Chapter 340: The Mirror Sage's Prank! Illusion and Reality!
Chapter 340: The Mirror Sage's Prank! Illusion and Reality!
Li Shu sat on the ground. He wasn't an ordinary person, having followed Su Ping and seen many things. After a brief moment of panic and fear, he quickly regained his composure.
The current situation was indeed as Bai Cang had said earlier - he seemed to have entered a world created by the Reflection Mirror. Could it be that the mirror was offended by his earlier comment that it wasn't scary? Li Shu didn't know, but now he had to make the best of the situation. From the message he received earlier, Zhao Qingqing and the others had found the exit, and if he didn't leave, he would be in big trouble.
"Mirror Brother, who's playing a prank on me? I'm Su Ping's student and Miss Dong's number one supporter! Since you're from the Dong Family, we're like family, so it's okay to play a joke. But I have things to attend to..."
Li Shu shouted around him. The creature hiding in the mirror must be watching him. Li Shu was clever and knew when to yield and when to be tough. This time, he had to be tough.
However, the empty Mirror Corridor remained silent, without a single sound. Just as Li Shu was about to lose hope, waiting for Su Ping to discover him or be devoured by the mirror, a footstep echoed from a distance.
Li Shu's heart skipped a beat. Even if it was an enemy, as long as it was something tangible, it was better than the current situation.
But what happened next was beyond his expectations. The figure that appeared at the end of his vision, where the footsteps came from, made him freeze:
"Bai Cang? How did you get here?"
"I could ask you the same thing! Li Shu, how did you end up here?"
The person who arrived was indeed a stunned Bai Cang.
"What the hell is this place? Get me out of here! I don't want to tour your crappy Reflection World. When I get out, you'll regret it!"
Li Shu was furious, looking at the culprit in front of him. However, Bai Cang just smiled wryly:
"If I could get out, I would have done so already?"
Li Shu's anger turned to suspicion: "What do you mean? You said earlier..."
His words trailed off as his expression changed to shock: "You mean to say..."
Bai Cang nodded:
"I don't know what happened, but I was trapped in this mirror world. The Ghost House-like realm I created seems to have attracted a powerful and eerie Companion Beast! It trapped me here and created another, extremely realistic me in the real world, with my identity, abilities, and even my Companion Beast!"
Li Shu's eyes widened in terror as he realized the severity of the situation. He had thought it was just a prank, but now it seemed more complicated.
"So, when I entered, it will create a fake me in the real world, interacting with Su Ping and even my parents?"
"Probably," Bai Cang replied.
Li Shu was stunned, but quickly regained his composure:
"I trust Su Ping; he'll definitely discover something's off! He knows me well, and he'll find the imposter!"
Bai Cang looked at Li Shu with a quirky expression, thinking that Li Shu was overestimating Su Ping. But to amuse himself, he shook his head:
"Su Ping is indeed exceptional, but this isn't a monster possessing your body; it's a replica created by the mirror, complete with memories, consciousness, wisdom, and even soul. The replica doesn't even know it's a fake! Do you think others can discover it?"
Li Shu's face turned pale. Then, Bai Cang continued:
"However, I've discovered a weakness in this mirror world during my time here."
Li Shu's eyes lit up with hope as he looked at Bai Cang:
"Old Bai, if we get out, we'll be brothers who've been through thick and thin together!"
Bai Cang smiled wryly:
"Listen to me first. This mirror world is a completely simulated world. The monster behind it hasn't killed us because it's slowly absorbing our powers, which is why we can't summon our Companion Beasts. If one of us dies here, the mirror world will fluctuate, and we can escape through the gap between this world and reality."
Li Shu understood why Bai Cang was acting this way.
"This..."
"Don't worry, I've prepared myself. You're Su Ping's best friend and most trusted person. If I escape, Su Ping won't let me off easily."
In the Mirror Realm, Li Shu was utterly bewildered by what he was experiencing, wondering if he was still in reality or if he was dreaming. The situation unfolding before him left him no time to ponder, and he could only nod silently.
