Myriad Foxes Academy, Instructor Mei Lan's Residence, behind the Education Department Building...

It was a sunny day right now, and the sun was already so high in the sky since it was already noon.

It should be a perfect time to relax and rest or have lunch, but...

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

Hei Yinghao crashed heavily onto the wall and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Fortunately, all the walls around Instructor Mei Lan's residence were already covered with several protection arrays.

If not, these walls would certainly have been destroyed already since Hei Yanghao already crashed heavily onto them so many times after he took Instructor Mei Lan's hellish training.

Hei Yinghao actually has one on one sparring battle session against Instructor Mei Lan right the moment after Tang Li Xue left the Myriad Foxes Academy to head toward Inheritance Ground Tablet until right at this moment.

Of course, Hei Yinghao was never won even once when he was sparring against Instructor Mei Lan. In fact, he even got beaten black and blue instead by Instructor Mei Lan.

"Are you deaf, idiot, or what?! I already said you must move and attack quicker! Are you already forget how do you lose to that purple-haired boy?!

" Instructor Mei Lan scolded Hei Yinghao harshly as she mercilessly threw another powerful attack toward him.

Demonic Tune, Vibration Construct... Giant Fist!

Hei Yinghao gritted his teeth to muster his strength and quickly jumped to the left side.

BBBAAAAAAAAAANGGG~!!!

The transparent Giant Fist smashed onto the wall where he leaned on before.

But before Hei Yinghao could do anything, Instructor Mei Lan's right knee was already rammed onto his chin!

BANG... BANG... BANG... BANG... BANG...

After that, Instructor Mei Lan's left knee followed up and struck Hei Yinghao's right cheek before Hei Yinghao's body could even be thrown off backward because of her attack, then Instructor Mei Lan landed other kicks to his neck, chest, and nose.

It was truly a merciless combo...

Each of Instructor Mei Lan's attacks was more than enough to knock out any cultivator at the peak of the Acupuncture Opening Stage in one strike, but she pounded Hei Yinghao's body again and again with those powerful attacks in quick succession.

"You are actually not weaker than that purple-haired boy at all, but how can you lose to him? The answer lies in the speed of his elemental compression and the mastery over divine abilities.

"

"He has already evolved into Beast Lord Level quite a long time ago, while you just evolved into Beast Lord very recently. So, he has much higher control and mastery of his divine abilities than you. The speed of his elemental compression is also already much faster, and his way of using them is much neater than yours.

"

"In short, you are still too green and inexperienced to face him! Normally, it would take several years for you to learn how to control your new divine abilities perfectly and smoothly cast elemental compression as if you are breathing.

"

"But you said you want to defeat him so badly to restore your honor in front of Little Xue, right? Is this the only extent of your resolve?!

"

Instructor Mei Lan kept scolding Hei Yinghao while kept beating him up mercilessly with her chain of combos, without even giving him any chance to breathe or retaliate.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan did not plan to kill or torture Hei Yinghao in this non-stop sparring battle session.

Instructor Mei Lan was trying to enact a life and death battle situation for Hei Yinghao in this sparring battle.

The purpose of this was to push Hei Yinghao to surpass his limit and also to let him learn how to use divine abilities and elemental compression properly directly with his body.

Rather than learning it through theories and practicing it step by step, why not just use the muscle memories to forcefully learn it, right? That was what Instructor Mei Lan trying to do right now.

Although it would be a very dangerous thing to do, but it was the only way to master something faster without learning it step by step.

Even Tang Li Xue with her system was only able to comprehend any technique in an instant, but she was still unable to master them in an instant...

To master divine abilities or martial art techniques, there was almost no other way than to train over and over again for a long time.

After the sky turned dark, Instructor Mei Lan finally let Hei Yinghao off and warned him:

"You only have one hour to rest. Come back here again after you eat your dinner and do not forget to use Little Xue's Talisman of Regeneration to recover all of your wounds.

"

"Huff… Huff…Instructor Lan… Huff… Where is… Huff… Ice Girl? Huff… Why didn't she get beaten up just like me? Cough… Cough…

" Hei Yinghao asked as he lied down on the ground and breathed heavily.

