Supreme Human System

Chapter 129: A strange old man



It was already the afternoon of the fifth day when Kritos exited from his cultivation.

"It is quite refreshing to attain such a strength!" Kritos asserted while he tightly clutched his hand.

He could feel the surge of qi inside him. Moreover, all the impurities in his body were devoured by the strange energy.

Currently, Kritos strength is comparable to an ordinary Rank 6 Foundation Realm Cultivator. 

This new upgraded technique is really something that can increase his battle power on another level. Besides, there are not single impurities in his body, due to which, Kritos cultivation will be smooth for a time.

Grrrrr!!!

Kritos heard a crooked voice from his stomach.contemporary romance

"Huh! I need to eat some food."

It has already been five days since he had eaten any food. Kritos's body complexion is a bit dull compared to 5 days ago.

As an early phase cultivator, he needs large amounts of food to sustain his body. Only peak Saint cultivators don't need to consume food. Their body absorbs pure nutrients and diet from the surroundings.

Whereas, except for them, all cultivators need to consume a large amount of food to sustain their bodies.

Afterward, Kritos opened the door of his room and walked down to the ground floor.

Upon reaching there, Kritos saw a group of three people quietly eating their food.

Later, he glanced at the reception table, where he noticed the young girl silently reading something.

"Hello!" Kritos asked after arriving at the reception table.

Upon listening, the young girl quickly looked up at Kritos.

"Hello, sir, How are you? You were in the room for almost five days. Did you make a breakthrough?"

In the cultivation world, it's not rare to see someone going secluded for a few days. High Realm cultivators sometimes take a year to make a breakthrough.

Besides, anyone could infer that a cultivator was probably in closed door cultivation if they stayed in their room for a few days.

Kritos nodded his head. 

Ishika cheerfully smiled and excitedly asked," Sir, how does it feel? Did you see any change in your body after the breakthrough?

Kritos gazed at his optimistic face and then peek at her paralyzed leg. He understands why she asked such a question.

"Hmm, it feels good! About any change in my body… just my strength increased to another level!" Kritos hopelessly said. 

Upon hearing Kritos's response, Ishika was somewhat disappointed as if she wished to hear some miracle. Still, she has a smile on her face.

"Ohh! Congratulate, sir!" Suddenly she clearly looked at Kritos's body," Sir, your condition?"

"It is fine. I just need to consume some food." Kritos gently replied.

"Wait, sir, I will quickly order some meals for you," After saying, she immediately pressed a small bell beside her tiny hand.

"Fine, I will wait there!" Kritos replied.

Ishika nodded her head.

After that, Kritos moves towards an empty table.

Kritos could see the admiration in her gaze, more especially admiration towards every cultivator.

Shortly after he sat on the chair, a middle aged woman came towards him. She was the mother of the young girl and owner of this lodge.

"Young sir, Have you decided on what you'd like to eat?" The woman asked him after her greeting.

Kritos nodded and spoke without even a shred of hesitation within his voice, "I want everything on the menu."

"..."

Everybody there, including the middle aged woman, suddenly gazed at him with surprised expressions on their faces, almost like they couldn't believe what they'd just heard.

"I understand; I shall notify the chief to make the remaining food," The middle aged woman bowed to him before leaving the place.

Sometime later, once the food began arriving at the table, Kritos furiously began eating the food, quickly shocking the other people.

'How can so much food fit inside such a body?' They couldn't help but ask themselves.

Even a monster would feel shame in front of him.

...

Sometime later, Kriros sighed in a satisfied manner, "That was a great meal."

Kritos didn't notice that when he was mindlessly consuming a massive amount of food, all the people around him were curiously watching him.

Some were amazed by the amount he had eaten.

After eating the meal, Kritos pays the extra bill for a large amount of food and then departs to his room for the rest

In the evening…

Bakiya City….

The shops, inns, and houses all had rectangular edges and flat roofs, the road was paved with stone, every building had two to three ornamental plants planted outside them.

The pedestrians walking on the road had different attires and dressing styles compared to those in Rewa city. 

When Kritos came out from the lodge and looked around, he first saw some mercenaries walking around the street as if they were searching for somebody.

They were approx 20-30 people.

'Why are there so many mercenaries in one place? Has something happened in this city?' Kritos thought to himself.

Soon, with the help of Eagle's eye, Kritos checks his surroundings.

Suddenly, his eyes fall on a particular place.

Due to the Eagle eye, Kritos seemed to see some irregularity when his eyes landed on a figure not too far away from him.

He was a short man covering himself in a brown blanket. Earlier, Kritos didn't notice him because of his low presence, but now that he had finished observing others, the man caught his attention; the man had hidden most of his body in the blanket, so it was hard to make out of his whole appearance, only his face could be seen from the side.

The man had messy brown hair, growing until his long beard, his head was bigger, and his tight muscles near his neck were visible. Moreover, he was acting like a beggar.

However, Kritos was not puzzled by his demeanor, but the strange setting around him, due to which mercenaries walking around the old man didn't notice his presence, as if the old man didn't exist there.

'This old man is abnormal,' Kritos concluded after looking at the old man for a while.

Soon enough, Kritos also noticed a deep wound around his neck. The blood was continuously falling from the neck, but the old man simply ignored it, as if he didn't care about his life.

"Hey, man!" Kritos shouted at him. 

The man's ear slightly twitched, he turned and looked at Kritos, he checked around and confirmed that Kritos was looking at him, but even after he deeply looked at Kritos, he still chose to ignore him.

Kritos was about to shout again but considering that shouting in the middle of the street wasn't a good idea, he walked toward him.

The old man saw Kritos approaching him and frowned, he again confirmed that he didn't know him and subconsciously took a step back.

'Eh?' Kritos noticed that there seemed to be a misunderstanding, he was about to shout, but then he saw the short old man frowning again, the shout from earlier caught a few people's attention, and his attire didn't seem like he would like such a thing.

Kritos realized it and increased his pace to approach him quickly.

But in the next second the old man covered his head under the blanket, turned around, and started running.

Kritos was dumbfounded. He felt like he was being really mistaken here.

He didn't want to trouble the old man any more and was just about to stop when he felt a big hand pressing on his shoulder. Kritos turned and saw the big bear-like man running beside him.

"Little Brother, leave him to me and thank you for your help," The man assured him, then sprinted towards the old man in the distance.

"Huh?" Kritos was confused.

"Yes, you wait here, leave him to us," The big woman who was with the bear-like man earlier ran past him.

Kritos intently stared at the 'big' woman, who was putting so many efforts into running while carrying the weight of her... Body as she chased the old man.

Suddenly, the slim who was lazing around also started chasing the old man while shouting at Kritos.

"Hey boy, let this senior help you. I will just take half of the goods," The slim man said, in the next second, he displayed his inhuman running speed, surpassing both the man and woman in one go.

"Humph… You mercenaries do nothing without money, as long as my Family exists, we don't need you to take care of thieves in our city," The woman said as she took out a talisman and activated it. The talisman turned into a golden light and shot towards the sky, it then burst like a firecracker making an ax symbol in the sir.

Soon Kritos saw several figures approaching from afar, they were jumping from one roof to the other as they came to the big woman.

"Everyone catch that thief, don't let him escape today," The bear-man shouted, and everyone dashed towards the old man who was already very far.

Kritos kept standing there in a daze.

'What the fukkk just happened?' Kritos thought while watching the crowd running behind the lonely old man.

Apparently, someone suffered for no reason because of Kritos.

Soon enough, Kritos understands the situation upon seeing the crowd. 

'He seems to be a thief… but why are so many mercenaries chasing him?" Kritos thought to himself.
