Lightning Is the Only Way

The Opposer had been born into a poor farmer family with four other children.

The four children and the two parents worked on the farm, but they didn't have enough money to give work to all of them.

In essence, the children weren't working much, but that wasn't a good thing.

The family had nearly no money, and they could barely live off their own food.

The farm was truly tiny.

When the mother had become pregnant with her fifth child, the two parents began to despair.

They couldn't just kill the child since it was their child. On top of that, they didn't even know how to do something like that without endangering the mother's life.

So, they had decided to give it away to the army of the nearest town. They always accepted young boys since they would be future soldiers.

Yet, when the new mother saw her newborn, she couldn't bring herself to give him away.

That was when the father stepped in.

He tried to get the newborn from his wife after a lot of arguing, but she wouldn't give him away. She even attacked her husband.

So, the husband knocked her out with a shovel and took the newborn away.

He couldn't risk the life of his other four kids for his fifth one.

He brought the newborn to the town guards, who accepted it without question.

They didn't care where the children came from.

When the father returned, he had noticed that his wife hadn't woken up.

Even more, a pool of blood had formed on the ground between her legs.

The head injury had killed her.

The father's world broke down.

He hadn't wanted to kill his wife!

Yet, reality couldn't be changed.

His wife was dead.

A couple months later, the guards noticed that the wife of the farmer was absent, and they investigated.

They eventually found her corpse and concluded that the father was the culprit.

The farmer was killed, and his four children were forced to join the guards of the town.

The newborn Opposer knew nothing of these things.

As far as he remembered, he had been born into these barracks.

Eventually, the Opposer grew older.

Yet, on his tenth birthday, a beautiful and noble girl in her late teens took a liking to him.

So, she bought him off the guards.

The guards couldn't refuse since the background of the girl was too powerful.

The young boy entered the powerful household of a nearby city lord.

The city lord was in the Energy Gathering Realm, and for the people living there, he might as well have been as powerful as a God.

Why had the girl taken a liking to the young boy?

Because he was fragile.

Her parents were forcing her to cultivate, and her masters were constantly abusing her. She was above them in status, but they still dared to hit her!

Of course, the masters weren't actually abusive.
