CHAPTER THIRTY NINE
Kinaumagahan, alas nwebe na nang magising sina Gale at Kelly. Late narin kasi silang nakatulog kagabi, dahil dito, dali-daling bumangon si Kelly upang maligo dahil may exam sila sa araw na ito at ayaw nyang ma-late. Dahil 10AM ang kanilang schedule, binilisan nya ang pagpi-prepare dahil kakain pa sila mamaya. Sumabay nalang din si Gale sa kanya sa pagligo. At dahil nagmamadali si Kelly, wala na muna silang ibang ginawa sa shower kundi ang maligo. Pagkatapos nito ay mabilis din silang nagbihis at umalis ng Dormitory upang kumain sa labas.Si Gale narin ang nagbayad ng kanilang kinain dahil dala-dala nya naman palagi ang Black Card. Pagkatapos nito ay ihinatid na niya si Kelly sa building kung saan naroon ang kanilang Classroom.Dahil wala na syang ibang gagawin, naisipan niyang pumunta sa Redwood Forest. Gusto nyang alamin kung ang Red Wood Lake na tinutukoy ng mahiwagang aklat ay ang mini-lake na nasa gitna ng Redwood Forest. Kaya mabilCHAPTER FORTYHindi alam ni Gale kung ano ang gagawin nang naramdaman niyang gumapang na sa buong katawan niya ang lamig na nagmula sa kanyang t'yan. Dali-dali syang nagbihis baka sakaling uminit pa ang kanyang katawan, ngunit walang silbi iyon dahil nararamdaman nya parin ang lamig.Nang lumamig na ang buo nyang katawan, naramdaman nya na ang unti-unting pagbaba ng temperatura sa paligid. Dahil sa lamig na iyon pakiramdam nya ay nasa loob sya ng isang freezer. Nagsimula syang kabahan nang maramdamang tumitigas na ang ilang parte ng kayang katawan at mas lumakas pa ang kabog ng kanyang dibdib nang maramdaman na parang nagye-yelo na ang kanyang tyan dahil sa lamig.Kahit naninigas na ang kanyang mga kamay ay pinilit nya itong iginalaw upang damhin ang kanyang t'yan, at halos mawalan na sya nang malay dahil sa takot nang maikompermang nagye-yelo na nga ito. Ang yelo na iyon ay dahan-dahang gumapang sa kanyang buong katawan. Sinubukan nya itong basagin n
CHAPTER FORTY ONEBANG!BANG!BANG!Umalingawngaw sa buong Red Wood Forest ang sunod-sunod na mga putok ng baril. Habang si Gale naman ay kasing bilis ng Isang kidlat na tumakbo at humanap ng matataguan.Nang makapag-cover na sya sa isang malaking puno, agad nyang sinilip ang pinanggalingan ng mga putok ng baril. At napakunot ang kanyang noo nang makita at makilala ang dalawang lalaking nakasuot ng itim ang nakatayo sa maliit na daan palabas ng kakahuyan.Hindi sya makapaniwalang si Bran Davis at si Gin Lopez ang mga ito, inakala nyang isa ito sa mga taong galing sa Golden o Dark Circles na dati pang naghahanap sa kanya.May hawak na baril si Bran at nakatutok yun sa lugar kung saan sya nakatayo kanina. Bakit gusto syang patayin nito? Napatingin naman siya sa tuktok ng bulubundukin kung saan naka-pwesto ang dalawang lalaki kanina ay bumaril sa kanya. Naisip nyang baka mga kasama 'yon ni Bran.Kaya labis ang kanyang pagtataka kung bakit gusto sya nitong patayin? Alam na kaya nito na s
*CHAPTER FORTY TWO*"SO WHAT'S THE water armor?" Tanong ni Gale sa lalaking nakaupo parin sa lupa na kaharap nya.Matapos nakompirma na nagsasabi ito ng totoo ay hindi nya na pinakita rito ang kanyang killing intent. Kaya naman nakahinga na ito ng maluwang ngayon, subalit nandun parin sa mga mata nito ang takot."It's the instinctive manifestation of the Cultivator's Defensive Elemental powers when they are in danger. For us, it's called fire armor, earth armor for the cultivators from the Earth Faction and so on." Tugon naman ng lalaki. "But this ability will only activate when the cultivator is in a state where they can't do anything about the dangers coming into them. Just like what happened to you earlier. You were too pre-occupied that you have no enough time to dodge my attack. Thankfully your water armor activated in time." Dagdag pa nito."So it's the last defense of our body?" Tanong nya naman dito."Something like that." Tugon naman nito sabay tango."Anyways, are you workin
*CHAPTER FORTY THREE*In the far reaches of Santa Mesa City, nestled in the North, a colossal mountain stood tall and proud, casting an imposing shadow over the land. Much like the legendary Mount Serat and the Bronze Mountain Range in the east, this majestic peak boasted rugged summits that seemed to yearn for the heavens. Adorned in a vibrant tapestry of lush greens and earthy browns, it demanded the attention and reverence of all who beheld its awe-inspiring splendor.As the sun reached its zenith, its scorching rays bathed the mountain's craggy facade, illuminating every intricate detail etched into its weathered slopes. The dance of light and shadow across the rocky terrain created a captivating spectacle of contrasting hues, captivating the eyes of any beholder.At the mountain's base, a sprawling forest thrived, its emerald canopy serving as a sanctuary for a diverse array of flora and fauna. Nestled within this verdant embrace, was a small village lay hidden from prying eyes,
*CHAPTER FORTY FOUR*"Very well, I will tell everything I know about Grant." The Master said as his gaze shifted to a distant memory, his voice filled with a hint of nostalgia as he delved into the untold story of Grant Rushton, his long-lost companion. Seated upon his majestic throne, he seemed to transcend the present, lost in the depths of his recollections."Grant, my dear friend, hailed from distant lands unknown to us. Yet, even in our closest bond, he revealed little about his origins, shrouding himself in mystery," the Master began, his words weaving a tale of intrigue and wonder.As he continued, his eyes fixed upon the grand ceiling of the hall, as if transported to another realm, the Master's voice resonated with the weight of his memories."Curiosity was Grant's defining trait. It was evident that his previous surroundings lacked the wonders and marvels he encountered here, or perhaps he was forbidden from venturing beyond his confines. The truth eluded us all.""It was on
