and Ye Li also launched attacks. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf spirit quickly possessed him, and his speed instantly increased to the extreme, turning into a shadow and attacking the Storm Ape's lower limbs from the side. Ye Li released her Frost Fox spirit, and a chill spread with her movements, instantly freezing one of the Storm Ape's hind legs.

The Storm Ape roared and tried to break free from the cold air, but Ye Li's Frost Fox Martial Spirit was obviously not so easy to deal with. The Storm Ape's movements instantly became slow, giving Zhang Meng and Wang Yue the opportunity to attack.

Zhang Meng roared, and the giant rock bear martial spirit possessed him. He seemed to have turned into a moving fortress. He smashed his fist into the storm ape's chest with such force that even the air shook.

Wang Yue's Light Deer Martial Spirit released a soft light that quickly enveloped everyone. Under the light, the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everyone's physical and spiritual power also recovered.

Instructor Ling Yun always stood at the edge of the battlefield, with sharp eyes, observing the Storm Ape's movements at all times. His Thunder Dragon Martial Spirit was ready to strike a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

Under the siege of the crowd, the Storm Ape gradually showed signs of fatigue. Its roar became low, and its movements were no longer as sharp as before. Qin Feng saw the right opportunity, jumped up suddenly, and stabbed the Storm Ape's neck with the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, which was its only weakness.

The Storm Ape tried to dodge, but under the double suppression of the Frost Fox and the Giant Rock Bear, its movements became slow, and ultimately it failed to avoid Qin Feng's fatal blow.

The sword flashed, and the Dragon Shadow Sword pierced the Storm Ape's neck accurately. The huge body shook for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a loud thud. After struggling for a while, the Storm Ape finally calmed down.

"Success!" Chu Tian shouted excitedly, his face full of joy.

Qin Feng took back the Dragon Shadow Sword and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle was extremely fierce, with the cooperation of everyone, they finally succeeded in defeating this powerful ten thousand year soul beast.

"This collaboration is really great. Everyone has played to their strengths." Teacher Ling Yun walked forward and nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Everyone has worked hard." Qin Feng said with a smile. Although he is the core of the team, he knows that this victory is the result of everyone's joint efforts.

"Yes, especially Ye Li's Frost Fox, it really helped a lot just now." Wang Yue exclaimed.

Ye Li smiled slightly, "Without everyone's cooperation, I can't do this."

"Okay, let's take a break first. We still have to prepare to collect spirit rings next." Teacher Ling Yun suggested.

Everyone nodded and began to find a flat place to sit down. Qin Feng looked at the fallen Storm Ape, his heart filled with pride, but he knew that this was only a small victory in their journey, and there would be greater challenges waiting for them in the future.

Zhang Meng walked to the side of the Storm Ape and patted its body hard. "This guy is really tough. My hand is almost numb from the shock."

"So, don't underestimate the enemy." Chu Tian said with a smile. He also walked over and gently kicked the body of the Storm Ape. "But to be honest, this guy is really not simple."

Qin Feng walked to the side of the Storm Ape and began to prepare to collect the soul ring. He concentrated his mind and injected soul power into the Dragon Shadow Sword. As the sword light flashed, a huge black soul ring slowly emerged from the Storm Ape's body.

"Ten thousand year soul ring!" Ye Li exclaimed, "This is truly a rare treasure."

"Indeed, this will greatly enhance Qin Feng's strength." Teacher Ling Yun nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

Qin Feng took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and touched the black soul ring. The soul ring instantly turned into a ray of light and quickly merged into Qin Feng's body. His body shook slightly, and powerful soul power fluctuations emanated from his body.

"What a strong power!" Qin Feng closed his eyes and felt the soul power surging in his body. This power made him feel stronger than ever before.

"Congratulations, Qin Feng!" Chu Tian patted his shoulder with a sincere smile on his face.

"Thank you everyone, I couldn't have done this without you." Qin Feng opened his eyes, his face full of gratitude.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back. This mission was completed very well." Instructor Ling Yun announced.

Everyone smiled with ease and started to prepare to return. Although the Soul Beast Forest was still full of dangers, they were much more relaxed than when they came.

"I hope the next hunting operation will be as smooth as this one." Ye Li said softly.

"As long as we unite as one, no difficulties can stop us." Qin Feng answered confidently.

With the joy of victory, they set out on their journey home. They knew that even greater challenges were waiting for them, but they also understood that as long as they worked together, there was nothing they could not overcome.

In this forest full of dangerous soul beasts, they not only gained strength, but also gained a deeper friendship, which will be their most powerful weapon against the dark sect in the future.

The body of the Storm Ape was gradually swallowed by the shadow of the forest, but Qin Feng and his companions had left their mark in this ancient forest.
