Chapter 17: Little Spirit Hunter!

At the sound of those words, Shi Yun's face tightened, and she stared blankly at Lin Mo, who was lining up to serve the meal.

The look in their eyes was very complicated.

Compared with the others, Lin Mo was considerably more relaxed at this moment.

After finishing lunch, Lin Mo leisurely returned to the classroom.

The advantage of a bye is not immediate promotion, but the ability to rest for several more hours.

He/she slept straight through until the afternoon.

Looking up, he/she saw Lian Ni Chang gazing at him/her softly.

"Hmm! Have you eaten?"

Lin Mo stretched lazily and muttered, "What time does the competition start this afternoon?"

Lian Ni Chang's vermilion lips twitched, and she couldn't help saying, "Two o'clock, but you have another bye."

"........"

Lin Mo scratched his head, looking puzzled, "I haven't drawn a lot yet!"

"The eight of us have already drawn."

"You are number nine."

"Alas!"

Lin Mo rubbed his hands, showing resignation, but a smile appeared on his lips, "Sorry about that, hehe."

For Lin Mo, the focus is the attribute fruit.

Winning without fighting is, of course, the best thing.

Now he/she has secured a guaranteed entry.

As long as another victory is achieved, they will qualify for the attribute fruit.

Lian Ni Chang glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's two o'clock; I'm going to the 8‑to‑4 competition!"

Watching Lian Ni Chang's back, Lin Mo scratched his head.

At this moment he felt somewhat dreamy, since the odds of getting a bye twice in a row are extremely low.

On the plaza.

The other eight had already stood in front of the Small Spirit Competition platform.

Not far away were the students who had already been eliminated.

They looked around here, pointing here and there.

And when Lin Mo appeared, he immediately sensed the envious gazes of the other eight.

The Teaching Director fanned himself, shielding the glaring sun.

"Let's begin!"

With the Teaching Director's command, the participants entered the lower arena one by one.

The others were unfamiliar with Lin Mo; only Lian Ni Chang was a classmate.

So he stood behind her, watching from a distance.

"Lian Ni Chang's luck isn't bad!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, murmuring softly.

Lian Ni Chang's opponent was the Mysterious Frog Grass, which possessed peak beginner‑level strength.

Although its power was inferior to the Mysterious Frog Grass.

However, in terms of attributes it held a huge advantage.

As long as no major basic mistakes are made.

It would be hard for Strong Chicken to lose.

"Strong Chicken"

The man opposite, upon seeing Strong Chicken, couldn't help frowning.

If any of the participants were to be chosen, Lian Ni Chang would certainly not be the opponent he wanted.

"Mysterious Frog Grass, we'll give it our all!"

The man gritted his teeth and shouted first, "Flying Leaf Quick Blade!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, razor‑sharp emerald leaves materialized, coalescing from the side of the Mysterious Frog Grass.

The emerald leaves were crystal clear.

From a distance they resembled countless razor‑sharp blades.

They swarmed densely toward Strong Chicken.

Lian Ni Chang remained calm, glanced at the Flying Leaf Quick Blade, and said, "Fire Spark!"

"Puff!"

Strong Chicken's mouth opened slightly, and a burst of scorching flame erupted from it.

The flames roared wildly, instantly engulfing the dense leaves.

"Crackle!"

The sharp sizzling sounds rang out.

The hot Fire Sparks instantly concealed the sky‑covering leaves.

In an instant, the emerald leaves were completely burned by the flame.

They turned into specks of dust, falling from mid‑air.

"It's my turn to attack!"

Lian Ni Chang's mouth curved into a smile, and she pointed at the Mysterious Frog Grass, "Jet Flame!"

Puff!

A scorching fireball erupted from Strong Chicken's mouth.

The flames, as if alive, surged upward in an instant.

In the blink of an eye it completely surrounded the Mysterious Frog Grass.

The flames kept drawing nearer.

It gave the Mysterious Frog Grass no time to react at all.

I concede!

The man opposite, unwilling to see the Mysterious Frog Grass hurt, immediately took out a Spirit Ball.

He pressed the switch.

A flash of red light swept by, instantly enveloping the Mysterious Frog Grass.

It was directly sucked into the Spirit Ball.

Lucky!

Lian Ni Chang, aware that luck was on her side, did not become complacent.

In just a little over ten minutes, all four battles had ended.

Teaching Director looked at the students below, nodded, and said, "Everyone worked hard today!"

Go home and rest well tonight; tomorrow will be the best contest!

Hard...

Hearing the word 'hard', Lin Mo couldn't help an embarrassed smile; the others were probably exhausted today.

Lin Mo actually found today's contest unusually easy.

There were only two contests, and both battles ended quickly.

His Da Zhen Feng didn't sustain even a single scratch.

After class, Lin Mo walked alone on the street.

Little Spirit Hunter Guild!

Seeing the guild ahead, Lin Mo strode in.

On a massive electronic screen, tasks were listed one after another.

Novice-level Hunter: Capture three green caterpillars, reward 2000 yuan.

Ordinary-level Task: Subdue a Drop Spider, reward 50000 yuan, 5 points!

Lin Mo stroked his chin, murmuring softly, "That Drop Spider must be the task the Little Spirit hunters mentioned this morning."

Looking at the posted tasks, it seemed none had been completed yet.

I want to become a Little Spirit hunter!

Lin Mo looked at the girl at the front desk and asked.

The girl slightly furrowed her brows, stared deeply at Lin Mo, and said, "All you need is a Little Spirit of at least novice-level strength, and you can become the most ordinary novice-level Little Spirit hunter!"

But novice-level Little Spirit hunters receive no subsidy!

Upon hearing that, Lin Mo smiled faintly, smoothly drew out his Da Zhen Feng, and said, "Let's test it!"

As for the subsidy, Lin Mo didn't mind.

His goal was clear: complete the task and get cash.

Gravity Ball!

Lin Mo stroked his chin; with just 30000 yuan, he could obtain that fossil.

The front desk woman moved swiftly.

Looking at the Da Zhen Feng displayed on the screen, she murmured, "It's true it's a novice-level Little Spirit, but such a weak Little Spirit isn't suitable for us Little Spirit hunters!"

Of course, that was just the girl's offhand remark.

Her hands, however, didn't slack.

Soon a delicate Little Spirit hunter certificate was produced.

Here's your Little Spirit hunter certificate!

The girl smiled lightly and explained, "You can take on tasks below ordinary level."

Thanks!

Lin Mo picked up the Little Spirit hunter certificate, waved at the girl, and turned to leave.

Returning to the residential area, it was already late night.

Meow!

The jet‑black Miaomiao leapt, landing in front of Lin Mo, its sharp eyes fixed on him.

Are you hungry?

Lin Mo gently scratched Miaomiao, then scooped a spoonful of Little Spirit Food and handed it to her.

Tomorrow there will be attribute fruit!

Lin Mo stroked Miaomiao's jet‑black fur, chuckled, "Then we can go to the Secret Realm to hunt ordinary-level Little Spirits!"
