Chapter 70: Complete Group Dance Version

Just like that, mornings were spent practicing dance, afternoons teaching Shui Bing'er, and occasionally accompanying Shui Bing'er to class.

Time flew by, and Qin Jian gradually integrated into this academy and into the Tianshui Team.

"Captain, we've already finished learning this dance you call 'Timo', what team training should we do next?"

Inside the Mimicry Cultivation Ground, Qiu Ruoshui asked curiously, "We aren't going to keep learning new dances, are we?"

Qin Jian smiled and said to the seven pairs of sparkling eyes, "Do you still want to learn other group dances?"

The girls exchanged glances and then nodded in unison.

Dancing together really helped build rapport, and the dances Qin Jian taught were inherently beautiful, so they all liked them very much.

But Qin Jian shook his head and laughed, "We are an academy team after all, we can't really prepare for a girl group debut... I'll teach new dances to Bing'er in the future, and you can find time to learn them yourselves. Next, after we finish this final group dance training, it'll be time to conduct combat coordination drills at the Soul Fighting Arena..."

Yan Zhining, who was observing them from the side, nodded. She had originally been worried that Qin Jian intended to keep going like this, but fortunately, his train of thought was very clear, so there was no need to worry at all.

"Captain, what is the final group dance training?" Shui Bing'er stepped forward to ask.

After one or two months of training, Shui Bing'er could already express herself very generously and confidently within the team, and could even point out the mistakes of others.

Her growth was the greatest, and Qin Jian could gradually see the demeanor of the future Tianshui Team captain in her.

Although when the two were alone teaching dance, Shui Bing'er was still a very submissive type, and he didn't know if it was because Qin Jian's aggressiveness was too strong...

He was already at level 25 now!

"Since you've worked so hard to practice this dance to such a good level, you have to give it a final form..."

Qin Jian smiled and took out a Sound Recording Magic Guide Device: "This is the accompaniment I recorded using piano and guitar. Next, I will tell you the rhythm for each movement, and we will present this dance in its entirety..."

The seven girls' eyes lit up. Having worked so hard to practice the dance so well, how could they not want to perform it completely with the accompaniment?

Qin Jian turned on the Sound Recording Magic Guide Device, and that distant, familiar accompaniment slowly began to play; his gaze also drifted slightly...

Until the accompaniment finished playing, he gave no instructions, simply immersed in distant memories...

"Wow! This accompaniment sounds so good!" Shui Yue'er suddenly clapped her hands and said.

Immediately, the others nodded rapidly, even Yan Zhining included.

They were even more looking forward to the combination of the dance and the accompaniment.

And Qin Jian was pulled back to reality by Shui Yue'er's voice. He shook his head, buried those memories that were almost about to vanish, and then began to tell everyone the rhythm and their respective solo parts.

They were not just doing a complete group dance; during it, there would be moments for each person to shine, and stages where the others needed to coordinate.

Especially Shui Bing'er; she was treated by Qin Jian as the core spirit of the dance, standing at the very front for the most time, while the others mostly coordinated around her.

"Bing'er, your movements have become stiff. Be more confident, you dance very well."

"Bing'er, don't look back at the others when you are leading the dance alone. You must trust your teammates."

"Bing'er, when you return to the group after finishing your solo, pay attention to the overall formation. What you just presented was too messy..."

"......"

Thus, the entire morning was spent almost entirely on Qin Jian's corrections for Shui Bing'er.

With the previous practice, the accompaniment rehearsal was not difficult, and by the time the team training session was about to end, they had already practiced it quite well.

As the music started, the seven girls danced gracefully.

Qin Jian sat leisurely on the ice surface in front, his elbows resting on his knees and his palms supporting his head, his fingers tapping along with the accompaniment.

The girls' moving dance postures, and every cute or alluring expression, all seemed so beautiful.

Especially Shui Bing'er, who was gradually becoming liberated; her confident and generous self possessed an innate charm that made people's gazes focus on her involuntarily.

Qin Jian's gaze also followed her closely; a single glance or a smile could give Shui Bing'er the greatest encouragement.

Thanks to this world of Spirit Masters, thanks to these elven-like girls; they perfectly presented that beauty from Qin Jian's memories.

"In the future, find an opportunity to let them debut at the Soul Fighting Arena. This dance music plus their looks is at least equivalent to a group intelligence-debuffing skill, with the effect of a 30% reduction in all attributes..."

Qin Jian thought messily, and until the accompaniment ended, he was still immersed in it...

"Eh? Captain, what are you thinking about?" Shui Bing'er stepped forward to ask.

After dancing through the piece, they didn't have a drop of sweat; as expected of the physique of Spirit Masters, all kinds of postures were handled with ease, without any effort.

"The Captain must have been charmed by our Bing'er, hee hee!" Qiu Ruoshui giggled and leaned in.

"Don't... don't talk nonsense..." Shui Bing'er blushed a little.

Xue Wu hugged her from behind and chuckled, "Bing'er, you've been having more and more of a 'big sister' vibe lately, but as soon as it involves the Captain, you turn back into your old self."

"I do not?!"

Shui Bing'er turned around, poked Xue Wu's forehead with a finger, and pushed her back.

"Look, Bing'er is as casual as can be with us now."

Xue Wu hugged Shui Yue'er's shoulders again and said, "Yue'er, your sister has already started treating people differently."

Shui Yue'er turned back to hug Xue Wu's waist and laughed coquettishly, "Who told sister she wants to be the Captain's wife? Of course she'll treat people differently!"

As someone who always spoke without thinking, her words were indeed highly lethal.

"Yue'er!"

Shui Bing'er stomped her feet in shame and annoyance: "Your training tasks will be doubled next time!"

"Ah! Don't!"

Shui Yue'er wailed and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Sister, you can't treat me like this!"

"Hmph!"

Shui Bing'er crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly.

Yan Zhining watched this scene with gratification; this was the scene she most wanted to see—a Shui Bing'er who had truly become confident.

"Stinky sister, you aren't the Captain anyway, hmph hmph, I'm going to find the Captain!"

Shui Yue'er trotted to Qin Jian's side with a fawning look: "Captain, Captain, sister is bullying me, you have to stand up for me!"

Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, and the others shook their heads simultaneously: "Yue'er still hasn't recognized reality; what a naive child..."

Sure enough, the next moment Qin Jian raised his head, looked at Shui Yue'er with a smile, and then said, "Yue'er, your sister's words are my words; be a good girl and double your efforts tomorrow."

"Ah..."

Shui Yue'er wailed again: "How could you all treat me like this..."

"Hahaha..."

But the others all laughed together; the girls' crisp laughter made Qin Jian feel at ease, and the slight melancholy memories from before all vanished without a trace...
