Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

Chu Tian and others, together with the mysterious man, embarked on a journey to find the source of martial spirits. Their figures gradually disappeared in the worried eyes of everyone in the Soul Master Academy.

"This journey will not be easy. According to ancient records, the source of the martial spirit may be hidden in one of the most dangerous places in the world." The mysterious man said as he walked, his black robe swaying gently in the wind.

"Hmph, no matter how dangerous it is, we have all experienced many storms." Zhang Meng patted his chest, and the giant rock bear martial spirit faintly emerged, as if showing his strength.

They walked along the winding path through the dense forest. The soul beasts in the forest seemed to sense the unusual aura on them and hid in the dark to watch.

"Everyone, be careful. Although these soul beasts have not actively attacked, they may suddenly attack." Chu Tian reminded, his thunder soul power flashing faint electric light around his body.

Suddenly, a small snake-like soul beast with wings jumped out from the tree and sprayed a colorful smoke towards them.

"Oh, what is this?" Zhang Meng waved his arms to drive away the smoke.

"This is a psychedelic snake. The smoke it spews out can cause hallucinations." Ye Li said, and she quickly commanded the Frost Fox to release a stream of cold air to blow away the smoke.

Qin Feng was quick-witted and swift-handed. He swung the Dragon Shadow Sword lightly, and a soul blade flew towards the psychedelic snake. The snake flexibly twisted its body to avoid the attack, and then disappeared among the dense branches and leaves.

"It seems that there are quite a few small troubles along the way." The mysterious man shook his head helplessly.

Continuing forward, they came to a wide river. The river was turbulent, the water was a strange color, and it emitted a faint soul power fluctuation.

"This river is a bit strange. We can't cross it rashly." Chu Tian said.

The mysterious man squatted down, dipped his hand in a little river water, put it under his nose and sniffed it: "This river water contains a special soul power substance, which may have an effect on our soul power."

Just as they were thinking about how to cross the river, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the river. The whirlpool became bigger and bigger, and a soul beast that looked like a turtle but was huge emerged from the whirlpool.

"This is the vortex turtle. It guards this river and won't let us pass easily." said the mysterious man.

The vortex turtle raised its head, stared at Chu Tian and others, and let out a low roar.

"It seems that I have to pass this level first." Qin Feng gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly, ready to fight.

The whirlpool turtle launched the first attack, it opened its mouth and sprayed a powerful stream of water towards them. The water stream shot towards them like a cannonball.

Chu Tian gathered the thunder spirit power in his hands and formed a thunder shield in front of him. When the water hit the shield, a huge splash of water was created.

Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear spirit possess him and rushed towards the vortex turtle. He jumped onto the vortex turtle's back and slapped it hard with his bear paw. The vortex turtle felt the attack on its back and its body began to shake violently, trying to throw Zhang Meng off.

Ye Li commanded the Frost Fox to release cold air, trying to freeze the Vortex Turtle's movements. The cold air spread to the Vortex Turtle's body and condensed into a thin layer of ice on its shell.

But the vortex turtle was very powerful. It struggled hard and all the thin ice on its body shattered.

"This guy has thick skin and tough flesh, and is not easy to deal with." Zhang Meng shouted.

The mysterious man was observing the actions of the vortex turtle. He discovered that every time the vortex turtle launched an attack, its abdomen would be briefly exposed.

"Everyone, pay attention to its belly, that's its weak point." shouted the mysterious man.

After hearing what the mysterious man said, everyone adjusted their attack direction. Qin Feng saw the right moment, and when the vortex turtle attacked again, he quickly stabbed at its abdomen. The Dragon Shadow Sword easily penetrated the vortex turtle's abdomen, and the vortex turtle let out a painful wail.

Ye Li and the students also took the opportunity to launch an attack, releasing various soul power skills towards the injured abdomen of the vortex turtle.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the whirlpool turtle was finally defeated. Its huge body sank to the bottom of the river, and the whirlpool in the river gradually disappeared.

"Huh, I finally solved this problem." Zhang Meng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

They found some sturdy trees, made a simple raft, and then carefully crossed the river.

After crossing the river, they entered a barren desert. The desert was extremely hot, and the high temperature caused their soul power to be consumed faster.

"Why is it so hot in this damn place?" Zhang Meng complained. He felt like he was about to be roasted dry.

"Everyone, save your soul power and try to use physical methods to deal with possible dangers." Chu Tian said.

After walking in the desert for a while, they found some strange footprints. The footprints were very large and looked like they were left by some giant creature.

"These footprints don't look simple, everyone please be alert." Qin Feng said.

