Chapter 13 The storm is rising

As Qin Feng and his friends became more famous inside and outside the academy, the Soul Master Academy decided to hold a grand celebration to honor the outstanding students who fought against the invasion of the Dark Cult. Vice President Feng Jian personally invited Qin Feng and his friends to attend and introduced them to the academy's senior management and important people from the outside world.

"This ceremony is not only a recognition of your contributions, but also an opportunity to enhance the reputation of the college." Vice Dean Feng Jian said to Qin Feng.

On the day of the ceremony, the academy was packed with people, including representatives from various sects, envoys from the kingdom, and many soul masters. The ceremony was arranged in a gorgeous and solemn manner, with the academy's auditorium decorated with brilliant lights and the academy's flags hung all around, showing a solemn atmosphere.

Qin Feng and his companions were led to the main table as representatives of the academy, and their appearance attracted many eyes. Some older soul masters cast admiring glances at them, while some young students were full of admiration and yearning.

"It seems that we have become the focus of everyone's attention." Chu Tian said in a low voice, his eyes sweeping across the crowd in the auditorium.

Ye Li nodded gently: "This also means that our every move is being watched, we must be more cautious."

The climax of the ceremony was the speech by Vice President Feng Jian. He stood on the podium and told everyone present about the heroic performance of Qin Feng and others in the fight against the dark sect, winning applause and cheers from the audience.

"You are the pride of the academy." Feng Jian's voice echoed in the auditorium, "I hope you can continue to maintain this courage and determination and bring more glory to the world of soul masters."

However, just as the ceremony was in full swing, Qin Feng suddenly felt an uneasy atmosphere. He keenly noticed that some of the uninvited guests present were emitting strange spiritual power fluctuations.

"Everyone be careful, I feel danger approaching." Qin Feng reminded his companions in a low voice, looking around vigilantly.

At this moment, the light in the auditorium suddenly dimmed, and a powerful dark force erupted from the crowd. Several soul masters in black robes suddenly appeared, and their martial spirits exuded an evil aura.

"People from the Dark Cult!" Ye Li exclaimed, and she quickly released the Frost Fox and prepared to fight.

The leading black-robed soul master sneered and said, "What a lively scene! We can't miss such a grand event."

Vice President Feng Jian immediately issued an order: "Protect the students and eliminate the enemies!"

A melee broke out instantly. The soul masters of the Dark Sect were clearly well prepared, and their attacks were fierce and organized. Qin Feng and his companions quickly entered combat mode and engaged in a fierce duel with the enemy.

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword and rushed towards the leading black-robed soul master. The two souls collided in the air, making a deafening roar. The black-robed soul master's soul was a huge dark beast, which opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Qin Feng.

"Everyone, spread out and don't be held back by them!" Qin Feng commanded loudly.

Chu Tian, ​​Ye Li and Zhang Meng dealt with other members of the Dark Sect respectively, and their soul beasts sent out strong attack waves on the battlefield. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf was extremely fast and constantly launched surprise attacks from the side, while Ye Li's Frost Fox released a strong cold air to slow down the enemy's movements, and Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear used its strong body to block the enemy's attacks.

During the battle, Qin Feng quickly determined the opponent's weakness and used the "Thunder Shadow Breaking" from the Nine Dragon Shadow Styles. The sword light struck the black-robed soul master's vital points like lightning. The black-robed soul master was forced to retreat. He did not expect Qin Feng's attack to be so fierce.

"It seems like you little brats are really capable." The black-robed spirit master gritted his teeth, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "But your strength is not enough!"

After saying that, he suddenly cast a powerful dark spell, and a dark energy wave swept across the entire auditorium. Qin Feng felt a huge pressure coming, and he immediately blocked the frontal impact with the Dragon Shadow Sword, but was still knocked back a few steps.

"Quick, attack the source of his spell!" Ye Li shouted, and she and Chu Tian quickly cooperated and launched a joint attack.

With the help of his companions, Qin Feng concentrated again. The Dragon Shadow Sword flashed with dazzling blue electric light. He used the "Thunderbolt" from the Nine Dragon Shadow Styles. A strong sword light directly hit the source of the black-robed soul master's spell.

The black-robed soul master screamed, and his body was blown away by the sword light and fell heavily to the ground. As he fell, other members of the dark sect were also defeated, and the battle gradually subsided.

After the battle, Qin Feng and his colleagues stood in the devastated auditorium. Vice President Feng Jian quickly organized people to clean up the scene and comfort the frightened students and guests.

"This attack was clearly carefully planned," Feng Jian pondered. "The Dark Cult's goal is clear: to destroy the academy's core strength."

"They didn't hesitate to launch the attack in public. Obviously, they have reached the point of disregarding everything," Chu Tian said angrily.

"They must have a bigger conspiracy." Ye Li said, "We must find their lair as soon as possible and eradicate them completely."

Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes firm: "No matter how sinister their plans are, we will not back down. We must let them know that justice will prevail in the end."

Vice President Feng Jian nodded and looked at Qin Feng and the others with appreciation: "Your courage and determination have filled the academy with hope. Next, we will intensify our investigation into the Dark Sect, and you must also be prepared to face greater challenges."

After Qin Feng and his companions returned to the dormitory, they began to summarize the lessons learned from this battle and formulate future response strategies. They knew that the Dark Sect would not give up easily, and the future confrontation would only become more intense.

"We must continue to improve our strength. Only in this way can we gain the upper hand when facing more powerful enemies." Qin Feng said.

"That's right, we must unite and keep breaking through ourselves." Ye Li said firmly.

"I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will be able to defeat the Dark Sect." Chu Tian clenched his fists, full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Meng also echoed loudly: "We will definitely become the strongest team!"

As their determination grew stronger, Qin Feng and his partners began to engage in more rigorous training. They knew that only through continuous efforts could they remain invincible in this crisis-ridden world.
