Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

The next morning, Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng and Ye Li walked to the cafeteria as usual, ready to enjoy a hearty breakfast. The air outside the dormitory was fresh, and the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the campus, giving people a sense of peace.

"Yesterday was really exciting." Zhang Meng bit his steamed bun and said incoherently, "But I really like this kind of adventure. I feel like a hero."

Chu Tian rolled his eyes at him and said with a smile: "You are a foodie, you should say less, so as not to choke on your mouth."

"Speaking of yesterday, I have a question." Ye Li suddenly spoke up, looking somewhat puzzled, "Who sent that letter? And why did he remind us to be careful of the Lord of Shadows?"

"This is also the question I have been thinking about." Qin Feng nodded, "Since the messenger can find us, he obviously knows what we are doing. Maybe he is our ally?"

"But we can't rule out the possibility that it was the enemy who deliberately set a trap." Ye Li said thoughtfully.

"No matter what, we have to be careful." Qin Feng sighed, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

"After dinner, let's go find Vice President Feng Jian to see if the research team has made any progress," Chu Tian suggested.

"Okay, let's talk after we finish eating." Zhang Meng swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun and patted his stomach in satisfaction, "This steamed bun is so delicious!"

After breakfast, the group was about to go to see Vice President Feng Jian when someone suddenly blocked their way. The person was wearing a gorgeous robe, had a handsome face, and a cunning light in his eyes.

"Hey, good morning, everyone." The visitor greeted with a smile.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked with a frown. The other person looked very unfamiliar.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Shaotian. I just came from the Xingluo Empire. I am a guest student specially invited by the academy." Lin Shaotian said familiarly.

"Xingluo Empire?" Chu Tian raised his eyebrows. "You came here from so far away to be a guest student?"

"Yes, I heard that your academy is full of hidden talents, so I came here specially to learn from you." Lin Shaotian said with a smile, his eyes swept over Qin Feng and the other three, and finally stopped at Qin Feng, "Especially brother Qin Feng, I have heard of your great name."

"My name?" Qin Feng was a little surprised. "How do you know my name?"

"Of course. Your performance in the Soul Master Competition has been rumored to be miraculous." Lin Shaotian continued to laugh, "By the way, I heard that you went to a mysterious ruins yesterday. How was it? Did you find anything interesting?"

Qin Feng immediately became alert when he heard this. The man in front of him obviously knew their whereabouts very well, and he couldn't help but suspect that he had other intentions.

"We just went to take a look and didn't find anything special." Qin Feng answered calmly, trying to hide his inner vigilance.

"Really? What a pity." Lin Shaotian smiled meaningfully, "However, I believe we will have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. After all, we are all soul masters, so it is only natural for us to help each other."

"Of course." Chu Tian responded with a smile, but there was a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I still have some things to do. Let's talk another day." Lin Shaotian waved his hand and turned to leave.

Watching Lin Shaotian's back disappear at the end of the corridor, Zhang Meng frowned: "This guy doesn't look like he's here to study, but rather to monitor us."

"He is indeed suspicious." Ye Li nodded, "Besides, why is he so interested in our visit to the ruins?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "No matter where he comes from, we must be more careful. Let's go find Vice President Feng Jian first to see if there is any new information."

Several people came to the vice president's office and knocked on the door. Feng Jian's voice came from inside: "Come in."

Qin Feng pushed the door open and saw Feng Jian sitting behind a desk covered with various ancient books and materials, while several old professors who looked quite knowledgeable stood beside the desk.

"Vice President, let's see if there are any new discoveries." Qin Feng asked.

Feng Jian raised his head and smiled: "You came at the right time. We have just done some research on the fragments of the crystal ball."

"Did you find anything?" Chu Tian asked impatiently.

"This crystal ball does contain powerful dark energy." Feng Jian said, "We suspect it may be the core of some kind of seal, used to suppress or control some powerful force."

"The core of the seal?" Ye Li asked in surprise, "Could it be the power that seals the Lord of Shadows?"

"It's very likely." Feng Jian nodded, "But it can't be confirmed yet. We need more time and information to conduct further research."

Qin Feng frowned and said, "Then what can we do?"

"Don't touch the ruins for now." Feng Jian warned, "Although the crystal ball has been broken, no one can guarantee that there will be no danger there again. The academy will send people to investigate further, you just need to do your training well."

Qin Feng nodded: "I understand, Vice President. We will be careful."

"Oh, I have something else to tell you." Feng Jian said, picking up a letter from the table. "This is from someone who calls himself 'Feng Ying'. He said he hopes you will pay attention to suspicious people around you, especially the guest student Lin Shaotian who just joined."

"It's him!" Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I said there's something wrong with him!"

"Who is Fengying?" Chu Tian asked.

Feng Jian shook his head: "This letter is not signed, and we don't know who he is. But judging from the tone of the letter, Feng Ying seems to be on our side."

"It seems that there is really something wrong with Lin Shaotian." Qin Feng said thoughtfully, "We need to pay attention to his every move."

"Yes." Feng Jian nodded. "You should pay more attention and don't act rashly. The academy will strengthen its surveillance of him."

