Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 12 First-Tier Monster

This time, Ji Cheng was able to perceive the demonic aura more precisely.

The demonic energy coursed through his body like ignited liquor, causing a burning sensation in his meridians, bones, and internal organs wherever it passed.

This energy is violent, savage, and full of primal bestiality.

During the refining process, Ji Cheng felt as if he were fighting a ferocious dog demon, and it was anything but easy.

Meanwhile, the big yellow dog's training has entered a crucial moment.

Its aura became extremely unstable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to a higher realm.

Ji Cheng pondered to himself, wondering how long the big yellow dog had been lingering in the Demon Transformation Realm. In the past few days, it had drunk all of the young master's bathwater, which was probably equivalent to several years of cultivation. If it successfully broke through to the realm tonight, it wouldn't be surprising.

An hour later, Ji Cheng finished refining the wisp of demonic energy.

【Title: One-Legged Rooster (12/20)】

[Bloodline: Golden Rooster (65%)]

[Boundary: Bird of Prey (Medium)]

[Talent: Observation, Listening, Inquiry, and Palpation]

Having broken through a minor realm and reached the strength of [Raptor (Medium)], Ji Cheng felt that all his attributes had evolved significantly.

His beak and claws could easily tear apart the cage that bound him, and with a flap of his wings, he could soar into the sky like an eagle.

Now, in his eyes, fighting cocks and big red roosters are nothing but prey.

"It's a pity I didn't have the chance to test my flying ability."

After breaking through to become a raptor, Ji Cheng values ​​flight ability the most.

Chickens are birds and have the ability to fly, but they are often too heavy to fly high or far.

In fact, when Ji Cheng became a [Raptor (Weak)], the strength of his wings was so great that he already had the ability to fly long distances.

Now that he has become a [Raptor (Medium)], the power of his wings is even greater, and his flying ability rivals that of an eagle.

This put Ji Cheng at ease. At least if he found something amiss at the Zhao residence in the future, he could choose to flee far away.

As Ji Cheng was feeling the changes in his body, under the old persimmon tree, the big yellow dog's aura suddenly became much stronger and quickly stabilized.

"He broke through? A first-tier demonic beast?"

Ji Cheng observed the big yellow dog intently. Its appearance showed no change, but its aura was more than ten times more terrifying than before.

The big yellow dog has truly succeeded in transforming into a demon, gaining a rank and becoming a true demon beast. Both its intelligence and strength have undergone a qualitative leap.

boom!
Suddenly, Ji Cheng was locked onto by a gaze, and in an instant, he seemed to see the real form of the big yellow dog, a monster half a zhang tall with a blue face and fangs.

Upon closer inspection, the big yellow dog was still the same lame big yellow dog; the scene Ji Cheng had just witnessed seemed to be an illusion.

However, next to Ji Cheng, the big red rooster and the two newly bought fighting roosters were already lying in their cages, trembling with fear.

Ji Cheng's heart skipped a beat, realizing something was wrong. The big yellow dog had successfully transformed into a demon, and its senses must have been elevated to a new level.

Given that he had just refined a wisp of demonic energy, the big yellow dog should have sensed that this fighting rooster was somewhat unusual.

Step by step.

The big yellow dog walked towards Ji Cheng, its eyes filled with excitement and longing, clearly regarding this special fighting rooster as a delicious prey.

From a chicken's perspective, even without revealing its true form as a monster, the big yellow dog still exudes a sense of oppression no less than that of a tiger hunting for food.

When it was about ten feet away, the iron chain tied to the old persimmon tree taut, preventing it from taking another step forward.

As if just remembering the chain, the big yellow dog stood up, unhooked the collar, and continued to approach Ji Cheng in the cage.

"Big Yellow, sit down!"

In the critical moment, Ji Cheng spoke in human language, imitating Master Zhao's usual tone.

The big yellow dog was startled and immediately sat obediently on the ground, panting and wagging its tail. Then, it looked around but didn't see Master Zhao anywhere.

"Wang!"

