Chapter 13: Energy Cube

One week passed in a flash, and Da Zhen Feng's strength showed no noticeable increase.

It remained at level 18.

Yet its determined gaze and sturdy wings exuded confidence.

Over these few days, Lin Mo mainly let Da Zhen Feng absorb the residual energy of the tree fruit within its body.

To familiarize itself with its own body.

If strength increases too quickly, there will be a trouble.

That is, being unable to fully display one's true strength.

One might possess a strength of 10, but cannot control it, at most displaying 2-4 of strength.

That would be pointless.

Compared to Da Zhen Feng, Lin Mo actually prefers Shining MeowMeow's progress.

Miaomiao's progress is not about strength, but about becoming closer to Lin Mo.

Wild Little Spirits have fickle personalities.

Toward humans they are even more hostile, so to tame a wild Little Spirit...

The effort required is also much greater.

Now Miaomiao no longer holds much hostility toward Lin Mo; as long as one does not touch its sensitive spots, it will not resist.

"Meow!"

Miaomiao stood before Lin Mo, licking its black claws, its gaze occasionally drifting to the Little Spirit Food on the table.

"Hungry?"

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, yet understood Miaomiao's meaning.

"Here!"

Lin Mo opened the can, scooped out several spoonfuls of Little Spirit Food, and handed it to Miaomiao.

Looking at the Little Spirit Food before it, Miaomiao happily lowered its head and began eating heartily.

"Feelings still need to be cultivated!"

Lin Mo scratched Miaomiao's fluffy back, then waved at Da Zhen Feng: "Today we have to draw lots, let's set off!"

"Bang bang!"

Da Zhen Feng also appeared quite excited, its sharp steel needles striking hard, producing crisp bang-bang sounds.

Lin Mo then took out a Spirit Ball, accompanied by a flash of red light that instantly enveloped Da Zhen Feng.

"Whoosh!" Da Zhen Feng was instantly sucked into the Spirit Ball, disappearing from sight.

Jinling High School.

On Monday, high school students dressed in blue-and-white uniforms stood upon the square.

A balding Teaching Director stood there, full of vigor.

Lin Mo shook his head slightly, his gaze falling upon Lian Ni Chang before him.

She had tied her hair into a ponytail today, her snow-white skin especially attractive.

Even Lian Ni Chang in uniform stood out remarkably.

But as Lin Mo gazed intently, a soft exclamation interrupted his behavior.

"What are you staring at***?"

Lian Ni Chang turned slightly aside and instantly saw Lin Mo lowering his head, looking at her buttocks.

Her face flushed slightly as she muttered: "Lin Mo usually looks quite proper; how could he be this kind of person!"

Under Lian Ni Chang's gaze, Lin Mo embarrassedly scratched his head and guiltily waved his hand: "There's a fly on your butt."

"Then do you want to help me swat it?"

Lian Ni Chang stared straight at Lin Mo.

"Then let's just forget it!"

Lin Mo waved his hand and muttered: "If I hit it, I'll splatter you with a butt-full of blood."

"You!!"

Lian Ni Chang's cheeks flushed red, and just as she was about to continue speaking, Hongshao clapped his hands:

"Everyone's here for the draw, come quickly!"

Hongshao's appearance relieved Lin Mo, who hurried forward and thrust his hand into the lottery box.

Lin Mo fumbled around and quickly took out a folded sheet of paper, unfolding it to look.

It read a number 9!

Hongshao leaned over to look: "Tomorrow you're the ninth to compete!"

Jinling High School senior year, there are a total of 12 classes.

Six of them are Little Spirit Trainers, and the other six are support classes.

The so-called support class refers to studying forest rangers, breeders, coordinators, keepers, and the like.

Their assessment does not require Little Spirit battles.

Thus this senior-year competition is merely a contest among those six classes.

Each class has about forty people, at most under three hundred total.

"Ninth place is also pretty good!"

Lin Mo gripped the paper in his hand and said softly: "Finishing the match early also lets me go home early to train Little Spirits."

As Lin Mo departed, Lian Ni Chang quickly stepped forward and also conducted her own draw.

"Lin Mo, what number did you get?"

Holding her own number, Lian Ni Chang hurriedly chased after Lin Mo.

Glancing at Lian Ni Chang, Lin Mo couldn't help rubbing his nose and replied, "Number 9, what about you?"

"Number 5!"

Lian Ni Chang spread out the paper in her palm, on which was written a slip marked "Number 5": "After I finish the match, I'll come see you."

Looking at Lian Ni Chang in front of him, Lin Mo scratched his head like a thief: "Oh oh."

He fled away from the school.

Hesitating about this morning's lottery draw, the school gave a half-day off specially.

Including these days' expenses, Lin Mo still has ten thousand yuan in hand.

Compared to Lin Mo's own expenses, the Little Spirit's expenses are really too high.

It has to be said, raising Little Spirits is a money-burning endeavor.

With just this ten thousand yuan, Lin Mo estimates it won't last a month.

"This exam I must get top three!"

Lin Mo muttered a sound, then said: "After boosting Miaomiao's strength, perhaps we can try going to Longshou Mountain Secret Realm to hunt ordinary-level Little Spirits!"

Compared to novice-level Little Spirits, ordinary-level Spirits' strength hasn't increased much.

If they cooperate well, two peak novice-level Little Spirits have a chance to defeat an early ordinary-level Little Spirit.

"Energy Cubes are on big sale, initial Energy Cubes only need 200 yuan each!"

"Suitable for novice-level, ordinary-level Little Spirits to consume!"

"Just one piece is enough to replenish a Little Spirit's stamina!"

Hearing the hawking sounds from his ears, Lin Mo actually became interested and looked toward his side.

Only saw a shop assistant wearing a white shirt, holding up the Energy Cubes in his hand, hawking.

"These are really good stuff!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up; it can quickly restore a Little Spirit's stamina.

Originally he could only train three hours a night; with Energy Cubes, he can train a few hours a night.

This is also why the Little Spirits of wealthy families' children increase strength rapidly.

Others' Little Spirits can train for ten hours, while yours can only train for five hours.

Isn't the gap between them just revealed?

Lin Mo rubbed his chin and said to the clerk, "Give me ten, please!"

Seeing Lin Mo's arrival, the clerk broke into a smile and quickly said, "Sure! Sure!"

After a short while, the clerk was seen holding an exquisite gift box and handing it to Lin Mo.

Looking at the gift box before him, Lin Mo accordingly handed over 2000 yuan.

Holding ten Energy Cubes, he returned alone to the residential complex.

"Da Zhen Feng, the match is tomorrow; today we need to give it our all!"

Lin Mo threw out a Spirit Ball.

Accompanied by a flash of red light, a Da Zhen Feng appeared before him.

With Energy Cubes, I believe Da Zhen Feng can continue training without stopping.
