Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

When he returned to the small courtyard in the east of the city, Ah Yin was collecting the clothes that had been drying in the yard.

When she saw him come in, she didn't ask where he had been, but simply placed a folded piece of clothing on the stone bench: "Are you hungry?"

The rice was still warm in the pot.

Tang San took off his short sword and placed it on the table: "I ate on the way."

I glanced at the crack.

It is indeed still there.

Ah Yin sat down on the stone bench: "So what are you planning to do next?"

Tang San sat down opposite her: "Refine the blade of the short sword again."

Ah Yin didn't ask any further questions.

Dai Mubai stood on the gray-white ground at the edge of the God Realm for a long time, and he could feel the soul power in his body slowly searching for a new path.

He stood there for nearly an hour, then he turned and walked down to the lower realm in the direction he had come from.

When he returned to the lower realm through the rift, it was already dark. He stood at the bottom of the rift for a moment, and then walked towards Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the bottom of the rift the next morning. She did not stop, but passed directly through the rift. When she stood on the gray-white ground at the edge of the God Realm, she felt that the soul power in her body was forming a stable connection with the silver-white light at the edge of the rift.

She stood there for a moment, then walked down to the lower realm in the direction she had come from.

Qian Renxue waited in the courtyard of the offering hall, holding a freshly brewed cup of tea.

Seeing Ling Feng walk in, she pushed her teacup forward: "Are there any of the third batch of tribulation challengers still missing?"

Ling Feng sat down beside her: "Most of them have already returned."

The remaining few will need to stay longer; their positions are not yet fully stable.

Qian Renxue asked, "What about the fourth batch?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment: "Not so fast."

The fourth batch will begin once the third batch has fully stabilized.

Qian Renxue nodded.

Ling Feng picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and felt that the temperature of the tea was just right: "Everything is normal in the God Realm at the moment."

The cracks at the edges have stabilized, and no new cracks have appeared.

Qian Renxue said, "That's good."

She paused for a moment. "Next spring, there should be another group of people coming."

Ling Feng didn't reply. He looked at the old locust tree in the yard that was slowly regaining its shape and felt the flowing forces in the distance continuing to operate in their respective positions.

Chapter 342 Selection Test

Qian Renxue didn't urge him to speak, but simply sat quietly to the side, as if she was confirming in her own way that the aura had indeed stabilized.

The wind blew in from outside the courtyard, passing through the branches of the old locust tree, and cast a dappled shadow of a leaf onto the bluestone slab, like a piece of land being painted.

There were a few more people sitting in the central hall of the divine realm today than usual.

Ling Feng sat on the left side of the main seat, Qian Renxue sat on his right, Jin Chen leaned against a stone pillar, and the Trident of the Sea God stood beside him.

The God of Destruction sat on the other side of the long table, with a slowly updating border map spread out in front of him.

The goddess of life stood behind him, holding a cup of tea, occasionally glancing down at the markings on the map.

Di Tian stood near the door without sitting down, looking as if he was ready to leave at any moment.

The God of Destruction raised his head, shifting his gaze from the map: "The committee has received the list of the fourth batch of tribulations."

Ling Feng asked, "How many people are there?"

The God of Destruction said, "Slightly fewer than the third batch, but the quality is more stable."

Several people's auras are already close to the second threshold, but they still need more time to settle down.

Ling Feng asked, "Then, on what day are they scheduled to undergo their tribulation?"

The God of Destruction thought for a moment: "Early next month."

The committee has confirmed that the rift is stable enough to withstand the impact of a new batch of tribulations.

Qian Renxue asked, "What's the carrying capacity of the edge of the God Realm like now?"

The goddess of life replied, "It has already been redistributed."

The first and second batches of those undergoing tribulation have already settled down.

As long as there isn't a massive influx of people in a short period, the capacity is sufficient.

Qian Renxue nodded.

Jin Chen straightened up from the stone pillar, picked up the Trident of the Sea God and carried it on his shoulder: "I have already checked the crack over there in the sea."

The crack is located on the seabed in the deep sea area. Its edges are slowly widening, but at a very slow pace, and will not affect the stability of the edge of the divine realm in the short term.

Ling Feng looked at him: "Have you confirmed the aura inside the crack?"

Jin Chen said, "It's been confirmed."

That aura didn't belong to the divine realm, nor to the lower realm; it was as if another space was slowly approaching this area.

