Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 68 Team Dance Practice

Half a day has passed.

When the other six returned at dinner time, they found that there was no sound from Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er's bedroom.

"Huh? What's wrong with them?" Yu Hairou asked, puzzled.

Xue Wu frowned. "They didn't really spend the whole afternoon in the bedroom, did they?"

"It can't really be a drill, can it?" Qiu Ruoshui said.

Gu Qingbo thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, who practices in the bedroom..."

"What are they doing?" Shen Liuyu habitually touched her light green hair.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves?" Shuiyue'er said.

"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say!"

The others suddenly spoke in unison.

Then Shuiyue'er was pushed to the front and brought up to the second floor.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you pushing me in front?" Shuiyue struggled frantically.

"Hehe, who told you to be Bing'er's sister! Of course you should do this kind of thing... If you see something you shouldn't see, Bing'er won't really be angry with you..." Qiu Ruoshui said cheerfully.

"You bad guys!"

Shui Yue'er pouted, but still knocked on the door: "Sister? Captain? Are you there?"

There was not a sound.

The six people looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

"Moon, open the door and take a look..." Xuewu suddenly said.

Shuiyue hesitated slightly, but still reached out her hand.

"Click..."

The door was slowly pushed open.

In the quiet bedroom, the last rays of the setting sun streamed in, falling on the soft bed and on the two sleeping faces.

"Huh? They're actually asleep? And in the same bed..." Shen Liuyu whispered.

Several people tiptoed in and came to Qin Jian's bedside.

Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er were lying face to face, their clothes still on and their shoes still on, with heavy breathing coming from one side of them.

The group exchanged glances, then tacitly withdrew and carefully closed the door behind them.

"What did those two do this afternoon? They seem really tired..."

Once they were back in the lobby on the first floor, they began to speak louder.

Yu Hairou hugged herself and said, "Anyway, the clothes are still intact and I can wear them."

"That's true, Bing'er knows her limits," Shen Liuyu said.

At this moment, Xuewu glanced at their room and suddenly said, "Let's go have dinner first, and then bring some back for them, otherwise they'll go hungry if we miss dinner time."

"Huh? Xuewu, you care about the captain too?" Qiu Ruoshui said in surprise.

"I'm concerned about Bing'er!"

Xue Wu turned her head away and said, "It's still a long way from my captain getting my approval!"

So when Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er woke up from their sleep, they saw dinner on the bedside table.

The two looked at each other and saw the warmth in each other's eyes.

It always feels so good to be cared for...

"I'm so tired from training today..."

Qin Jian stood up and stretched: "Let's get some rest after dinner. Tomorrow's team training depends on you."

"oh…"

Shui Bing'er responded softly.

Then she remembered what happened that afternoon, and her body felt hot and weak again…

Fortunately, Qin Jian stopped paying attention to her and focused on his dinner.

Although it was a bit cold, it didn't affect the taste. The food at Tianshui Academy was comparable to that of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"team leader…"

Shui Bing'er suddenly thought of something and said, "Don't you need to cultivate? I haven't seen you cultivate your soul power at all these past two days."

"I've been cultivating all along..."

Qin Jian turned around and smiled: "Look, I'm level 24 now."

"Level 24?!"

Shui Bing'er's eyes widened: "It hasn't been that long, and you've already leveled up again?!"

"wrong!"

She suddenly stood up: "You were only level 22 when you first arrived!"

Even Yan Zhi Ning didn't notice this detail...

"This is my special talent, and my improvement is different from others..."

Qin Jian looked at her and smiled, saying, "Generally speaking, within a major realm, the first five levels are easy to advance through, but it becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. To break through a major realm... requires going through excruciating pain..."

Shui Bing'er was completely bewildered.

Qin Jian hadn't intended to explain clearly, otherwise he would have failed his nine trials to become a god, and it would have caused his soul power to collapse completely.

"Alright, just consider me a genius. Generally speaking, if I'm lucky, I can improve very quickly..." Qin Jian said with a smile.

Shui Bing'er could only nod blankly.

How could she possibly know that Qin Jian's advancement in soul power at the Great Soul Master level relied on her favorability with each level he gained...

the next day.

When Qin Jian and the seven members of the Tianshui Girls' Group arrived at their exclusive simulated training ground, they found Yan Zhi Ning already waiting there.

"Today's team training begins, organized by our new captain."

She led the group into the cultivation grounds.

What they didn't know was that after they all went inside, Xiao Jing led a number of high-ranking officials to activate the light screen once again.

"I'd like to see what tricks Qin Jian can pull off with the Tianshui team..."

Xiao Jing gazed indifferently at the scene before her…

It's still that same snowy, icy place.

"Qin Jian, what are you training for today? Are you planning to have one-on-one battles to train your combat skills, or are you going to have team drills to train your teamwork? If that's the case, I might have to activate other states of the simulated training ground," Yan Zhi Ning asked.

Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er exchanged a glance, then stepped forward with a smile and said, "Today's training for our team is..."

Everyone was looking at him with curiosity.

"Hmm... I'm learning to dance today," Qin Jian said casually.

Whew…

A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone shivered.

"Qin Jian, are you kidding me?"

Yan Zhi Ning said speechlessly, "Learning to dance can be considered training?"

The others nodded in agreement.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Jian nodded very seriously and said, "Instructor Zhi Ning, the first team training I arranged is indeed learning team dance."

Yan Zhi Ning glanced at him a few times, and after confirming that he wasn't joking, she could only rub her forehead and say, "Alright, since I'm the one who made you the captain, then you're in charge... Luckily, no high-ranking officials will be watching today, otherwise I'd be under pressure again..."

"Thank you, Instructor Zhi Ning," Qin Jian said sincerely.

He knew it would be quite difficult to actually train him like that, but he didn't expect that his mentor, Zhi Ning, would trust him so much.

What they didn't know was that a group of high-ranking officials were actually watching from the outside, and things were in an uproar.

"Gentlemen, look at Qin Jian, he doesn't look like a captain at all!"

Xiao Jing couldn't wait to fan the flames: "How could he let the team learn to dance? Isn't that a waste of time?"

Many high-level leaders nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement.

But the white-haired teacher's words temporarily silenced their objections: "Let's see how it goes first, don't jump to conclusions..."
