Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 396: Instructor Mei Lan VS Zuo Hongzhuang!

Instructor Mei Lan put her slender finger on her chin and thinking a way to break out of Zuo Hongzhuang's illusion for a few moments.

"No good… I cannot think of any easy way out from this illusion. It seems I can only use the hard way to break out from it.? Oh well, I like the hard way more anyway." Instructor Mei Lan mumbled, then she softly chuckled as she charged toward Zuo Hongzhuang and attacked her again.

[Demonic Tune] variation move: [Grinding Strike]!

BAAAAAANG… BOOOOM… PPPUUUUUFFF…

Even if the reality turned back over and over again, Instructor Mei Lan kept charging toward Zuo Hongzhuang, then she killed Zuo Hongzhuang again and again in this illusion for more than thirty times.

Zuo Hongzhuang shook her head and advised Instructor Mei Lan before she got killed again: "Mei Lan, all of your effort is only futile. You will never be able to get out from my [Inverted Reality] with force. You should just wait patiently here until my illusion is run out."

Instructor Mei Lan giggled at Zuo Hongzhuang's statement and replied with a leisure tone: "You mean I will automatically get released from this illusion once you have died, so I should just wait patiently for that to happen, right? Nope! No way! That is not going to happen."

Zuo Hongzhuang frowned in annoyance and retorted in a chilling tone: "Then I did like to see how long you will be able to keep up doing that!"

"Oh, you do not need to worry about that. I was only testing the waters before... and to vent out some of my anger to your illusion. I must admit that it really makes me a lot relieved. As for the way to break out from your illusion, I already managed to find it a while ago." Instructor Mei Lan blurted out with a teasing smile on her face.

"That is impossible! Stop bluffing! There is no way you can break out from my [Inverted Reality] without any external help!" Zuo Hongzhuang spontaneously shouted in disbelief and anger.

"This [Inverted Reality] of yours is the illusion made to trap my conscious inside it, right? Then what will happen if there is no 'me' in this [Inverted Reality] of yours?" Instructor Mei Lan gave a hint while kept smiling at Zuo Hongzhuang.

Zuo Hongzhuang widened her eyes and exclaimed in a surprised tone: "Do not tell me that you planned to…"

Instructor Mei Lan immediately interrupted Zuo Hongzhuang's words and said while laughing: "Correct! But there is no reward for you..."

Instructor Mei Lan raised her smooth right palm and used her [Grinding Strike] again. However, this time her target was not Zuo Hongzhuang but her own left chest.

PPPUUUUFFFF~!!!

Instructor Mei Lan's right palm pierced deep into her own left chest, and her blood spurting out profusely drenched the ground below her feet with her own blood.

Although Instructor Mei Lan already prepared herself for this, but the unbelievable pain she felt right now was so real that it made her almost fall onto her knees and scream out loud.

However, Instructor Mei Lan chose to grit her teeth and silently withstood the unbelievable pain as her consciousness turned blurry and the scene in front of her turned dark.

…..

…

.

The next moment when Instructor Mei Lan opened her eyes, she already broke out from Zuo Hongzhuang's [Inverted Reality] and returned to the real reality.

"Pfffft… Cough… Cough… Cough…" Zuo Hongzhuang was assaulted by the violent backlash when Instructor Mei Lan managed to break out from her [Inverted Reality] and coughed out several mouthfuls of blood.

Even Instructor Mei Lan did not get spared by the violent backlash and also coughed out several mouthfuls of blood from her mouth.

Actually, there were only two ways to break out of Zuo Hongzhuang's [Inverted Reality].

The first way was like what Zuo Hongzhuang had told Instructor Mei Lan before. It was to have external help from other people or treasure such as Tang Li Xue's ring necklace.

Instructor Mei Lan obviously did not have anyone or any treasure to help her.

The second way was to have stronger consciousness than the person, who cast the [Inverted Reality], Zuo Hongzhuang herself… or in Tang Li Xue's language, it means Instructor Mei Lan need to have a higher Spirit stat than Zuo Hongzhuang, to be able to break out forcefully from her illusion.

Obviously, Instructor Mei Lan's Spirit stat could not be higher than Zuo Hongzhuang since Zuo Hongzhuang was already in Spirit Beast Rank, while Instructor Mei Lan was only at the peak of Beast Lord Rank.

That was the reason why Zuo Hongzhuang was so confident that Instructor Mei Lan would never be able to break out from her [Inverted Reality].

What Instructor Mei Lan had done just now was the same as forcefully self-destructing herself to terminate Zuo Hongzhuang's illusion.

