Chapter 7 Is This Really a Blazing Flame Fox!? (Please Follow)

"Alright, boss, I'm Chen Fei. Just call me Da Fei. Follow me!"

The young man with blonde hair spoke cheerfully, showing no trace of the arrogance typical of Spirit Masters.

The Thunder Training Field was outdoors.

As Chen Mo stepped out of the stadium, his vision instantly dimmed.

The sky was overcast, as if a storm was about to break. Among the dense clouds, golden lightning occasionally flashed and fell.

Even standing a hundred meters away, he could clearly feel the immense power of the lightning.

Having done his homework beforehand, Chen Mo knew that this entire scene was created by an Electric Type Spiritual Beast called Thunder Cloud, the evolved form of Little Thunder Cloud. It was also the Spirit Beast of the stadium owner, sustaining this Thunder Training Field on its own.

As Chen Mo approached the training field, he noticed tall walls surrounding it, with only one entrance and exit open, preventing anyone from wandering in by mistake.

The Thunder Training Ground was divided into three levels: low-level, mid-level, and high-level.

The intensity of lightning strikes varied in each field: low-level featured Awakening Level strength lightning, mid-level Extraordinary Low-level strength, and high-level Extraordinary Middle Stage strength.

As for even higher-level lightning, the maintenance cost was too high, and most Spirit Masters needing such levels trained in the Spirit Realm, making it unnecessary, so it wasn't available.

At this moment, the high-level field had only one Spirit Master's presence, the mid-level had only a few Spirit Masters and Spiritual Beasts, but the low-level was bustling with dozens of Spirit Masters and their Spiritual Beasts training.

All of them were Electric Type Spiritual Beasts.

Electric Mouse, Big-eared Flying Rabbit, Lightning Bird, Golden Snake...

Most were relatively common Spiritual Beasts.

"Boom!"

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed past Chen Mo and struck an Awakening Level 6 Electric Mouse not far away.

"Zhi zhi zhi!"

After a scream, the Electric Mouse staggered like a drunk, spun in place twice, then collapsed on the ground motionless.

Poor Mouse Mouse is at its limit!

"Chirp!"

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu panicked slightly.

Is this place really this dangerous? It wants to go home!

"Don't worry, this Electric Mouse is fine; it just likes to play dead."

Chen Fei said with a chuckle.

"Hey! Please don't play dead. Absorb the electric energy quickly! Every minute here costs money! I've contracted with you, and you still want to play dead to fool me!"

The Spirit Master beside it, looking agitated, kept shaking the Electric Mouse.

But no matter how much he shook it, the Electric Mouse remained unresponsive.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

As expected, my Jiu Bao is still the best.

Huh? Where's my Jiu Bao?

Chen Mo summoned the reluctant Xiao Jiu from the Spiritual Space, repeatedly assuring it wouldn't be harmed by lightning before the Red Flame Fox decided to give it a try.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Spirit Beast is a Fire Type Blazing Flame Fox, right? Why bring it here to train?"

Before officially entering the training ground, Da Fei couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

"The doctor said my Blazing Flame Fox has an Electric Type bloodline that needs to be activated by lightning."

Chen Mo responded earnestly.

"I see!"

Da Fei nodded thoughtfully, though he wasn't convinced.

Although some Blazing Flame Foxes with Electric Type ancestry might awaken Electric Type talents, Chen Mo's Blazing Flame Fox clearly seemed to be a hybrid between a Blazing Flame Fox and a regular fox.

Most likely, it was fooled by some Divine Scam or unscrupulous doctor.

But he couldn't be bothered to say more; as long as he ensured Chen Mo's safety and got paid, he was content.

Chen Mo's entry still attracted a lot of attention.

After all, among the crowd of Electric Type Spiritual Beasts, Chen Mo's Blazing Flame Fox stood out like a sore thumb.

"Jiu Bao, let's get ready."

With that, Chen Mo handed Xiao Jiu the petrifying potion and honey milk candy he had prepared.

Xiao Jiu was in luck; after eating just the eighth candy, the [Food Lover] effect triggered, and it just so happened to boost its defensive power.

Coach Da Fei watched, a bit perplexed.

Eating candy before training, what kind of operation is this?

"Let's try the beginner's field first."

Chen Mo suggested.

Though the [Thunderbolt King] challenge required enduring Extraordinary Level lightning, there needed to be a gradual process.

"Chirp!"

With its "buffs" active, Xiao Jiu charged eagerly into the center of the training field.

Brave Hu Hu, not afraid of hardship!

At this moment, a small gleaming stone hung from the neck of the Blazing Flame Fox.

This was a Thunder Attraction Stone, which could draw lightning toward itself. It came in three power levels; the higher the power, the more frequent the lightning strikes.

Soon, guided by the Thunder Attraction Stone, a golden bolt of lightning fell directly on the Blazing Flame Fox, shattering into countless flickering arcs.

"Thunder Bird, get ready..."

As the lightning dispersed, Da Fei, standing next to the Blazing Flame Fox, was about to take action, only to be surprised that the struck Blazing Flame Fox was completely unharmed!

Not even a scorch mark marred its white fur.

"Chirp?"

Xiao Jiu cautiously opened its eyes.

When the lightning struck, it instinctively closed its eyes, but after what seemed like ages, it felt no pain or numbness.

Upon opening its eyes, it realized the lightning that had targeted it had disappeared without a trace, and the coach assigned to protect it was dumbfounded.

Was I struck already?

The [Thick Skin], [Fitness Enthusiast] entries, along with the petrification potion and [Food Lover] enhancement, made the Blazing Flame Fox's defensive power comparable to a Transcendent First Stage defensive spiritual beast. Plus, with the protective suit, it'd be strange if these Awakening Level lightnings caused any harm.

"Does your Blazing Flame Fox truly have an Electric Type bloodline?"

Coach Da Fei was a bit bewildered, uncertain, and questioned Chen Mo.

The lightning in the beginner's field wasn't very powerful, but each bolt was about as strong as Awakening Level 6.

Even with the protection suit, it wasn't entirely immune.

"Really, its mother was a Silver Thunder White Fox. The doctor said its electric attribute gene is recessive and needs activation through lightning."

Chen Mo casually fibbed.

"Really?"

Chen Fei began to feel a bit skeptical.

"Xiao Jiu, let's keep moving forward!"

"Chirp!"

Under the Thunder Attraction Stone's guidance, golden lightning struck repeatedly at the Blazing Flame Fox. But the Blazing Flame Fox paid no mind, leisurely heading toward the mid-level field.

More and more Spirit Masters and their Spirit Beasts began diverting their attention toward the Blazing Flame Fox.

Even the playing-dead Mouse Mouse stood up.

Is this an Awakening Level 3 Fire Type Beast?

That's unscientific!

"Don't let your Spirit Beast go further; the mid-level lightning isn't something your Blazing Flame Fox can endure."

Seeing the Blazing Flame Fox about to enter the mid-level field, Da Fei hurriedly stopped this reckless behavior.

"Relax, I have confidence. The doctor said only Extraordinary Level lightning can truly activate the Blazing Flame Fox's latent Electric Type bloodline."

Soon, the Blazing Flame Fox reached the edge between the beginner's and mid-level fields, where the lightning was equivalent to a full strike from an Extraordinary Level Spiritual Beast.

Chen Mo's heart raced, success or failure hinged on this. Even though he had prepared thoroughly, having never attempted it, he was still a bit anxious.

"Boom!"

A much heftier bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, striking the seemingly frail body of the Blazing Flame Fox.

Thunder boomed, arcs of electricity flickered.
