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

Jin Chen was silent for a moment: "So, are you planning to try again tonight?"

The boy said, "I want to try again."

If that wall is thinner tonight than it was last night, I should be able to get through it.

Jin Chen said, "Then I won't disturb your rest."

Just tell me the results tomorrow morning after you try it tonight.

Jin Chen walked out of the hut and headed back along the coastline.

The sea breeze blew in from the side, skimming over the fine sand on the beach, then swirling around your feet and disappearing into the distance.

He returned to the inn, closed the door, and sat down on the bed.

The next morning, when Jin Chen returned to the hut, the boy was already standing at the door.

His face held a look of confirmation, as if a long-standing issue had finally been resolved, but he hadn't yet had time to come up with a complete explanation.

He said, "I went through it."

Jin Chen paused at the doorway, then went inside and sat down at the table: "What did you see?"

The boy sat down opposite him: "After passing through that wall, I found myself standing inside a circular structure."

The torus was wider than I could see from behind the wall, and the light at the edges was brighter than I had seen before.

It is rotating slowly, and the direction of rotation is fixed and has not changed.

A dark substance flows on the inner side of the torus, like a slowly moving liquid, with a continuous glow on its surface.

I was standing right in the center of the ring when I noticed a gap on the inside of the ring. It wasn't a broken gap, but an opening that was already there.

The opening was small, inside the ring, like a door that wasn't completely closed.

Jin Chen asked, "Where do you think that opening leads?"

The boy thought for a moment and said, "I don't know."

But I could feel the opening slowly widening; it was slow, but it was definitely getting bigger.

Jin Chen was silent for a moment: "Did you go in and check again this morning?"

The boy said, "Not yet."

I wanted to wait until you came before trying again.

Jin Chen stood up: "Then let's try it now."

I watched from the side.

The boy walked to the beach outside the cabin. After standing still, he didn't immediately get into the zone. Instead, he stood there for a while, as if waiting for his breathing to harmonize with the surrounding environment.

After about six or seven breaths, his body leaned forward slightly, as if he were moving in a certain direction.

After a while, his breathing became more steady, like a door being pushed open more smoothly.

Jin Chen stood a few steps away, not making a sound to disturb him.

After about ten breaths, the boy's breathing returned to a normal rhythm. He opened his eyes and said, "The door is a little bigger than yesterday. Its edges are slowly expanding, very slowly, but the direction is definite."

I didn't go through the opening; I just stayed inside the ring for a while, observing how the opening changed.

Jin Chen asked, "After it expanded, have any new changes occurred?"

Chapter 375 The Reply from Sea Breeze City

The boy thought for a moment: "After the opening widened, the brightness of the ring did not change, but the flow speed of the liquid inside the ring changed in the area near the opening, as if it was being attracted by the opening."

Jin Chen said, "Then you don't need to rush to go in today."

Let's take a break and write down your observations. We'll see if there are any new changes tomorrow.

The news from Haifeng City arrived three days after Jin Chen returned to Wuhun Capital.

Jin Chen sat in the courtyard of the offering hall, opened the letter, and read aloud: "He said that the opening has widened a bit more."

Compared to two days ago, it has widened by about one finger's width.

The expansion speed is not fast, but the direction is fixed and there is no deviation.

He added that he tried looking out of the opening yesterday and could see a flowing expanse of light outside, without any solid structure, only continuously flowing light.

Qian Renxue sat by the stone table: "That circular structure is the core of that space."

That opening might be an entrance to something deeper.

Ling Feng said, "According to the description in the letter, if the opening continues to widen, he should be able to pass through it soon."

The scene he sees may change then.

Jin Chen folded the letter and put it away: "Should we send someone over to stand guard when he passes through that opening?"

Ling Feng thought for a moment: "Not for now."

Maintain your current contact methods.

After he passes through the opening, we'll decide on our next step based on his description.

In Tang San's blacksmith shop, Chen Yuan stood in front of the counter, holding a newly forged piece of iron in his hand.

Tang San placed it on the counter and tested the sharpness of the edge with his fingertip: "This is a replacement for the blade at the top of the weathervane, a little thicker than the previous one."

Give it a try.

Chen Yuan reached out and took it, weighing it in his hand: "It feels about the same weight as the previous one, but the edges are a bit thicker."

