Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 53 The Fallen Tears of the Ocean

"Aaaaaah!"

In the forest of the mimicry training ground, a light drizzle brought a cool breeze.

In the woods, a young figure knelt on the ground.

He kept pounding on his heart, but it did nothing to alleviate the pain.

He was in tears…

What wounds people in this world is never swords or battles, but the despair and pain that arises when genuine feelings from the heart are brutally torn apart.

"Aaaaaah!"

Mimicry training... Royal palace training... Graduation performance... Hunting soul beasts...

So many memories, so many sweet moments, are gone forever.

He wept bitterly…

Inside the external monitoring room.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo stood quietly.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Sword Douluo's lips were trembling slightly, and even Ning Fengzhi's eyes were somewhat moist.

"Sigh... such a good child... why does fate have to be so cruel to him..." Ning Fengzhi sighed softly.

He was initially furious upon learning of Qin Jian's Nine Trials of Love, wishing he could separate them forever. However, seeing Qin Jian's actions now, he couldn't help but be moved.

How many people in this world possess such sincere feelings!

"It's just that becoming a god is too difficult; I, as his teacher, couldn't protect him!"

boom!

Sword Douluo slammed his fist into the table, shattering it into pieces.

At that moment, within the light screen, a bright purple soul ring slowly lit up on Qin Jian's body, who was struggling in pain.

"This is the second spirit ring, a spirit ring over a thousand years old!"

Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in surprise, "It's really true that you can only obtain a soul ring after experiencing heartbreak? How could such a thing exist?"

"Fengzhi, I need to see Jian'er off..."

Sword Douluo suddenly walked towards the door: "As his teacher, I can't offer much help, but I still need to know his next move..."

"Let's go together..." Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and said.

When the two arrived at the exit of the training ground, Qin Jian's distraught figure also stepped out.

He was slightly dazed until he realized that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were standing in front of him, and his gaze slowly focused.

"Teacher...and...Sect Master..." he said, bowing his head.

He should have called him Uncle Ning, but at this moment he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

"You..."

Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder and said gently, "It's better to call you Uncle Ning. After all, you're Rongrong's fiancé..."

"Uncle Ning... Uncle Ning..."

Qin Jian was somewhat stunned: "You're still willing to accept our engagement?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded gently and said, "I only hope that you will not let Rongrong down in the future, and that you will not betray such a passionate affection."

"Where do you plan to go next?" Sword Douluo asked with concern.

Qin Jian said softly, "After I obtained my second spirit ring, my next goal appeared, so I'm going to Tianshui Academy."

"Tianshui Academy?"

Sword Douluo nodded slightly: "It seems that person must be a student of Tianshui Academy, right? It's fortunate that you received an invitation from Tianshui Academy."

"Qin Jian".

Just then, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but interject, "Even if you experience eight more heartbreaks in the future, as your father, I still hope that the person you love most will always be Rongrong."

Qin Jian looked at him, then at Ning Rongrong's father, and whispered, "Rongrong... was my first love... she will always be the most special one..."

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly: "Rongrong's cultivation won't last long. If you want to leave, do it now."

"Uncle Ning, could you please give this letter to Rongrong for me?"

Qin Jian took out a letter and handed it over.

After Ning Fengzhi took it, he slowly turned around, glanced back at the entrance to the simulated cultivation ground one last time, and then headed towards the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"etc…"

Ning Fengzhi's unusual voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Your Heart of the Ocean... didn't fall off?"

Qin Jian stopped upon hearing this, touching his forehead and feeling the refreshing warmth there: "My Heart of the Ocean has always been here."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he said, "You're very good... really very good... Go... I'll wait for you to come back and marry Rongrong..."

Not long after Qin Jian left, Ning Rongrong finally finished her cultivation.

"Buzz!"

A radiant light emanated from his body, revealing his martial spirit.

"This fluctuation is at least level 27!"

Ning Fengzhi stood by the bed, asking incredulously, "What exactly did Qin Jian feed Rongrong?"

Sword Douluo quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ning Rongrong's wrist. After checking, he said, "Fortunately, it's not the kind of drug that overdraws potential."

"Wait...wait..."

Ning Fengzhi's voice suddenly stammered, "Sword... Uncle Sword... can you count how many stories Rongrong's glass tower has... am I seeing things?"

"It seems to be... the ninth floor?"

Sword Douluo also seemed somewhat uncertain.

The two exchanged a glance...

"The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda!"

The next moment, the two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"The tulip that Qin Jian gave Rongrong actually caused her martial soul to evolve... From then on, even the strongest support-type martial soul could grow into a Title Douluo!"

Ning Fengzhi took a few deep breaths to suppress the shock in his heart.

His face showed a hint of emotion: "That little fellow Qin Jian is a great contributor to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Brother Jian!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong finally opened her eyes.

Without any hesitation, she almost blurted out, "Don't go!"

Then she realized that it wasn't Qin Jian standing in front of her, but Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"Dad, where's Brother Jian?" Ning Rongrong asked loudly.

Her anxious search brought a lump to Ning Fengzhi's throat, but he still said, "Rongrong, Qin Jian... he's already left..."

"what!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise and ran towards the tent, but was blocked at the door by Sword Douluo.

"Grandpa Sword, move aside! I need to go find Brother Sword!"

Ning Rongrong tried to bypass Sword Douluo, but Ning Fengzhi grabbed her arm from behind: "Rongrong, don't go. He's been gone for a long time. You can't catch up."

"Really...really...?"

Ning Rongrong turned around, trembling all over, and tears streamed down her face again.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly.

"Why...why...did he...leave me..."

Ning Rongrong's body went limp, and she slowly sat down on the ground.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the blue teardrop between her brows began to shimmer.

"Tears of the Ocean!"

Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered.

Ning Rongrong was startled and quickly covered her forehead with her hand, but she only felt a chill in her palm as the Tear of the Ocean fell into her hand.

"My ocean tears... have been separated..."

Her gaze was blank, and tears streamed down her face.

"He doesn't want me anymore...he doesn't want me anymore..."

"What did I do wrong...?"

"How could he... not want me anymore..."

Seeing his beloved daughter injured like this, Ning Fengzhi felt a mix of emotions.

Because he knew that no one was wrong; the problem lay with the rules of this world…

"Rongrong..."

Ning Fengzhi squatted down so that his line of sight was level with Ning Rongrong's.

"Dad has something to tell you, and that is..."

"Qin Jian's Ocean Tears have not fallen off!"
