Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 66 The Celestial Chicken Must Not Be Revealed! (Please Read Further and Vote for Monthly Tickets)

The Green Bamboo Gang's cockfighting arena.

During this period, because Master Zhao's invincible cockfighting team had won too many matches, few people in Wuzhen were willing to gamble against it. The Green Bamboo Gang's cockfighting arena posted a reward of two hundred taels of silver to encourage both novice and experienced cockfighters to defeat Master Zhao's invincible cockfighting team.

The saying goes, "A great reward will surely bring forth brave men," and this tactic proved quite effective, especially among outsiders who all came with the mindset of trying their luck against Master Zhao.

"In this round, Master Zhao's cockfighting is won!"

Master Zhao first had a contest with a peddler from out of town, which Ji Cheng easily won.

Next, a hunter from the next town came forward with a black-necked chicken to challenge Master Zhao.

"Oh dear, so close! This time, Master Zhao's cockfighting will still be the winner!"

After winning two cockfights in a row, Ji Cheng ignored the various reactions of the people around him and opened the title panel.

[Titles: Heavenly Chicken (0/60), Turkey, Wind-blowing Chicken, Copy Chicken (Not Wearing), Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg (Not Wearing)]

[Bloodline: Golden Rooster (65%)]

[Realm: Perfect Demon Transformation]

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

The progress bar has been updated, and a new title has appeared.

The celestial rooster must not be revealed.

You can perfectly conceal your presence; no one can detect your demonic beast identity.

Your destiny has been sealed away; no one can divine or predict your fate.

[You have acquired a stealth technique called "Hidden Chicken Killer".]

"Excellent!" Ji Cheng was overjoyed. This was exactly the title he wanted, one that could conceal the aura of a demonic beast.

No matter what level one cultivates to in the future, this title will be of utmost importance. It can conceal one's aura, hide one's cultivation level, and shield one from heavenly secrets, making it extremely practical.

In this way, not only would a cultivator be unable to discern his demonic beast identity, but even a Nascent Soul cultivator who could see through illusions would be unable to recognize him.

This is crucial for future transformations.

In addition, there is a stealth technique called "Hidden Chicken Killing," and as soon as Ji Cheng thought of it, all kinds of information about this technique came to mind.

This precious technique requires him to cultivate it himself, and the entire technique emphasizes the word "hidden".

Darkness refers to nighttime, and also to shadowy places where sunlight cannot reach.

Ji Cheng studied it carefully.

When one has mastered this technique to the point of being able to stand in the shadows, one becomes almost one with them, making one difficult to detect.

When proficient, one can skillfully conceal their presence and move stealthily at night or in dark places.

When you reach a certain level of proficiency, you can obtain the "Invisible Fighting Chicken" effect.

When walking in this state, it will not make any noise or cause any fluctuations in the airflow in the space, and it can also shield one from divine sense probing.

This ability is exceptionally strong.

As we all know, even if you conceal your aura, you will inevitably make noise when you move around, causing slight fluctuations in the airflow. The five senses of a powerful martial artist are extremely sharp, and cultivators have divine sense to detect your presence.

Cultivating "Hidden Chicken Killer" to a minor level grants the effect of an "invisible fighting chicken," which can shield the senses of martial artists and the divine sense of cultivators, making it visible only to the naked eye.

"In other words, as long as I don't appear in the other party's field of vision, it's equivalent to perfectly concealing my presence!"

Ji Cheng was slightly excited. Being able to evade the divine sense of cultivators was truly a treasure of stealth!

Only by mastering the "Hidden Chicken Killing" technique to a minor level can it truly be put to use. The earlier beginner and advanced levels are just for show, only good enough to deal with enemies with weak perception.

The next stage is mastery.

By mastering the "Hidden Chicken Killing" technique, one can "walk in the void" for three seconds, becoming completely invisible, as if walking in the void, unseen and imperceptible to the naked eye. At its peak, one can "walk in the void" for five seconds.

