Beast Taming: I Can Bestow Entries-Chapter 67 The Second Crystal Core

The Thunder Beast on the other side fell almost instantly when the bell tolled, but the Blazing Flame Fox still stood firm!

"Chirp~"

Xiao Jiu indicated that its legs felt a bit numb.

At this moment, all the eyes of the Thunder Dragon Tribe were on the Blazing Flame Fox.

They all had only one thought—

"There’s only one last Thunder Sound left, can this foreigner’s Blazing Flame Fox really create a miracle and successfully withstand the Nine-layered Thunder Sound?"

According to their ancestors’ records, a spiritual beast that completed the Nine-layered Baptism could possibly receive the blessing of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Bell.

But since the establishment of the Thunder Dragon Tribe, only three spiritual beasts could endure the Nine-layered Thunder Sound! The last time it happened was a hundred years ago!

A hint of surprise appeared on the High Priest’s face; she didn’t expect this foreigner’s spiritual beast to withstand eight Thunder Sounds in succession.

You must know that the pressure brought by each Thunder Sound doubles!

However, Chen Mo wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, Xiao Jiu at his home was overpowered, not to mention it had much more robust physical strength compared to spiritual beasts of the same level. Just the [Thunderbolt King] entry alone allowed it to exempt 50% of electric-type damage.

Even though the layers of Thunder Sound were in the form of sound waves, essentially, they were electro-type moves.

Dong!

The last bell tolled.

Heavy! Really heavy!

The pressure was like a mountain, transferring from its back to its limbs and bones, leaving Xiao Jiu almost breathless. The electric spiritual power within it was boiling, mad thunder danced around, and purple arcs flashed brightly under the night sky.

Even with multiple entry bonuses, this ninth Thunder Sound was still a huge challenge for it.

No one knew how long had passed.

At this moment, the passage of time seemed to slow considerably.

As the bell sound faded away, Xiao Jiu slowly opened its eyes and looked at Chen Mo.

"Chirp?" (Is it over?)

"Yes, it’s over; you’re the best!"

Chen Mo hugged the little fox tightly in his arms.

Due to their contract, he could feel the pressure Xiao Jiu endured, as well as its resilience. At the last moment, it persisted purely by willpower.

His choice was not wrong; Xiao Jiu had a tenacity that most spiritual beasts lacked.

"Chirp!" (Let’s have a feast after going back!)

"No problem!"

At this time, an ancient character suddenly lit up on the azure, ancient face of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Bell. This character then transformed into an ethereal lightning and detached from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Bell, landing on Xiao Jiu’s forehead.

"This is the Thunder God’s Rune, also known as the ’Second Crystal Core.’ It can be used to store and release electric spiritual power, its function nearly identical to an electric crystal core. Moreover, as the spiritual beast’s growth level increases, the electric spiritual power that this thunder rune can hold will also increase," explained Elder Ao Qing beside Ling Lan upon seeing the confusion on everyone’s face.

This knowledge was recorded in the Thunder Dragon Tribe ancestors’ documents.

"I get it; with this Thunder God’s Rune, it’s equivalent to Xiao Jiu having a larger mana pool," Chen Mo quickly understood the function of the Thunder God’s Rune.

"Pretty good, it makes up for Xiao Jiu’s long-standing mana shortage weakness."

Since the "Awakening" of the electro-type, Xiao Jiu had been troubled by the issue of "mana shortage."

At the Awakened Stage, its internal spiritual power wasn’t enough even to release a full version of the high order skill.

After advancing to Transcendent, although it could release full versions of Thunder Armor and Thorny Thunder Spur, the duration wasn’t long.

Instant Thunder Combo, Group Thunder...

These moves generally consumed a large amount of electric spiritual power.

With this Thunder God’s Rune, its spiritual power doubled, greatly enhancing endurance, which was a significant boost to its overall combat power.

"Chirp!" (Master, mirror!)

The Blazing Flame Fox felt that there was something new on its forehead and worried about being disfigured.

"Such a vanity case."

Chen Mo borrowed a mirror from Yun Shu.

In the mirror, at the center of the Blazing Flame Fox’s forehead, amidst the spotless white fur, there was a cyan lightning symbol, with what seemed to be electricity surging inside it, emitting a gleaming light.

It didn’t disfigure it; instead, it added a touch of mystery and nobility to the Blazing Flame Fox.

"Chirp!"

Apart from that, the Blazing Flame Fox noticed that its physical qualities significantly improved after the Nine-layered Thunder Sound Baptism.

It was almost like being equipped with the effect of 2 [Fitness Enthusiasts].

The growth level of the electric type also achieved a breakthrough, reaching Transcendent 2-stage, just a step away from Transcendent 3-tier.

Moreover, this breakthrough wasn’t like a forced improvement akin to "taking drugs."

On the contrary, the spiritual power within its electric crystal core became more refined!

Lastly, Xiao Jiu found that its speed of absorbing electric spiritual power was slightly faster. The Nine-layered Thunder Sound seemed to have slightly elevated its electric-type talent.

"Brother Chen Mo is so amazing!"

The young girl Ling Lan couldn’t help but said.

"Can I hug it?"

"Chirp!"

Upon hearing the little girl’s request, the "sociable" Blazing Flame Fox proactively approached, rubbing its furry head against Ling Lan’s palm.

"So well-behaved!"

"After the worshipping is the dance offering segment. Guests, would you like to join us?"

Elder Ao Qing smiled and asked everyone.

Not far away, the people of the Thunder Dragon Tribe lit bonfires with torches, and these bonfires circled together, forming a massive circle.

People of the tribe surrounded the ring of fire, either singing at the top of their lungs or hand in hand dancing.

Next, Chen Mo saw two young warriors from the tribe cross the bonfire and summon their spiritual beasts to battle in the field surrounded by roaring fire.

"A dance offering, offering our songs and dances to the Thunder God, praying for the Thunder God’s protection over our tribe’s safety. Besides, the dance offering includes spiritual beast battles, where the younger generations will duel with their spiritual beasts in this segment, this is the best opportunity to showcase themselves!"

Battles in the fiery field were very fierce, and after one side was defeated, a new challenger quickly stepped up.

It was like a tournament.

However, in each duel, the spiritual beasts’ growth levels were roughly similar on both sides. Whenever someone consecutively defeated several opponents, the surrounding crowd would erupt in cheers.

Members of the Thunder Team were also infected by this enthusiastic atmosphere; after seeing an Extraordinary 7th Rank Thunder Bird take the stage, Yun Shu brought the Light Frost Snake to the center of the ring.

The Light Frost Snake lived up to its reputation as a violent "Mage," continuously defeating two opponents with frantic lightning blasts.

Facing the third opponent of equal strength, because of insufficient spiritual power, it was defeated by a Thunderstorm Ape.

Below the stage, after watching a few battles, Chen Mo had an unexpected discovery:

In the Thunder Dragon Tribe, spiritual beasts with growth levels of Extraordinary High Stage and above had extremely robust physical attributes as if they had a natural [Thick-skinned][Swift] aura.

He suddenly recalled a file he had read before this journey regarding the Thunder Dragon Tribe, which mentioned that the Thunder Dragon Tribe supposedly mastered a "Dragon Vein" blessing ceremony that could bestow spiritual beasts with the bloodline of the True Dragon.

And True Dragon, no matter where, is synonymous with power. Having even a bit of True Dragon bloodline could significantly enhance a spiritual beast’s physical attributes.
