Chapter 2139 - 2139: The Path to the Top Ten (2)

Nyra, a loose cultivator who relied on her Elemental Spirit to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, used her Elemental Spirit, Spectros, to create more than a hundred clones.

These clones were sent to observe each participant and collect information about how many Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals they had acquired.

Nyra knew this information would be extremely valuable to the stronger participants who wanted some guarantee that they would enter the top 10 rankings.

After seeing so many Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals in front of Thorne through one of Spectros's clones, Nyra knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Of course, Thorne's character was also one of the reasons why she was willing to talk without wasting any time.

"What? That silver-haired witch collected that many crystals?"

"That Raith Spirit Clan is as mysterious as the Dragons from the Dragon Region."

After fighting the Elemental Beasts for the past few days, Ajax knew how powerful they were.

With the help of his Divine Body Cultivation, Ajax was able to collect around 270,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals.

Of course, he was not looking down on the other participants, but Ajax didn't expect someone to actually collect 250,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals.

'Elyndra Raith? I will remember that name.'

Ajax quickly recovered from his shock and decided to remember that name for now.

"Why are you all shocked?"

Nyra's voice came through the Elemental Spirit. "If Brother Ajax didn't give you the Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals, he would have been the number one in the rankings."

"Right now, he is currently in second place with 100,000 crystals."

Nyra looked at Ajax as though she was looking at a monster.

"What? Brother Ajax would have been number one?"

Only then did Thorne and the other three realise that Ajax had collected a total of 300,000 crystals, whereas they struggled to get 20,000.

Thinking about that, their respect towards Ajax increased by another level.

In any universe, powerful cultivators were respected by others, and this universe was not any different.

"After Brother Ajax, the third place is Kael Draven from the Draven Forge Clan with 35,000 crystals."

Nyra revealed the current third position in the First Round.

"Finally, a number that is within our estimations."

When they heard the number of crystals for the third position, Thorne and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

It was because it was a number that was acceptable, unlike the first and second positions.

"As expected of Kael… he is in third position."

As for the one who was holding the current third rank, Thorne was not surprised.

"Fourth place belongs to Dorian Ashveil from the Heavenly Ash Sect with 34,000 crystals."

"The fifth place belongs to Seraphine Vale from Vale Pavilion with 32,000 crystals."

.

[Ninth place belongs to Thorne Vale from Iron Mountain Sect with 20,500 crystals]

[Tenth place belongs to Riven, a loose cultivator, with 20,000 crystals]

Soon, Nyra shared the data she had collected regarding the top 10 positions.

In the list, Thorne was ranked ninth; however, Nyra didn't add the 200,000 crystals yet.

Once Thorne's team split the crystals evenly, the rankings would change.

"As of now, if you want to enter the top 10, you need to have at least 21,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals."

"However, there are still six hours before the First Round ends, and I am sure there will be changes in the rankings."

Nyra didn't forget to mention that these rankings would change by the end of the First Round.

For the past few days, most of the participants had been focusing on hunting the Elemental Beasts to collect Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals.

However, as the time to the end of the First Round approached, the participants would naturally start targeting those who were holding large numbers of crystals.

As of now, more or less, every participant had at least 5,000 Elemental Spirit Ascension Crystals, and some had even more than that.

Of course, there were also participants who had collected as many as 20,000 crystals.

Except for a few participants who were killed by the Elemental Beasts, there were still more than 100 participants left, excluding Thorne's team.

Once the participants started fighting for the crystals, the crystals would eventually fall into the hands of the stronger participants.

And those strong participants would eventually occupy the top 10 positions.

Listening to Nyra, no one was surprised, as it was well within their expectations.

"Since I have taken your payment, I will continue to update the number of crystals the top 10 participants have."

"That way, you can share your crystals accordingly."

At the end, Nyra assured Thorne that she would help him.

Currently, Thorne's team has lots of crystals, and using them, getting one spot in the top ten rankings is guaranteed.

However, if there was a chance, Thorne wanted all his seniors to get a spot in the top ten, including him.

So, as long as he had the information regarding the top ten rankings, he could share the crystals accordingly with those in the top rankings.

At worst, Thorne believed that they would get at least three spots in the top ten rankings.

"I know your character."

Thorne trusted Nyra, and it was also because of this that he had already given her the five Heavenly Escape Talismans.

"Anyway, we will continue to hunt until the end of the First Round."

Just because they had more than 200,000 crystals didn't mean they could sit and relax.

Since there was still time, they wanted to accumulate as many crystals as possible by hunting the Elemental Beasts.

Even though there was an option to steal from other participants, Thorne didn't like such things.

Moreover, he felt it was quite risky, especially when all the participants were geniuses with who knows how many trump cards they had.

With that, Thorne and his team went back to hunting the Elemental Beasts in the Wind Terrain, leaving Ajax and the Elemental Spirit Spectros behind.

"Brother Ajax,"

Ajax looked towards Spectros.

"What is it?"

"Do you want to know something interesting?"

Nyra's voice came through Spectros, carrying a faint smile.

"Something interesting?"

Ajax raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

Spectros nodded its ghostly head.

"Once you leave the Elemental Source Land, you need to be careful not only with Crimson Fang Hall but also with the Raith Spirit Clan."

"Huh?"

Ajax raised his brows in confusion.
