"Thunder King... This entry's effect is ridiculous. It directly grants a Spiritual Beast a lightning attribute and can enhance the power of electric skills. But enduring 10 lightning strikes at once, who can withstand that?"
Seeing the entry's effect, Chen Mo was intrigued, but upon seeing the challenge requirements, his enthusiasm quickly cooled.
"Wait a minute, if I choose 'Thick Skin' for the daily challenge, wouldn't it slightly increase the possibility? And this is a world with Extraordinary Power, there might be many things that can reduce the potency of the lightning strikes."
Chen Mo seemed to have thought of something; this challenge wasn't impossible to complete!
This challenge didn't say you couldn't use external objects!
After some searching, he quickly found what he wanted online.
[Insulating Protective Suit], a type of clothing designed specifically for Spirit Masters with Electric Type Spiritual Beasts, which can negate most of the lightning damage.
Many Electric Type Spiritual Beasts need to cultivate in thunderstorm environments, so if Spirit Masters want to accompany them, they must wear special material clothing, namely[Insulating Protective Suit], otherwise, it's hard to endure the power of thunder.
Although a single protective suit isn't cheap, Chen Mo doesn't have to buy one; he can directly rent it!
Usually, the training grounds for Electric Type Spiritual Beasts offer protective suit rental services, which also solves the problem of finding a thunderstorm location!
Besides that, Chen Mo also found many potions and treasures that can reduce lightning damage.
After the fusion of the two worlds, many research companies related to Spiritual Beasts sprang up.
After years of development, various potions and biotechnology emerged one after another.
For instance, there is the stone potion developed by Jingwei Company, mainly made from the powder of the Wilderness Rock Snake's body, and after use, the body becomes temporarily hard, significantly increasing resistance to lightning attacks.
Additionally, scrolls that can release rock armor and defensive spells, and treasures like Thunder Stone that absorb lightning, can also allow Spirit Masters to remain unharmed in thunderstorm environments, although they're quite expensive.
Gazing at the array of treasures, Chen Mo's eyes sparkled, feeling more and more that the plan could work.
Of course, the specific implementation of the plan needs careful planning.
You can't risk people or beasts trying to gain an entry.
"Think ahead; first, let's form a contract!"
Chen Mo snapped out of his thoughts; seeing that Xiao Jiu was nearly done eating, he returned to his room and took out a parchment from a locked drawer, engrained with complex silver patterns.
The soul contract is used for Spirit Masters to establish a contract with Spiritual Beasts.
It's said that in the Ancient Era of the Spirit Realm, the living conditions for humans were harsh, with fierce beasts and monsters running rampant.
After who knows how many generations of effort, the ancestors of humanity created this miraculous contract, allowing them to establish contracts with Spiritual Beasts, harnessing them to enhance their strength.
The one Chen Mo holds is a low-grade equal contract, only capable of binding with Awakening Level Spiritual Beasts.
"If you're ready, let's begin!"
"Chirp!"
The little fox was already impatient.
Chen Mo entered a meditation state, manipulating his spiritual power with his mind, as starlight-like spiritual power converged in his palm, then infused into the soul contract.
With the "infusion" of Chen Mo's spiritual power, the silver patterns on the parchment seemed to come alive, quickly flowing and finally forming a complex, magical array-like pattern.
"Your turn."
Chen Mo opened his eyes and said.
"Chirp?"
The little fox looked bewilderedly at the "soul contract" in front of him.
What if it's the first time forming a contract with a human and has no experience?
Waiting online, pretty urgent!
"Just place your paw on the contract."
"Chirp!" (Got it!)
Xiao Jiu obediently placed his paw on the parchment, and instantly, a gentle white light burst out from the point of contact between his paw and the parchment, and he felt an invisible force wrap around him.
Instinctively, he wanted to retract his paw, but Chen Mo's voice then came to his ears.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."
Hearing Chen Mo's gentle voice, the little fox's body gradually relaxed.
Soon, the white light around disappeared without a trace, and the silver patterns on the soul contract became very dim.
"Chirp?" (Did the contract succeed?)
In Chen Mo's ears or perhaps his heart suddenly came a soft and cute voice.
"It succeeded, my name is Chen Mo, please take care of me in the future."
The feeling of completing a contract with a Spiritual Beast is quite marvelous, at this moment, Chen Mo can clearly feel the little fox's emotions and inner fluctuations.
"Chirp?" (Doesn't seem to feel any different?)
Xiao Jiu carefully checked his body for changes; besides feeling that Chen Mo smelled "better" and wanted to be closer, it seemed... there was no other change.
"To become strong, you'll still need your own efforts and training. Don't worry, I'll help you with a training plan and put you on the path to becoming stronger!"
"Chirp!" (Okay!)
After establishing the contract, every growth in Xiao Jiu's strength can feedback a portion to Chen Mo, enhancing Chen Mo's spiritual power, while Chen Mo's Spiritual Space can also accelerate the little fox's cultivation speed.
With the contract established, Chen Mo received basic information about Xiao Jiu.
[Spirit Beast: Blazing Flame Fox]
[Attribute: Fire Element]
[Growth Level: Awakening Second Stage]
[Species Level: Awakened Ninth Rank]
[Mastered Moves: Ember (Uninitiated)]
[Available Entry Slots: 3]
Spiritual Beast levels are divided into Awakening, Extraordinary, Leader, King, Overlord, and Totem in ascending order based on spiritual power.
The growth level is the current development status of the Spiritual Beast, directly linked to combat power, while the species level is the theoretical maximum level a Spiritual Beast can reach, also known as potential level.
"..."
Seeing Xiao Jiu's panel, Chen Mo was a bit speechless.
He knew Xiao Jiu's talent was somewhat poor, but he didn't expect it to be this thorough.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to break through the Awakened Stage in a lifetime!
The species level of ordinary Blazing Flame Fox is at least Extraordinary Ninth Rank!
And the only "mastered" skill is an uninitiated Ember, which is almost no better than a blank slate.
"Chirp?" (Then when do we start training?)
Having just completed the contract, Xiao Jiu was very excited, circling Chen Mo eagerly, already impatient to begin training.
It believes that with Chen Mo's help, its strength will definitely grow by leaps and bounds.
I, little fox, am going to stand tall!
"Don't rush, our training method is rather special. I will first visit Grandma, then take you to the Spirit Control Bureau to register your information, and then to the department store to buy some living essentials and training equipment. Jiu Bao, you should first go back to the Spiritual Space to practice!"
"Chirp!" (All right!)
A crimson Summoning Array, representing the fire element, appeared beneath the Blazing Flame Fox's feet, and its figure soon appeared in Chen Mo's Spiritual Space.
"Chirp?"
Inside the Spiritual Space, the little fox felt something peculiar; although the space wasn't large, it provided a sense of peace and comfort.
Moreover, it could see the situation outside; this sensation was akin to squeezing into the Spirit Master's body.
Wait a minute, perhaps it really was like squeezing into the Spirit Master's body!