Instructor Mei Lan smirked coldly at Hei Yinghao and asked back:

"She is on vacation at the comfortable sauna right now. Why do you ask? Do you want me to send you there too?

"

Hei Yinghao's exhausted body shuddered violently when he saw Instructor Mei Lan's smirk, and he quickly shook his head like a rattle drum while looking at Instructor Mei Lan in fear and horror.

'comfortable sauna my *ss! Hahaha... Instructor Lan is giving a vacation to her student? That is one hundred percent impossible! I would never believe it even in my dream!' Hei Yinghao shouted in his mind.

When Hei Yinghao dragged his battered and exhausted body to eat his dinner and recovered his wounds, Instructor Mei Lan was also eating her dinner while contemplating.

'Sigh… Amongst the three, this silly fox is the one that makes me worry the most.'

'Little Xue may look a bit unreliable and too soft, but she is the most talented amongst them, so I do not need to worry about her at all. She is the type that can certainly grow up under any situation.'

'As for Bingbing, her talent is the worst one amongst the three, but she has a powerful determination that pushes her into the borderline of obsession. She is the type that can sacrifice anything, even her own life, to achieve what she wants. With that kind of willpower, she surely can reach a great height in the future.'

'As for this Silly Fox… His talent is much higher than Bingbing and only slightly below Little Xue… The most problematic part is that he has almost no motivation to move forward. Defeating that purple-haired boy is his only reason for training so hard now, and after defeating that purple-haired boy, he would certainly start to slack off again like before.'

Instructor Mei Lan pinched her chin and squinted her eyes after she pondered it carefully for a few moments.

An image of a silver masked guy with black hair appeared in her mind… It was Elder Yang she had met in Tang Feng City before. She also remembered that Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was actually quite close with that Elder Yang.

'It seems I need to take some drastic measure to motivate this Silly Fox again in the future...' Instructor Mei Lan thought as she smirked again.

If Hei Yinghao saw Instructor Mei Lan's smirk again, he would certainly shudder in fear and horror again like before.

…..

…

.

Instructor Mei Lan actually did not lie at all when she told Hei Yinghao that Bing Yi was 'on vacation at the comfortable sauna' right now.

Instructor Mei Lan even deliberately searched for Magma Dragon Vein and planted it under the cave before she threw Bing Yi inside it, then sealed its entrance completely with several confinement arrays.

Because of the Magma Dragon Vein, that cave became a sauna room in an instant with the temperature several thousand degrees, enough to even melt a steel plate in a few seconds.

In order for Bing Yi to survive, she must mobilize her freezing power to the maximum, but that was still far from enough to resist the extremely high temperature here!

She also must skillfully compress her freezing power to form a cold barrier around her body.

But that kind of task was too difficult for the current Bing Yi to do it right now… In fact, it was almost impossible for her to achieve that right now.

It was like forcing a baby, who hasn't learned how to walk properly yet, to run across the street.

Bing Yi's clothes were burned completely the moment when Instructor Mei Lan threw her into this cave.

Bing Yi was completely naked right now, but the scene inside the cave was far from erotic.

Bing Yi's body was already roasted by the scorching heat and horrible burnt wounds spread on all parts of her body.

Her face, chest, arm, feet, and so on already turned black like a burnt corpse.

Her breath was very weak, but her body was still emitting a faint cold chill even though she was only half-conscious right now.

In the deepest of Bing Yi's consciousness, she knew that she would really die if she completely lost consciousness in this cave.

That was the reason why she instinctively retained a sliver of her consciousness even though she was already in this condition.

The scene when she talked with Instructor Mei Lan before was flashing in her mind...

"Instructor Lan... I want to become strong! Strong enough until I can defeat my sister, Bing Shui, in the Fox Hunting Festival later! So, please help me!

" Bing Yi shouted as she kneeled and kowtowed to Instructor Mei Lan.

Instructor Mei Lan frowned deeply in displeasure and immediately replied:

"That is impossible. I can train you to become stronger, but to make you strong enough to defeat your sister in such a short time is impossible.

"

Bing Yi gnashed her teeth in hatred and anger toward Bing Shui, then said:

"But I must...

"

"Bingbing! I know what you want, but you must remember that there is no shortcut to becoming stronger.

" Instructor Mei Lan warned Bing Yi with a stern tone.
