Although Xiao Jiu can currently equip only three attributes, during combat Chen Mo can switch them based on various needs.
For instance, equip [Agility] during offense, and switch to [Tough Skin][Strong] when defense is needed, there will be more choices as the attributes increase in the future.
Of course, having attributes alone is not enough; mastering skills is needed to achieve better results.
Chen Mo was worrying about where Xiao Jiu, after awakening the Electric attribute, could learn skills!
It would be great if he could mooch some skills and training space for free at the Thunderbolt Daoist School.
"Let's cut to the chase! Young man, I haven't asked your name yet?"
"Chen Mo, you can call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Mo."
"Then I'll call you Xiao Mo. You can attend classes at the school starting tomorrow. Today, you can follow your senior brother to familiarize yourself with our school, She Pili, this task is yours."
Master She said to a youth next to him who was dressed in white Daoist school attire, around his 20s, with artist-style long hair.
"Surname She, could he be the son or grandson of Master She?"
Chen Mo mused silently, not overly concerned.
He possessed a manual for attribute training; as long as he quietly developed, he would eventually climb to the peak and didn't need to deliberately please anyone.
"Last week I took a stroll in the Spirit Realm and happened to pick up some small items in Thunderbolt Canyon, this Condensed Thunder Stone can be a gift for our meeting!"
Saying so, She Lei took out a stone shimmering with silver light from his Space Bracelet.
Condensed Thunder Stone, a rare resource, only found in mountain ranges where thunderstorms are constant, containing dense Electric Spiritual Power, which can accelerate the growth of electric type Spiritual Beasts at both Awakened Stage and Extraordinary Stage.
The market price for one ranges from 30k to 100k.
"Thanks for your generous gift, Master, but this is too valuable, I cannot accept it."
Chen Mo expressed his gratitude.
"Hey, it's all small stuff, not worth much, just take it! Alright, I must go now, Pili, you show Xiao Mo around first!"
Master She didn't say much and left after confirming Chen Mo's joining of the school.
"Junior Brother Chen, shall I take you around first? Or do you want to practice a bit more?"
After She Lei left, She Pili who was initially standing tall and chest out, instantly slumped, his tone lazy as if he hadn't fully woken up.
"Senior Brother, my Spiritual Beast just grasped the awakened skills, I want to check it out first."
Awakened skills, also considered a type of innate skill, as the Spiritual Beast awakens new attributes, they randomly master new attribute skills.
"No rush, take your time, I'll wait for you."
After saying that, She Pili sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was meditating or actually fell asleep.
Xiao Jiu learned a total of 3 awakened skills: Thunderclaw, Thunder Shadow, and Electric Shot.
One melee, one long range, and one special, all three skills are low-level.
"Come on! Show them!"
"Chirp!"
Xiao Jiu first released Thunderclaw, its claws emitting dazzling purple lightning.
The claws swiftly slashed through the air, like a streak of purple blade light flashing by, and ultimately, Blazing Flame Fox's claws slammed onto the ground, the purple lightning instantly exploded, turning into flashing arcs.
Although it's a low-level skill, its power is quite impressive.
After performing Thunder Shadow, it can increase its own speed, and Electric Shot involves shooting a fist-sized ball of lightning at the opponent.
With these 3 skills, Blazing Flame Fox finally has real combat capability.
And after equipping [Thunderbolt King], all the electric type skills Xiao Jiu performs receive an enhancement, even the beginners have power close to mastering level.
"Senior Brother, I'm done."
After practicing the new skills, Chen Mo approached She Pili.
"Oh, that was quick?"
She Pili opened his slightly confused eyes, still speaking in a lazy tone.
It seemed like this senior brother was indeed just sleeping, and even managed to fall asleep amidst such a noisy environment. Who knows what he did last night.
"The Thunder Training Field and the exterior of the Daoist School are all too familiar to you. Let's go take a tour inside!"
She Pili stood up, his body swaying a bit, looking unsteady.
"Are you alright, senior brother?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine, follow me!"
She Pili took Chen Mo back inside the venue and stood in front of a metal door. After entering his fingerprint, the door slowly opened.
"The inner Daoist School is a training ground for members and internal disciples. I'll register your fingerprint later, follow me!"
Chen Mo followed closely.
The interior of the Daoist School was roughly equal in size to the exterior, but its facilities were more complete.
There were standard competition arenas, various training equipment, a field for training Electric Type Spiritual Beasts, a meditation room, and a small medical room.
At this moment, there were very few people inside the Daoist School. Chen Mo glanced around and only saw two people, both dressed in the Thunderbolt Daoist School's white training attire.
These two seemed to be dueling with spiritual beasts.
In the center of the arena, an Electric Sheep standing as tall as a man with a golden bell on its chest and a Single-Horned Silver Wolf covered in a silvery coat, each occupied a corner of the arena.
Electric arcs flickered around the Electric Sheep, with its Electric Spiritual Power forming bowl-sized golden thunderbolts that constantly struck at the Single-Horned Silver Wolf. The wolf, extremely fast at dodging, moved quickly and burst into a series of afterimages, evading every bolt of lightning.
However, for some unknown reason, it did not counterattack.
Both beasts were at the Extraordinary Level, and the intensity of their battle was incomparable to any previous Awakened Stage Spiritual Beast matches.
"Senior Brother She and Senior Sister Liu are doing combat training. The Electric Sheep is practicing accuracy and speed of its thundering moves, while the Single-Horned Silver Wolf is training its reaction speed and agility."
"Chirp!"
Watching the intense duel between the two Extraordinary Spiritual Beasts in the arena, Xiao Jiu was thrilled.
It also wanted a fiery battle!
"Senior brother, are there any beasts with similar strength to Xiao Jiu?"
Xiao Jiu hadn't experienced a real battle yet, and Chen Mo was also feeling itchy to find an equally matched opponent for a spar.
"All the senior brothers and sisters' spiritual beasts here start at the Extraordinary Rank. There are people in the membership class who are about your level. But it's the weekend today, and they haven't come. Moreover, your spiritual beast has just awakened. My advice is to attend more technique training classes, learn a few more moves before doing combat training."
She Pili said.
At that moment, the training duel between the Electric Sheep and the Single-Horned Silver Wolf had just ended. The Electric Sheep's Spirit Master, a short-haired woman in a tank top with a broad chest, saw Chen Mo and She Pili and greeted them with a smile:
"Thunder Brother, did Master take on a new disciple?"
"No, I'm just a member of the Daoist School right now, and Senior Brother She is showing me around."
Chen Mo replied.
The members of the Thunderbolt Daoist School are divided into two parts: formal disciples, the apprentices of Master She Lei, and members, Spirit Masters who pay to learn techniques and improve the strength of their spiritual beasts.
Chen Mo was essentially getting a free membership.
"Wow! What a cute little fox, come to sister's arms!"
The short-haired senior sister saw the Blazing Flame Fox and lit up. She ran over and picked up Xiao Jiu, rubbing it affectionately a couple of times.
Indeed, no girl could resist Xiao Jiu's charm.
"Chirp~"
"Meh!"
On the side, the Electric Sheep, seeing this scene, turned its head away, bleating indignantly.
It had just fought so hard, and in a blink, its own Spirit Master went off to cuddle another spiritual beast.
Really, love does disappear, doesn't it?
