Chapter 37 A Trivial Matter
About ten minutes after Xue Youyou and the other person left, Meng Tianxiang finally broke free of the illusion spell "Erosion of the Gods" and woke up.
With a "whoosh," Meng Tianxiang sprang to her feet, quickly scanned her surroundings, and found that she was the only one left.
Where are they?!
Meng Tianxiang angrily questioned, "Duan Du Qingming, did you let that wretched white-haired guy go?"
She was angry because her companion pet had the right to enter and exit the pet space at its own discretion.
Even if she, the beast tamer, is under the illusion spell, Duan Du Qingming, as her companion beast, can still move normally.
After hesitating for a moment, Duan Du Qingming answered truthfully, "I always felt that the snowflake's aura was quite special, and instinctively I didn't want to be her enemy."
Upon hearing Duan Du Qingming's reply, Meng Tianxiang nearly spat out blood: "You're an ultimate-level pet beast!"
"It's just dealing with a newbie. Even without my help as a beast tamer, it should be a piece of cake for you!"
"Duan Du Qingming, what are you thinking?!"
Faced with Meng Tianxiang's probing question, Duan Du Qingming remained silent for a moment before not answering directly. Instead, he asked in return, "Do you know how long you were trapped by that snowflake's illusion?"
"how long?"
"Three seconds, four seconds... five seconds?"
The flow of time in the illusion world is different from that in the real world. Even if you live a lifetime in the illusion world, it may only be a blink of an eye in reality.
Although Meng Tianxiang was not sure exactly how many seconds she had been lying down, she did not believe that a mere novice could use illusion magic to control her for more than ten seconds.
Duan Du Qingming gave the correct answer: "A total of ten minutes and twenty-seven seconds."
"...Huh?!" Upon hearing that she had been trapped by an illusion for ten minutes, Meng Tianxiang opened her mouth wide and stared blankly.
She's an ultimate beast tamer, how could she be controlled by a novice for ten minutes?
However, no matter what, Duan Du Qingming would never lie to her.
Seeing that Meng Tianxiang had finally calmed down a bit, Duan Du Qingming continued his analysis: "The girl your granddaughter brought is indeed a bit abnormal... you could even say she's eerie."
"I have never seen a novice Beastmaster remain so calm in front of an Ultimate-level beast. According to your granddaughter, the other party seems to be just a first-year student who has only recently enrolled."
"Snow-white hair and icy eyes, judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to be a local of Lanzhi City. My suggestion... we should investigate her first."
After thinking for a moment, Meng Tianxiang nodded slightly and decided to adopt Duan Du Qingming's suggestion: "Well, let's leave it at that for now."
"Anyway, that orange skill card isn't very useful... so it's not a huge loss."
Meng Tianxiang reluctantly found an excuse to convince herself not to be angry.
Upon hearing these words, Duan Du Qingming, who was in the void, showed a hesitant expression.
Just as Meng Tianxiang was about to clean up the treasure vault, she discovered that the jade platform that originally held the treasures now only had a lonely ultimate crystal core left.
The next second, a heart-wrenching scream echoed from the treasure vault.
"That damned brat, how could he even steal the essence of a divine beast?!"

Burning Heaven Academy, Team One training room.
After Lin Feiyan and her five teammates lost the 5v5 ranked match against Lan Zhiyuan's second team, they stopped thinking about continuing to play ranked matches.
Losing to the second team of a second-rate academy in an exhibition match, even with their main players on the field, cast a shadow over the five members of the Burning Heaven Academy's first team and dealt a significant blow to the team's overall morale.
After losing the match, the instructor leading the Burning Heaven Academy team immediately led Lin Feiyan and the other four to watch the recording and conduct a professional review.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit somber, the mentor comforted everyone, "Don't take it too seriously. I watched the whole game, but I just lost because I was careless."
"Actually, our strength is much greater than theirs. As long as you take it a little more seriously, we can win as many matches as we play."
Lin Feiyan gave a noncommittal "hmm".
The mentor continued his analysis: "You three successfully ambushed the enemy in the early stages by taking advantage of the information gap, quickly eliminating three of their members. That was very well done. It shows that our overall tactical skills are much higher than theirs."
