Swipe, swipe, swipe!
Like falling snowflakes, the barnacles were peeled off one by one.
Witnessing this, Chen Mo felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if watching a dirty carpet being cleaned to perfection, looking brand new as if straight from the factory.
However, the Isolated Island Spirit was simply too huge, and a single electrified net wasn't enough to clear all the barnacles; several more attempts were needed.
While Xiao Jiu was assisting in removing barnacles from the Isolated Island Spirit, Chen Mo used his Space Bracelet to scan the basic information of this massive creature before him.
[Spiritual Beast Name: Isolated Island Spirit]
[Growth Level: Commander 1st Rank]
[Racial Level: Leader 9-stage]
[Description: A Water Element Spiritual Beast that resides in the depths of the ocean, yearning for romance and freedom. The "island" on its back is a part of its body and will continue to grow as the Isolated Island Spirit grows.]
After 5 consecutive electrosweeps, the barnacles on the Isolated Island Spirit's body were finally completely cleared, but its belly skin was still pockmarked and some areas were still bleeding profusely.
"Big guy, I don't have enough healing potions for this."
Although Chen Mo had brought a few tubes of healing potions, they were inadequate for treating the large Isolated Island Spirit, like a drop of water in a bucket—his intention was there, but his ability fell short.
"Woo—"
But the next moment, Chen Mo saw streaks of water brushing over the wounds of the Isolated Island Spirit, and immediately those wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Water Healing, an intermediate skill.
Soon, the skin of the Isolated Island Spirit regained its original luster, and its bright star patterns, like dazzling shooting stars, were quite beautiful.
"Woo—" (Thank you, friend!)
After clearing the barnacles off its body, the Isolated Island Spirit felt light all over, and what made it even more thrilled was—it finally found the "person" who could resonate with it in the vast ocean!
"If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."
Chen Mo just came to test out the effects of the Fishing Master, and the results were unexpectedly "good."
Now that he was almost out of fish food, he planned to continue hunting Spiritual Beasts and gathering spiritual materials on the island.
"Chirp!" (Off to make some money!)
"Woo—" (Friend, wait, this is for you.)
Hearing that Chen Mo was leaving, the deep blue eyes of the Isolated Island Spirit showed a sense of loss. It then took out a pale blue gemstone from under its tongue, washed it with a stream of water, and handed it to Chen Mo.
Vortex Gem, a rare Water Element treasure only found in deep-sea vortices. It's an important material required for the evolution of some Water Element Spiritual Beasts, and its market value is about 500,000.
Chen Mo hadn't expected that helping the Isolated Island Spirit would lead to such an unexpected reward.
Because this gemstone wasn't a spiritual material collected from the island, it meant he could claim it as his private property.
"Thank you."
Chen Mo then fed most of the remaining fish food in his Space Bracelet to the Isolated Island Spirit, waved goodbye, and prepared to leave.
"Woo—" (Will you come again tomorrow?)
The Isolated Island Spirit's voice revealed a clear sense of reluctance.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will come! Let's meet again at the same time tomorrow!"
Chen Mo thought about it; his training period was a full week, and there were only 32 Transcendent Rank Spiritual Beasts on the island. Taking a little time out each day to come here was also possible.
"Woo—"
The Isolated Island Spirit responded, then submerged into the water and slowly disappeared from sight.
Surveillance Room.
"It seems that Chen Mo's talent for Spirit Control must be Beast Speech."
"Interesting. I didn't expect this kid to make friends with an Isolated Island Spirit. It's a pity his Spiritual Space level is too low, otherwise forming a contract with this Isolated Island Spirit would have been a nice feat."
The Spirit University professor with a monocular regretfully said.
Even though they had lived in Initial City for decades and had made countless voyages to sea, they had only seen the Isolated Island Spirit a handful of times.
The potential and strength of this kind of Spiritual Beast like the Isolated Island Spirit are very formidable, and the racial level of its evolved form, the Hanhai Giant Whale, reaches as high as the Monarch High Stage.
Naturally, they also had ideas about this Isolated Island Spirit, but if they rashly attempted to capture it, they might very well scare it away.
```
Moreover, we can't be sure yet whether behind this Isolated Island Spirit could be a large family.
"I just remembered I need to pick up my daughter from school, so I'll head off first."
At that moment, the person in charge from Hongmeng Company, Chen Gong, seemed to have thought of something and suddenly spoke up.
"Old Chen, you really are a devoted father."
Someone next to him said with a laugh.
Chen Gong smiled but did not reply, only giving Chen Mo in the surveillance another look.
Perhaps... he should hurry up and tell his sister the news.
After saying goodbye to the Isolated Island Spirit, Chen Mo and He Siyao followed the map that marked the locations where Extraordinary Rank Spiritual Beasts appeared and started their search.
They were set on capturing all the lesser bosses of this experience in one go!
1 hour later.
In a cave on the island.
A spine-skinned sea lizard turned charred, encased in bubbles conjured by the Lianyan Butterfly, being dragged towards the scoring point.
1 and a half hours later.
In a certain forest on the island, a Bubble Turtle convulsed all over, its eyes vacant, already paralyzed by the lightning of the Blazing Flame Fox...
Gray Ear Bats, Crimson Octopi, Crab Soldiers...
In just half a day, all the "bosses" marked on the map in the southeast area of the island were hunted down by Chen Mo.
He Siyao's score skyrocketed to 1,600 points, temporarily taking the first position and leading by more than double that of the second place.
Of course, the second place was Chen Mo himself; he kept a portion of the points for himself.
In addition to the first-place prize money promised by He Siyao, the 300,000 prize for second place was also a considerable sum.
He wanted it all!
Among the students who came to participate in this training, aside from Chen Mo, no one could face a creature of Transcendent 3-tier or higher on their own.
If they formed a team, it would require 5 members, and all must own Extraordinary Rank Spiritual Beasts to defeat it. However, the points earned would not amount to much when divided among each person.
Of course, some teams chose to search for spiritual materials and treasures instead because some of their members' Spiritual Beasts were Treasure Hunting Mice or creatures like Fortune-Telling Cats that could track treasures.
While hunting monsters, Chen Mo also paid attention to searching for spiritual materials.
Because once he equipped the [Food Hunter], he was like a radar!
If there were any plant-based or gourmet spiritual materials within 200 meters, the DNA of his [Food Hunter] would awaken.
Vortex Mushrooms, Ice Spring Water, Fragrant Dew Grass...
All caught in one sweep!
Although he couldn't detect mineral spiritual materials, it was entirely enough.
After all, you have to leave some opportunities for others!
After a hard day's work, Chen Mo and He Siyao returned to the beach, set up tents and a barbecue grill.
Soon, the fire was lit.
They weren't worried about wild beasts encroaching.
In one word—if they came, they'd be handing out free points.
Chen Mo and the Blazing Flame Fox, holding well-prepared grilled fish and drinking cola, looked towards the sparkling sea in the distance.
The night sky of the Spirit Realm, with its two moons, was exceptionally bright—whether it's always the case or just for today.
"Cheers~"
"Chirp~"
The Blazing Flame Fox held a can of Happy Fatso Water with both paws, clinking it endearingly against Chen Mo's, the cool sea breeze blowing in, feeling utterly pleasant.
It's been grinding for so long; relaxing like this once in a while seemed pretty nice too.
He Siyao also set up a tent next to Chen Mo's. As a wealthy lady, she naturally brought space equipment for this training experience.
The soldiers on shift at the beach looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a bit emotional:
"Damn! With good food, drinks, and beautiful scenery, this guy really came for a freaking holiday!"
