Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 62 Let's have a one-on-one fight!

After Qin Jian had lunch with Shui Bing'er in the cafeteria, he returned to the Tianshui team's private building, where several other team members he hadn't seen before had also returned.

The figures who had been laughing and joking in the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence after Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er walked in.

Qin Jian looked over calmly. Besides Xue Wu and Qiu Ruoshui, whom he already knew, and Shui Yue'er, whom he had met in class, he had already learned about the remaining three from Shui Bing'er.

They are Yu Hairou and Shen Liuyu, both high-attack type Soul Masters, and Gu Qingbo, a low-attack type Soul Master.

The future Tianshui girl group is complete!

"You're our paratrooper captain, Qin Jian?"

A girl with her hair tied up walked up. She looked somewhat similar to Xue Wu, both having that... well... tomboyish style.

Yu Hairou!

Before Qin Jian could nod, she continued, "I'm sorry, we've discussed it and we can't accept you as our captain, so... please leave our team."

"That's right." Xue Wu nodded in agreement.

Qin Jian crossed his arms.

Have these two women been playing male-like roles in the team for so long that they have such a lot of say?

"Hai Rou, Xue Wu, it was Instructor Zhi Ning's decision to appoint Qin Jian as our captain, and you cannot object to it privately..."

At this moment, Shui Bing'er hesitated before stepping in front of Qin Jian.

"Yes, yes, I think Qin Jian is a good choice as captain."

Shui Yue'er, whose hairstyle was the same as Shui Bing'er's, suddenly raised her hand and spoke, ignoring Xue Wu's glare.

"Since Bing'er doesn't object, then I won't object to him being the captain either," Qiu Ruoshui said with a grin.

"What about Qingbo and Liuyu?"

Seeing that she had many supporters, Shui Bing'er felt a surge of energy.

Gu Qingbo and Shen Liuyu exchanged a glance.

Shen Liuyu stepped forward and said, "We just hope that everyone can stay together and not fall apart. As for the rest, since Bing'er has no objections, then anyone can be the captain..."

Before Shui Bing'er could even show a hint of surprise, Yu Hairou coldly snorted, "Then I'm really sorry, if he becomes the captain, Xue Wu and I will withdraw!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Because they all knew that Xue Wu and Yu Hai Rou were indispensable. Their soul power was now at level 28, far higher than the other four, only second to Shui Bing Er.

One is an offensive type, and the other is a support type. Moreover, Xue Wu can also help Shui Bing'er enhance the effects of ice-type soul skills, so she can't just quit.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, a clattering sound came from the doorway.

"Kids, I'm back! Hahaha..."

Yan Zhi Ning walked in with a beaming smile: "Qin Jian, I've taken care of your hospitalization. Temporarily serving as captain of the Tianshui team is no problem... Huh? What's with those expressions?"

Xuewu hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said, "Teacher Zhining, we cannot accept Qin Jian as our captain. If you insist on going your own way, then Hai Rou and I will have no choice but to withdraw."

Yan Zhi Ning's expression hardened. She looked at Xue Wu, then at Yu Hai Rou beside her, and then at the expressions of the others. She understood what had happened.

"Qin Jian, what do you think?"

Instead of comforting Xue Wu and Yu Hairou as others expected, she looked at Qin Jian, who was standing to the side with his arms crossed.

"I?"

Qin Jian grinned slightly, then beckoned with his finger: "You don't agree with me being the captain? Then let's have a fight!"

Yan Zhi Ning smiled. She knew that Qin Jian had grasped the key to the problem: as long as one was strong enough, no one would have the right to object to the captain's position.

"A one-on-one duel?!"

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but exclaim, "But your level 22 soul power is only about the same as Qingbo Liuyu and the others."

Yu Hairou glanced at Qin Jian, her expression subtly changing. It has to be said that Qin Jian's suggestion was very much in line with her temperament.

"I agree to a friendly spar. If you beat me, I'll stay," Yu Hairou said.

But Xue Wu was unhappy: "I'm a support-type Soul Master, how can I fight you?"

"It's alright, you can go with Yu Hairou, I'll take over as well," Qin Jian said nonchalantly.

"Qin Jian!"

Before anyone else could speak, Shui Bing'er became agitated: "They are both level 28 soul power. If they join forces, even I will definitely lose. You have no chance of winning."

Her unexpectedly loud voice surprised Yan Zhineng and the others, who then looked at Qin Jian with strange eyes.

He actually has such a big influence on Shui Bing'er.

"Qin Jian, right? Your suggestion surprises me; your courage is commendable."

Xue Wu stood shoulder to shoulder with Yu Hairou: "If you can defeat the two of us working together, I will follow your lead from now on."

She thought for a moment and added, "Now I actually find you a bit more agreeable. If you lose, you could be a substitute on our team."

"A substitute?"

Qin Jian tilted his head and casually said, "Then being a team leader is more interesting..."

And she's also the leader of a girl group; the future top mainland group is right in front of us!

"Since you've made your decision, then meet at the team's exclusive mimicry training ground tomorrow morning."

Yan Zhi Ning clapped her hands and said, "Get some rest, kids. We'll decide on the team captains tomorrow."

She turned and walked towards the door, but as she passed Qin Jian, she deliberately winked and said, "Qin Jian, you're not allowed to bully Bing'er tonight!"

Qin Jian: "..."

"Hahaha…"

Yan Zhi Ning laughed loudly and left.

She wasn't worried about what Qin Jian might do. After all, he was Sword Douluo's personal disciple, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a good reputation. She trusted Qin Jian's character.

Yan Zhi Ning didn't lower her voice, so the others could hear her words and immediately reacted with different expressions.

Shui Bing'er lowered her head, feeling all eyes on her, and felt hot all over.

"Sister, how about we switch rooms?" Shuiyue'er suddenly said, her eyes darting around.

Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "This is Instructor Zhi Ning's arrangement; it's not appropriate to change it privately..."

The other people's gazes became even stranger...

Shui Bing'er finally couldn't take it anymore and ran into the largest room on the second floor in her high heels.

Qin Jian watched her retreating figure, then waved to the others, "Goodnight everyone, I'm going in too..."

Watching him calmly walk upstairs, into Shui Bing'er's room that wasn't closed, and then with a "click," the door closed.

The other six girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What a shameless man!"

Xuewu said irritably, "Hai Rou, we're definitely going to give him a good beating tomorrow, let's see if he still has the nerve to act like this!"

Yu Hairou casually twisted her neck, clenched her fist, and said, "He's only level 22. With our combined level 28 soul power, defeating him is a piece of cake. I alone am enough. Don't worry, there won't be any problems..."
