In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
During this period of time, Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu had transformed into real Overachievers. They were training all the time.
Their gains were also remarkable. The little fellow's lightning-element growth level had broken through again and reached Awakening Level 8.
As for its original fire-element growth level…
Xiao Jiu expressed that even it had almost forgotten that it was a fire-type spirit beast.
The fire growth level could only wait until the next time there were attributes like [Abnormally Spicy] that increased fire attribute talent.
In terms of moves.
He had mastered intermediate-level Lightning and beginner-level Electric Web.
It should be enough to electrocute fish.
During this period, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't fall behind in the daily and weekly challenges. This weekly challenge had a very useful attribute for increasing his combat strength.
Hunter (Green)
[Attribute Effect: Increases speed and attack slightly, making it harder to be discovered when entering a concealed state.]
This hunter attribute would be very useful for the upcoming fishing plan!
However, Xiao Jiu could only equip three attributes now. Hence, after Chen Mo broke down some useless attributes, he bought another attribute from the attribute store and solidified it. He permanently solidified [Resilience] on Xiao Jiu.
—-|—-
On Sunday morning, when Chen Mo arrived at the school, he found two buses parked at the entrance.
After the students from the experimental class arrived one after another, the bus set off at eight o'clock sharp and headed for the entrance of the Spiritual Realm in Shenghai City.
When he was less than five kilometers away from the entrance, Chen Mo could no longer see any cars or people. Most of the buildings around him were already rotten and dilapidated.
This used to be a prosperous city, but after a sinkhole suddenly appeared in Yida Plaza, the residents within a five-kilometer radius were evacuated. The military had also built a military base around the sinkhole.
Soon, the bus stopped in front of a towering city wall.
The city wall was more than ten meters tall and there were thick vines wrapped around the wall. The vines were covered in thorns that stretched for hundreds of meters.
Chen Mo scanned it with his bracelet and discovered that it was a monarch level spirit beast, the Jade Blood Vine Demon.
In addition to the soldiers, there was a pea demon that was bathing in the sunlight on top of the wall and guarding the city wall every five meters.
This spirit beast was a little similar to the peashooters in Plants vs Zombies. However, they did not have eyes or exaggerated "machine guns". Their main attack method was the Flying Leaf Knife.
After entering the base, Chen Mo saw many Beast Tamers armed with live ammunition and their spirit beasts patrolling.
Most of these soldiers were Beast Tamers. The guns they were carrying were not ordinary weapons, but special spiritual guns. The spiritual bullets they shot could unleash flames, frost, lightning,and other effects. They could also pose a threat to Transcendence-level creatures.
Chen Mo and the others did not get out of the car. The form teacher, Old Bai, tirelessly nagged about the things to take note of during this training.
"Brother Chen Mo, our team is still short of one person. Do you want to join?"
At this moment, a petite girl with a bunny hair clip sitting behind Chen Mo asked.
They could form a team for this training, with a maximum of five people.
The advantage of forming a team was that they had to work together. The speed at which they obtained points would increase and their safety would also increase greatly. The disadvantage was that they had to distribute the prize.
These days, many people wanted to have Chen Mo in their team, but they didn't expect Chen Mo to stop coming to school the next day. He either didn't respond or directly rejected their WeChat invitations.
This girl wanted to use her beauty to try again before the training began.
"I'm not coming."
Chen Mo directly refused.
He came to the mystic realm mainly to electrocute fish, no, to complete the challenge of [Fishing Expert]. It was inconvenient for him to move with others.
In addition, the strongest beast on this island was only a level-5 Transcendence beast. Even if he couldn't defeat it, Chen Mo, who had many trump cards, felt that he could definitely protect himself.
With Xiao Jiu around, he could do whatever he wanted!
Soon, the students from other schools who came to train arrived one after another.
From the information Old Bai sent to the class group, Chen Mo learned that there were about 200 people in this training. Most of the spirit beasts were Awakening level and only a dozen of them had reached the Transcendence level.
Moreover, they were all Transcendence Level-1 or Level-2 spiritual beasts. Because the spiritual energy on the Blue Planet was thin, it was very difficult for Transcendence-level spiritual beasts to continue to improve on the Blue Planet.
"Those who are participating in this training, gather at the field!"
Suddenly, a strong voice came from outside the car.
The person who shouted was the chief instructor of this training, Jiang Cheng. He was an officer from the base in Shenghai City.
After everyone got out of the car, they quickly gathered. After Chen Mo stood properly, he realized that the people around him would look at him from time to time.
Although he was wearing a cap, the Blazing Flame Fox on his shoulder still exposed him.
After the Young Eagle Cup competition was broadcasted, Chen Mo and his Blazing Flame Fox quickly became the topic of discussion among the students of various schools. Now that they saw him in person, their gazes were naturally curious.
"Everyone should already know the general content of this training, so I won't repeat it again."
After everyone gathered, Instructor Jiang began to speak.
"I'll say a few simple words. Remember! This training is not a trip, nor is it an outing! It's an important process for you to become mature Beast Tamers. Although we will ensure your safety to the greatest extent, there have been many students who encountered accidents during the training in the past years. For example, they disappeared after leaving the island or they were poisoned to death or they panicked when they encountered a powerful spirit beast and did not have time to press the button to call for help.
"Therefore, remember to press the distress button on your belt whenever you encounter danger. Don't challenge spirit beasts that are far stronger than your own spirit beasts! You only have one life, and there's no chance for you to make a mistake. If you understand, follow my soldiers to the mystic realm in order!"
Instructor Jiang's voice was very powerful.
Everyone was divided into groups of 20 and led by the soldiers to the entrance of the Spiritual Realm.
Chen Mo happened to be in the first group and followed the soldier in front. They quickly arrived in front of a sinkhole. In the middle of the sinkhole, two science fiction-style elevators immediately attracted everyone's curious gazes.
Chen Mo could not help but think of the space elevator in the last movie he had seen before he transmigrated.
These two elevators were made of special materials and were currently the bridge connecting the two worlds.
Of course, if there were water-type spirit beasts, they could also jump down directly. The other end of this spatial passageway was the depths of the sea.
"Chirp!" (I'm so scared! ≥_≤)
After Xiao Jiu got into the elevator, it looked down through the transparent glass window and saw that it was pitch-black, like a bottomless abyss. This made the little thing so afraid that it buried its head in Chen Mo's arms.
"Jiu Bao, turns out you're afraid of heights!"
Chen Mo smiled and hugged the little fellow in his arms tightly.
"Chirp!" (Of course not!)
Xia Jiu said stubbornly, but it was unwilling to open its eyes.
After the elevator door closed, it began to descend rapidly.
After the deep darkness was a colorful spatial passageway.
After passing through the dazzling spatial passage, Chen Mo's vision was occupied by a dark blue color. The elevator's floor number changed from -30 to -101.
At this moment, they had already arrived at the Spiritual Realm.
