Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 83 I Only Want You

"Qin Jian!"

Ignoring the commotion from the other six, Shui Bing'er couldn't take it anymore.

She stomped hard on Qin Jian's foot, angrily saying, "Think about it yourself, I'm ignoring you!"

Then he rushed out of the small building in a flurry of activity.

"Wow! Captain is awesome!"

Qiu Ruoshui suddenly raised her hands: "The captain is amazing for making the usually mild-mannered Bing'er so angry!"

"Captain is awesome!"

Six sweet, delicate female voices cheered together.

Qin Jian crossed his arms: "Bing'er getting angry is normal. You'll have your chance in the future..."

Before the group of people could figure it out, he also walked out, heading in the direction Shui Bing'er had gone...

After the group of eight finished breakfast, Yan Zhi Ning came to find them.

"Let's go to the Tianshui Arena."

Yan Zhi Ning said, "The news of your return has spread throughout the entire academy, and everyone is looking forward to today's battle."

"There's nothing to look forward to. Bing'er will have no problem dealing with Huo Wu," Qiu Ruoshui said cheerfully.

Shui Bing'er glanced at her indifferently.

"I'm doomed! The captain's wife has her eye on me! I'm dead! Captain, you have to help me!"

Qiu Ruoshui quickly hid behind Qin Jian.

"I'm sorry, but if I were to help, it would be my Bing'er."

Qin Jian took a step away without hesitation, causing Shui Bing'er's lips to curve slightly.

"Sigh, these two are truly of one mind..."

Qiu Ruoshui, hands on her hips, said helplessly, "My days are numbered..."

The others couldn't help but laugh.

"Seeing you all so relaxed makes me feel relieved," Yan Zhi Ning said.

She could sense that after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the entire Tianshui team had truly become one, with no more barriers between them...

This is the team dynamic she's always wanted!

When the nine of them entered the Soul Arena of Tianshui Academy, they found it already packed with people.

The seats around him were filled with girls dressed in light blue college uniforms, and the visual impact made Qin Jian's eyes glaze over for a moment.

"snort!"

Then he heard Shui Bing'er hum softly beside him, and she grabbed his left hand and pulled him forward: "Don't look! Let's go! To the high platform."

"Wow, Bing'er has really changed a lot. She would never have dared to do something like this in public before."

Qiu Ruoshui's voice was the loudest, but it drew nods of agreement from the others.

On the high platform, besides the high-level leaders, there were four figures who were clearly out of place.

Huo Wu in her gold and red battle robes and her teacher from the Blazing Fire Academy, Feng Xiaotian in his wind-green battle robes, and their teacher from the Divine Wind Academy—that made a group of four.

However, they completely overwhelmed Tianshui Academy. Before Feng Xiaotian even made a move, Huo Wu alone completely defeated the remaining students of Tianshui Academy who were above level 30.

"Huh? Is that... the Tianshui Academy team?" At this moment, they finally spotted Qin Jian and his group.

The girls in the stands fell silent, casting hopeful glances at the group.

After all, the Tianshui team is the most promising student in Tianshui Academy. Even though only three of them are currently above level 30, their level will definitely surpass everyone else when the All-Continent Advanced Academy Soul Master Elite Tournament comes around. That's the difference in potential.

"Why are there men on the Tianshui Academy's team?"

Seeing Qin Jian being surrounded by people, even Feng Xiaotian, whose mind was entirely focused on Huo Wu, felt a pang of envy deep down.

Hearing this, Huo Wu, who was perched on the railing not far away, casually glanced over: "The only one who poses a threat to the Tianshui team is Shui Bing'er, but she was no match for me last time, and she's even less likely to be my opponent this time... If Qin Jian hadn't intervened halfway, I wouldn't have missed that soul beast..."

"I wonder where that guy went. He's not even at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

She was halfway through her sentence when her eyes suddenly widened: "Qin Jian! What's he doing here?!"

"Hmm? He's Qin Jian? Oh right, I have indeed met him before. He did a absolutely perfect job in that simulated Soul Hunting event..."

Feng Xiaotian's previously bored expression suddenly turned serious: "I didn't expect him to join Tianshui Academy, and judging from his appearance, he's even a member of the Tianshui team. Well, I wasn't as good as him last time, but this time it's different!"

"He dares to show his face in front of me again! This time I'll beat him to a pulp!" Huo Wu was rubbing her hands together, itching for a fight.

"Why do I suddenly feel a chill..."

Qin Jian, who was being held by Shui Bing'er, suddenly stopped and looked towards the high platform. Sure enough, he met Huo Wu's excited gaze and Feng Xiaotian's eager expression.

"Huh? Why are these two looking at me like that?"

Qin Jian said speechlessly, "Isn't today your solo show, Bing'er?"

Shui Bing'er also witnessed this scene, and a smile crept onto her lips: "They seem to care more about you..."

Finally, they arrived at the foot of the platform.

As you climb the wide steps, one by one, you become clearer to everyone.

"Isn't that Qin Jian? Our academy's only male student."

"He was being held hand-in-hand, and it was Shui Bing'er, the previously designated team captain!"

"Wow, they're actually a couple?"

"..."

Originally, all the female students' attention was focused on the upcoming Soul Battle, but the appearance of the Tianshui team, especially Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er holding hands at the front, sparked another discussion about couples.

"As expected of our Tianshui Academy, they pay less attention to battle spirits than to gossip..."

Qin Jian chuckled and said, "The gossip of a bunch of girls... it's truly astonishing!"

Shui Bing'er's lips curved slightly: "So, do you like it here?"

"I like it," Qin Jian said without hesitation.

"Then how about we stay here forever?" Shui Bing'er suddenly turned to look at him and asked.

Qin Jian was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Bing'er, you are really different now than before. You never took the initiative to fight for anything before, and you never had the courage to hold my hand in public."

Shui Bing'er's face showed a serious expression: "Qin Jian... I just understand... if you want to get something, you have to actively strive for it..."

"Before, I didn't know what to do; life was pushing me forward..."

She looked at Qin Jian and said, "From now on, I want to pursue what I want, I want to actively embrace life, I want to..."

She just stared at Qin Jian, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter, like a phoenix that had just awakened and was eager to try!

"I want you!"

Her words made Qin Jian's eyes widen.

"I don't want to lose to Ning Rongrong, or to anyone else..."

"I just want to keep you by my side forever..."
