Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 797: Wishful Thinking

Wyatt Barnes could understand the mood of the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

Their most outstanding son, and the nephew who was even more extraordinary than the son, died just like that, in far-off lands, was indeed hard to accept.

"Huh?"

Soon, Wyatt Barnes noticed that after the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty took a deep breath, his face returned to its initial state, with a hint of smile appearing on his face as he looked over at Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, congratulations."

At the same time, the congratulatory message of the Emperor, condensed in Origin Force, was conveyed to Wyatt Barnes, making him feel a chilling sensation throughout his body.

Emperors are known for their heartlessness, and today, he had experienced it thoroughly.

"Perhaps, in the Emperor’s eyes, he could bear another son even if the existing one died, let alone a mere nephew... For him, the most important thing is the benefits the Great Turdo Dynasty could gain from the ’Decameron Martial Tournament’."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Out of the fifty who survived the first round of the ’Decameron Martial Tournament’, six were from the Great Turdo Dynasty, ranking steadily among the top ten kingdoms.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Soon, Wyatt Barnes and Brian Graham returned to the zone where Taoi Romero, Sword Thirteen, and Blade Five were located. Winnie Romero, Walter Simmons, and Kase Dragonsmith were already hovering in the air there.

"Brother Barnes, Brother Graham."

Right after Miss Winnie exited the ’Purgatory Phantom Realm’ and returned to Taoi Romero’s side, she anxiously started looking for Wyatt. She breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing him safe and sound.

Wyatt and Brian nodded, and Brian then teased: "Miss Winnie, you couldn’t have seen it in the ’Purgatory Phantom Realm’... Elder Brother Ling Tian was very anxious to find you."

"Brother Graham!"

Wyatt Barnes, feeling betrayed, glared at Brian Graham in annoyance.

Upon hearing Brian’s words, Winnie’s face turned crimson, as if it could bleed.

"I met with Miss Winnie fairly early on. We didn’t encounter any formidable opponents. We killed a few people and then hid, waiting for the end of the first round of selection."

Walter Simmons chuckled: "You two seemed to have come out together as well. Did you also run into someone inside?"

"Hmm."

Brian Graham nodded and then heaved a long breath out of lingering fear, "You guys were lucky... Wyatt and I were nearly killed by Marshall Tyler and Rhodes Collins!"

Hearing Brian’s words, Winnie and Walter’s expressions changed dramatically. Walter frowned and asked, "How did Marshall Tyler and Rhodes Collins team up?"

"Even if they teamed up, they still wouldn’t be a match for Brother Barnes, would they?"

Winnie had a fairly good understanding of Wyatt Barnes’s strength.

"In that place, Elder Brother Ling Tian couldn’t use his secret technique to confuse the enemy. As for Marshall Tyler’s ability, Wyatt knew how to suppress it. Even if none of them used any secret techniques, Wyatt wouldn’t be afraid of him!"

"But it was Rhodes Collins, once he went all out, the power of his grade three spiritual weapon was comparable to the strength of a hundred and five ancient Horned Dragons! We couldn’t match him."

Brian Graham stated with some apprehension.

"What happened next..."

Upon hearing Brian’s words, Winnie’s face turned slightly pale. Even though she knew Wyatt had made it through the crisis, she couldn’t help but internalize his ordeal.

As for Wyatt Barnes himself, he stood by, his face calm.

He knew in his heart that even if they hadn’t been sent out of the ’Purgatory Phantom Realm’ just in time, they wouldn’t have been in danger.

The talisman in his hand could easily suppress that ’Rhodes Collins’!

At this moment, whether it was Walter Simmons, Kase Dragonsmith, or Taoi Romero, Sword Thirteen, and Blade Five, everyone looked at Brian Graham curiously.

Obviously, they were all curious about what had happened that allowed Wyatt Barnes and Brian Graham to survive the crisis.

"In the end..."

Brian Graham suddenly laughed, a bright laugh, "In the end, when Rhodes Collins wanted to attack Wyatt, our vision went dark and we were sent out of the ’Purgatory Phantom Realm’ immediately!"

Upon hearing Brian’s words, everyone froze.

This was possible?

"Your luck..."

Walter Simmons was speechless regarding Wyatt Barnes and Brian Graham’s fortune.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Suddenly, a loud voice broke through the noise on the scene, immediately subduing the crowd. The owner of the voice instantly became the focus of the audience.

The Vice Fort Master of Grimm Wolf Fortress, Yael Zafar!

Everyone’s eyes fell on Yael Zafar; some of them even had a hunch about what he wanted to do.

"Looks like Vice Fort Master Ning truly wants to take Wyatt Barnes as his direct disciple."

"Wyatt Barnes is about to get lucky. Becoming the direct disciple of Vice Fort Master Ning, he can move freely at the Grimm Wolf Fortress, and even in the Desert Ancient City and its surrounding areas."

...

Many talented young survivors from the ten kingdoms watched Wyatt Barnes with jealousy.

"Hmph!"

A cold scoff emerged from the corners of Sword Thirteen’s mouth, as if mocking Yael Zafar’s presumptuousness.

From the beginning, he repeatedly stated that Yael Zafar was not qualified to take Wyatt Barnes as a personal disciple. His words implied that it was impossible for Wyatt to act as a student to Yael.

"Do you have any instructions, Vice Castle Master Yael?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Yael Zafar indifferently and asked directly.

