Chapter 631: The post-war martial arts world and new explorations

After the leader of the dark forces was defeated, the martial arts world seemed to have awakened from a long nightmare. The sun once again shone on the earth, dispelling the haze that had been shrouding the earth for a long time.

Chu Tian and his companions were warmly welcomed by people from all over the country as they returned to the Soul Master Academy from the Dark Abyss.

"Look, it's those heroes! They defeated the dark forces and saved our world!" The residents of a small town shouted excitedly. People poured into the streets, waving small homemade flags in their hands, their faces filled with joy of surviving the disaster and deep gratitude to Chu Tian and others.

"Hehe, this feeling is really good, just like a big star." Zhang Meng grinned and laughed proudly, waving to the crowd on the roadside from time to time. He looked like a hero enjoying the cheers.

Ye Li patted him gently: "Don't get too complacent, we still have a lot of things to do."

Qin Feng looked at the lively scene, feeling relieved: "But seeing the spirit world regain its vitality, all the hard work is worth it."

Back at the Soul Master Academy, the academy was also filled with jubilation. The students excitedly recounted their adventures in the Dark Abyss, and those who did not participate in the battle surrounded them, their eyes full of envy and admiration.

"Wow, you actually defeated the leader of the dark forces. That's amazing!" said a junior student with shining eyes.

"No, you didn't see the scene at that time. It was quite thrilling." A student who participated in the battle described it with great excitement and made exaggerated gestures from time to time.

Chu Tian stood in the square of the academy, looking at the energetic students, and a new idea came to his mind: "Although the leader of the dark forces has been eliminated, we cannot guarantee that there will be no new threats. We must make every student in the academy stronger, not only with strong soul power, but also with the wisdom to deal with various dangers."

"You're right, Chu Tian. We can re-plan the academy's teaching plan and add more courses on actual combat and dealing with special situations." Ye Li nodded in agreement.

So, in the following days, the Soul Master Academy began a series of reforms.

The teachers re-planned the curriculum based on the suggestions of Chu Tian and others. In addition to the traditional soul training courses, many new courses were added, such as "Dark Soul Research and Response", "Survival Skills in Complex Environments", "Combination Tactics of Different Martial Souls", and so on.

"This 'Dark Soul Power Research and Countermeasures' course is really difficult. The characteristics of those dark soul powers are too complicated." A student complained.

"We have to learn it because it's difficult. If the dark forces appear again, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Another student answered seriously.

While the academy was reforming, Chu Tian and others were not idle. They began to patrol around the world of Wuhun, on the one hand to ensure that there were no remaining dark forces, and on the other hand to look for other possible hidden dangers.

One day, they came to a mysterious forest. This forest did not seem to be affected much during the reign of the dark forces, but Chu Tian always felt that something was wrong here.

"This forest looks peaceful, but I always feel like there's something hidden." Chu Tian said with a frown.

"I feel the same way. My Frost Fox Martial Spirit feels a little uneasy here." Ye Li said.

They walked carefully into the forest. There was a light mist in the forest, and the trees were tall and dense. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming golden rays of light.

Suddenly, a strange little animal ran past them. This little animal looked like a rabbit, but its ears were particularly long and its eyes were shining with strange light.

"What kind of animal is this? I've never seen it in the illustrated guide of the Wuhun World." Qin Feng said curiously.

"Maybe this is a newly discovered soul beast. Let's follow it and see." Zhang Meng said.

They followed the little animal quietly. The little animal ran very fast, turning left and right in the forest, and finally went into a hidden cave.

"This cave looks very mysterious. There might be some secrets inside." Chu Tian said.

They walked into the cave, which was dark and damp. There were some faint spots of light flickering on the walls, like the light emitted by some kind of mineral.

When they went deeper into the cave, they found a huge underground space. There were many strange devices in this space, which emitted weak soul power fluctuations.

"These devices don't look like the existing technology in the Wuhun World. Could they be the remains of the ancient civilization?" Ye Li said in surprise.

"No matter what it is, let's study it carefully first." Qin Feng said.

They began to examine these devices carefully. Some of them looked like some kind of energy conversion devices, while others looked like containers for storing soul power.

As they were studying, a device suddenly started up. A blue soul beam shot into the air, and then formed a projection in midair.

A man dressed in ancient costume appeared in the projection, and he seemed to be telling something.

"Is this... some kind of record?" Zhang Meng asked doubtfully.

Chu Tian listened carefully to what the person in the projection said. Although he couldn't understand some of the words, he roughly understood some of them.

"He seemed to be saying that this place was an ancient soul power research base. They were researching a method that could break through the limits of martial soul cultivation, but something seemed to have gone wrong with the research, leading to a catastrophe." Chu Tian said.

"Break through the limits of martial soul cultivation? This sounds tempting, but it will be very dangerous if something goes wrong." Ye Li said worriedly.

As the projection continued, they saw the scene when the disaster occurred. The powerful soul power fluctuation destroyed everything around, many people died in the disaster, and the research base was sealed.

"We can't allow this kind of dangerous research to be started again. We must find a way to completely destroy these devices." Qin Feng said firmly.

However, when they wanted to destroy the devices, they found that these devices had powerful protection mechanisms. Once attacked, they would release a powerful counterattack force.

"This is not going to be easy. We have to find a way to bypass this protection mechanism." Chu Tian said thoughtfully.

They searched for clues in the cave and finally found an ancient notebook in a corner. The notebook contained some information about the device, including how to disable the protection mechanism.

"I see. We need to find the core control hub of the device, and then input soul power according to a specific soul power frequency to disable the protection mechanism." Ye Li said while looking at the notes.

After some effort, they finally found the core control hub and followed the instructions in the notes to successfully disable the protection mechanism.

Then, they began to destroy these dangerous devices one by one. In the process of destruction, they also encountered some minor troubles, such as some devices would suddenly release small soul explosions, but they were all resolved one by one.

When the last device was destroyed, the soul power fluctuations in the cave gradually calmed down.

"Huh, finally done. I hope this kind of dangerous thing will no longer pose a threat to the Wuhun World." Zhang Meng said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

They walked out of the cave and continued to patrol various places in the martial soul world. In the process, they discovered some interesting things, such as some new martial soul awakening methods, rare soul beast habits, and some ancient ruins hidden in remote areas.

These discoveries made them realize that there are still many unknown secrets in the world of martial arts waiting for them to explore. Although the crisis of the dark forces has been temporarily resolved, the new journey has just begun. They must continue to explore and learn in order to better protect the peace and prosperity of the world of martial arts.

The students of the Soul Master Academy are also thriving under the new teaching plan. They will become the future guardians of the Wuhun world, carrying the experience and hopes of their predecessors towards a future full of infinite possibilities.
