Chapter 5: First Battle with the Dark Cult

In the Soul Master Academy, Qin Feng and his companions have gradually adapted to life here, and have improved their strength through constant trials and training. However, as their strength grows, an air of uneasiness is also spreading secretly.

On this day, Vice President Feng Jian of the college convened an emergency meeting, and all freshmen and tutors were summoned to the auditorium.

"Dear students, I have important news to tell you." Feng Jian's voice echoed in the auditorium, "According to reliable information, the Dark Sect has been active near our academy recently. Their goal is to disrupt our training and even attempt to sabotage our Soul Master Conference."

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the auditorium, and everyone was shocked and angry at this sudden news.

"In order to protect the safety of the academy and everyone, we have decided to organize a clearing operation to completely eliminate the influence of the dark sect." Feng Jian continued, "This operation will be led by our senior students and instructors, but we also need the cooperation of you freshmen."

Qin Feng and his partners looked at each other with determination in their eyes. They knew that this would be a real challenge and an opportunity to show their strength.

Before the operation began, Qin Feng's team was assigned to a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to go to the forest outside the academy and collect clues about the activities of the dark sect.

"Everyone, be careful, this mission is very dangerous." Ye Li warned, her frost fox standing guard beside her with sharp eyes.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement: "We must remain vigilant and report immediately if we find anything abnormal."

They quietly entered the forest and carefully searched every corner. After a period of searching, they finally found some suspicious signs in a hidden valley - several obvious traces of human trampling and some residual campfire ashes.

"This is most likely the temporary camp of the Dark Cult." Zhang Meng whispered. His giant rock bear sniffed nearby and seemed to have discovered something as well.

"Let's go back and report quickly." Chu Tian said, but as soon as he finished speaking, a group of members of the dark sect suddenly emerged from the surrounding bushes and surrounded them.

"How dare you, little brats, trespass into our territory!" sneered the leading member of the dark sect. His martial spirit was a black dragon, emitting an evil aura.

Qin Feng held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly and said calmly: "We are not afraid of you. Everyone, be careful!"

The members of the Dark Cult launched an attack, and Qin Feng and his companions quickly fought back. Chu Tian's Storm Wolf shuttled between the enemies, Ye Li's Frost Fox released cold air, and Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear used its powerful force to block the enemy's attacks.

Qin Feng concentrated his mind and swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, each strike was precise and powerful. Their tacit cooperation gradually became apparent, and the members of the Dark Cult were beaten back step by step.

"Retreat!" Seeing the situation was not good, the leading member of the dark sect ordered a retreat and quickly fled with the remaining men.

Qin Feng and his companions did not pursue, they knew that the most important thing at this moment was to bring the news back to the academy.

They quickly returned to the academy and reported their findings and encounters in the forest to Vice President Feng Jian.

"You have done a great job. This information is very important to us." Feng Jian said with satisfaction, "Next, we will organize a comprehensive cleanup operation. I hope you can continue to participate."

Qin Feng and his partners nodded without hesitation. They knew that this was not only for the safety of the academy, but also for their own more stable growth on this land.

The clearing operation began. The instructors of the academy led the students, divided into several teams, and went deep into the forest to search for the remnants of the dark sect.

Qin Feng's team was assigned to an area with complex terrain. They moved forward cautiously, ready to deal with possible raids at any time.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of them, followed by a fierce attack. The members of the Dark Cult appeared again, and this time their attack was more fierce, obviously trying to make up for their previous failure.

"Everyone be careful, they are coming with great force this time!" Qin Feng reminded loudly, and the Dragon Shadow Sword flashed with blue electric light, meeting the enemy's attack.

A fierce battle unfolded in the forest. Qin Feng and his partners worked in perfect harmony, and everyone played to their best. In the end, they successfully defeated the members of the Dark Cult and completely expelled them from the forest.

After the battle, Qin Feng and his companions returned to the college and were warmly welcomed and praised. Vice President Feng Jian praised their bravery and outstanding performance in front of all the teachers and students of the school.

"Your performance is outstanding. It not only demonstrates your strength, but also proves your team spirit," said Feng Jian.

Qin Feng and his partners smiled at each other. They knew that this victory was not only a reflection of their strength, but also a testimony of their friendship and tacit understanding.

After returning to the dormitory, Qin Feng said to his friends: "Today's battle made me understand that only by constantly improving myself can I be at ease when facing greater challenges."

Ye Li nodded and said, "Yes, we must continue to work hard and become stronger."

Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also expressed their agreement. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future, and they were ready to face all tests and trials.
