New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 2174: Additional Reward

Unlike the first round, the participants who didn't enter the top ten in the second round were not disappointed much because there was a generous reward for them.

It was the reward for completing the Second Round.

According to the rules announced before the round began, as long as a participant successfully nurtured their new Elemental Spirit to the Elemental Spirit King Realm, they could convert their unofficial contract into an official contract and awaken a new official skill.

Unlike the first round, where a few unlucky participants had failed to collect enough Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals and were eliminated, no one had failed in the Second Round.

After all, everyone had managed to nurture their Elemental Spirits to at least the required level, and many had even reached the pinnacle of the Earth Realm.

Therefore, everyone was excited to see what kind of official skill their new Elemental Spirits would awaken.

For most participants, gaining another official Elemental Spirit meant gaining another powerful skill that could improve their overall battle prowess.

Even those who already possessed several powerful Elemental Spirits were looking forward to seeing what kind of skill they would receive.

At that moment, the Ancient Voice resounded once again.

[All participants who successfully completed the Second Round are eligible to convert their unofficial contracts into official contracts.]

[Once the conversion is complete, their respective Elemental Spirits will awaken a new official skill.]

Hearing this announcement, many participants could no longer hide their excitement.

'Finally!'

'I've been waiting for this moment!'

'With another official skill, my battle prowess will increase significantly.'

While everyone was eagerly anticipating their rewards, the Ancient Voice suddenly spoke again.

[Ajax, for completing the Second Round ahead of time, you will receive an additional reward.]

Hearing that announcement, all the participants were shocked.

'Huh? Additional reward?'

Even Ajax frowned, as he was not expecting to receive an additional reward.

Nevertheless, the Ancient Voice resounded throughout the Elemental Source Land once again.

[Please pick one of the following rewards.]

[1) Three Divine Pearls]

[2) Three Divine Elemental Potions]

[3) Three new Elemental Spirits (The unofficial contracts with these Elemental Spirits can be converted into official contracts when their cultivation reaches the pinnacle of the Earth Realm.)]

'Whoa... The rewards are generous.'

The options were displayed in front of everyone, and seeing them, the participants could not help but become envious of Ajax's rewards.

'If it were me, I would definitely choose the third option: the three Elemental Spirits.'

'Same. I would do the same.'

'Even though the Divine Pearls and the Divine Elemental Potions are good, having more official Elemental Spirits means more official skills.'

'More official skills means more power.'

.

.

.

Many participants believed that the third option was the best reward because it mentioned that the contracts could be converted into official ones in the future, which meant Ajax could obtain three more official skills.

'Idiots! I know what you are thinking.'

However, the heirs of the top powers and some intelligent participants shook their heads as they heard the participants' discussions.

'Even though having more official skills is good, having more Elemental Spirits is not always a good thing.'

"Having more Elemental Spirits means the Summoner has to spend more time helping them fully awaken their Elemental Ascendance."

"Most Summoners already have five or more official Elemental Spirits, and it is already troublesome to help all their Elemental Spirits fully awaken their Elemental Ascendance."

"Until they achieve that, they can forget about ascending to the Heavenly Realm."

"Moreover, at this level, having a few extra official skills is not that great, as those skills will become mostly useless upon ascension."

The heirs of the top powers explained their reasoning to the others, making some participants realize that their choices were wrong.

After all, every Summoner wanted to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, and fully awakening the Elemental Ascendance of their Elemental Spirits was one of the important requirements.

Having three additional Elemental Spirits would only increase their burden.

'The third reward is a bad choice.'

With such thoughts, many heirs believed the third reward was the worst option and began considering the other two.

'If I were in his position, I would choose the first option. Three Divine Pearls could turn three of my Elemental Spirits into Divine Elemental Spirits.'

When compared to obtaining three Divine Elemental Spirits, the increase in battle prowess from three additional official skills was nothing.

'Even Divine Pearls are a good choice if his Elemental Spirits have a low awakening percentage in their Elemental Ascendance.'

With that reasoning, many of the heirs ranked the rewards in the same order in which they were displayed, believing the first option was the best and the third was the worst.

Meanwhile, Ajax didn't hear those discussions, as he knew what reward he should pick.

'The second reward: Three Divine Elemental Potions are useless to me.'

Currently, all of Ajax's Elemental Spirits except for Protos have already evolved into Divine Elemental Spirits.

Also, he had just received a Divine Elemental Potion.

'If my guess is correct, as soon as I convert my unofficial contract with Protos into an official contract, Protos will evolve into a Divine Elemental Spirit.'

That's right!

The main effect of the Special Title: Elemental Spirit Master was to connect all his Elemental Spirits.

As long as one of the Elemental Spirits increased in cultivation, the other Elemental Spirits would also see progress in their cultivation.

It was also the reason why he casually gave away the Divine Elemental Potion to Nyra before she left the Elemental Source Land.

In short, for Ajax, the Divine Elemental Potion was personally the least valuable item.

'As for the Divine Pearls, they are even worse.'

Currently, Ajax had more than 1,000 Divine Pearls in his storage ring thanks to his non-stop hunting of the Elemental Beasts for the past 22 days.

As for the third option, it was the most valuable reward he could pick.

"I choose option three: Three Elemental Spirits."

Thus, Ajax didn't have to struggle with his decision when choosing his reward.
