I'm Actually the Unlucky One

Challenge: Cultivate a Rare Spiritual Material from scratch within a week.

[Attribute Effect: There is a small chance that the spiritual materials you plant will mutate.]

"It's another almost impossible challenge. Grass-type spirit beasts are indispensable to cultivate rare spiritual materials in a week. However, only trainers above the advanced level can do it, right?"

Other than Beast Tamers, there were many other professions related to spirit beasts on the Blue Planet. There are Trainers who mainly planted spiritual materials, Chefs who mainly made delicious food, Researchers who mainly developed new moves, Pharmacists who mainly studied potions, Mechanics who created mechanical spirit beasts and so on.

Of course, these special professionals were often Beast Tamers. Only with the help of spirit beasts could they achieve success in these areas.

"If that's the case, I can only choose the Gourmet Tracker challenge."

Gourmet-type spirit beasts were very rare because they were most likely only born in high-end spiritual materials (food ingredients). Whether in the wild or in the city, high-end spiritual materials were coveted by other spirit beasts or humans.

These high-end spiritual materials were often eaten before they could give birth to spirits.

However, Chen Mo knew of a place where the probability of a gourmet-type spirit beast appearing was very high.

That place was the Chef Academy, where Chefs are trained.

Here, be it teachers or students, most of them would contract one or a few gourmet spirit beasts.

This place was simply a foodie's paradise.

Chen Mo searched online and found that there was no Chef Academy in Shenghai City. However, there was a Chef Academy in Nanluo City next door— God of Culinary Academy.

"In that case, I'll compete in the morning and go to the Chef Academy in the afternoon. I won't go to the gym to train today."

Chen Mo muttered.

Today was the first day of the Young Eagle Cup preliminary round.

At the thought of the 300,000 yuan bonus, he and Xiao Jiu could not wait!

The venue for the Young Eagle Cup's preliminary round was at the stadium in the city center of Shenghai City. This was one of the top large-scale spirit beast stadiums in Shenghai City.

The stadium was located by the sea and was shaped like a huge cruise ship. It could accommodate up to 300,000 viewers.

When Chen Mo arrived, he found that there were already many people gathered in the stadium. Other than the contestants, there were also many tourists who came to watch the competition.

The venue was huge. Chen Mo searched for a while before finding the contestant registration office.

At this moment, there was already a long line at the contestant registration office. Everyone seemed to have arrived very early.

"Let me take a look at your spirit beast's information."

At the back of the line, Chen Mo leisurely took out his Beast Tamer bracelet and began to scan the spirit beasts of the other contestants.

He had nothing to do anyway.

Xiao Jiu obediently lay in Chen Mo's arms and looked at the information of the spirit beast displayed on the bracelet with Chen Mo.

Although it could not understand anything other than pictures, it felt very warm.

After a round of scans, Chen Mo realized that most of the participants in the competition this time were not very strong. The growth level of the spirit beast was below Level 5.

It was already outstanding for a spirit beast to reach Level 7 Awakening. It was even rarer for a spirit beast to reach Transcendence level.

"Don't let these experts take back their spirit beasts into the Beast Taming Space."

"Chirp?" (No way?)

Half an hour later, it was finally Chen Mo's turn.

"Hello, please give me the Beast Tamer Bracelet."

"Will do."

After handing the bracelet to the staff, the staff scanned the registration information and said,

"May I ask if you want to start the competition now?"

The Young Eagle Cup was divided into two stages, the preliminaries and the main competition.

There were a total of three rounds in the preliminary. Each contestant had to win three consecutive rounds before they could pass the preliminary round and enter the top 32.

The preliminary round had a lot to do with luck. If the opponents they were matched with were all contestants who had awakened to level three or four who only came for experience, then they could easily win and enter the main competition.

Of course, even if their spiritual beast was at Transcendence Level 1 but they were unlucky and matched with a high-level Transcendence spiritual beast, they would be eliminated.

