Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 69 The Significance of Learning Team Dance

Inside the cultivation grounds.

The six members of the team finally resigned themselves to their fate and lined up in two rows, ready to learn the dance.

"Captain, are you going to teach us to dance yourself? I heard from Bing'er that you were the first place winner in this year's Royal Etiquette Training graduation performance!" Qiu Ruoshui asked curiously.

Her words piqued the interest of the others as well.

Although my dance style doesn't really match the team's style, as a girl, I still hope that I can dance well.

Regardless, this is also a manifestation of one's own charm...

Qin Jian nodded and then shook his head, smiling, "I do know this group dance, but I won't teach you myself..."

"Then who will teach?" Shuiyue asked.

At this moment, Yu Hairou, who reacted quickly, looked at Shui Bing'er, who was still standing next to Qin Jian: "Could it be Bing'er?"

"No way, how can Bing'er teach people with her personality?" Xue Wu asked doubtfully.

The others nodded in agreement.

But Qin Jian pushed Shui Bing'er forward at this moment: "Hai Rou guessed right. I taught Bing'er some of the moves yesterday, and she will teach you today."

The other six people all looked at Shui Bing'er with suspicion, but Yan Zhi Ning's eyes lit up.

Regardless of whether Qin Jian had other motives for asking to learn dance, having Shui Bing'er teach him was a brilliant move.

"Um... Today I'll teach you all the moves the captain taught me yesterday... Follow along with me..."

Shui Bing'er had just finished speaking when Qin Jian picked his ear beside her and said, "Bing'er, I didn't hear what you said. Can you speak a little louder? We're all your teammates, we're not going to eat you."

Hearing Qin Jian's words, Yan Zhi Ning became even more certain of her judgment; this was indeed the real training aimed at Shui Bing'er.

"Oh...I understand..."

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and tried to raise her voice.

The other six exchanged glances and began to understand why Qin Jian insisted on having Shui Bing'er teach him.

"The first move is... watch me do it..."

Shui Bing'er's idea was quite good. As long as the others followed her instructions, it would be much easier than what Qin Jian taught her yesterday.

But when she actually stood at the front to do the first move, she felt as if her body had stiffened, and naturally, she did a terrible job.

"Pfft..."

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Qin Jian immediately covered her voice loudly, saying, "Bing'er, you did a good job, but everyone didn't see it clearly enough. Let's do it again."

At the same time, he gestured to the other six people: "Watch Bing'er's demonstration carefully and don't get distracted."

Xuewu and the others immediately understood what he meant. Even those who didn't understand quietly reminded each other.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath and demonstrated it again.

"Wow, that move looks great..."

At this moment, Qiu Ruoshui immediately said, "Bing'er, you are so amazing! I want to learn that move from you too."

As soon as she said that, Qin Jian clearly saw Shui Bing'er relax slightly.

He secretly gave Qiu Ruoshui a thumbs up.

The others quickly grasped the concept and praised it.

Shui Bing'er scratched her head sheepishly, and then she relaxed even more.

"Let's all try this move together..."

At this point, she finally got the other six people to start learning as well.

Qin Jian spoke again: "Bing'er, their physical conditions are different, so their posture and movements for this dance may need some minor adjustments. Observe their characteristics carefully and then give them individual guidance."

"OK."

Shui Bing'er nodded obediently and began to observe very carefully.

Yan Zhi Ning nodded, finally completely at ease with Qin Jian, having understood his intentions.

After some guidance and instruction, Shui Bing'er had corrected everyone's movements several times and was gradually starting to look like a teacher.

The morning passed quickly.

At this moment, Qin Jian clapped his hands and said, "You have learned ten moves today. Now I suggest you practice them in sequence. However, since I haven't finished making the accompaniment yet, you can only adapt to each other's rhythms and try to keep your movements as uniform as possible."

The first attempt at a continuous dance was naturally a complete mess.

So Qin Jian said, "While you are doing your own thing, you also need to pay attention to the position and actions of everyone else."

"Huh? How is that even possible?" Shuiyue couldn't help but exclaim.

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "You'll get used to it. We're a team, and it's only natural that we keep an eye on our teammates' situations."

Gu Qingbo, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others nodded.

Those as intelligent as Shui Bing'er, and those with exceptional talent like Xue Wu and Yu Hai Rou, began to understand what Qin Jian wanted them to train.

It's not just about the dance itself...

And they all realized it, and the experienced senior advisors outside also gradually came to their senses.

The elderly instructor, leaning on his cane, exclaimed, "Simplifying complexity, excellent, excellent!"

"Combat is an extremely complex matter. To cultivate a qualified control-type Soul Master and a team of members who cooperate seamlessly, it may require hundreds or even thousands of real combat experiences..."

She said slowly, "But Qin Jian chose to simplify the process from the very beginning, instead of simulating combat, he chose to use dancing..."

"First, there's the issue of Shui Bing'er's personality. She's always lacked confidence and was very timid. Qin Jian arranged for her to teach everyone, which will allow her to develop and increase her confidence..."

"Furthermore, as a control-type Soul Master, she must constantly monitor the situation of each team member and understand the characteristics of each companion, which is also an ability that can be cultivated while teaching dance..."

The veteran teacher looked on with admiration: "The other team members, lacking music, couldn't find the rhythm and had to rely on mutual observation and understanding to coordinate their movements, which further enhanced their teamwork..."

"Judging from this small example, I think this team leader is fine..."

She paused on her cane and said to Xiao Jing, "Coach Xiao, please stop dwelling on this. If he can bring a more mature Tianshui team, or even a top-three finish in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, then it's nothing to be criticized by others."

Xiao Jing couldn't help but stomp her foot and said, "Dean, even with all these benefits, look at the kind of dance he's teaching! A lot of the moves are way too provocative! What kind of behavior is this?!"

"Hahaha…"

The old director laughed and waved his hand, saying, "This group dance really brought out the beauty of these young girls, but we don't need to worry too much about the details. As long as it's effective, that's fine. I see they're all having a lot of fun learning it..."