Suddenly, a sandstorm swept towards them. In the sandstorm, a huge sandworm-like soul beast loomed.

"It's a sandworm, everyone be careful of its attack!" the mysterious man shouted.

Under the cover of the sandstorm, the sandworm rushed towards them. Its body emerged from the sand, its huge mouth opened, and it bit the student closest to it.

Chu Tian quickly flew into the air and used his thunder spirit power to create a bolt of lightning, which struck the sandworm. After the sandworm was struck by lightning, its body shook slightly, but it did not stop attacking.

Ye Li let the Frost Fox release cold air, trying to lower the temperature around and weaken the power of the sandstorm.

Qin Feng rushed towards the sandworm, and he used the "Dragon Shadow Piercing" skill, and the Dragon Shadow Sword stabbed at the sandworm's head. The sandworm sensed the danger, and it twisted its body to avoid Qin Feng's attack, and then swept towards Qin Feng with its tail.

Qin Feng somersaulted in the air and avoided the sandworm's tail attack.

Zhang Meng was below the sandworm, and he used the power of the Giant Rock Bear Martial Spirit to attack the sandworm's abdomen. His bear paw slammed hard on the sandworm's abdomen, causing the sandworm to feel pain and bounce upward.

The students also used their skills. Some used earth-based skills to create sand pits, trying to trap the sandworms in them; some used wind-based skills to blow away the sandstorm, exposing the sandworms.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the sandworm's attack was gradually curbed. But the sandworm was very tenacious, and it kept shuttling through the sand, looking for opportunities to attack.

"We have to find a way to defeat it once and for all," said the mysterious man.

He observed the movements of the sandworms and found that every time the sandworms emerged from the sand, there would be a small vortex.

"Everyone, pay attention to those small whirlpools. That's where the sandworms come out. We set traps there." said the mysterious man.

After listening to the mysterious man, everyone started to set up various traps at the whirlpool. Some set up soul traps, and some set up physical traps, such as spike traps.

When the sandworm came out of the sand again, it fell into the trap. It was pierced by the spikes in the trap, and its body was bound by the soul trap, unable to move.

"Now, everyone attack together!" Chu Tian shouted.

Everyone launched a final attack on the sandworm, using various soul skills and physical attacks. The sandworm was finally completely defeated under everyone's attack.

"The soul beasts in this desert are not easy to deal with." Ye Li wiped the sweat from his face.

They continued to move forward in the desert, and after several days and nights of arduous journey, they finally walked out of the desert.

After leaving the desert, they came to an ancient mountain range, which was towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist and exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

"According to ancient records, the source of martial spirits may be in this mountain range." said the mysterious man.

They climbed up the mountain path, which was rugged and steep, and if they were not careful they could fall into the abyss.

During the climb, they encountered some flying monkey-shaped soul beasts. These monkeys were very flexible, jumping between the peaks and throwing stones at Chu Tian and others.

"These little monkeys are quite naughty." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

Although the attacks of these monkey-type soul beasts are not very strong, their numbers are large and they can move freely between the mountains, causing a lot of trouble to Chu Tian and others.

Qin Feng used the "Dragon Shadow Sword Shadow" skill, and the Dragon Shadow Sword transformed into countless sword shadows in the air and flew towards the monkeys. The sword shadows hit some monkeys, and the monkeys screamed in pain and fled.

However, some monkeys continued to attack. Ye Li let the frost fox release cold air to cool the surrounding air. The monkeys felt the cold and their movements became slow.

Zhang Meng took the opportunity to use the power of the Giant Rock Bear Martial Spirit to knock away some approaching monkeys.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the harassment from the monkey-type soul beast was finally resolved.

They continued to climb up and finally reached the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, there was a huge cave. The cave exuded a strong soul power fluctuation, which made them feel both familiar and strange.

"This should be the source of the martial spirit." said the mysterious man.

They walked into the cave carefully. The light in the cave was dim and some strange runes were flashing on the walls.

As they went deeper into the cave, they suddenly heard a low roar. A huge soul beast that looked like a Qilin appeared in front of them. The Qilin was emitting colorful light all over its body, and its eyes were full of majesty.

"This is the Qilin beast that guards the source of the martial spirit. It is very powerful and we must deal with it with caution." The mysterious man said seriously.

The Qilin beast looked at Chu Tian and the others, and stomped its hooves gently on the ground, causing the entire cave to shake. A new battle was about to break out. Could they defeat the Qilin beast, find the source of the martial spirit, and protect it? All this was still unknown.
