Chapter 9 So Love Disappears, Right?

```

Although currently Xiao Jiu can only equip three entries, besides the fixed ones, Chen Mo can completely swap entries according to various needs during battle.

For example, equipping [Agility] when attacking, and switching to [Tough Skin] or [Sturdy] when needing defense. There will be more choices as entries increase in the future.

Of course, just having entries isn't enough; mastering techniques is necessary to yield better results.

Chen Mo was just wondering where Xiao Jiu could learn techniques after awakening the electric-type!

It would be ideal to get some techniques and training ground access at the Thunderbolt Daoist School for free.

"By the way! Young man, I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"Chen Mo, you can call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Mo."

"Then I'll call you Xiao Mo. Tomorrow, you can come to the school to attend classes. Today, follow your senior brother to get familiar with our school. She Pili, I'll leave this task to you."

She Lei said, addressing a young man in his twenties beside him, wearing the white robe of the Daoist School with artistically styled long hair.

"With the last name She, is he the son or grandson of Master She?"

Chen Mo thought silently, not bothering too much.

He had an entry training manual; as long as he develops with perseverance, he could someday reach the peak without needing to flatter anyone.

"Last week, I went for a stroll in the Spirit Realm, and coincidentally picked up some small items in Thunderbolt Canyon. This Condensed Thunder Stone is a welcome gift for you!"

As he spoke, She Lei took out a stone emitting a silver glow from his Space Bracelet.

The Condensed Thunder Stone is a rare resource that only appears in mountains where storms rage year-round. It is filled with rich electric spiritual power, which can accelerate the growth of electric-type spiritual beasts at the Awakened Stage and Extraordinary Rank.

The market price for one ranges from about 30,000 to 100,000.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but this is too valuable, I can't accept it."

Chen Mo expressed his gratitude.

"Oh, it's nothing, not worth much, go ahead and take it! Alright, I have matters to attend to. Pili, show Xiao Mo around!"

After confirming Chen Mo's joining, Master She didn't say much more and left.

"Junior Brother Chen, should I take you for a tour first? Or would you like to practice for a bit?"

After She Lei left, She Pili, who was standing upright, suddenly slumped, speaking in a lazy tone as if he hadn't fully awakened.

"Senior Brother, my spiritual beast has just grasped an awakening technique; I'd like to check it out first."

Awakening techniques are a kind of innate technique. When a new attribute awakens, the spiritual beast will randomly learn a technique of that attribute.

"Take your time, I'll wait for you."

Saying this, She Pili then sat on the ground, closing his eyes. It was unclear if he was meditating or truly sleeping.

Xiao Jiu learned three awakening techniques in total: Thunderclaw, Thunder Shadow, and Electric Ball.

One for melee, one for ranged, and one special skill—three low-level techniques.

"Come on! Show us!"

"Chirp!"

Xiao Jiu first unleashed Thunderclaw, where a dazzling purple lightning shot from its paws.

The paws swiftly swiped through the air like purple blades flashing by, finally slamming the ground, causing the purple lightning to explode into arcs of electricity.

Though just a low-level technique, the power was quite impressive.

After using Thunder Shadow, its speed could be increased, while Electric Ball involved launching a fist-sized electric orb at the opponent.

With these three skills mastered, Blazing Flame Fox truly possessed combat capability.

Moreover, after equipping [Thunderbolt King], all electric-type techniques Xiao Jiu used had increased power, making them nearly equal to mastery even at the beginner level.

"Senior Brother, I'm ready."

After testing the new techniques, Chen Mo approached She Pili.

"Oh, that was quick?"

She Pili opened his somewhat confused eyes, still speaking in a lazy tone.

This senior brother seemed to have truly been asleep, even in such a noisy environment, it's a wonder what he did last night.

"You should be familiar with the Thunder Training Field and the school's exterior, I'll take you for a tour inside now!"

She Pili stood up, swaying for a moment as if unstable.

"Are you alright, Senior Brother?"

"No problem, no problem, follow me!"

She Pili led Chen Mo back to the indoor facility, arriving at a metal door that slowly opened after he input his fingerprint.

"The internal school is a training ground for members and internal disciples. I'll register your fingerprint in a bit; come on with me!"

Chen Mo followed closely.

The interior of the school had about the same area as the exterior, but the facilities were more complete here.

Standard arenas, various exercise equipment, electric-type spirit training areas, meditation rooms, and even a small medical room.

At the moment, there were very few people in the internal school; Chen Mo saw only two, both dressed in white practice uniforms with the Thunderbolt Daoist School logo, seemingly engaged in a spirit beast duel.

In the central arena, an Electric Meimei, nearly man's height, with a golden bell around its chest, and a Silver Wolf, entirely silver with a single horn, each occupied a corner of the arena.

Electric arcs flashed around the Electric Meimei, with golden thunders as thick as bowls continuously striking the Silver Wolf, which dodged extremely fast, bursting into a series of afterimages during quick movements, and managing to evade every bolt.

However, for some unknown reason, it didn't strike back.

Both spirit beasts were at the Extraordinary Level, and the intensity of their battle was incomparable to the Awakening Level spirit beast battles seen before.

"Big Brother and Senior Sister Liu are in practical training, Electric Meimei is practicing the accuracy and speed of the thunderbolt move, while Single-Horned Silver Wolf is training its reaction speed and footwork."

"Chirp!"

Watching the fierce matchup of two extraordinary spirit beasts, Xiao Jiu's heart surged with excitement.

It also wanted a thrilling fight!

"Senior Brother, is there any spiritual beast with strength similar to Xiao Jiu's?"

Xiao Jiu had not yet experienced an actual battle, and Chen Mo was itching to find an evenly matched opponent to spar with.

"All the senior and junior spiritual beasts here start at the Extraordinary Rank. There are some in the member class whose power is similar to yours. But it's the weekend today, and none of them are here. Besides, since your spiritual beast has just awakened, I'd suggest attending more technique classes, learning a few more moves before engaging in practical training."

She Pili mentioned.

At this moment, the training match between Electric Meimei and the Single-Horned Silver Wolf had just ended. The Electric Meimei's Spirit Master was a short-haired woman, with her vest showing a broad chest. Seeing Chen Mo and She Pili, she smiled and greeted:

"Thunder Brother, Master took a new disciple again?"

"No, I'm just a school member now, Senior Brother She brought me to familiarize myself."

Chen Mo replied.

Members of the Thunderbolt Daoist School are divided into two groups: formal disciples, who are Master She's apprentices, and members, who pay to learn techniques to enhance their spiritual beasts' power.

Chen Mo managed to get a membership for free.

"Wow! Such a cute little fox, come to sister's arms!"

The short-haired senior sister's eyes lit up at the sight of the Blazing Flame Fox. She ran over, picked up Xiao Jiu, and gave it a gentle rub.

Indeed, no girl could resist Xiao Jiu's charm.

"Chirp~"

"Baa!"

The Electric Meimei nearby, witnessing this scene, turned its head away in annoyance, emitting an angry baa.

It had just fought so hard, only for its Spirit Master to turn and hug another spiritual beast.

Love does indeed fade, doesn't it?
