"Alright boss, my name is Chen Fei, you can call me Da Fei, follow me!"
The blonde youth said with a cheerful smile, lacking the usual arrogance of a Spirit Master.
The Thunder Training Field is outdoors.
The moment Chen Mo stepped out of the gym, his vision was immediately shrouded in darkness.
Dark clouds filled the sky, as if a storm was approaching, and bright golden lightning bolts would occasionally streak abruptly through the dense clouds.
Even standing a hundred meters away, he could clearly feel the vast and heavenly might of the lightning.
Chen Mo, who had done his homework in advance, knew that all these phenomena were caused by an Electric Type Spiritual Beast called Thunderclap Cloud, the evolved form of a small thundercloud and also the beast of the gym's owner, which single-handedly supported the operation of the Thunder Training Field.
As Chen Mo approached the training ground, he noticed high walls surrounding the area with only one entrance and exit open, preventing accidental entry.
The Thunder Training Ground was divided into three levels: low, medium, and high.
Each level had different intensity of lightning: the low level had Awakening Level intensity, the medium level had Extraordinary Low-level intensity, and the high level had Extraordinary Middle Stage intensity.
As for even higher levels of lightning, because the maintenance costs were too high and most of the Spirit Masters who needed such training grounds were in the Spirit Realm, there was no need to establish them.
At the moment, the high-level area had only one Spirit Master present, the medium-level area had a few scattered Spirit Masters and Spiritual Beasts, while the low-level area was much busier, with dozens of Spirit Masters training with their beasts.
All were Electric Type Spiritual Beasts.
Electric Mice, Big-eared Flying Rabbits, Lightning Birds, Golden Snakes...
Most were common Spiritual Beasts.
"Boom!"
Just then, a bolt of lightning flashed before Chen Mo's eyes, striking an Awakening 6th stage Electric Mouse not far away.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
After letting out a shriek, the Electric Mouse staggered and spun around on the spot as if drunk, then lay motionless on the ground.
I'm about to be done for, Mousey!
"Chirp!"
Xiao Jiu panicked a bit at the sight.
Is this place really that dangerous? It wanted to go home!
"Don't be afraid, the Electric Mouse is fine, it just likes to lie flat," Da Fei said with a laugh.
"Hey! Please stop playing dead, hurry up and absorb the electric energy! Every minute here costs money! I've formed a contract with you, and you still want to play dead and cheat me!"
The Spirit Master beside it was agitated, continuously shaking the Electric Mouse.
But no matter how much he shook, the Electric Mouse remained unresponsive.
Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help sighing.
Indeed, my Jiu Bao is the best-behaved of all.
Huh? Where's my Jiu Bao?
Summoning the reluctant Xiao Jiu out of the Spiritual Space, Chen Mo repeatedly assured that being struck by lightning wouldn't be a problem before the Red Flame Fox decided to give it a try.
"If I'm not mistaken, your Spiritual Beast is a fire-type Blazing Flame Fox, right? Why would you come here to train?" Da Fei still couldn't resist his curiosity and asked before officially entering the training area.
"The doctor said that my Blazing Flame Fox has electric bloodlines and needs electric shocks to activate them," Chen Mo said earnestly.
"Oh, I see!" Da Fei nodded thoughtfully, but inwardly he was skeptical.
Although a small portion of Blazing Flame Foxes with a parentage of Electric Type Spiritual Beasts do awaken electric talents, Chen Mo's Blazing Flame Fox was clearly a crossbreed between a Blazing Flame Fox and a common fox.
Most likely, he was taken for a ride by some Divine Scam or unethical doctor.
However, he didn't bother saying more; as long as he ensured Chen Mo's safety and got the money, that was good enough.
Chen Mo's entry still attracted plenty of attention.
After all, his Blazing Flame Fox stood out conspicuously among the host of Electric Type Spiritual Beasts.
"Jiu Bao, let's get prepared first."
