Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 38 The Battle for the Five Elements Academy

"Dad, Brother Jian has already obtained the highest level qualification, can we stop fighting?"

Seeing Qin Jian being forced into a sorry state on screen, Ning Rongrong tugged at Ning Fengzhi's clothes and kept saying, "There's absolutely no need to continue..."

Ning Fengzhi focused his gaze on the light screen, then slowly said, "Rongrong...we know we can stop now...but Qin Jian himself doesn't know..."

"what?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened: "Does he still think he hasn't passed level 9? Why hasn't he given up yet? That soul beast is too strong!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, his gaze fixed on Qin Jian's figure, and murmured, "Qin Jian seems to want to give you the best, so he won't give up easily..."

"What should we do then..." Ning Rongrong's heart clenched.

The Sword Douluo behind her suddenly turned his indifferent gaze to the Education Committee member Meng Shenji, and a glint of sword light seemed to flash in his eyes…

Meng Shenji suddenly felt an aura lock onto him, and he quickly turned around to look, only to meet Sword Douluo's emotionless gaze.

He shuddered, sensing something terrible was about to happen…

Fortunately, the changes within the time screen attracted Sword Douluo's attention. Qin Jian once again used the same trick to climb onto the dragon's head and plunged his Martial Soul Sword into the dragon's head!

"Success again... and again!"

People outside gasped in surprise, which immediately sparked a flurry of discussion.

But soon, the level 27 dragon reappeared before Qin Jian…

Then it's level 28... level 29...

There was no sound from the outside world; everyone stared intently at the scene before them.

They simply couldn't describe their feelings. A level 20 soul power defeating a level 29 one—what kind of talent and perseverance was that…?

The boy inside the light screen was clearly ragged, clearly exhausted of his soul power, clearly panting heavily and unable to even stand...

But he just wouldn't give up...

Why insist on this?

Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and even Dugu Yan all looked at Ning Rongrong with envy.

Because Qin Jian wasn't risking his life for himself; he was doing it to give Ning Rongrong the best!

At this moment, the scene returned to normal, and the dragon rose up again, even swelling up.

Because this time, it's level 30!

Qin Jian staggered to his feet and once again gripped his Martial Soul Sword…

"Teacher from the Education Commission! Let's stop this challenge!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong finally couldn't hold back any longer and ran up to Meng Shenji, saying, "Teacher from the Education Commission, please let him out! We don't want to challenge him anymore!"

Meng Shenji resisted the urge to look at Sword Douluo's cold gaze, and gently said to Ning Rongrong, "I cannot forcibly interrupt him, as that would harm Qin Jian, unless he gives up voluntarily or fails."

But at this moment, Ning Rongrong could no longer care what Meng Shenji was saying, because inside the light screen, Qin Jian, who had exhausted his soul power, continued to fight against the dragon with the strength of level 30!

He was easily knocked dozens of meters away, but he kept getting up and fighting back...

Such perseverance is truly moving!

"Yes, no matter how talented you are, you won't achieve great things without perseverance."

The other two education commissioners remarked with emotion.

"He's reached his limit this time..." Meng Shenji said.

Inside the light screen, Qin Jian was once again knocked away, but he was unable to stand up immediately.

Seeing his struggle, the giant dragon opposite him didn't even bother to attack; it just waited...

"Rongrong...I must give you...the best..."

With trembling hands, Qin Jian pushed himself up from the ground and, little by little, once again, stood unsteadily before the giant dragon.

Outside, all was silent.

Inside, the wind subsided temporarily.

"hold head high!--"

"ah!--"

The next moment, the dragon roared, and Qin Jian roared in anger!

The ferocious maw snapped at Qin Jian's small, thin body in an instant, and everyone held their breath.

At that moment, a purple sword light suddenly shone from Qin Jian's body as he staggered forward...

Then!

He transformed into a sword beam and flew fiercely into the dragon's mouth!

"Man and sword as one!"

Sword Douluo's eyes widened slightly.

Qin Jian's figure disappeared from the scene, completely swallowed by the giant dragon.

"Bang bang bang..."

But in the next instant, several sword lights pierced through the dragon's body and burst forth, like giant eggs bursting with light.

Then, it exploded with a bang!

"boom!"

The scene was once again completely obscured by the dust and debris flying everywhere.

Outside, the light in the entire simulated training ground gradually dimmed...

"He actually killed a level 30 soul beast with only level 20 soul power! Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

Hu Yanli's powerful voice startled everyone awake.

Then, the discussion erupted like a torrent.

"Don't forget, he didn't directly challenge level 30; he fought his way through from level 25!" Yu Tianxin suddenly said.

Fire dances, wind laughs, and the heavens fall silent.

"I never expected him to actually win in the end, and to win so decisively..."

Huo Wu murmured, "Such strength and perseverance... I admire them... I should apologize for what I said yesterday..."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaotian became anxious: "Huo Wu, at least our soul power is higher than his! After all, he's a soul beast. Even if he has level 30 strength, he can't unleash the power of a level 30 soul master. If he were to fight me, I could easily defeat him!"

To his surprise, Huo Wu gave him a cold glance and said, "Are you happy to defeat someone 10 levels lower than you?"

Feng Xiaotian: "Uh..."

"Buzz!"

A soft, inconspicuous sound silenced everyone.

Then they saw Qin Jian, dressed in tattered clothes, slowly inching his way out...

"Brother Jian!"

Ning Rongrong's call came out perfectly naturally.

If at the beginning this nickname was somewhat teasing, now it comes from the heart.

She rushed forward, but stopped just before she touched Qin Jian. Instead of lunging at him as usual, she quickly took his hand and supported his swaying body.

"Are you alright, Brother Jian?" Ning Rongrong asked, looking up with concern.

Qin Jian forced a smile and said, "Rongrong, I'm fine...we..."

Before he could finish his sentence, everything went black, and a burly figure suddenly blocked his way: "You're Qin Jian, right? Our Elephant Armor Academy invites you to join us, with the highest level of benefits!"

These words caused a stir among the crowd, as if a stone had been thrown into a lake.

The second teacher from Thunder Academy approached Qin Jian: "Qin Jian, Thunder Academy invites you to join us. Elephant Armor Academy is not suitable for you; they focus on defense. Your attack is high, so you'll perform better at our academy."

Next up is Blazing Fire Academy: "Qin Jian, join Blazing Fire Academy. Although our academy mainly accepts students with fire-type martial souls, you, as the embodiment of ultimate attack power, can definitely fit in."

"If we're talking about what's suitable, our Kamikaze Academy is better. With the speed boost, your attack power will be fully unleashed," Kamikaze Academy retorted.

Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the teachers from the four academies arguing amongst themselves...