"Good, remember this! Once you exit the Mirror World, run straight ahead, and you'll find the exit!"
Li Shu didn't have time to question why things had turned out this way or why these strange, abstract events were occurring. Less than ten minutes after Bai Cang had appeared, he resolutely plunged the dagger into his chest.
The gush of crimson blood startled Li Shu, causing his eyes to redden. As Bai Cang had foretold, the previously solid mirror surface began to tremble and shake.
Bai Cang, bleeding and struggling, managed to say, "Go... now... run!"
"Don't forget... don't let that impostor... or the one behind him... get away."
Li Shu, despite finding the situation bizarre, was also moved by the tragic atmosphere. Unlike the typical dramatic behavior seen in TV dramas, he didn't hesitate. With tears welling up in his eyes, he said, "Old Bai, I owe you my life. Rest assured!"
Without a second thought, Li Shu charged towards the illusory mirror surface.
As expected, the solid mirror surface vanished, and Li Shu dared not look back, fearing he might waste the chance at life that Bai Cang had sacrificed himself to create.
He ran forward without hesitation.
Finally, he reached the entrance he had entered earlier. He ran out, arriving at the door marked 'Reflection World'.
The world of countless mirrors, blending reality and illusion, completely disappeared behind him.
He finally found the courage to turn around, but the Mirror World had already vanished from sight, leaving only the closed automatic sensor door behind him, as if nothing had ever happened.
It was like a demon devouring its prey, spitting out the bones, and then continuing its slumber.
"Old Bai!"
At that moment, Li Shu let out a mournful cry, his eyes brimming with large tears.
Although he was an avid online surfer, he was also a bona fide Breeder who had awakened his abilities just last year. He had never experienced such a heart-wrenching farewell before.
In real life, it's rare to maintain composure in such emotionally charged situations.
Li Shu's eyes hardened with determination:
"I'll avenge you! That damn impostor, I won't let them get away!"

Li Shu turned his gaze towards the train station.
Guan Meizi and Qing Jie had both mentioned that Ping Ge had finished, and the impostor was likely still pretending in front of Ping Ge. He never imagined he would escape from this situation.
For the first time in his life, Li Shu felt a palpable killing intent.
However, as he boarded the train back to the 'Graveyard Shrine', in the Reflection World, Bai Cang had already stood up within the mirror, and the blood and wounds on his body had disappeared without a trace.
Then, Bai Cang's body transformed, and a pink-haired, twin-tailed, anime-style girl took his place. Her gaze seemed to reflect everything through the mirror, capturing Li Shu's reactions in her eyes.
A mischievous smile played on her lips:
"Who can truly distinguish between reality and illusion in the Mirror Realm? Human emotions are such fascinating things. Perhaps the Mirror Realm's inability to perfectly replicate a true 'person' is the reason for this."
"When I can truly reflect a person, I will become the true legend. But will that lone wolf like this way of greeting?"
...
Su Ping sat on a coffin in the Graveyard Shrine, having spent two days with Qian Yi and the origami figures. He had summoned them for a reason:
"Where's Li Shu?"
The four of them were helpless, and Guan Lilili recounted what had happened in the Reflection World, leaving Su Ping speechless:
"This guy... never mind. I'll talk to him later. I called you here to arrange for your breeding tasks. While you're with me, in the All-Spirit Heart, you'll naturally learn some breeding techniques."
Among them, Li Shu and Lilili had already been there for half a year. In fact, I rarely teach students.
Action: - "Those foundational theories are something you should all be familiar with, so I won't waste time on them. I'll only teach you the most practical aspects of breeding. The most practical aspect of breeding studies is the cultivation of skills and evolution, so I'll directly provide you with these aspects in the fields you wish to explore, and let you research them on your own."
- "If you have any questions or other ideas, feel free to come to me! But remember, the breeding methods of others, whether it's the skills I give you or the evolution of other evolutionary forms, are all based on the experiences of others."
- "A true breeder learns from the experiences of others and then summarizes their own findings and achievements. That's the essence of being an advanced breeder."
- "Yes!"
