Chapter 202 The Cannon Fodder Substitute of the Fantasy Heroine
"Of course there is a way. I will destroy the Demon Lord's body one by one. The jade pendant where his soul temporarily resides is with Duanmu Rong. I will ask the two deans to help me eliminate his soul when the time comes."
Su Lan certainly understood that relying solely on her current strength to completely destroy the Demon Lord's thousand-year-old soul was undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg. However, fortunately, she unexpectedly found a soul-trapping formation in the collection of formations that was once widely used on ancient battlefields.
This formation can trap the male protagonist in his soul state and make him forever lost in the boundless stars. However, to activate this powerful formation, the assistance of three powerful warriors above the Dou Wang level is required.
Therefore, instead of training alone, it would be better to find a powerful helper to fight together. This is why she confessed to the three of them that she was a reborn person.
Hearing Su Lan's firm tone, the dean nodded and said, "Since you already have a specific plan to eliminate the Demon Lord, then feel free to implement it boldly! We old guys will definitely help you with all our strength." After saying that, he glanced at the still somewhat dazed vice-dean and Teacher Shen next to him, signaling them to express their attitude.
The vice-president came to his senses and said quickly, "That's right, Su Lan, just go ahead and do it. We will fully support your actions."
Teacher Shen also immediately stated: "I will also do my best to help you complete this difficult task."
"Thank you both for your trust, but before that, I need your help with two things. First, find some Douling-level elders to keep an eye on Duanmu Rong and make sure she doesn't let her black jade leave her body. Second, take me to the academy's library. I want to research how to destroy the Demon Lord's infinitely growing body."
Su Lan said this with a serious face, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.
Upon hearing this, the Vice Dean stepped forward without hesitation, offering to lead Su Lan to the academy's library. He understood the importance of this mission and Su Lan's thirst for knowledge and power. Teacher Shen, on the other hand, took the initiative to find and arrange for a Douling-level elder to guard Duanmu Rong.
However, the dean faced a more difficult challenge. Not only did he need to consider how to explain this situation to the other two guards, but he also had to face their possible doubts and questions about Su Lan's rebirth. After all, something as bizarre as rebirth could not be convinced by simple words.
At the same time, Su Lan's request to keep Duan Murong under close watch was also a well-thought-out decision. Although Nan Huifei's threat had been lifted, Duan Murong would inevitably be eager to improve her strength in order to maintain her dignity and status.
The one who was most familiar with the magic cultivation techniques was the Demon Lord Yu in the black jade! Just like in his previous life, he proposed the same fishing method with Duanmu Rong. This time, the Demon Lord also planned to absorb more fighting spirit, so that he could repair the magic energy consumed twice.
Although Su Lan could not kill the heroine immediately, she would never let the classmates who were killed in the previous life become Duanmu Rong's tools again, nor would she let the fighting spirit they cultivated throughout their lives become nourishment for others.
Duanmu Rong wandered the academy for two days, carefully selecting several talented and high-level Dou Qi brothers and sisters as her targets. However, just as she tossed the black jade to the side of the road, it reappeared in Duanmu Rong's room the next moment. The Douling Elder's speed was so swift that even the Demon Lord didn't notice what had happened.
"This academy is really strange. I clearly left the black jade on the roadside. Lord Demon, how did you come back?" Duanmu Rong asked in confusion.
"I didn't see it clearly, but you may have been targeted." The Demon Lord was keenly aware that the situation was not good. He suggested that Duanmu Rong keep a low profile, attend classes on time, make friends, and try to behave like an ordinary student.
Duanmu Rong suppressed her competitive spirit and began to live like a student. This was the first time she felt dissatisfied with this world since she traveled through time.
That's right, she's a high school girl from the 21st century who accidentally traveled to another world. In this world, there's a novel called "Fighting Spirits to Confer the Gods," and the supporting actress, Duanmu Rong, has the same name as her! This made her feel so deeply involved, and the more she read, the angrier she became.
In this novel, the heroine Duanmu Lan is actually an imposter, and the real daughter is supposed to be Duanmu Rong. However, Duanmu Lan, through her extraordinary talent and diligent training, has become a leader among her peers and even received personal instruction from the dean of the Imperial Academy.
Under the guidance of this powerful mentor, a Dou Wang-level expert, Duanmu Lan broke through to the Dou Zong realm at a young age. In comparison, the Demon Lord was only at this level at his peak.
In order to maintain peace on the continent, Duanmu Lan resolutely decided to sacrifice herself and destroyed the soul and body of the Demon Lord through self-detonation, eliminating him in one fell swoop. Her heroic act won the praise of everyone on the continent and made her a hero in their hearts.
Even more comforting is that before she gave her life, she finally reunited with her biological parents and spent some wonderful time with them. Although her life was short, she has no regrets in her life.
However, in "Fighting Spirits: Gods of War," Duanmu Rong, a true daughter of a wealthy family, has returned to the Duanmu family, but Duanmu Lei insists that the clan members address her as "Second Young Lady." From then on, no matter how hard she cultivates, she can never gain her parents' attention or recognition. She constantly lives under the spotlight of Duanmu Lan, becoming the object of ridicule at the academy, nicknamed "the eldest young lady's lackey."
Not only that, even her biological parents favored their adopted daughter and were determined to hand over the power of the Duanmu family to Duanmu Lan. This made Duanmu Rong's life full of bitterness and helplessness, as if she was just a superfluous existence. Duanmu Lan, on the other hand, relied on his family's resources and status to continuously improve his strength and eventually ascended to the throne of God.
After the heroine's death, Duanmu Rong did not feel happy or relieved. Instead, she continued to live a lonely life. The Fifth Prince, whom she loved deeply, never married for Duanmu Lan and never even looked at her.
All this plunged Duanmu Rong into deep pain. She felt like a poor creature teased by fate and eventually died of depression.
This ending immediately made the high school student Duanmu Rong, who was a reader, dissatisfied, and she started to criticize the author: "What a crappy ending! How could it be like this? It's so unfair!" It happened that there were readers in the comment section who had the same idea as her, and recommended to her another novel with Duanmu Rong and Demon Lord Yu as the protagonists - "The Domineering Demon Lord Loves Me to the Sky".
Duanmu Rong curiously opened the novel and found that the plot was completely different. The Demon Lord and the female supporting character Duanmu Rong fell in love at first sight. The two redeemed each other and became best partners. Their relationship went from alienation and exploitation to deep love.
"I give you my wholehearted and exclusive companionship, and you gather my physical body together for me so that I can be resurrected and appear in the sun again." Duanmu Rong was deeply moved by this line, and a feeling of emotion surged in her heart.
The love between the two is indeed sweet. High school student Duanmu Lan became more and more attracted to the story as she read on. In order to stay up late to finish the novel, she accidentally touched the light and was electrocuted to death.
However, what is unexpected is that her soul travels to the world in the book and possesses the body of "Duanmu Rong" with the same name.
