Chapter 1: Devil inside him Part 1 (1/2)

”Little thief, stop!” A middle-aged man wearing armor ran towards the young man and shouted. His feet were quick but his heavy armor made it harder for him to run.

”Hehe! You got to be kidding me. Why would I be idiot enough to stop?” The young man turned his head and shouted while running with all of his speed.

”Little thief, don't forget that I am a CULTIVATOR.” The middle-aged man shouted as his foot stomped on the ground. He created a big hole as his body sprinted towards the young man. In just a single move, he came close to the young man.

'Damn! Damn! I shouldn't have messed up with the cultivators. Think Qin, think, what can you do to escape this situation?' Qin looked at his surroundings but nothing was near him. The road was quite big and there were fewer people.

Bang!

The middle-aged man make another powerful step and rushed closer to Qin.

'The biggest gamble of my life. It seems I lost it. But, I am not going down like this.' Qin shouted as he puts more force on his legs and sprinted forward.

”Got you, little thief.” Unfortunately, his movement was futile when the middle-aged man pressed his leg once more.

Bang! Bang! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Suddenly, when he pressed his foot on the ground, it pressed a stone that wasn't attached to the ground. The stone rose because of the pressure and struck his head. The impact made the middle-aged man fall on his back and roll a few times.

Until the young man realized it, he was already a few hundred meters away.

”Hahaha! Boy, what did I tell you? You were born with superb luck. But, this luck only triggers when you are in extreme danger.” An old man jumped on the roof and shouted. But, he was also running together with Qin.

Qin didn't stop either. He simply turned his head at the old man and shouted ”Hey old man, why didn't you come to save me? I almost got caught.”

”Hahaha! If I had come to save you then your incredible luck wouldn't be activated.” The old man laughed out as he ran on the rooftop.

”Hey old man, come down!”

”How dare you run on others' rooftop?” Suddenly, a few people came out of the room a shouted at the old man. Qin immediately shuts his mouth and no longer considered himself close to the old man.

After a few minutes, they reached near the barren land with a single thatched roof house. Qin walked towards the old man and said ”This is what I got for you. Now, fulfill your promise and give me the cultivation technique.”

Qin Che was an orphan raised by a few people in a distant village. But when he was ten years old, his village got slaughtered, and only he survived. At the age of ten, he left towards another village all by himself.

The next village was far but there was a forest nearby. He found many fruits to eat and survived by walking on the outskirts of the forest. Because this forest was filled with demonic beasts, he didn't want to go to the middle.

After coming to this village, he tried to find a job but at the fragile age of ten, it was hard. That was one of the worse moments of his life and at that moment, he met this old man who taught him stealing.

Qin was taught not to steal at an early age so he didn't believe this old man instead worked hard to find a job. He worked as a servant in a big family in the village. He earned enough to live a good life but something always bothered him.

In this family, some people could access superhuman strength through sheer training methods. These methods were called cultivation techniques. Because Qin was taught to be a good man, he never sneaked or illegally tried to learn those cultivation techniques.

Instead, he helped the family by accessing the information of the servants who were learning those techniques without the family's order. This granted him a better place in the family. But, he was still a servant. ”I'm sorry, James. But, we don't want to make enemies with them.”

Of course, he didn't try that because his godfather and godmother taught him to be low-key and humble as much as possible. That's why he spent his six years trying to be as low-key as possible. Because he didn't want to tie his future with those technique restrictions.

In these six years, there were many things he learned about the cultivation techniques. Even if they steal the family's cultivation technique, they can hardly reach a higher level due to the difficulties of resources and talent.
