Chapter 64: Can You Have a Little... Shame?

"Why are you sitting on the floor?"

When Qin Jian walked out of the restroom, he saw Shui Bing'er sitting behind the door, covering her face.

"I'm... I'm fine..."

Shui Bing'er hurriedly stood up, not even daring to glance at Qin Jian, and rushed into the restroom, saying in a muffled voice, "I'm going to wash up too..."

Qin Jian scratched his head, feeling a bit puzzled: "I don't think I did anything... Why is her face so red?"

"And also... my soul power just increased to Level 20."

Qin Jian was speechless: "Who gave me that assist?"

He had no idea it was the unconscious encouragement of the other six members of the team.

Often, when the parties involved clearly hadn't thought of anything, if they were constantly teased by others, they couldn't help but think that way, and in the end, thinking and thinking... it felt as if it were really happening...

The night passed without incident.

Qin Jian didn't go to tease Shui Bing'er again; he felt he had done enough for one day, and any more would cause this timid and insecure girl to explode...

The next morning.

When Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er walked downstairs together, they saw six pairs of bright, sparkling eyes staring at them.

Unfortunately, Qin Jian's expression was as usual, and Shui Bing'er also had her habitual look of walking with her head down, hmm...

Her walking posture showed no discomfort at all.

Seeing nothing unusual, the group simultaneously revealed looks of disappointment.

"Everyone is up very early today, no need for me, your Instructor, to knock on your doors one by one?"

Yan Zhining's figure appeared at the doorway right on time. She swept her gaze over the eight of them and waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, eat breakfast first, then head to the Mimicry Cultivation Ground."

When the group arrived at the entrance of the Mimicry Cultivation Ground, they found seven or eight female teachers waiting there.

Except for Xiao Jing, who looked younger, the others all appeared to be middle-aged or elderly.

"These are the high-level members of our Tianshui Academy, every one of them is at least a Soul King level..."

Yan Zhining introduced: "Today, for the sparring between Qin Jian, Yu Hairou, and Xue Wu, these high-level members will also be watching the entire match."

Shui Bing'er and the others were slightly startled, then all looked at Qin Jian.

Because the arrival of these high-level members was clearly because they were uneasy about Qin Jian, which was why they came to take a look.

Then his performance today would be very important; once he failed, he might be stripped of his qualifications and kicked out of the Tianshui Team.

"You all go in, I will watch from the outside with them."

Yan Zhining waved her hand to let Qin Jian, Shui Bing'er, and the others go in, then activated a light screen to project the situation inside.

"Yan Zhining, if Qin Jian loses this battle, then I suggest stripping him of his Tianshui Academy student status," Xiao Jing suddenly said.

Yan Zhining glanced at her and snorted coldly: "I said yesterday, even if he is not allowed to be the Captain of the Tianshui Team, his student status cannot be revoked. After all, standing behind him is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and his teacher is a Peak Douluo!"

Hearing this, the other high-level teachers nodded repeatedly, clearly in strong agreement.

"Then just expel him from the Tianshui Team."

Seeing that no one agreed with her, Xiao Jing took a step back and said: "A captain who cannot command respect is better off not having one."

"Rest assured, I believe he will have no problem," Yan Zhining said very easily.

She had seen with her own eyes Qin Jian at Level 20 soul power slay a Soul Beast with the strength of Level 30, so even with Yu Hairou and Xue Wu, two Level 28s, joining forces, she wasn't too worried.

Xiao Jing glanced at her, crossed her arms, and said: "I know where your confidence comes from, isn't it just defeating a Soul Beast equivalent to Level 30 by jumping levels? Hmph, that is far from comparable to the combination of Yu Hairou and Xue Wu."

Many teachers nodded slightly at this moment: "Indeed, Yu Hairou is an Assault System, and Xue Wu is a Support System. With the two of them united, they can even fight a Level 35 Spirit Master."

Yan Zhining didn't say anything more, only saying: "Then let's watch..."

At that time, the Level 20 Qin Jian didn't even have a Second Soul Ring. Since these people didn't witness it with their own eyes, how could they know what kind of immense potential Qin Jian truly possessed...

The corners of Yan Zhining's mouth curled up, full of confidence.

Inside the Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

Snow filled the sky, an icy world.

This was actually a simulated scene of frozen mountains and rivers.

"Qin Jian, in this kind of Mimicry Cultivation Ground, the strength of us Spirit Masters with Water-type Martial Souls will increase by a few points..."

Shui Bing'er looked at him with some worry and said: "Are you really going to fight Hairou and Xue Wu alone?"

Qin Jian smiled and said: "Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Now that the high-level members are watching, it's impossible for me to back down even if I wanted to."

"Back down? Then I would look down on you," Yu Hairou suddenly said.

Xue Wu also showed a look of disdain: "Exactly, no one likes a timid man."

"Hairou, Xue Wu, you two are two against one, can you have a little... uh..."

Shui Bing'er couldn't help but want to say a word for Qin Jian, but she still couldn't get it out.

But the killing power of her half-spoken sentence was already great enough. Xue Wu glared: "Hey, hey, hey! Bing'er! After sleeping with a man for a night, you can even scold me now!"

"Qin Jian! Stop talking nonsense! Come over and fight!" she said angrily.

Yu Hairou stood still on the ice with her, facing the casual-looking Qin Jian.

The others stepped back.

The high-level members outside also perked up.

"Please show your martial souls." Shui Bing'er acted as the temporary referee.

"Yu Hairou, Level 28 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, martial soul, Coral Barracuda!"

"Xue Wu, Level 29 Support System Battle Soul Master, martial soul, Delicate Dance Snow Satin!"

The two stood one in front and one behind, and two bright Yellow soul rings rose from under their feet simultaneously.

Everyone then looked at Qin Jian.

He smiled slightly: "Qin Jian, Level 23 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master, martial soul, Qing Sword."

Hum!

A bright Yellow Soul Ring lit up, which did not exceed the expectations of the others.

Hum!

Another Soul Ring followed closely behind, and everyone's gaze froze.

Because that was a Purple Soul Ring!

"The second Soul Ring is actually a thousand-year Soul Ring?!"

Several people exclaimed: "How could he possibly withstand the power of a thousand-year Soul Beast's Soul Ring?!"

It was not just them; even the higher-ups in the outside world were shocked.

"A second Soul Ring that is already a thousand-year Soul Ring, I have never seen this before..."

A white-haired teacher sighed with emotion: "Xiao Yan has a truly excellent eye."

Xiao Jing frowned and said: "Perhaps it is just a Soul Ring that barely reached a thousand years; it wouldn't be much higher than those of Xue Wu and Yu Hairou!"

The others stopped talking.

Even Yan Zhining was too lazy to refute, because a thousand-year Soul Ring and a hundred-year Soul Ring are on completely different levels, and the soul skills born from them will also have a huge gap.

"A thousand-year Soul Ring..."

Yu Hairou and Xue Wu exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming solemn.

Regardless of anything else, in terms of talent alone, the youth before them had indeed suppressed them.

"The battle begins!"

Before Shui Bing'er's voice had even faded, she saw Yu Hairou dart out like a barracuda, while at the same time, her First Soul Skill lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Snow Shuttle Thrust!"

At the same time, Xue Wu's figure spun, and a halo of light landed on Yu Hairou: "First Soul Skill, Shadow Dance Light!"
