New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 654: Reason behind the excited smiles

Who will not have fear when it comes to their soul. So, of course, Dark flame cursed at his bad luck.

”Ready?”

Elder Elek nodded his head as he asked the short Dark flame whether he was ready or not.

ʼStay stillʼ

Before Dark flame could even reply to him, he placed his hand on Dark flameʼs head.

All the young cultivators were looking at Dark flame to notice any changes in him.

ʼAarghʼ

However, it didnʼt take much longer for Dark flame to groan in pain.

ʼ5 seconds, nextʼ

Elder Elek stopped the moment Dark flame groaned in pain and announced the result of the trial before asking for the next participant.

ʼAh..ahʼ

Dark flame was completely covered in sweat; however, he was still able to walk back to his place while gasping for air.

There was something that puzzled all the young cultivators when they looked at Dark flame and that was an exciting smile was plastered on Dark flameʼs face.

Next, King killer, with his usual arrogant look hurriedly moved forward to be the next participant because Elder Elek didnʼt bother to pick anymore.

So, after seeing the excited smile on Dark flameʼs face, he guessed that there were some benefits to endure the pressure on his soul.

”I am ready, Elder Elek,”

King killer revealed a smile as his arrogant look had completely disappeared by the time he reached Elder Elek.

”Good”

Elder Elek nodded his head as he repeated the process ofo placing his hand on the participantʼs head.

ʼAarghʼ

Just like Dark flame, King killer also groaned in pain before revealing an excited smile on his face that made all the young cultivators puzzle and their fear towards the trial had completely vanished.

Soon, one after another young cultivators went to Elder Elek and returned with an excited smile on their faces.

...

As Elder Elek was conducting his trial, the three vagrant cultivators, Ramon, Esmund and Seward were having a serious discussion among themselves.

ʼAre we not going to bother about what that brat had baited the moon rabbit with?ʼ

Ramon looked at Ajax and said to the other two vagrant cultivators.

In this discussion, only three of them were participating as for the guild master and Sandra, they didnʼt bother about it.

ʼI think, Sandra knows about it; however, she is not telling us,ʼ

ʼMaybe, she is planning to take Ajax as her disciple,ʼ

ʼThat must be right; otherwise, how can she be this calm even after her contracted spirit beast was deceived by a young brat?ʼ

ʼSo, what are you planning?ʼ

They discussed what Ajax used to bait the moon rabbit and in the end, they came to the conclusion that Sandra was going to take Ajax as her disciple. So, Esmund and Seward asked Ramon regarding what he was planning.

ʼI am thinking of accepting Ajax as my disciple at any cost to find out about it. Moreover, he is good enough to be my disciple,ʼ

Ramon looked at Ajax before replying to the other two vagrant cultivators.

ʼ...ʼ

Esmund and Seward were speechless at Ramonʼs words as they shook their head at Ramonʼs shamelessness.

ʼYou are indirectly asking us to support you, right?ʼ

Seward asked Ramon with a scoff.

ʼYes...as long as he becomes my disciple, you can pick any one item from my eternal garden,ʼ

Ramon revealed a slight smile on his face as he gave a good offer to the two other vagrant cultivators that was impossible to resist.

ʼAre you for real?ʼ

ʼJust for a disciple, you are going to give two items?ʼ

Esmund and Seward were shocked by Ramonʼs words as they asked him.

ʼSure. As long as I know what that brat used to bait the moon rabbit, it is all worth it. If I can get my hands on it, I can tame that thing which sleeping for many years now,ʼ

Ramon looked at the distant mountain as he replied to the two other cultivators.

ʼOkay then. We will fully support you,ʼ

ʼThatʼs right! Since you are very good at bribing, we will definitely support you,ʼ

Esmund and Seward nodded their heads before focusing on the trial.

To be more accurate, they focused on Ajax to see who much longer he would endure Elekʼs pressure.

….

ʼThose three must be planning something behind your back,ʼ

Just as Ramon, Esmund and Seward finished their discussion and came to one conclusion, the leader of the six vagrant cultivators, the guild master Rae silently transmitted his voice to Sandra which contained a hint of a smile.

ʼThose three idiots will never change...just let them do whatever they want to do,ʼ

Sandra shook her head as she replied to the guild master.

ʼI am hoping that this is going to be funny...haha,ʼ

The guild master also nodded his head as he started laughing in his heart thinking about what the future would bring.

…...

At the other side, the Elder Elek was placing his hands on the young cultivators with a nonchalant expression.

ʼ6 secondsʼ

ʼ4 secondsʼ

ʼ8 seconds,ʼ

.

.

.

….

The trial continued without any disturbance and finally, it was Ajaxʼs turn as he was the last one remaining in the trial.

ʼShould I groan in pain after 5 seconds?ʼ

From the beginning, Ajax observed each and everyoneʼs performance. In that, almost everyoneʼs time limit was around 5. So, he thought about whether he should give up after 5 seconds or not.

Among all the young cultivators, Leviʼs record was 10 seconds which was the highest followed by Paulin and the remaining spots were taken by Justice, Silver Goliath, Fearless Gorilla and others.

However, no one was depressed after the trial as though they received some kind of benefit after completing their turn in the trial.

ʼI hope it should be something great, right? Even Senior brother Levi also seems to be happy,ʼ

With a head full of thoughts, he finally reached Elder Elek and said, ”I am ready, Elder Elek.”

Elder Elek didnʼt say anything as he placed his hand on Ajaxʼs head.

All of a sudden, Ajax felt like his spirit consciousness was increasing along with slight pain in his head.

ʼDing,

Spirit consciousness capacity +50

ʼDing,

Spirit consciousness capacity +40

ʼDing,

Spirit consciousness capacity +30

.

.

.

ʼDing,

Spirit consciousness capacity +10

ʼDing,

Spirit consciousness capacity +1

At the same time, the system notifications continuously rang in his head that gave him a pleasant surprise.

ʼWhat the...ʼ

Ajax was shocked by the increment of his spirit consciousness and shocked to the core.

ʼWait a second...damn it...five seconds must be over,ʼ

All of a sudden. Ajax recalled something and intentionally groaned in pain as he fell to the ground.

ʼ8 seconds, Good,ʼ

Elder Elek nonchalantly announced the result before going back to the other vagrant cultivators and discussed something.

As for Ajax, he was completely covered in sweat just like other young cultivators; however, it was not because of the pressure on his spirit consciousness; instead, it was because he feared that he created a record higher than senior brother Levi.

Nevertheless, he was supported by other young cultivators to stand up from the ground.

”Everyone, come here and stand in a row,”

Soon, Elder Ramon came forward as he asked every young cultivator to properly stand in front of him.
