Chen Mo and the others were currently 200 meters below the bottom of the Vortex Sea.
"Ding! Respected Beast Tamer, welcome to the Spiritual Realm's Penglai Mystic Realm. The time has automatically changed for you. Please take note."
A notification came from the bracelet. Chen Mo took a look and realized that it was already 11:40.
It was still 9:30 when they entered the elevator. It seemed that the time in the two worlds was not synchronized.
After entering the Mystic Realm, the elevator changed from a descending state to an ascending state.
As the elevator ascended, Chen Mo and the others quickly saw the underwater scenery outside through the sightseeing glass. Countless unknown fish swam in the sea and there were huge buildings emitting a silver-gray light around them.
First City.
The place where the people of Blue Planet took root in the Penglai Mystic Realm.
The elevator went all the way up until the first floor slowly opened.
Seeing the sunlight outside, everyone slowly caught their breath.
Chen Mo moved a little and realized that his footsteps were a little heavy.
The gravity in the Spiritual Realm was slightly greater than on the Blue Planet, but it was not much. After adapting to it for a while, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu finally adapted to this gravity.
When he walked out of the base, he saw the bustling city.
High-rise buildings that were more than a hundred meters tall could be seen everywhere. The streets were filled with traffic, subway cars, flying horses and beasts. Humans and spirit beasts lived in harmony. The prosperity could even be compared to the super big city of the Blue Planet's Dongxia.
"300 years ago, the land under your feet was still a vast sea. It was the overlord-level Dragon Turtle who carried a nearby island over. Then, with the efforts of many Beast Tamers and their spirit beasts, they built this First Island and First City."
Seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, the soldier leading them smiled and recounted First City's history.
"Your training location is on an island not far from First City. You need to take a boat there. The training will begin at 1 p.m. Everyone, hurry up!"
After a simple meal, Instructor Jiang brought the students who were training to the city gate of First City. The city gate here was similar to the one at the base, but it was taller.
At the city gate, many Beast Tamers and their spirit beasts were entering and exiting. These spirit beasts were all above the Transcendence level.
Of course, First City did not only have Beast Tamers above the beginner level. Most of them were ordinary people and beginner Beast Tamers. However, they were not allowed to leave the city.
After leaving the city, Chen Mo saw a scene similar to a large port. A few medium-sized ships were already docked on the shore and waiting. Moreover, there were all kinds of water-type spirit beasts.
After everyone boarded the ship, the ship began to head to the training island. Instructor Jiang summoned his Spirit Beast, Marshal Crab. This was the evolved form of General Crab. It was huge and was only one size smaller than the ship Chen Mo and the others were on.
Marshal Crab's Monarch level aura covered the nearby sea area, effectively preventing wild spirit beasts from crashing into the ship.
About half an hour later, Chen Mo could vaguely see a green island.
They had arrived at the training island.
"The training will last for a total of seven days. Next, I'll synchronize the map of this island and the scores of various resources and spirit beasts into your bracelets."
Before the training began, Instructor Jiang said.
"In addition, this island belongs to First City, so you can't take away the spirit beasts and resources you hunt on the island. However, the points you exchange can be exchanged for the corresponding rewards."
"Lastly, I'll remind you to be careful! Although we'll do our best to protect you, it's not absolute safety. This training is not child's play!"
"Understood!"
Everyone said in unison.
Most people were looking forward to this training.
"Now, let the training begin!"
As soon as Instructor Jiang finished speaking, the students who had formed a team in advance gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures. In the end, there were only a few lone wolves like Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was not in a hurry. He observed the map he had just obtained.
The map was very simple. It only indicated their current location and the distribution of Transcendence level spiritual beasts, as well as the location of the points for submitting resources.
"There's a river on this island. I won't have to take the risk of going to fish by the sea."
Although the training island was not big, there was a river that led from east to west.
There was also a powerful spiritual beast in the middle of the river—Ghost Face Shark, Transcendence Level 3, 300 points.
During the training period, one could obtain points by collecting spiritual materials or hunting spirit beasts. According to the level of the spirit beasts and spiritual materials, the points obtained were also different.
One point for a Level 1 spirit beast, two points for a Level 2 spirit beast and so on.
Transcendence Level 1 was 100 points, while Transcendence 2 was 200 points…
The strongest spiritual beast on the island was a level-5 Transcendence Ironback Tortoise with 500 points.
"The Ghost Face Shark usually only appears in the deep sea. The appearance of this Ghost Face Shark here is most likely one of the guarding spiritual beasts specially arranged by the military. If someone can defeat this Ghost Face Shark alone, they should be able to enter the top 10 of this training. It will definitely be him!"
Chen Mo did not hesitate and headed straight for the river.
After some twists and turns, he finally arrived near the river on the map.
During this period, Chen Mo encountered two wild spirit beasts that were interested in him. However, they were both awakening-level spirit beasts. Xiao Jiu knocked them out with a few electric balloons.
Because it was too troublesome, Chen Mo didn't even exchange them for points.
"Throw bait and fish!"
Looking at the river in front of him that was more than ten meters wide, Chen Mo took out the high-end fish food that he had prepared in advance from his spatial bracelet and generously scattered it into the river.
This kind of high-end fish food had an ingredient similar to "catmint". In any case, it would make most fish very excited.
Soon, a huge commotion came from the river.
Fish of different appearances surfaced one after another.
Thorny black fish with sharp black horns on their heads, vortex flying fish that was only found in the Vortex Sea, stardust fish, keel fish…
Most of them were spiritual fish.
Although there were also ordinary fish in the river, it was obvious that they could not compete with these spiritual fish. Under threat, they could only stay underwater obediently.
These spiritual fish had obviously seen Chen Mo on the shore, but they were all overwhelmed by the fragrance of the food and began to snatch the food crazily at this moment.
"Jiu Bao, close the net!"
"Chirp!"
Crack! Crack!
In the next second, a dark purple electric net condensed from lightning spiritual power suddenly formed in midair and quickly fell.
The moment the electric net fell, the fish that were fighting for food fled in all directions. However, the electric net was very wide and a small number of spiritual fish still did not escape.
Swoosh!
Another arc of lightning flashed.
The spiritual fish that touched the electric net were electrocuted and floated on the water.
Chen Mo and the Blazing Flame Fox quickly caught the spiritual fish that were electrocuted one by one.
While Chen Mo was fishing with the Blazing Flame Fox, a silver-gray mechanical dragonfly flew past in the air. A camera that looked like a compound eye was aimed at Chen Mo by the river.
This mechanical dragonfly was not a spirit beast, but a technological product. It carried a camera and could transmit the images of the contestants on the island to the surveillance room on the ship.
"This kid… is interesting!"
In the surveillance room, a scholarly-looking young man who was researching said.
"What a strange train of thought! He's a good seedling."
Instructor Jiang also praised.
"Looks like he was prepared. It's a plan!"
"Huh? Why did he release all these fish?"
However, in the next second, they saw a strange scene on the surveillance camera.
