Tang Li Xue felt very happy when she finally met an extremely dependable ally like Instructor Mei Lan.
She sighed and smiled in relief, but before she could say anything to greet Instructor Mei Lan...
The headless fox stone statue already charged toward Instructor Mei Lan from a very close distance!
It seemed that the headless fox stone statue planned to crash its body into Instructor Mei Lan!
CLACK~!
But Instructor Mei Lan leisurely snapped her finger, and she suddenly changed location by appearing right beside Tang Li Xue as if she was teleporting.
BOOOOOOOMM~!
The headless fox stone statue crashed heavily onto the stone wall behind Instructor Mei Lan's previous location instead.
"This stone statue has an indestructible core inside its body, and it will immediately resurrect even after we destroy it." Tang Li Xue explained it to Instructor Mei Lan as concise and clear as possible.
As if proving Tang Li Xue's words, its severed stone head already flew back and connected again with the headless fox stone statue.
Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply as she muttered in an annoyed tone: "What a troublesome toy... It should be the prototype creation of the Refiner Department."
"Re... Refiner Department?" Tang Li Xue asked in confusion.
Instructor Mei Lan rolled her eyes and said: "Do you really think that our Fox Clan only has the Education Department and Inscriptionist Association? There are many other departments such as Refiner, Pharmacy, Alchemist, and so on."
Actually, Tang Li Xue had heard all of them except for the Refiner Department, so she was quite curious about what this Refiner Department was doing.
Unfortunately, this was clearly not the right time to discuss it since the enormous fox stone statue had already attacked them again!
It shot the destructive crimson ray of light from its eyes toward Instructor Mei Lan since it might think that Instructor Mei Lan has the highest level of threat among their group!

BOOOOOOOOOMM~!
Instructor Mei Lan's barrier could only last a few breaths before the destructive crimson light penetrated and tore it apart!
"I see... So, it is the type with extremely high attacking power, but its speed is nothing special." Instructor Mei Lan concluded as she snapped her fingers to instantly change her location to avoid the destructive crimson light.
Tang Li Xue nodded her head and added: "That is right, but there are so many annoying traps that would slow us down."
"Okay, I get it. Little Xue, you can go first and bring Silly Fox out of here. I will play with this toy for a while to give you enough time." Instructor Mei Lan said to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue nodded with a solemn expression, and she immediately sprinted away as fast as she could with the fainted Silly Fox still tied to her back.
The enormous fox stone statue growled angrily as it tried to chase the runaway Tang Li Xue, but Instructor Mei Lan already did something to stop it.
[Vibration Construct] - Invisible Wires!
BOOOOOOOM~!
The enormous fox stone statue stumbled and fell down when Instructor Mei Lan's Invisible wires tied its body and legs.
Instructor Mei Lan chuckled while muttering in a playful seductive tone: "Where do you want to go? You do not need to be so shy. Let's play together for a few more minutes~!"
The enormous fox stone statue glared angrily at Instructor Mei Lan.
It roared full of rage as it forcefully broke Instructor Mei Lan's invisible wires with brute force.
The enormous fox stone statue swung its four stone tails to attack Instructor Mei Lan!
[Demonic Tune] plus [Heavenly Sound]… [Intense Vibration Strike]: 1st echo!
Instructor Mei Lan also swung both of her slender fists to meet head-to-head against the simultaneous strike from the four stone tails!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
Instructor Mei Lan was slid back dozens of meters leaving two deep foot tracks on the stone floor.
Both of Instructor Mei Lan's hands went numb and painful, but her expression did not change. She still showed her usual gentle smile on her beautiful face.
"How annoying... So, those lunatics from the Refining Department even use us to test one of their toys in this contest." Instructor Mei Lan clicked her tongue displeasantly.
The enormous fox stone statue seemed to be in a hurry to chase after Tang Li Xue, so it launched another attack mercilessly toward Instructor Mei Lan.
"Then let's see how durable this toy is!" Instructor Mei Lan also charged fearlessly toward the enormous fox stone statue.
2nd echo: [Demonic Tune] variation move: [Grinding Strike]!
.....
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue was still running while dodging the various traps along the passage.
