Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Qin Feng and his team successfully activated the power of the Dragon Soul. The whole team was in high spirits and returned to the camp with the Dragon Tear Crystal and the Dragon Soul. Everyone was eager to test this new power, but Qin Feng knew that now was not the time to relax.

"We must first figure out how to use the power of the Dragon Soul," Qin Feng looked at the Dragon Soul, which was suspended in his palm, emitting a soft light, "and what is the limit of this power."

"At least now we finally have some capital to fight back." Chu Tian said with a smile, "Otherwise, others would chase us and beat us every time."

"Yeah, we can't always be so passive." Lin Xiao clenched his fists, "We have to take the initiative!"

Ye Li nodded in agreement: "However, we still need more training to ensure that everyone can skillfully use the power of the Dragon Soul."

"That's right." The old man interrupted, "We still need to find the right time and place to test its power."

"Then let's do some basic training in the camp first." Qin Feng decided, "Let everyone get familiar with the basic usage of the Dragon Soul first."

The team returned to the camp and began basic training of the Dragon Soul Power. Everyone tried to connect with the Dragon Soul Power. At first, everyone seemed a little clumsy, and the Dragon Soul Power seemed difficult to control.

“Hey, this thing seems to have a mind of its own!” Zhang Meng tried to concentrate the energy of the Dragon Soul in his hands, but every time he exerted force, the energy dispersed, “It’s like trying to hold water.”

"Don't be impatient, take your time." Ye Li instructed, "You need to relax yourself and don't try to control it with brute force."

Lin Xiao tried to channel the power of the Dragon Soul into her arrow, but it went astray and nearly hit Zhang Meng.

"Hey! Be careful!" Zhang Meng was startled and quickly dodged.

"Sorry, sorry! I'm trying to control myself!" Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly.

"It seems that we need more practice." Chu Tian concluded.

Qin Feng quietly observed the reaction of the Dragon Soul. He tried to communicate with it spiritually, and gradually, he felt a faint response, a warm feeling, as if the Dragon Soul was conveying some information to him.

"Everyone, relax and try to feel the intention of the Dragon Soul." Qin Feng said, "It is not only a power, it is also an existence."

The team began to relax, and slowly, the energy of the Dragon Soul became more stable and controllable. Everyone could feel this power flowing through their bodies.

"That's much better!" Lin Xiao said excitedly, "I can feel its power flowing through my arrow!"

"Me too," Chu Tian clenched his fists, feeling the Storm Wolf's increased strength, "This feels really good!"

"It seems that we are slowly mastering its power." Ye Li said with a smile, "We need to continue practicing."

Just as everyone was concentrating on training, an uninvited guest appeared at the edge of the camp. It was a hooded man, his figure hidden in the shadows. He walked slowly towards the camp without any hostility.

Qin Feng immediately became alert and signaled everyone to stop training and prepare to deal with possible threats.

"Who's there?" Qin Feng asked loudly.

The man did not answer, but took a few steps closer and slowly took off his hood. What came into view was a handsome but slightly tired face. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, both curious and worried.

"I mean no harm." The man spoke in a low and calm voice. "My name is Nok, and I'm a lone adventurer. I heard that you activated the power of the Dragon Soul, so I came to take a look."

"Who are you? Why do you know that we have activated the Dragon Soul?" Chu Tian asked with a frown.

Nok smiled slightly. “News always spreads fast in this world, especially things like yours. Besides, I’m always looking for opportunities to join a strong team.”

"You want to join us?" Lin Xiao was a little surprised. "Why?"

The smile on Nok's face was a little mysterious: "Because I think your goal is the same as mine - to defeat the Dark Cult and protect this world."

Qin Feng looked at Nok, he didn't look like a simple character, but his words seemed sincere and powerful. More importantly, there was no hostility in his eyes, only a firm belief.

"Why should we believe you?" Ye Li remained alert, "You have no evidence for what you said."

Nok nodded. "I understand your suspicion. I can tell you that I was once a member of the Dark Cult."

As soon as these words were spoken, the team suddenly became tense and everyone pointed their weapons at Nok.

"Are you from the Dark Sect?" Zhang Meng asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Knock was not afraid, but smiled: "I was, but I was out of their control a long time ago. I was disgusted by what they did, so I left."

"Why are you telling us this?" Qin Feng asked coldly.

"Because I know the conspiracy of the Dark Cult." Nok said with a serious expression, "They are not just trying to control the Dragon Soul, their plan is more far-reaching and evil. I want to help you stop them."

Qin Feng exchanged glances with his team members, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with this sudden situation.

"Why should we believe what you said?" The old man broke the silence, "You may just want to sneak in and gain our trust."

Nok sighed, took out a small crystal ball from his arms, and gently placed it on the ground: "I know it's not easy for you to believe me, but I can show you some evidence."

