Chapter 47: Unpleasant memories

Sanju can't believe his brother is one of the anomalies. Who was known as the late one?

Kritos had assumed the reaction on Sanju's complexion when he told about the last one.

"Yes, brother, I think so. Besides the moment I awaken my soul beast. I can see through the hidden property of anything." Kritos smiled and shifted his gaze towards the magical fruit.

Listening to the words of Kritos, Sanju has confirmed the awakening of his brother's soul beast.

Sanju has heard about an innate trait that helps the user to discover and detect the earthly treasure, magical fruits, and numerous unbelievable artifacts.

Compared to that, Kritos innate talent is not much shocking. 

However, it is undoubtedly a high tier trait, which would place Kritos on equal ground to an appraisal.

Appraisals are a very respectable path; they don't have to worry about the money and qi stone for the cultivation. Still, they are not relatively powerful in comparison to the battle powers.

"How does it work? What have you seen in this Fruit?" Sanju asked. He was eager to know about this fruit for which they had wasted almost an hour.

"For my perspective, the more lustrous the thing for my eyes, the better would be its benefit. We can say it would be a more spiritual item. And my gaze is telling it is compared to our family treasure in terms of lustrous." Kritos proudly said.

"This?" A shocking look appeared on Sanju

Without letting him to say further, Kritos forcefully put the fruit in his hand and said," Compare to me, it is more beneficial to you, as you know, due to my talent, I can't further advance in cultivation."

Even if anyone has a high-grade soul beast, they still can't break the talent's restraints. It is like you have a full bottle of wine, but you can't drink it in one way.

Time is the most challenging obstacle in the race of Cultivation, and a human has a limited amount of years to cultivate.

Sanju had also thought about this, but the magical fruit was seen and found by his brother. So, Kritos would have the first priority to consume the fruit.

Sanju hesitated to accept this much favor. He knows even Kritos has low talent, he can still benefit from the magical fruit.

"Just take it, elder brother, trust me." 

Sanju hesitated for a second and then put the magical fruit in his pocket. It isn't sensible to consume the fruit in the middle of the forest.

"Ok, Kritos, but remember you may regret it in the future. Are you sure?" Sanju heartily tease

"You can have it; I don't trust myself." Cheerfully Kritos said

"Means?" 

"Well, maybe the fruit is poisonous, as you had said earlier." Kritos giggled

"Are you messing with your big brother?" Sanju made a boxing stance.

"Maybe or maybe not," Kritos replied.

The rays of sunlight were hitting the trees, and it was already early afternoon.

***

After the incident on the two regions' border, Kritos and Sanju decided to go back there home. Both were eager to reach home as soon as possible.

Sanju was waiting to consume the fruit as soon as possible, and Kritos were waiting to absorb the crystal and create his soul beast eagerly. 

Finally, they reached the Rewa city entrance. Both were exhausted due to walking for a few hours. 

On the way, Kritos shared the look of his imaginary soul beast and gave details about his soul beast property. Most of the time, Kritos kept the secrets related to soul beast powers. Saying it is not very powerful, or Sanju can see it personally in the tournament battle.

After informing the guards, they step into the Rewa city. Sanju talked with them a bit and then decided to leave.

"Brother Sanju, where were you these days? Tsk! Probably Training secretly for your dual." 

Both Kritos and Sanju heard a voice from the side. They glanced towards the group of youths coming in their direction.

Sanju easily recognized the voice owner; he was the current young master of the Vishwa Clan, and with him, his sister, and other members of the Vishwa clan were coming.

Vishwa Martis is the full name of the Vishwa clan's current young master. A plain and easy-going person. From the looks of his face, no one will dare to say he was born in a wealthy clan.

Martis never liked to play with the kids of his age at a young age. Cultivating all the time was his primary work. He nurtures his willpower by going through many hardships at a young age. However, he was deeply obsessed with his sister, even if she does something miserable.

