Chapter 1218 - Second Inheritance Sword

Previously the skill 'Emergency ghost' was at level 1 skill and after getting killed, he would be unable to use any of his skills or battle techniques in the fight for the next 24 hours.

However, after it upgraded to level 2, the effect also got upgraded, making his battle prowess double after getting killed.

Nevertheless, the side effect of the skill was also upgraded from 24 hours to a minimum of three days.

"Since I promised to give you an additional gift if you defeat all four guardian spirit beasts, I will keep it."

As Ajax was keeping satisfied with level 2 'Emergency ghost' skill, he saw the old man take out a sword that looked just like his inheritance sword.

However, compared to his inheritance sword, the one in the old man's hands looked less majestic than his own.

"One of the participants of the bloodline training grounds left behind this sword before he was recruited. While you used your sword, this one kept resonating as though it wanted to rush towards you."

The old man continued speaking, "I think this will be useful for you and your sword dao."

After finishing his words, he gave that sword to Ajax, who took it with a hopeful look in his eyes.

'Appraise'

The moment he took the sword into his hands, Ajax checked the information on it.

'Ding,

Weapon Name:- Inheritance sword (Second)

Grade:- High-level heaven grade.

Information:- One of the three swords left behind by a powerful sword cultivator. When the three swords are merged into a single sword it will become a high-level legend grade sword.

'This is really one of the inheritance swords.'

Ajax already knew that there were three swords and he had to collect them all to gain the full inheritance of that sword cultivator.

'Ding,

It is detected that the host has the first inheritance sword. Do you want to merge them?

While Ajax was still feeling happy over finding the second inheritance sword without any trouble, he received a system notification and without any hesitation, he agreed to it.

'Swoosh'

As soon as he agreed, the first inheritance sword in his inventory came out and floated in front of him along with the second inheritance sword which also flew out of his hands and floated in front of him.

'Ding,

Merging the first inheritance sword and the second inheritance sword will take five days according to the purple stone world' time.

'Ding,

During the merging time, the host can store them in his spirit consciousness.

In the next second, he received two more system notifications, making him a little surprised; however, it only made Ajax even more excited.

Because he felt that with five days of merging time, the combined sword would be more powerful and he was looking forward to it.

"Thank you for the gift, Elder."

Ajax respectfully bowed to the old man after the two inheritance swords disappeared into his spirit consciousness.

"It is what I promised to give you."

The old man shook his head with a slight smile on his face and asked, "Young man, I want to take you as my personal disciple. Are you interested?"

The old man didn't beat around the bush and directly came to the main point, making Ajax surprised.

"Huh?"

Ajax looked at the old man and tried to figure out what the old man's intentions were; however, he was clueless about it.

"Even if you already have a master in the purple stone world, I don't mind becoming your second master. With your talent, you will become more powerful; however, it will not be an easy thing for you to do on your own."

"I will help you with cultivation resources, increase your bloodline power, and share my knowledge regarding the greater worlds out there."

The old man informed Ajax about all the benefits he would get by becoming the old man's personal disciple.

'Th..this..'

Ajax hesitated a little to give an answer because he was worried about the true intentions of the old man.

Even though he would get a lot of benefits by becoming the old man's personal disciple, Ajax didn't want to become the personal disciple of someone who he barely knew anything about.

"I know you don't know anything about me; however, my end is coming and I might barely live for a couple of decades or so. Before I pass away, I want to be a disciple to continue my legacy."

The old man never took a disciple in his life and since he was about to die, he even took a gamble to leave the organization which he helped it reach its current position, just because he felt Ajax was a cultivator whom he was searching to take as his personal disciple.

"..."

Hearing the old man's words, Ajax remained silent as he didn't know what he had to do.

He was unable to figure out whether the old man was telling the truth or just fooling him by using the sympathy card.

Nevertheless, Ajax was tempted to agree to the old man's request.

"Sigh…fine. If you don't want to become my personal disciple, just forget that I asked you to become my personal disciple."

The old man shook his head and he gave up on saying any more words to Ajax.

"No…that's not it."

Ajax hurriedly replied to the old man and continued saying, "Can you give me some time to think about it?"

"Sure"

The old man revealed a slight smile on his face when he felt there was still hope for him.

Earlier, when he saw that Ajax was not showing any signs of becoming his personal disciple, he felt like he was not fated to become Ajax's master.

'Young Ajax, what are you waiting for? Just accept him as your master and take advantage of the situation to get all his resources.'

Just as Ajax asked for that permission to think about it, the old voice in his head that was supposed to be in a deep slumber shouted at Ajax.
