Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 61 Qin Jian's Thoughts

"Then let Shuiyue'er answer."

Shuiyue wanted to back down to quell Xuewu's anger, but the teacher pointed at her with a smile.

She could only grit her teeth and stand up, saying, "Teacher, I think water-type martial souls should give full play to their unique water-type characteristics. Whether it's the inclusiveness of water or the hardness of ice, these are its characteristics, so we should make the most of them."

"To maximize the advantages of features, that's a good point."

The teacher nodded slightly and, after Shui Yue'er sat down, said, "Our energy in a lifetime is limited, and it is impossible to learn everything. Therefore, focusing on the characteristics of a martial spirit and developing it in one direction is an extremely wise approach."

But she didn't end the question there. Instead, she looked around again and asked with a smile, "Does anyone else want to add anything?"

Seeing that no one spoke, she turned to Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er: "What about you two? Especially Shui Bing'er, do you have any other opinions?"

Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, although our Tianshui Academy is all..."

She suddenly glanced at Qin Jian and changed her words, saying, "Although they are almost all water-type martial souls, there are strong attack type, agile attack type, and support type. This means that the water type actually includes all characteristics. Therefore, we should not focus on the ultimate potential of the water type, but rather on the ultimate potential of our own martial soul."

"very good!"

The female teacher smiled so much her eyes narrowed: "This is the answer I wanted to hear."

The other students nodded in agreement, clearly agreeing with Shui Bing'er's words.

"Anything else to add?"

Although the female teacher said that, her gaze was fixed on Qin Jian.

Seeing this, Qin Jian could only stand up helplessly: "Then, teacher, let me share my personal opinion..."

Seeing him stand up, all eyes naturally turned to him, almost as if they were looking at a rare animal.

"Hey, Bing'er has already given the most standard answer. What else can he say? He's just a man who's too proud to admit his mistake." Xue Wu curled her lip in disdain.

Shui Yue'er's eyes never left Qin Jian's body: "What if he has some unique insights..."

Xue Wu snorted coldly, clearly not believing it.

At this moment, Qin Jian said loudly, "I basically agree with Shui Bing'er's answer. For most Soul Masters, maximizing the characteristics of their own Martial Soul is indeed the smartest and easiest way to achieve greater success, however..."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "We also have another type of Soul Master, the control-type Soul Master. What characteristics should they possess? Is it simply devising strategies and controlling the entire battlefield?"

His question made many people fall into deep thought, but Xue Wu didn't listen at all: "Trying to attract attention."

"I don't think so..."

Qin Jian then shrugged and said, "I believe that the future of a control-type Soul Master should be based on boundless imagination. Only by being free from constraints can one give full play to the strengths of each Martial Soul and make the most appropriate choices in various situations..."

Many people had tears in their eyes, but a few looked thoughtful, especially the female teacher.

Why can't agility-based classes provide support? Why can't offensive classes control the battlefield? Why can't control classes launch powerful attacks? Why can't support classes launch surprise attacks?

Qin Jian's series of questions made more and more people's eyes light up, but they quickly frowned, finding it difficult to understand.

"Therefore, I think ordinary Soul Masters should just make good use of their Martial Soul characteristics. But for genius Soul Masters, especially those of you here, you should not be satisfied with just that. Instead, you should consciously expand your thinking and not be bound by rules and regulations. In that way, everyone's final achievements will be immeasurable."

Only after saying this did Qin Jian sit back down.

At this moment, the entire venue fell silent, and even Xue Wu was lost in thought.

"Qin Jian, you're right. My previous thinking was far too narrow-minded..."

Shui Bing'er was the first in the classroom to understand what Qin Jian meant.

Seeing her expression of deep understanding, Qin Jian couldn't help but smile again. He whispered, "You know what? Actually, in terms of the lesson itself, your answer was the best, because that's the one that's truly most suitable for most people."

"Huh?"

Shui Bing'er's doubt was written all over her face: "But I benefited a lot from your answer!"

Qin Jian casually stroked her soft hair and said, "That's because you're a true genius Soul Master. I actually held back what I said earlier. What I said only applies to geniuses of your level; it won't work for others!"

Shui Bing'er blinked, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "You... really think I have a lot of talent?"

What a lack of self-confidence...

Qin Jian nodded affirmatively and said, "Your talent surpasses that of all of them."

Shui Bing'er blinked again, and Qin Jian felt that there was something more in her gaze, whether it was his imagination or not.

"Thank you," she whispered.

Qin Jian shook his head, but asked, "Was there something wrong with the environment you grew up in? Has no one ever recognized your talent?"

Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and said, "This is my father's fault. He has been undermining my confidence since I was very young, always saying that I can't do this or that..."

Qin Jian suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. He probably wanted to spur you on, but he didn't realize he had committed a grave mistake."

"A major taboo?" Shui Bing'er asked in confusion.

Qin Jian nodded and said, "While suppression is very effective, it makes people lose confidence, which goes against human nature. Encouragement and recognition are much better, as they align with human nature."

"Qin Jian, you know so much..."

Shui Bing'er's eyes immediately lit up.

At this moment, everyone snapped out of their reverie and began to whisper among themselves.

"Qin Jian's idea was brilliant; it even broadened my thinking..."

The female teacher smiled and said, "I didn't know why Instructor Yan insisted on bringing you into Tianshui Academy before, but now I understand a little better..."

"Qin Jian, I hope you can grow and develop smoothly at Tianshui Academy."

Her words indicated that she was now completely on Qin Jian's side.

"That concludes this lesson. I hope all students will reflect on Qin Jian's words after class. Goodbye."

Finally, get out of class ended, and once the teacher left the teaching hall, the female students were immediately liberated.

Qin Jian was more upset because a large number of people rushed towards him immediately, and he was almost instantly overwhelmed by the crowd.

"Qin Jian, I'm Ling Xue, may I introduce myself?"

"Qin Jian, what you just said was excellent, but there are still some things I don't understand. Can we talk about them privately?"

"Qin Jian..."

Seeing that Qin Jian was almost out of sight, Shui Bing'er finally couldn't bear it any longer. She grabbed Qin Jian's hand and ran, managing to break through the encirclement...
