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

In fact, when Zhang Chaoqiang possessed this ability, he had to seriously consider whether this behavior would cause trouble or obstacles for others.

Therefore, when acquiring this ability...

Zhang Chaoqiang must imagine the specific scenarios in which he uses this ability; otherwise, he might inadvertently cause trouble for others.

He had actually done his homework on the matter of the Screaming Chicken Crystal Core a long time ago.

They even asked Old Chen to find out if anyone in the Central Country could possess the same type of Screaming Chicken Crystal Core.

The answer is, no.

In fact, even Old Chen, using his own power, was unable to find out the number of such monster cores in the country.

You could even say there was nothing, since Old Chen and the forces behind him have connections that reach far and wide, and even they couldn't find out anything.

Furthermore, this thing is basically not very useful in textbooks...

The so-called ability to revert to ancestral traits and undergo transformation upon advancing to the sixth rank is something only their screaming chicken leaders can perceive.

This is information given to them by their bloodline, which humans are unaware of. Most importantly, the scattered groups of screaming chickens throughout the entire demon beast territory have, for a long time, basically none of them have been able to reach the sixth rank.

Their strength was so weak that they posed no threat to other monsters at all.

Therefore, the factors that cause change under such circumstances can only hide themselves, like a chicken, and survive in the cracks.

It can be said that among all the screaming chickens, big and small, Chicken One is the most promising and closest to the sixth-order ancestral state.

This is why human research on these monsters remains superficial; after all, the monsters they've encountered so far have been virtually powerless...

No wonder the monster encyclopedia has such a negative view of this thing…

There was really no other way, since there was no way to find out the other party's actual situation.

Considering the current situation, Zhang Chaoqiang decisively resorted to theft, as this thing has proven useless under human research.

Furthermore, according to statistics, the probability of such a monster existing in a human environment is extremely low.

Therefore, under the current circumstances, after using his new mechanism ability, a clear and easily perceptible sensation is rapidly generating feedback...

The body, along with its internal and external environment, allows us to materialize and experience the progress bar's ascent through these other senses.

"Success! It seems that in this vast world, there must be something beyond a mere fourth-tier screaming chicken crystal core!"

Zhang Chaoqiang felt a somewhat expected "surprise" as he continued to carefully examine the status of the progress bar.

After using Steal, the progress bar visibly increased from 83% to 86%, and it continues to rise.

And the speed is extremely fast. If this continues, he will progress much faster than before.

Furthermore, the gentle medicinal liquid in his body was reacting rapidly with his body, and with Zhang Chaoqiang's strong absorption ability, there was no increase in the burden on his body.

The speed at which it absorbs power remains at a level that is normally impossible.

"It shouldn't take more than two hours for me to replenish the Screaming Chicken's crystal core to 100%!"

Zhang Chaoqiang thought to himself.

In the next twenty minutes, when his progress bar jumped to 92%, it began to slow down its rate of increase, but it did not stop.

This is similar to today's cutting-edge new energy fighter jets and armored vehicles; their power is exhausted and they need to be recharged...

The artificial synthetic crystal core rapidly charges the armor's new energy form. Although the charging speed is very fast at the beginning, it slows down when it reaches around 10% in the end.

The speed will slow down, which indicates that the final coordination and filling is underway, and also ensures that the energy being filled is not all virtual energy.

However, just as Zhang Chaoqiang was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, bored out of his mind, he decided to watch TV with his father, Zhang Huolong.

The show "Boonie Bears" on TV still seemed to be from a different era than him. Although he couldn't fully understand Zhang Huolong, he had no other entertainment at the moment.

Just like his parents, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei, didn't understand what Zhang Chaoqiang was doing at that moment.

After glancing at it twice, Zhang Chaoqiang's thoughts drifted to the distant horizon. At this moment, he was wondering where that fifty percent of the stolen spiritual power came from, and whose crystal core it came from.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Earth, in the territory of the monsters.

It is located near the chiefdom of the northern and southern continents, but also on the Monster Mountain Range, which is a million kilometers away.

The bird-like monsters were terrified by a near-mad cry and initially fled.

Although they only realized after their initial shock that this extremely frenzied sound did not come from any other powerful demonic beast…

Instead, it was the screaming of a screaming chicken, the most ordinary creature at the very bottom of the monster food chain.

This infuriated them, but they had originally intended to lower their wings and charge at the chicken...

But at the last moment, he held back…

"It possesses an inexplicable aura, and this aura is constantly rising..."

Sixth rank? It seems to be about to break through to the sixth rank. Although the Screaming Chicken is a useless and trashy monster, how come its aura has suddenly become so much stronger?

There's no shortage of food, so there's no need for me to act rashly..."

In a world of survival of the fittest, even when these birds and beasts are already full, they will still cruelly kill weaker monsters, tearing them apart for their own amusement.

