Chapter 641 Return and New Mission
After Chu Tian and the others successfully saved the Dream Forest with the Purified Heart, they set out on their journey back to the Soul Master Academy. Along the way, everyone felt particularly relaxed, as if all the burdens they were carrying had been lifted off their shoulders.
"Oh, it was a life-and-death situation this time, but fortunately we succeeded." Zhang Meng grinned, his honest smile full of relief.
"Yes, the secrets of this Fantasy Forest are really complicated. But thanks to our concerted efforts, otherwise we really don't know what to do." Ye Li also said with a smile, her Frost Fox Martial Spirit dancing happily on her shoulders, and she seemed to be happy for this victory.
The students were even more excited, chattering along the way about their various experiences in the Forest of Dreams.
"Do you still remember that giant earthworm soul beast? The mucus was so disgusting." A student said with a frown.
"And that three-headed dog really scared me at the time, but Teacher Qin Feng's sword was so cool!" said another student with shining eyes.
Qin Feng heard this and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This is also because everyone cooperated well, otherwise I can't deal with it alone."
When they approached the Soul Master Academy, they could see from afar that the teachers and students in the academy were looking forward to it.
"Look, they're back!" a junior student in the academy shouted excitedly.
As soon as they entered the college, they were surrounded by teachers and students.
"Teachers, you are finally back. We were worried to death." said a young teacher.
"Haha, don't worry, we are back safely." Chu Tian replied with a smile.
In the square of the academy, Chu Tian and others recounted their entire experience in the Forest of Illusions and Dreams, including the dangerous mutant soul beasts, the complex illusions, and the final battle between the Heart of Purification and the black-robed man. The teachers and students listened with great interest, sometimes amazed, sometimes nervous.
"Wow, there are so many secrets in the Forest of Dreams." A student exclaimed.
"Yes, this also makes us realize that there are still many unknown places in the world of martial arts waiting for us to explore." Chu Tian said, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
However, Chu Tian did not indulge in the joy of victory for too long. He knew that although the crisis in the Dream Forest had been resolved, there might still be other dangers lurking in the Martial Soul World.
In the following days, the Soul Master Academy began to summarize and study the incident in the Forest of Illusions. The teachers and students analyzed the characteristics of the mutant soul beasts, the principles of the illusion, and the source of the power of the Purified Heart.
“We should record all this knowledge, as it may come in handy in the future,” said a senior teacher.
At the same time, the academy also adjusted the teaching content based on the experience of fighting in the Dream Forest, adding training courses on how to deal with complex illusions, as well as explanations of combat techniques for special mutant soul beasts.
"Students, illusions are very dangerous. They will interfere with your mind, so you must learn to keep a clear head in illusions." Ye Li taught the students seriously in class.
"And those mutated soul beasts often have unique abilities. We can't use conventional methods to deal with them. We must learn to observe and analyze." Qin Feng also added.
Just as life in the academy was gradually returning to normal, Chu Tian received a mysterious letter. The letter was sealed with an ancient soul power, and only Chu Tian could open it.
Chu Tian opened the letter and saw that it said: "Chu Tian, the crisis of the Wuhun world has not been resolved, and the dark forces are regrouping in the dark. In the far north, a mysterious dark force is awakening. You and your partners must go to investigate, otherwise the Wuhun world will fall into disaster again."
After reading the letter, Chu Tian's face became very solemn. He immediately summoned Qin Feng, Ye Li and Zhang Meng.
"Take a look at this letter." Chu Tian handed the letter to them.
After reading the letter, the three of them became serious.
"The Far North? That's a very cold and dangerous place." Zhang Meng said with a frown.
"No matter how dangerous it is, we must go. If the dark forces rise again, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Qin Feng said firmly.
"That's right, but we can't go blindly. We have to be fully prepared." Ye Li said.
They began to prepare for the trip to the Far North. First, they collected a lot of warm equipment, after all, the Far North was notoriously cold. They found coats made of special soul beast fur, and soul power heaters that could resist the extreme cold.
Then, they studied some information about the Far North. The information showed that in addition to being cold, the Far North also had many powerful ice-type soul beasts, which were very unfriendly to strange intruders. Moreover, the terrain there was complex, with many ice valleys and ice peaks, and one could fall into a desperate situation if one was not careful.
