Supreme Human System

Chapter 68: James Dilemma

Kritos looked around and saw the faces of many people. They were hesitating to eat the stone powder. They never thought that their cultivation path would be this hard. 

"Having a strong stomach allows you to absorb the nutrients of anything you eat!"

"Commoners will waste a lot of the essence when they digest the grains they eat. Most of it is excreted as feces."

"Human waste is even eaten by dogs. Larvae thrive in the feces and the dung beetles roll the dung into balls as their brooding chambers! In it, there are large amounts of nutrients that were not completely absorbed!"

"If you can't even absorb the grains completely, don't even think about eating precious resources for cultivation!"

After learning the Earth Swallowing Technique, you will be able to absorb anything you eat completely! When you encounter a famine, you can even eat and digest the bark on the trees or the soil of the earth, giving you the nutrition to sustain life!"

"From today, if someone decides to comprehend this skill, you have to eat meals which consist of Rock powder for a week. After you are done eating, follow my method to practice your Earth Swallowing Technique to kickstart your stomach to digest these hard-to-digest foods into nutrients!"

After hearing Captain Mitchell's words, the surrounding people were speechless. To comprehend this skill, They had to eat that?

They were eager to comprehend this mystic skill, but the requirements are quite tough.

This means they could only stone and stone powder as meals for seven days!

Many of them are thinking about hunting the monsters from the nameless forest. But the reality was cruel. They needed to eat defensive-type rank three monsters. Ignore the Rank 3 monster; even it's hard to kill a rank two monster.

The faces of the members of the three clans were bitter. No one wanted to eat the Stone powder. However, the Clan head ordered them to learn the skill which would be taught by Captain Mitchell. Moreover, the one who would learn the skill will have a chance to become a top echelon of their respective in future.

They needed to at least ease into the process.

As they looked at each other, Kritos walked out of the group and began approaching the stone.

"Kritos!...Kritos!"

Many people started shouting as they saw a living legend, A late one.

Nevertheless, most of the members were not happy seeing a villager gaining this much respect.

The people of Rewa city's mindset were not like the members of the three clans.

Even some Dwivedi Clan members were in the group, which disdain Kritos. Their hate for Kritos mother was much more than anyone. They can't accept a poor villager having a high social status in their clan. 

When Kritos approached in front of a small stone.

He crushes down and crumbles the stone with his body strength. With his full strength, the stone crumbles into many pieces.

Wo...wo...wa!

After watching the astonishing scene, many people start chattering

"Is he really just a rank one apprentice? He even didn't use qi to enhance his body just like Captain Mitchell."

"Maybe he secretly uses it; Whatmore, it was just a small rock."

"Ohh, could you also crumble the stone with your rank three apprentice strength? No, you will just start shitting."

Kritos ignore the noises and swallow the stone powder directly. He didn't forget to close his eyes and make an ugly expression when gulping. 

Although it was hard and disgusting, Kritos was once a player in eating foods. Gluttony was in his every cell.

Kritos throat sores a little when gulping the powder, and every particle of it was glued with his mouth.

Practicing the skill wasn't meant to be an enjoyment. It required suffering, frustration, and the risking of their lives.

It was not limited to only Cultivation. Kritos knew that ordinary people like villagers also experienced much hardship in their life.

As a son of a farmer, Kritos had seen the scene where many villagers die due to drought.

In the Sincromas world, behind the scenes of a peerless expert was an indescribable effort. Eating some Stone or soil was nothing.

Seeing that Kritos was the first to follow his instructions, Captain Mitchell nodded with satisfaction. The others did not think likewise. James looked at Kritos swallow the stone powder, and sneered.

It isn't so simple eating stone.

You may be trying to be a hero, but I'll see how you burst to your death later.

When the people faced famine, people ate grassroots and tree bark. But no one tried eating rock, especially this type of hard rock.

Few animals in the world ate stone. The impure stone minerals in the stone were not something the stomach could digest.

But they never expected that they were required to eat stone powder for their cultivation!

It was like a bolt out of the blue!