Speaking of which, Chen Mo handed the prepared petrification potion and honey milk candies to Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu was quite lucky; the effect of [Food Lover] triggered after eating the 8th candy, and it enhanced exactly the defensive power.
Coach Da Fei watching beside was somewhat bewildered.
Eating candies before training, what kind of operation is this?
"Let's try the beginner's field first."
Chen Mo said.
Although facing the Thunderbolt King's challenge requires withstanding Transcendent-level lightning, there still needs to be a step-by-step process.
"Chirp!"
Having "taken the medicine," Xiao Jiu rushed into the center of the training field high-spirited.
Brave Hu Hu, not afraid of difficulties!
At the moment, a glittering little stone hung around the neck of the Blazing Flame Fox.
This is the Thunder Attraction Stone, able to draw lightning strikes towards oneself, with a total of three different power levels; the higher the power, the more frequent the thunder strikes.
Soon, under the guidance of the Thunder Attraction Stone, a golden thunderbolt fell straight down, smashing onto the Blazing Flame Fox and splintered into countless shimmering electric arcs.
"Prepare, Thunder Bird..."
The lightning dissipated, and Da Fei beside the Blazing Flame Fox was about to make a move, but was surprised to find that the Blazing Flame Fox struck by the lightning was completely unharmed!
Even the spotless white fur didn't have a single scorch mark.
"Chirp?"
Xiao Jiu discreetly opened its eyes.
The moment the electricity struck towards it, it instinctively closed its eyes, but it seemed like a long time had passed without feeling any pain or numbness in its body.
Opening its eyes, it found that the lightning bolt that had been hurtling towards it had vanished without a trace, and the coach responsible for protecting it was standing with a dumbfounded look.
Had it already been struck?
With the effects of [Thick-skinned] and [Fitness Expert], the petrification potion, and the boost from [Food Lover], the Blazing Flame Fox's defensive power was now comparable to that of a Transcendent First Stage defense-type Spiritual Beast. Additionally, with protective gear, it would be strange for Awakening-level thunder and lightning to harm it.
"Does your Blazing Flame Fox really have electric-type bloodline?"
Coach Da Fei was a bit flustered, asking Chen Mo uncertainly.
The power of the lightning in the beginner's field was not strong, but each bolt was about the strength of Awakening Sixth Stage.
Even with the protection of defensive gear, it wasn't completely immune.
"Truly, its mother is a Silver Thunder White Fox. The doctor said its electric attribute gene is recessive and needs to be activated by electric shock."
Chen Mo casually fabricates an explanation.
"Really?"
Chen Fei started to become somewhat skeptical.
"Xiao Jiu, let's keep moving forward!"
"Chirp!"
Under the effect of the Thunder Attraction Stone, golden bolts of lightning kept striking the Blazing Flame Fox, but the Blazing Flame Fox seemed unfazed, walking unhurriedly toward the position of the middle-level field.
More and more Spirit Masters and their Spiritual Beasts unconsciously turned their gazes towards the Blazing Flame Fox.
Even the play-acting rat stood up.
Is this a flame-type Spiritual Beast of Awakening Third Stage?
That's unscientific!
"Don't let your Spiritual Beast go any further, the lightning in the middle-level field is not something your Blazing Flame Fox can endure."
Seeing the Blazing Flame Fox about to enter the middle-level field, Da Fei hastily intervened to stop this suicidal act.
"Don't worry, I am confident. The doctor said that only Transcendent-level lightning can truly awaken the latent electrical bloodline in the Blazing Flame Fox."
Soon, the Blazing Flame Fox arrived at the edge between the beginner and middle-level field, where the falling thunderbolts' power was already comparable to a full-strength strike of a Transcendent-level Spiritual Beast.
Chen Mo's heart was also in his throat, success or failure hinged on this moment. Although he made thorough preparations, he had never tried it before, and was still somewhat worried.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt much thicker than before cut through the sky, landing on the seemingly frail body of the Blazing Flame Fox.
The thunder roared, and electric arcs flickered.
