Supreme Human System

Chapter 123: Ability and Skill

When Kritos opened his eyes he noticed that today there was the wind blowing at high speed and above him, there is a scorching sun that will make anybody's skin burn but because of the Blue Crescent Moon physique, he feels the recreation across his body. 

Kritos looked at himself and thought, "It seems I must control this power, or I will not be able to use it efficiently well."

Yesterday, he found the power in his eyes due to the breaking through to Level 1 Blue Crescent Moon physique. The abnormality in his eyes which he had never found previously suddenly started working in this extreme environment.

Its effect was pretty simple but effective. At night he can store moon energy in his eyes and can reinforce his entire body. For example, it can be used when his body is exhausted, or there are extreme temperatures. 

All in one, it would maintain his physical body and give extra energy to it.

After that, he started walking toward the big Mountain.

The main city of Cloud Region, Bakiya is not much far away from this Mountain Range, but because of the lack of a correct path to reach there, he could only amble in the east direction.

Thereupon, he now has to cross the big Mountain that was in his path.

Currently, Kritos is sitting cross-legged and being covered by some thin blue layer.

"I must say this body cultivation technique is really amazing not only, it can strengthen my physical body, but also provide ability in each breakthrough in Cultivation Technique. After cultivating to the extreme, I will have 10 hidden body abilities."

This new ability doesn't have any name and it was also not listed in his Status Screen. It was some kind of hidden ability, more accurately it is part of Kritos's body. Just like how the tail is a part of the monkey's body.

Additionally, the low rank skilled, Kritos learned by himself was also listed in his status screen.

Maybe in System sights, they are trash and couldn't be considered as a skill that can be listed in the Status screen.

Each skill, or talent created by the System has an upgrade function. They have the potential to reach SSS Rank. So, it was normal that System doesn't see his trained movement and punching skill as a true skill.

However, there are some exceptions like Blue Crescent Moon Physique and Qi Breathing Techniques.

Nonetheless, they also couldn't be upgraded.

Wait

After the System update, there was '+' beside the Qi Breathing name.

Still, after many experiments with the Status Screen, he couldn't change anything on it. '+' maybe just for style. 

Later upon asking System, Kritos understands the reason why it can not currently upgrade.

The system is presently collecting further data for this ordinary Technique. According to the System, the foundation of Qi Breathing Soul Techniques is excellent. Hence, it needs some time to create its upgraded version.

Eventually, Kritos gets up and keeps going towards his destination. While Sleeping, he always prays that his family will be safe.

His cultivation already solidified at the early stage of Rank 9 Apprentice Realm.

Kritos estimated that it would take a month to break through to Foundation Realm with the Qi breathing technique. If he has only a high grade technique, then just 10 days would be enough to break through.

...

"Aarrrrgh...how come I can't find a single source of water, I searched for one hour and found nothing".

While he was crossing the big Mountain, he decided to search for the water. Not only he didn't find a single drop of water, but he also didn't see any Rank one Monster which he could hunt.

Two days already passed when he fought with the Spider Monster and ate its meat. Afterward, he killed some monsters on the 2nd day and used Divine Extraction on them.

However, he found that he can only activate Divine Extraction one time every day.

This means Kritos have to be careful before using the Divine Extraction, or the quota for that day will be lost.

Some weak monster species can have the same racial trait that he previously obtained. Still, with his Greater Inspection ability, he could easily detect it.

As he was thinking, all of a sudden the earth trembled, and suddenly a big thing came out from under the sand and a giant mouth tried to swallow him in one go.

"Food as well as SP! As well as ability. All in one" Kritos excitedly avoided it.

The monster got out of the earth hole, it was a giant scorpion with three giant worm heads and giant mouths that can swallow anybody in one gulp, it shows how terrifying this existence is, and with his long tail and acid poison gushing out of the stinger and 2 giant claws, it was so dangerous that any person will get slashed 1000 times.

"Are all monsters that live here poisonous and ugly?"

Kritos was not much worried about their poison. He found that his poison immunity due to the Blue Crescent Moon Physique is enough to counter their poison. 

Kritos immediately begins rapidly shooting the fireballs from both hands. Yesterday, he had already fought with the same species of a monster like this. It was awfully afraid of fire. So, he chooses to use the same trick, he used last time.

[ Host obtain 8 SP by successfully killing Peak Rank One Hazardous two mouth Scorpio]

In just 10 minutes, Kritos have killed this giant Hazardous two-mouth Scorpio. 

Without wasting any time, Kritos initiated his innate trait, Divine Extraction.

[Divine Extraction Failed!]

[Divine Extraction can't be used two times to the same species!]

"Sigh I wanted to obtain its passive trait,' Strong Smell'," Kritos unhappily murmurs.

Kritos already chose one ability yesterday from the same species monster.

The ability is called,' Lesser innate sneakiness.

With Lesser innate sneakiness ability, this type of Monsters can slowly reach their prey.

Lesser innate sneakiness can compare to the high Rank Skill called, 'Stealth,"

Nonetheless, Skill is a skill and ability is ability.

Ability is something that changes or modifies the body of the person( Author note: DNA), whereas skill is something that is displayed after learning, understanding, and training it.

Both of them have some advantages over others, like Skill, could easily be modified/ Altar whereas it was hard to do with the ability. They are fixed, and only by becoming stronger, can they evolve. Besides, the process is too slow.

However, these advantages and disadvantages don't affect Kritos. With the help of the System, both the ability and skill are the Same in Kritos same. 

It was just, he may learn a skill by just frequently observing other parties. However, this is not the case of ability.

"At the top of Mountain, I can see the right path for Bakiya City," Kritos mumbled.

Traveling the vast mountain range with the only foot was extremely tiring work. 

'If only I could fly,' Kritos thought to himself and Sigh.

Every cultivator in the Sincromas world wished to fly across the sky and explore many unknown lands, but it can be possible after reaching the Chakra Soul Realm, or Mystic Mage Realm.

After extracting the crystal from the monster body and storing it at the Storage Function, Kritos again begins to walk.
