Douluo: Subversion Begins with the Arrival of the Traveler

Chapter 268 Not Alone
Even a titled Douluo couldn't withstand the attack of the Bladeless Sword, let alone someone of similar strength.
She's just using mysterious powers to create Fire Dance!

Now that I possess the Unsharp Sword, I absolutely cannot afford to lose again!
Zhu Zhuqing kept encouraging herself in her heart, successfully dispelling the gloom of failure. She believed that she could definitely do it this time.

Compared to Zhu Zhuqing's self-consolation, Yu Keke didn't think so much.

At that moment, she had only one thought: her brother was watching, and she absolutely could not lose!
…………

Back at their lodgings, the Tian Dou team's captain, Dugu Yan, naturally did what she did before the match: encourage everyone and advise them not to feel any psychological pressure about tomorrow's game.

"Captain, is it really possible to win tomorrow...?"

Shi Mo touched his arm with lingering fear and asked hesitantly.

Clearly, people's joys and sorrows are different, but for Yu Keke and Zhu Zhuqing, the belief that they must win is paramount.

They failed to infect the other members of the combat team.

We can definitely win tomorrow!

Dugu Yan gestured for everyone to look to the side, where Yu Keke was holding Huo Miaomiao, lost in thought.

But it's different for Zhu Zhuqing.

She held in her hand a blunt sword that constantly emitted sharp glints.

Although there were no other movements, everyone could still feel the unparalleled sword aura emanating from the bladeless sword.

It was a spirit of courage and unstoppable momentum.

"Should we continue training now...?"

Ye Lingling also felt the sharp sword aura emanating from Zhu Zhuqing, and she asked softly.

"No need."

Facing a formidable opponent tomorrow, Dugu Yan shook her head.

Although last-minute preparation can be effective, she felt it was unnecessary.

If Huo Wu from the Blazing Academy team remains in the same state as before, no amount of training will help.

Even he himself, facing the Fire Dance empowered by that mysterious force, didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The only way to win now is with the dazed Coco and the sword-wielding Zhu Qing.

Only the two of them possessed the qualifications to confront the mysterious forces.

"Alright, everyone go down and get some rest. We'll turn things around tomorrow!"

Dugu Yan waved her hand.
“This time we’ll try a different approach. Tomorrow, Zhuqing and Keke will lead the charge, and I… will stay with you in the rear to protect Rongrong. We must make sure that the two of them can benefit from the Glazed Pagoda’s buff.”

"Yes, yes! As long as I'm alive, the amplification won't stop!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong loudly assured him.

Clearly, she also knows where the key to tomorrow's match lies.

"Sister Yan Yan, what about me..."

Seeing that Ning Rongrong, who was also a support-type Soul Master, was given such an important task, Ye Lingling didn't want to fall behind.

However, due to the limitations of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, no matter how many Soul Rings she possesses, she only has one Soul Skill: a wide-area, area-of-effect healing skill for the entire party.

“Lingling’s words…”

Dugu Yan stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then continued:
"Tomorrow on the field, you should focus all your attention on Coco and Zhuqing, and do your best to heal them. We don't need to worry about them."

Dugu Yan looked at the two Shi brothers.
"All we can do is try to give them even one more second of power. So, we, as guardians of the graphite mill, must give it our all, understand?"

"Yes!"

The graphite mill responded loudly.

They also did not think that Dugu Yan's distribution was unreasonable.

Every coin has two sides, and they know very well who the main players and who the supporting players are in their own team.

Therefore, the idea that everyone would vie for the top credit will not exist.

Even if we take a step back and consider the merits, it's not their place to claim credit.

The reason is simple: Coco and Zhu Qing are just too dazzling in the team, to the point that even top-tier support-type soul masters like Nine-Hearted Begonia and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile are overshadowed.
They were nothing more than stars setting off the bright moon. Meanwhile, in a hotel lounge, a figure sat cross-legged in the room.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his lips were pale, and his body swayed precariously. This person was none other than Huo Wu from Blazing Fire Academy.

Tuk Tuk.

"Sister Huowu, are you there?"

A soft knock came from the door, followed by a boy's voice.

"what's up?"

Huo Wu forcefully suppressed her pain, did not move her feet, and asked in a cold voice.

Clearly, she didn't want anyone to see her in this state.

"Brother Wushuang's injury is too severe, I'm afraid he won't be able to win tomorrow's match..."

Outside the door, Huo Jun whispered his purpose for finding Huo Wu.

"I see."

"..."

Huo Jun tried hard to hear what happened next, but Huo Wu left with nothing more after saying something indifferent, leaving him unsure whether to stay or leave.

"Sister Huowu..."

After thinking for a long time, Huo Jun finally spoke up again.

After all, he knew that Wushuang was Huowu's older brother, and the siblings usually had a very good relationship.

Huo Wushuang is currently seriously injured, so Huo Wu can't just ignore it, right?

The main reason why Huo Jun came to find Huo Wu was because of Huo Wu's performance during this period and the mysterious power she had acquired.

Although he didn't know how Huo Wu had obtained such power, which was far beyond her level, as a member of the team,
He would be honored if he could win the Soul Master Competition with this power.

"roll."

Just as he was still speculating, a low shout came from inside the door again.

However, he seemed to detect a hint of pain in that low growl.

However, due to Huo Wu's usual temperament and the awe-inspiring power she had acquired,
Huo Jun did not speak again. He kept his doubts to himself and carefully walked away.

Anyway, the message has been delivered, and it's up to Huo Wu to decide what to do. Besides, there are a few reserve members in the team, and he believes that his captain will make arrangements for tomorrow's match.

After realizing there was no movement outside the door, Huo Wu took out a crystal ball-like bead from her bosom.

The bead gleamed, and within it flickered faintly lightning.

"Didn't you say this power wouldn't backfire? I'm suffering every single moment now!"

Huo Wu looked down at the crystal ball, her eyes no longer showing the joy of gaining power for the first time, but instead filled with resentment.

Hiss...

Arcs of lightning flashed across the crystal ball, followed by a faint voice.

"Hmph! Your physique can't withstand too much of my power; you're still too weak."

"If it were the little girl you were fighting, she wouldn't act like you at all..."

"You...you shut up!"

Upon hearing the disdainful voice coming from the crystal ball, Huo Wu immediately bristled.

She naturally knew who the little girl the crystal ball was referring to was; she had considered that her formidable opponent this time would be the Spirit Hall team.
But I never imagined that before even reaching the finals, I would be soundly defeated by the so-called Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team.

Especially that seemingly harmless Yu Keke, we're all Soul Masters, why is she so powerful!
She's not even human!
And there's Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan...

They all deserve to die!
"Right, that is it……"

The crystal ball seemed to have heard Huo Wu's thoughts, and a sinister voice came from it once again.
