Chapter 6 Thunderbolt Daoist School
```
Chen Mo finished his meditation, took a look at his phone, and found a bunch of notifications.
"Hummingbird Express: Your package has been placed..."
"Jingwei Express: Your delivery has arrived..."
In this world, the presence of spiritual beasts has made delivery speeds ridiculously fast.
By the afternoon, nearly 100 packages were delivered one after another.
"Chirp!"
Sensing Chen Mo had woken up, the Blazing Flame Fox opened its beautiful crimson eyes, like flowing fireworks in the night.
"Chirp?" (Ready to eat?)
"That's right, I bought a lot of snacks. Let's just grab something simple for dinner!"
Finally dragging all the packages back to his room, Chen Mo and the Blazing Flame Fox began their joyful unboxing journey.
Most of the food Chen Mo purchased online were small fish snacks or candies, easily portable.
After completing the challenge, these portable foods could be used as side-effect-free "buff potions."
Fortunately, the quality of these foods Chen Mo bought was quite good, mostly meeting the standards.
About three-fourths into the food, the [Food Enthusiast] challenge was completed.
So, for the rest of the time, Chen Mo also tested the effects of the [Food Enthusiast] entry.
The probability of triggering the enhancement effect of [Food Enthusiast] isn't low, roughly once for every ten different foods eaten.
Once triggered, the Blazing Flame Fox would randomly boost one of three attributes: attack, defense, or speed, lasting for an hour. The enhancement effect was similar to the [Thick Skin] entry.
More impressively, the three effects could be stacked!
Thinking it over, Chen Mo placed another online order for 1,000 honey milk candies.
These candies were said to be made with honey from the Spirit Beast Queen Bee and milk from the Note Cow, both delicious and nutritious.
He planned to use them as stimulants in the future!
The kind that wouldn't show up on a urine test!
"With the defense boost from the Food Enthusiast combined with Thick Skin, Xiao Jiu's defensive power can now rival a spiritual beast specializing in defense at the Awakened Ninth Rank. Together with the petrification potion and protective gear, it should be able to withstand an Extraordinary Level thunderstorm."
Chen Mo pondered.
"But to be safe, I'll farm another defense-related entry before taking on the challenge!"
Time flew by, and the following days for Chen Mo and Xiao Jiu were unusually routine.
Eating, sleeping, meditation training, and completing daily challenges made him the epitome of a modern-day rolled king.
Finally, on the last day of the week, Chen Mo farmed a defense-related entry.
Fitness Expert (White)
Complete three fitness exercises in one day: 5km weighted run, 200 push-ups, and 200 squats to earn the [Fitness Expert] entry.
Effects of the [Fitness Expert] entry: Slightly enhances physique, strength, and durability.
The Fitness Expert challenge wasn't difficult, just slightly time-consuming and physically taxing.
"I should probably work out a bit myself."
With the [Rolled King] still equipped on Xiao Jiu, Chen Mo decided to complete this challenge himself.
After a morning spent, Chen Mo finally earned the entry.
"Seems...not too tiring."
Chen Mo was a little surprised after the workout, then realized that after contracting, spiritual beasts nourish and subtly strengthen the Spirit Master.
So his current physical condition is much better than in his previous life.
"About time, it's time to complete the [Thunderbolt King] challenge!"
With this in mind, Chen Mo said to the Blazing Flame Fox:
"Xiao Jiu, it's time to enter the second stage of training."
"Chirp?"
The Blazing Flame Fox looked at Chen Mo with eager anticipation.
"The second stage of training I call electric shock training. In simple terms, it's like getting struck by lightning, no—bathing in lightning to comprehend its power!"
"Chirp!!!?"
Chen Mo had done his research in advance. There's a specialized Electric-Type Spiritual Beast training facility in Shenghai City called the Thunderbolt Daoist School.
It not only provides a thunderfield but also rents protective clothing, and it's not far from his current residence, just over ten kilometers away.
So Chen Mo hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Thunderbolt Daoist School with Xiao Jiu.
Daoist Schools appeared after the fusion of the two worlds.
Some powerful Spirit Masters who had either achieved mastery or found it difficult to progress further would take in apprentices to pass down their experience, spiritual beast techniques, and skills.
The Thunderbolt Daoist School is a fairly new establishment, just over a decade old. The owner, She Qin, was once an officer stationed at the Shenghai City node leading to the Spirit Realm, who retired and opened this Daoist School after returning home.
In less than 20 minutes, Chen Mo arrived at the Thunderbolt Daoist School.
The building of the Thunderbolt Daoist School resembles a large sports arena, with many facilities and arenas inside. When Chen Mo arrived, he noted there were Spirit Master battles in progress in both arenas at the center of the venue.
A quick glance revealed they were all Awakened Level battles.
The two Spirit Masters seemed to be newbies, the battle scene not at all flashy, even having a certain inexplicable comicality.
Chen Mo watched for a while, finding it uninteresting, though Xiao Jiu seemed eager to join in.
"There'll be plenty of opportunities later; let's start the second stage of training first."
"Chirp!"
Upon arriving at the front desk, a lively young lady with double ponytails warmly asked:
"How can I help you?"
"I'd like to go to the Primary Thunder Training Ground."
"Is it for you and your beast?"
"Yes, you rent protective clothing here, right? I'll need two sets."
"Entry fee is 2000 per person, two sets of protective clothing are 2000, plus a deposit of 5000, totaling 11000. Please show your payment code, and I'll scan it for you!"
The double-ponytail young lady said with a big smile.
Chen Mo nearly shed tears of poverty.
Spirit Masters and spiritual beasts actually require separate tickets.
Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable!
"And just to inform you in advance if any accident happens, all liabilities are your responsibility."
"I understand."
Chen Mo nodded.
"If there are no issues, could you sign the waiver agreement here? Though for beginners, I recommend hiring a coach, just for the added safety of you and your mythical beast."
The double-ponytail staff pointed to a tall, slender youth with dyed blond hair not far away, surrounded by a spiritual beast with golden wings resembling a raptor.
It's a Thunder Bird, an Electric-Type Spiritual Beast capable of summoning thunder, generally at the Commander Stage. From its size, this one should be at an Extraordinary Rank.
The youth noticed the commotion over here and ran over with a smile, speaking to Chen Mo.
"Hey, need a coach, little brother? Cheap and affordable, budget-friendly, we're all about good deals."
The youth looked quite young, like a college student.
Probably a student from Spirit University, here doing a summer internship at the Thunderbolt Daoist School.
"How much per hour?"
"1000."
"Then I'll take an hour!"
1000 per hour isn't considered expensive; after all, the status of Spirit Masters is quite high, and often the appearance fee for a high-end match is astronomical.
This price is really not high for a Primary Spirit Master.
