Supreme Human System

Chapter 87: Start of Challenger League

After extracting what Kritos wanted, he saw transparent energy flowing from the dead goblin towards him and entered his chest.

However, Kritos found something odd, his body didn't experience any change.

Suddenly, he saw a merge option on the right side of the notification bar. There is a warning written in the notification before merging any racial trait to Kritos body.

So, Kritos decided to leave the forest as fast he could. He just comes here to obtain a racial trait and now, he needs a secular place to merge this racial trait into his body.

He didn't any longer and left the area.

It took him 8 minutes to carefully reach home.

After reaching there Kritos tried to merge the racial trait into his body.

[Merging with <Lesser Night Vision> will cause a permanent internal change within your eye]

[Do you wish to merge with <Night Vision>]

"Yes,"

Kritos accepted it after thinking the change will be internal.

The moment he accepted it, he felt a painful burning sensation in his eyes. While enduring the pain unexpectedly a new notification pops up.

[High Human body modifies the inferior racial trait so that it adjust in host body]

[Lesser Night Vision > Night Vision]

With time, the pain sensation slowly washed away after a few seconds. 

To Kritos amazement, when he opened his eyes, he could see in the dark.

Even though it was not as clear as day, everything was clearly visible within his vicinity. Still, the colors were rather dull than clear.

He couldn't see what kind of change occurred in the appearance of his eyes after seeing his eyes in the mirror.

"This racial trait is not much use in the challenger league but with my innate trait <Heavenly glare> it can be of some use."

Kritos glanced at the shining moon and then lay down his body in his bed.

Before the Tournament, he wanted to take enough rest.

****

It was already early morning, Kritos opened his blurry eyes.

Subsequently, he walked down and washed his head.

While eating breakfast, Radha asked about his plan.

"Are you really going to participate in the 2nd round of the challenger league? Son, There are many people who started cultivation before you. Please, think of it."

"Mom, don't worry and be at ease. Your son will only let others suffer losses; he himself won't suffer any. Even if there will be a deadly match, grandpa won't let me suffer. With him, no one dares to seriously injure your son.

As she heard her son's statement, Radha had a helpless expression. 

She knows that his son's cultivation has drastically increased in these two months but she doesn't want him to take risks.

Due to abnormality, no one clearly knows about Kritos cultivation. He himself tells his parents and family that he reached the rank five apprentice realm. 

Kritos wanted to tell them that he broke through to the next rank but then it will become troublesome. So, he remains quiet about his cultivation.

After eating his fill, Kritos again tells them that there is no need to take tension before leaving for the Tournament arena.

He proceeded to the Sanju house before going to the arena.

***

"In the Challenger league, approx 60 people will participate between 16 to 18 years. According to what I know, 10 of 60 people have already stepped into the Rank nine Apprentice realm."

"This time only 12 people from our clan participated in the league, including you. Moreover, there is only one person who is in the Rank nine Apprentice realm."

Kritos knew the person, He was Sam Dwivedi, Grandson of an elder of the Dwivedi Clan.

Sanju shared the information that he knew of.

Kritos slightly nodded.

About Sanju and Clara's duel, it will be held privately after the challenger league.

"So our clan has some chance for the top three. The Rank nine of Apprentice Realm isn't something the Rank five compare to. What you can do now is strive to enter the top thirty. To you, it isn't really difficult. So how about it? 

Sanju looked at Kritos.

Top thirty?

Kritos shook his head and smiled.

"What?"

Sanju was puzzled.

"I'm not interested in being top thirty, elder brother," Kritos said indifferently.

"Then what position are you interested in?" Sanju asked.

"The champion!"

Kritos's eyes flashed with a trace of confidence.

Sanju was instantly struck dumb.

Champion?

My brother is really daring to imagine it. Just for his imagination, I will... Maybe with his talent and late one battle power he could reach in the top twenty.

"Hahahaha."

Just at this moment, loud laughter sounded from behind the two of them. The laughter was filled with disdain.

Two figures quickly passed by the two of them.

It was precisely the two members of the Vishwa Clan, Vishwa Mayank, and Vishwa Manvi.

Obviously, they overheard what Kritos said.

"Kritos, if you want to be the champion, then first you have to defeat me I'll be waiting!" Manvi said with a laughter in her tone.

Mayank glanced at Kritos, his face filled with a mocking expression.

Kritos ignored Vishwa Mayank.

He liked to use facts to prove everything; debating was meaningless.

Talking with idiots just wastes his precious time. So, both of them quickly leave out.

Kritos and Sanju quickly arrived at the Main city arena.

The surrounding place around the arena is filled with peoples. 

Presently, the arena was fully surrounded by people. Some are normal citizens who were here for enjoyment and there were some Clan members of three clans who came to join in the fun.

After a short moment, the three Chief Judges appeared.

"Silence."

The white-eye-browed old man in the lead's voice clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone present.

For a moment, the noisy Tournament arena became completely silent.

"Condensing qi Energy into sound, this is something only a cultivator above the Foundation realm is capable of."

Kritos looked at the white-eye-browed old man with a slightly startled expression.

"Today, the Rewa city youth between the ages of sixteen and Eighteen will carry out this year's challenger league. This competition will decide the top ten, top three, and the champion, all of whom will obtain the generous prizes of the Clan," the white-eye-browed old man said slowly.

Subsequently, another Chief Judge started narrating the prizes for the top ten youth of this year's Challenger League, the prizes of the top three, and finally the champion's prize.

Kritos knew of this since long ago.

But the prizes that the Chief Judge spoke of still aroused the morale of most of the youth who were participating.

After the introduction of reward, the third chief stands and starts telling about Round first where anyone can show their skill for entertainment purposes.

Kritos clearly saw the face of the 3rd chief Judge, she was the princess of the Star kingdom.

They stayed for the last two months in Rewa city. There are rumors that they came here for a search of a treasure which is in the Middle region of Nameless forest.

Kritos moves his head and finds the person he was searching for.

She was sitting beside the City's head.

He quickly turned his head before their eyes could meet.

"This girl still holds a grudge for my previous mistake. I can sense it. It is better to not look in her direction."

The first round was just for entertainment and the winner will only get some benefit.

So, Kritos merely watched the first round, he didn't have any plan to join it. Furthermore, he didn't have any skill which can be beautifully displayed.

After the first round, the 2nd judge stood and Announced the rules for the main event.

"This time Challenger league 2nd round will be conducted on a point basis where everyone begins with a single point. Every victory increases their points by one, while every defeat reduces their points by one. Finally, the ranking will be listed based upon the accumulated points. As for the question of fairness, you can all be at ease; out of the 60 people, unless accidents happen, everyone will need to battle 59 times."

The Chief Judge explained the rules.

For a moment, many people drew in a breath of cold air.

59 battles

Wouldn't that mean that they would have to battle every participant?

That pace would exhaust people to death!

"This year's Challenger league will be divided into three days. We have already planned out your battle order, pushing down the number of battles per person per day down to fifteen or below," the Chief Judge continued.

Only now did the crowd heave a sigh of relief.

"Now, the people called upon by the judge, enter the relevant arena. If you don't appear within five minutes, it will be considered as a forfeit," Princess said.

The three judges on the combat arenas quickly started calling names.

The first battle of the first round had a familiar face to Kritos.

James Augusta.
