Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 47 Take My Sword

"Hiss!"

Even with the slowing effect of the wolf's wings, the momentum of their fall could not be completely offset, and they plummeted to the ground together at a speed of at least 100 miles per hour!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, a trail of dust rose from the depths of the forest, stretching for over a hundred meters before stopping.

"Brother Jian!"

Ning Rongrong ran as fast as she could towards the direction where Qin Jian and the Gale Wolf had fallen, taking a full five minutes to reach them.

By this time, the smoke and dust had slowly dissipated...

Ning Rongrong and all eyes in the world focused on the past.

Then they saw the massive body of the Gale Wolf lying on the ground, blood everywhere.

On its back, Qin Jian stood swaying, leaning on his purple longsword.

"Brother Jian, are you...are you alright?" Ning Rongrong asked anxiously.

Qin Jian turned his head and saw Ning Rongrong's small figure below.

He slowly revealed a smile: "Rongrong, quickly finish off this demonic wolf... it's almost dead..."

"Are you alright?"

Ning Rongrong seemed not to hear her and was about to climb up.

"I'm fine..."

Qin Jian said helplessly, "I'm just exhausted. Hurry up and finish me off, or all my efforts will be in vain..."

Ning Rongrong was relieved, and then quickly took out a dagger from her magic device and walked towards the head of the demon wolf.

"roar…"

But just as she was about to deliver the final blow, the dying wolf suddenly bared its teeth, startling Ning Rongrong.

"Bang!"

Just then, Qin Jian stomped on the demon wolf's head and said viciously, "You're going to die anyway, why are you being so fierce!"

"Rongrong! Finish him off!"

Before his tone could change, his fierce appearance startled Ning Rongrong so much that she almost dropped the dagger.

"Uh... Rongrong, I wasn't talking to you..."

Qin Jian was ashamed.

He discovered that the sword truly lived up to its reputation as a weapon of slaughter; every time the battle became intense, he would be influenced by his martial spirit and become filled with murderous intent.

"oh oh…"

Ning Rongrong hurried forward.

This time, there were no unexpected problems. With one stroke, she ended the wolf's last remaining life force.

Then, a yellow spirit ring lit up.

Outside the Soul Hunting Grounds, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The series of changes was so dramatic that they didn't dare to breathe.

Even now, after watching the whole thing, I still can't fully relax.

"Jian'er, this child, also has a murderous aura in his bones. No wonder he awakened a sword-shaped martial spirit."

Sword Douluo only now put away his Seven Kill Sword, his martial soul.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Originally, seeing him calmly intervene in other people's disputes, I felt it was a pity that he wasn't a control-type Soul Master, but now, seeing the way he hunts Soul Beasts, it's simply..."

He paused, then chuckled, "He's practically a born power-attack type Soul Master, and he and Rongrong... are a perfect match!"

Sword Douluo glanced at him, feeling that his sect leader seemed to have a particular fondness for Qin Jian lately…

"Fengzhi, you wouldn't be thinking of giving Jian'er and Rongrong..." he probed.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Although it's a little uncomfortable for a father, Qin Jian has truly done his best for Rongrong. Whether it was yesterday or today, I feel there's nothing to hesitate about..."

Sword Douluo lowered his eyes, unsure of what expression to make.

One is his personally taught disciple, and the other is the treasure of the entire sect. If they were to get engaged, it would truly be a match made in heaven…

Unfortunately, Qin Jian is a million-year-old soul beast, and he also possesses the Nine Trials of Emotion, which are beings that inherently possess the power to tear hearts apart...

If he were to actually tie them together now, he really didn't know how many entanglements would arise in the future...

Regardless of the various discussions and exclamations from the outside world, Ning Rongrong finally began to absorb her second spirit ring.

900 years was just the limit for her.

So even though her body was trembling uncontrollably, she managed to hold on...

Until half an hour later…

"Brother Jian, I did it!"

Ning Rongrong stood up gracefully, and a bright yellow spirit ring rose from her feet.

"My second soul skill consumes about the same amount of soul power as my first soul skill, but it increases speed."

Ning Rongrong's words made Qin Jian's eyes light up.

Generally speaking, the higher the level of a soul skill, the greater its power and the more soul power it consumes.

Ning Rongrong likely achieved this result because, with the attributes and amplification of her martial soul remaining unchanged, the higher the level of the absorbed soul ring, the lower the required soul power would be.

"It wasn't for nothing that I risked my life to get you this soul beast."

Qin Jian nodded in satisfaction.

Ning Rongrong rushed over and hugged him: "Hehe, thank you, Brother Jian."

Qin Jian patted her little head: "Alright, we should go out now. They're probably all waiting for us..."

When the two of them walked out of the Soul Hunting Ground hand in hand, they saw that everyone was staring at them.

To be more precise, everyone was looking at Qin Jian.

Even though he was dressed in rags and covered in dust, no one laughed at him.

Even Huo Wu and Yu Tianxin, who had previously been enemies, were speechless at this moment, because the scene of Qin Jian hunting down the Gale Wolf was so thrilling that it still left them with lingering fear.

"Qin Jian, Ning Rongrong, congratulations on obtaining the spirit rings you desired..."

Meng Shenji first congratulated them, and then said to everyone, "Then this year's Soul Hunters have come to an end. I wish all the students even greater achievements in the future."

After saying this, he didn't wait for everyone to leave before he and the two education commissioners lowered their heads and hurriedly walked to one side.

The way he looked clearly indicated that he was hiding from someone.

But what you fear most is what happens.

"Three education commissioners, don't rush off."

At this moment, Sword Douluo stepped forward with his arms crossed: "Have you forgotten our agreed-upon sparring match?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who were just about to disperse, immediately brightened up.

A battle between a peak Douluo and three Soul Douluos is a rare sight!

Meng Shenji and his two companions turned around with long faces; their plan to sneak away had failed...

"Although this trip was fraught with difficulties, Jian'er and Rongrong still got what they wanted, so I won't make things difficult for you..."

Sword Douluo's nine spirit rings lit up: "Just take one of my sword strikes."

The three of them, Meng Shenji, looked at each other and then nodded in unison.

If they don't even dare to take a sword strike from Sword Douluo, then they've completely lost face in front of the students!

Two of the three education committee members are control-type Soul Douluos, and the other is a defense-type Soul Douluo. If they go all out, they might be able to block a single move from Sword Douluo.

"Sword, watch closely, this is true unity of man and sword!"

Sword Douluo's figure slowly floated into the air, his right sword pointing to the sky, and his martial soul Seven Kill Sword appeared above his head.

"Clang clang clang..."

Endless sword energy transformed into countless sword shadows that danced and enveloped an area of ​​about one mile in radius.

"Clang!"

The next moment, like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, all the sword energy converged on the central main sword, the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul!

"Buzz!"

A giant sword several hundred meters long suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes...
