Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 19 Listen to the truth and talk about physics

"Huh? A lot of masters? Traveler, can you defeat them all?"

Paimon heard this and turned to look at Sora with some concern and asked.

She is only responsible for explaining the principles, and she still has a bearish opinion on physics.

"What gave you the illusion that I'm incapable... Remember that old man we met when we first arrived?"

Kong looked at Paimon's suspicious eyes with a complicated expression.

Even if the seal on me is not lifted, my current strength is more than enough to survive on this continent.

"Old man? The one in rags with the sledgehammer?"

"Correct."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He can beat everyone here except me."

"Hehe, that's okay." Paimeng felt relieved when he heard that.

The old man can beat everyone here, and the traveler can beat the old man. Doesn’t that mean the traveler can beat everyone?
Well, this wave is stable!

"Paimon, what old man are you talking about?"

Xue Qinghe was very curious when he heard Kong say that an old man with a sledgehammer could beat everyone here.

In his impression, it seems that only the Haotian Sect, which ranks first among the top three sects, can have a martial soul that is a hammer, but haven’t they closed the sect?

No, there's another one who's been on the run from the Spirit Hall...

Could it be that the person they met was him?

"It's the old man we met before we came here. He can summon a huge giant and a sledgehammer. It looks scary."

Paimon gestured with her hands to show what she saw.

"Are you talking about the spirit's true form?"

Xue Qinghe once again confirmed his guess.

Based on Paimeng's description, he was basically certain that the old man she was talking about was Tang Hao, also known as Haotian Douluo.

"Martial Soul Avatar? I don't know. The name sounds very powerful... but it was shattered by the Traveler's sword."

Paimeng had no idea what a martial soul's true form was. He only knew that the old man didn't last a single round against the Traveler.

"...!"

Defeated Haotian Douluo with one move and destroyed his spirit's true form?

Xue Qinghe's heart was already surging like a raging storm when he heard this.

Although the Spirit Hall and Haotian Douluo are in a hostile relationship, his strength is recognized as one of the strongest combat forces in the entire continent.

However, such a person couldn't even take a single move from the young man in front of him?
It seems that my guess was right. Kong had not cultivated his soul power but his strength was unfathomable. And there was this magical Paimeng who looked harmless but could fly freely.
They are actually gods from outer space!

…………

"Without further ado, let's welcome our grand finale!"

The auctioneer's loud voice brought Xue Qinghe back to reality. He suddenly felt that what Paimeng had just said about taking people away from the auction house was really too easy for them.

As the auctioneer's voice fell, several scantily clad maids pushed a canvas-covered box onto the stage.

"I'm sure everyone is very curious about what this grand finale is. Ahem, I'll reveal it to you personally now!"

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused here, the auctioneer walked to the side of the box and made a gesture of invitation. The maid beside him immediately understood and reached out to put her hand on the canvas and slowly lifted it up.

"She's actually a fox girl?"

"Hiss~ This is too beautiful, right? I really want this..."

Compared to the exclamations of the crowd, the nobles sitting in the various private rooms looked as if they understood everything. However, when they looked at the fox girl in the transparent box in the field, they all revealed obscene and greedy expressions.

This is because the auction house has already marked the contents of the auction on the auction invitation sent to them.

This was a publicity tactic used by the auction house, designed to attract these wealthy and powerful nobles, allowing them to see the merchandise in advance, prepare themselves, and be ready to pay generous sums of gold and soul coins for their desired items. The fox girl at this auction attracted countless nobles; money was just a number to them, and a plaything like a fox girl was rare.

"Okay, the auction officially begins. The starting price is 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 Gold Soul Coins."

The auctioneer came to the table on the stage, picked up the hammer, and was ready to drop it at any time.

"Coco! It's Coco!"

In the private room, Paimon saw the familiar figure the moment the canvas was lifted.

Although her clothes and appearance had changed, and she even had a tail growing behind her, Paimon still confirmed through her little face that the fox girl being auctioned off the stage was Yu Keke, whom they wanted to save.

At this time, Yu Keke, with a dead heart, sat in the box with her legs curled up, like a walking corpse. Ever since she was caught, she knew her future fate. Her eyes were red, swollen and full of hatred, and she had cried countless times.

At first she tried to resist, but was met with constant beatings and verbal threats.

As a little girl, she had never seen such a scene before, and could only silently hope that her father would come to save her.

However, she learned from a chance conversation with the group that her father had been killed in the wilderness, and she had no father to save her...

From that moment on, her heart was dead.

Fortunately, that group of people also knew her value and did not beat her afterwards. They even called a few maids to dress her up after coming here, so that she could be sold at a good price in the eyes of the noble gentlemen.

Listening to the voices of people bidding for her, she felt no emotion in her heart, only overwhelming hatred.

The reason why she did not commit suicide was because she still had an extremely strong desire in her heart.

She wanted to survive, even if there was only a slight chance, she would avenge her father.

"Traveler, Coco looks so pitiful, let's go and save her!"

Paimeng heard someone constantly raising the price, and he became very anxious. He simply flew out of the small window of the private room and shouted to the stage:

"Coco! We're here to save you!"

Everyone in the private room and in the venue were attracted by Paimon's appearance and shouts.

"Huh? What is that?"

"Look, there's a little flying man!"

"..."

Paimon, it’s little Paimon!
Yu Keke, who was trapped in the box, also heard the shouting and looked up at Paimeng who was flying towards her.

Paimon was like a little angel, bringing a ray of light into her lifeless eyes.

"Paimon! Wuwu..."

She stood up and pounded the transparent box, tears pouring down her face.

"Don't cry, Keke. We are here to save you. Hey..."

Paimon flew to the box and tried hard to open it.

"How dare you! Who the hell are you? How dare you cause trouble in my auction house!"

A loud shout was heard, and a middle-aged man jumped out of the auction hall. His soul power was surging, and seven soul rings lit up.

"This person is actually a Soul Sage! I didn't expect such a master to be in charge of the auction house!"

"A Soul Saint has come to see the action! Who could have imagined such a grand auction?"

"This is going to be a good show. I've never heard of anyone daring to cause trouble at an auction..."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but the middle-aged man ran towards the stage quickly, stretching out his big hands to capture Paimeng.

Just when he was about to succeed, a bright light suddenly flashed before his eyes.
It was not until his arm fell uncontrollably that he felt a piercing pain in his arm. He then fell to the stage, covering his broken arm and wailing.

"What are you?"

Accompanied by a cold voice, Kong appeared on the stage, kicked the middle-aged man to the side, stretched out his hand and slapped the box that contained Yu Keke, breaking it into pieces.

　Paimon: Traveler, hand over the money in your hand, or I’ll let you experience the cutest beating in Teyvat, hehe!
