Mutated Spirit Beast, Thunder-Scaled Turtle

"Chirp?"

As if sensing Chen Mo's troubles, Xiao Jiu, who was eating its burger, stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, it put down the hamburger in its hand and packed it together with the rest of the hamburger to save it for dinner. If there was still too much left, it could eat it tomorrow.

"Chirp!" (I'm so frugal!)

The little fox tilted its head, its long white tail wagging from side to side.

Looking at the little fox's silly and cute actions, Chen Mo felt a little amused and touched. He gently rubbed the little fox's head and said,

"Alright! I won't hide it from you anymore. Actually, my beast taming talent allows me to obtain special abilities after completing certain challenges. For example, eating hamburgers now and the lightning test from before, eating delicacies, eating stinky tofu and so on. Jiu Bao, eat quickly! Leave the money-making to me."

"Chirp!" (Let's earn some money together!)

Chen Mo's heart felt very warm.

Now, he was no longer alone. As the spiritual beast he had contracted with, Xiao Jiu was its most trusted companion.

As if he had smelled the burger, She Pili, who had transformed into a sleeping Kogoro, sniffed and opened his eyes. Then, he saw Chen Mo and the Blazing Flame Fox, who were devouring the burger.

"Wow! Junior Brother, did you buy me a burger?"

Seeing that there were still a few burgers in the food bag, She Pili asked in surprise.

"Yes, I bought you one."

Seeing She Pili's expectant gaze, Chen Mo was too embarrassed to say that the remaining six burgers were their lunch.

"Thank you, Junior Brother."

She Pili did not stand on ceremony. He grabbed a hamburger and began to take big bites.

"Senior Brother, do you know any way to earn money quickly?"

Chen Mo took the opportunity to ask while they were eating.

"There are many ways for Beast Tamers to earn money quickly, but there are two most common methods. One is to explore the Spiritual Realm. You can earn a lot of money be it from accepting commissions from the Beast Tamer Bureau or collecting spiritual materials. However, you're currently not a beginner Beast Tamer yet, so you don't have the qualifications to go to the Spiritual Realm. The other way is to join competitions." She Pili said as he ate.

"Competition? Is there any competition suitable for me to participate in?"

Upon hearing about the competition, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. Wouldn't Xiao Jiu's combat strength be invincible at the Awakening level?

"Let me take a look. There's a competition called the Young Eagle Cup in Shenghai City recently. Today is the last day of registration. Okay, I've sent you the link."

Chen Mo clicked on the link and realized that the organizer of this "Young Eagle Cup" was the Beast Tamer Association of Shenghai City. It was held every year.

Sure, it was very formal!

The competition took place from August 24 to August 29, the last week of the summer vacation.

The requirements for contestants were Beast Tamers under the age of 20 in Shenghai City.

The prize money for the first place was 300,000 yuan, the second place was 100,000 yuan and the third place was 50,000 yuan.

"Under the age of 20, this doesn't restrict the growth level of the participating spirit beasts. Then wouldn't a 20-year-old advanced-level Beast Tamer win easily!?"

Chen Mo could not help but say.

There had never been a lack of geniuses on the Blue Planet. Although there were no 20-year-old Master Beast Tamers, there were still many 20-year-old advanced-level Beast Tamers.

Some people had opened up the Beast Taming Space at the age of 10. Their starting point could be said to be far ahead of Chen Mo's.

"Don't worry! The registration fee of a Beast Tamer of that level is more than this. I guess the highest level of this competition will be a Transcendence Level 4 or 5 spirit beast, although it won't make much of a difference to you."

Chen Mo: "…"

"By the way, if you get a good ranking, remember to promote our Thunderbolt Gymnasium!"

She Pili did not think that Chen Mo's strength could get him any ranking. He only said casually.

"Definitely!"

The next day, after completing the daily challenge [Long-distance Run Enthusiast], Chen Mo came to the Thunderbolt Gymnasium to attend classes and train as usual.

Today was still a technique-teaching class and combat class.

The teacher in class… was still the eldest senior brother, Lin Lan.

During the combat class, She Pili appeared again. Just like yesterday, he found a remote corner and closed his eyes to rest.

At first, Chen Mo thought that this senior brother had gone overboard the day before, but he had done it continuously. In addition, the others were already used to it.

Perhaps there was a secret to Senior Brother She's drowsiness.

When the combat class ended, She Pili finally woke up.

Chen Mo asked curiously,

"Senior Brother She, why don't you spar with your senior brothers and sisters?"

In the past two days of combat class, he had more or less seen other people's spirit beasts, but he had never seen Senior Brother Pi Li's spirit beast.

"Because no one in my generation is my match!"

She Pili revealed a lonely expression.

Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, one could not judge a book by its cover.

He did not expect Senior Brother Pi Li to be so strong despite his lazy appearance!

"Indeed, no one is your match, but who can you defeat?"

Senior Sister Liu, who was broad-minded, couldn't help but laugh when she heard their conversation.

"Senior Sister, what are you doing? Don't affect my lofty image in front of my junior brother, okay?"

She Pili's tone was still lazy. Seeing Chen Mo's curious expression, he said helplessly,

"Alright, then I'll show you my spirit beast!"

In the next moment, a huge dark blue summoning array that flickered with countless electric arcs appeared under his feet.

Then, a huge turtle that was more than seven meters long and two meters tall appeared in front of Chen Mo. The turtle shell was covered in purple patterns that looked like fish scales. There were three golden runes engraved in the center of the turtle shell. It looked rather mysterious.

However, the size of the Thunder-Scaled Turtle in front of him was too strange. An ordinary Thunder-Scaled Turtle was only one meter long yet She Pili's Thunder-Scaled Turtle was almost comparable to its evolution form, the Thunder Hell Mountain.

Chen Mo used the Spirit Beast Access application attached to the Beast Tamer bracelet to scan it. The illusory light screen displayed the information of this Thunder-Scaled Turtle.

[Spirit Beast Name: Thunder-Scaled Turtle]

[Growth Level: Transcendence Level 9]

[Race Level: Commander Level 1]

[Description: Lightning-type spirit beast. Legend has it that spirit beasts with the bloodline of the mythical creature, the Black Tortoise, are extremely rare. Its turtle shell has extremely terrifying defense.]

"Mutant Spiritual Beast? Level-9 Transcendence?!"

Chen Mo said in surprise.

"Yes, Abu is a mutated spirit beast. That's why it's so huge. Because it's too big, Abu is more clumsy. It's almost impossible for it to hit his opponent in close combat. My senior brothers and sisters' spirit beasts are attack speed-type and long-range attacks can't hit them."

"However, although it's difficult to defeat opponents, no one can defeat my Abu. The Thunder-Scaled Turtle's defense is shocking to begin with. After it mutated, its defense increased greatly. Then, I formulated a counter-armor strategy according to Abu's characteristics. I mainly learned the Thunder Armor and Thorny Thunder Sting skills. Even ordinary commander-rank spirit beasts of the same level can't break through its defense!"

She Pili explained.

"I see!"

Chen Mo was a little surprised.

Indeed, he should not underestimate anyone.

She Pili was in his first year of university this year and was only 20 years old. The growth level of his spirit beast had already reached Transcendence Level 9. It seemed that its combat strength was 55 points higher compared to ordinary commander-level spirit beasts.