The above is a brief introduction to each stage of cultivating this stealth technique, "Hidden Chicken Killer".

After reading it, Ji Cheng couldn't stay calm. Walking in the void for three to five seconds? Are you kidding me?
At his current speed, 100 meters per second is just a stroll for him, and his top speed can reach 200 meters per second. He can walk in the air for three to five seconds, which is simply invincible!

As expected of "Hidden Killer Chicken", if this were used for assassination and sneak attacks, who could withstand it?
Ji Cheng felt that the title of "Heavenly Chicken Must Not Be Revealed" he had obtained this time was too overpowered. Just based on the accompanying stealth technique "Hidden Chicken Killing", its value was immeasurable.

Now, Ji Cheng feels that he has no real strength at all, he's just a bunch of tricks up his sleeve.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh. Haha, is that right?
……

The main hall of the Snake Gang.

"You mean, the Zhao family has a very powerful fighting rooster that has never lost a fight in nearly a hundred matches?"

Zhou Mu gathered everyone to discuss how to compete with Su Qing for the Blood-Patterned Snake Eye Fruit. Someone mentioned Zhao Erye's cockfighting. Suddenly, the blind Taoist priest, who was sitting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked a question.

"Yes... I'm not entirely sure if there have been nearly a hundred fights, but Zhao Chongwu's fighting cock has indeed never lost."

The martial artist replied, "I don't know why the blind Taoist suddenly asked this."

He was somewhat frightened by the blind Taoist's wide-open, cloudy, and lifeless eyes, as if he were being stared at by a corpse, a truly chilling sight.

Zhou Mu glanced at the blind Taoist priest and suddenly remembered the cross-eyed old master from before. To be honest, this blind Taoist priest and that cross-eyed old master were quite similar.

Zhou Mu asked with amusement, "Could it be that even the most devoted worshippers enjoy cockfighting?"

"Haha, I know a little bit, I know a little bit."

The blind Taoist stroked his beard. He didn't understand cockfighting, but he could possess a fighting cock, which was equivalent to him personally taking to the field.

He continued, "Young Master Zhou, some time ago I observed that eagle demon, which looked like a chicken in disguise. Now I hear that the Zhao family has a fighting rooster that is quite extraordinary, so I can't help but connect that eagle demon with it."

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, then slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

The blind Taoist priest was puzzled and asked him what he was laughing at.
Zhou Mu smiled and said, "The blind Taoist reminds me of an old friend."

"Oh? That old friend of mine was blind, just like me?"

"No, he has cross-eyed."

The hall was eerily quiet. All the martial artists remained silent, their eyes fixed on Zhou Mu and the blind Taoist.

Although the blind Taoist was displeased, he could not show it. He simply asked about the cockfight between the Snake Gang and Zhao Chongwu.

Therefore, Zhou Mu recommended Xu Dingsheng to the blind Taoist priest.

Let those two brilliant strategists slowly figure out how to fight Zhao Chongwu like a cockfighting machine.

Soon, the blind Taoist priest went to Xu Dingsheng's house.

"Please forgive me, I really dare not participate in the Snake Gang's cockfighting anymore!"

As soon as the blind Taoist explained his purpose, Xu Dingsheng knelt down with a thud and frantically kowtowed, begging for mercy.

He had previously worked for the Snake Gang and almost lost his life. He survived by pretending to be crazy. However, he was slapped by his brother-in-law, who worked for the Snake Gang, and to this day, he still needs to brew medicine to recuperate.

He never wanted to fight cocks with anyone again in his life. He invented a term called "no talk of chickens," which means that no matter who comes to his house as a guest, they cannot talk about anything related to chickens.

This shows just how deep the shadow in his heart really is.

　Forget it, we're still a long way from a thousand monthly votes, hahaha.

　　There are no pebbles, you hakimi.

　　No problem, we'll keep pushing forward next month.
