Chapter 671 - Ajax's Decision
"You, you and you,"
The guild master pointed his finger at three members leaving behind Ajax and asked, "You want to become my personal disciples?"
He looked at three young participants and asked them just like other cultivators.
Even though the vagrant cultivators know the answer to that question already, they still asked it for a formality.
'Phew...finally, I became the personal disciple of the vagrant cultivator...wait a second..it's the leader of the vagrant cultivator'
As soon as he saw that the guild master was pointing his fingers at him, Heavenly raven heaved a sigh of relief and at the same time, he thought he was luckier than his brothers and sisters.
They were able to become the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivator; however, he became the personal disciple of the leader of the vagrant cultivators. So, of course, he was very happy.
While maintaining the same smile on his face, Heavenly Raven walked forward and with a bow, he said, "I am willing to become your personal disciple, guild master."
Compared to others, Heavenly raven acted more respectful as he bowed to his master.
"Master,"
As for Justice and Paulin, they directly bowed to the guild master and called him 'Master' before walking towards him and stood behind the guild master.
Finally, all the young participants were selected except for Ajax who was not worried even a tiny bit as he already had something in his mind.
"So, Ajax, it's finally...you,"
After all the other participants were chosen, the guild master looked at Ajax as he continued, "You can pick any vagrant cultivator as your master."
There were many reasons why Ajax was given such a good opportunity when compared to other participants.
One, his cultivation talent was very good that he became an elite commander realm cultivator within a few months.
Two, his essence of nature is pure along with his spirit consciousness' capacity.
Three, from the trials, he showed talents in herb picking using herbs' knowledge which was the first step in the alchemy, forging and soul related trial.
So, of course, the guild master had given him a chance to pick anyone Ajax wants as his master.
All old and young cultivators were looking at Ajax waiting for his reply.
The young cultivators were wondering which vagrant cultivator Ajax would choose whereas each one of the vagrant cultivators was hoping Ajax would choose them.
"Guild master, I can't choose a master?"
Ajax looked at all the vagrant cultivators for a moment and mustered his courage before saying those words.
'What?'
Everyone in that secret realm except for Justice and Darbaudr was shocked by Ajax's words as they didn't expect Ajax to say that.
'Why is he wasting such a golden opportunity?'
'There must be a reason for that,'
'There should be; otherwise, I will….,'
'What will you do? With his official elemental spirit, he can nicely play with you...Haha'
'You...'
.
.
….
Ajax's words raised a huge commotion from the young cultivators as they started wondering about the reason behind Ajax's words.
'What a pity?'
'Such a talented young cultivator wasting his talent by not picking a good master,'
'It will be very difficult for him to break through the shackles of the elite general realm without our guidance and he would likely do the same mistake as we did,'
'We can still guide him. It is not compulsory that he should be our personal disciple to teach him something,'
.
.
..
Soon, the vagrant cultivators shook their heads feeling that they have to guide him even if he didn't become their disciple.
'Sigh...looks like all my herbs and monster peach are gone for nothing,'
Among all the vagrant cultivators, Elder Ramon was the most depressed one because in his view, he had spent too much.
"Hmm"
Soon, the guild master looked at Ajax as he nodded his head and continued saying, "It is your wish to select a master or not. We can't force you to pick one of us as your master."
His words contained no emotion as he replied to Ajax's earlier words.
Moreover, he didn't even ask the reason why Ajax didn't want a master.
'Every individual has their own reasons and motives,'
This was the thought in the guild master's head when he said those words to Ajax.
"Guild master….I already have a master. So, I can't choose another master without his permission,"
However, Ajax directly said the reason why he didn't choose a master from the vagrant cultivators.
'What?'
'You already have a master?'
Except for the guild master, everyone including the young cultivators, Edmond and others were shocked by Ajax's words as they didn't expect Ajax to already had a master.
"Just like I expected,"
Unlike them, the guild master nodded his head as though he knew that from the beginning.
The five vagrant cultivators mostly lived in their own secret realm and very rarely enter the Zrochester province. So, they didn't know much about Ajax compared to the guild master.
As for why the guild master was able to guess that Ajax already had a master because it was almost impossible for someone to become an elite commander realm cultivator from a mortal within a few months.
So, after hearing his words, the guild master nodded his head.
'But, how is that master? Did I meet him before?'
However, Ajax' words gave birth to even more new questions as he looked at Ajax waiting for him to say about it.
"That's right! I already have a master," Ajax repeated the words with a serious look on his face as he continued, "Guild master, didn't you ask me how I was able to increase my cultivation within such a short span? And the answer is 'because of my master'."
"Hmm"
The guild master continued to nod his head.
As for Ajax, he didn't bother with the shocked expressions on the cultivators' faces and continued, "You can ask me when and where I meet my master. My master teaches me in my dreams and sometimes even gifts me some nice items."
When he said that he looked at Edmond and Levi which reminded them about the monster peach that Ajax gave him in the past.
"What? Teaching cultivation in dreams?"
"What kind of concept is that?"
"Even, we are not capable of doing that, right?"
"I wonder what level his master was to be capable of communicating through dreams,"
All the vagrant cultivators were shocked by Ajax's words once again because they were already thinking that they were already very powerful in the Zrochester province; however, Ajax's master seems to be even more powerful than them or even more powerful than anyone in the Zrochester province.
They didn't doubt Ajax's words even a tiny bit because after seeing Darbaudr whose spirit consciousness was sealed and made into a servant for Ajax.
Only a king realm cultivator could do it.
'Holy heavens. So, Ajax already had a master,'
'No wonder, his battle prowess is more powerful even when our cultivation level is much higher than him,'
'A master who can teach in dreams..isn't that a little too much?'
'Idiot...when a cultivator reaches very high realm, then he could do even more impossible things that we don't even dare to imagine,'
Even the young cultivators were shocked by Ajaxs' words as they looked at Ajax in a new light.
