128 Chapter 127: King of Chickens! (2/2)

Shit! I almost bit my own tongue!

How the heck is our Lord able to understand what this Chicken was saying at all?!

Or is he actually doing that on purpose just to caught me off guard?

Hey! I almost died tragically there!

”Y-You are really able to understand what this chicken was saying?” he asked sounding a little bit indignant.

”Indeed.. Cucko here just said that they could communicate with you two telepathically if you just hold out your palm right in front of them..” Duan Li answered.

Oh? Just like that?

That's simple enough!

Wei Shang hold out his palm facing Cucko.

Peck!

ARGH!

Wei Shang jumped up as he shrieked in pain.

His palm just got pecked by Cucko!

”Damn it! What's your problem?!” Wei Shang bellowed out towards Cucko.

Although as a cultivator, he was long used to being injured and could persevere through numerous types of pain, getting pecked by a chicken was definitely a first for him!

Right after the fright, he was just about to go forward and slap that impudent chicken in the head before a voice resounded inside his mind.

”Settle down fool.”

Eh? What is this voice?

”It's me, Cucko, King of the Chickens!” the voice replied haughtily.

”It's.. this.. how is this possible?” Wei Shang said as his jaw dropped.

Duan Li chuckled.

”Since you had tempered your body with the blood essence, naturally, they run inside your veins. Cucko pecked your palm to fuse its blood with yours using the blood essence as a medium to communicate.” Duan Li explained.

Ah.. so that's how it is..

”Although.. you had to be pecked another 12 more times since there are still another 12 chickens here..” Duan Li added.

”...” Wei Shang and Wei Wang.

They could only hold out their palm with helplessness and resignation and let the chickens do it.

Peck! Peck! Peck!

...

”Di Rou, go meet up with Shen Lu later on and temper your body with the blood essence. Not only would it increase your physical body strength and potential, it would also allow you to communicate with Cucko and his brothers as well.” Duan Li instructed.

”Di Rou understands Master!” she replied.

Duan Li then proceeded to instruct her and the twins to teach these chickens any Shinobi Skill arts like concealment or stealth arts if possible.

He intended for them to not only become the security system within his residence court, but also as a special intelligence task force!

After giving them their orders, Duan Li then headed out to the Library of the academy where he continued to read some more books regarding basic skill arts such as palm, fist and sword arts.

To his surprise, reading these books was so easy that he only had to breeze through them and could finish roughly a hundred books within an hour!

Those around him had mixed reaction to this sight, some who knew how capable Duan Li were marveled at him, some were indifferent, but there were also others who looked at him with contempt.

”Hey, that's the guy I was talking about! His fame right now continues to shoot through the roof!”

”So that's how he looked like.. pretty standard I must say..”

”Don't judge him by his outlook, he is stronger than Shen Murong and even two seniors couldn't hold out a candle against him during a duel match along with 8 other participants at the same time!”

”What?! Are you for real?”

The crowds continued to whisper as their gazes locked onto him, turning Duan Li to become like an exotic animal in a zoo.

Feeling uncomfortable, Duan Li left the Library and headed out to the Cafeteria to eat.

”Hey, its Duan Li! Where are the rest of your party members?” a voice said from behind him as they queued to get their food from the serving trays.

Eh?

Turning his head around slightly, Duan Li recognized these two familiar individuals right away.

”Ahh its senior Dong Jinghai and Wu Jin!” Duan Li said as he bowed a little bit.

This was a form of respect one should show against their seniors, no matter how strong their cultivation realm were.

After all, if one does not have any form of honor and respect to anyone just because they were strong, they're just the trash of society!

Facing against an enemy though, that's an entirely different thing altogether.

In the world of cultivation, cultivators with a lifelong feud would curse at each other's mother, father and ancestors!

”Most of them had classes, while others were busy with their own stuff..” Duan Li answered.

”I see.. well, let us sit together!” Wu Jin said with a hearty laugh.

As they eat on the same table, there were others who tried to listen to their conversations, but they did not dare to do it so openly with Duan Li's fame and the two Seniors beside him.

Dong Jinghai recalled how they were still bewildered at their loss against him, a fresh junior at that.

At which, Duan Li shrugged it off and chuckled as he said;

”Seniors, had it been a real battlefield where you two are coming at me with your life on the line.. I would probably lose..”

”Don't be too humble, we too know of how much you were holding yourself back in that fight before, but its fine!” Dong Jinghai said, his impression of Duan Li grew favorable.

”Speaking of the real battlefield, the monster stampede is just around the corner.. there would be bound to be many casualties this time around..” Wu Jin sighed.