Hello My dear readers! I am writing this announcement part to inform you all that I will be making a major edit on the story line and plot of this story. I know that you have all read this far and had spend time and effort in doing so, so I want to apologize for what I would do. The reason why I am doing this edit has something to do with its face pace that I haven't focused on some important events that would make it more interesting. There were plotholes that I struggled to repair which explains the very long hiatus of this work. Rest assured that after this edit, there will be a daily update. What's in the New "Supreme Nature" Story? 1. The Mystery of what is the Supreme Nature Still Remains. 2. The Character's names, identities and skills still remained the same, but I will be adding some back stories for you to understand them. 3. It is still a cultivation themed story, but I made the MC, Gale, a little different. Yes, he can still cultivate his powers but in some ot
PROLOGUE"Head Master, a well known archeologist has found an ancient codex inside a tomb somewhere in the Mediterranean Region." A man donning in long red cloak said as he kneeled with only one knee on the floor, his left elbow was resting in his other knee while his right fist is touching the floor. He bowed his head low as a sign of deep respect towards the old man in front of him. His head was covered by the red hood of his cloak making his facial features unrecognizable. "The said ancient codex carried an unknown seal, but our scout identified that it belongs to the Giles." He added with looking at the man that he's talking to."The Giles?" Kaagad namang napaharap dito ang Head Master matapos marinig ang salitang 'Giles'. Kita sa kanyang nag-aalab na mga mata ang kakaibang emosyong nabuhay matapos marinig ang huling sinabi ng lalaki.Pananabik. Pananabik dahil sa nadiskobreng codex na maaaring konektado sa matagal nang naglahong tribo ng mga Giles? O pananabik dahil sa may kaakiba
*CHAPTER ONE*"Gale, kunin mo sa labas ng gate ang package delivery para sa akin." Pasigaw na sabi ni Danny sa akin sabay kuha ng perang papel sa bulsa nya at ibinato sa akin. "Sayo na ang sukli, kung meron." Dagdag nya pa sabay hubad ng hooded jacket nya. Naglalaro sila ng basketball dito sa court ng dormitory namin."Tingnan mo muna baka sira o baka kulang, kundi ikaw ang magbabayad." Pahabol na sabi niya sabay shoot ng bola na kakasalo nya palang."Kunin mo narin yung tubig na pina-refill ko dun sa labas ng gate, bayad na yun." Sabi naman ni Jeric sabay bato ng bente pesos na perang papel sa akin."Sobra naman yata kayo. Bakit ba si Gale nalang ang palagi nyong pinag-uutusan?" Isang magandang babae na nakaupo sa bench ang nagtanong."Sanay na yan sa ganyang trabaho si Gale. Kung di namin yan inuutusan baka walang makain yan." Patawang tugon ni Jeric sa babae."Hindi mo ba alam ang kasabihan na 'When money talks, Gale will dance'? Which means kahit na anong iutos mo dyan kay Gale, b

CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHTPumasok ang taxi na sinakyan ni Gale sa Campus ng Lexington Academy, hinarang sila ng mga security guard sa Main Gate ngunit pinapasok din naman agad sila nang iniwan ng Taxi Driver ang kanyang ID. Hindi kasi nadala ni Gale yung school ID nya kasi biglaan yung pag-alis nya noon.Pagkapasok nila sa Campus ay pina-diretso nya na sa Men's Dormitory ang taxi, at maya-maya lang ay huminto na sila sa Ordinary Men's Dormitory.Kinabahan pa si Gale nung siningil na sya ng Taxi Driver ng pamasahe nya kasi wala syang dalang pera. Buti nalang at medyo advance narin ang payment system ng mga taxi dahil pwede nang magbayad sa pamamagitan ng Card. Matapos ang successful payment ay bumaba na si Gale dala ang isang malaking Paper bag kung saan naroon ang limang boxes ng mga sapatos na binili nya.Unlike the other Dormitories, walang guard dito sa Ordinary Men's Dormitory, kaya nakapasok dito si Gale kahit na parang hindi na sya estudyante ng Academy.Pagpasok nya ay sa kanilang r
CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN"Hello, Dad?! C-can you lend me a fifteen Million? May bibilhin sana ako. Don't worry, Dad. I'll pay it back as soon as possible." Sabi ni Steven sa kanyang ama sa kabilang linya nang sagutin nito ang tawag niya."What?!" Gulat na gulat namang tugon nito nang marinig ang sinabi nya. "Where would I get that kind of money?! At anong bibilhin mo nyan?" Mataas ang boses na tanong."It's a.. It's complicated, Dad. Can you please do it now, Dad? I'll just explain it to you later." Nauutal na tugon niya matapos marinig na galit ang kanyang ama."Did you messed up again? Saan mo gagamitin yang fifteen Million? You can't just ask me for a money and say that you'll explain later. It's a fucking fifteen Million, Steven! I don't even have that amount in my bank account now!" Galit na galit na sabi nito sa kabilang linya.Dahil sa narinig, mas lalong pinagpapawisan si Steven at tuluyan nang nanginginig ang kanyang mga kamay at tuhod. Siguro kung walang mga tao sa paligid kanin
