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

Tang San said, "He is gradually verifying the effectiveness of the calibration."

Ling Feng said, "Let him do it at his own pace."

Lin Mu arrived the next morning.

He stopped under the eaves, raised his hand and held out the leaf. After it lit up, he quickly walked around the courtyard, changing direction once along the way, and then stopped: "I tried a faster speed today, and there was no delay when changing direction."

Ling Feng said, "Then you are already able to switch directions while moving at high speed."

Lin Mu said, "Then I can try adjusting the brightness changes while moving quickly."

Ling Feng said, "We can give it a try."

Tang San came over in the evening and sat down on the stone bench: "After the calibration is completed in Haifeng City, that space may enter a new state, and there should be new discoveries."

Ling Feng said, "He is observing the changes in the sphere's state while preparing for the next step of exploration."

Tang San said, "If other areas of that space have indeed changed due to calibration, then he should be able to discover new clues during the exploration."

Over the next few days, the boy began to systematically explore the possible structural changes that might occur in that space after the sphere's state stabilized.

He found a very thin crack in a wall on the second floor, and after feeling around the crack, he confirmed that it was a movable stone slab.

He ran the knife along the crevice, then embedded the tip into the edge and pulled it to the side. The slab slid open to one side, revealing a shallow groove that had not been there before.

In the shallow trough lay a flat, dark stone slab with several lines of neat characters engraved on its surface, consistent with the writing system he had seen on the stone pillar.

He took out the stone tablet, turned it over and looked at it, confirming the content of the text. He found that it recorded the changes that the space was expected to undergo after the initial calibration was completed.

He placed the stone slab back into the shallow trough, restored it to its original state, and retreated along the path he had come from. Under the lamplight, he recorded the contents of the text in his notebook.

Jin Chen received the letter on the eighth day.

He sat on the stone bench and opened the letter: "He said that after the calibration was completed, he found a crack that he had not noticed before. When he opened it, there was a dark stone slab with words engraved on it, recording the changes that the space was expected to undergo after the initial calibration was completed."

"The text mentioned that after the calibration is completed, the operation of that space will enter a new stage, at which time the monitoring range of the core equipment will be gradually expanded."

Ling Feng said, "That text may be a guide left by the builders, explaining the next steps after calibration."

Qian Renxue said, "If the monitoring range is gradually expanded, then the observation capabilities of that space may be greater than before."

Chen Yuan said, "If the monitoring scope is indeed expanding, then he may need to periodically check whether the status of the core equipment is changing."

Tang San said, "He is gradually confirming the function of that space."

Ling Feng said, "He has reached that stage, and the changes should gradually become apparent."

The boy placed the dark stone slab back into the shallow trough, restored the wall to its original state, and retreated along the path he had come from.

He opened his notebook under the lamp and reread the passage.

The inscription on the stone slab is short but contains a lot of information. After calibration, the monitoring range of the core equipment will gradually expand to the southeast, and the covered area may extend to a previously unmarked location.

He wrote a note at the bottom of that page: "The inscription on the stone tablet mentions that the monitoring range will be expanded to the southeast."

We will prioritize confirming whether there are any new entry points in that direction.

He closed his notebook and stood by the window for a while, watching the sky darken over the distant sea.

Jin Chen received the letter six days later.

He sat on the stone bench, unfolded the letter, read it, and then looked up: "He said that the stone slab did indeed mention that after the core equipment was calibrated, the monitoring range would gradually expand to the southeast, and the covered area might extend to a previously unmarked location."

He plans to prioritize confirming whether there are any new entry points in that direction.

Ling Feng walked out from under the corridor: "Then he now has a new direction to explore."

Chapter 408 Travels

Qian Renxue said, "If the monitoring range is indeed expanding to the southeast, then the coverage of that space may be wider than we expected."

Chen Yuan said, "If the new entrance does exist, he might discover parts of that space that were not previously recorded."

Tang San said, "He will probably first check if there is a corresponding entrance on the surface in that direction."

Jin Chen said, "He said he was planning a ground search along the southeast direction to look for possible entrances."

Ling Feng said, "Then let him do it at his own pace."

Lin Mu arrived the next morning.

He stopped under the eaves, raised his hand and held out the leaf. After it lit up, he quickly walked around the yard, adjusting the brightness while moving quickly without any delay. Then he stopped and said, "Today I tried adjusting the brightness while moving quickly. The brightness change and the movement speed were synchronized without any delay."

Ling Feng said, "Then you can already adjust the brightness while moving quickly."

Lin Mu said, "Then I can try to complete the speed change and brightness adjustment simultaneously on a longer path."

Ling Feng said, "We can give it a try."

