Capítulo 11: Start-Cultivating-at-the-First-Crow-of-the-Cock Curse
Editor: Atlas Studios
Liu Dongdong cried and said loudly, "I've really come to a realization this time 'round!
"Our family used to be showered with so much honor a thousand years ago. We were the top family in the City of Scorpio. However, now, we are just trying to make a living in Black Street and have barely enough food. For our family, our head of clan and Elders worried so much that their hair turned white. Yet I only knew how to enjoy myself and did not share the burden.
"My parents passed away early, and the Clan Head raised me up. I grew up without suffering from hunger, and the Clan Head never mistreated me. However, I did not make any progress in life. How can I face the Clan Head like that?!
"Therefore, in front of the spirit tablet of our Ancestor, I, Liu Dongdong, vow to train seriously from today on. I will get rid of all my bad habits, start cultivating upon hearing the crow, and fight for the prosperity of the Liu family!"
After he said that, he stopped crying. He was extremely serious and sincere.
At this moment, a rooster crowed in a chicken cage nearby.
"Ow ow—"
When he heard the call of the rooster, Liu Dongdong shuddered and stood up from the ground as though he was called.
"Cultivate upon hearing the crow, fight for the prosperity of our family!" he roared with tears in his eyes and began waving his fist. He stretched his legs and began to train.
"The first set of Body Tempering Pattern!"
"The second set of Body Tempering Pattern!"
"The third set of Body Tempering Pattern!"
…
Liu Fan was distracted in the coffin.
This set of fist patterns was created by him. It was named the 18 Sets of Body Tempering Patterns. As long as one cultivated seriously, one could build a firm foundation of martial arts.
At this moment, Liu Dongdong was cultivating the 18 Sets of Body Tempering Pattern. He looked extremely serious. He narrowed his eyes and his breath lengthened. He had evidently entered the state of training.
"Hmm?!"
Liu Tao was extremely shocked. He did not expect Liu Dongdong to start training immediately. That characteristic of Liu Dongdong surprised him.
The eyes of the First Elder and the other Elders also lit up.
"Get moving, get moving, don't disturb him."
The First Elder waved his hands and said to the surrounding clan members, "If Liu Dongdong can suddenly gain this realization, it is a blessing for our family. I hope that everyone can learn from Liu Dongdong and fight for the prosperity of our family. In the future…"
Just as he said that, a strong wave of aura was felt from Liu Dongdong.
"Kakaka!"
Then, his bones began to crackle like the sound of frying beans.
"Oh my goodness! He has broken through to the refinement of bones!" one of the clan members exclaimed.
Everyone turned around in shock.
Liu Tao, Liu Dahai, and the others looked at Liu Dongdong in astonishment and disbelief.
Among the crowd, a tall lady had arrived.
She was Liu Meimei.
She was the daughter of Liu Tao. She was also the person with the highest state of cultivation among the younger generation of the Liu family.
Although she was female, her gift embarrassed many males from the Liu family.
She was also very confident. She was at the third Body Tempering state. She took three years to refine her skin, five years to refine her bones, and was currently refining her muscles.
Her speed was considered extremely fast, especially since their family lacked resources.
Yet today, at the front of the ancestral temple, the incident that happened to Liu Dongdong shocked her so much that her mouth hung open.
"He really made a realization?!"
She was stunned and could not believe it.
After a long time, Liu Dongdong stopped what he was doing and took a deep breath. The aura within him had grown a lot and he was a completely different person from before.
When he saw the other family members looking at him, he was shocked initially but said with a serious face, "I said that I will work hard for the prosperity of the Liu family. From today on, I will cultivate upon hearing the crow!"
When the clan members heard that, they were shocked and did not know how to react.
Liu Tao and the First Elder looked at each other and smiled.
"Good, good, this is very good. Dongdong's determination is praise-worthy. We should…"
As Liu Tao was speaking, he took out a piece of handkerchief and wiped Liu Dongdong's sweat.
At this moment, the rooster from the cage nearby began to crow again.
"Ow ow—"
Liu Dongdong shuddered and walked towards a spacious ground as though he was being called. Then, he roared loudly, "Cultivate upon hearing the crow, fight for the prosperity of our family!"
After saying that, he began to cultivate while chanting again.
After he finished the 18 Sets of Body Tempering, Liu Dongdong's face was pale and he was extremely weak.
The people from the Liu family were extremely impressed. Liu Tao and the rest also nodded their heads in admiration.
"Alright, Dongdong, take a break, don't overtire yourself. We should take training step by step, we…"
Liu Dahai spoke as he smiled. However, before he could finish his sentence, Liu Dongdong shuddered again and began to cultivate.
That was because the rooster from the cage crowed again!
"Cultivate upon hearing the crow, fight for the prosperity of our family!" Liu Dongdong roared. His voice was slightly hoarse, but he continued to cultivate.
His body began to shake and his legs were now jelly. He was drenched in sweat.
"Pang!"
He was too tired and fell on the ground. He banged his head on the sill of the door and bled.
However, Liu Dongdong did not complain or shout. He got up and continued cultivating.
…
All of the Liu family members were touched. Liu Dongdong was too hardworking, he was training so hard.
Liu Tao, the First Elder, and the other Elders were astonished. However, they were confused too.
"What triggered Liu Dongdong?"
"Why did he change so drastically so suddenly?!"
They wondered and began to ponder over it.
Among the crowd, Liu Meimei took a look at Liu Dongdong, who was covered in sweat, and looked back at the chicken cage. She seemed to be deep in thought.
There were three hens in the cage and one rooster.
After a while, Liu Dongdong finished his cultivation and fell flat on the ground in exhaustion. His muscles were trembling and his lips were cracked because of dryness.
Liu Tao was concerned. He immediately went over and gave him some water.
At a distance away, Liu Meimei smiled sneakily. "Cultivate upon hearing the crow?!"
"Let me try!"
She flicked a stone and hit the hen in the chicken cage. The hen flew in shock while the rooster made a loud crow.
"Ow ow ow—"
"Thump!"
At that instant when the rooster crowed, Liu Dongdong toppled the bowl of water in his hand and struggled to get up. With his hoarse voice, he shouted, "Cultivate upon hearing the crow, fight for the prosperity of our family!"
After saying that, he began to cultivate again.
"Oh my goodness, is Liu Dongdong crazy?"
"Clan Head, hurry up and stop him. He will die if he continues to cultivate!"
The clan members were worried.
Liu Tao nodded. He stepped forward and knocked Liu Dongdong out. Then, he instructed some people to bring him to rest in a room.
Nearby, Liu Meimei touched the rooster and said to herself, "Is the crow of the rooster really something that controls Liu Dongdong?!"
She was shocked and could not believe it.
Then, Liu Meimei carefully took the rooster and went to Liu Dongdong's house. She tied the rooster on the stone knob outside of Liu Dongdong's room…
