Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 3 Only by experiencing heartbreak can you become stronger.

Inside the room, the two talked so much that they forgot to eat.

"Nine trials for the divine position?"

Sword Douluo was taken aback again, then he asked, "Isn't this a test only for the inheritance of godhood?"

Qin Jian nodded and said, "That's true. Generally, only those who cultivate to level 99 have the possibility of becoming gods, but I'm different..."

He pointed to his head and said, "After taking human form, information about the divine position's inheritance automatically appeared in my mind. This is a divine position that no one has inherited for millions of years, and it is one of the supreme gods, known as the God of Love."

He didn't know why this divine position existed. According to his distant memories from 100,000 years ago, the divine realm only had five supreme gods: good, evil, life, destruction, and asura…

Another question is, if soul beasts can't become gods, where did his divine status come from...?

"The God of Love? The Supreme God?!"

Sword Douluo's wooden face was marred by wide, staring eyes.

He was shocked once again.

"The God of Love" refers to the god of ultimate emotion.

Qin Jian shrugged and continued, "Teacher, as you know, my martial soul is not the Love Flower, but a long sword, which is the divine weapon of the Supreme God, the Sword of Supreme Love."

"Of course, that would only happen if I truly become a god, then my martial spirit would transform into a divine weapon..."

When Qin Jian talked about these things, he didn't look proud at all; on the contrary, he looked extremely conflicted.

"Are the Nine Trials for Godhood very difficult?" Sword Douluo asked.

Becoming a god is incredibly difficult, let alone becoming the supreme god. He knew without even thinking that the trials would be extremely difficult.

"It's not that difficult, it's just that it goes against my conscience too much..."

Qin Jian rubbed his temples, his face full of bitterness: "The Nine Trials for Godhood require me to experience heartbreak for each one before I can pass..."

Sword Douluo had prepared himself to be shocked again, but instead he heard an answer that made him both laugh and cry.

"Passing a test by experiencing heartbreak once? What's so difficult about that?"

Sword Douluo said nonchalantly, "Just go and date nine people, then dump them. You can easily become a Supreme God. Is there a simpler test than that?"

Qin Jian covered his face and sighed, saying, "It can't be that simple, teacher... Those nine heartbroken women were chosen by the gods, and each of them is the most outstanding woman on the continent..."

Sword Douluo listened to him talking so seriously about his heartbreak, and looking at his eight or nine-year-old face, and for some reason, he couldn't help but laugh.

Even if he was precocious, his mental age should only be that of an eight or nine-year-old now that he has taken human form. Saying these things now makes Sword Douluo feel a bit out of place.

"This is also the reason why my soul power cannot increase..."

Qin Jian had no idea what Sword Douluo was thinking. He continued, "I currently have level 10 innate full soul power. To increase my soul power, I need to strengthen my relationship with my first ex-girlfriend. And to obtain a second soul ring, it won't just automatically generate at level 20. I need to pass the test after my first ex-girlfriend..."

Who are those nine designated heartbroken individuals?

Sword Douluo was very curious.

He also wanted to know who the nine most outstanding women on this continent were, or rather, who would be in the future…

"All I know right now is who the first one is..."

Qin Jian hesitated slightly, then said softly, "My first heartbreak was with... Rongrong."

"Rongrong?!"

Sword Douluo was startled and blurted out, "Rongrong, that little princess's willful nature, doesn't seem like that of one of the most outstanding women at all!"

Qin Jian covered his face.

"Ahem... I didn't mean Rongrong was bad..."

Sword Douluo was a little embarrassed: "I really didn't expect her to be one of the nine..."

Qin Jian wasn't surprised at all.

After all, Ning Rongrong's martial soul will be upgraded to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future. Without his involvement, she would be the successor of the second-level deity, the Nine-Colored Goddess.

"These nine trials for attaining godhood are truly extremely difficult..."

Qin Jian raised his little hand and rubbed his head.

Having transmigrated from another era, he naturally had a general understanding of the outstanding women on the continent, and could roughly guess who might be among them.

Many of them are at a hellish difficulty level, such as Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong...

There are also people who, let alone experiencing heartbreak, find it extremely difficult to even steal someone else's partner, like Zhu Zhuqing…

Plus Xiao Wu…

The last thing he wanted to hurt was this silly rabbit...

Qin Jian suddenly clasped his hands together and prayed fervently, "Heavens above, please don't test these people I just thought of, I beg you!"

Sword Douluo, seeing his rambling appearance, couldn't help but feel annoyed: "When you become the Supreme God, you will be the heavens."

However, upon reflection, he realized that although he didn't know who the other eight people were, the task was indeed very difficult.

At least that Pope of the Spirit Hall must be the most outstanding woman of her time...

"You've really had to go through a lot..."

Sword Douluo patted Qin Jian's head and said, "To fall in love just because you're heartbroken is such an extreme thing to do, it must be hard for you..."

He thought about the years they had spent together, and about the sincere and genuine behavior of his disciple, and he knew just how difficult this test must be for him.

It's said that one needs to experience nine heartbreaks to become a god. Does this godhood grant one the title of a god of deepest affection or a god of utter heartlessness?

Is it really possible to become a god like this...?

"No wonder you've always lost your matches against Gu Yue these past few years. Is it because you don't want to get close to Rongrong? Are you afraid of hurting her?" Sword Douluo asked.

Qin Jian nodded silently.

He and Gu Yue, the successor of Bone Douluo, have a competition every year to determine who will be Ning Rongrong's study companion for the following year.

This is a healthy competition mechanism established by Ning Fengzhi.

No one expected that he would lose for three consecutive years...

Sword Douluo glanced at him and said, "The annual competition will be held in a few days. This time it's not just between you, but a major competition for the entire sect, because it will determine the partners for the year-long closed-door teamwork training."

"At that time, each direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will choose one person as their partner and live together for a year."

He casually remarked, "Are you planning to lose again this time? Gu Yue will be living with Rongrong for a year then. What if sparks fly between them..."

"That's impossible."

Qin Jian categorically denied it.

He knew exactly who Ning Rongrong's true love was; that sausage vendor probably hadn't even entered Shrek Academy yet...

Therefore, he wasn't worried at all that Ning Rongrong would fall for someone prematurely. She was just a spoiled little princess, and anyone who got close to her would only be used as a tool.

Unless someone awakens her romantic feelings...

"So you're still not planning to make a move this time?"

Sword Douluo asked, "Are we just going to let our soul power remain at level 10 like this?"

Qin Jian lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Teacher, I don't want to be eaten, so I must become a god! No matter how difficult the trial may be!"

"Can you get over that mental hurdle?" Sword Douluo patted his thin shoulder and asked.

"I…"

Qin Jian raised his delicate little face, and the determination that suddenly appeared on his face moved even Sword Douluo.

"Teacher, I cannot do these things just to become a god, because that goes against my conscience..."

"So, since I've decided to do it, I will give it my whole heart, my true feelings, and my true intentions..."

"No matter what kind of pain and torment they endure, I share in it too..."
