Chapter 29:- STĄRT ØF A LEGEND.
_
"I don't know what happened." Lucian shook his head, not wanting to tell about what really happened to him.
"How did you get here?"
"Oh! That? Yesterday a black lightning and a black cloud appeared in the sky all of a sudden with a hole, I don't know it.... I can't explain. It intense force of closure sent me flying into the river only to wake up at the shore of this strange place."
Yesterday!
"Did you say yesterday?"
"That I did. Didn't you notice it was blouder, turning day to night in an instant. Yes."
"Boy will you follow me and become my disciple?"
"No!" Lucian quickly send back rejection without delay. Not again, never. I won't be use as pawn.
"You won't?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I don't want to end up as a pawn in your journey you think you can easily discard."
"What!"
The lady stupified. Used as pawn. Interesting. You experience such a bad life, your former master must have done that.
"You said yesterday, black lightning and black cloud appeared in the sky. Let make a bargain then. Um? What if I told you that was two years ago!"
"Lady, I'm not in for joke. Please where am I I'm lost."
"Joke!
Follow me to town to confirm that. if I'm correct you become my disciple."
"What if I won? What if I'm correct what will I gain? This seems to me like a one-sided gambling."
Intelligent and smart, just wait till you become my disciple.
"Fine, I will give you this pills and a thousand gold coins. Smelling the potency of the pill she brought out Lucian eyes brightened.
"Yes,deal!"
Lucian was very sure it was only yesterday. It's impossible for me to sleep for two straight years.
Along the way. Lucian closed his eyes and inspected the trace of blood in his eyes and the power of his eyes. Inside the eyes was a dimension, the azure blue whirlpool spun from inside out and when Lucian tried to touch it with his consciousness, he felt a holy aura.
Under a lot of testing. The power of his eyes are as follows.
1. Enhanced vision (binocular/super vision) and it could magnify and expand everything in his vision and had a certain amount of 'see through'.
2. Fast reaction speed, observation and analysis...
3. Discovering aura of living beings.
4. Photocopy, memorising everything he saw. Computative memory.(not yet discovered)
5. Passive ability - extreme calmness.(not yet discovered)
6. Mental energy control - beast taming(not yet discovered)
"What are your affinity?"
"Affinity? What's that? Never heard of it."
"Affinity are the major elemental field you can infuse with your energy and control, such affinities include fire, water,air, Earth and the most dangerous one, lightning."
"I don't have one. I only strengthen my fist."
"Raw energy use that absurd!"
"How? I could crush a rock with my fist."
"Ignorant. Stupid. Can you stop ranting 'cause every cultivators can do that. See."she slapped a rock which literally turned to dust.
Lucian only look in disbelief.
"Well," Lucian scratched his head looking for details.
"It seems you hit your head when you fell. I have a item that can help you discover your affinity."
"Muscle head."she teased, she looked away after seeing she never behaved like this near anyone.
"Why?"
"Why?what!?"
"Why are you belittling me?"
"I'm not. I just can't believe there's someone without any affinity with your domain level, peak master domain."she snorted.
Peak master domain level. I'm this strong.
This!
Old man that tried to steal my body but failed thanks may your soul rest in peace.
"Ma'am even if you lose the bet will you take me as your disciple. Well on one condition."
"What condition?"
"I can leave anytime I want to."
"That's,"
"Wha...!"
"Anyway you can't win."
Why does she keep saying I can't win. I think I'm already tricked. I was too overconfident.
"Why did you say that?"
"We're already in the city already. Welcome to Luking City, the city of commerce. Ocean view."
"Luking City?"I'm far from home.
"What is that?"
"Nothing I was just surprised I found myself in Luking City."
"I don't remember, I think I hit my head when I fell."
She didn't buy it.
"Ma'am, what your name we've met hours ago and I still don't know your name."
"Neither do I?"
Why is she acting tough.
"This one is Lucian. Can I know yours?"
"Harrumph! Seems you don't know any sweetened words. Call me mistress. My name is not something I can proudly proclaim."
We stopped in front of a blacksmith shop.
"Miss angel, you need me?"
The blacksmith apprentice recognized her since the latter had followed old man Frank around for years and had the name of "mistress." The strongest mercenary guild member.
"I need a couple of arrows and bow and a pair of dagger for him."she pointed at Lucian.
"Arrows? Dagger? Yes, I'm coming mistress."
The apprentice pause,he checked Lucian's cultivation base, peak master domain level at this age, the apprentice was shocked where did mistress found this treasure but quickly move inside to avoid query and brought out the asked items.
Collecting the weapons and waved her hand and it disappeared into thin air. What! Lucian was....
Seeing the shocked fellow expression she explained to him,"this is a inter spatial storage ring by infusion of my energy it is connected to me and cannot be forcefully peered into by anybody except the owner. Come inside and let see to our bet. She moved towards a alley which revealed a large story building. 'LUKING MERCENARY GUILD.'

God's eye(can't be measured) ]
Thanks to this system I can now know my stats. The mercenary guild is something else with the ability to create such a magnificent technology to scan the cultivation details of its host. This is a chest,hehe.
Lucian grunted, looking at the status window. It been two months all she taught him was only assassination skills and archery which he was surprisingly good at first attempt, what type of master is that."guess I've to grind fast to grow stronger,"he mused inside.
Everytime he clicked on the God's eye, the tab expanded.
[God's eye (unknown) ]
[There is no information available for this ability.]
"Stop acting like you are new to the system,why the disappointed expression. Bring that your ass here and train." Mistress voiced out to him.
[Dagger.
Class - common
Quality - average.]
Teaching me with a average dagger. Assassin are supposed to be expert.
"Take your stance and fight me. If you can last five attacks of mine without bleeding I'll give you a skill book."
Yes! Lucian shouted merrily in his mind.
"I won't disappoint you."
Circulating the unique energy in his eyes,he started analysing her body movement without blinking.
1 strike
2nd strike
3rd strike
4th strike
5th strike.
"How is this possible? You easily deflect all my attacks."
"It a secret ma'am.
Where's my reward?"
"Go to the secretary at the guild and show her this token, she will know what to do."she said throwing a silver bar at me.
Without waiting for any more order, Lucian ran toward the Luking mercenary guild.
"Wind slash technique, good."

_____
Air crossing breathing technique, minimum requirement 1st rank master domain level. Lucian could confirm that this skill is a peak rank martial art skill. Lucian had been taught that martial art were split into low, middle, high and peak, However, this does not mean peak ranked martial art skill were the top. Rumors have it there's a skill that surpassed peak ranked martial art skills. The Divine martial skill.
To aid in the Divine martial path, one must learn a divine martial art skill.
Obviously, Divine skills were not available in this continent.
_Night...._
Lucian had finally deciphered it's contents, and digest the entire wind slash technique.
The first page is about drawing its essence of wind, the second part is air pushing breathing (direction), third part investing windspeed, the fourth part converting it to equilibrium, the fifth part forming an arc. However, even the third part alone was still a bit difficult.
Lucian ended that night with failure.
"Don't rush! I just start learning about skills and if I can train the wind slash technique to the peak of level 1, I believe that my chance of success will increase."
The second day also result in failure.
"Tomorrow I must visit mistress to give me a lecture on the martial art field."

"Did you learn the technique i give."
"That's why I'm here."
"Show me!"
"I didn't get a thing!"
"I'm not surprised muscle head.
Go and learn it in two weeks time, we are heading to City Lord empire after then."
