Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 97 I've finished giving my instructions.

The Divine Wind Academy Arena.

Seeing that the other four were looking at him, Qin Jian couldn't help but smile.

He first said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, it is my promise to avenge you, and I will never give up easily."

Before Shui Bing'er could speak, he looked at Huo Wu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but that kind of slap in the face isn't thorough enough. Since they've put their faces right in our way, we should at least give them a good beating."

"So, Instructor Zhi Ning..."

Qin Jian turned to Yan Zhi Ning and said, "Let me go alone. For Bing'er, for the honor of the academy, and for my own peace of mind, I will not lose."

Yan Zhi Ning remained silent, seemingly undecided.

The teachers at Blazing Academy gave him a thumbs up without hesitation, though it was unclear whether they admired him or were happy that Huo Wu wouldn't have to risk her life on the field...

At this moment, Shui Bing'er pursed her lips, stepped forward to straighten Qin Jian's collar, and said softly, "Qin Jian, I support your decision."

She didn't say anything particularly affectionate, but she easily touched Qin Jian's heart.

He knew that Shui Bing'er was actually a very opinionated person at heart. She was most beautiful when she exuded a mature and sophisticated aura, but in front of him, she always managed to restrain herself appropriately.

When the two disagree, she can simply say, "I support your decision."

There's really no need for sweet words; this genuine affection, this willingness to suppress one's true feelings for Qin Jian, is what's most touching.

Qin Jian couldn't help but pull Shui Bing'er into his arms.

"Bing'er, just watch from the audience as I get revenge for you."

He whispered in Shui Bing'er's ear, and his confidence infected her, gradually calming her down.

"Fine... I'll see if you can get revenge for me..."

Huo Wu suddenly felt like a multi-kilowatt light bulb.

She had never felt this way before, but now she could clearly feel the sourness welling up inside her, mixed with a little jealousy towards Shui Bing'er.

Why shouldn't he be fighting for himself...?

"How long are you going to discuss this?"

The high-ranking member from Shenfeng Academy said impatiently, "If you still dare to fight, then go up there. Otherwise, withdraw from the Soul Arena, and we won't make things difficult for you."

Yan Zhi Ning then made up her mind: "Of course we will not back down."

"Alright, let's get ready to go on stage."

The high-ranking official quickly left and went to inform the group of other high-ranking officials about the situation. After the dean gave his approval, he picked up the narrator's microphone.

Then Qin Jian watched as his disgusting expression slowly transformed into a kind one.

He's an actor too!

"Fellow students, Qin Jian, the captain of the Tianshui team, will be challenging five students below level 35 from our academy. The battle is about to begin, please stay tuned!"

His voice echoed throughout the venue, immediately eliciting cheers.

"Kamikaze Academy will win!"

"They think their team's captain can take on all five of us? Dream on!"

"Let's teach them a lesson! Let them know that our Divine Wind Academy is the strongest!"

"..."

Amidst the cheers of countless students around them, the five Kamikaze Academies waved back, instantly igniting the atmosphere to a fever pitch, almost like a tsunami: "Kamikaze will win! Kamikaze will win! Kamikaze will win!"

Qin Jian slowly walked onto the stage under these circumstances, and at first no one even noticed.

"Huh? That's the captain of the Tianshui Academy team? He doesn't look that great!"

"Why is he a man? Aren't all the students at Tianshui Academy female?"

"Wow! I'm so envious of him! I want to go to Tianshui College too!"

"..."

The murmurs surged forth, but Qin Jian paid no heed. He simply walked step by step to the opposite side of the five people and stood still.

"Alright! It is said that Qin Jian, the captain of the Tianshui team who is not yet level 30, is already standing in front of everyone."

The guest commentator started talking again, and his words had gone completely off-topic: "Judging from this student's standing posture, he doesn't seem like a level 28 Great Soul Master, but rather a level 38 Soul Venerable. Perhaps that's why he was able to become the captain of a girls' academy team..."

Laughter filled the air both on and off the stage.

Yan Zhi Ning slammed her fist into the railing: "Shenfeng Academy, you've gone too far!"

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu both had angry expressions on their faces.

But Qin Jian on the stage showed no change in expression. He knew that the other party wanted to provoke him in this way. If he could make him perform poorly, that would be the best outcome.

Therefore, it is important to stay calm at this time, because the most important thing is to win in the end!

"Can we begin?"

When the chaotic noise subsided a bit, and the high-ranking member of Shenfeng was about to say something more, Qin Jian looked over with a blank expression, forcing him to swallow back the words he was about to utter.

"It seems that Qin Jian from Tianshui Academy can't wait any longer. Then please welcome our first student from Shenfeng Academy to enter. The rest of you, please wait in the next room."

Soon, only one student from Shenfeng Academy remained on the battle stage to face Qin Jian.

"Now that both students are ready, let the battle begin!"

Before the high-ranking official finished speaking, the Shenfeng student opposite him had his entire body surge with emerald green soul power, and his martial soul light began to appear.

"Feng Li, a level 32 agility-based Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

But just as he finished activating his martial spirit, he saw Qin Jian stomp his foot on the ground and rush over without even activating his martial spirit.

Feng Li, who had been initially told to rely on his speed to maneuver, was startled, but quickly beamed with joy: "They didn't even activate their Martial Soul? That's courting death! Looks like the credit for restoring the academy's honor is mine!"

At that moment, the voice of the guest commentator echoed throughout the arena: "Our student Qin Jian's actions are very puzzling. Is he trying to use his speed to unexpectedly knock his opponent off the field?"

On the battle stage, Feng Li did not follow the instructions to use his agility to fight Qin Jian, but instead went straight to meet the attack.

He believed that dealing with Qin Jian, who hadn't activated his Martial Soul and whose Soul Power was below level 30, wouldn't require any special tactics...

"Hmph, first soul skill, stun me for one second!"

A flash of pink sword energy appeared in Qin Jian's eyes, but Feng Li, whose eyes met his, froze instantly.

"Bang!"

Without saying a word, Qin Jian kicked the other man in the chest!

"puff…"

Feng Li flew backwards without uttering a sound and landed straight off the stage.

"Alright, I've finished instructing you. Now, next one."

It wasn't until Qin Jian stood there with his arms crossed, seemingly indifferent, that everyone realized what was happening.

"What just happened? How did Feng Li lose so suddenly?"

"I don't know, I didn't understand..."

"..."

There was a lot of discussion around the stands.
