My Poor Rooster with the Big Red Comb

Confused, Liu Tao raised his hand and made a move with his palm.

"Bang!"

His palm mark flew along with a beam of white light and the roar of a dragon. The walls of the secret room vibrated, and a deep palm mark was indented on the wall, along with cracks.

"I really made it to the Dragon State!"

"Moreover, it is a Major Perfection!!"

Liu Tao was astonished.

He looked at his palm then towards the palm mark on the wall.

The palm mark was 9.9 inches. That was the sign of a Major Perfection.

The Liu family was a family of physical cultivators. They trained their physical strength instead of spiritual energy. Every single bottleneck was very difficult to transcend. However, once a breakthrough was made, it would be the most powerful of the equivalent level.

At this moment, Liu Tao had made a breakthrough to the Dragon State and achieved Major Perfection.

With this ability, he could be considered a "martial arts master"!

"Our Liu family now has a martial arts master!"

Liu Tao was in a daze.

However, when he suddenly recalled the strange scene earlier on, he felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be… could it be that our ancestor showed his power?!"

Liu Tao froze with his mouth agape.

With some confusion and curiosity, he rushed out of the secret room and went to the ancestral temple. He knelt in front of the spirit tablet of Liu Fan and began to pay his respects to him.

"Liu Tao thanks you, Ancestor, for watching over me!"

"I will burn incense sticks for you!"

"I will burn incense paper for you!"

"I will kowtow to you!"

"Thank you, Ancestor, for helping me with the breakthrough to become a martial arts master!"

Liu Tao was very sincere. He kowtowed and paid his respects to Liu Fan's spirit tablet with excitement and respect.

If this was not his ancestor's doing, what else could be the reason behind his strange breakthrough?

At that moment, his respect level for Liu Fan had peaked!

The incense paper was burning in the basket. With the wind blowing in from the window, the smoke began to fly around and the ashes fell on Liu Tao.

In the coffin, Liu Fan saw a huge number of respect points flying out of Liu Tao's head. It was a huge patch of green…

"Respect points +3000."

Liu Fan was delighted. He did not dote on Liu Tao for nothing.

"The Love of the Ancestor — Smooth Sailing Spell, leave!"

"The Love of the Ancestor — the Spell of Trickery and Deception, go!"

Liu Fan lifted the Smooth Sailing Spell from Liu Tao and once again put the Spell of Trickery and Deception on him.

The progress of a family depended on a cunning Clan Head. He had to have a mindset as sly as that of a fox and deal with things unscrupulously.

The Spell of Trickery and Deception acted upon Liu Tao.

At that moment, Liu Tao, who was in the midst of paying respects to Liu Fan, suddenly froze. His gaze changed and he gave a sly smile.

Outside the ancestral temple, footsteps were heard. From the sound, it appeared there were many people approaching.

Liu Tao rolled his eyes and bit his lips until a trace of blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, he disrupted his blood flow and caused his face to turn extremely pale. He also made use of his powers to control the aura of the Dragon State and instead exuded the aura of the Fish Dive State.

Outside the ancestral temple, Liu Dahai and the group of Elders had arrived. A group of members of the Liu family followed along.

They were very anxious and worried. When they saw Liu Tao paying his respects to their ancestor, their heart skipped a beat.

Oh, no!

Did our Clan Head fail in his breakthrough again?!

Making a breakthrough required at least several hours.

However, it had only been nearly an hour since Liu Tao began his attempt.

"Clan Head!"

"Cough cough…"

Liu Tao turned around. His pale face, weak breath, and trickling blood caused Liu Dahai and the members of the Liu family's expressions to change drastically.

"Clan Head, you…"

This scene obviously showed that he had failed!

Liu Tao began his cultivation and came out very quickly. Some family members went to report this to Liu Dahai and the rest.

They knew that something was amiss and rushed over. However, it was too late!

Liu Tao had really failed and suffered heavy injuries.

Liu Tao got up trembling and said weakly, "Sigh! I am old and useless. Looks like I can never make a breakthrough past the Fish Dive State in my life!"

"Clan Head!!!"

Liu Dongdong ran over in concern. He held Liu Tao and was tearing up.

He was blaming that damned rooster.

Liu Meimei got into trouble that night and the head of his clan attempted a breakthrough. However, the rooster crowed and he could neither save Liu Meimei nor take care of Liu Tao. Instead, he had been cultivating upon hearing the crow the entire night.

He remembered that he had killed and ate all of the roosters in the Liu family. Where did this rooster come from?!

"Dongdong, you are here…"

Liu Tao smiled and spoke when he saw Liu Dongdong, but he was broken off by the youngster.

"Clan Head, please don't speak and drink some chicken soup!"

Liu Dongdong made a gesture and a family member walked over with a bowl of hot chicken soup.

Instantly, the smell of chicken soup wafted through the ancestral temple. Liu Xiaoxiao and the other children's eyes lit up and looked at the bowl of chicken soup.

"Clan Head, you are injured. Drink some chicken soup to replenish your body!" Liu Dongdong said in concern.

Liu Tao was touched and took a sip of the soup.

There was a huge chicken head floating in the soup. It had a huge comb and was very beautiful. It also looked very familiar.

Liu Tao froze for a moment and asked, "Where did this chicken come from?"

"I caught it. It was fat. Clan Head, just enjoy it!" Liu Dongdong replied with a smile. He felt extremely good as he looked at the chicken in the bowl.

'Damned rooster, you made me cultivate upon hearing the crow for one entire night.

'You deserve to be made into chicken soup!'

Liu Tao's heart ached as he ate the chicken head.

'My poor rooster with a big red comb.

'You died for a good cause.

'You died honorably!'

Liu Tao was sad, but he looked heartened as he was very satisfied with Liu Dongdong's respect towards him.

"Come, bring the chicken drumsticks and give them to our ancestor!" Liu Dongdong shouted loudly.

Soon, the family members brought over two chicken drumsticks.

"Please enjoy, Ancestor!"

Liu Dongdong paid his respects to Liu Fan and placed the drumsticks on Liu Fan's spirit tablet.

"Respect points +500."

Liu Fan was very heartened when he saw the increase in respect points.

However, he was shocked when he saw the two chicken drumsticks.

He did not expect that Liu Dongdong would break the curse.

That was too inhumane!

All of the roosters in the Liu family had been killed and eaten by him!

That night, Liu Tao's hidden rooster was also found by him and immediately dealt with.

In the ancestral temple, the clan members left after the First Elder had instructed them to do so. Only a few of them were left in the ancestral temple.

"Dongdong, you can go back first!"

Liu Tao told Liu Dongdong to leave too.

He closed the door of the ancestral temple and only a few Elders were left.

Liu Dahai took Liu Tao's pulse and felt that Liu Tao's breath was indeed very weak. He had definitely suffered some serious injuries.

"Clan Head, you are too rash!"

Liu Dahai sighed and said, "It is not easy for one to make a breakthrough from the Fish Dive State to the Dragon State! Or else, we won't have only three martial arts masters among the clans in Black Street!"

The other Elders nodded in agreement.

"Our family cultivates physical cultivation techniques!"

"Physical training is very difficult. This is even more so for the Dragon State, a critical stage!"

After saying that, Liu Dahai shook his head and sighed.

Liu Erhai cut another piece of nail cover while Liu Sanhai dug his earwax. Liu Wuhai touched his forehead while Liu Liuhai took out a tobacco pipe and began to smoke.
