Chapter 22 Fishing Master
```
Chen Meng is a person who keeps her promises.
Twenty minutes later, when Chen Mo arrived at his grandmother's hospital room and asked the doctor, he learned that the cancer cells in his grandmother's body had completely disappeared.
Grandma said that a very beautiful woman had come by, and her Light Unicorn brought about a rain of light, and then she was cured.
This couldn't help but make Chen Mo a bit emotional.
Those powerful Spiritual Beasts can truly turn decay into magic and create miracles.
"Xiao Mo, I heard that girl say you joined the research department of Hongmeng Company?"
The old lady's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
How come she never knew her grandson had talent in this area before?
"Yeah, a paper I published at school on mutant Spiritual Beasts got the attention of Hongmeng Company, so they invited me to join them. Soon, your grandson will become a rising star in academia!"
Chen Mo said.
Before coming, he had already thought about how to respond to reassure the old person.
"Grandma, in the upcoming period, I might need to go to a related department for a new project, so I can't stay with you every day. But video calls are very convenient now, I'll call you whenever I have time."
"Alright!"
————————————————
September 1st.
The first day of school.
The first thing Chen Mo did upon waking up was to check this month's monthly challenge.
Last month's [Thunderbolt King] challenge was very powerful; he wondered what challenge would appear this month.
Muscle Master (Blue)
Every day, complete high-intensity workouts for no less than 8 hours, continuously for a month.
Entry effect: Slight improvement in constitution, strength, and resistance to blows, minor improvement in agility, mastery of the "Muscle Bust Out" skill.
This entry is essentially an upgraded version of the white entry [Fitness Master].
Although the effect is quite good, working out 8 hours a day really delays training. Plus, imagining Xiao Jiu turning into a Muscle Fox, Chen Mo just mentally passed on this entry.
Refresh!
The blue light shattered, this time no purple light, still just blue.
Fishing Master (Blue)
Within a month, catch 50 different species of fish, with no less than 10 of them being Spirit Fish and at least 1 Transcendent-level Spirit Fish.
Entry effect: You're more likely to encounter rare fish in the wild, your fishing skills become extremely proficient, and your damage to fish-type Spiritual Beasts increases by 100%.
"This is even worse than the previous Muscle Master! With so many Spirit Fish, where will I catch them!"
Chen Mo was speechless.
Although with the merging of the two worlds, some rivers and mountains on Blue Star also have Spirit Fish appearing, their numbers are extremely rare.
And because of the thin Spiritual Energy on Blue Star, wild Transcendent-level Spirit Fish hardly occur.
Chen Mo then searched online for Fishing Master competitions, only to find that most of these competitions are held in the Spirit Realm, and the only one held on Blue Star is not taking place this month.
This means that if he wants to complete this challenge, he has to make a trip to the Spirit Realm.
The issue is—unless it's a special case, only Primary Spirit Masters are eligible to explore the Spirit Realm!
"Wait! I remember the experimental class has a training session in the Spirit Realm this month!"
Chen Mo suddenly remembered something and then began searching for Spirit Realm nodes in Shenghai City—the Penglai Secret Realm.
So far, the space passages that have suddenly appeared on Blue Star ultimately lead to certain areas of the Spirit Realm.
However, due to the vastness of the Spirit Realm, each Spirit Realm node leads to vastly distant locations within it.
To differentiate, people have named the large areas connected by each Spirit Realm node as Secret Realms.
"Vortex Sea, Penglai Islands... I didn't expect to be so lucky; the Penglai Secret Realm happens to have the sea!"
Looking at information online about the Penglai Secret Realm, Chen Mo was quite pleased.
This greatly increased the possibility of completing the [Fishing Master] challenge entry.
After checking the monthly challenges, Chen Mo also took a quick look at the daily challenge.
Today's daily challenge revealed a green entry—
Social Bandit (Green)
Meet 20 new Spiritual Beasts in one day and become surface friends with them.
Entry effect: Slightly enhances your charm towards Spiritual Beasts and slightly increases initial goodwill with wild Spiritual Beasts.
"Chirp!" (Master, you're going to be late!)
At this time, the Blazing Flame Fox nudged Chen Mo's cheek, reminding him.
This series of searches cost Chen Mo quite some time, and if he didn't get up soon, he'd be late on the first day of school!
Chen Mo went to Experimental Class 1 as he recalled.
By the time he reached the classroom, most of the seats were already taken.
As soon as Chen Mo entered the door, he noticed everyone's gaze turned to him... and the Blazing Flame Fox on his shoulder.
Many people in Experimental Class 1 participated in this year's fledgling Eagle Cup, but most were eliminated in the qualifiers.
Later, they watched Chen Mo's matches through various means and saw how his Awakening 7th Rank Blazing Flame Fox kept winning assertively, even eventually defeating the Transcendent 3-tier Dawn Feather Crow to become the runner-up.
While envious, they also felt it was somewhat incredible.
They knew that before the summer vacation, Chen Mo hadn't even opened his Spiritual Space.
Clearly, this was an example of a Spirit Master being carried by their Spiritual Beast.
Chen Mo didn't mind everyone's gaze, but he didn't refuse when someone came to chat.
Xiao Jiu in his arms took the opportunity to showcase its strong social skills.
As a stray Spiritual Beast, Xiao Jiu was never shy and grew up eating meals from many households before meeting Chen Mo, so it quickly mingled with the Spiritual Beasts of other classmates.
It was simply a new generation of "Social Terrorist"—a social bandit.
Chen Mo glanced at the [Entry Handbook] and found that the Social Bandit entry was already complete.
Pretty nice.
The two morning classes were "Spiritual Material Identification" and "Spirit Realm Language"; most subjects in the Spirit Manipulation Department relate to the Spirit Realm, as it is a place most Spirit Masters cannot avoid.
Chen Mo listened attentively to both classes, and as for Xiao Jiu, it focused on training diligently in the Spiritual Space.
As the current "Roll King," not a single minute of training time should be wasted.
As the "Spirit Realm Language" class was about to end, the class advisor, Lao Bai, lightly coughed and said:
"Before class ends, I have something important to tell you. Next week, we will have a Secret Realm expedition in the Spirit Realm."
"This expedition is jointly organized by eight high schools in Shenghai City, with elite classes from all schools participating. The expedition location is a small island in the Penglai Secret Realm, where the Spiritual Beasts have undergone a round of clearing, the strongest being no more than Extraordinary 5th Rank. Your expedition goal is to survive on the island for a week and hunt the Spiritual Beasts on the island as much as possible, collecting spiritual materials to earn points."
"This expedition is also a competition among the eight schools, and students with outstanding performance can win cash prizes. First place gets 500,000, second place 300,000, third place 100,000, and the top 10 each get 10,000."
Lao Bai cleared his throat, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"Additionally, admissions officers from Shenghai Spirit University and executives from major groups like Qingluan Group and Hongmeng Group will watch the event as guests. If you perform well, it's possible to be pre-accepted by Shenghai Spirit University and major groups."
Shenghai Spirit University is located within the Penglai Secret Realm and is ranked among the top ten Spirit Master schools in Dongxia.
However, Chen Mo was not at all concerned about this.
He would soon become a working man, directly skipping the process of attending university!
