Chapter 1288 - Ajax's View On Struggling Participants

'System, I can retrieve the world core from the core realm of a world even if I am very far away from that world?'

Ajax never thought that it was possible because there must be millions of kilometers of distance between that conquered world and the Purple stone world.

So, he asked the system about it in a curious tone.

'Ding,

It is possible for the host to open a portal to the world conquered by the host's elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts.

Soon, the system replied without any delay, making Ajax could not help but become anxious to test how the process works.

Actually, Ajax had a plan of going through one after another world that his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beasts have conquered before retrieving the world cores from the worlds.

However, the ability to retrieve the world cores even from such far distances, made Ajax convenient in collecting more world cores.

'Should I go back to the quarters and try out this new ability to open portals to the conquered worlds?'

Ajax looked at the participants in the distance and silently thought in his head as he decided what he had to do now.

'Since I don't have to participate in the contest until the third round, which will only start tomorrow, there is no need for me to waste my time here, right?'

This was the thought in Ajax's head as he decided to leave for the resting quarters as it would be the only place where no one's present.

"Ajax?"

Just as he was thinking of leaving the colosseum to go back to the resting quarters, Paulin woke him up from his thoughts.

'Oh. Right! Brother Paulin asked a question.'

Soon, Ajax remembered that Paulin had asked a question.

Even though Paulin knew Ajax's words were harsh about the young participants, he didn't come to a conclusion so soon as he asked Ajax to explain why he thought they were foolish.

"Actually, I am impressed by their determination to stand against the cultivation pressure of that old man; however, I don't think it is worth it."

Ajax shared his thoughts to Paulin about the participants as he continued, "I know you didn't understand. Let me be more clear on this."

He knew that it would not take much time to explain to Paulin his thoughts before going back to the resting quarters.

As for Paulin, he continued to listen to Ajax's words while looking at the participants in front of the huge stage.

"Just think about it, brother Paulin. Let's say they will pass the first round and what will they gain by surviving the first round with so much difficulty? Nothing, right? They have to go through the second round and who knows how difficult it would be when the first round was already so difficult for them?"

Ajax didn't stop his explanation just yet as he continued, "But, if they continue to grit their teeth and experience the powerful pressure of a King realm cultivator, their spirit consciousness will start cracking and the chances of damage are very high."

"Even by chance, they went through the first two rounds by risking so much, I highly doubt more than 100 of these ninety thousand young participants will stand a chance against the weakest summoner participant."

"So, after thinking about this, I feel those who were pushing themselves very hard just under this pressure, it was better for them to give up and train harder, rather than risking their cultivation which is the most valuable thing for a cultivator compared to his life."

After saying that, Ajax directly stood up from his seat as he informed Paulin and others, "I will go and take some rest for tomorrow's rounds."

"Okay."

Everyone knew how powerful Ajax was even with just a level 2 elite general realm cultivation and they also knew that because of his powerful master, Ajax must have seen even more interesting fights compared to the current one. 

So, of course, they were not surprised that Ajax wanted to leave the colosseum.

'His thoughts are also unique. No wonder, he was selected by a powerful disciple.'

How could someone without any special talent become the personal disciple of a powerful master?

This was the conclusion that Paulin came to after hearing Ajax's thoughts which he nearly mistakenly thought that Ajax was looking down on the young participants that were struggling to withstand the pressure of a king realm cultivator.

'Nevermind, Justice, Lewis and others were having no trouble because of the training we had gone through recently. I am sure that they will not have any problem in passing through the first two rounds without any problem.'

Soon, Paulin stopped thinking about other participants and only focused on his friends and after seeing how calm they were, Paulin could not help but think about their training in the various secret realms.

Other than Paulin's friends, there was no one who was able to maintain their standing against the king realm's cultivation pressure. Even the participants from the top sects and the great families of the Zrochester province were shaking and barely standing under the pressure.

…..

'Sigh…looks like the contest this time is very tough compared to before.'

'Looks like it.'

'I pity the participants from the Zrochester province as it would be their first time seeing the king realm cultivator, much less experiencing their cultivation pressure. They will be eliminated in the first two rounds for sure.'

'Yes. There is no doubt about it; however, I saw there were more than 20 young summoners from the Zrochester province that were participating in the contest.'

'Isn't it a little bit too much?'

A group of old cultivators from the Ylercester province and the Xacaster province was looking at the participants from the Zrochester province and looked at them with faces full of pity.

That's not it. They were shocked to see nearly 25 young summoners from the Zrochester province.

"A little bit too much?"
