New Age Of Summoners

’The heat…it increased by at least ten times.’The moment he landed on the floating rock on the molten sea, Ajax felt the intensity of the heat increase by at least ten times.

However, maybe it was because of his Divine Flame Rule that had dozens of Divine Fire Skills, that Ajax only felt a slight burning sensation.

’Hm…there might be around 100 steps to reach the floating Sentient Flame and to gain its acknowledgment. I can do it.’

After roughly estimating the distance between him and the Sentient Flame, Ajax started moving towards the flame, using the intense heat to temper his body.

’Huh? It is not just the intensity of the flames but its will…the Sentient Flame’s will.’

Suddenly, Ajax felt that the Sentient Flame was using not just the intensity of the heat but also its will to pressure him.

’Is it because it sensed that its flames don’t have any effect on me?’

While walking forward, Ajax thought about this and could not help but smile.

Each step brought him closer to the Sentient Flame, but he could feel the heat intensifying, his body growing heavier under the pressure of its will. ’This is not just a treasure—it is a challenge.’

Ajax had no intention of backing down as he continued to walk forward.

”If you want to test me, then I’ll prove I’m worthy.”

The Sentient Flame, hovering in the center of the floating rock, pulsed with awareness.

Ajax could feel its gaze, a silent challenge burning through the waves of heat.

Ten steps away.

’Roar’

The molten sea roared beneath him, and the floating rock trembled as if resisting his advance. The closer he got, the stronger the flame’s resistance became. Each step felt like walking against a storm of pure fire essence.

Five steps away.

His skin had long since turned a deep crimson, his body drenched in sweat that evaporated the instant it formed.

Three steps.

’Swiish’

The Sentient Flame flared violently, sending out a shockwave of heat that could melt steel in an instant.

But Ajax didn’t retreat. Instead, he raised his hand, his palm open, allowing the flames to surge toward him.

’Aargh’

Soon, the flames covered him and the scorching pain suddenly skyrocketed for a moment, making Ajax groan painfully.

’Ding,Congratulations to the host for successfully completing your body tempering with a new Sentient Flame, the Specter Flame.

After that painful moment, Ajax received a system notification.

’I completed the body tempering just like that?’

The body tempering process that he had completed with the Sentient Flames in the past was longer and more tiring.

However, now, other than feeling a bit tired, the body tempering process was quick, making Ajax heave a sigh of relief.

It was because, once a cultivator completes his body tempering with a certain Sentient Flame, his resistance to the intense flames released by that particular Sentient Flame would be greatly increased.

’Now, I can continue to walk forward and pick it up much more easily than it originally was.’

While saying that, Ajax jumped from one floating rock to another, ignoring the intense flames released by the Sentient Flame named Specter Flame.

”I am done playing with you. It’s time to acknowledge me as your master.”

Within a few steps, Ajax had already reached the Sentient Flame that was hovering in the center of the molten sea.

’Swoosh’

Seeing that Ajax dared to touch it, the Sentient Flame became quite furious and released its full heat intensity.

’Aargh’

Ajax felt the scorching pain; however, he quickly reacted, ”I wanted to tame you without using the Divine Flame Rule; however, you’ve left me no other choice.”

[Divine Flame Rule - Divine Flames]

The moment Ajax activated his Divine Flame Rule, his body was covered with flames; however, they were the flames created by Ajax using his Divine Essence of Nature.

Although they didn’t have much attack power, Ajax felt that they were quite useful in suppressing the Wild Sentient Flames.

’In front of a Divine Entity, everything must submit.’

This was what Ajax thought as he increased the intensity of his Divine Flames to counter the intensity of the flames released by the Specter Flame.

The two intensities of flames pushed each other for a moment and , without surprise, Ajax’s Divine Flames ended up as the winner.

’Swiish’

The Specter Flame retracted all its flames and turned into a small ball of flame and hovered in front of Ajax.

”I admit defeat, Cultivator. I am willing to follow you from now on.”

The Specter Flame’s eerie voice resounded in Ajax’s ears.

”You acknowledge me as your Master? Great.”

Ajax was happy because he had successfully tamed a Wild Sentient Flame…his first Sentient Flame.

’Swiish’

As Ajax was celebrating the collection of his first Sentient Flame, the Specter Flame, with its ghastly, translucent skull , curled around Ajax a few times before entering his body.

’Ding,The Sentient Flame: Specter Fire wishes to form a contract with you. Do you want to contract it?

’Huh? A contract with a Sentient Flame?’

Ajax raised his eyebrows when he received the system notification and could not help but think, ’I don’t think the other Sentient Flames owned by those Sects and other powerhouses formed a contract with anyone.’

’Ding,Due to the host’s display of Divine Flames and your high-level affinity with the fire element, the Specter Fire decided to follow you.

’Ding,Hence, it wishes to form a contract with you.

The system explained and made Ajax a bit proud of his thinking because he had created the Divine Flames around his body to fight the Specter Fire.

Because of that, not only did it acknowledge him as its master, but it even went as far as asking for a contract.

Forming a contract with him meant that it had decided to live and die together with him.

’Since you want to form a contract with me, I don’t have any reason to reject you.’

With a smile, Ajax agreed to form a contract with it.
