Chapter 348: Encounter

Free-range chicken! Workout chicken!

Completely unaware, this pheasant had acquired the "Strongest Face-Slapping System." It could hear a voice in its mind, and as a low-level beast, its mind was swayed, constantly completing daily tasks:Run 1 kilometer: 0/800 (Reward: 100 points)Pull-ups: 0/700 (Reward: 100 points)

It was undergoing a transformation!

Under a scientific fitness regimen, it received daily nutritional supplements, with precise planning for the exercise of each muscle group and the most efficient methods devised. It grew stronger every day!

After the daily tasks, there was the system's shop.

Although the current system shop was very basic, it only offered recipes for pills for exchange—these were nutritional meals that she had analyzed—as well as some Earth-based martial arts, such as Tai Chi, Baji Bang, and Eagle Claw Kung Fu.

"One!""Two!"The system's counting voice echoed in its mind.

In the jungle, a chicken, its entire body rippling with muscles like twisted steel rebar, with its two bare wings tucked, repeatedly performed squats, shedding the sweat and feathers of its passionate youth!

"This is true youth! What a bodybuilding chicken! It shed its ugly, bright red feathers, revealing solid, streamlined muscles!" As a professional fitness coach, Pan Xuesian was extremely satisfied with its growth.

She even lost interest in exploring the city, dedicating herself entirely to raising the chicken.

Ding!Daily task updated: Kill a Tier 2 Red Mountain Tiger (Reward: 800 points). An image of a tiger appeared in its mind.

The low-intelligence pheasant still obediently followed the seductive system voice in its mind and was about to go hunt and fight the Tier 2 Red Mountain Tiger.

"Although it's terrifying for an ordinary, unranked pheasant to reach Tier 2, it's still not enough against a true ancient beast, a Tier 2 fierce tiger..." Pan Yuxian pondered. "Its intelligence is too low; it's done so many daily tasks but doesn't even know how to redeem skills! I'll just secretly pull some strings and redeem one for it!"

Although the system's rules were set that way, she herself was the system; the "host-prompted system software" was designed by her, so secretly bending the rules was perfectly normal.

"It won't redeem it, so I'll help it redeem Wing Chun! Three thousand points!"System Shop: Wing Chun successfully redeemed.

"Due to the host's physical differences, the martial art is being modified...""Deriving force application methods, muscle group movements, bone movements..."Under an octa-core processor, the process was quickly completed.

That afternoon, the pheasant began its Wing Chun training, sweating profusely. A semi-transparent blue phantom of a pheasant appeared in its mind, striking poses for it to follow and practice.

"Movement correction: Left wing down three centimeters, apply force using the triceps muscle group.""Movement correction: Right claw raised..."

Through step-by-step repetition, the pheasant's movements gradually became fluid and perfect. It moved with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger.

Host: Pheasant (Tier 2)Strength: 9.4Speed: 10.3Constitution: 8.1Intelligence: 1

Soon, after just a few days, the pheasant made its move. Like a tiger roaring through the forest, it unleashed a set of Wing Chun inch punches, transforming into the most ruthless and brutal fighting chicken that pulverized the opposing tiger's head.

Three years gradually passed. The entire land became rife with conflict. Horrific anomalies were born across the land. Xiao Wei was just one of them, even considered a harmless and gentle anomaly, falling into the neutral category...

In the entire mountain forest, the pheasant also reached Tier 5! Tier 5!

Under devilish training, the pheasant reached Tier 5. Yet, its intelligence remained low. Logically, lifeforms usually gain intelligence upon reaching Tier 4, but this pheasant was completely different.

"Perhaps its inherent potential was low, or perhaps... its brain was completely filled with muscle, allowing only simple communication." As a fitness coach, Pan Yuxian meticulously recorded and calculated this.

This was definitely a system different from that of the Primordial World. In this world, whether one cultivated the body or the Dao, they needed the genes of the Primordial Human bloodline to open up an Inner World, or "Rubik's Cube Gene." But this chicken? It didn't cultivate an Inner World, had no Dantian, and relied solely on its ancestral witch bloodline and the strength of its pure physical body to reach such a terrifying height.

"Still, it's too weak. It hasn't gained sentience or become a true spirit yet... It might not be a real demon." She pondered for a moment. "After all, to become a spirit, one needs to absorb the essence of the sun and moon within a concentrated small world. Just forcing it to exercise, doing push-ups and building muscles every day, probably won't be enough... I'll still have to find an Inner World to nurture it and help it gain sentience... As for whose Inner World to find? It should be a demon race's, as demon races typically reproduce their kind by incubating offspring within their own Inner Worlds."

Purple Distant Cave.

Inside the cavern, the floor was covered with exquisite crystal tiles. Beautiful maidens were laughing and chatting merrily, their figures subtly visible, as they drank and conversed. The scene was lively and vibrant. They were all shapeshifted demonesses. This was a demon den deep in the mountains, and the girls were gathered around one young woman.