"It seems that we need to work harder on the use of ice soul power." Chu Tian said.
So, they began to train themselves to control the ice spirit power. Ye Li had an advantage in this aspect because she had the Frost Fox spirit, so she began to guide others.
"Ice soul power is not only used to create cold and freezing, but can also be used to slide on the ice, which will make it more convenient to move in the Far North." Ye Li said as she demonstrated.
During the preparation process, some students also expressed their desire to go together.
“Teacher, we also want to go with you. We have learned a lot in the Forest of Dreams and we will definitely be able to help this time.” A student said firmly.
Chu Tian thought about it and felt that these students had indeed grown a lot after their previous experiences, so he selected a few students with stronger abilities to go to the Far North together.
On the day of departure, teachers and students from the college came to see them off.
"Teacher, you must return safely." The students' eyes were filled with reluctance and worry.
"Don't worry, we will definitely come back." Chu Tian comforted everyone with a smile.
They set out on a journey to the Far North. At first, the weather was relatively mild, but as they continued to move north, the temperature dropped. The cold air cut into their faces like a knife, and even with warm clothing, they could still feel the chill.
"We haven't even reached the Far North yet and it's already so cold. I can't imagine how cold it will be in there." A student said tremblingly.
Suddenly, a group of white wolf-shaped soul beasts appeared in front of them. These wolves were snow-white, with blue eyes flashing. They ran very fast on the snow and surrounded Chu Tian and others in a blink of an eye.
"It's a dire wolf. Everyone, be careful. This kind of soul beast lives in groups and is very ferocious." Ye Li warned.
The direwolves growled at them and began to attack, their claws leaving marks on the snow as they pounced on the group.
Qin Feng took the lead in meeting the enemy. He swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the soul power on the Dragon Shadow Sword interacted with the cold air to form a series of ice blades. The ice blades shot towards the dire wolves. After being hit by the ice blades, several dire wolves fell to the snow, but soon stood up again.
"These direwolves have strong vitality, and it is difficult to knock them down with ordinary attacks." Qin Feng said with a frown.
Zhang Meng let the giant rock bear spirit possess him, and he rushed towards the direwolves. Every time the giant rock bear swung its paw, it could knock a dire wolf away, but the direwolves did not retreat, but attacked more frantically.
Ye Li commanded the frost foxes to release cold air, forming an ice wall around them, temporarily blocking the direwolves' attacks.
"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to break through their encirclement." Chu Tian said.
He observed the direwolf pack and found a larger wolf in the pack. This wolf seemed to be the wolf king, and the other direwolves were all obeying its command.
"Everyone, concentrate on attacking the wolf king. It should be the key to the wolf pack." Chu Tian shouted.
After hearing Chu Tian's words, everyone attacked the Wolf King. Various soul power skills were fired at the Wolf King. The Wolf King sensed the danger and began to command the wolf pack to protect itself.
Some direwolves took the initiative to stand in front of the wolf king, endured the attacks of the crowd, and fell to the snow one after another.
"Keep attacking, don't stop!" Qin Feng shouted.
Under everyone's continuous attack, the wolf king finally couldn't hold on. After being hit by a soul skill, it let out a wail and then retreated with the wolf pack.
"Huh, we finally drove them away." Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.
They continued to move forward and finally stepped into the core area of the Far North. The scenery here was even more spectacular, with huge ice peaks standing in rows and ice valleys that were bottomless.
"It looks so spectacular here, but it's also full of dangers," a student sighed.
At this moment, they felt a powerful dark soul power fluctuation coming from an ice valley.
"This dark soul power fluctuation is very strong. The dark power should be in this ice valley." Chu Tian said.
They walked cautiously towards the ice valley, wanting to find out the truth about the dark power. When they entered the ice valley, they found that it was filled with black fog, and some strange figures were vaguely swaying in the fog.
"Everyone be careful, there may be dangerous things in here." Ye Li warned.
Suddenly, a huge black figure rushed out from the mist. This figure looked like a huge bear, but its body was emitting dark soul power, and its eyes were red and full of tyranny.
"What is this? It looks so scary." A student said in horror.
The dark bear rushed towards them, shaking the ground with every step. A new battle was about to break out in the icy valley of the Far North. Could they deal with this unknown dark creature and uncover the truth about the awakening of the dark power? Everything was still unknown.
