Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 264 What, it's not working already?

However, Yu Keke's face remained resolute in the face of Huo Wu's taunts.

She would use her last remaining strength to settle things with Huo Wu.

"You talk too much!"

With a tense expression, Yu Keke channeled her soul power once more, a faint purple light enveloping her entire body. Despite the pain, she suddenly charged towards Huo Wu.

"A fearless struggle~"

Huo Wu chuckled disdainfully. Seeing that Yu Keke hadn't used her soul skill, she immediately changed her palm into a fist and engaged Yu Keke in battle again.

"What should we do? Coco seems to be losing. If only she hadn't come down..."

Ning Rongrong looked anxiously at Yu Keke on the stage, who could only barely defend herself against Huo Wu's still sharp attacks, and said worriedly.

"If we hadn't come down just now, I'm afraid none of us would even be able to fight now..."

Zhu Zhuqing said with lingering fear.

The Tian Dou team now consists of only her, Ning Rongrong, and Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan and the two Shi brothers were carried away for treatment due to their injuries.

"But Coco can't beat her!"

"Her power is strange; she can even penetrate space itself. I am no match for her..."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, recalling the attack she had just been so proud of, which had allowed her to kill a Title Douluo without him even realizing it.
The Blazing Fire Team member named Fire Dancer was able to easily see through it, and it wasn't just her strength.

Zhu Zhuqing now suspects that Huo Wu's consciousness may not even be her own anymore!

Thinking about this, she became even more terrified.

She had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it.

"Your Majesty's strength has always been unfathomable. If Your Majesty were to intervene in such a terrifying matter, it would be understandable..."

Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself.

Despite having been by Sora's side for so long, she still didn't know the limits of Sora's abilities.

Therefore, in her view, such an unheard-of event would be reasonable if it came from Kong, but if it happened to Huo Wu...

At this thought, her brows furrowed tightly.

With her intelligence, she made a slight connection between the emptiness and the so-called gods.

Could it be that the Fire Dancer in the arena, who is so different from the one in the past few days, has some unknown secret behind her?
But what are their reasons for doing this?

Could Huo Wu be the successor of some god, and is she here to help her win the Soul Master Competition?
And that was exactly what Zhu Zhuqing had thought.

The person who went out of the city alone that night was Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Team.

When she learned that the academy team she was facing today was the same old rival, the Heavenly Dou Royal Team, who had previously crushed them with overwhelming force.

She was more anxious than anyone else.

Both are exceptional talents, so why does Yu Keke receive so much preferential treatment, while I merely stated the facts and said a few words?

She was nearly breathless from a single glare from the Title Douluo who was backing her up behind Yu Keke...

She was unwilling to accept this and didn't want to be pinned to the ground and beaten like last time!
But unfortunately, that's all the strength she can achieve...

It's not that she's not strong, otherwise their team wouldn't have maintained a winning streak except for losing to the Tiandou team.

However, when facing the Heavenly Dou Team, their proud power seemed like a babbling toddler in front of them, not even on the same level.

Is it really going to be another crushing defeat in tomorrow's competition...?

Just as she was at her wit's end, a cryptic voice rang in her ears.

At first, she thought it was just a hallucination caused by her anxiety, but as the voice spoke out all her worries...

They also promised to grant her power, allowing her to dominate the arena tomorrow and helping her win the championship.
Her mind was completely captivated by that voice.

Returning to this point, with Huo Wu receiving a continuous stream of mysterious power, Yu Keke is now becoming quite weak.

The purple light emanating from her body was almost ethereal, and every time she received an attack from Huo Wu, she was forced to retreat repeatedly.

On the high platform, Bibi Dong, who had been sitting upright, also stood up.

She was very concerned about Yu Keke's current situation.

"Your Holiness, Coco has no one to carry on the torch. If this continues..."

Yue Guan bowed to Bibi Dong and inquired. He observed the situation on the field and estimated that Yu Keke would likely be defeated within ten moves.

If that guy from Blazing Fire Academy doesn't hold back, and that person blames us...

Who can withstand his rage?

Furthermore, Yu Keke had left a very good impression on him, no matter how you look at it.

He couldn't bear to see Yu Keke get hurt.

Bibi Dong did not respond, but instead looked up at the sky.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her serious expression was filled with worry.

Up to now, she has not sensed a trace of emptiness.

Reason told her that she absolutely could not act rashly before receiving a reply from someone who was available.

"Wait, wait..."

Bibi Dong parted her cherry lips slightly and uttered a sentence in a light, airy voice.

"……Yes."

Since the Pope had spoken, Yue Guan had no choice but to obey. However, he still spoke again.
"Your Holiness, I request permission to proceed to the foot of the arena..."

His only goal was to rescue Yu Keke in time when things were beyond saving.

For this reason, I would not hesitate to bear the consequences of interfering in the competition.

"Everyone sit down."

Bibi Dong glanced at Yue Guan.

Thinking to myself, "Only you're worried?"
Seeing that Yue Guan and the ghost beside him hadn't sat down yet, she nodded impatiently and continued:
"With Lord Fire Meow Meow present, what are you worried about?"

Following her gaze, the group indeed saw the area below arena number nine.

Beside the members of the Tiandou team, besides Zhu Zhuqing and the others, Huo Miaomiao had arrived at some point.

"With Lord Fire Meow Meow here, Coco will be fine."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down as instructed.

Yes, even if we don't take action, it's still Lord Fire Meow who was arranged by that master to protect Coco.
Concern can cloud judgment; with Fire Meow Meow around, everything is absolutely safe.

In the arena, Zhu Zhuqing watched nervously as Yu Keke was once again knocked away from the ring.

She could no longer stand still. Regardless of the rules, she simply activated her martial spirit and headed to the arena to help Yu Keke.

Even if they are not opponents, we cannot let Coco bear the burden alone.

Suddenly, just as she darted out, her trouser leg was firmly grabbed by Fire Meow Meow's outstretched claws.

"Don't go, Coco will be fine."

"Coco is out of strength, Fire Meow Meow, let's go save her together!"

Zhu Zhuqing said urgently.

"Not urgent."

Fire Meow Meow shook its head slightly.

If he didn't know the master was coming, he wouldn't even need to wait for anyone else; in his dictionary,
Yu Keke's safety is the top priority; he probably would have already rushed up and rescued her by now.

But he knew the adults were there, and, unsurprisingly, were watching the scene. Given his intelligence,

There's a reason why the adults haven't intervened in Coco's current situation.

However, he has made ample preparations and will step in if a critical moment truly arises.

"..."

Seeing Huo Miaomiao, who was usually more anxious about Yu Keke's safety than anyone else, so calm, Zhu Zhuqing breathed heavily, but did not rush onto the stage again.

"What? It's not working already?"

On the stage, Huo Wu knocked Yu Keke away and followed closely behind.

Looking down at Yu Keke lying on the ground, a twisted look of perverse pleasure appeared on his face.
