New Age Of Summoners

Chapter 2182: Rewards for Top Three Participants

[The Third Round has officially ended now!]

[It's time for rewards and elimination!]

[Like in the second round, everyone has passed. Therefore, there will be no elimination!]

This time, upon hearing that everyone had passed the third round, the participants were somewhat disappointed.

After all, the rewards had become more generous with each passing round, and everyone hoped that the fewer participants there were, the better their standing in the universe would be after leaving the Elemental Source Land.

With fewer competitors, they would have a greater advantage when competing for resources and opportunities in the future.

Unfortunately, their hopes were once again shattered.

'Looks like the Mastermind is quite happy with the results of each round.'

As for Ajax, he could somewhat guess what the Mastermind was thinking.

For the Mastermind, the stronger the participants' Elemental Spirits became, the better it was for his plans.

After all, Ajax suspected that the Mastermind was planning to take all the participants' Elemental Spirits in the end by eliminating them from the Elemental Source Land.

If that was indeed his plan, allowing everyone to pass the rounds and grow stronger would naturally benefit him.

Thus, the more participants stayed, the better it would be for him to take their Elemental Spirits later on.

'Still, I don't think he's an all-powerful existence.'

Ajax had been thinking about this ever since he entered the Elemental Source Land.

If the Mastermind were truly all-powerful, why would he resort to such lengthy methods to tempt the participants in each round with such generous rewards?

Moreover, the participants were given an opportunity to leave the Elemental Source Land after every round.

There had to be some limitations preventing the Mastermind from simply doing whatever he wanted, and Ajax wanted to use those limitations to his advantage.

'Let's see what he does next.'

Ajax silently waited for the Ancient Voice to announce the rewards.

[The reward for passing this round, as I mentioned before, is a Divine Elemental Potion.]

[I hope you use it at the right time to make good use of it!]

'Swoosh!'

As soon as the Ancient Voice finished speaking, a Divine Elemental Potion appeared before every participant.

The participants hurriedly collected the potions and stored them in their storage rings, their faces filled with excitement.

After all, it was a Divine-grade resource that would help them become top powerhouses in the universe!

Even though they didn't know its exact effects yet, the fact that it was awarded for passing the third round suggested that it would be useful in their future training.

'If my guess is correct, he wants all the participants to possess Divine Elemental Spirits before the next round.'

Ajax silently thought to himself as he recalled the Ancient Voice's final words.

'That's why he added that line, indirectly encouraging everyone to use the Divine Elemental Potions to evolve their Elemental Spirits into Divine Elemental Spirits.'

After all, the rewards seemed to be carefully arranged to encourage the participants to make their Elemental Spirits stronger with each passing round.

'Forget it. Let's pass a few more rounds and see what he can do about it.'

Ajax wasn't particularly worried.

As long as he continued growing stronger and didn't reveal too much of his strength, he believed he could deal with whatever schemes the Mastermind had prepared.

Soon, the Ancient Voice resounded once again, announcing more rewards.

[The top ten participants in the third round will receive Divine Pearls!]

'Swoosh!'

Ten participants immediately received their rewards.

Unlike the Divine Elemental Potions, these Divine Pearls were not particularly surprising to Ajax. He had already obtained many of them while hunting Elemental Beasts.

However, the remaining participants were quite excited.

After all, Divine Pearls were valuable resources that could help Elemental Spirits increase their Elemental Spirit Ascendance.

Meanwhile, the top three participants, including Ajax, were eagerly awaiting their rewards.

Earlier, the Ancient Voice hadn't revealed what rewards the top three would receive, merely stating that they would be a surprise.

Naturally, this had greatly increased everyone's curiosity, including that of the three highest-ranked participants.

Soon, the Ancient Voice announced the first reward.

[The third-place participant, Selene, will receive a Divine Talent Fruit! Upon consumption, it will awaken a Divine Talent within the consumer!]

"What?"

"A Divine Talent Fruit?"

"Such a generous reward!"

The participants were stunned.

Even Selene, who had secured third place, was momentarily speechless.

Divine Talents were incredibly valuable because only a few individuals in the entire universe had awakened them so far, and every one of them had reached the pinnacle of the universe. Obtaining a Divine Talent could significantly improve an individual's potential.

Yet, the reward for securing third place was a fruit that could awaken one directly!

Although the participants didn't know whether everyone could awaken a Divine Talent through ordinary means, they understood just how valuable such a reward was.

'As expected, the rewards for the top three are on a completely different level.'

Ajax wasn't particularly surprised by the Divine Talent Fruit. Instead, he became even more curious about the remaining rewards.

After all, if a Divine Talent Fruit was the reward for third place, what would the first-place participant receive?

The Ancient Voice didn't keep them waiting long.

[The second-place participant, Elynthra, will receive a Divine Talent Fruit and a Divine Revival Stone!]

[The Divine Revival Stone can be bound to an individual. If that individual dies, they will be instantly revived at a previously specified location!]

"What?!"

"A Divine Revival Stone?"

"Not only does she get a Divine Talent Fruit, but she can also revive after death?"

The surrounding participants were once again shocked after hearing about the effects of the Divine Revival Stone.

Even Selene, who had received the Divine Talent Fruit, couldn't help but look at Elynthra with envy.

Although the Divine Talent Fruit was precious, the Divine Revival Stone was equally astonishing.

After all, no matter how powerful someone became, nobody could guarantee that they would never encounter a life-threatening situation.

With a Divine Revival Stone, one could have an additional chance at survival.

Naturally, such a treasure was incredibly valuable.

'What? Apart from the Divine Talent Fruit, there's even a Divine Revival Stone?'

Ajax was also surprised by the reward.

He hadn't expected the second-place participant to receive such a precious treasure.

'Now I'm even more curious about the first-place reward.'

The expectations of the participants rose even higher.

Soon, the Ancient Voice announced the final reward.

[The first-place participant will receive a...
