Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After returning triumphantly from the Sunset Mountains, Chu Tian and his companions became heroes of the martial arts world and were praised by people again. However, they did not indulge in the joy of victory, because this confrontation with the dark forces brought many follow-up problems that needed to be solved.

In the Soul Master Academy, the injured students were receiving treatment. Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng, Ye Li, Qin Feng, Xiao Hua and the soul masters of the Xingmang Clan sat together to discuss the impact of this incident.

"Although we successfully defeated the Dark Shadow this time, there must be a bigger force behind those dark soul masters manipulating them." Qin Feng said with a frown, his eyes revealing a hint of worry.

Zhang Meng scratched his head and said, "Who cares? If they dare to come again, we will beat the crap out of them."

Ye Li rolled her eyes at him: "It's easy for you to say that. We must learn lessons from this battle and be more fully prepared."

Xiaohua hugged Xiaobai and whispered, "I think we should study the black crystal ball. Maybe we can find some secrets of the dark forces from it."

The leader of the Xingmang tribe nodded and said, "Xiaohua is right. This black crystal ball contains a powerful dark soul power. It may provide us with clues about the dark forces, such as their organizational structure or their next plan."

Therefore, they decided to take the black crystal ball to the research room of the academy for further research. This research room was specially set up to study various soul power phenomena and soul tools, and it contained many sophisticated instruments and rich research materials.

In the research room, Chu Tian and others carefully placed the black crystal ball on a special soul power sealing platform. This sealing platform can prevent the dark soul power of the crystal ball from leaking, and it is also convenient for them to conduct research.

"This crystal ball looks ordinary, but the dark soul power inside is so strong. It's strange." Ye Li observed the crystal ball carefully. She tried to use her soul power to sense the internal structure of the crystal ball, but as soon as she touched it, she was bounced back by a powerful dark force.

"This dark force is very resistant to our detection. We have to find a way to break through it." Chu Tian said.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "We can try to use soul powers of multiple attributes to detect it at the same time, maybe we can find its flaws."

Everyone thought this was a good idea, so they released their soul powers. Chu Tian's light attribute soul power, Ye Li's ice attribute soul power, Zhang Meng's earth attribute soul power, Qin Feng's sword attribute soul power, and the starlight attribute soul power of the Xingmang clan soul masters gathered together to form a colorful soul power beam, shooting towards the black crystal ball.

This time, their soul power successfully penetrated the dark power barrier on the surface of the crystal ball. As the soul power light penetrated deeper, they saw some scenes inside the crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball, there was a dark space filled with a thick dark soul power. In the darkness, they saw some vague figures, who seemed to be performing some kind of ritual.

"These figures look like dark soul masters, but their rituals seem complicated. I have never seen them before." said a soul master of the Xingmang tribe.

"Let's take a closer look, maybe we can find more details." Chu Tian said.

They concentrated their minds and continued to use their soul power to explore the scene inside the crystal ball. Suddenly, a huge dark vortex appeared in their vision, and in the center of the dark vortex there was a core emitting strong dark soul power.

"This core looks very important. Maybe it is the source of the power of the dark crystal ball." Ye Li said.

Just when they wanted to explore the core further, the crystal ball suddenly released a powerful dark force, which bounced their soul power back.

"Oh no, we may have triggered the crystal ball's defense mechanism." Qin Feng said.

Everyone was pushed back a few steps by the rebounding soul power, but no one was injured.

"It seems that this crystal ball is not so easy to study. We have to try another method," said Zhang Meng.

Just as they were racking their brains for new research methods, there was a commotion in the college.

"What happened?" Chu Tian asked with a frown.

They walked out of the research room and saw a group of students surrounding a young soul master. The young soul master looked very weak, with a terrified expression on his face.

"What's wrong? What happened to you?" Ye Li walked forward and asked softly.

The young soul master trembled and said, "I... When I was practicing in the forest outside the academy, I was suddenly attacked by a dark soul force. The dark soul force was very strong, and I almost couldn't come back."

"Dark soul power? In the forest outside the academy?" Chu Tian's expression turned serious.

"It seems that the dark forces have not stopped their activities because of our victory in Sunset Mountains. They may be secretly planning a new conspiracy." Qin Feng said.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to go to the forest and take a look," said Zhang Meng.

So, Chu Tian and others took some students and headed towards the forest outside the academy.

When they arrived at the forest, they found the atmosphere was very depressing. The forest, which was originally full of life, became gloomy and terrifying, the leaves of the trees turned yellow, and a layer of light black mist filled the ground.

"The influence range of this dark soul power is larger than I thought." Ye Li said with a frown.

They moved forward cautiously in the forest, looking for the source of the dark soul power. Suddenly, a soul beast that was corroded by the dark soul power pounced towards them. This soul beast was originally a cute little deer, but now its eyes turned red and it exuded a dark aura.

