Chapter 518 Strange Bedtime Stories and Mysterious Dreams

After the farce of the dumpling competition the day before, the entire Tianqiong Academy finally returned to its normal rhythm. However, Qin Feng and his team members were lazily lying in the dormitory at this time. They were all too full and didn't even have the strength to move.

Zhang Meng was lying on the bed, rubbing his round belly, and sighed with satisfaction: "Hey, my belly is about to become a 'dumpling empire'..."

"Aren't you the physical version of 'Giant Dumpling' now?" Chu Tian said half-jokingly, holding a copy of "Wuhun World Oddities" in his hand that he had found from somewhere unknown.

Qin Feng glanced at Chu Tian's tattered book and asked, "What weird stuff are you reading? Isn't it another scary story this time?"

"Hehe, this time is different," Chu Tian smiled mysteriously, leaned over and whispered, "This book talks about those strange events that once happened in our soul master world. It is said that there are some stories about dreams in it."

"Dream?" Ye Li happened to be leaning against the window. After hearing Chu Tian's words, she asked curiously, "What strange things can there be in a dream?"

“Don’t underestimate these dreams.” Chu Tian shook his finger as if to keep someone in suspense. “The book says that there is a special kind of dream that can take you into another world, where everything is real and even more dangerous than our usual practice.”

Zhang Meng sat up immediately after hearing this. It was obvious that he was particularly sensitive to the word "danger". "You mean, you can fall into a dangerous world while sleeping? Then why bother sleeping? Just practice!"

"Don't be so excited. I'm not trying to scare you." Chu Tian put on a serious look and continued, "According to legend, some soul masters will accidentally enter this kind of dream, and the experiences in the dream will be so real that people can't distinguish them. Moreover, once you are injured in the dream, you will have corresponding scars on your body when you wake up."

After listening to it, Qin Feng shook his head: "This kind of story sounds scary, but I think you are making it up again."

Before Chu Tian had time to explain, Zhang Meng yawned: "Whether it's true or not, I just want to have a good sleep now. What kind of dream is this? I'm too lazy to even dream."

After saying that, Zhang Meng lay down carelessly and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Feng smiled helplessly and prepared to rest. After all, after a whole day of hard work, everyone needed to relax. Soon, a slight snoring sound came from the dormitory. Only Chu Tian was still obsessed with his strange book and laughed strangely from time to time.

It was late at night, and the whole academy was quiet. Qin Feng, however, did not sleep well, and Chu Tian's story about dreams seemed to echo in his mind. He was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him gradually became blurred, and a slight dizziness came over him. When he opened his eyes again, everything in front of him had completely changed.

He stood in an unfamiliar forest, the air around him was slightly cool, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was a breeze. Strangely, Qin Feng found himself holding the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand and wearing combat equipment, as if he was about to face a battle.

"Where is this? Why am I here?" Qin Feng quickly calmed down, tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Just then, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away: "Boss, you are here too? This place doesn't look like the academy's training ground!"

Qin Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Meng waving a branch around, his face full of confusion and surprise. Next to him, Chu Tian and Ye Li were also looking around the surrounding environment, and it was obvious that they were also involved in this strange place.

"Have we...entered the dream that Chu Tian mentioned?" Ye Li asked tentatively, unable to hide the confusion on her face.

"I don't know either." Qin Feng frowned and said, "But everything here is too real, it doesn't seem like a dream at all."

Chu Tian jumped up excitedly when he heard it: "I told you! This is a dream world! I think those stories are correct!"

While everyone was still discussing what was going on, the bushes in the distance suddenly shook violently, as if some huge monster was approaching them. Qin Feng subconsciously raised his vigilance and whispered, "Whether this is a dream or something else, everyone should be careful!"

Sure enough, after a while, a huge soul beast came out from the bushes. Its body was covered with metal-like scales, its four legs were as thick as steel pillars, it had two curved horns on its head, its eyes were fierce, and it exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"Is this... a ten thousand year old soul beast?" Chu Tian's voice trembled a little.

"How could we possibly encounter a ten thousand year old soul beast in a dream?" Zhang Meng was obviously a little panicked, and the branches in his hands were so tight that they turned white.

Qin Feng made a quick decision: "No matter if it's a dream or not, get rid of this guy first!"

After that, he rushed forward first, and the Dragon Shadow Sword drew a blue electric light in the air, heading straight for the soul beast's head. Zhang Meng and Ye Li also reacted and immediately followed. Although Chu Tian was nervous, he was not to be outdone, and wielded his colorful soul skills to join the battle.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the soul beast's attack power far exceeded their expectations, almost putting them in a desperate situation several times. Just when Qin Feng thought he was about to be hit by the soul beast's giant claws, suddenly a piercing bell sounded -

Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the dormitory, with a snoring sound coming from beside him. It turned out that Zhang Meng was snoring, and Chu Tian actually fell asleep holding the "Strange Stories".

"Was just now... a dream?" Qin Feng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still feeling the reality of the dream in his heart.

Just as he was getting ready, he suddenly discovered a faint scratch on his arm, as if he had just been scratched by a soul beast's claws during the battle. Qin Feng's heart sank suddenly: "Could it be... that dream was real?"

At the same time, Chu Tian suddenly woke up, rubbing his eyes and said, "Boss, I just had a super real dream! We fought a huge soul beast in the dream!"

Zhang Meng continued to snore, completely unaware of how brave he had just been in his dream.

Ye Li also woke up, her expression solemn: "I had the same dream, could it be...what did we really experience?"

Qin Feng frowned and looked at his arm, then looked at Chu Tian and Ye Li, and finally sighed: "It seems that this dream is not simple."

Although they returned to reality, the doubts in their hearts did not dissipate. The reality and danger of this dream world made Qin Feng realize that they might have been involved in an adventure that was more complicated than they imagined.

"It seems that we have to be more careful." Qin Feng whispered, "Perhaps, this is just the beginning."