In addition, there was no time limit for the preliminary round. When a Beast Tamer was present, the system would automatically help match the opponent until the third round was over.

"Okay."

Chen Mo nodded.

"I've already started matching it for you. If the match is successful, the competition information and opponent information will be displayed on your bracelet. Please take a look."

In less than a minute, the opponent's information popped up on Chen Mo's bracelet.

[Beast Tamer: Gao Fan]

[Spirit Beast: Swamp Frog]

[Spiritual Beast Growth Level: Awakened Level 9]

[Competition Venue: Venue 6]

[Competition Time: Starting at 9:30. If you don't reach the venue within 10 minutes, you will be considered to have given up the competition.]

"Jiu Bao, do you have confidence in a Level 9 Awakened opponent?"

"Chirp!"

After training for a week, Xiao Jiu, who had many trump cards, was full of confidence.

"To be safe, let's eat a few honey milk candies!"

Afraid that it would fail, the steady Chen Mo took out dozens of honey milk candy that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

He wasn't taking drugs. He was just using beast taming talent.

After all, the [Gourmet Enthusiast] attribute was only one of the effects of his beast taming talent!

—-|—-

"A Level 7 Awakening Blazing Flame Fox. Old Gao, you're quite lucky!"

At the same time, not far from the stadium, a young man with a buzz cut in a white T-shirt also received a message from his opponent.

When his companion saw Chen Mo's message, he smiled and patted the buzz cut young man's shoulder.

"The preliminary round is nothing. It would be lucky to be able to fight against such an opponent all the way."

Old Gao smiled and touched his head. He did not take this opponent to heart.

His Swamp Frog had awakened to Level 9 and he had rich combat experience. Coupled with his attribute restraint, how could it lose to a Level 7 Blazing Flame Fox?

When Chen Mo arrived at Venue 6, he found that his opponent, Gao Fan, was already there.

When Gao Fan saw the pure white Blazing Flame Fox, he was instantly amused.

It was a Blazing Flame Fox with an impure bloodline. There was actually someone who contracted this mixed-blood spirit beast. It seemed like today's competition would be a complete crushing defeat.

"Contestants from both sides, please summon your spirit beasts!"

With a light leap, Xiao Jiu arrived at the stadium.

These few days of actual combat training made it not afraid at all.

A light blue summoning array appeared in front of Gao Fan. Then, a light blue frog-type spirit beast with long limbs appeared.

Swamp frogs were water-type spirit beasts that liked moist and sticky environments. They mostly appeared in swamps.

"Let the competition begin!"

"Swamp Frog, use your water spear to directly defeat the other party."

Following the referee's order, Gao Fan prepared to let his spirit beast kill the opponent in one move.

"Use Swift Thunder Claw after Lightning Speed!"

Chen Mo immediately gave the order.

Swoosh!

Purple lightning appeared under the feet of the Blazing Flame Fox. Then, its speed suddenly increased, turning into a white afterimage. While dodging the Swamp Frog Water Spear, it quickly closed the distance between the two.

Hey! Why did a Blazing Flame Fox like you use lightning-type moves!

Gao Fan was shocked. Then, he immediately realized that this Blazing Flame Fox was a mutated spirit beast!

He had been too careless!

In the next second, the Blazing Flame Fox's front claws, which were only inches away from the Swamp Frog, suddenly shot out terrifying lightning!

Swoosh!

The moment the claws hit the Swamp Frog's body, purple lightning suddenly erupted.

The Swamp Frog was sent flying more than ten meters away, almost out of the stadium.

However, at this moment, it realized in horror that it could not move its body.

He was paralyzed!

"I admit defeat!"

There was no longer any suspense about the outcome. Gao Fan simply admitted defeat.

It was indeed a crushing defeat today, but his spirit beast was the one crushed!

He looked a little dejected, but he did not complain.

The Blazing Flame Fox was much stronger than the Swamp Frog. It turned out that he was the unlucky one!
