Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 64 Can you please have some... shame?

Why are you sitting on the floor?

When Qin Jian came out of the bathroom, he saw Shui Bing'er sitting behind the door, covering her face.

"No...it's nothing..."

Shui Bing'er quickly stood up, not daring to look at Qin Jian even once, and rushed into the bathroom, muttering, "I'm going to wash up too..."

Qin Jian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "I don't think I did anything... why is her face so red?"

"And... my soul power just increased to level 23..."

Qin Jian was somewhat speechless: "Who gave them this assist?"

Little did he know that it was the other six members of the team who unintentionally encouraged it.

Often, even if the person involved wasn't thinking anything, if they keep being teased by others, they can't help but start thinking that way, and eventually, as they keep thinking about it... it feels like it really is true...

Silent all night.

Qin Jian didn't tease Shui Bing'er anymore. He felt he had done enough for the day, and any more would have driven this timid and insecure girl crazy...

The next morning.

As Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er walked downstairs together, they saw six pairs of bright, sparkling eyes staring at them.

Unfortunately, Qin Jian remained calm, and Shui Bing'er walked with her head down as usual. Hmm…

There is no inconvenience in her walking posture.

Finding nothing amiss, the group simultaneously showed expressions of disappointment.

"Everyone got up really early today, so I didn't have to knock on each door individually?"

Yan Zhi Ning appeared at the door right on time. She glanced at the eight people and waved, saying, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast first, and then go to the simulation training ground."

When the group arrived at the entrance to the simulated training ground, they found seven or eight female teachers waiting there.

Except for Xiao Jing, who looked relatively young, the rest of these people were all middle-aged or elderly.

"These are the high-ranking members of our Tianshui Academy; each of them is at least a Soul King..."

Yan Zhining explained, "These high-ranking officials will also be watching the entire sparring match between Qin Jian and Yu Hairou and Xue Wu today."

Shui Bing'er and the others were slightly startled, and then they all looked at Qin Jian.

The arrival of these high-ranking officials was clearly out of concern for Qin Jian, which is why they came to check on him.

So his performance today is very important. If he fails, he might be disqualified and kicked out of the Tianshui team.

"You guys go in, I'll stay here with them and watch the battle from the sidelines."

Yan Zhi Ning waved for Qin Jian, Shui Bing'er, and the others to go inside, and then activated the light screen to project the scene inside.

"Yan Zhi Ning, if Qin Jian loses this battle, I suggest that he be stripped of his Tianshui Academy student status," Xiao Jing suddenly said.

Yan Zhi Ning glanced at her and sneered, "I said yesterday that even if we don't let him be the captain of the Tianshui team, we can't revoke his student status. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is behind him, and his teacher is a peak Douluo!"

These words were met with nods of agreement from the other senior teachers, who clearly agreed with them.

"Then let's expel them from the Tianshui team."

Seeing that no one agreed with her, Xiao Jing conceded, "A captain who can't win people's hearts is better off not having one."

"Don't worry, I believe he'll be fine," Yan Zhi Ning said easily.

She had personally witnessed Qin Jian, with his level 20 soul power, kill a level 30 soul beast, so even though Yu Hairou and Xue Wu, both level 28, were working together, she wasn't too worried.

Xiao Jing glanced at her, crossed her arms, and said, "I know where your confidence comes from. It's just that you defeated a soul beast equivalent to level 30. Hmph, that's far inferior to the combination of Yu Hairou and Xue Wu."

Many teachers nodded slightly at this moment: "That's right, Yu Hairou is an offensive type, and Xue Wu is a support type. When the two of them work together, they can fight even a level 35 Soul Master."

Yan Zhi Ning didn't say anything more, only saying, "Then let's just watch..."

At that time, Qin Jian, who was only level 20, didn't even have a second spirit ring. How could these people know the immense potential Qin Jian possessed if they hadn't witnessed it firsthand?

Yan Zhi Ning's lips curled up, full of confidence.

Within the mimicry training ground.

Snowflakes flew everywhere, turning the world into a frozen wasteland.

This is actually a simulated scene of frozen mountains and rivers.

"Qin Jian, in this simulated training ground, the strength of us water-type martial soul masters will increase even further..."

Shui Bing'er looked at him with some worry and said, "Are you really going to fight Hai Rou and Xue Wu's souls alone?"

Qin Jian smiled and said, "There's no turning back now. The higher-ups are watching this place, so there's no way I can back down."

"Back down? I'll look down on you then," Yu Hairou suddenly said.

Xue Wu also showed a look of disdain: "That's right, no one likes a cowardly man."

"Hai Rou, Xue Wu, it's two against one, could you please get some... um..."

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but want to say something in Qin Jian's defense, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

But even the half-finished sentence she uttered was incredibly damaging. Xue Wu glared at her: "Hey! Bing'er! You slept with a man for one night, and now you're cursing me!"

"Qin Jian! Stop talking nonsense! Come and fight!" she shouted angrily.

Yu Hairou stood with her on the ice, facing Qin Jian, who had a casual expression.

The others stepped aside.

High-ranking officials outside the company also became more alert.

"Please reveal your martial spirits." Shui Bing'er temporarily took on the role of referee.

"Yu Hairou, Level 28 Power Attack Type Soul Master, Martial Soul: Coral Barracuda!"

"Xue Wu, Level 29 Support-type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Delicate Snow Satin!"

The two stood one after the other, and two bright yellow soul rings rose up from beneath their feet at the same time.

Everyone then looked at Qin Jian.

He smiled slightly: "Qin Jian, Level 23 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Love Sword."

hum!

A bright yellow spirit ring lit up, which did not surprise anyone else.

hum!

Another spirit ring followed closely behind, causing everyone to pause in surprise.

Because it was a purple soul ring!

"The second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring?!"

Several people exclaimed in shock: "How could he possibly withstand the power of a thousand-year-old soul beast's soul ring?!"

Not only them, but even high-ranking officials outside the industry were shocked.

"A second spirit ring that's a thousand-year spirit ring? I've never seen one like that before..."

An elderly teacher with white hair remarked, "Xiao Yan has excellent taste."

Xiao Jing frowned and said, "It might just be a soul ring that barely reaches the thousand-year mark, which isn't much higher than Xue Wu's or Yu Hairou's!"

The others fell silent.

Even Yan Zhi Ning was too lazy to refute, because a thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-year soul ring are completely different levels, and the soul skills they produce will also be vastly different.

"A thousand-year-old spirit ring..."

Yu Hairou and Xue Wu exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming serious.

Regardless of the circumstances, in terms of talent alone, the young man in front of them certainly outshone them.

"Battle begins!"

Before Shui Bing'er could finish speaking, Yu Hairou darted out like a harpoon, her first spirit ring lighting up at the same time.

"First Soul Skill, Snow Shuttle Thrust!"

At the same time, Xue Wu spun around, and a halo of light fell on Yu Hairou: "First Soul Skill, Shadow Dance of Light!"
