Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

Old Chen had just brought Manager Liu over to meet them. As soon as they met, Manager Liu gave Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong a meaningful look.

Upon seeing the other party, Manager Liu immediately stepped forward and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang, for your care and help to the scholar!"

A scholar?

Are the two of them that intimate?

These words rang out like a bell, making their heads buzz.

Although they believed that Lao Chen's success was the decisive factor, humility was essential at this moment, and they quickly stopped Manager Liu from thanking them.

"No need to thank me, it's nothing. Old Chen has helped us a lot before."

They were pushing and shoving each other, and clearly, they didn't hear the underlying resentment in Manager Liu's words.

And there were those eerie eyes staring at him like a resentful woman.

It's all because Old Chen revealed everything last night.

The things he had done before disgusted Manager Liu.

It was basically Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong, the couple, who were behind it all.

Therefore, Manager Liu's misunderstanding of Lao Chen was completely cleared up. However, he still harbored resentment towards Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei.

Fortunately, Lao Chen explained that the two people really meant well and didn't mean to trick him.

This finally opened Manager Liu's eyes to the world, and he realized that there were such bizarre people in the world.

But in the blink of an eye, he thanked Zhang Chaoqiang, who was standing behind the couple.

This expression of gratitude is genuine and comes from the bottom of Manager Liu's heart.

Tan Yue was somewhat puzzled.

However, while strolling through the Monster Garden, Tan Yue and Zhang Chaoqiang walked at the front, whispering to each other. Zhang Chaoqiang embellished some parts of the story and told the truth about others.

This allowed Tan Yue to learn more or less about the events that had transpired.

"Wow, Zhang Chaoqiang, you're amazing! I've never seen Grandpa Chen say more than three sentences to any grandma before! No wonder he's been chatting with me much less these past few days."

Zhang Chaoqiang turned his head away, while Tan Yue seemed very pleased that her grandfather Chen had found a potential female partner.

A group of six people strolled through the park.

For Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, the Monster Garden in Zhongzhou City was a facility that Tianan City did not have. It was also an extremely new experience.

For Lao Chen and Manager Liu, it was also an opportunity for a date.

For Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue, well… it's just a game…

Unlike zoos, the cages used in the Monster Garden are all protected by a dense spiritual energy shield.

In addition to the first layer of guardrail made of advanced materials, there are two relatively safe and secure protective measures.

Zhongzhou City did this much better than Tianan City.

Sometimes, in rapidly developing regions with sufficiently advanced economies, ordinary people can also be drawn into these considerations.

After all, if we're talking about who the main consumers and upper class are in this world, then without a doubt, it's the martial artists.

Tickets to the Monster Park cost several thousand yuan each. How could ordinary people possibly afford such a level of consumption?

This is definitely only a very small minority.

Without a spiritual energy shield, the demonic beasts would exert a powerful pressure on the outside of the cage. Under such circumstances, ordinary people without much spiritual energy would likely be injured.

Zhongzhou City has good economic conditions and can afford this, while Tianan City has abandoned its limited market for ordinary people.

This is why the Monster Park in Tianan City kindly reminds ordinary people not to enter, because their security facilities are not as comprehensive as those in Zhongzhou City.

Big cities do have their advantages in terms of inclusivity.

With the spiritual energy shield in place, Zhang Chaoqiang felt safe letting Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong get close to watch, and there was no possibility of any accidents happening.

Most of the monsters in the garden are only first or second tier monsters. They are fierce and menacing, but they are trapped in cages for people to watch. They do not have the slightest docile attitude of being tamed like ordinary animals.

No matter who walks by, their eyes always conceal ferocity, cunning, and bloodlust.

This is how it is when facing most martial artists. Occasionally, when there are some highly skilled martial artists, the demon beasts will lower their heads and retract their sharp fangs.

It seemed to be indicating that he dared not provoke it.

But when it came to Old Chen, they crawled down, not daring to move an inch.

Those around who witnessed this scene all looked at Old Chen with the utmost respect.

The collective focus of attention caused Manager Liu to involuntarily move slightly closer to Old Chen, bringing the two within a fist's width of each other.

Interestingly, Old Chen and Manager Liu walked in front, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei walked in the middle, and Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue walked at the very back.

The surrounding monsters gradually stopped trembling with fear after Old Chen moved away.

When they looked up again, Old Chen outside the cage had already walked away, and Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong were standing in front of them.

"Roar…"

The various demonic beasts in the surrounding cages clearly exchanged glances, their eyes conveying a mixture of mockery and ruthlessness:

Before them were two ordinary people, powerless to even kill a chicken, who were now the perfect opportunity to get back at the humiliating defeat they had suffered at the hands of that powerful martial artist.

