Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 80 Transformation
[Titles: Heavenly Rooster (7/60), Married to a Rooster, Fire-Shooting Rooster, Wind-blowing Rooster, Photocopy Rooster (not worn), Golden Rooster Standing on One Leg (not worn)]

[Bloodline: Golden Rooster (65%)]

[Realm: Early Stage of First-Tier Demonic Beast]

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

[Talent: Fighting Spirit]

[Tier 1 Talent: Feather Blade]

The two new items on the otherwise monotonous panel instantly perked Ji Cheng up.

The two talents are [Fighting Spirit] and [Feather Blade].

He first wanted to see what this "fighting spirit" thing was all about.

[Battle Spirit: Winning a fair and square open duel grants victory points. When a certain number of victories are achieved, there is a chance to activate the Battle Blood within you.]

Ji Cheng remained silent for a while.

If he understands correctly, this [Fighting Spirit] talent has always existed.

The panel now displays the ability to obtain the title through cockfighting.

"Upright and honorable" means that you cannot launch a sneak attack from the shadows, nor can you deliberately hide your strength to bully weaker opponents.

Public means there must be a certain number of spectators; private fights do not count.

Based on Ji Cheng's previous explorations, the rules are indeed as described, which explains why killing wolf demons in private does not yield victory points.

Firstly, the killing of the wolf demon was not a one-on-one battle; Big Yellow was also involved.

Secondly, the fight to kill the wolf demon was a private duel, not a public contest.

As for the many Zhou Mu's men he burned to death on Mangshan, that doesn't count. This [Battle Soul] must be one-on-one, just like cockfighting.

If there's any difference, it's that cockfighting used to be able to crush weaker opponents, but it's not anymore.

This should be a change that occurs after becoming a first-tier demon beast, which means that hiding one's cultivation level to bully weaker opponents is no longer allowed, and maliciously farming victory points is prohibited.

"So, I won't be able to earn points through cockfighting anymore?"

Ji Cheng felt a little regretful.

However, he was prepared for the worst and knew that he couldn't rely on cockfighting to gain titles forever.

Especially now that it has become a first-tier demon beast, it is really going too far to bully these fighting cocks that have not yet developed intelligence—why should fighting cocks make things difficult for each other?

Therefore, he felt no sense of loss at that moment and easily accepted it.

Under these rules, Ji Cheng could only think of two scenarios for the time being: the arena and the sect competition.

As for the so-called "probability of activating the fighting blood within the body," he could only make a wild guess, feeling that it was still a long way off.

Next, he looked at the first-tier talent [Feather Blade].

The demon race possesses innate talents; to be precise, this is an ability he awakened after becoming a first-tier demon beast.

Feathers transform into sharp blades; in close combat, the wings can slash like iron fans, while in long-range attacks, the feather blades can be shot out.

Furthermore, as Ji Cheng broke through his cultivation level, the power of his golden feather also saw a qualitative improvement.

Furthermore, the golden feather changed from one to two.

"Hehehe, isn't my level one demon beast a bit too strong?"

Ji Cheng felt that he was now incredibly strong.

Looking back at Da Huang, this level-one demon beast, it was simply a weakling.

If Ji Cheng were to face Zhou Mu's wolf demon again at this stage, he would have several ways to easily kill it.

Regarding titles.

Now that I've broken through to a higher level, I can wear another title.

The "Copy Chicken" is self-explanatory; you can wear it when you need it. As for the "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg," it has absolutely no grid.

Ji Cheng was determined to crush it.

For demonic beasts, bloodline is of paramount importance, just like the innate constitution of humans.

This Golden Rooster Bloodline has been stuck at 65% progress for a long time, it's time to shatter that title.

With a thought, the title of "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg" shattered completely, transforming into a wisp of chaotic energy and a cultivation technique called "Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg." He immediately infused this wisp of chaotic energy into his bloodline.

[Titles: Heavenly Chicken (7/60), Married Chicken Follows the Chicken, Fire-Shooting Chicken, Wind-Blowing Chicken, Copy Chicken (Not Wearing)]

[Bloodline: Golden Rooster (100%)]

[Realm: Early Stage of First-Tier Demonic Beast]

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

[Talent: Fighting Spirit]

[Tier 1 Talent: Feather Blade]

After a shiver, Ji Cheng's bloodline evolved into a 100% pure Golden Rooster bloodline.

However, he discovered that he still had a trace of chaotic energy left, but he couldn't inject it into the bloodline field.

He paused, realizing that the function of chaotic energy was to improve the purity of bloodlines, but to obtain a higher-level bloodline, he would need another opportunity.

"Hajitong, you bastard..."

Ji Cheng felt relieved; he had finally figured out all the functions of this chicken system.

However, he soon had a flash of inspiration.

If it were to transform into a human, what would happen then?
Name: Ji Cheng

Age: 17

Realm: Mortal

[Physical Ability: Above Average in Martial Arts]

[Titles: Heavenly Chicken (7/60), Married Chicken Follows the Chicken, Fire-Shooting Chicken, Wind-Blowing Chicken, Copy Chicken (Not Wearing)]

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

[Talent: Fighting Spirit]

He immediately transformed into human form and discovered that the panel was completely different. He had no spiritual root and only had martial arts talent of medium to high quality.

Fortunately, the title and both system talents are still there.

"Human body and demon body are two independent forms!"

Upon closer inspection, Ji Cheng realized that after transforming into human form, he did not possess the power of a demon beast; he was now just an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy.

The transformation of a demon beast into human form is not a simple transformation technique, but rather a true transformation into a human, possessing the soul and body of a human.

Ji Cheng was unsure whether his description was accurate enough.

However, he did indeed possess a human body completely separate from his demon beast identity.

Simply put, he has two forms: a demon body that can cultivate immortality, and a human body that can practice martial arts.

The Haji Tong exists in both forms simultaneously.

"Wow, I've become a BOSS! When my human form is defeated, I can still activate the second stage?"

Ji Cheng quickly understood how this mechanism worked.

He can switch between human and demon forms at will. When he is beaten to the point of death, he can switch to another form and be back to full health and mana.

Ji Cheng couldn't help but laugh. Haha, isn't this a bit too invincible?
He was already looking forward to it. What would he feel when the enemy finally managed to defeat him after using all their tricks, only to find that the BOSS had entered the second phase?

With this in mind, he quickly made plans for the future.

He cultivates both forms simultaneously: outwardly he cultivates the human form, while secretly he cultivates the demon form, using his human identity to conceal his demon beast identity.

"The problem now is that, in order to transform into a human, I need a human identity..."

Ji Cheng has decided to walk the world as a human, but as a grown man, he cannot appear out of thin air; he needs to assume an identity.

Especially in a small place like Wuzhen, everyone knows each other. Where did you come from? Naturally, people will wonder.

Since the human form has no cultivation level, it is naturally unable to use basic transformation techniques to impersonate others.

Thinking about this problem, Ji Cheng concluded that the only way to avoid suspicion was to first go outside Wuzhen, obtain a human identity, and then, under a suitable pretext, come to Wuzhen as an outsider.