Martis's sister, Manvi, was known for her unruly behavior towards the peasants and poor people. She may look like an innocent person from the exterior, but many people did not know the real her. 

She has a best friend who was the daughter of an elder of the Vishwa clan.

(For reference: Look at chapter 7)

Kritos strangely looked at the group of people who were approaching them. Kritos had met them many times when he was new in Rewa city. The last two years in the Rewa city was miserable for Kritos due to this group, except for Martis. 

It is the first time when Kritos saw the appearance of Martis from this distance.

Most of the time, Martis remained in his training area, cultivating peacefully. 

"Brother Martis, I'm not like you, who is too obsessed with his cultivation and training. You know, other than cultivating, there are many things in this world." Sanju replied 

"Hmm, maybe, but I don't have time for them. Let's talk about this topic another time. I want to tell you something about this year's challenger league. Can we talk alone?" Martis asked

Sanju glanced at Kritos while Kritos nodded his head in response.

"Ok," Sanju replied

Both of them leave their group and walk approx 70 meters away from the group.

While they were talking, Kritos and the members of the Vishwa clan remained there.

"Hey, peasant, have you forgotten your position after staying in the dwivedi clan for two years. Peasant, stay away from Sanju, don't dare to corrupt him with your filthy mouth." Manvi said with displeasure.

When Kritos first arrived in the Rewa city, he was taunted by many after they realized he wouldn't complain about them to the Clan Head of the Dwivedi clan.

Most of the clan members of the other clan make fun of his unruly language and his chunky body. As Kritos born and raised in a village, he talks in an unruly way, which was one of the proofs of an uneducated person.

And due to the inferiority complex after the awakening ceremony. Kritos merely counter-attack with words when someone insults him. He just thought he deserves it.

So, it becomes a routine to make fun of Kritos whenever they meet. Even after the change of his body.

"Pfft! Let me tell you again, princess. Sanju will never marry a girl like you. So, stop pestering him whenever you see him." Kritos fearlessly replied. 

'I'm not like my old self. Just wait, I will tell you one day from which metal this peasant is made of-.' Kritos thought

A surge of anger wrapped around Manvi's body when he heard the way Kritos replied back to her.

"Did you lose some screw after not meeting for a long time? Have you forgotten the slap? Don't dare to again talk to me like that, peasant."

Slap!

How can I forget the insult you had given that day.

Revenge never faded from my eyes. They are still searching for the correct time.

Kritos decided to ignore her, as he knows from here more troubles will arise. He began to move away from them.

"Where are you going, peasant? Till now, you don't apologize to our princess for your misbehavior." A boy beside Manvi fiercely said.

Kritos looked back at them; anger had already erupted from his mind after remembering his miserable days. He knows he can't fight them. But standing still here without doing anything is not an option now. 

"Aren't you guys crossing your limits? Remember, I'm alone here." Kritos said as he had no option.

A complicated expression appeared on their face. Doing anything inappropriate to Kritos will lead to a big trouble. Manvi doesn't want to create any trouble in front of his love. It will only create unnecessary distance between them.

In anger, Manvi silently replied, which she would regret in the future.

"Loser!"

"Like a mother, like a son. Both of them are bitch. A whor-"

SLAP!!!

An intense sound of slapping resonates in the air. All the clan members around Manvi looked at the miserable face of her. 

This happened in a flash, such that when Sanju and Martis looked back at them.

Manvi had already made a fierce stance to attack Kritos with a powerful blow in extreme rage.

Kritos knew it would happen after he slaps her. He was ready to defend himself from her qi waves before Sanju came to rescue him.

However, Kritos underestimated the power of the rank six apprentice warrior.

BOOM!!!

Manvi blows at Kritos stomach with her full power. Kritos tall body passes through the air and finally stops at 20 meters away from her.

Kritos mind stops working due to pain, and he loses his consciousness mid-air.