- The four of them obediently responded.
- Su Ping glanced at the four of them and then turned to Zhao Qingqing.
- "Qingqing, your companion beast is a Forest Wolf and a Cloud-Patterned Python. Let's focus on the python's training. Coincidentally, I have an ancient skill for snake pets called 'Snake Swallowing Elephant'. Go and study it. After you complete the breeding, show it to me, and then I'll give you the breeding method for the Cloud-Winged Wood Dragon..."
- Zhao Qingqing excitedly stepped forward, feeling like a disciple seeking the ultimate manual from a master in an ancient sect.
- Hmm... If this 'ultimate manual' was a traditional bound book instead of the small USB drive in front of her, it would be even better.
- "Lily, this is the breeding method for the Thorn Wolf. Qingqing probably knows a lot about it too. Continue to delve deeper into the breeding of the Forest Wolf. When I breed Qingqing's Forest Wolf into the Thousand Trees Wolf and cultivate the 'Solar Heart', you can come with me."
- As soon as he said this, Guan Lili's eyes lit up.
- Even Zhao Qingqing, who was standing beside her, felt a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
- However, Zhao Qingqing and Ding Xiaolong quickly clenched their fists, following this teacher who didn't seem like a peer at all. He truly had a promising future!
- "Xiaolong, you know that I don't have much understanding of fire attributes or Flame Wolves, so I can't promise you much right now. This is the breeding method for the Lava Giant Wolf that Teacher Liu gave me yesterday. Study it, and when there's a suitable opportunity, I'll think of you."
- Ding Xiaolong wasn't disappointed. He had just arrived, and the fact that he received such attention was probably due to Ding Yan's connection. He was already content.
- Finally, Su Ping looked at Bai Cang, and Su Ping couldn't help but rub his temples in exasperation.
- "Bai Cang, I do have achievements in undead breeding, and I can tell you directly that this is an even greater achievement than the Thousand Trees Wolf and Solar Heart. However, because of this, there are non-disclosure agreements and other reasons why I can't teach you right now."
- Bai Cang's eyes dimmed a little, but he quickly spoke up.
- "Teacher Su, you don't have to worry about that. It's only right. I'll continue to work hard!"
- Looking at this guy who was two years older than him calling him 'Teacher', Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed.
- "Don't worry. This confidentiality won't last too long. Moreover, in a couple of months, or at most four months, after the professional examination during the summer vacation, the only undead breeder in our Dragon Kingdom, Master Yin Luo Yin, will visit the All-Spirit Heart to discuss something with me. He will likely stay there for a while."
- As soon as he said this, the four of them gasped.
- An undead breeder?
- The only undead breeder in the Dragon Kingdom?
- The weight of this title conveyed the significance of this person.
Action: - The weight of this title is enough to show how heavy this title is.
- Bai Cang subconsciously straightened his body.
- The person in front of him was a real big shot!
- "Okay..."
- Su Ping smiled slightly, just about to let them go back to their studies, when suddenly, rapid footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
- Li Shu finally arrived, and Su Ping looked at him speechless.
- As expected, the door was pushed open.
- Li Shu appeared at the door, panting heavily.
- However, before Su Ping could say anything, he noticed that Li Shu's expression was off.
- Li Shu's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared coldly at Bai Cang in front of him.
- This gaze was unfamiliar.
- "Old Li, you finally..."
- However, before Bai Cang could finish his sentence, Li Shu interrupted him with a flash of light.
- The Sixth-Rank Elite, Luozi Songzi, appeared.
- Li Shu pointed at Bai Cang and shouted angrily.
- "Songzi, blast this impostor to death! Avenge the real Old Bai!"
- As soon as he said this, Bai Cang was stunned, Guan Lili was stunned, Zhao Qingqing and Ding Xiaolong were stunned, and even Su Ping didn't react in time.
- What was this guy talking about?
- Only at this moment, the pink-haired, twin-tailed girl in the Shadow World, watching through the Heavens Reflection Mirror, burst into laughter, savoring the feeling of human emotions and the joy of a successful prank.
