Chen Mo was led to She Lei's office by Lin Lan.
On the way, Chen Mo's thoughts ran wild.
He had joined the Thunderbolt Gymnasium for more than two weeks, but the number of times he had seen the owner could be counted on one hand. He did not know why the owner had called him over this time.
Could it be that he had previously promoted the gym and attracted a large number of members so the gym owner wanted to reward him?
Pushing open the door, Chen Mo realized that the gym owner's office was decorated rather elegantly. The desk and chairs were all made of mahogany and the wall was hung with calligraphy written by the owner himself. The background behind the desk was actually a small rockery. It had an ancient charm.
He did not expect Gym Owner She, this bald man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so particular.
"Xiao Mo, you're here. Sit!"
Seeing Chen Mo, She Lei revealed a smile.
"I came to find you today mainly to ask if you want to acknowledge me as your master?"
While making tea for Chen Mo, She Lei asked with a smile. He was straightforward.
After two weeks of secret observation, She Lei had already approved of Chen Mo's character.
There were not many young people who were so talented, hardworking and grateful.
"It's a type of spiritual tea. After drinking it, it can increase the effect of meditation."
Gym Owner She introduced.
When they heard that it was spirit tea, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu hurriedly took a sip.
Everything that was free was the best!
"Master, I also want to be your disciple. Eldest Senior Brother and Senior Brother Pi Li have been taking good care of me these days. I also like the atmosphere of the gym. However, I just signed a contract with the Hongmeng Company not long ago. I'm afraid I won't be able to join the Thunderbolt Gymnasium."
Chen Mo said regretfully.
To be honest, the Thunderbolt Gymnasium had helped Chen Mo a lot. Just the lightning training ground that had been free for so long had helped Chen Mo save a lot of money.
If he had not joined Hongmeng Company, Chen Mo would have been happy to join the Thunderbolt Gymnasium.
"Child, this is not a conflict. Joining the Hongmeng Company is just a job and becoming a disciple is your choice. I, an old man, won't give you money. A few of your senior brothers and sisters have also joined large companies or the Beast Tamer Bureau. As long as you acknowledge me as your master and follow the rules of the gym, it's fine."
"Then I do, Master."
Chen Mo changed his words.
It could be said that in the past two weeks, Thunderbolt Gymnasium had given him a kind of warmth as if he was at home. The senior brothers and sisters here were not bad and he could even freeload on the training ground and moves.
What reason could there be to refuse?
"Very good. From now on, you are my ninth disciple."
She Lei smiled.
"Chirp?"
Upon hearing the number 'nine', Xiao Jiu's ears twitched. This little fellow was very sensitive to the number 'nine'.
Good lord, his master had also become Xiao Jiu.
"Our gym doesn't have a lot of formalities.. In the following time, I'll teach you Thunderbolt Gymnasium's true ultimate technique—Instant Thunder Nine Strikes. Your Blazing Flame Fox can't be led astray by Pi Li, that kid. You have to know that instant kills are the greatest romance for lightning-type spirit beasts.""
"Uh-uh."
Chen Mo nodded repeatedly.
It was indeed a happy thing to crazily stack defense and see the other party helpless because they could not break through his defense.
However, if he could hide his high explosive power and high agility trump cards on the basis of his powerful defense, he would be even happier!
"The complete Instant Thunder Nine Strikes is a Transcendence-level skill. Your spirit beast is only at the Awakening-level now, so you can only start from the most basic Instant Thunder Flash. In addition, the Instant Thunder Nine Strikes is a unique move that can't be taught to outsiders. Remember not to teach it to outsiders!"
It was rare for She Lei to be so serious.
There were three main ways to learn moves.
The first was an innate move, a move that spirit beasts were born with or mastered during the awakening and evolution process.
The second was a teaching technique that could be mastered by other spirit beasts.
The third was to comprehend moves. Spirit beasts would train themselves, improve with the help of Beast Tamers or create a unique move.
"I understand, Master!"
Chen Mo replied respectfully.
She Lei summoned his spirit beast. Like Lin Lan, it was also a Jingzhe, but its size and pressure were even more shocking.
Chen Mo secretly scanned it with his bracelet and discovered that its growth level was actually Commander Level 9. It had already reached the limit of the race level.
If he wanted to improve in the future, he could only evolve.
However, in Chen Mo's impression, Jingzhe didn't seem to have evolved. In other words, his master's Jingzhe would very likely be stuck at Commander Level 9 for the rest of his life.
"The Instant Thunder Flash is a prerequisite move for the Instant Thunder Nine Strikes. It requires one to erupt with lightning-like speed in a short period of time, so the physical fitness requirements for spirit beasts are very high…"
Similar to Lin Lan's teaching method, She Lei first briefly explained the theoretical knowledge before letting Jingzhe demonstrate.
The Instant Thunder Flash was very difficult to learn. Although it was only the prerequisite move of the Instant Thunder Nine Strikes, it was still an advanced-level lightning-element move.
After equipping Lightning King, Xiao Jiu's comprehension of lightning-type moves was already very outstanding.
Even so, under Jingzhe's patient guidance, Xiao Jiu spent a day learning this move.
"As expected, its talent is astonishing."
She Lei was already very satisfied with this. Among his other disciples, the fastest to master this move was Lin Lan's Jingzhe. It took three days to officially master it.
In the end, for the sake of his next "electrocuting fish" plan, Chen Mo shamelessly asked She Lei to teach Xiao Jiu to use a few ranged lightning-type moves.
When Gym Owner She found out that Chen Mo's goal in learning the moves was to electrocute the fish, he felt a little annoyed. However, he still asked Jingzhe to teach Xiao Jiu the electric net and the lightning.
In the next few days, in order to better deal with the dangers he might encounter during the training and live a more comfortable life in the following training, Chen Mo prepared a lot of things.
First, he borrowed a 10-square-meter space bracelet from Lin Lan.
Although there were magical items like spatial storage equipment in this world, they were not cheap. For example, Eldest Senior Brother's spatial bracelet cost more than 1 million yuan.
Chen Mo definitely couldn't afford it now.
Then, Chen Mo added another wave of delicacies that could quickly trigger the effect of [Gourmet Hunter].
In addition to honey milk candy, Chen Mo added a dried fish called Deep Sea Silver Fish based on his many experiences.
This was a type of small fish that lived in the Spiritual Realm. Although it was not a spiritual fish, it was extremely delicious. After special cooking and the usage of the "Freshness Preservation" move of the gourmet spirit beast, it almost retained the texture of the freshly cooked pot.
After using it, the effect was almost twice that of honey milk candy!
Honey milk candy was about to be rid of as the prize money entered his account.
Then, there were some miscellaneous items, such as chargers that supported the charging of electric-type spirit beasts, bread and meat slices that made giant burgers, stinky tofu that triggered the effect of the [Smelly Tofu Enthusiast], as well as various healing and detoxifying potions…
Finally, there was a barbecue grill and many seasonings.
Unlike most Beast Tamers who could only eat dry rations in the wild, Xiao Jiu was a fire-elemental spirit beast. Although it had only mastered Spark move, roasting meat was nothing!
