Chapter 31:- Kidnapped
__________________
Lucian stripped his clothes off and he found himself standing above a boulder sitting cross-legged above it.
"Endure for twenty minutes, okay?"Mynus cleared at him from a distance as a smile appeared on Lucian's face.
Feeling the sensation of the waterfall striking his back and the coldness of the water. Lucian gauged that he could easily withstand twenty minutes under it.
Mynus couldn't help but shook his head as a vicious grin curled up his face.
"Peals of lightning!"
Boom!
A bolt of dark lightning descended from the skies and struck the waterfall. Followed by a miserable shriek, howling reverberating across the deserted area. The surrounding beast flee hurriedly seeing the surging black lightning. Looking from a distance one could see a jetblack patch of clouds hovering over.
From the clouds came limitless supply of lightning that electrifying the poor bastard who started squming like a worm and howling like a pig. His skin tore off and watch Mynus returning into the pendant.
The dark clouds dissipated leaving Lucian like an animal awaiting his death on the boulder. Inside the pendant, Mynus voiced low pitch,"I thought you said you could last twenty minutes? You collapsed in the first minute, why?"
"You didn't say that you'll electrocute me and make me look like a charred piece of steak..."Lucian groaned painfully.
"You never asked."
"You old fox."
"Stop. I tempered your body. We will start from here next time. My soul energy is almost depleted. I won't be able to talk with you for the next few days. When I'm back you will teach me one of those your sucker skills."Mynus slightly chuckled.
"No don't....."

___Night town, Luking city.
Approaching the entrance of to the town. Lucian saw numerous entourage of caravans filled with various merchandising, almost everyone around were hawking their items around with some even starting their sales talk without any warning.
Lucian wryly smiled,in a town of bustling economy and prosperity, Lucian know that everything was not beautiful according to the books he had read. Lucian entered the town as a strong smell of spices and vegetables food assaulted his nostrils. The small town bustled with life, with everyone wearing joyful smiles as they dined around the displayed stalls of merchant.
Apart from merchants,all sorts of mercenaries, rogue cultivators stayed inside this large sized town,night town. And all of them only had a single goal in their mind. And that was to earn money using the guild basis.

Awakened by the sound of bustling noises from the crowd. Lucian rubbed his head before taking a shower and dressed up. After eating his meal Lucian set off and walked around the city.
He soon arrived before a restaurant where he entered the sat on the third floor, staring at the direction of two teenagers, laughing and teasing as they dined. He eat a little and left. Turning towards the dark alleyway and moved towards the direction of the slum community.
"Um?" A man with a lotus symbol embroidered on his outfit sound watching him set off.
Luking city maintained a strict hierarchy when it comes to power, from the Noble, middle class and slum. The person's qualification in society would be decided at birth according to the status that the person's parents came. Fortunately, one could ride up through the rucks by meritorious service in the army or gaining a vast amount of wealth. Both the option were difficult to achieve. Because of this the slum community increased in population and become the land of crime and petty thievings, the people above shunned them and garnered a hatred for them deep within their heart.
Wearing a commoner cloth, Lucian arrived at the slum community border which was separated from the middle class.
As someone who lived on pig food back in Brighten stone and was treated like a plague because of his parents sin. He remain calmed as he walk deeper into the slum.
Staring at Lucian's average clothes the slum people became uninterested in him as he didn't seem to have much wealth on his body and retracted their gaze.
Lucian journey for five minutes before he stopped arriving in front of a hole in the wall,a street food stall when the fresh scent of fried meat and vegetables emanated. Lucian entered a lady in her mid-twenties greeted him with a smile.
"Welcome!"
"May I get some fried dough stick and some savory soy milk?" Lucian sizzle in a hoarse tone, the lady nodded her head with a smile and she brought two bowls before handing it over to Lucian. Finishing the meal, Lucian paid for four copper coins, but he didn't leave. His eyes darted towards the table at the edge with a sleeping cute child.
He advanced towards the girl," I found you." The lady hurriedly appeared midway before Lucian preventing him from nearing the sleeping child who seems to have awaken from the little disturbance."stay away from my daughter. you wretched human."
"Wretched? Lady, you need not mind it I'm just curious why the child seems different from others, unique I might say,eh?"
The young lady expression turn sour turns out Lucian was right about the uniqueness, ushering her daughter inside the room just behind the stall,"I don't know what you want and stay away from daughter but I will let you wish you were dead if you dare touch her."
Lucian moved out and stopped using his eye ability. 'so the fluctuation differs from the ones have seen. But you can't hide it from my eye ability.'
Moving back...
Around this moment, he experience a sharp pain in his head.
This sharp pain was accompanied with lots of foreign memories.
Lucian was shocked as he was forced to these memories. No... not just see but experience these memories.
The white crystal in his consciousness start spuning swallowing a incsence of smoke that accompanied the memories.
In 30 seconds, Lucian already experienced thirty years worth memories.
'...'
According to the foreign memories. 'this person tried transmigrating.'
'why is my soul always a target.'
It was only natural for him to be agitated. The memories he just received was of a man named Wang tian a Chinese man from a world called Earth. Different emotions surged within Lucian mixed with laughter,sorrow, weariness, fear,despair and so on. Wang tian was an orphan who lived with different sort of method to survive in the cruel world. His family members pounced on his parents wealth and sent him into street, his girlfriend abandoned him and all his friend turned on him. He joined a gangster group 'Blackstar'. Where he was poisoned showing the cruelty of humanity, but in death he met a lady who promised him a second life. What a shame, Lucian body was the only compatible vessel for his soul but failed as the first attempt of Lucian energy contemplation practice was soul energy. The approach of the the external soul triggered the white crystal absorbing the soul in puff of smoke.
You are not dead yet. It surprised me you practice a technique beyond divine level, heavenly technique of the energy devour belonging to the celestial light sect.." A black clothed man with a black hat. His long silver hair was a unique and captivating aspect that could not be ignored. But those around didn't seem to notice this man, ghost! People passed through him like he was air. His golden eyes sparkled like the sun and reflected his sharpened mind. Releasing an overbearing aura.
a small piercing pain went through his neck feeling weak and dropping to the ground. Endless darkness, whispering promises of power and redemption became reality. He passed out.

Waking up...
At this moment, Lucian didn't have the ability,he couldn't help himself. In this cold and dark space. Lucian didn't know how much time he had passed. He only know that he was kidnapped.
Under bonding, Lucian couldn't even move at all. He was forcefully dragged out of a building into a 'ship'. He recalled from the memories he received.
A lotus symbol was embroidered on the arm of the warrior dragging Lucian same as the man following him at first unnoticed. Seeing a sailing ship still surprised him. So it exist in this world too. He looked at his body, which was bleeding hell.
At this moment,he couldn't say anything.
"Not dead yet,good! Very good!" A savage female voice echoed not to far from him.
In the next moment, the woman in black appeared in his vision. The woman waved her hand in the air.
----------------------
----------------------
"Idiot, wakeup." The voice jolted Lucian up after the woman left.
"I think you might die now, those people who kidnapped you are not to be joked with..... what are you doing?"
Lucian twisted his bleeding body causing more damage. Finally he broke free from the bondage. "How did you do that even those stronger than you can't break that rope,eh?"
"It a stealth skill I picked up from somewhere....."