Tang San said, "Leaf blades that are too thin are prone to deformation during long-term use, while leaf blades that are too thick will affect sensitivity."

The thickness of this piece has been slightly adjusted, which should reduce the frequency of deformation while maintaining sufficient sensitivity.

Chen Yuan nodded: "Then I'll try it out for a while and see how it goes. If there's anything that needs adjusting, I'll come back to you."

Tang San said, "Okay."

Come over anytime if you have any questions.

Lin Mu arrived in the afternoon.

He stopped under the eaves, raised his hand and reached out the branch. The bluish-gray leaf lit up faster and with a more stable brightness than before.

He kept it dark for a longer time than before before it slowly dimmed.

He lowered his hand and gathered the branch: "It lasted almost twice as long today as it did yesterday."

Ling Feng said, "Now you can feel that the connection between that leaf and you is becoming stronger."

Lin Mu thought for a moment, as if to confirm that he had indeed felt that change: "Yes."

It used to feel like there was a layer between us, but now that layer is thinning.

The new message from Sea Breeze City arrived five days later on the morning.

Jin Chen sat down at the stone table, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it for a moment: "He said he went through that opening yesterday."

After passing through the opening, he saw a continuous flow of light, without boundaries or fixed shape.

He said the light had no temperature and no physical presence; it was as if the air itself was emitting light.

He didn't stay inside for long. After passing through the opening, he only stayed for a short while before coming out. He felt no discomfort afterward and even felt that his perception of the space was clearer than before.

Qian Renxue said, "Then he has already penetrated into the core area of ​​that space."

That continuously flowing light is very likely the original structure of that space.

Ling Feng said, "If he could stay inside longer, the scenes he sees might change."

Chen Yuan stood in the corner of the courtyard, the steam in his hand slowly swirling. He didn't interrupt the discussion, but his gaze lingered on the letter in Jin Chen's hand for a while.

Ling Feng turned his head to look at him: "What are your thoughts?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and then put away the fog: "I was thinking that if the core of that space is a continuously flowing light, then it might be similar to the principle of fog control."

Ling Feng said, "You mean that those flowing lights, like the fog, are in a state of continuous movement."

Chen Yuan said, "If that flowing light can be guided and shaped, then that structure may not only be an observation target, but may also be used for more in-depth exploration."

After listening, Ling Feng remained silent for a while, then said, "This idea can be further explored."

He turned to Jin Chen and said, “Reply to him and tell him to continue recording. If the light changes in any way, send a message back as soon as possible.”

Also, tell him to observe whether the light has a fixed direction of movement.

If it also has a fixed flow direction, then our previous hypothesis was correct.

Jin Chen nodded: "Okay, I'll reply tonight."

Tang San came over in the evening.

He sat on the stone bench: "Did any problems arise with Chen Yuan's blade after it was used for a period of time?"

Chen Yuan said, "There is no obvious deformation at present, and the sensitivity is sufficient. It should be able to be used for a long time."

Tang San said, "That's good."

If you need to adjust the thickness in the future, please feel free to contact me.

As evening approached, wisps of smoke rose from the alleyway, mingling with the lingering warmth from the blacksmith's shop, and slowly dissipated into the twilight of Haifeng City.

The lights in the small room were already on. The boy was sitting at the table, holding a pen in his hand. A new sheet of paper was spread out in front of him, on which was drawn a boundless ball of light, surrounded by several lines of small writing.

A breeze seeped in through the window cracks, gently lifting a corner of the paper before letting it fall back down.

The boy entered that state again; he walked into the flowing light and followed its direction.

He could feel himself establishing a new connection with that space, as if each step was pushing the door open a little wider.

He walked a distance along the direction of the light's flow, about twenty steps for an average person, then stopped, closed his eyes, and let the flowing light pass by him and continue flowing into the distance.

The wind blew from afar, ruffling the stray hairs on his forehead, as if confirming in its own way that the flowing light was indeed maintaining a stable direction.

He opened his eyes and retreated in the direction he had come from. When his consciousness returned to the table in the hut in Sea Breeze City, he looked down at the pen in his hand. The nib was still on the paper, and the ink was not yet completely dry.

He put down his pen, added a line of small writing at the bottom of the page, then folded it up and put it in the envelope, writing the address of the Martial Soul Capital Offering Hall on the front of the envelope.

The letter from Sea Breeze City arrived three days later in the afternoon.
