"Wait a second, this isn't a Monarch Stage Spiritual Beast's Crystal Core."
Chen Meng, standing to the side, looked at the deep blue Crystal Core that the Isolated Island Spirit presented, her face showing a trace of surprise for the first time.
"Isn't it a damaged Monarch Stage Crystal Core?"
"This is a fragment of a Crystal Core from a top Overlord or an even more powerful Spiritual Beast."
Chen Meng did not intend to hide her speculations from Chen Mo and directly voiced her thoughts.
The Luminous Unicorn could sense an extremely terrifying force contained within the Crystal Core, something a Monarch Stage Crystal Core does not possess.
"Ask the Isolated Island Spirit where this Crystal Core fragment was found,"
Chen Meng said.
"Xinghai, where did you find this Crystal Core fragment?"
"Woo—" (Near that small island where I met you.)
"Can you take us there to have a look?"
"Woo—"
The Isolated Island Spirit happily agreed and invited Chen Mo to stand on its back.
Compared to riding Chen Gong's Er Ha's Hammerhead Shark, mounting the Isolated Island Spirit was much more comfortable. The back of the Isolated Island Spirit was an island itself, and Chen Mo felt as though he was piloting a large space shuttle, his view extremely clear and unobstructed.
After traveling over the sea for more than 2 hours, the group finally arrived at the spot where the Isolated Island Spirit had "picked up" the Crystal Core fragment.
"Woo—" (It's at the very deep seabed, friend, will you come along?)
The Isolated Island Spirit was somewhat worried about Chen Mo's body, because the water pressure thousands of meters below sea level would directly crush him.
Although it could create a water bubble to take Chen Mo to the seabed thousands of meters deep, it could not guarantee his safety in case of any accidents.
The deep sea was lurked with countless fearsome beasts.
It's strength as a Commander 1st Rank was enough for self-protection, but not to dominate the area.
At that moment, a huge deep blue Summoning Array appeared beneath Chen Meng's feet, and with a powerful aura, a very burly Tempest Spirit appeared in front of Chen Mo and the Isolated Island Spirit.
The lower half of the Tempest Spirit's body was entirely made of whirlpools, while the upper half resembled a sea giant, having a face without any facial features and muscular arms made from condensed water.
In terms of size alone, this Tempest Spirit was even larger than the Isolated Island Spirit.
"Another Monarch Stage Spiritual Beast, Sister Meng's capabilities are impressive!" Chen Mo couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
The Tempest Spirit had already undergone two evolutions; who could have thought that its original form was a very cute and mini Water Floaty, now transformed into a "burly man."
The Tempest Spirit created a super large water ball, enveloping Chen Mo, Chen Meng, and the Luminous Unicorn within it.
"Xinghai, you lead the way!"
"Woo—"
The Isolated Island Spirit dived into the water, followed by the Tempest Spirit and the Hammerhead Shark, quickly reaching the place where Xinghai found the Crystal Core fragment.
However, after searching under the sea for almost an hour, the group still did not find any other similar Crystal Core fragments.
"Let's return for now! Brother, you send people to continue searching this area, but keep this information to ourselves for the time being," Chen Meng said when they reached the shore.
"No problem, I'll go and arrange that."
Chen Gong nodded in response, ready to arrange for more people.
With the help of professional equipment, the efficiency of the search could be greatly improved.
"Woo—" (I need to go pick up some things.)
Before leaving the Spirit Realm, the Isolated Island Spirit said to Chen Mo.
It had dragon-like habits, fond of treasured and shiny objects. When drifting in the Vortex Sea, it would purposely collect these treasures and place them where it slept.
Every time it saw these shiny objects, it felt extremely joyful.
Now that it was moving, naturally, it would want to transfer its "treasures" as well.
"No problem."
Chen Mo smiled.
Looks like Xinghai is still a "little rich girl"!
The Isolated Island Spirit packed up its "treasure" and returned to Heart of Canglang.
Then, Chen Mo followed Chen Meng back to Blue Star.
The inspection for returning to Blue Star was much stricter than when entering.
Apart from verifying identification cards and Spirit Master IDs, the exit also had a super-powered Spirit Butterfly assigned. This Spirit Butterfly mastered an insight ability that could see through disguises and mimicking techniques.
Mainly because they were concerned about people with ulterior motives entering Blue Star, the Blue Star People were always guarded against the people from the Spirit Realm.
Not of us, their hearts must differ.
After returning to Blue Star, Chen Mo first made a phone call to his grandmother to report his safety, then went to the bookstore and bought a "Spirit Material Encyclopedia".
Today is already Sunday, but due to his training in the Spirit Realm, he hadn't completed this week's weekly challenge yet.
The entries for this week's refresh are—
Photographic Memory (Green)
Within 1 week, memorize the content of a book with no less than 100,000 words.
Entry effect: Possess photographic memory.
Toxic (Green)
Ingest five types of poison, one of which needs to be of rare quality.
Entry effect: You are immune to most ordinary toxins; increase poison resistance by 50%.
The challenge Toxic was truly toxic, and naturally, Chen Mo passed on it. Since both of these weekly challenges had been refreshed once, Chen Mo could only choose to complete the Photographic Memory challenge.
The effect of the Photographic Memory entry was pretty good; after equipping the entry, he would be like a human scanner, able to remember various information about Spiritual Beasts and spirit materials, which is like an added layer of invisible security when adventuring in the wild.
After Chen Mo bought the book, he went home and started to crazily memorize it.
Memorizing a 100,000-word book in less than a day is almost an impossible challenge for an ordinary person, but not so difficult for a Spirit Master with substantial spiritual power.
Memory is closely related to spiritual power, and some high-level Spirit Masters inherently have photographic memory abilities.
As for the Isolated Island Spirit, it stayed in the Heart of Cang Hai watching cartoons.
Being a wild Spiritual Beast that grew up in the ocean, everything about human cities seemed weird and bizarre to it.
Especially the big metal box in front of it that played various images.
Although it didn't understand human language, the imagery alone was novel and magical to it.
Xiao Jiu, rarely not being a "study king" in training, was accompanying the Isolated Island Spirit watching cartoons and explaining everything about Blue Star to it.
This was the task Chen Mo gave him, with the purpose of helping the Isolated Island Spirit to integrate quickly into this home.
The next day, Chen Mo didn't wake up until 10 o'clock.
Memorizing the book had consumed a lot of his energy yesterday, but fortunately, he finished it before 12 o'clock.
Then, he requested another half-term off from his class advisor, Lao Bai.
Lao Bai expressed understanding and voluntarily extended Chen Mo's leave to one year.
After one year, Chen Mo will graduate as an outstanding graduate from No.1 Middle School.
By that time, the school will also extensively promote it as a competitive advantage in attracting new students.
In this world, going to college is not the only option for excellent students.
Large companies, the Spirit Control Bureau, the Pharmacists Association...
Careers related to Spirit Masters are all good choices.
You go to university, I go to a company, he goes to the Spirit Control Bureau, we all have bright futures.
"The weekly challenges have refreshed again, let's have a quick look."
Chen Mo glanced at the entry training manual.
Luckily, this time the weekly challenge included a blue entry—
[Urban Legend of Late-night Delivery](Blue)