"It's just eating stone powder. What's there to fear? Bros, eat! We have to exceed Kritos. This little chick is just here to play after all."

John Augusta, on the other hand, converses with Captain Mitchell and learns that they can eat leaves of a particular plant in exchange for eating Stone.

Although that plant was somewhat poisonous but eating it in less quantity wouldn't harm that much. 

James grew madder and madder just thinking that he is showing off in front of Captain Mitchell. If the other men did not dare eat, he would purposely eat more. He did not believe he would be unable to learn the Earth Swallowing Technique after consuming the stone powder first.

At this point, Kritos had already swallowed about a 100 gram stone powder at a leisurely speed. The Stone powder had begun to expand in his stomach. He felt as if a particle had been stuffed into his stomach and was scraping.

Kritos's stomach began to hurt.

This kind of pain was not obvious in the beginning, but it became worse as time went by, to the point of causing people to die from the pain.

Suddenly, Kritos heard a voice say, "Follow me, do these twenty different moves."

Kritos raised his head and saw Captain Mitchell standing in front of everyone. Captain Mitchell's eyes were on him, with an encouraging smile.

With that, Captain Mitchell began to move.

It was hard to describe Captain Mitchell's movements. His movements looked like a blur. It seemed like he was standing in another space-time dimension, having cut off contact from the outside world.

He demonstrated each of the moves, which were extremely strange. But when the actions connected, it gave off a consistent natural feel.

Captain Mitchell's speed varied. It contained a hard to describe charm.

These actions appeared in the irises of the people, but it was as if seeing a shadow that didn't exist. It looked like an illusion.

Dreamy

Kritos suddenly thought of something. He felt like it was a dream seeing Captain Mitchell's movements.

In a dream, the things are seen, the words said were all very real and clear.

It was possible to have the utmost creativity in the dreams, creating beautiful poems.

One could feel that his literary talent was excellent in the dream, but no matter what, he would never be able to remember what was written or said.

Upon waking up, everything would be forgotten.

Seeing Captain Mitchell's movements, Kritos had such a strange idea.

At this point, Captain Mitchell had already finished. Although he could not remember some of the moves, Kritos knew that Captain Mitchell had done the entire set of movements three times!

With his talent Instant Mastering, Kritos could instantly remember and understand a written Skill. However, watching a skill was utterly different.

Still, he could remember most of the moves due to his talent Instant Mastering.

Kritos remembers 15 moves out of 20 actions.

"Alright, these are the twenty moves of the Earth Swallowing Technique. Do it accordingly. If you can do it, you will have some small success with the Earth Swallowing Technique, and it wouldn't be hard to digest that bit of Stone powder."

Wh What?

Hearing Captain Mitchell's words, James and his company stared wide-eyed!

What did Captain Mitchell just do?

They only saw a blur. Captain Mitchell's body shook, leaving some after-images, and then he was back there standing.

Some of them were thinking if they were giddy since they had seen double.

They did not understand the situation. It was impossible for them to follow Mitchell's movements!

Upon seeing the sodden expressions of many youths, Captain Mitchell asked, "What's the problem?"

"A A question " James swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said his question with difficulty. "If If we can't learn yo your movements, then wh what will happen to the Stone powder that I just ate?"

James felt hopeless. It was too complicated. He couldn't even understand the moves. It was impossible for him to learn it in Seven Days!

Moreover, he was the first to swallow those stone powders. 

"Is I going to die due to eating stone power? Is it the end of my cultivation Journey?" James thought

"Oh?" Captain Mitchell frowned. He could not be bothered with James's retarded question and said, "When you go to the bathroom, use a finger or dig it from there, and you might survive. Remember not to drink any water."

Mitchell internally thought," What a hopeless case?"

Hearing Captain Mitchell finish his words, James Augusta suddenly felt like he had eaten a kilogram of sh*t, the kind that had been fermenting in the intestines for days.

That expression was indescribable.

At this moment, when everyone was busy in the Dwivedi practice area.

A youth having white color on the half portion of his eyebrow was silently Cultivating in a strange dimension.