However, at the current rate of expansion, it will take a long time before we truly make contact.

Ling Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then we don't need to touch it for now, just keep observing it."

Jin Chen nodded: "Then I'll hand over the observation task to a garrisoned soul beast over the sea. It has the capability to monitor the situation of that crack over a long period of time."

Di Tian shifted his stance at the door: "The second batch of soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest have all completed their tribulations."

The last batch of auras has stabilized, with no abnormal fluctuations.

Ling Feng asked, "What's Gu Yuena's side saying?"

Di Tian said, "She said there's no need to arrange another batch for the time being, so that the soul beasts that have already undergone tribulation can adapt to the new state first."

It needs some time to settle down.

The God of Destruction put the map away, folded it neatly, and placed it on the corner of the table: "Then the arrangements for the fourth batch of tribulations will be carried out according to the time confirmed by the committee."

Ling Feng nodded: "Okay."

After the meeting, everyone dispersed.

Ling Feng stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at the sky slowly brightening in the distance. Qian Renxue walked to his side: "What were you thinking about just now?"

Ling Feng said, "I'm wondering how long that rift can last after it opens."

Qian Renxue said, "The committee has assessed that, given the current state, it can be maintained for at least several decades."

Ling Feng said, "That's enough."

Jin Chen walked over from the other side of the corridor: "Why are you two still standing here?"

Let's go downstairs for dinner.

Ning Rongrong told me today that the kitchen made braised pork.

Ling Feng said, "How did she know you would be going back today?"

Jin Chen said, "She doesn't know."

She just knew I was supposed to go back today.

Ling Feng did not refute.

The three of them walked down the gray passage to the lower realm.

As it passed through the crevice, the wind passed overhead, and the silvery-white light at the edge swayed slightly in the airflow before settling back into place.

Ling Feng walked very slowly, as if he wasn't in a hurry to reach a certain destination, but was simply confirming in his own way that the road had indeed been traversed.

By the time they returned to Wuhun Capital, it was already dark.

The old locust tree in the courtyard of the offering hall was slowly returning to its original shape. Ning Rongrong poked half her body out from the entrance of the dining hall: "Brother Jin Chen! The braised pork is still in the pot, come in quickly."

Jin Chen quickened his pace and went inside.

Ling Feng and Qian Renxue walked behind, neither of them speaking.

The courtyard was quiet, and the faint sound of changing of the guard could be heard from the distant city wall, as if they were wrapping up the day in their own rhythm.

The date for the fourth batch of those undergoing tribulation was set for the seventh day of the eleventh lunar month.

That morning, the rift at the edge of the divine realm was brighter than usual, like a window that had been freshly wiped clean, waiting for someone to push it open from below.

Standing at the window of the central hub of the divine realm, Ling Feng could see the figures slowly rising, lighting up one by one along the edge of the rift, like lamps being lit in sequence, each maintaining a steady rhythm in the gray-white morning light.

Du Qingshan was the first among the fourth batch of those undergoing tribulation to reach the edge of the divine realm.

As he passed through the crevice, he felt the texture beneath his feet transitioning from soft soil to a more solid material.

He stopped on the gray-white ground, looked down at his hands for a while, and saw the halo of light at his fingertips steadily spreading out, as if establishing a new connection with the rules of the divine realm.

He stood for a moment, then turned and walked down to the lower realm in the direction he had come from, his steps more steady than before, as if confirming in his own way that the stabilized forces were indeed still there.

The teacher surnamed Chen from Thunder Academy was the second to pass through the rift.

As he stood on the gray-white ground at the edge of the divine realm, the wind passed by him, carrying a scent he had never felt before.

He could feel his soul power establishing a connection with that space, as if it were slowly adjusting its position to adapt to the new environment.

He stood there for a while, then walked down the path he had come from, his pace neither hurried nor slow, as if he had already confirmed the way.

Feng Wanli is the third.

He traversed the crevice quickly, as if he were quite familiar with the path.

He paused on the gray-white ground at the edge of the divine realm. Unlike the others, he didn't examine the power within his body. He simply stood there for a moment, gazing at the slowly flowing points of light in the distance, as if confirming in his own way that those points of light were indeed there.

Then he turned around and walked down to the lower realm in the direction he had come from.

The fourth batch of tribulations passed through the rift one after another, and stood on the gray-white ground at the edge of the divine realm. Then they walked down to the lower realm in the direction they had come from.