He tapped the crystal ball with his finger, and it began to glow, projecting an image. In the image, in a mysterious dark hall, members of the dark sect were performing some mysterious ritual.

"This is the headquarters of the Dark Cult. They are performing an ancient ritual to try to summon some kind of powerful demon," Nok explained. "If they succeed, the whole world will fall into darkness."

"Are these real?" Lin Xiao looked at the scenes in the video, somewhat unable to believe it.

"I won't lie to you." Nok put away the crystal ball. "I want to help you stop this. That's why I came here."

Qin Feng thought for a while, then said to the team members: "We can let him join, but we must monitor him to make sure he doesn't betray us."

"I agree." Ye Li nodded, "He may be able to provide some valuable information."

"Okay." Chu Tian shrugged, "But I'm going to keep an eye on you."

Nok smiled and nodded: "I understand your concerns, I will do my best to prove my sincerity."

Hidden Crisis

Just when everyone decided to accept Nok temporarily, the alarm suddenly sounded at the camp's cordon. Qin Feng immediately became alert: "Oh no, someone is approaching!"

They quickly gathered together and prepared to fight. Soon after, a group of enemies wearing black robes appeared outside the camp.

"They are from the Dark Cult!" Chu Tian shouted, "How did they find us?"

Nok frowned. "They might be following me. I'm sorry I've caused you trouble."

"Don't say so much, kill these guys first!" Zhang Meng clenched the giant rock bear's power and prepared to fight.

As the battle was about to begin, the members of the Dark Cult quickly launched an attack, seeming to know the team's abilities well and attacking their weaknesses specifically.

"Everyone be careful! They are here with bad intentions!" Ye Li warned.

Nok stood aside, staring at the enemy, and suddenly, he drew a long sword and quickly joined the battle. His swordsmanship was superb, and every strike was precise and powerful, obviously a master who had received rigorous training.

"You're quite good at fighting!" Lin Xiao shouted to Nok while fighting.

Nok didn't answer, but just focused on the battle. His swordsmanship was sharp, but every move was intentionally or unintentionally protecting the rest of the team.

"It seems that he is really helping us." Qin Feng thought, "Maybe, we can really trust him."

As the battle progressed, the members of the Dark Sect were gradually suppressed. Qin Feng and his team gradually gained the upper hand with the power of the Dragon Soul and tacit cooperation.

"We're almost winning!" Chu Tian shouted, "Hold on a little longer!"

Suddenly, a huge black-robed man among the enemies roared, and the atmosphere of the entire battlefield changed instantly. His hands began to emit a strange black light, and a strong airflow spread out in all directions.

"Everyone be careful, this guy is not simple!" Ye Li shouted.

The black-robed man waved his hand violently, and a powerful energy wave rushed towards the team. Everyone was knocked backwards by this powerful force and fell to the ground.

"What kind of monster is he?" Zhang Meng asked, panting.

"He is a senior member of the Dark Cult, specializing in dealing with powerful enemies," Nok explained. "We must work together to defeat him."

Qin Feng stood up and clenched the Dragon Soul in his hand: "Everyone, concentrate your firepower on him! This is our only chance!"

The team quickly gained a foothold and gathered all their strength, and the light of the Dragon Soul shone again. Nok followed closely behind, and his sword began to emit a dazzling light, and it was obvious that he was also giving it his all.

"Ready!" Qin Feng shouted, "Attack!"

Qin Feng rushed towards the black-robed man first, with the Dragon Shadow Sword emitting a strong blue light. Ye Li, Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng and Lin Xiao also launched attacks at the same time, each releasing their strongest skills. Nok followed closely behind, his sword pointing directly at the black-robed man's chest.

The black-robed man sneered and tried to defend himself with his dark energy, but in the face of the power of the Dragon Soul, his defense was instantly shattered.

"Now!" Qin Feng shouted.

Nok and Qin Feng exerted force at the same time, and the sword tip slashed across the body of the man in black robe. A dazzling light flashed, and the man in black robe let out a scream. His body was split in half and turned into a black mist that dissipated in the air.

"We won!" Lin Xiao shouted excitedly.

"That's right, but we have also found a new ally." Qin Feng looked at Nok and nodded, "Welcome to join our team."

Nok smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trust, I won't let you down."

After the battle, Qin Feng and his team decided to stay with Nok. They knew that the future battles would be more intense, and having an ally who knew the enemy inside would undoubtedly be of great help to them.

"Our goal remains the same," Qin Feng looked at everyone, "but now, our strength is stronger."

"Yes! We must defeat the Dark Sect!" Chu Tian shouted, and others responded.

"Then let's move on!" Ye Li said firmly.

The team assembled again, ready to meet new challenges. They knew that the road ahead was still full of dangers and unknowns, but they were ready to face any difficulties and enemies.
