“No. The name is too catchy. It is true, you are descendants of Suzaku .. but that name could harm us!”
Adam immediately explained. Since it was not forbidden for the rooster to move, the creature tilted its head while looking at the handsome young man humanely.
‘Are you so cowardly?’
If you could talk, maybe the question was directly thrown to Adam. Merely, the young man insisted on not using such a conspicuous name. He even ignored the chicken's insulting gaze.
Adam suddenly remembered his best friend Nicholas. The blonde boy had Nick call. Looking towards Black Chicken, his eyes twinkled.
“How about Nix? Nix from the word Phoenix. Isn't it short, cool, and easy to remember?”
“...”
The rooster was silent for a while then crowed cheerfully. Obviously, the creature agreed. Even his eyes conveyed what he wanted to say.
‘Yes! Call this one Mr Nix from now on!’
Seeing how the rooster is still so arrogant, Adam plans to teach the chicken the values of life. Yes ... rather than the value of life, it is more towards how we should live well and comfortably.
Adam tidied up the room first and dumped some broken furniture into the trash. Although the place was neat and beautiful, he himself did not like to keep expensive paintings, expensive vases, or antiques. So, everything is safe.
After cleaning the room, Adam takes Nix to the kitchen. He then had the rooster observe from the dining table while he started doing something.
Adam took the chicken out of the fridge. In front of Nix, he chopped chicken, vegetables, and prepared herbs. The young man actually made chicken soup in front of a smart rooster. Sometimes he would explain.
“Don't be too arrogant. We don't know how strong the enemy is in the shadows. Know what happens if you get defeated?” Seeing Nix shake his humanely, Adam pointed at the steaming pot then said, “You will be cut and then made into such soup. You want?”
How come!
Nix crows as if to say he disagrees. The rooster felt strong and was very difficult to deal with. Even he slightly mocked Adam for not being able to rival him.
“How about you are fast and have a sharp beak? In the end, I caught you, right? I mean ... being caught means being slaughtered, being slaughtered means one pot of chicken soup. Do you understand?”
Although somewhat doubtful of the truth, in the end Nix nodded humanly. Seeing that made Adam satisfied.
If anyone saw a handsome young man talking to a chicken, they would have thought that person had gone mad.
Despite looking silly and stupid, Adam knows that Nix is not just any chicken. Perhaps because he was quite confident in his system, he assumed the genes from Suzaku made the chicken smarter. Yes ... even though it still looks like an ordinary rooster.
Either because of being too excited or what, Adam did not feel sleepy at all. By the time he finished cooking, the clock had already shown three o'clock in the morning.
Adam did not eat it. After all, what he had done before was only an example for Nix. The young man planned to eat it later at breakfast. Although it should heat it up first and it tastes a bit different, it's the best choice for now.
“Then I will wait for the sunrise on the roof.”
After cooking, Adam climbed to the roof. Unlike the house he bought, this cafe has a flat roof. More precisely, the difference with a precarious roof with cast.
Adam felt like a coincidence because the building he bought had a good position to see the sunrise or sunset. Arriving at the roof, the young man looked around the still empty.
Initially Adam planned to make the roof as a place to relax the workers after the cafe closed. It seems that the plan should be slightly changed.
Sitting directly without rolling out the pedestal, Adam who was waiting for the sunrise started playing with his cellphone. What he was doing now was searching for information on the whereabouts of ghosts, spirits, or other spiritual beings.
After searching long enough, Adam could only shake lightly.
What Adam found on the internet were mostly edited photos, fabricated rumors, and obscure videos. It's likely that only people who are fad and want what they make go viral.
Seeing the sun about to rise, Adam immediately turned off the phone. Ignoring Nix who was sitting nearby, he began to sit in the lotus position. The young man then began to breathe in a certain rhythm as it was embedded in his memory.
Adam became calmer and calmer. Not moving from its place, the air of its existence became increasingly thin. If not taken care of carefully, the person who sees it at a glance may think of it as a statue. It really blends with the nature around it.
Feeling the first rays of the day, his skin felt warm. He began to absorb Qi which could be considered thin through his breathing and skin absorption.
After accumulating enough Qi, Adam started guiding Qi through the veins in his body. Without hurrying, the young man made his Qi move according to the direction in his mind.
After patiently guiding Qi through the complicated route, finally one rotation was completed. Adam felt a warm current spreading throughout his body. Makes it more energized. Not only that, he also felt that his entire body was like iron ore being heated and tempered slowly.
Slowly but surely, Adam felt his body become stronger.
Ignoring the feeling of happiness that had arisen, Adam returned to gather his Qi and started cultivating. Since he did not yet have a Qi gathering point, he absorbed the Qi then immediately circulated it throughout the body.
The process is actually quite simple. Collect the Qi and then circulate it throughout the body through a specific route that has been determined. It resembled an iron ore that was heated slowly then started to be forged bit by bit.
Once his body became good enough, Adam would start building a Qi gathering center in his dantian, where he would store his Qi reserves to fight. His weak body still needed a lot of changes before he could do that.
After all, Adam is still a beginner and needs to adjust. What he needed in the meantime was to continue training to improve his body. Live what is in front of your eyes before you go any further!
Without notice, time passed and his watch showed at six in the morning.
At that time, Adam could still practice to absorb and purify Qi. Merely, compared to some special time, the speed of Qi gathering was several times slower. So he decided to stop.
Exhaling a long breath, thick steam shot out from the young man's mouth. He then stood up and stretched his body. After that, Adam tried to clench his hand. His expression suddenly changed.
“Strengths like this ..” Adam murmured softly. “Is cultivation indeed magical like this?”
If it is like this ..maybe I will ascend all the way to the Silver Spirit tier in one month.
When Adam thought about it, a cruel note from the system appeared in his mind.
The limit for now was Bronze Spirit level (high).
In order to raise the self-limit, as a Beast Master the host must level up the Spirit Beast first. The requirements to level up are as follows.
Silver Spirit level, one Silver-level Spirit Beast.
Gold Spirit level, two Gold-level Spirit Beasts.
Platinum Spirit level, three platinum-level Spirit Beasts.
…
Seeing the cold and cruel note made Adam feel depressed. He then turned his head towards the chicken sitting beside him. Observing that stupid face, the corner of Adam's lips twitched.
That means the system forces me to turn a chicken into a Phoenix?
It's not that I refuse, it's just .. isn't that too much?
