Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After the crisis in the Sunset Mountains was resolved, the martial arts world returned to a brief period of peace. In the Soul Master Academy, the students were practicing hard, while Chu Tian, ​​Qin Feng and others were discussing in the meeting hall how to further strengthen the defense measures.

"Last time in Sunset Mountains, the words of the man in black robe made me very uneasy. We must be more proactive." Chu Tian said with a frown.

"Take the initiative? Are you saying that we should take the initiative to find the lair of the dark forces?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened.

Ye Li rolled her eyes at Zhang Meng and said, "Do you think it's that easy? We don't even know where they are."

Qin Feng stroked his chin and thought: "Perhaps we can look for clues in those places that have been corroded by the dark soul power, and maybe we can find something."

Just when everyone was discussing heatedly, a student ran in in a panic.

"Teacher, there is a strange man outside who wants to see you." The student said breathlessly.

"Strange person?" Chu Tian stood up and said, "Let's go out and take a look."

When they arrived at the entrance of the academy, they saw a man standing there wearing a big hat, a shabby black robe, and a big cloth bag on his back. His face was covered tightly by the hat, so his appearance could not be seen clearly.

"You are Chu Tian, ​​Qin Feng and others, right?" the mysterious man asked in a hoarse voice.

"Who are you? What do you want from us?" Chu Tian asked.

The mysterious man chuckled and said, "As for me, I know a lot of secrets. For example, some secrets about the dark forces."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested.

"Then tell me quickly." Zhang Meng said impatiently.

The mysterious man kept it a secret: "Oh, this is not free information. I have walked such a long way and I am hungry and thirsty."

Ye Li shook her head helplessly and said to the student next to her: "Go get some food and drinks."

After a while, the students brought food and water. The mysterious man didn't hesitate to eat them up.

After eating and drinking, the mysterious man burped and said slowly: "The dark forces you encountered before are just the tip of the iceberg. They have a base camp in a very hidden place, and that place is protected by a powerful dark barrier."

"Then do you know where that place is?" Qin Feng asked.

The mysterious man pointed to the north and said, "It's deep in the far north. It's covered with ice and snow, and the environment is harsh. Ordinary people can't get there. There are also many soul beasts that have been transformed by dark soul power guarding it."

"The far north? That's not a easy place to travel." Chu Tian said with a frown.

"Hehe, this is not the most difficult part. Before entering their base camp, there is another test. It is a maze composed of dark soul power, full of various traps and illusions." The mysterious man said proudly.

"How do you know so much?" Ye Li looked at the mysterious man suspiciously.

The mysterious man shrugged and said, "As for me, I used to be a member of the dark forces, but then I found them too evil, so I left them."

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"How can we believe what you say?" Zhang Meng asked.

The mysterious man took out a small black object from the bag: "I stole this from them. It has a special mark of the dark forces on it. You can find someone to identify it."

Chu Tian took the small item, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Ye Li: "Ye Li, you know more about these, take a look."

Ye Li studied it for a while and nodded: "This mark is indeed unique to the dark forces."

The mysterious man smiled and said, "How about it? Do you believe me now?"

Chu Tian looked at the mysterious man: "Even if we believe you, why did you tell us this?"

The mysterious man sighed and said, "Like I said just now, I don't want to see the dark forces rule this world. Their methods are too cruel. Although I have escaped from them, I have no ability to stop them, so I hope you can succeed."

Qin Feng nodded: "Okay, then we believe you. But how do we get through that dark maze?"

The mysterious man took out another small bottle from the bag: "This bottle contains a special soul power potion. Just sprinkle it on the wall of the maze to temporarily dispel the dark soul power and show the correct path. However, the amount of this potion is limited, so you have to use it sparingly."

Chu Tian took the small bottle: "Thank you very much. What are your plans next?"

The mysterious man shook his head: "As for me, I plan to continue traveling around and find a quiet place to spend the rest of my life."

After saying that, the mysterious man turned and left.

Chu Tian looked at the mysterious man's back and said to everyone: "Although we can't be completely sure that what he said is true, this is our only clue at the moment, and we must give it a try."

Everyone nodded.

Therefore, Chu Tian, ​​Qin Feng, Ye Li, Zhang Meng and some outstanding students began to prepare supplies for the trip to the Far North.

They prepared thick cotton clothes, enough food and water, as well as various props to deal with soul beasts and dangers.

A few days later, they set out on their journey to the Far North.

The further north we went, the colder the weather became. The students were all shivering with cold, but Zhang Meng laughed and said, "This is a bit of an adventure."

When they entered the Far North, they saw a vast white world in front of them. Huge icebergs stood before them, and the howling cold wind scraped their faces like a knife.

"It's so cold here that my snot is about to freeze into icicles," a student said jokingly.

