Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 36 Enchanting the Ice Phoenix

Just when everyone thought Ning Rongrong had easily obtained the qualification, Qin Jian suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Excellency, Rongrong doesn't need to be directly designated for her qualification. I will help her obtain it," Qin Jian said.

All eyes were on him.

Meng Shenji frowned and said, "Everyone only has one chance. If you help her obtain the qualification, you will lose your own chance to hunt soul beasts."

"It's okay..."

To everyone's surprise, Qin Jian shook his head and said, "I came here to help Rongrong obtain a spirit ring. As long as the Education Commission allows me to go in and help hunt spirit beasts, I will give up my own spot."

These words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"He gave up his spot? Doesn't he know how rare this opportunity is?"

"Yes, and the qualification for the second-tier region is actually quite good. Could his goal be the first tier? That is, to force a level 9 dragon to a draw?"

"He's so good to Ning Rongrong!"

"..."

Regardless of the male students' thoughts, many of the female students looked at them with admiration.

Whether it was Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, or even Huo Wu, they all focused their attention on Qin Jian.

After all, almost no one would give up their own opportunities for someone else; this sentiment and sacrifice moves many people, especially women…

"Are you sure?" Meng Shenji asked solemnly.

Qin Jian nodded slightly.

But Meng Shenji was still not at ease, so he looked at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo again. Only after they both nodded did he say, "Then Qin Jian will take Ning Rongrong's place in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's qualification."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian lifted his foot and walked towards the entrance.

But Ning Rongrong grabbed his hand: "Brother Jian, you must come out safely."

Originally, she wanted Qin Jian to win against everyone, but after seeing the difficulty of level 9, all she wanted was for Qin Jian to come out safely.

"Rongrong is right..."

Ning Fengzhi also came up and gently patted Qin Jian's shoulder, saying, "Don't push yourself too hard. It's okay if Rongrong's soul rings are a little weaker."

Qin Jian smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

He simply walked in, step by step…

Neither Ning Fengzhi nor Ning Rongrong understood why he had to give Ning Rongrong the best.

This wasn't just because he liked it, it was also his way of redeeming himself...

"Buzz!"

With a soft ripple, Qin Jian opened his eyes again and found himself in a dense forest.

Having witnessed the challenges of the previous participants, he remained calm and waited a while before rustling sounds began to emerge from the forest before him.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a datura snake shot out from the forest and lunged straight at Qin Jian!

Before the onlookers could even gasp at the speed of the soul beast, Qin Jian calmly uttered "My body is like a sword," and a purple longsword fell from the sky, accurately piercing the body of the Mandragora Serpent.

Level 1, passed.

The next creature to appear was a demonic spider, which was instantly killed by Qin Jian's sword energy.

The third level was a heavily armored giant insect with a hard shell, which caused Qin Jian to slash at it a total of... 3 times!

Level 4 was another spider, but this time it was a human-faced demon spider, which was dealt with by five sword energies.

The level 5 Gale Wolf, despite its extreme speed, was still sliced ​​into pieces by nine sword energies, causing Feng Xiaotian's face to twitch in disbelief, because his martial soul was the Gale Wolf…

Level 6 is Diamond Mammoth…

Huyan Li's expression changed, and he said fiercely, "The Diamond Mammoth's defense is incredibly strong; he definitely can't win! Definitely!"

As a result, the eighteen sword energies successfully dismembered the body...

Hu Yanli was stunned...

Level 7, Ice Phoenix…

Qin Jian suspected that this simulated cultivation ground was deliberately causing trouble.

Each soul beast is similar to the martial souls of the other people…

So this time, instead of immediately unleashing his sword energy to slash, he... used his first soul skill, the Enchanting Sword.

The ice phoenix froze for a moment under the bewitching sword, then Qin Jian pierced its chest with his longsword, killing it instantly.

The outside world was in uproar.

"His spirit rings seemed to light up just now, what kind of spirit skill was that?"

"The Ice Phoenix froze for a moment; this soul skill will be especially useful in close combat."

"And did you notice that his martial soul attack power is too strong? He can even pierce through the defense of a level 7 difficulty soul beast with one blow."

"..."

In the corner, Shui Bing'er's gaze was slightly strange: "Just a moment ago, that ice phoenix wasn't frozen, but rather seemed... um... bewitched... How could its first soul skill be..."

Regardless of what she was thinking, Sword Douluo was slightly surprised as he watched the scene.

As a teacher, he naturally knew what Qin Jian's first soul skill was. He was originally worried that the charm would be ineffective against soul beasts, but he did not expect that it would also be effective against soul beasts.

Thinking of how he had once affected all living beings on the entire continent overnight, Sword Douluo felt relieved...

"Brother Jian is so amazing!"

Ning Rongrong clapped her hands and shouted, "Go, Brother Jian!"

Even if it attracts countless stares, she doesn't care.

Qin Jian gave up his own opportunity to fight for a spot for her, and she no longer had any restraint; she wanted everyone to know about their relationship…

At this point, the eighth one appeared, and it was much more troublesome than the previous ones because it was a ghost vine.

It is attached to the forest, making it extremely difficult to find its true location.

Therefore, Qin Jian could not use the Enchanting Sword, and the sword energy could only help him remain undefeated.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The attacks from the Ghost Vine came from all directions, forcing Qin Jian to scramble and find himself in grave danger.

A continuous defense can't always be perfect. Soon, Qin Jian's ankle was quietly hooked by a vine, which then suddenly pulled him into the air.

"what!"

Many people outside gasped in surprise, and Ning Rongrong was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

In that brief moment, Qin Jian's limbs were bound by the ghost vines, and rustling sounds echoed through the forest.

Soon, a gigantic maw, two or three meters tall, appeared above Qin Jian…

Just when everyone thought Qin Jian would stop at level 8, he suddenly laughed.

"My body is like a sword!"

With a cold shout, the Martial Soul Sword was released from his body once again, accompanied by streaks of sword energy, instantly shredding all the vines binding him.

The next moment, he held his longsword and suddenly stabbed it into the ghost vine in the sky.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The sword energy swept across the area, slicing the ghost vine into pieces.

Level 8, passed.

The people outside were silent for a moment before they realized what was going on.

"What impressive combat strategy! He couldn't pinpoint the location of the Ghost Vine's true form, so he deliberately allowed himself to be bound by the Ghost Vine to lure it out."

"Yes, it's amazing that he could stay calm in such an emergency."

"..."
