Chapter 656: Luckier than Ajax (2/2)

Finally, after hearing Edmond's words, Udo decided to stay back as he knew that the six vagrant cultivators would never harm a young cultivator.

'Aargh'

Lewis and Jeff continued to scream in pain while everyone from the older generation watched at them seriously.

As for the young cultivators, they didn't look at them and some of them even closed their ears.

Soon, the painful screams came to an end, as Jeff and Lewis both fell to the ground.

”Son”

As soon as Elder Elek stopped the process, Edmond and Udo rushed towards them.

Udo checked on Jeff whereas Edmond checked on Lewis and when they saw that both of them were breathing, they heaved a sigh of relief.

”You don't need to worry. Both of them are doing much greater than I thought,”

Elder Elek revealed a slight smile as he explained to them.

”Elder Elek, I have a small doubt. Can I ask it?”

Edmond and Udo were finally able to be fully relieved after hearing Elder Elek's words and Udo asked Elder Elek that he had some doubt.

”You can ask,”

Almost all the vagrant cultivators had a good impression on Edmond and Udo after hearing everything about them from their leader, the guild master.

So, he allowed Udo to ask his doubt.

”Elder Elek, don't think I am undermining your decision but can I want to know how my son and Lewis became the winners of the trial?”

Udo looked at Edmond for a second before asking Elder Elek about it.

It was the question that was in the minds of everyone present in the secret realm except for the six vagrant cultivators.

'Haha'

Hearing Udo's words, along with Elder Elek all the other vagrant cultivators started laughing before Elder Elek started explaining, ”The trial was not about who lasts long with my pressure or how much spirit consciousness they gained. It was about whether they know when to give up and when to not give up.”

After hearing Elder Elek's words, everyone got the revelation about the trial that made him shake their heads.

”And these two young cultivators didn't hesitate to back down at unnecessary trouble. According to me, the cultivators who know when to back down will definitely reach the greater heights,”

Elder Elek finally finished his explanation with a slight smile on his face.

”Thank you, very much Elder Elek,”

Udo and Edmond hurriedly thanked Elder Elek for explaining and giving such a good opportunity for Lewis and Jeff.

”Elder Elek, looks like they are in a deep sleep. What about the remaining trials?”

Soon, Edmond and Udo picked the unconscious young men from the ground and tried to take them to some resting' however, just as they took a couple of steps, Edmond halted in his tracks and turned back to ask a question.

”Haha...you don't need to worry about them anymore. Both of them have a good affinity with my soul cultivation technique. So, I will be taking them as my personal disciples,”

After finishing his words, Elder Elek went back to join the other vagrant cultivators.

'What?'

'Looks like they were luckier than Ajax,'

Edmond, Udo and the rest of the young cultivators were shocked by Elder Elek's words as they looked at the unconscious Lewis and Jeff with faces full of envy.

But the envy was nothing serious as they knew that they were going to become the personal disciples of the vagrant cultivators anyway.

'Should I wait some more time before falling to the ground? Or did I fall to the ground at the right time?'

As for Ajax, he was happy for Lewis and Jeff; however, his thoughts were on something else.

Currently, he was thinking about the time where he intentionally collapsed to the ground with Elder Elek's pressure on his soul and spirit consciousness.

'Uff….nevermind. In the end, all the system notifications informed me that I was getting only 1 unit of increment anyway. Moreover, I think, it would have not crossed 10000 units capacity of my spirit consciousness,'

Ajax stopped bothering about it as he waited for the next trial to start.
