Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 42 I'll remember you all!

"Qin Jian, I apologize to you!"

Huo Wu said through gritted teeth, sounding completely insincere.

"But you don't think that just because you defeated a level 30 soul beast during the trial, you can now rival me, a level 30, right?"

Huo Wu raised her fist and said, "Then I'll show you what a true level 30 is like!"

Qin Jian waved his hand and said, "Don't be so competitive. After all, we're all here to hunt soul beasts. You're not in a good position right now, so why not take a step back?"

Shui Bing'er nodded repeatedly, "That's right, we don't need to fight to the death for a soul beast."

"It's you, you idiot!"

Flames erupted from Huo Wu's body, and the fire shadow behind her simultaneously unleashed its own fiery power: "Even if the two of you team up, I'll still beat you to a pulp!"

Her second spirit ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill, Judgment Flame!"

Soon, she was enveloped in orange-yellow light, and her hands, along with her Martial Soul Fire Shadow, were engulfed in flames as she rushed towards Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er at top speed.

"My body is like a sword!"

The instant Huo Wu approached, Qin Jian flicked his right hand, and his Martial Soul Sword crashed down in front of him.

"Bang! Bang!"

Fire Dance and the Martial Soul Fire Shadow simultaneously struck the sword blade, unleashing a burst of explosive flames.

"Watch out, her second soul skill has an explosive effect!"

Shui Bing'er's voice rang out at the same time.

Qin Jian nodded slightly, then grabbed his Martial Soul Sword with his right hand and slashed out suddenly.

"laugh!"

A sword aura suddenly shot out, striking Huo Wu at the last second.

Flames scattered, but the next moment Huo Wu's figure suddenly appeared in front of Qin Jian, slamming a palm onto the longsword.

The explosive effect directly repelled Qin Jian.

"Hmph, not only do my flames have an explosive effect, but the light and flames on my body can also enhance my defense."

As Huo Wu charged forward, she coldly sneered, "With your level 20 soul power unleashing sword energy, you won't be able to break through my defenses!"

Just as Qin Jian was about to be hit by Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er's first spirit ring lit up: "First Spirit Skill, Ice Seal!"

"Click-clack!"

Huo Wu's figure was suddenly frozen by a blast of ice rising from below.

"Bang!"

But it was instantly neutralized by the fiery power erupting from her body.

"It's a pity. Your instant-cast ice seal is impossible to dodge, and it happens to be incompatible with my martial soul, so it can't be effective."

Fire Dance didn't pause and attacked again.

At this moment, Qin Jian was already holding the Martial Soul Sword and was heading straight to meet the attack.

"You think you can stand up to me head-on? Dream on!"

With the enhancement of her second soul skill, the temperature of her fiery fists that rushed towards him was so intense that even Qin Jian felt unbearably hot.

"Second Soul Skill, Ice Ring Armor!"

At this moment, Shui Bing'er's group defensive soul skill appeared on Qin Jian just in time, helping him to clear away the heat from his body.

So, Qin Jian, bracing against Huo Wu's attacks, wielded his sword with both hands and slashed fiercely!

"Don't even dream about it! You have no chance of breaking through my defenses!"

Huo Wu didn't even try to dodge.

But then a girl's voice came from the nearby woods: "Seven Treasures Spin Out, There is Glazed Glass!"

The emerald green Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a martial soul, came into view.

Ning Rongrong emerged from behind the tree, a golden spirit ring rising from her feet: "Seven Treasures have names, the first being: Strength!"

In an instant, Qin Jian's martial spirit attack power increased by 20%!

"Bang!"

Like a mirror being shattered, Huo Wu's protective flame defense suddenly broke, and the Martial Soul Giant Sword landed heavily on her!

"puff!"

Huo Wu was hit squarely by the blow, and was sent flying backward, crashing into a tree trunk behind her.

The impact from both ends caused blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth.

Qin Jian stopped and did not continue the pursuit.

Turning around, he saw Shui Bing'er staring at him in a daze, and couldn't help but say impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and slash that soul beast!"

"Huh? Oh!"

Shui Bing'er's brain froze for a moment, then she suddenly realized what was happening and immediately took out a dagger and stabbed it into the head of the soul beast.

The soul beast was already on the verge of death from her attack, and now it was finally free, with a purple soul ring floating up.

"You...you all!"

Huo Wu finally stood up straight from under the tree. She fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er, saying, "Qin Jian of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Shui Bing'er of the Heavenly Water Academy! I'll remember you!"

Seeing that the soul beast had already been killed, she knew she could no longer snatch it, so she could only slowly retreat.

"Just you wait! I'll settle the score with you!"

After uttering a final, harsh remark, Huo Wu turned and disappeared into the depths of the woods ahead…

Seeing that Shui Bing'er was still staring blankly in the direction where Huo Wu had disappeared, Qin Jian couldn't help but remind her, "Hurry up and absorb the soul ring, we'll help you protect it."

"oh…"

Shui Bing'er nodded blankly and sat down in front of the soul beast to begin absorbing the soul ring.

Qin Jian was speechless again: "If Tianshui Academy really makes her their captain, then this Tianshui team..."

Ning Rongrong ran up and grabbed his left hand: "Brother Jian, why should we help her? Have you decided to go to Tianshui Academy?!"

Qin Jian stroked her soft, long hair and said, "Don't try to shift the blame. You were the one who overheard Huo Wu stealing a soul beast and said she was awful..."

"Since my Rongrong says she's awful, then of course I have to stop her," he said with a smile.

Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes: "Is that really true?"

"Of course."

Without changing his expression, Qin Jian pulled her to sit on a clean tree root: "Let's rest for a bit, we'll be heading to the level one area soon."

outside world.

The teachers from Tianshui Academy were very excited, while the teachers from Chihuo Academy had slightly somber expressions.

"You've already recruited Qin Jian ahead of time?"

His words immediately drew the attention of the other teachers from the Elemental Academy.

The teacher from Tianshui College didn't deny it, but simply ran her hand through her hair and said ambiguously, "Who knows..."

Seeing her like this, and considering Qin Jian's actions in helping Shui Bing'er in the Soul Hunting Arena, the others subconsciously assumed that Qin Jian had really chosen Tianshui Academy, and couldn't help but sigh in unison, looking very regretful.

The teacher from Tianshui appeared confident, but was secretly pleased with himself: "You all mistakenly believe that Qin Jian has already chosen Tianshui Academy, so naturally you won't try to win him over anymore. This kid is already halfway to my hands, hehehe..."

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a smile upon seeing this scene.

They didn't intend to stop Qin Jian from choosing an academy to learn and gain experience, nor did they care which one Qin Jian ultimately chose, so they didn't care about the infighting among these teachers.

"No matter what, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will always be his support," Ning Fengzhi said, placing his hands on his cane.

Sword Douluo nodded and said, "Sword'er and Rongrong are still young, it's good for them to go out and gain some experience..."