However, given its current state, Chicken One clearly has no choice but to cherish its life.

Anyway, it seems that Chicken One is not easy to deal with...

An endless stream of aura and spiritual power burst forth from Ji Yi's body.

In that instant, it seemed as if the small peaks in the thousands of mountains where the chicken had originally been hiding were about to be enveloped by a sharp cry.

This sound was sharp, piercing, and seemed to possess a very substantial impact, like a needle piercing directly into the heart of the other demonic beasts.

Phew…

Some demonic beasts below the third rank were immediately startled by the sharp bird cry, and some even developed numerous cracks on their bodies...

And, I don't know why...

From their veins, from the blood flowing through their bodies, they sensed a slight tremor, a tremor that came from instinct…

To put it simply and bluntly, in terms of bloodline level, the Screaming Chicken was originally just a monster in name only; its bloodline level wasn't even high enough to put pressure on other ordinary monsters.

But now it has appeared, and this situation still has power, which is being shown in Chicken One for the first time!

Radiating a red glow, the chicken exuded spiritual power and aura, as if it were riding a roller coaster...

It is climbing rapidly.

"I felt it, the power of atavism..."

I felt an immense power…

Two-fifths of the fourth-order crystal core in the wings has been consumed, and Chicken One has now raised its current peak fifth-order state to another level.

Just one step away from stepping into the sixth level.

However, under these circumstances, the conversion and absorption of spiritual energy have ceased.

Because of the effects of these spiritual forces…

The role of Chicken One is no longer simply to enhance its spiritual energy storage capacity and strength.

Instead, it calls upon the true power hidden within its body through a primal process. The scream that Chicken One just experienced in the mountains actually came from a trace of bloodline power from the ancient divine beast Vermilion Bird, which had been sealed away for many years.

To be precise, that sound was the voice of the Vermilion Bird divine beast.

Over countless years, through continuous hybridization and mating, the Vermilion Bird gave birth to the bizarre species known as the Screaming Chicken.

This species is inherently weak, and only by relying on a trace of so-called rare bloodline can it communicate with the power of its ancestors at the sixth level. For these demonic beasts, this is actually a kind of atavism.

This situation is not uncommon.

However, human research on these matters is still in a rather one-sided state, because the current situation on the Earth's core is that humans and monsters each occupy a territory.

Human research on monsters is limited to the monster-exclusive secret realms that house them. Rather than describing them as a natural environment, it would be more appropriate to call them a zoo.

Because they have lost the opportunity to communicate with the outside world and lost more possibilities, under this limitation, it is still quite difficult and restrictive to explore the true secrets of certain monsters.

Chicken One has gone completely mad, and his atavistic state is becoming increasingly apparent. His feathers, which were originally a dirty yellow, are now visibly turning a bright red.

"Fuck your wives and mothers, hehehe, watch me kill you all!"

The frantic noises couldn't mask the chicken's usual lewdness as a screaming chicken...

Countless strange beasts were frantically fleeing around them, but how could Chicken One, filled with resentment, possibly let go of any of the monsters except himself?

Being at the very bottom of the food chain, all monsters are his enemies, so he is determined to slaughter all monsters except himself.

However, of course, following the body's most primal desires and instincts, female demon beasts should absolutely not be exterminated.

The crystal core within the wings continues to provide power to the communication of its ancestral bloodline.

As the molting process of his feathers gradually progresses, the chicken's overall physical condition has now completed the first stage of atavism, which means that his feathers have turned completely red.

He believed that by absorbing the crystal nucleus…

Once his ancestral state enters the second stage, that will be the time for him to officially break through to the sixth rank.

The most obvious change in the second layer is that its body is gradually growing larger and becoming more handsome, at least from the perspective of a demon beast.

Chicken One suddenly gained the ability to burn. A towering sea of ​​fire erupted from the tips of his feathers like a flamethrower, constantly bursting forth with surging, rolling heat waves that scorched the forest grounds where he was.

Many of the second and third-tier monsters perished as the flames engulfed them, unable to escape in time.

[Run! How did this chick suddenly become so strong?]

Get out of here immediately.

Many of the fleeing monsters shook their heads and used their abilities to escape in all directions.

At this moment, all Chicken One needs to do is endless slaughter.

Because the absorption of crystal nuclei no longer needs to be controlled manually.

He spread his wings at the frantic beasts that were trying to escape, his fierce expression a complete reversal of his usual demeanor; the prey who was always the prey had now become the hunter.

"The metamorphosis is almost complete. It's about to enter the final stage of atavism..." the chicken muttered...

But suddenly!

As it prepared to pursue other demonic beasts, Chicken One, which was in mid-air, suddenly plummeted to the ground...

"What's going on? Why has the atavism stopped!"

As soon as the chicken realized that it had transformed into a red-feathered bird, its wings gradually faded, lost their color, and reverted to their original dirty yellow. Even its aura plummeted...
