Chapter 664: Black Osymx

Within no time, except for the four participants namely, Ajax, Dark flame, Silver goliath and Fearless gorilla, were tired after continuously hitting the metal block with the sealed hammer.

'Clang'

'Clank'

'Ugh'

'Clank'

'Clang'

After 10 minutes, both Silver goliath and Fearless gorilla stopped hitting the metal block as they fell to the ground and started gasping for breath.

'Look like, I need to stop here,'

From time to time, Ajax kept his eyes on the other three participants and the moment they fell down, Ajax stopped hitting the metal block before gasping for breath.

'I like the feeling of using my full strength with the hammer,'

Ajax looked at Dark flame and thought about his earlier feeling where he released his full power.

'I wonder, what material is that metal block is made up of with,'

Recalling his full power, Ajax wondered about the metal block on which there were only a couple of dents even after thousands of hits.

'Ding,

Item name:- Black osymx

Grade:- Mid-Heaven

Use:- It is used in the forging of heavy shields and secret lockers.

Description:- One of the strongest metal that could endure the full-powered punch from the elite general realm cultivator.

Ajax was impressed by the description of the metal and silently stored the name of that metal in his mind.

'I wonder, where did he find that metal?'

Ajax was almost sure that these metal chunks were not from the Zrochester province because there were not enough pure essence of nature in the province that was needed for the formation of these types of metals.

'Looks like I need to ask him. But I don't know how he will react,'

Ajax suppressed his curiosity for now and waited for the right time to ask his question.

'10000'

While Ajax was in his thoughts he heard a loud shout from the distance and hurriedly looked in that direction.

There, Dark flame was completely covered in sweat as he shouted at the heavens before falling unconscious.

'What? He hit the Black osymx with the unsealed hammer 10000 times?'

Ajax and other young cultivators were shocked at the unconscious Dark flame as they hurriedly came forward to check on it.

"Don't go near him. He is being enlightened by the heavens,"

Just as all the young cultivators took a couple of steps, they were stopped by some invisible force and in the next second, they heard Elder Esmund's word.

'Wow...he is being enlightened,'

'I wish I was that lucky too,'

'You can always dream on but you will not...Haha,'

Edmond's adopted children were very happy for Dark flame and after a while, they started joking about their fellow brothers and sisters.

"Ajax, are you okay?"

However, Snow storm came towards Ajax and asked him whether he was okay or not.

Ajax intentionally maintained a very tired look on his face which made Snow storm a little worried.

"I...I am okay,"

Looking at the worried look on her face, Ajax stuttered a little as he replied to her.

"Phew"

Snow Storm heaved a sigh of relief and unconsciously looked at her father, who was also looking at her.

'Okay. I need to go now,'

With an embarrassed look on her face, she hurriedly moved away from there and mingled with her brothers.

'Huh? What happened to her?'

Ajax looked at her with a puzzled look on his face before shaking his head.

"Everyone, let him leave there and come here,"

Elder Esmund walked away from Dark flame before asking all the participants to come along with him.

"Don't be sad,"

Elder Esmund noticed the sad looks on the young cultivators who were unable to remove the seal from the hammer and asked them not to be sad.

"Everyone has talent in different professions. So, you just have to find what is the right profession for you,"

"Coming to the trial, four participants have an affinity with forging; however, at the moment, I can only pick three of them as my personal disciples,"

Elder Esmund was not very excited when he said those words because he had to leave Ajax and had to pick the other three participants. 

'Why am I feeling sad? I got a person disciple who was being enlightened with forging,'

However, looking at Dark flame, Elder Esmund became excited as he continued, "The first three participants who removed the seal from the black hammers will directly become my personal disciples."

"If you two agree to become my personal disciples, then you can't participate in further trials,"

Elder Esmund didn't raise much suspicion when he intentionally left behind Ajax and asked Silver goliath and Fearless gorilla whether they would become his personal disciples or not.

"I agree,"

Both Silver Goliath and Fearless Gorilla replied to Elder Esmund at the same time without any hesitation.

"Good, you can go to your father and watch the remaining trials,"

Elder Esmund asked them to take a rest and all of a sudden he remembered, "By the way, don't think I didn't keep my promise about the reward for completing the trial."

'Huh?'

Silver goliath and Fearless gorilla were totally forgotten about the reward from the trial because they thought Dark flame would get the reward and moreover, becoming the personal disciple of the greatest forging master, the forger of essences, Esmund was the biggest reward in their life.

"All four participants can keep the black hammers in your hands for yourself. It is your reward for unsealing it,"

Elder Esmund revealed a generous look on his face before looking at Elder Ramon and said, "You can start the next trial."

After finishing his words, Elder Esmund left without bothering the young cultivators anymore.

However, his earlier words about the rewards to the winners of the trial made all the young cultivators surprised.

'What? He just gifted them heaven grade weapons?'

'As expected of the vagrant cultivators, they are very rich,'

'Another three become the personal disciples, let's give our best in the last two trials,'

Since there were 6 vagrant cultivators, they were expecting six trials.

So far, they have completed 4 trials and if they wanted to prove something, they only have two more trials.

Those two trials would be conducted by Elder Ramon and the guild master. So, they were looking for them.

"Everyone, it's finally my turn to conduct a trial,"

Elder Ramon came flying towards them and revealed an excited look on his face.

"Unlike other vagrant cultivators' trials, my trial is more like a bonus trial for you to get as many cultivation resources as possible. So, listen carefully and don't regret that you missed something with the trial,"

Elder Ramon didn't give them any time as he continued, "I will throw you, 11 participants, into a herb garden and how many herbs you can pick from the herb garden is on your capability."

'What?'

'The trial is in Elder Ramon's herb garden?'

'We can pick as many herbs as possible?'

When the young cultivators heard Elder Ramon's words, they were both shocked and excited and looked for the trial.

'Huh? Looks like the trial is not as easy as he said,'

However, Ajax, Levi and a few other cultivators felt a bad premonition in their hearts; however, they felt it's going to be a good trial.
