Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 140 Tianshui Selection
It was late at night and everyone was asleep. In the light of the lamp, two figures swayed above the window.

"Traveler, you've become stronger again~"

Paimon munched on a big bun and spoke vaguely.

The two of them had already rested, but Paimeng would definitely not be able to sleep if he was hungry, so he simply took out a few big buns that were in the pot to eat.

"Yeah, it has become a lot stronger."

The person sitting opposite had a ball of purple lightning condensed in his hands, with arcs of light flashing through it from time to time.

This is the power of thunder awakened in the stone statue of Thor on the continent of Teyvat. As the only person who can use elemental power without the Eye of God, Kong seems to have a natural compatibility with any kind of elemental power.

To outsiders, this may seem magical, but controlling all elemental forces is only one of the many means used by him and his sister.

But compared to the Seven Gods, they are representatives of a single elemental force, and their power can be traced back to the ancient elemental dragons.

Therefore, only in a single elemental field can they possess pure elemental power.

It represents an extreme, the ultimate use of elemental power, and they are infinitely close to the elements themselves.

Of course, some of the gods are excluded.

For example, the now known wind god Barbatos, his true form is the wind element.

Even though he looks drunk from the time they met until now, if a real fight breaks out, no god in Teyvat can be his match in terms of elemental power.

Now that the seal on power has been gradually lifted, Kong can feel himself becoming more in tune with the power of the elements.

"Then how strong do you have to become so we can go back to find your sister?"

Paimon touched her belly, she knew what the traveler's ultimate goal was.

"Hmm~ Probably this strong."

Kong stretched out his arms in a hugging gesture.

"...Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore, eat and sleep~"

Paimon glanced at Sora with disdain, grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then flew directly to the bed and lay down with his back to Sora.

If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. You are so strong... God knows how strong you are!
"Haha~"

Sora chuckled, turned off the lights, and climbed onto the bed to lie down.

It was a very happy thing to tease Paimon, at least that's what he thought.

"What? You want to sleep alone tonight?"

Kong poked Paimon's back, which was facing him. Didn't he usually snuggle into his arms when he got into bed?
Are you angry again?

"..."

Seeing that Paimon ignored him, Kong simply lay down with his arms open, closed his eyes, and murmured something.

"No matter when or where we go, we are always together."

After an unknown amount of time, he vaguely felt something pressing on his chest. As if by habit, Sora rolled up his arms, hugged someone in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

…………

In Tianshui College, more than half a month has passed since the last vacation. During this period, the college also organized a fighting spirit competition among students.

At this time, hundreds of students gathered in the square, and all the instructors took their seats on the podium.

"quiet!"

A high-pitched voice came from the podium, and all the students in the audience stood still and fell silent.

Dean of Academic Affairs Wang Wan stood up and scanned the room. Seeing nothing unusual, she turned around and bowed slightly to Shui Xinrou beside her.

Shui Xinrou nodded, and Wang Wan immediately looked at the crowd of students in the arena and spoke loudly:
"Classmates, I believe you should all be aware that the five-yearly Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition will begin in three months. As one of the five elemental academies, our Tianshui Academy naturally has to actively participate." "And before that, our academy has already selected the seed players through mentor assessments and selection among students to train them for teamwork.

But this doesn't mean that other students have no chance. Before the fighting spirit competition that ended yesterday, I had already said that if a dark horse appears, the students we send to participate can be replaced at any time.

The main purpose today is to announce to everyone the team members who will represent our academy in this Soul Master Competition.

This is a symbol of great honor for soul masters, and it is also a big stage for students to show themselves in front of the world.

Therefore, the team members we selected this time not only represent ourselves, but also represent our Tianshui College! You are the hope of the college, you are..."

Wang Wan spoke incessantly at the podium, becoming more and more excited.

The students in the audience stared at her cautiously while whispering to their companions around them.

"Oh my! It's always like this. Education Commissioner Wang keeps going on and on. It takes at least half an hour..."

"That's right, you'll get used to it."

"Hey, do you think there might be any changes to the team members this time?"

"Unlikely. Despite what the instructor said, the candidate was basically decided long before the first seeding."

"I don't think so. I was among the top in the previous fighting spirit competition. I think I'm terrifyingly strong now..."

"Tsk, you just luckily defeated Gu Qingbo from the seed team, but the others still beat you~"

"...Isn't it enough to just beat one? Anyway, I feel like I can do it this time. I can do it!"

"You should take a break. You weren't chosen before, which means you don't have enough talent. What's the matter? After all this time, you're the only one practicing while everyone else is just playing around?"

"Exactly. You know, you're not the only student who's beaten other seeded players~"

After a student in the field finished speaking, he pursed his lips and pointed his gaze at the two figures standing in the front row.

Everyone looked over and fell silent after seeing the two figures.

"Right? Do you think they can do it or you can do it?"

The student looked funny at the student who had just said that he could do it.

"Humph! Who wants to compete with them? Zhu Zhuqing is okay, at least she looks relatively normal. As for Yu Keke... I'll eat her up as a poet!"

The student who had just been bragging said this angrily.

Facing the two transfer students, she lowered her proud head.

"See~ You don't even dare to compare yourself, yet you still want to join the team. What the hell are you dreaming of..."

"Hey~ you little slut, if I can't beat them, can I beat you?"

"Hey? Think before you act, my boss is Master Fire Meowth!"

"Don't flatter yourself. Will the Lord be interested in you? I'll beat you up!"

"..."

The students in various areas of the field gradually began to chatter, which caused the originally relatively quiet field to suddenly become noisy.

"quiet!"

After Wang Wan finished her speech, she still felt a little unsatisfied. When she came to her senses, she found that the place was almost in chaos, so she shouted angrily.

"..."

The director of the Education Committee's move naturally shocked all the students in the audience. They all pretended to be good kids, as if they were not the ones speaking just now.
