Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 89 The Counterattack [Seeking First Subscriptions!]

Inside the arena, various lights shone brightly, celebrating Tianshui Academy's victory.

The area was filled with noise and excitement, and the girls from the Tianshui team happily hugged each other.

But Qin Jian showed no excitement whatsoever, as if the surrounding celebration had nothing to do with him.

He slowly turned around, walked off the stage, came to Shui Bing'er's side, bent down, and gently hugged her frail body.

"Qin Jian, you won... That's great..." Shui Bing'er murmured, leaning against him.

Qin Jian slowly tightened his grip, holding her even closer: "I'm sorry... I let you get so badly injured..."

"It's okay, a teacher just helped me recover, I'll be fine after resting for another ten days or so..."

Shui Bing'er gently stroked Qin Jian's face and said, "You're already very good. I never thought you could beat Feng Xiaotian. His self-created skill at the end was just too amazing..."

"Knowing you couldn't stop it, you still tried to block it. What a fool you are," Qin Jian said softly.

Shui Bing'er twitched the corner of her mouth and said helplessly, "My body just moved instinctively at the time, I didn't have time to think about anything else..."

Qin Jian's gaze softened even more...

"Qin Jian, do you need any help?"

At this moment, Yan Zhi Ning led a group of students from the Tianshui team over.

"Captain, Captain, you're amazing!" Qiu Ruoshui said with a grin.

"Yeah, yeah, the captain is amazing!"

The other five people gathered around him, practically showering him with praise...

But Qin Jian simply reached out to Yan Zhi Ning and said, "Teacher Zhi Ning, could I borrow your microphone for a moment?"

"microphone?"

Yan Zhi Ning handed over the microphone, asking curiously, "Qin Jian, what do you need the microphone for?"

Qin Jian didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he put the microphone to his mouth and whispered, "Shenfeng Academy..."

The voice wasn't loud, but it drowned out the noise of the entire room thanks to the microphone.

Everyone searched for the source of the sound, finally focusing on the figure of the boy who was surrounded by girls and holding Shui Bing'er beside the battle platform.

"Kamikaze Academy..."

Qin Jian repeated the sentence again, and then slowly said, "Ten days later, on behalf of Tianshui Academy, I will come to challenge your academy... all students below level 35."

These words caused a brief moment of silence in the entire Soul Arena, but the next moment it erupted into chaos.

"Qin Jian is going to challenge us! He's going to come and challenge us!"

"Was it provoked? Because of the intervention of the last Kamikaze Academy teacher!"

"Didn't you see he was holding Shui Bing'er? It must be because Shui Bing'er is injured..."

"..."

A cacophony of voices erupted.

The Tianshui team members were extremely excited, their faces flushed.

Only Shui Bing'er's eyes remained calm and composed, showing no agitation but rather some worry: "Qin Jian, I'm fine. Don't be so hostile towards Shenfeng Academy..."

"fine…"

Qin Jian handed the microphone back to Yan Zhi Ning and said with his head down, "We were just giving them a taste of their own medicine. Since they've come to our doorstep, why can't we fight back?"

"What about Blazing Fire Academy?"

Xuewu suddenly asked, "In the beginning, she was the one who started all the trouble."

Qin Jian looked up and said, "We'll fight them one by one. If we fight them all back, it won't be good for us at the Five Elements Academy. As for why we chose the Divine Wind Academy..."

He then looked at Shui Bing'er: "Of course it's because Feng Xiaotian injured Bing'er, I can't rest easy if I don't retaliate..."

"Sister, I'm so jealous of you..."

Shuiyue pouted and said, "The captain is too good to you!"

Shui Bing'er smiled and said, "You can take it, I won't stop you."

"Wow!"

They all exclaimed in surprise, "Bing'er is so confident now!"

"No..."

Shui Bing'er chuckled softly, "I just believe him..."

"It's so sweet it makes my heart ache..." Xuewu pouted.

Qin Jian simply exchanged a smile with Shui Bing'er...

"Teacher Yan Zhining, is your Tianshui Academy really going to keep targeting Shenfeng Academy?"

At that moment, a teacher from Kamikaze Academy suddenly walked over.

Yan Zhi Ning turned around and went to meet them: "You were the ones who came to challenge us first, so how can you say we're holding a grudge?"

The other party frowned and said, "This is just the angry words of one of your students. Does Tianshui Academy really take it seriously?"

Yan Zhi Ning smiled and pointed at Qin Jian, saying, "He's not an ordinary student. He's the captain of our Tianshui team, so he has the right to challenge teams from outside the school."

"That's right, Tianshui Academy isn't without its own temper either. Are you allowed to come here, but we can't?" Xiao Jing chimed in at this moment.

She is also someone who truly prioritizes the honor of the academy. Even though her teaching philosophy has always been at odds with Yan Zhi Ning's, they will still stand together against external forces.

"Alright, then our Kamikaze Academy will be waiting for you!"

Kamikaze's teacher angrily took Feng Xiaotian and left.

But just as Qin Jian and the others were about to take Shui Bing'er back to rest, Huo Wu suddenly approached them hesitantly.

"Fire Dance from Blazing Academy? What are you doing here?" Qiu Ruoshui asked in a very unpleasant tone.

Huo Wu's face lacked its usual fiery demeanor; instead, she appeared somewhat hesitant.

"Can I...can I speak a few words with Qin Jian alone?" she whispered.

Several people looked at each other.

"What do you want to tell me?" Qin Jian asked as he stepped forward, holding Shui Bing'er.

Huo Wu glanced at Shui Bing'er, then fixed her gaze on Qin Jian's face, and said, "This... isn't convenient to talk about right now..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others became strange.

"What's inconvenient to say? Confessing your feelings?"

Qiu Ruoshui still couldn't control her mouth.

Huo Wu blushed slightly and shook her head, saying, "No, but this matter only concerns Qin Jian, so..."

Qin Jian frowned and said, "I still need to take Bing'er back. Let's talk about it later."

Huo Wu breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't refuse outright, and said, "Then I'll come find you again tomorrow."

After she left, Xue Wu gave Qin Jian a thumbs up: "Captain, well done! You just can't be nice to a girl with her personality!"

"You seem to know a lot about this..." Qin Jian gave her a strange look.

"Of course, I've seen a lot... cough cough..." Xue Wu suddenly stopped talking.

The others, however, began to look at him strangely.

Fortunately, they had already returned to their private residence by then. After Qin Jian took Shui Bing'er back to her room, they all dispersed.

Inside the bedroom, Qin Jian gently placed Shui Bing'er on the bed, then asked with a smile, "You're at your weakest today, what about taking a bath?"

"ah…"

Shui Bing'er immediately exclaimed in surprise, then hurriedly said, "Then I won't wash today..."

Seeing her somewhat flustered appearance, Qin Jian felt much better.

He leaned closer and whispered, "Bing'er, aren't you covered in dirt from today's battle? Are you really willing to let me hold you like this while you sleep?"