Suddenly, a huge white soul beast jumped out from the iceberg. This soul beast looked like a polar bear, but its body was several times larger than an ordinary polar bear, and its eyes flashed with cold blue light.

"This is an Arctic ice bear, everyone be careful." Ye Li warned.

When the Arctic ice bear saw them, it roared and pounced towards them.

Qin Feng rushed forward first, swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and a soul blade flew towards the Arctic Ice Bear. The Arctic Ice Bear swung its paw and shattered the soul blade.

Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear spirit possess him and rushed towards the Arctic Ice Bear. The two bear-shaped spirit beasts collided with each other, making a huge roar.

Chu Tian flew into the air, and his thunder spirit gathered into lightning, striking at the Arctic Ice Bear. After being struck by lightning, the Arctic Ice Bear's body shook, but it did not retreat.

Ye Li let the frost fox release cold air to blend in with the surrounding cold environment. The Arctic ice bear was somewhat lost in the ice mist, roaring angrily and running around.

The students also used their martial arts skills to attack the Arctic Ice Bear.

After a fierce battle, the Arctic Ice Bear was finally defeated. But its fall also attracted more soul beasts, and a group of snow wolf-type soul beasts surrounded them.

"It looks like another tough battle is about to begin." Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword.

The crowd did not retreat at all. They stood back to back, ready to face new challenges.

The snow wolf-type soul beasts were extremely fast, and they pounced towards everyone like white lightning.

Chu Tian launched a large-scale thunder attack, temporarily blocking the attack of the snow wolf-type soul beast. Ye Li set up a layer of ice wall around to prevent the soul beast from attacking from the side.

Zhang Meng and the Giant Rock Bear waved their paws in front, slapping the approaching Snow Wolf Soul Beasts away. Qin Feng flexibly shuttled among the soul beasts, and every swing of the Dragon Shadow Sword could injure a soul beast.

The students provided support with their soul power skills from behind. Although they lacked experience, they gradually grew in the battle.

With everyone's joint efforts, the group of snow wolf-type soul beasts was also repelled.

"This far north is really full of dangers." said a student, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"This is just the beginning. We still have to find the base camp of the dark forces." Chu Tian said.

They continued to move towards the depths of the Far North, and along the way they encountered many soul beasts transformed by dark soul power. These soul beasts were more ferocious and more difficult to deal with than ordinary soul beasts.

Once, they encountered a mutated snow leopard soul beast. This snow leopard was extremely fast, and its attacks had the effect of dark corrosion.

When Qin Feng was fighting it, he accidentally got his arm scratched by its claws. He immediately felt a sharp pain at the wound, and the dark soul power began to erode his body.

"Qin Feng, how are you?" Ye Li asked anxiously.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. This little injury is nothing."

He used his soul power to try to force the dark soul power out of his body. With everyone's help, Qin Feng finally cleared the dark soul power.

As they continued to go deeper, the breath of dark soul power became stronger and stronger. Finally, they saw a huge dark barrier.

"This should be the base camp of the dark forces that the mysterious man mentioned." Chu Tian said.

The barrier exudes a strong dark aura, and there are many mutated soul beasts patrolling around.

"How do we get in?" asked a student.

Chu Tian took out the small bottle given by the mysterious man: "We rely on this."

They approached the barrier cautiously and, following the mysterious man's instructions, sprinkled the soul power potion on the barrier.

The dark soul power on the barrier really began to dissipate, and an entrance appeared.

"Let's go in." Chu Tian took the lead and walked into the entrance.

Inside was a dark maze, with dark soul power emanating from the walls. They followed the mysterious man's instructions, sprinkled potions, and began to look for the right path.

However, the maze is full of traps. Flames will suddenly burst out from some places, and deep pits will appear in other places.

One of the students accidentally triggered a trap, and a huge block of ice fell towards him. Zhang Meng was quick to use his bear paw to break the ice.

"Everyone be careful, this maze is not easy to navigate." Zhang Meng reminded.

They walked carefully in the maze, and every step was full of danger.

Suddenly, a fork in the road appeared in front of them.

"Which way should we go?" Ye Li asked.

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Let's try the one on the left first."

They walked along the road on the left for a while, but found themselves in a dead end.

"It seems that this road is not right. Let's go back and take the one on the right." Chu Tian said.

When they returned to the fork in the road and headed to the right, they found that the surrounding environment began to distort.

"This is an illusion, don't be fooled." Qin Feng reminded.

Everyone concentrated and used their soul power to resist the influence of the illusion.

After overcoming many difficulties, they finally got out of the maze.

A huge dark castle appeared before my eyes. This was the base camp of the dark forces.

"Finally found it, everyone get ready to fight." Chu Tian said with clenched fists.

Everyone was on high alert, heading towards the dark castle. A great battle was about to break out.
