Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

After successfully luring the dark forces into a trap and dealing them a heavy blow, Chu Tian and the others finally had a moment to breathe. However, their eyes soon focused on the mysterious crystal ball again, because the mystery of the origin of the martial arts world hidden in it was waiting for them to interpret.

The old rune master seemed particularly excited at this time. His eyes were fixed on the ancient words and patterns emerging in the crystal ball, as if he was exploring an endless treasure.

"Hey, this thing is really a treasure!" Zhang Meng came over and looked at the crystal ball curiously, "But what do these words and pictures mean? I can't understand them no matter how hard I try."

The old rune master pushed up his glasses and said slowly, "The words and patterns on it record the origin of the Wuhun world and the existence of a mysterious power. It is said that a long, long time ago, the Wuhun world was created by a powerful creator god, and before this creator god left, he left behind a mysterious power that can determine the fate of the Wuhun world."

After hearing what the old rune master said, everyone fell into deep thought. Chu Tian frowned and said, "Where is this mysterious power now? If it is obtained by the dark forces, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ye Li also said worriedly: "Yes, we must find this power and not let the dark forces succeed."

Although Qin Feng was injured, his eyes were still firm: "No matter how strong this force is, we can't retreat."

The old rune master continued to interpret the information in the crystal ball: "According to these records, this mysterious power is sealed in a mysterious place. It can only be opened with a specific key. And this key seems to be related to some clues we found before."

"What clues? Tell me quickly." Zhang Meng asked impatiently.

The old rune master pointed to a pattern on the crystal ball, on which was drawn an ancient key and some strange symbols. "These symbols may be a code. We need to crack these codes to find the whereabouts of the key."

So, everyone started to get busy again. They were divided into several groups, studying the symbols and codes on the crystal ball. Chu Tian led a group of people to look through the ancient books in the academy, hoping to find records related to these symbols; Qin Feng led another group to look for clues at the battle scene to see if they could find any clues related to the key; Ye Li and Zhang Meng were responsible for protecting the old rune master and helping him interpret the information in the crystal ball.

In the college library, Chu Tian and his team members buried themselves in piles of books, trying to find useful information.

"Oh, there are too many books. When will I be able to find them?" a student complained.

Chu Tian glared at him and said, "Stop complaining and look for it seriously. This is related to the fate of the entire Wuhun world."

After a hard search, they finally found some records in an ancient book that were similar to the symbols on the crystal ball.

"Found it! Here are the explanations of these symbols." Chu Tian said excitedly.

According to the records in the books, these symbols are an ancient language that represent different places and directions. Chu Tian and others began to try to crack the code based on these explanations.

At the battle scene, the team led by Qin Feng also made some discoveries. They found a strange stone next to the body of a member of the dark forces, on which were engraved some patterns similar to the symbols on the crystal ball.

"This must be an important clue." Qin Feng said.

They took the stone back to the academy and met up with Chu Tian and others. After comparison and research, they found that the pattern on the stone was closely related to the code on the crystal ball.

At this time, the old rune master also made new progress. Through in-depth analysis of the information in the crystal ball, he gradually cracked part of the code.

"I have cracked some codes, and these codes point to an ancient relic. It is said that the relic may contain the key to unlock the seal of mysterious power." said the old rune master.

After hearing what the old rune master said, everyone felt excited and nervous. They were excited because they finally had a clue to find the key, but they were nervous because the ruins must be full of dangers.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the ruins quickly." Zhang Meng said.

However, Chu Tian fell into deep thought. He knew that going to the ruins to look for the key was a very dangerous thing, and they could not be sure whether there was really a key in the ruins. If they failed, the dark forces might take the opportunity to attack again, and then the Wuhun world would be even more dangerous.

"We can't act rashly." Chu Tian said, "We need to plan carefully to ensure that everything goes well."

Everyone started to discuss, and they put forward various plans and suggestions. Some thought that they should send people to investigate the ruins first, and make a decision after understanding the situation; some thought that they should unite with other soul master organizations to go to the ruins to find the key; and some thought that they should strengthen the defense of the academy first to prevent the dark forces from attacking again.

In the heated discussion, everyone fell into a difficult decision. They knew that no matter which option they chose, it was full of risks and challenges. However, they also understood that they had to make a decision because the fate of the martial arts world was in their hands.

Finally, Chu Tian made a decision. "We will first send people to investigate the ruins and strengthen the academy's defenses. If the investigation results show that there are clues to the key in the ruins, we will join forces with other soul master organizations to look for the key."

Everyone nodded, indicating their agreement with Chu Tian's decision. So, they began to select investigators and prepared to go to the mysterious ruins. In the process, they were also always on guard against the dark forces' attacks again, because they knew that this battle was far from over.