"A burrowing scale, what an ugly ground squirrel..."

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei basically kept complaining the whole way, but in reality, they were pangolins.

"A spotted red leopard. It's neither red nor black, and what do you think those so-called spotted markings are, wife?"

"Mold spots," they both said in unison, then laughed.

"So this is what real monsters look like. Apart from their superhuman strength, their appearance is really hard to describe..." Zhang Huolong shook his head and complained.

This is actually quite normal. They don't need external beauty; in their world of monsters, power is a special kind of beauty.

However, the aura displayed by the other party was far beyond what ordinary animals could match, both in terms of presence and ferocity.

They are all several levels higher than normal wild beasts.

Roar!

Just as Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were carefully examining these incredibly ugly monsters, whose only beauty lay in their strength, led by the spotted red-striped leopard…

They seized the opportunity, as if they had planned it all along, baring their fangs and claws, each radiating their own ruthless aura, even through the impenetrable spiritual energy shield...

It would be incredibly easy for them to frighten two ordinary mortals.

That is indeed the case.

The visual information conveyed was enormous. The monsters flew towards Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei from afar. Even through the entire protective barrier, the two could feel the boiling beastly intent, surging and terrifying.

With a gasp, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's legs went weak. Just as they were curling up, about to tremble and fall, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly stepped forward to support them.

Then, with a dry throat, he let out a few low growls at the demonic beasts that had come from all directions and were perched on the cage's protective barrier...

strangeness…

It was purely a conditioned reflex; Zhang Chaoqiang only came to his senses after he had finished chanting to them, but it was just his instinctive reaction…

Is this another way of realizing one's "sense of monster smell"?

It doesn't seem so...

Zhang Chaoqiang vaguely felt that when he was making low noises to them, the progress bar of the screaming chicken in his body seemed to be jumping.

Without a second thought, he quickly helped Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong to their feet. Once steadied, Zhang Huolong pulled Shen Qiangwei towards the location of the monsters that had just frightened them:

"They seemed afraid of something, and they all dispersed..."

When the monsters were intimidating Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, two ordinary people, their eyes were fierce, bloodthirsty, and mocking.

Until Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly appeared, they felt a sense of familiarity from this young man.

His gaze shifted from fierce to puzzled.

"It feels like we're from the same kind?" they wondered.

This stems from Zhang Chaoqiang's [Beast Smell Sense]. As a keen-eyed beast, he sensed from Zhang Chaoqiang that the other party possessed the same sensory abilities as them.

This led the other party to believe that Zhang Chaoqiang was one of their own kind.

However, the next second Zhang Chaoqiang's low murmur, a self-reaction, was clearly a common frequency and reaction of demonic beasts...

The meaning it expresses is simpler: pure anger. The howl seems to also contain a sense of intimidation that transcends bloodlines and power.

Similarly, Zhang Chaoqiang's low murmur was a warning in their eyes, a warning that was enough to frighten them.

This is a warning from those in positions of authority.

Zhang Chaoqiang is now clearly aware that this cross-species lethality is a new ability that the Screaming Chicken is gradually granting him.

This ability seems to enhance one's language skills, and if that's the case, it is indeed a unique martial art that can achieve certain special effects.

It is related to both support and direct damage. In short, the screaming chicken crystal core, which is of no use to the general public and cannot even replenish spiritual power, can actually be useful to him.

This is naturally a good thing.

The monsters' eyes shifted from confusion to apprehension, and finally to fear. Their emotions moved from their expressions and eyes to their actions. For example, the four-legged, spotted red leopard cautiously and tentatively retreated with its hind legs.

Then it withdrew its front legs.

As the protective shield slowly receded, they were like kittens stealing food. They cunningly took off running...it was quite comical.

The tourists around were astonished and covered their mouths in surprise at this peculiar scene.

He was extremely arrogant just a second ago, but the next second he was scared away by this young man?

Some people focused their attention on Zhang Chaoqiang, while others saw Lao Chen and Manager Liu return and whisper to the staff of the Monster Garden for a few seconds.

Then, the cages of the four monsters in the four directions—the Earth-burrowing Scale, the Spotted Red-striped Leopard, the Corpse-eating Bear, and the Curly-toothed Ape—were opened from the inside.

Each staff member is responsible for their daily feeding and supervision, all under the watchful eyes of the public...

The four staff members, who were fourth-level martial artists, each dragged out the demonic beasts that had helped scare Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong from their dens.

"Woooooooo..."

They had lost their usual ferocity and savagery as demonic beasts; their eyes and expressions were filled with loss and sorrow. Even the three demonic beasts with forelimbs—the carnivorous bear, the earth-burrowing scale, and the coiled-toothed ape—were present…

They used their forelimbs, palms together, to wave up and down at the staff.