"This little deer is controlled by dark soul power, everyone be careful." Chu Tian reminded.

Zhang Meng asked the giant rock bear to block the attack of the deer with its paw, and then the giant rock bear gently waved its paw and knocked the deer to the ground. But the deer did not give up the attack, it struggled to stand up and pounced on the crowd again.

Ye Li let the frost fox release cold air to freeze the deer. Then she used her soul power to soothe the deer and tried to dispel the dark soul power in its body. After some effort, the dark soul power in the deer was dispelled, its eyes returned to normal, and then it ran away in fear.

"These dark forces are so despicable that they don't even let innocent soul beasts go." Xiaohua said angrily.

Continuing forward, they discovered a source of dark soul power. In the center of the forest, there was an ancient tree hole, and the dark soul power around the tree hole was the strongest.

"This tree hole looks suspicious. The dark soul power may be emanating from here." Qin Feng said.

They approached the tree hole and found a dark soul power formation inside the tree hole. This formation was constantly absorbing the surrounding soul power, and then converted it into dark soul power, spreading it to the surroundings.

"We have to destroy this formation to stop the spread of dark soul power." Chu Tian said.

However, this formation was protected by a powerful dark soul shield. Their attacks only caused ripples when they hit the shield, but could not break the shield at all.

"This shield is so powerful, we have to find a way to break it." Ye Li said.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to crack the shield, Chu Tian found some runes flashing on the shield. These runes looked very ancient, and he thought these runes might be the key to cracking the shield.

"Look at these runes. I think they may be the key to breaking the shield. We need to study the meaning of these runes." Chu Tian said.

The leader of the Star Mang tribe had done some research on runes. He walked forward and observed them carefully. After some research, he said, "These runes are an ancient dark seal rune, but they have been tampered with to protect this dark soul formation. If we can modify these runes in the right way, we may be able to break the shield."

So, everyone began to modify the runes according to the instructions of the Star Mang leader. This is a very delicate job that requires extremely high soul power control ability.

With everyone's efforts, the rune was finally modified successfully. As the rune changed, the shield began to flicker and then gradually disappeared.

"The shield has disappeared, let's quickly destroy this formation." Qin Feng shouted.

They released their soul power one after another and launched an attack on the dark soul power formation. Under the joint attack of everyone, the formation was successfully destroyed and the spread of the dark soul power also stopped.

"Phew, that was a close call. If this formation continues to spread the dark soul power, this forest will be completely destroyed." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, a black crack appeared in the sky. This crack exuded a powerful dark soul power, and a huge dark figure slowly emerged from the crack.

"Do you think you can stop us like this? You are too naive." The dark figure made a low voice.

"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked.

"I am a member of the Dark Messenger. You have ruined our plan. You all must die today." The dark figure said, and launched an attack on everyone.

The dark figure's attack was extremely powerful. Its dark soul power transformed into black lightning, striking towards everyone.

Chu Tian flew into the air, dodging the black lightning attack. He fired his soul blade at the dark figure at the same time. Ye Li and the Frost Fox released cold air, trying to freeze the dark figure. Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear rush towards the dark figure, and the giant rock bear's huge power hit the dark figure.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword and moved freely among the attacks of the dark figure. He saw the right moment, rushed towards the dark figure, and stabbed it in the chest with a sword.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai were not idle either. Xiaohua used her soul power to command Xiaobai, and Xiaobai used her speed advantage to run behind the dark figure, releasing a beam of light from time to time to interfere with the dark figure's attack.

The soul masters of the Xingmang Clan released their starlight soul power one after another, and their soul power turned into starlight shields to protect themselves and other students. At the same time, they also shot starlight chains at the dark figure to trap the dark figure.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the dark figure was defeated. Its body turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air.

As the dark figure disappeared, the black crack in the sky gradually closed.

"It seems that the dark forces will not let us go easily. We must strengthen our defense and continue to search for their lair." Chu Tian said.

"That's right, we can't let them destroy the Wuhun World so wantonly anymore." Qin Feng said.

So, after they returned to the academy, they began to strengthen the academy's defense measures. They set up more soul monitoring points around the academy, added defensive formations, and strengthened the students' actual combat training.

At the same time, they did not give up their research on the dark forces, and continued to explore the secrets of the black crystal ball, hoping to find a way to completely eliminate the dark forces.

In the process, they also discovered some new clues about the history of the martial arts world. These clues seem to be related to the origin of the dark forces. They feel that as long as these historical mysteries are solved, they can find the key to dealing with the dark forces.

Thus, a new journey of exploration begins in the world of Wuhun. Chu Tian and others will face more challenges and unknowns, but they are full of confidence because they know that as long as they are united, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