The duration of her [Wings of Freedom] buff had already run out, and her speed had dropped significantly.
She also felt worried about whether Instructor Mei Lan could really match that enormous fox stone statue or not, but she also knew that she and Silly Fox would only become Instructor Mei Lan's burden if they were still there.
On the contrary, Instructor Mei Lan could fight freely with her divine abilities without being afraid of accidentally affecting Tang Li Xue and Silly Fox if she was fighting alone against the enormous fox stone statue.
After fifteen minutes or so,Tang Li Xue finally saw a glimmer of white light.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs as she sprinted to that glimmer of white light, and she finally managed to bring the fainted Silly Fox out of the dark passage!
CLAP~! CLAP~! CLAP~! CLAP~!
"Let's welcome our first winner~! Oh, no... Maybe I should say two winners. Anyway, these two fox cubs have fought bravely and finally successfully overcame all obstacles!" The host party girl shouted to the audience while welcoming Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue did not bother to care about the host party girl's chatter as she untied and put down the fainted Silly Fox before she took out Talisman of Regeneration] and [Talisman of Lesser Recovery] from her unsealed space pouch, then used them on Silly Fox.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter making sure that Silly Fox's condition got better rapidly under the effects of her two talismans, Tang Li Xue stared at the dark passage with a worried expression while muttering: "I hope Instructor Lan can survive and win this contest too."
"Thank you, but you really underestimate me, right? How could I lose against a mere toy." Instructor Mei Lan replied while she walked out leisurely from the dark passage.
Despite her confident words, Instructor Mei Lan's appearance was quite messy and embarrassing right now with her right hand bleeding profusely.
"Instructor Lan~!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed as she took out another [Talisman of Regeneration] and [Talisman of Lesser Recovery] from her space pouch, then used them on Instructor Mei Lan.
Instructor Mei Lan's current state was much better compared to Silly Fox's, so she completely cured back to normal in just a few breaths.
The party host girl kept chattering to their group and audience, but Tang Li Xue and Instructor Mei Lan were already too exhausted to pay any attention to her.
Fortunately, they did not need to give any kind of winning speech in front of the audience, and the party host girl immediately gave the winning prize to them.
Tang Li Xue was still in her fox form, so she immediately went to the toilet to tidy up her appearance back to her human form first before she went back to Teacher Li Wei's side.
"It is really such a great pity that spirit treasure dress is already ruined." Tang Li Xue lamented after she wore an identical light blue dress but it was created by her [Energy Manipulation].
Teacher Li Wei chucked as he tapped Tang Li Xue's forehead and scolded her in a playful tone: "You ungrateful little girl~! You should be grateful that you can win that contest and get the ticket."
"Ticket? This is a ticket?" Tang Li Xue took a black metal badge she got from winning the contest and asked Teacher Li Wei in a puzzled tone.
Teacher Li Wei nodded his head and replied: "Yes, it is your ticket, so you can follow us to explore the secret realm later."
Tang Li Xue instantly deflated after she heard Teacher Li Wei's words as she complained: "What the heck?! What is the point of that?! I did better rest comfortably in Myriad Foxes Academy!"
"All of the treasures you find in the secret realm will belong to you, or you can also choose to sell them to us and get a lot of credits in return." Teacher Li Wei added.
Tang Li Xue: "???!!!"
Tang Li Xue's mind turned blank for a few moments before she could process the information she heard from Teacher Li Wei.
"Wh... Wha... What~?! Are you serious, Teacher Li Wei?" Tang Li Xue asked in an excited tone while grinning happily.
Teacher Li Wei also smiled back at Tang Li Xue and said: "Of course, it is true. But you better not hope too much. There are so many unknown dangers and formations in the secret realm, so you might not be able to find many precious treasures with your current strength."
Tang Li Xue nodded in understanding at Teacher Li Wei, but her mind did not think so.
With her [Fiery Bright Eyes] and basic [All Knowing Eyes] plus Little Loki's ability to sense treasures and create a hole in any formations with its [Heaven's Devour], Tang Li Xue was quite sure that she could obtain many precious treasures in the secret realm later.
