Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 98 Shameless Commentary

On the high platform, the high-ranking member of the Shenfeng Academy who was acting as a guest commentator looked rather grim.

"Unexpectedly, Qin Jian used his first soul skill without activating his martial soul. It seems the soul skill's effect is to stun, which is rather insidious. I hope the next students will be careful."

His words made everyone realize something, and Yan Zhi Ning and the others' expressions changed.

Because he actually used his high-level insight to reveal the effects of Qin Jian's soul skill, Qin Jian's first soul skill became an open secret to the other four people.

"That's shameless!"

Huo Wu slapped the railing.

"Kamikaze Academy can't accept defeat..."

The teachers at Blazing Fire Academy pondered, "Perhaps Feng Xiaotian's defeat shocked them so much that they sent someone like him to preside over the Soul Battle."

"The second battle of spirits begins!"

At this moment, the second member of the Divine Wind Academy had already arrived on the battle stage.

"Feng Yueling, a level 33 agility-attack type Battle Soul Master, please...please give me your guidance."

When the female student activated her martial soul, she kept a close eye on Qin Jian's every move, seemingly worried that she would also be kicked down.

"Another agility-based attacker? It seems the first two were specifically designed to drain my soul power."

Qin Jian did not use the same trick again, because the opponent would most likely use his speed to dodge and would not foolishly rush forward like the previous person, so the stun time would not be enough.

"Qin Jian, Level 28 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master, please give me your guidance."

After thinking about it, he decided to activate his martial spirit as well.

As expected, the purple light of the second spirit ring blinded everyone.

The female student opposite looked even more uneasy. Perhaps she was frightened by Qin Jian's kick earlier. Despite having five levels higher soul power, she didn't dare to attack at all.

"If you're not coming, then I'm coming..."

Qin Jian didn't waste any time with her. With a flash of his martial spirit sword, he charged forward.

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Fox Possession!"

As a result, the opponent was so frightened that they immediately used their third soul skill.

"Our student Feng Yueling, aiming for a safer approach, directly unleashed her third soul skill, significantly boosting her speed and defense for 10 minutes. How will the opposing student Qin Jian respond? Should he continue using stun skills or unleash his second soul skill?"

His reminder made Feng Yueling, who was originally planning to fight back, pause and immediately dodge to the other side.

Qin Jian simultaneously turned and chased after them…

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The battle arena was bustling with people, but no clashes occurred for a full three minutes.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Jian stopped his pursuit and landed in the center of the battle platform.

"Fine, you're definitely faster than me. I'm not playing anymore. Do as you please."

Qin Jian crossed his arms, and his casual remark made Feng Yueling, who was still trying to change direction, feel somewhat embarrassed.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the battle platform.

At this moment, the incompetent commentator rang out again: "Feng Yueling's third soul skill only lasts for 10 minutes. Qin Jian is clearly trying to stall until the skill's duration ends. Will Feng Yueling let him succeed?"

This explanation, so biased it was impossible to tell where it went, almost made Yan Zhi Ning so angry she almost twisted her nose.

Upon being reminded, Feng Yueling on the battle platform immediately realized what was happening.

"Second Soul Skill, Wind Dance Strangulation!"

At this moment, she used her second soul skill, transforming into a verdant wind shadow and attacking Qin Jian.

"Ding ding ding..."

Qin Jian stood still, wielding his martial spirit sword to block the opponent's rapid and fierce attacks one by one.

This clash, with its disparity in soul power, inevitably began to deplete his soul power.

"Alright, Feng Yueling's attacks have forced Qin Jian to keep defending, and his soul power is being continuously depleted." The commentator began to speak again.

"What a pity. If it were a male student, then Kamikaze Academy might have truly achieved its goal. Unfortunately, this one is a female student..."

Qin Jian followed Feng Yueling's gaze closely, and when their eyes met, he unleashed his first soul skill.

"Sorry, you can go now..."

The three-second stun effect left Feng Yueling, who was too close to Qin Jian, with no chance to react. Qin Jian blocked her attack and then sent her off the stage with a few more blows...

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, and the students from Kamikaze Academy didn't know how to cheer them on.

In just over ten minutes, two of their students had already been defeated, and they hadn't even managed to deplete much of Qin Jian's soul power.

"Uh... the second battle of spirits has ended, and student Qin Jian has won."

The commentator casually remarked, then continued, "The third student to enter the arena is no longer an agility-based student, but a power-based student. Let's wait and see what kind of battle he will bring."

As a result, the spirits of the students from the Kamikaze Academy, who had been feeling down, were lifted again.

This time, the student who took the stage was a male, and he had a very burly appearance.

"Qin Jian, your arrogance ends here!"

He stomped hard on the battle platform, and three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—lit up beneath his feet: "Feng Ji, Level 35 Power Attack Type Battle Spirit Master, Martial Spirit: Wind Scale Beast!"

"Feng Ji is a student we are all familiar with. As one of the top three offensive students in our Kamikaze team, he is best at bursting attack power. However, Qin Jian has not yet shown the attack power of an offensive student."

The commentator continued: "So, what kind of battle will we see in this one? I declare... the battle of spirits begins!"

"First Soul Skill: Wind Scale Protection!"

Click click click!

A series of emerald green scales suddenly unfolded from Feng Ji's body, protecting him completely.

"Take this punch!"

He was completely different from the previous two agility-type soul masters; he immediately unleashed a massive power attack without any fancy moves.

"Sword Qi!"

Qin Jian drew his sword finger, and purple sword energy roared out.

"Crack...bang!"

However, when his sword energy came into contact with the opponent's fist covered in scales, it failed to stop him and was instead shattered by the punch, drawing cheers from the audience.

"You think I'm still the agility-based Soul Master they were before? Hmph!"

With a heavy stomp of his foot, the wind rushed in even faster.

In an instant, Qin Jian's martial spirit appeared in his hand, and he thrust his longsword straight forward.

"laugh!"

With a sharp clang, Feng Ji frowned and took a few steps back, rubbing his fist. He said, "The Martial Soul Sword is indeed sharp."

But Qin Jian retreated even further under his attacks, making the atmosphere in the audience even more heated.

Only Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu remained calm, showing no concern for this temporary setback.

"Whoosh!"

Qin Jian casually brandished his longsword, propelling himself upwards once more. His second soul ring lit up beneath his feet: "Second Soul Skill, Sword of the Beginning."

The rise and fall of all attributes instantly reversed the balance of power between the two, and Qin Jian, who was originally at a disadvantage in the head-on collision, quickly gained the upper hand.

"As expected of a thousand-year soul ring, its effect is astonishing. We can clearly see that Feng Ji's overall attributes have been reduced, while Qin Jian's have been increased. How does Feng Ji plan to respond? Should he continue to increase his attack power?"

The commentator started giving hints again...