"Before the first round of selection started, I made a promise... Once you pass the first round of selection, no matter how you pass, you can become my disciple!"

Yael Zafar slowly stated.

"And then?"

Wyatt Barnes yawned, and asked in a somewhat disinterested manner.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes’ attitude, Yael Zafar frowned, but still said solemnly, "Now...I, Yael Zafar, Vice Castle Master of the Grimm Wolf Fortress, want to take you, Wyatt Barnes, as my personal disciple! From now on, the Grimm Wolf Fortress will do everything to cultivate you into a talent. And you must devote everything to the Grimm Wolf Fortress, including your life!"

When he finished, Yael Zafar said lightly, "You can kneel now and perform the ceremony to become a disciple."

From beginning to end, only Yael Zafar was playing the lone wolf, he never asked Wyatt Barnes for his opinion, and at the end, he demanded that Wyatt kneel and conduct the disciple ceremony.

It was like he never thought that Wyatt Barnes would refuse.

Most people present didn’t think Wyatt would refuse either.

In their view.

Accepting Yael Zafar as a master has only benefits without any disadvantages.

There is no reason for Wyatt Barnes to refuse.

"Vice Castle Master Yael."

All eyes were on Wyatt Barnes, and he gave Yael Zafar a light look, "You seem not to have understood one thing?"

"Hmm?"

Yael Zafar frowned, his face slightly sinking. Did this Wyatt Barnes really dare to refuse him?

"From beginning to end, you let me worship you as a master, it seems to be just your wishful thinking? You first asked me to accept you as a master, and then openly asked me to kneel down to perform the ceremony without asking for my opinion...But I’d like to know, where does your confidence come from? Are you sure I won’t refuse?"

Wyatt Barnes paused here, looked deeply at Yael Zafar, akin to a predator toying with its prey.

Even if this Yael Zafar begged him to become his master, he wouldn’t necessarily be willing.

Just as Sword Thirteen said.

This insignificant Vice Castle Master of the ’Grimm Wolf Fortress’, a third-rate power from the outside territory, is indeed unqualified to be his master.

He, Wyatt Barnes, possessing the memory of the Martial Emperor through two lives, arrived at this ’outer territory’. In his view, those who are qualified to be his masters are only those at the peak of the Cloud Skies Continent, the Martial Emperor powerhouses!

A mere man who has not even stepped into the ’Martial Emperor Realm’ dares to speak confidently in front of him, and wants him to become a disciple with a few words?

What a joke!

Wyatt Barnes’ assertive words made most of the people present break out in a cold sweat just for him.

"Has this Wyatt Barnes gone mad? He actually dared to openly refuse the Vice Castle Master Yael, and didn’t leave him any face at all!"

"Don’t forget, there is a powerhouse from the ’Blade and Sword Sect’ standing behind him."

...

Many people whispered quietly.

"This Wyatt Barnes is simply seeking his own doom!"

A sneer appeared on Marshall Tyler’s face, he had never thought that Wyatt Barnes would dare to openly confront Yael Zafar, the Vice Castle Master of the Grimm Wolf Fortress. You have to know that this was the territory of the Grimm Wolf Fortress.

That ’Blade and Sword Sect’, while not necessarily weaker than the Grimm Wolf Fortress, but as the saying goes, ’even a dragon doesn’t crush a snake in its own backyard’. In the Grimm Wolf Fortress, Sword Thirteen might not be able to keep Wyatt Barnes safe.

"What is this Wyatt Barnes trying to do?!"

The Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty was somewhat frantic. He led the aspiring young talent from the Great Turdo Dynasty to participate in the ’Martial Arts Meeting of Ten Dynasties’, in order to claim the rewards of the Grimm Wolf Fortress.

When Yael Zafar, the Vice Castle Master of the Grimm Wolf Fortress, openly stated that he wanted to take Wyatt Barnes as a personal disciple, he thought he could feel plenty of third-tier spiritual weapons, pill medicines, and even ’realm fragments’ in his hands.

However, at a critical moment, Wyatt Barnes’ words hit him like a bucket of cold water, giving him a brutal wake-up call.

Upon waking up, the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty had a chill in his heart, "Does this Wyatt Barnes not understand that he is representing our Great Turdo Dynasty now? If he angers the Vice Castle Master, it won’t be easy for us the Great Turdo Dynasty either!"

Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir! Whir!

...

One pair of eyes after another fell onto Yael Zafar, whose face was changing colors between white and green, and was furious to the extreme.

Thiago Relief, who was standing next to Yael Zafar, took a step forward, his cold and piercing gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes, and he said in a deep voice, "Wyatt Barnes, my uncle master wants to accept you as a personal disciple, that is a courtesy towards you. Don’t be ungrateful."

"Vice Castle Master Thiago, according to what you just said... If I want to accept you as a personal disciple, then I am also favoring you, right?"

Wyatt Barnes was not the least bit intimidated by Thiago Relief, maintaining eye contact, he continued to outwit him.

"What the hell do you consider yourself to compare with my uncle master? I....."

Thiago Relief’s eyes were filled with fury as he coldly started to speak, but was interrupted by Yael Zafar raising his hand beside him.

Yael Zafar’s expressionless gaze calmly fell on Wyatt Barnes:

"Alright! I will ask you then, do you want to accept me as your master?"
