Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 255 Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Enters the Scene
Rumors about the three sects and the mysterious powerful figure immediately went viral.

Within twenty meters of each other, three different versions surfaced.

Fifty meters away, rumors circulated that the reason Haotian destroyed the sect was...
It was because an elder, drunk at night, mistakenly entered the mysterious powerful figure's pigsty and attempted to commit a crime of eating, thus bringing about his demise...

After the players finished speaking in the arena, the team members from each college chatted amongst themselves in the rest room.

In the private lounge of the Tiandou Royal Academy team, Yu Keke stood on tiptoe, looking at the sea of ​​people outside, her little face full of tension.

"Coco, what's wrong?"

When Dugu Yan noticed that Yu Keke was acting strangely, she asked her with concern.

"I...I'm fine, it's just that there are so many people, I'm so nervous..."

Yu Keke wiped the sweat from her hands; she was genuinely nervous about the scene before her.

"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan took Yu Keke's small hand, and the two sat down on a stool nearby. She spoke earnestly:

"The more people there are, the more lively it will be. That way, more people can see the highlights of our team's battles!"

Dugu Yan finished speaking with an excited expression.

Clearly, she seemed to enjoy the moment of showcasing her exceptional abilities in front of everyone.

"But I'm a little scared..."

Yu Keke said weakly.

"What are you afraid of?"

Dugu Yan raised an eyebrow and placed her delicate hand on the little girl's shoulder.

"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by the large number of people here. There are very, very few who are better than you."

If you think like that, don't treat them like people, just treat them like ducks!
Anyway, they're just quacking away like ducks...

"Giggle~"

Dugu Yan's analogy made all the team members in the rest area burst into laughter.

Even Yu Keke was successfully amused by her, which eased her tension.

But there was another person standing alone at the observation post, looking sadly at the high platform in the center of the arena.

"Oh dear~ What's wrong with Rongrong this time?"

Seeing that one person had been appeased only to be followed by another suffering from emo, Dugu Yan slapped her forehead and stepped forward to inquire.

"Sister Yan Yan... Waaah~"

As soon as Dugu Yan reached out to embrace Ning Rongrong, the girl buried her head in Dugu Yan's arms and burst into tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Tell us sisters what's wrong, and we'll help you!"

Clearly, Ning Rongrong's symptoms were even worse than Yu Keke's, which also threw Dugu Yan, the older sister, into a panic.

"Rongrong, don't cry, what's wrong?"

"Sister Rongrong, we're all here. You can tell us what's on your mind."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing, Yu Keke, and the others quickly gathered around to inquire about and comfort their friend.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is gone, Grandpa Bone is dead, and Dad is missing... Waaah~"

When the topic of her sadness came up, Ning Rongrong cried even harder.

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes; on that high platform, my father, Sword Grandfather, and Bone Grandfather must have been sitting.

Whenever that time came, no matter where she was, she could always spot a few people at a glance, and she always felt a strange sense of security.

But now when she looked again, there was no longer a single figure of her old friend on the high platform.

Overwhelmed with grief, tears streamed down my face.

"Sigh..." Dugu Yan could only sigh upon hearing this. No matter how eloquent Dugu Yan was, she was clearly powerless to change this established fact.

"Rongrong, don't cry. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still has you, so you have to be strong!"

Zhu Zhuqing offered words of comfort.

"If those people you mentioned saw you like this, they would be heartbroken..."

"Waaah~ I won't cry, I won't cry... Waaah~"

Ning Rongrong was moved by Zhu Zhuqing's words, and she tried her best to control her emotions.

Yes, right now I'm the only one left in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; I represent the entire school.

I must never show my vulnerable side to the world; I must be strong!
Ning Rongrong kept encouraging herself, but after all, she was still just a teenage girl.
Having grown up under the protection of the sect, the only major event I've experienced is the sect's collapse.

It would be really difficult for her to resist thinking about it.

Despite the tears streaming down her face, she had already left Dugu Yan's embrace, proudly raising her head high in an attempt to prevent the tears from overflowing.

Her lips twitched slightly, but she kept them tightly shut, refusing to cry out.

"..."

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong's appearance, the group of girlfriends, needless to say,
Even the two brothers, Graphite and Millstone, felt a sudden pang of discomfort, as if they were about to wet themselves.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived!"

Just then, the guard in charge of reporting shouted again after a long silence, empowered by his soul power.

This caused countless people in the room to tacitly shut their mouths and turn their gazes to the aisle.

The voice naturally reached the rest room of the Heavenly Dou Royal Team as well. Ning Rongrong was taken aback at first.
She then rushed to the observation deck as if her life depended on it. She was so eager to see the scene in her heart that she didn't want to wait even a second longer!

As the guards' voices still echoed in the corridor, a man and a sword came into view.

Dressed in white, with white hair and beard, Chen Xin resembled a chivalrous knight-errant, drawing his Martial Soul Seven Kill Sword and cradling it in his arms.
His sword aura was concealed, yet his sword intent penetrated into every gaze directed at him.

He looked straight ahead, his steps steady and powerful, walking unhurriedly from the aisle into the arena.

"Grandpa Sword! It's Grandpa Sword!"

Upon seeing Chen Xin, Ning Rongrong could no longer contain her emotions, which, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, overwhelmed her reason.

She staggered out of the lounge and ran straight to Chen Xin under the gazes of countless people.

The two stood still, neither speaking, Chen Xin's eyes filled with tenderness.

Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, wept uncontrollably, silently venting her inner emotions.

"Girl, Grandpa Jian is here."

Chen Xin revealed a kind smile, the Seven Kill Sword vanished at his thought, and he opened his arms.
He stepped forward and embraced the poor granddaughter.

"Grandpa Sword! Waaah!"

Ning Rongrong cried loudly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered.

Chen Xin held her tightly, and only after she had vented her emotions did he gently say:
"Don't be afraid, little girl. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still has this rusty sword of mine."

"Grandpa Jian, I'm so glad you're alright, I'm so glad you're alright..."

After Ning Rongrong finished sobbing, she naturally realized that Chen Xin had fully recovered from his injuries and seemed to have reached his peak condition.

"Hehe~ Alright, Grandpa heard from the adults that you participated in the Soul Master Competition, so he came all the way here to cheer on my little girl~"

"Thank you, Grandpa Jian! I... I will definitely live up to your expectations! We will definitely win the championship!"

"Hehe~ Okay, Grandpa will wait."

Chen Xin smiled kindly, then escorted Ning Rongrong to the rest room.

He walked alone to the high platform and sat down next to the Chrysanthemum and Demon Douluo.
