Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 8 Get out of here

It wasn't until the elder announced the result that the surrounding audience realized what had happened.

"Tch, they actually managed to make someone admit defeat just because of their looks."

"How shameless! He actually took advantage of the girl's feelings."

"Exactly! Even if he's Sword Douluo's personal disciple, he shouldn't do this..."

"..."

The uninformed public drew a seemingly plausible conclusion, while teenagers of the same age condemned it.

It's unclear whether they were genuinely standing up for Qin Jian or simply jealous of his good looks...

"I don't believe all his opponents are girls. When a male Soul Master comes on stage, he'll definitely get a beating."

Gu Yue, who had just won a game, showed no sign of joy; he was more interested in seeing Qin Jian beaten to the ground.

As it turned out, in the second match, the opponent was still a girl…

Soon, another young girl fell in love at first sight on the sidelines…

This further enraged the crowd, and the teenagers gritted their teeth, wishing they could punch him in the face.

In the third round, as expected, a young man finally came up.

"Su Jiang, Level 9 Battle Soul Warrior, Martial Soul: Earth Wolf, Qin Sword, take this!"

Without saying a word, he was about to rush up when a group of teenagers below excitedly waved their arms and legs, eager to see Qin Jian get a lesson.

Qin Jian simply smiled lightly, then looked directly at Su Jiang, a faint pink sword aura flashing in his eyes.

"You...can leave..."

He just kept saying it casually.

This drew scorn from many of the teenagers in the audience: "He probably thought his opponent was a girl!"

But the next moment, a scene that shocked everyone appeared once again.

Su Jiang's speed suddenly decreased, and he finally stopped in front of Qin Jian. Then, he silently turned around and walked off the stage...

The entire room fell silent.

"Hey, Su Jiang, why did you come down here so suddenly?!" Finally, a young man questioned.

Su Jiang shook his head, somewhat confused, and said, "I don't know either... I just suddenly felt no hostility towards him..."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Silently influencing the opponent's mind, what a terrifying soul skill..."

Bone Douluo's expression was somewhat solemn: "Old Sword Master, your disciple has a bright future ahead of him."

Ning Fengzhi also said, "This soul skill isn't entirely undefendable. I finally sensed the fluctuation of soul power just now. It must be because the opponent isn't of the opposite sex... However, Uncle Jian, he hasn't shown any offensive power yet, which is unlike your disciple."

Sword Douluo smiled, a rare occurrence for him: "Sect Master, just wait and see."

In the ensuing matches, everyone was focused on Qin Jian, yet somewhat speechless.

Because regardless of gender, anyone who encounters Qin Jian will face their own fate.

This is irresistible to both men and women...

Until the final match, the contest between Qin Jian and Gu Yue.

"The final match will be between Qin Jian and Gu Yue."

Before the elder presiding over the meeting had even finished speaking, Ning Rongrong shouted, "Go Qin Jian! You must win!"

But her action seemed to cause an uproar, and the teenagers around the venue became furious.

"Go, Guyue! Go, Guyue!"

"Beat him to the ground, and we'll acknowledge you as our boss!"

"Exactly! Don't be a coward! Whatever you do, don't walk down by yourself!"

"..."

The crowd was in an uproar, leaving the surrounding elders and sect leaders both amused and exasperated.

No one expected Qin Jian to incur the wrath of the masses, and even Ning Rongrong was taken aback by the situation.

"Old Sword Master, if Qin Jian uses the same trick again and makes Gu Yue lose like this, then he won't be able to get along with the younger generation in the sect in the future..." Bone Douluo shook his head and said.

"I guess he won't continue like that in this battle..." Sword Douluo said uncertainly.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Qin Jian and asked curiously, "Without using that soul skill, his level 11 soul power shouldn't be enough to defeat Gu Yue, who is level 15, right?"

"Level 11?"

Bone Douluo was somewhat surprised: "He finally leveled up by one level?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "That's right, it seems like he was promoted just a few days ago."

"We'll see..."

Sword Douluo looked expectantly at the arena.

He was eager to know what level of soul power Qin Jian currently possessed. Judging from Ning Rongrong's performance, he should be at least... level 12, right?

In the field.

Gu Yue clenched his fists, glared at Qin Jian, and coldly shouted, "Don't even think about defeating me like that again!"

"Gu Yue, Level 16 Defensive Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Bone Dragon!"

"He's at level 16?"

Ning Fengzhi said in surprise, "It hasn't been more than a few months since the last improvement, has this kid's talent been extremely high?"

Bone Douluo nodded smugly and said, "He is still very diligent in his cultivation."

hum.

In the arena, a yellow spirit ring rose from beneath Gu Yue's feet, causing another uproar among the crowd.

After all, most Soul Masters' first Soul Ring is at the ten-year level. A hundred-year level Soul Ring would exceed the limit that many people's bodies can absorb. Only genius Soul Masters can absorb a hundred-year Soul Ring, and Gu Yue is obviously among them.

"Xiao Gu is a defensive type of Soul Master, so his physical attributes are much stronger. Therefore, he absorbed a Soul Ring that is three hundred years old."

Bone Douluo spoke with no small amount of pride, then looked at Sword Douluo and said, "Old Sword, I wonder what level Qin Jian's first spirit ring is?"

Sword Douluo crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Just watch."

Gu Yue had already activated all his spirit rings and martial soul, and everyone looked at Qin Jian, wondering if he would say, "You can leave now..."

They would all vomit blood if they did that…

Fortunately, Qin Jian did not disappoint them. Facing Gu Yue, he said seriously, "I've never had a proper fight with you before. This time, I'll give you respect."

hum.

A yellow spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.

The entire room fell silent.

"This color is the purest century-old soul ring..."

Bone Douluo's expression changed: "Old Sword Man, how many years is your disciple's first spirit ring? It doesn't look like it's a hundred or two hundred years old."

"Hey, Old Bone, Jian'er's spirit rings have reached the limit he can handle..."

On Sword Douluo's usually wooden face, an barely suppressed smug look appeared: "This is a 900-year spirit ring!"

"900 years?!"

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both stood up in shock.

"How is that possible?! No one could have such physical strength at the age of eight or nine!"

Bone Douluo's incredulous expression secretly pleased Sword Douluo.

He thought to himself, "Indeed, no one can reach that level, but Jian'er isn't human; she's a million-year-old soul beast in human form!"

In the field.

Qin Jian ignored the clamor around him. He simply looked at Gu Yue, who was also filled with shock, and then announced loudly, "Qin Jian, Level 14, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, Martial Soul: Love Sword!"

"Wh...what?!"

Ning Fengzhi, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up again: "Level 14...?!"

Bone Douluo didn't immediately react: "Sect Master, what level did you just say he was a few days ago?"

Ning Fengzhi's face twitched: "Just a few days ago, he had just reached level 11..."