Realizing that the one who had just spoken was the fighting rooster in front of him, the big yellow dog's anger surged instantly, and it barked loudly at Ji Cheng.

From its eyes, you could see that besides anger, it also felt very fearful and bewildered.

In its understanding, a demon beast must cultivate to a very high level before it can speak human language. How did this fighting rooster in front of it manage to do that?

Ji Cheng pecked open the cage switch with his beak and walked out of the cage on his own.

After all, he could fly. If he hid in the cage and the dog demon made a move, he would only face certain death.

His action of pecking open the cage switch clearly proved that he was intelligent, and the big yellow dog took two steps back with considerable fear.

"Wang!"

The big yellow dog crouched down, assuming a fighting stance.

It was eager to know what kind of creature this intelligent chicken, capable of speaking human language, was. If it was a powerful chicken demon, it couldn't detect any demonic aura on it.

"Big Yellow, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to reveal my identity to you."

"In my past life, I was actually a deity in the Heavenly Court. You've heard of the Rabbit Star Lord, right? Unfortunately, I stumbled upon the affair between Erlang Shen and Chang'e, and was falsely accused by Chang'e. Erlang Shen then plotted against me and banished me to the mortal world."

"In this life, I was reborn as an ordinary fighting rooster, but it doesn't matter. My memories are still there. As long as you VIP me 50... oh no, as long as you follow me, one day when I regain my cultivation, we'll fight our way to the Heavenly Court, steal Chang'e, and kill the Three-Eyed Cock. Then you can be the Celestial Hound!"

"Wang!"

Ji Cheng thought he had made a big enough promise, but the big yellow dog suddenly pounced on him!

Hehe, you can't fool me.

Ji Cheng was also prepared. He flapped his wings and instantly took flight, soaring three zhang above the ground before landing steadily on the top of the old persimmon tree.

The big yellow dog missed its target and barked loudly at him from below. Ji Cheng felt extremely alarmed and said:

"Big Yellow, what do you mean? Do you want Chang'e? Fine, I can give her to you, but you have to help me fight Erlang Shen, how about it?"

The only response he got was barking; clearly, the big yellow dog knew he was talking nonsense.

However, standing on the branch of the old persimmon tree, he no longer felt any sense of crisis; he had wings, while the big yellow dog did not.

He earnestly said to the big yellow dog, "Big Yellow, you can't eat me. Look, there are three chickens over there. You can eat them as you like. It's fine if you eat them, but I am Master Zhao's favorite fighting rooster. The entire Zhao family depends on me to make money. If you eat me, you will soon be made into dog meat hot pot."

Dogs are inherently intelligent, and now that it has become a demon, the big yellow dog's intelligence is comparable to that of a human. Ji Cheng believes it can understand this principle.

Ji Cheng continued, "Dahuang, I think you wouldn't want others to discover that you're a demon beast, would you?"

As soon as he said that, the big yellow dog in the yard immediately stopped barking.

"Big Yellow, let's make a pact to live in peace and keep to ourselves. Otherwise, I'll fly over Wuzhen every day, shouting that the lame big yellow dog from the Zhao family is a monster. Do you think you'll survive that?"

Ji Cheng's threat was very effective: "You can't catch me, but I can kill you first. Come on, let's see who's afraid of whom."

The big yellow dog kept pawing at the ground with its front paws, growling and baring its teeth at Ji Cheng. Ji Cheng's threat made it both angry and anxious.

Ji Cheng, high and mighty, enjoyed watching the big yellow dog get anxious.

He believed that the big yellow dog, being a first-tier demon beast, could climb the old persimmon tree if it wanted to, but the big yellow dog also knew that if it climbed up, Ji Cheng would fly away, so it would be meaningless.

"Yo hoo!"

Ji Cheng spread his wings and took the opportunity to experience his flying ability. He circled around the Zhao residence like an eagle before landing on the old persimmon tree.

This flight demonstration completely shattered the big yellow dog's spirits, making it clear that it had no chance of catching Ji Cheng.

"Wang!"

After recognizing the current situation, the big yellow dog calmed down and began to think about the suggestions made by Ji Cheng.