Several people said goodbye to Feng Jian and walked out of the office. As soon as they reached the training ground, they suddenly heard a loud noise.

"What happened?" Qin Feng asked puzzledly.

"It seems like Lin Shaotian is challenging others." A student passing by whispered, "He just arrived today and has already defeated several senior students."

"It's really a trouble." Chu Tian frowned, "Let's go over and take a look."

They walked quickly towards the training ground and saw Lin Shaotian standing in the middle of the field, holding a long sword that flashed with cold light, with an arrogant look on his face. Several senior students were standing aside, covering their wounds, and they had obviously just been defeated by Lin Shaotian.

"Who else wants to challenge me?" Lin Shaotian looked around and said loudly, "Is there no one in the Soul Master Academy who can fight?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Qin Feng's eyes, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Ye Li.

"Brother Feng, don't be impulsive." Ye Li whispered, "He is obviously here to provoke us. We can't fall for his trick."

Qin Feng took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

"I'll do it!" At this time, a familiar voice came. Everyone turned around and saw Du Ming walking forward with a provocative look on his face, holding a golden sword in his hand.

"Who do you think you are?" Lin Shaotian sneered, "Just a small character."

"Stop talking nonsense, watch out for the sword!" Du Ming shouted, and the golden long sword with a sharp sword energy pierced Lin Shaotian. Lin Shaotian smiled contemptuously, dodged lightly, and swung the long sword to block Du Ming's attack.

"Is that all you can do?" Lin Shaotian sneered, and swung his sword back at Du Ming's throat.

Du Ming stepped back hastily, narrowly avoiding the sword, his face turning pale.

"Too weak." Lin Shaotian shook his head disdainfully, "Next."

"Stop!" Qin Feng couldn't bear it any longer and stood up, "That's enough!"

Lin Shaotian turned around and saw Qin Feng, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Oh, brother Qin Feng finally came out? I thought you would always hide behind the scenes."

"Your behavior has crossed the line." Qin Feng said coldly, "If you want to challenge, then come at me!"

Lin Shaotian's mouth curled up slightly: "That's exactly what I meant. Come on, let me see how powerful the genius of the academy is."

The students around them made way, leaving the center of the training ground for Qin Feng and Lin Shaotian. The two of them confronted each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Lin Shaotian raised his sword and said with a smile: "I hope you won't let me down."

Qin Feng drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the blade flashed with lightning: "I will do my best."

The two of them said no more and launched their attacks at the same time. The swords crossed and the crisp sound of metal collisions rang out in the air. Lin Shaotian's swordsmanship was swift and fierce, and each move was powerful, while Qin Feng used his flexible steps and quick reactions to continuously resolve the opponent's offensive.

"What a fast swordsmanship!" Chu Tian was stunned watching from the sidelines, "Lin Shaotian is not simple!"

"Brother Feng is not inferior." A trace of worry flashed in Ye Li's eyes, "I hope he can hold on."

On the field, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves. Lin Shaotian gradually became impatient, and roared, the sword light became brighter, and a strong sword energy rushed directly to Qin Feng. Qin Feng did not dare to be careless, and the Dragon Shadow Sword performed "Thunder Breaking Shadow", and the sword light met Lin Shaotian's attack like lightning.

The two sword lights collided in the air, making a deafening explosion. The strong shock wave spread in all directions, forcing the surrounding students to retreat.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Qin Feng and Lin Shaotian were still standing there, confronting each other. Lin Shaotian's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Qin Feng to be able to block his full-strength attack.

"You are indeed quite capable." Lin Shaotian sneered, "But this is far from enough!"

After saying that, Lin Shaotian suddenly changed his moves, and the sword flashed and went straight to Qin Feng's throat. Qin Feng's eyes focused, and the Dragon Shadow Sword quickly met, and the two swords collided again.

"Dang!" With a loud noise, the two men took a few steps back and stabilized their bodies.

Lin Shaotian panted and stared at Qin Feng: "You are very good, I will remember you."

Qin Feng also panted slightly and clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword: "I'm at your service anytime."

Lin Shaotian snorted coldly, put away his sword, and turned to leave. Qin Feng looked at his back, and his heart was alarmed. He knew that this duel was just the beginning, and there were more challenges waiting for them.

After the battle, Qin Feng was about to leave the training ground when he suddenly heard a deep voice in his ear: "You did a good job."

Qin Feng looked back and saw a dark figure standing in the corner of the training ground. The man was wearing a black cloak and a mask on his face, so his face could not be seen clearly.

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"I am the Wind Shadow." The man whispered, "I am here to help you. The power of the Shadow Lord has begun to infiltrate the academy. You must be careful."

"Why do you want to help us?" Qin Feng asked.

Fengying did not answer, but said coldly: "You don't need to know my identity. Just remember that Lin Shaotian is not your only enemy, there are more dangers lurking in the dark."

After saying that, Feng Ying turned and disappeared into the darkness. Qin Feng stood there, thinking about Feng Ying's words. Obviously, things were much more complicated than they imagined.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and made up his mind. No matter how many enemies there were ahead, he would fight with his companions to protect the peace of the academy.
