Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 9 My body is like a sword!

"What the heck?!"

Bone Douluo also stood up, and started speaking recklessly.

"Hahaha…"

Sword Douluo felt he hadn't laughed so heartily in many years.

The audience around the arena weren't as surprised as they were. Although they all knew that Qin Jian hadn't increased his soul power for three consecutive years, he was, after all, Sword Douluo's personal disciple, so it wasn't unacceptable that he had suddenly increased his level by 4.

Ning Fengzhi, who knew perfectly well Qin Jian's soul power level a few days ago, simply couldn't believe it.

"Uncle Jian, what's going on? Why is Qin Jian's soul power increasing so quickly?" he couldn't help but ask.

Bone Douluo, who was standing nearby, also perked up his ears.

Sword Douluo frowned slightly. He leaned closer to the two of them and whispered, "This is Sword'er's biggest secret, and I can't reveal it to him..."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Old Swordsman, with his unique first soul skill and this rapid improvement in ability, in terms of talent, he definitely surpasses Gu Yue. However, his attitude towards the sect..." Bone Douluo hesitated.

Even Ning Fengzhi looked over.

Sword Douluo, however, was not worried at all: "You can rest assured about him. After spending several years with him, I have a clear understanding of his true nature. He will absolutely not let down the sect's upbringing!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded gently: "With Uncle Jian's judgment, I'm relieved..."

In the field.

Gu Yue finally snapped out of his shock: "You're already level 14? You've been hiding for so long just for this moment to make a name for yourself?"

"I suppose your soul power level was much higher than those opponents, which is why it worked so well..."

A confident glint appeared on his face: "But I'm not like them. Don't even think about trying the same trick again!"

His analysis made the unsuspecting crowd nod in agreement, thinking they had learned the truth.

Qin Jian simply smiled and said, "I advise you to use your full strength, or you'll lose in one round."

"The competition begins!"

Gu Yue glared at him, about to erupt in anger, but the presiding elder interrupted him.

"Bang!"

Without saying a word, he stomped his foot on the ground and charged forward.

"You won't even activate your Martial Soul; you'll pay the price for your arrogance!"

He roared, and the bone dragon martial spirit behind him surged into his body: "First Soul Skill, Bone Claw!"

"sharp!"

The crowd watching his fluid and skillful attacks couldn't help but show their admiration.

"Gu Yue didn't want to repeat the mistakes of others, so he struck first, while Qin Jian hadn't even revealed his martial spirit yet. He lost the initiative in this first round..."

Bone Douluo laughed and said, "Although it's only a matter of time before Qin Jian surpasses Gu Yue, I estimate that my little Bone will still win this match."

Sword Douluo's expression remained unchanged: "Don't be too happy yet..."

In the field.

"Whoosh!"

As a massive bone claw hurtled toward him, several gasps of alarm rang out from below the stage, but Qin Jian remained calm. He raised his right hand in a sword-like gesture in front of his chest and then let out a cold shout.

"My body is like a sword!"

Bang!

The next moment, a dark purple longsword crashed down in front of Qin Jian.

"Bang!"

The bone claws slammed into the longsword, producing a piercing sound.

"it's over…"

After Qin Jian's martial soul, the Love Sword, appeared, he seemed like a completely different person, exuding a murderous aura.

He no longer held back, but seized the moment when Gu Yue was shocked and flicked his right sword finger.

"Sword Qi!"

Clang!

A dark purple sword aura suddenly shot out from the longsword and struck the unsuspecting Gu Yue in the chest.

"puff!"

Gu Yue's figure flew backwards in the next moment, landing straight off the field, tumbling several times before stopping.

The entire room fell silent.

"What was that just now? A soul skill?"

"I didn't see it clearly. I only saw Gu Yue lose as soon as his martial spirit appeared."

"He's been hiding his true strength for the past three years, isn't he? He's clearly that powerful..."

"..."

Finally, a few scattered whispers began to rise.

Meanwhile, in the central stands, Ning Fengzhi, the Bone Douluo, was also immersed in shock.

Others might not understand, but the two of them, being so familiar with Sword Douluo's moves, naturally understood.

This is clearly Sword Douluo's self-created soul skill, a perfect fusion of man and sword!

"My body is like a sword" is the starting stance that Sword Douluo usually uses when summoning his martial soul.

The two looked at each other, then both turned to look at Sword Douluo.

"I told you not to be too happy yet."

Sword Douluo grinned.

He felt incredibly satisfied after finally suppressing his old rival.

Ning Rongrong was also extremely happy.

"Daddy, Daddy, Qin Jian got first place! Rongrong has the best eye, doesn't she?" She excitedly jumped into Ning Fengzhi's arms.

"Yes, yes, yes, my little princess has the best taste."

Ning Fengzhi could only agree repeatedly.

"The ultimate victor is Qin Jian!"

The presiding elder finally announced the results, but it generated very little response.

Because the surrounding audience didn't understand what was going on at all.

Only Gu Yue, who had gotten up from the ground, knew just how powerful Qin Jian's counterattack had been in that instant.

That sword energy tore through all his defenses, so his defeat was not unjust.

"I lost, you're better than me."

He stood in front of Qin Jian and said with difficulty, "But I will definitely catch up with you in the future!"

Qin Jian glanced at him, but didn't say anything, nor did he show any hostility.

Although everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School regarded the two of them as rivals, just like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

But Qin Jian himself never felt that way...

His opponents were never Gu Yue, but Ning Rongrong, who was cheering on the sidelines, and the eight outstanding women in the future.

The battlefield is love!

"Next, please have the direct disciples of the sect choose your partners. The first one is our little princess, Ning Rongrong!"

Before the elder could finish speaking, Ning Rongrong rushed forward: "Qin Jian, Qin Jian, I choose Qin Jian!"

No one was surprised by this result, because as the next successor, the sect leader's daughter could only choose the strongest.

"And Qin Jian, what about you? Do you accept?"

Perhaps out of humanitarian considerations, the elder asked Qin Jian for his opinion, and only after seeing him nod did he announce, "Alright, the first pairing is Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong."

Gu Yue's hands tightened and loosened, then tightened again, before finally bowing his head in despair.

He knew that this time he had been utterly defeated, and his three years of victories had been destroyed in an instant.

Qin Jian didn't watch the rest of the story because Ning Rongrong was already eagerly pulling him back: "Let's go, let's go, I want to hear more stories!"

And so everyone watched as the two of them swaggered away.

However, the excitement generated by this competition will not easily subside, since Ning Rongrong's partner in the end was not Gu Yue, as everyone had predicted, but Qin Jian, who had been silent for three years and then made a stunning debut.

Whether it was his inexplicable performance in the previous matches or his overwhelming victory at the end, the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School talked about it for a long time...