"It's just that this Lan Zhiyuan's unparalleled genius is indeed much stronger than the three of you. Judging from her performance in the battle with Fei Yan, she is probably a beast tamer of the same level as Xiao Lan. There's nothing you three can do about losing to her."
Upon seeing the familiar figure in the playback video, Lin Jinlan exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn't that Meng Yanqing?"
She was the only one of the five from the Burning Heaven Academy who didn't see Meng Yanqing at all, and only saw this childhood playmate when the video was replayed and reviewed.
Upon hearing this, the instructor looked at Lin Jinlan and asked, "Do you know her?"
Lin Jinlan nodded vigorously: "When we were little, my sister and I often played with her."
Lin Feiyan explained on behalf of her younger sister, "She is the granddaughter of Lord Meng Tianxiang, the Marquis of Qingming, and Xiao Lan and I were childhood playmates."
Upon hearing this, not only was the mentor surprised, but even the other three teammates couldn't hold back their laughter.
Although they watched Lin Feiyan and the other party chatting quite warmly when they were watching the battle after their deaths, they probably knew each other for a long time. However, they did not expect that this unparalleled genius of Lanzhi Academy had such a great background. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed not unjust for her to lose to Meng Yanqing, and they felt much more at ease.
The mentor remarked with some emotion, "No wonder. I was wondering how Lanzhi Academy produced such a powerful beast tamer this year. It turns out she's the granddaughter of Lord Qingming Marquis."
"But the strangest thing is that this beast tamer named Shi Yi Xuehua actually managed to contract with the legendary super rare pet beast, the Snow Maiden. Not only that, the Snow Maiden's size is also beyond the norm."
As the instructor spoke, he zoomed in on the video showing Xue Youyou's battle with Lin Jinlan, pointed at Xue Youyou, and asked the five of them, "Does any of you know this Xue Youyou from the World's First Snow Flower?"
The mentor, who considered herself knowledgeable and well-traveled, discovered for the first time in her life that she knew almost nothing about a pet beast. She couldn't discern any clues about the origins of this mysterious snow woman, its secret techniques, or its move combinations.
This time, even Lin Feiyan fell silent and shook her head.
Just as everyone was completely confused, Lin Jinlan spoke up and said, "I encountered her in a single-pet ranking match a week ago. At that time, I was leveling up my newly contracted Phoenix Cry, and her pet was Snowflake."
"snowflake?"
The group from Burning Heaven Academy were all quite surprised to hear this. Wasn't that a very famous ornamental pet?
The instructor's eyes widened: "You mean to say that her snow woman evolved from a snowflake? If that's true, this is a discovery worthy of being recorded in history!"
Lin Jinlan nodded with certainty: "I just thought about it carefully. I specifically asked her to summon the snowflake, and then she summoned the Snow Maiden. It should be almost certain. Besides, her ID is called World's First Snowflake."
He originally wanted to get revenge, but he ended up being slapped to death.
Lin Jinlan still has psychological trauma from recalling that gigantic snow woman with terrifying eyes.
After Lin Jinlan finished expressing her guess, the third, fourth, and fifth seats of the Burning Heaven Academy began to discuss excitedly.
"She sounds like a rising star. Do you think it's possible she possesses strength comparable to the Ten Heavenly Kings?"
"Wrong. In the end, she didn't dare let the Snow Woman take the captain's attack head-on and chose to use a despicable trick, which shows that she was afraid. I think the captain is still stronger."
"But a group of trolls online are smearing the captain everywhere, saying that the captain was defeated head-on by an unknown passerby."
"Let them say whatever they want. A genius beast tamer like the captain doesn't care what those bitches think. When we meet Shi Yi Xuehua again in the league, the captain will slap them in the face."
"..."
Don't you care...?
Lin Jinlan secretly glanced at Lin Feiyan, who was listening to their conversation, and clearly saw that Lin Feiyan's fists had unconsciously clenched.
My sister clearly cares a lot!
Just then, Lin Feiyan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "Teacher."
"Hmm? Does Scarlet Flame have something to say?"
"Didn't the director of Lanzhi Academy want to arrange an offline training match with us last week?"
The mentor recalled for a moment and said, "Uh... yes, that's right. I remember the other party said they were willing to pay five purple skill cards as an appearance fee, but you said not to waste time, so I refused."
Lin Feiyan pursed her lips and said, "Call back right now and tell her we'll accept her invitation."
