Chapter 22: The challenger league
It was already evening when kritos reached in front of his home. Still, some bruises are present on his face and hands. Kritos looked towards his house, which was neither big nor small, just good enough for four-person.
He thought," I have to hide these bruises and blood stains from clothes, no no, it didn't work, I have to burn my clothes and wear a new one. Let's first find big brother Sanju."
It was common for a 17-year-old guy walking in the street with bloodstains on his clothes. It is a cultivation world where blood is more common than water, but what about their parents? They surely lectured them and would be worried about their son.
Kritos couldn't see his parents worried after losing their son.
Eventually, he finds Sanju and tells him his circumstance; Sanju was shocked after listening to kritos adventure in the forest.
He angrily said, " Kritos, why did you go to the forest alone? Next time I would surely inform aunty and uncle if you ever try to become a lone wolf,"
Kritos scratches his head and apologizes for his mistakes. Kritos didn't imagine that in the outer zone of the nameless forest, a rank one demonic monster would have been waiting for him. Luckily, some kind souls saved him.
"Big Brother Sanju, where were you going now?" Kritos said
"Ohh, grandfather calls me, it seems he is going to give me some advice about this year's competition," Sanju said.
"Yeah, having you this time, we will definitely win the Rewa city competition," Kritos smiled
"haha, Just believe in me, brother. This time I will show them the power of the dwivedi clan,"
Every 5th year, a tournament is held in Rewa city. Usually, the winner will get the chance to obtain the tier one magical stone and earth rank skill book or earth rank spellbook. The second and third-ranked receive tier zero magical stone, earth rank skill book.
Skill books, techniques, and spellbooks had rank, which determines the powers and utility of the book.
Mortal rank, Earth rank, Sky rank, Mystic rank, heaven rank, pseudo god rank, and last the legendary god rank. From mortal to heaven, rank skill books are divided into three sub ranks, namely low tier, mid-tier, and the last high tier.
Pseudo god rank and god rank books are just myth, no one knows anything about them.
In sincromas world history, the highest-ranked book, one ever had cultivated or trained, was low tier Heaven rank skill book and high tier mystic techniques.
The citizens of Rewa city commonly called this tournament, The challengers league. And the winners are known as The challenger.
Kritos smiled after listening to the statement of his cousin; he said," I believe in you, big brother."
"Good, now I am leaving, or grandpa will become mad," Sanju said.
"Ok," Kritos replied.
After watching his brother leaving, Kritos mumbled, "I wish I can fight like them, a real warrior with proper skill and techniques, not like some monkey, who only knows how to use improper skill and techniques."
Kritos sighed, he also wanted to participate in this five-year tournament, but with his cultivation, he will undoubtedly knock out in the first round.
Now, with these new clothes, no one will suspect me, Kritos thought, but suddenly he heard a warm voice
[Ding...]
[New mission available]
[Mission - Pride]
[Participate in the challenger league and should fall in the top 3 positions]
[Reward:
1st position- A title, Tier 3 magical stone, supreme qi recovery pill recipe
2nd position- Tier 3 magical stone and supreme qi recovery pill (Rank 1 pill)
3rd position - Tier 2 magical stone and ultimate qi recovery pill(Rank 1 pill) ]
[Failure: A trip to darkness for one year]
"System, you are joking with me. Don't you know that I have only peak mortal stage body cultivation? I can't even use qi,"
[Ding...]
[System is just void stage AI. It gives mission difficulty according to the duration, system first time attached to the host. From System calculation, after two months, the host can easily rank 1st in the tournament. If not, then it is just because of host laziness and his personality.]
"Fuck, it means you think, In only four months my cultivation should have reached at least rank five appreciate the warrior, "
After some thinking, kritos understand; maybe I just underestimated the system. Now, I have only two months after that tournament will start kritos thought.
"Hey, System, what is AI." kritos asked confusedly. He never heard this word, AI.
[Ding...]
[System can't reveal the existence of AI for now. It will only burden you.]
"Ahh, how many secrets this system holds," kritos whispered.
"Ok then, What is the effect of the supreme qi circulation pill and the ultimate qi circulation pill."
He only heard about a normal qi circulation pill whose function was the controlling Qi to flow from the dantian, through the meridians, and back into the dantian in a cycle. It helps to replenish stamina, purify the Qi, or strengthen the meridians.
It was of the lowest quality; after taking a single pill, it could completely restore the qi and blood levels of a Foundation stage realm cultivator in half an hour.
[Ding...]
[ just directly swallow it, the host would see the effects, don't worry, it will be beneficial to the host.]
"arg..it means I have to win the tournament to know the effects. let's forget it, for now; mother must be waiting for me."
Dwivedi clan, inner region, Radha house
Kritos was lying on the bed after taking the dinner, thinking about his cultivation and future path. He thought," Can I have a chance to win the tournament? Will I ever be able to take revenge? or is it just an unrealistic dream.
Even after the miraculous encounter with the system, there was always a doubt in his heart.
He knows I am not the best; I am not the smartest, so why would I have a chance to become the strongest.
In childhood, Kritos always thought that the world revolved around him; he was the center of attention, but when he grew up, he understood that the world doesn't revolve around him. That truth hurts him. From that day onwards, he realized he was just a side character of some world tale, whose dream was to become a hero.
Kritos was lost in thoughts, but suddenly he heard a pleasant voice in his mind,
[ It's supposed to be impossible. If it wasn't impossible, everyone would do it. The impossible is what makes it great ]
As he listened to the warm voice, a tear came out from his right eyes; an unknown scene came into his view.
******
"Remember, my son, It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great."
*******
Unconsciously one sentence comes out from kritos mouth," Father, one day I will."
