Supreme Human System

Chapter 40: Breaking rules is in my blood

"Why are you still standing? Sit there!" 

Kritos nodded and sat opposite the Sanju position. He folded his full sleeves clothes and opened his palm to absorb the heat from the fire pit.

It is 3rd month of 8889 years of Lingan Calendar 

A month of cold, freezing winter and where the wind is whipping through the trees, creaking and groaning like an old rocking chair. 

The fresh chilly air passed through anyone, making them shivers in the cold except for the cultivator.

After Ascending to the Cultivation realms, each advance in level makes their body more tough and immune. 

Even immune to environmental effects and some poisons. 

At the apprentice warrior realm, each cell of the human body fuse with another one, forming a larger cell called a supercell. The supercell is protected by an immense wall. That would make the cultivator's skin more tough and smooth. It would also help the body to connect with the dantian effortlessly, which could act as a flow of energy from the dantian to other body parts.

As a Rank one foundation realm warrior, Sanju had some resistance towards the cold environment while it was hard for Kritos to withstand the cold weather without any clothes.

"Kritos, today I have boiled some fresh soup, and you would definitely like it," Sanju said while twirling the soup with the stick.

Kritos jovially smiled," Wait for a few minutes, elder brother, let me first wash my face."

After having breakfast, Kritos folded the tent and packed up the things. Later, They embark on a new adventure with new hope.

On the way, Kritos nervously starts creating a story to convince Sanju to accept the limit breaker fruit. He knows that nobody had ever heard about this fruit in Rewa City. 

A fruit that breaks the god bestowed limit into a limitless possibility. Kritos believed that his knowledge is much inferior to his elder brother. Hence, there is no way for him to ensure his elder brother that this fruit doesn't have any harmful effects or contain poison.

"Elder brother, the girl who saves me from the horned bear, gives me a sacred fruit. By consuming it, it delivers the consumer a way to break through the limit imposed by the talent."

No, no, this reason has many flows. Why would a high realm cultivator lend me a fruit? Am I that much handsome? Kritos internally thought.

"Let's grind the fruit and give him in the form of soup or fruit juice."

No, no, it may affect the critical properties of limit breaker fruit. I can't take the risk! Kritos fight back with his silly thought

But even after imagining many circumstances and tales, Kritos couldn't find any natural and realistic story. He can't take a risk by telling a plot-holed story, which may result in exposing his biggest secret.

Supreme Human System!

Eventually, Kritos decided to follow the flow. He is not in such a hurry to immediately give the fruit... Maybe he is!

Yes, he was in a rush to get the so-called bloodline. Just thinking about obtaining an ancient creature or race bloodline makes anyone's blood boiling with hunger.

After wandering for an hour, Sanju frustratedly sat on the side rock, " What is happening in the forest? This area was known for the abundance of monsters, but now, what happened here! Where are they? 

Kritos also silently sat on the small rock; he looked around the surroundings, as he guessed, even birds had drastically decrease in numbers.

He knows that something is happening in this forest, which results in a migration of these monsters. 

"Elder brother, there must be a reason for all these abnormalities. Let's drive into the deeper area of the outer region of the forest."

Sanju first glare at Kritos for a second, " Ok, but I will go alone; I can't take a risk by bringing you along with me. There exist many pseudo rank one monsters and a few rank one."

"But, elder brother, I"

"No but! Leave the forest and go home. There is no need for you to adventure in the outer region without me. I have to inspect the border area of the outer region for a while."

With a pause, Sanju looked at the Kritos, nervous and pleading eyes, " No need to worry about me, I can easily take a group of rank one monsters. Even in the case of extreme danger, I can retreat far away with a thought."

Sanju proudly smiles and grabs a clock structure device from his big. " This is our family treasure, teleportation horologe, which can quickly teleport the user ten miles away from the previous position. But, it takes one year to recharge fully again."

Kritos glanced at the clock type device, which looks extremely rusty and old. There was only one pointer on it and a circular button on the top. It was the first time, Kritos glimpse a magical tool, and his eyes glow with a craving.

"Ok, but be careful elder brother," Kritos silently asserted.

Kritos never thought that his obsession with the system's current mission would bring him into this stage where he has to leave the forest without completing his goals.

Now, only one thought comes into his mind, " Why I said those words? That we have to drive into the deeper region."

Nevertheless, Kritos has his own plan to complete the system mission-Clue.

Sanju nodded his head and put his bag on the shoulder. " Bye, and remember not to fool around the forest."

He gave Kritos a last warning before leaping into the tree and fading away into the forest. 

Kritos stared at the disappearing figure, and after a second, an evil smile appeared on his face.

"Elder Brother, how did you think that I'm an obedient boy. Breaking the rules is in my blood."

Kritos looked at the Status screen, where a new skill was recently added.