Tang San came over in the evening and sat down on a stone bench: "If he can find a new entrance in the southeast direction of Haifeng City, then the scope of this space may continue to expand."

Ling Feng said, "He is preparing for a ground search."

Tang San said, "If he finds a new entrance in the southeast, he may need new tools to assist in the exploration."

Ling Feng said, "We'll talk about it later."

Over the next few days, the boy gradually expanded the area of ​​the ground search along the southeast direction mentioned in the stone tablet inscription.

He spent three days carefully examining every bulge and depression in the area, confirming all possible locations, but found no stone slabs or covers similar to the underground space structure.

On the fourth day, he changed direction and walked westward for a distance along a dry riverbed.

On the inside of the bend in the riverbed, he discovered an area covered by bushes, the ground of which was a slightly different color from the surrounding area.

He parted the bushes, revealing a well-shaped, dark stone slab underneath, its edges patterned with the same texture as the underground space.

After confirming the location and size of the stone slab, he used a crowbar to test the edge and found that the slab could be moved.

He didn't rush to open it. He first checked the condition of the cover, then went back the way he came and noted the location of the new discovery under the light.

Jin Chen received the letter on the fifth day.

He sat on a stone bench: “He said he found another cover plate on the inside of the bend in the riverbed, the same size and texture as the one he had seen before.”

He confirmed that the cover was movable, but instead of opening it immediately, he noted its position first.

Ling Feng said, "He may have found another entrance to that space."

Qian Renxue said, "If that cover plate does indeed connect to the same underground space, then it means that the coverage area of ​​that space is indeed wider than we expected."

Chen Yuan said, "He might use the connectivity between the new and old entrances as the next verification target."

Tang San said, "He will probably decide whether to enter after confirming the status of the new entrance."

Jin Chen said, "He said he plans to first confirm the status of the new entrance before deciding on the next direction of exploration."

Ling Feng said, "That's right."

Night gradually enveloped the courtyard. Jin Chen put away the letter, while Ling Feng and Qian Renxue sat on the veranda.

The flags on the distant city wall fluttered slowly in the night wind, as if confirming in their own way that the paths were still there, and that the boy was still continuing along them.

Ling Feng felt somewhat bored, so he decided to go out and travel. When he left the Hall of Offerings, it was not yet fully light.

He walked slowly, without riding a horse or carrying any luggage, only a dragon-patterned staff on his back, heading south along the official road.

Qian Renxue stood at the city gate, neither asking him where he was going nor when he would return.

She simply stood in the morning light, watching him walk away, then turned and went back to the main hall.

Ling Feng was gone for three days.

He passed through several villages, several fields being plowed, and several farmers setting up stalls by the roadside.

He didn't deliberately linger, nor did he deliberately rush; he simply walked, as if he were recalibrating his own rhythm in his own way.

On the fifth day, he passed through a small town. The town was not big, with a main street that stretched from one end of the town to the other, and the houses on both sides had gray tiles and white walls.

He sat down at a noodle stall at the entrance of town and ordered a bowl of noodles.

The noodle stall owner was a man in his fifties, quick and efficient. When he brought the noodles over, he casually asked, "Where are you from, sir?"

Ling Feng said, "The north."

The boss nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Ling Feng was eating noodles when he suddenly sensed a presence, not strong but very clear, as if something was slowly awakening deep within the town.

He put down his chopsticks, paid the bill, and walked along the main street toward the direction from which the scent had come.

He walked for a while, turned into an alley, and stopped in front of a house.

The scent was coming from the courtyard of this family.

He stood at the door without knocking.

The courtyard gate was ajar, and through the crack, one could see a boy standing in the center of the courtyard, holding a ball of light that was slowly taking shape, as if he were figuring out his own form.

A boy of similar age stood beside him, watching quietly without saying a word.

There was an old woman in the courtyard, sitting on the porch, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, as if she was watching the two boys, or as if she was waiting for something.

She saw Ling Feng standing at the gate and asked through the gate, "Who are you looking for?"

Ling Feng said, "Just passing by."

I sensed movement in the yard, so I came to investigate.

The old woman glanced at him, neither chasing him away nor inviting him in, but simply said, "They have awakened on their own, not because they are sick."

You don't need to worry.

Ling Feng stood at the doorway, watching the boy in the courtyard trying to control the ball of light. The light flickered in his palm, as if searching for its own rhythm.

The boy next to him stood quietly, but his aura was heavy, as if he was waiting in his own way.

Seeing that he was still looking, the old woman asked, "Are you a Soul Master?"

Ling Feng said, "Yes."

The old woman was silent for a moment, then said, "Then come in."

It's inconvenient to talk while standing at the door.

Ling Feng pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.
