Douluo Continent: My Path to Godhood Through Stat Allocation

Chapter 42 People from the City Lord's Mansion

Fang Ling was pondering the possibility of a one-on-two situation when her teacher and his wife suddenly took her to Director Ou's office.

"What happened?" he asked, puzzled.

Lin Tianyang said in a deep voice, "We received information from concerned individuals that someone from the City Lord's Mansion will come to kill you today."

"Because of that life-or-death battle?"

"right."

After a moment of surprise, Fang Ling understood.

In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme, and it's not surprising that some people break their promises.

"Kill me? How?" Contrary to their expectations, Fang Ling wasn't afraid; instead, she felt a sense of novelty. "I haven't left the academy lately; do you think they'd dare attack us here?"

"That's quite possible." Director Ou nodded slightly.

These words made Fang Ling's expression freeze.

Director Ou continued, "Xu Chi is not very talented and is not favored in the City Lord's Mansion, but his mother, An Yufei, likes him very much. At this moment, she is rushing to the academy to avenge her beloved son."

"An Yufei is a Flying Soul Master, so she can fly directly to the academy."

"The city lord and the dean have a grudge, which may directly implicate the city lord who is at the Soul Emperor level."

Fang Ling gasped, about to ask if they could run away.

Remembering the background the teacher hadn't mentioned, and seeing that the three of them didn't seem very nervous, I suddenly realized something.

Why does the Dean have a grudge against the City Lord?

"Because my father once defeated him and two of his teammates in a one-against-three battle, they were just the backdrop to my father's achievements," Lin Tianyang said with a proud smile.

The teacher is indeed the dean's son, and is a very powerful Soul Emperor.

The three of them were teasing him in perfect unison; they really had the leisure to do so...

Fang Ling didn't know what to say, but a sudden inspiration flashed through her mind, and her eyes brightened slightly.

"Has Master returned?"

"After the life-or-death battle ended, we had a feeling something might have happened, so we sent people out that very night. Based on the estimated time, he should be back soon."

"The city lord is just a background character~" With this assurance, Fang Ling's mind immediately became active.

Xu Chi could understand his mother's desire to avenge her son, but he could not accept it.

Does that mean your son shouldn't die, but other people's sons should?

She really should think that way.

That's a good way to think.

He wouldn't blame anyone; after all, that's just how the world is.

This is actually a good opportunity, since he doesn't have a storage soul tool yet.

It's so inconvenient to store things; nowhere is as safe as carrying them around.

However, the cheapest item in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's shops costs tens of thousands, which I don't have the money for.

I don't dare buy those that are rotten or half-damaged.

What should I do if my phone suddenly explodes while I'm using it?

Now, someone is delivering the goods to our door, isn't that right?

The fault lies entirely with the city lord; he can get everything by extorting a sum of money.

This was just enough to compensate him for the fright he had suffered.

Those who dare to harbor murderous intent towards him are actually best killed.

However, this is Fang Ling's own business, and there is no need to involve the teachers.

When we become stronger, we can naturally settle accounts with them all at once.

"Are there any defensive-type Soul Masters in the academy?" he asked quickly.

Lin Tianyang and Shu Manyun were still in shock.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Director Ou's eyes, as if he realized something. "There are two. You mean...?"

Fang Ling intertwined her fingers and smiled shyly:

"I don't have a soul tool, and I'm broke and can't afford to buy one, so this is a perfect opportunity to scam a higher-end one."

Director Ou grew even more fond of Fang Ling, who knew when to advance and retreat and possessed exceptional talent.

"Good lad! Ignore those two slowpokes, your teacher and his wife, let's plan this out in detail."

It's impossible to just capture and kill them, because that would mean a life-or-death feud with the city lord.

I'm not afraid, but there's no need to.

It would be best to get as much compensation as possible, and Fang Ling's initiative to offer this was indeed due to consideration of all aspects.

……

They are still plotting.