It was nothing more than a forceful suicidal move, just like how the prisoner in the jail rammed his head heavily to the steel bars to get out from there.

Even Zuo Hongzhuang never thought that Instructor Mei Lan would use this way to get out from her illusion, thus resulted in both herself and Instructor Mei Lan inflicted by heavy injuries right now.

Both Zuo Hongzhuang and Instructor Mei Lan staggered, and they would already faint if not for their ego and pride that keep them awake.

Instructor Mei Lan quickly took out the [Talisman Of Regeneration +3] that Tang Li Xue gave to her before from her space pouch and used it on herself.

Instructor Mei Lan's internal injuries were actually much heavier than Zuo Hongzhuang, but it could still be treated with [Talisman Of Regeneration +3] since she was still only at the peak of Beast Lord Rank.

Meanwhile, it was much harder for Zuo Hongzhuang to treat her own injuries because any basic talisman like this [Talisman Of Regeneration] will not work on Spirit Beast Rank.

"You are really insane!" Zuo Hongzhuang said as she gnashed her teeth in anger.

Instructor Mei Lan laughed as she wiped the blood on her mouth and replied: "No, you are the one that insane. If you just follow me back obediently to Myriad Foxes Academy, all of these will not happen, and I did not need to do such a suicidal move!"

"Nonsense! Mei Lan, you better return to Myriad Foxes Academy right now, or I will not hold myself back anymore. You should understand it too, right? If I did not set such a loophole in my [Inverted Reality], you would already be dead right now!" Zuo Hongzhuang retorted in dejection.

"Don't get me wrong. I admit that it is my mistake for letting you cast your illusion onto me. It seems I was looking down on you too much because I still treated you as a sickly fox before. But it will never happen again from now on." Instructor Mei Lan sneered while exclaimed to Zuo Hongzhuang.

None of them wanted to give in to others, so there was only one way to decide it. Fight again until one of them admitted their defeat!

Just like what Instructor Mei Lan had said just now, she really did not plan to let Zuo Hongzhuang cast another illusion onto her this time.

[Vibration Construct]!

[Vibration Wires]!

Everything Instructor Mei Lan created using her [Vibration Construct] was transparent, and this time she used her [Vibration Construct] to create many thin wires at once!

These thin invisible wires were really hard to detect and avoided. The result could be easily be imagined if someone bound by these thin invisible wires. They would definitely look like a bug that got caught in the spider web.

Moreover, these thin invisible wires were actually very sharp and kept vibrating violently!

It could even easily cut any steel like tofu!

However, Zuo Hongzhuang already had her own way to avoid getting caught by these invisible thin wires.

Illusion type Divine ability: [Rippling Reflection]… [Phantom Mirages]!

Zuo Hongzhuang's figure suddenly split into four, then from four into eight, from eight to sixteen, and so on.

"What is that?! It is almost the same as Huang Boy's divine ability, [Shadow Clone]. But it should be impossible for Zuo Hongzhuang to have that kind of divine ability. The principle behind it should be different. She must have used her Illusion type divine ability to create many false reflections of herself!" Instructor Mei Lan calmly deduced.

Instructor Mei Lan chuckled and declared: "But no matter how good your false reflections are, the real you would still never be able to escape from my [Vibration Wires]!"

After finished her words, Instructor Mei Lan controlled some of the [Vibration Wires] to bind all of Zuo Hongzhuang's reflections since Instructor Mei Lan was very sure that the real Zuo Hongzhuang should be still among them.

But on the contrary to Instructor Mei Lan's expectation, all of her [Vibration Wires] passed through all of Zuo Hongzhuang's reflections as if all of them were only illusions made by Zuo Hongzhuang.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply as her expression turned more solemn now.

"With my [Phantom Mirages], I will become the phantom, and the phantom is me. All of my mirages are me, yet all of them are my illusion, thus I am the illusion itself!" Zuo Hongzhuang slowly murmured to Instructor Mei Lan.

Instructor Mei Lan pondered Zuo Hongzhuang's words carefully and thought of a way to break her illusion skill again, but Zuo Hongzhuang would never give Instructor Mei Lan any free time to think anymore and let all of her [Phantom Mirages] charged toward Instructor Mei Lan at once.

Instructor Mei Lan controlled her [Vibration Wires] to stop all of Zuo Hongzhuang's [Phantom Mirages] from approaching her, but all of those [Phantom Mirages] easily passed through the [Vibration Wires] as if they were a group of ghosts that could not be touched by any material things.
