Chapter 36: Charming the Ice Phoenix

Just when everyone thought Ning Rongrong had obtained the qualification so simply, Qin Jian suddenly walked out.

"Education Committee Member, Rongrong does not need a directly designated qualification; I will help her obtain her qualification," Qin Jian said.

Everyone focused their gaze on him.

Meng Shenji frowned and said, "Everyone only has one chance. If you help her obtain the qualification, then your own chance to hunt a Soul Beast will be lost."

"It doesn't matter..."

To everyone's surprise, Qin Jian shook his head and said, "I came this time just to help Rongrong obtain a Soul Ring. As long as the Education Committee Member allows me to go in and help hunt the Soul Beast at the end, that is fine; I give up my own spot."

Once these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar.

"He's giving up his own spot? Doesn't he know how rare this kind of opportunity is?"

"That's right, and the qualification for the Level 2 Area is actually quite good. Could his goal be Level 1? That is, to force a draw with the Level 9 giant dragon?"

"He is really good to that Ning Rongrong!"

"..."

Not mentioning the thoughts of the male students, many female students had looks of admiration in their eyes.

Whether it was Shui Bing'er or Dugu Yan, even Huo Wu cast her full attention toward Qin Jian.

After all, almost no one would give up their own opportunity for someone else; this kind of emotion and sacrifice moved many people, especially women...

"Are you sure?" Meng Shenji asked solemnly.

Qin Jian nodded slightly.

But Meng Shenji was still uneasy and looked toward Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo. Only after both of them nodded did he say, "Then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's qualification shall be participated in by Qin Jian on behalf of Ning Rongrong."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian lifted his foot and walked toward the entrance.

But his hand was grabbed by Ning Rongrong: "Brother Jian, you must come out safely."

Originally, she had wanted Qin Jian to win over everyone, but after seeing the difficulty of Level 9, she only wanted Qin Jian to come out safe and sound.

"Rongrong is right..."

Ning Fengzhi also walked up, gently patted Qin Jian's shoulder, and said, "Don't push yourself too hard; it's fine if Rongrong's Soul Ring is slightly inferior."

Qin Jian smiled, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

He just walked in step by step...

Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong did not understand; he had to give Ning Rongrong the best.

This was not only because of love, but also his own redemption...

"Hum!"

With a soft ripple of water, when Qin Jian opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dense forest.

Having watched the challenge process of the previous few people, he naturally did not panic in the slightest. After waiting for a short while, rustling sounds began to appear in the forest before him.

"Swish!"

A Mandala Snake suddenly shot out from the forest, biting straight toward Qin Jian!

But before the people outside could gasp at the speed of this Soul Beast, Qin Jian calmly said, "My Body as a Sword," and a purple Sword descended from the sky, accurately piercing the body of the Mandala Snake.

Level 1, passed.

Subsequently, what appeared at Level 2 was a Magic Spider, which was directly split in two by a streak of Qin Jian's Sword Qi.

Level 3 was a Heavy Armored Giant Insect with a hard shell, which forced Qin Jian to slash... 3 times!

Level 4 was a Spider again, only this time it was a Man-faced Demon Spider, finished off with 5 streaks of Sword Qi.

Level 5 was a Swift Wind Demon Wolf; although its speed was extremely fast, it was still cut into pieces by 9 streaks of Sword Qi, which made Feng Xiaotian outside twitch his face, because his martial soul was the Swift Wind Demon Wolf...

Level 6 was a Diamond Mammoth...

Huyan Li's expression changed, and he said viciously, "The Diamond Mammoth's defense is incomparably strong; he definitely won't be able to win! Definitely!"

As a result, eighteen streaks of Sword Qi successfully dismembered it...

Huyan Li was stunned...

Level 7, Ice Phoenix...

Qin Jian suspected that this Mimicry Cultivation Ground was deliberately looking for trouble.

Every Soul Beast was similar to someone else's martial soul...

So this time, he did not start slashing wildly with Sword Qi without a word, but instead... used his First Soul Skill, Charm Sword.

Under this Charm Sword, the Ice Phoenix froze for an instant, and was then pierced through the chest by Qin Jian holding his Sword, killing it in one strike.

The outside was in an uproar.

"His Soul Ring seemed to light up just now; what kind of soul skill is that?"

"The Ice Phoenix stiffened for a moment; this soul skill would be particularly practical in close combat."

"And did you notice? His martial soul's attack power is too strong; facing a Level 7 difficulty Soul Beast, he could actually pierce its defense in one strike."

"..."

In the corner, Shui Bing'er's gaze was slightly strange: "In that moment just now, that Ice Phoenix didn't just stiffen; it was more like... um... it was Charmed... How could his First Soul Skill be..."

Not mentioning what she was thinking to herself, Jian Douluo looked at the screen with a hint of pleasant surprise.

As a teacher, he naturally knew what Qin Jian's First Soul Skill was. He had originally worried that this Charm would be ineffective against Soul Beasts, but he hadn't expected it to have an effect on them as well.

Thinking of how he had once influenced all living beings on the entire Dalu in a single night, Jian Douluo felt relieved...

"Brother Jian is so amazing!"

Ning Rongrong clapped her small hands and said loudly, "Go, Brother Jian!"

Even if it drew countless people to look over, she didn't care anymore.

Qin Jian had given up his own opportunity to fight for a spot for her; how could she have any more reserve? She wished she could let everyone know about their relationship...

At this moment, the 8th one appeared, much trickier than the previous ones, because it was a Ghost Vine.

Attached within the forest, it was fundamentally difficult to detect where its true body was.

Therefore, Qin Jian could not use the Charm Sword, and his Sword Qi could only help him remain undefeated.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The Ghost Vine's attacks flew in from every angle, forcing Qin Jian into a flustered state and putting him in constant peril.

Uninterrupted defense naturally could not remain airtight forever; very quickly, Qin Jian's ankle was quietly hooked by a vine, and then it suddenly exerted force, hoisting him into the air.

"Ah!"

Many people outside exclaimed in alarm, and Ning Rongrong was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

In that brief instant, Qin Jian's four limbs were all bound up by the Ghost Vine, and rustling sounds echoed throughout the forest.

Soon, a two or three-meter-tall giant maw of the Ghost Vine appeared above Qin Jian...

Just when everyone thought Qin Jian would stop at the 8th level, he suddenly smiled.

"My Body as a Sword!"

With a cold shout, his martial soul, the Qing Sword, was released from his body once again, and accompanied by streaks of Sword Qi, it actually shredded all the vines binding him in an instant.

The next moment, holding his Sword, he suddenly thrust toward the Ghost Vine's true body above.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

Sword Qi surged, and the Ghost Vine was directly hacked to pieces.

The 8th level, passed.

The crowd outside was also silent for a moment, before they understood what had happened.

"What brilliant combat thinking; he couldn't confirm where the Ghost Vine's true body was, so he intentionally let himself be bound to lure the Ghost Vine into appearing."

"Indeed, he was actually able to remain calm in such an urgent situation; he is truly impressive."

"..."
