Chapter 69: John Augusta past

"Why can't I control myself the previous night after looking at the moon?"

After the cultivation, Sanju washes his body in the lake which was located beside the strange cave.

"From where could I obtain the clothes?

When Sanju opened his eyes in the early morning, he saw himself lying naked in a cave.

Before he could deeply think about his current situation, a wave of electric shook his body.

The energy was overflowing in his body and It was leaking endlessly from his body.

Quickly Sanju crossed his leg and instantly sat on the ground. He tries to concentrate all his energy to make breakthroughs.

With Sanju's direction, the overflowing follows a particular root. 

Gulp...Gulp…!

The energy furiously destroys any obstacles which come across its path. Meanwhile, Sanju experiences great pain. He felt someone destroying his body from inside.

Rank 3 Foundation warrior…!

Suddenly, with a wave of energy, Sanju reached Rank three of foundation warriors.

Moreover, the energy didn't halt, it rushed into many parts of Sanju bodies. Swallowing his body in one go.

Gulp...Gulp…Gulp!

The mysterious energy spread across Sanju's body.

Rank 4 Foundation mage…!

Sanju shook his head, he can't believe in one go, he successive made two breakthroughs.

Sanju felt his eyes and body have changed. His legs were more nimble and his eyes were more clear.

Besides, now, his eyes can sense the surrounding animals and trees. In the cave, there wasn't a single source of brightness. However, he can easily see-through in the darkness.

"My essence of energy also changes. Pure white energy mixed with it." 

Sanju washes his body after jumping into it. When he washed his hands, Sanju clearly saw the image of his face.

"My hair!"

Not only his internal body changed, even Sanju's external features changed.

The color of his hair was changed from pure black to pure white. Not only that, his hair length has slightly increased.

"What happens to me in a single night? Why can't I clearly remember it?"

After deeply thinking, " I guess it must be related to that strange magical fruit."

Nevertheless, Sanju was happy upon seeing his cultivation. Even his grandfather, the clan head of Dwivedi Clan is just a Rank nine Foundation mage.

***

"Fuck, is he teasing me? James internally thought. He can't help but become angry.

James was crushed. This isn't some Earth Swallowing Technique, it's a prank!

A prank which can cost someone life.

Many of the members of the three clans had already begun digging their throats with their fingers, hoping to vomit out the stone powder they had just eaten.

Earlier when James encouraged them to swallow the stone powder. Some of the youth swallow the stone power after crushing a stone.

However, it was useless. The Stone powder was extremely sticky with water. The moment it reached the stomach, it sank and coagulated. Vomiting this final block would prove difficult.

Even though many youths had vomited out their gastric juices, only a few unconcentrated stone powder splinters came out. The concentrated stone powder was still bound tightly in their stomachs.

Momentarily, the youths all froze up.

"Captain Mitchell, please stop joking. I couldn't even see your movements!" said one of the men who were close to tears.

"How could anyone learn such a movement?"

Despite hearing the complaints of many members, Captain Mitchell remained indifferent. He did the twenty moves of the Earth Swallowing Technique again. However, this time, he did it at a slower speed, allowing the people from three clans to see better.

But Kritos realized that when Captain Mitchell lowered his speed, there was a charm lacking in his set of moves!

And it was this charm that was the crux of this set of moves!

"Let me try!" At that moment, John Augusta stood forward.

John Augusta had already eaten quite a bit of leaf from a special plant.

The special plant was quite rare in this region as Rewa city is situated near-wilderness.

John Augusta had some perceptive ability after all. He barely demonstrated the movements Captain Mitchell had done. But in fact, his movements were far from correct.

Of course, only Kritos could tell. As for James and his company, they were filled with admiration.

"Young Master John is a man of God!"

"Wow, how could you do those moves?" James began to suck up. He was truly filled with admiration for John as he astounded him.

Although, James has yet to find the solution to his constant pain in his stomach. He couldn't help but suck up to John. Maybe a young master would help him.

But Captain Mitchell looked at John Augusta and said lightly, "That barely counts."

Given this evaluation made John feel a sense of defeat. The moves were too hard, and he felt it was quite impressive that he was able to mimic it.

But Captain Mitchell only rated it as "barely counts". His standards were too high.

John Augusta always had confidence in his talent. He felt that it was not because he failed to do well, but a result of Captain Mitchell's overly strict standards and he was also not generous with his praises.

At that moment, John Augusta noticed that Captain Mitchell's gaze was focused on Kritos.

Kritos had closed his eyes as if in a daze.

John Augusta sneered.

"Huh! A late one! You are just a villager. You can't fool me by closing your eyes."

Due to some incident, John never likes peasants and villagers.

'Having eaten so much Stone powder, the kid's stomach must be hurting right now.'

This Earth Swallowing Technique was so difficult, the set of movements was filled with mystery. How could a seventeen-year-old like him learn it, who just started cultivating yesterday? It was best that he died a painful death from a ruptured stomach! People like him are just a burden for Sincromas world."

Due to Captain Mitchell's high praise for a villager, Kritos. John Augusta treated Kritos with more animosity.

Five years ago, there was a time when John was attracted to a village girl, Selena. At first, John was shy to talk to her. At that time, John and Sanju were best friends. They train their bodies and play together. So, John tells Sanju about Selena. 

However, As a novice, Sanju said that he couldn't help. 

To learn the trick to talk and impress a girl, John started talking with his clan members who were 4 to 5 years older than him. With time, he starts getting along with them. 

And the time comes when John encourages himself to meet with his crush and tells his feelings to her.

However, when he came to meet Salena in the slum areas. He saw something which breaks his heart. 

The clan members who taught him about the way to impress a girl were Kissing and playing with Salena.

At first in anger, he thought they were trying to r*p her. But when he came close, he saw the face and look of Salena which scattered his heart.

In The midst of rage, he dashes into them. He tried to kill the bastards who played with his innocence. The images of Salena's expression kept appearing in his mind.

John furiously killed them with his clan treasure, the living puppet, leaving Salena alone. He always kept the treasure with him. 

In resentment and hatred, John Augusta tries to r*p Salena who had fallen on the ground due to fear. 

Unexpectedly Sanju appeared in time and stopped John from doing the awful act.

Previously, John had already told Sanju that tomorrow he'll visit the slum to talk with Salena.

So, Sanju secretly follows him to see how his friend embarrasses himself.

Who knows that the situation was completely different when he arrived at the slum.

From that day, John hates villagers and the poor from the core of his heart. Besides, the childhood friendship between John and Sanju comes to an end due to this incident. John blamed Sanju for being good towards the lower caste people. 

About that girl, Salena. John secretly killed her when She was going to marry someone.

After this incident, an uproar spread in Rewa city due to John.

Present time…

John glanced at Kritos who was fully immersed in his own world. Then, he looked around to find his childhood best friend.

'So, he doesn't come here. Huh! Arrogant bastard.' John thought

"When he would stop fooling around with the villager. Fool! He doesn't know how filthy these low-caste persons are." There was a hint of loneliness in his voice.

Although John said he doesn't want his sister, Clara with Sanju. In his heart, there was a never better person than Sanju for his sister.

Again John glanced at Kritos who was still closing his eyes.

In Kritos's mind, Captain Mitchell's movements were repeated again and again like a movie. He started to realize something.