At this moment, a peculiar carriage, combining a rugged yet luxurious design, came to a leisurely stop at the entrance of the academy.

There is a badge on it featuring a black longsword.

Anyone with even a little knowledge knows that the Black Gold Sword is the city lord's martial spirit.

This badge is, of course, the badge of the city lord's mansion.

The two guards at the academy's main gate recognized him immediately, completely bewildered. What were the city lord's men doing here?

Could it be because of what happened at the recent Great Soul Arena?

The battle between Fang Ling and Xu Chi was very exciting; both were geniuses who had won dozens of consecutive life-or-death battles.

It's full of hype, packed with highlights, and the battle is full of twists and turns.

The battle was widely talked about, and the two gatekeepers were naturally aware of it.

But in the life-or-death battles of the Great Soul Arena, once you step onto the stage, your life or death is in the hands of fate.

This is a well-known rule.

How dare the people from the City Lord's Mansion drag their grudges into this?

"Get out of the way, I'm going in to kill that little bastard who killed my son!"

A shrill female voice came from inside the carriage.

With a slightly hoarse and broken tone, her words revealed that she was Xu Chi's mother.

The gatekeeper was unaware of the feud between the academy's dean and the city lord, but the academy had treated them well and would not let them pass so easily.

They revealed their martial spirits, warily watching the carriage in front of them. Each of them had a yellow halo around their body, clearly indicating that they were two one-ring soul masters.

"Madam, please leave. This is the War King Academy, not your subordinate institution."

Upon hearing this, a woman dressed in black jumped off the carriage.

She has long chestnut hair, a beautiful face, and a curvaceous figure.

Although she is already forty, she looks only about thirty because she takes good care of herself.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tear stains at the corners of her eyes. It was unclear how long she had been crying.

Upon hearing the security guard's refusal, the string of reason snapped on the spot. He was so angry that he didn't even realize his nails were digging into his flesh.

Or perhaps they were consumed by rage and had ignored the pain.

With a cold snort, a red light flashed between her brows, and crimson feathers began to cover her body, including the ones on her head.

Mid-to-high level martial spirit: Crimson-feathered Crane.

A fire-attribute beast spirit, the key is that it can fly.

Her entire body was covered in feathers, and a pair of long, black-striped wings were visible on her back.

He has four Soul Rings with the best age configuration.

The second-ranked yellow spirit ring flashed, and with a flap of its wings, it unleashed two gusts of hot wind, instantly knocking down both guards.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the carriage driver, she flew directly towards the academy.

"Second Madam!" the coachman called out anxiously.

A troop of soldiers followed the carriage.

"Sister!" the leader shouted, but received no response.

"An Yufei!" Calling her by her name didn't work. His expression changed slightly, and he slammed his fist against his thigh. "How could I be so reckless!"

After adjusting his mindset, he pointed at the carriage driver and said, "You, hurry back and inform the city lord of the situation here."

"They say that the lady, eager for revenge, stormed into the War King Academy."

After saying that, he quickly assigned another person.

"Li Er, take my warrant and summon another... no, two more Soul Master teams."

"yes!"

"Wait a minute." The man glanced at the two wounded men lying at the door, paused for a moment, and then said, "Bring over another healing-type Soul Master to heal these two."

The gatekeepers are not important; what matters is the reputation of the War King Academy.

We can't wait until their injuries get worse.

If he dies, it will be a huge problem.

If the city lord, who is also his brother-in-law, can defeat the dean of the War King Academy, then things will be fine.

But I just can't beat them.

Hopefully, the teachers at the college can stop her.

Otherwise, if someone gets hurt or even dies, then there will be trouble.

"The rest of you, follow me and storm the academy to rescue the Second Madam!"

"yes!"

Actually, it should be said that they were arrested, but that doesn't sound very nice.

The one who forced her way into the academy was his sister, who was also the city lord's wife. As a noblewoman, she had to maintain her dignity.
