Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 104 Training Begins

Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Training Begins

Early the next morning at the Iron Blood Army camp.

Ninety-eight young boys from all over Swallow Mountain County gathered once again.

After a night of rest, they were all in high spirits.

Yesterday’s events were completely in the past...

A new Chapter had begun.

Before long, the Centurion who oversaw tests for the Genius Camp yesterday arrived with five young officers in tow.

As soon as the Centurion appeared, he got straight to the point:

"Firstly, congratulations on passing the test and becoming members of Genius Camp. I am Centurion Declan Yorke of the Iron Blood Army, responsible for organizing this year’s Genius Camp training... Normally, the five Centurions behind me will serve as your ’instructors’ and lead your training. Now, you can divide yourselves into groups freely, splitting into five groups. Each group cannot exceed twenty persons."

Declan Yorke continued.

Immediately, the squad of young geniuses started to move about.

More people flooded towards four directions.

In these four directions, stood an individual.

Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, Tiggi Field, and Simon Davies.

Clearly, in their eyes, latching onto Wyatt Barnes’s coattails seemed like the wisest choice...

Wyatt Barnes, Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan stood their ground, not budging an inch.

Around them, it didn’t take long for a crowd of over twenty to gather.

Finally, under the intervention of the five Centurions, Wyatt Barnes’ group ended up with twenty people.

The groups of Walter Simmons, Tiggi Field, and Simon Davies were the same.

Only the other eighteen people stood on the side, smiling bitterly and looking somewhat lost and helpless.

"Alright, the groups have been sorted... Moving on, let’s briefly introduce the rules of training for the next year. In the first round of training, each group will face different challenges over a period of three months. It’s survival of the fittest, until half the members are eliminated... That means, in three months, only half of each group will remain."

Declan Yorke stated slowly.

As Declan Yorke’s voice fell, the group of eighteen isolated geniuses lit up.

"Hahaha! So that’s how it is... Looks like our luck isn’t bad. At least there are no ’freaks’ in our group."

"You’re right, they’re the unlucky ones... Especially the groups with Wyatt Barnes and Simon Davies. Wyatt Barnes will definitely help his two companions, which means that in the first round of training, out of the other seventeen, only seven will survive."

"Hahaha... The people in Simon Davies’s group are even more screwed. Simon Davies has four members from the Davies Family by his side. Out of the other fifteen, only five can survive."

...

Contrasting the joy of these boys.

The young boys of the other four groups all had somewhat awkward expressions.

Especially those in the groups of Wyatt Barnes and Simon Davies.

They all wore ugly expressions.

"Damn! What was I thinking? Why did I choose Wyatt Barnes’s group?"

"Forget it. Our luck is not so bad compared to those who chose Simon Davies’s group."

...

"Damn, how did I end up choosing Simon Davies’s group? This is the worst."

"Exactly, even Wyatt Barnes’s group would be better than this one."

...

Upon hearing the discussions around him, Simon Davies’s expression turned cold as he snapped, "If you guys think Wyatt Barnes’s group is better, then get lost and join them!"

Instantly, the boys around him fell silent.

They dared not offend Simon Davies now...

If Simon Davies had a bias against them, they would be done for.

"Now, the five groups of you will each make up a squad... guided by a Centurion as your instructor, you will start the first round of three-month training."

Declan Yorke’s voice echoed once again.

The group Walter Simmons was in was named ’First Squad’.

The group Tiggi Field was in was named ’Second Squad’.

The group Wyatt Barnes was in was named ’Third Squad’.

The group Simon Davies was in was named ’Fourth Squad’.

The last group was named ’Fifth Squad’.

Five Centurions, each standing in front of their respective squad...

"Starting today, I am the instructor of Third Squad, my name is ’Jaz Martinez’!"

A medium-built Centurion, around thirty years old, standing in front of Wyatt Barnes’s group, shouted out loud.

"Is he trying to be cheap?"

A few boys were startled.

Wyatt Barnes twitched a corner of his mouth; this Centurion’s name was certainly unique...

"Pfft!"

Immediately, someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Is something funny?"

Jaz Martinez’s face darkened and he shouted harshly.

Instantly, the entire squad quieted down.

"Everyone follow me, we’re marching to the ’Sunset Mountain Range’!"

Jaz Martinez snapped, leading the way out of the Iron Blood Army camp.

At this time, the teenagers from the other four squads had also followed their instructors.

A group of Genius Camp boys, following behind their instructors, left Iron Blood City and headed towards the Sunset Mountain Range.

In the beginning, the boys who sprinted out were all talkative and jovial...

By noon, however, hardly anyone had the energy to chat.

They were all hungry and thirsty.

"Instructor, where are we eating lunch?"

A boy from the Third Squad couldn’t help asking.

"Hmph! There’s no lunch. If you want to eat, you’ll have to sort it out yourselves once we reach the Sunset Mountain Range! Judging by our current pacing, we will only arrive at the Sunset Mountain Range in the evening at the earliest... Buck up!"

Jaz Martinez snorted coldly.

"What? We’re running until evening?"

The boys were dumbfounded.

They had only ran for half a morning and they were already feeling tired and hungry...

If they were to run until evening, wouldn’t they just drop dead from exhaustion?

"Wyatt Barnes, aren’t you tired?"

At the end of the group of Third Squad boys, three youngsters followed at a leisurely pace. Westyn Morgan, wiping the sweat off his brow, asked.

At this point, even Remi Sinclair was huffing and puffing...

Only Wyatt Barnes remained unfazed.

A smile was visible in the corner of Wyatt Barnes’ mouth.

Tired?

This small amount of training, compared to his previous life, was child’s play.

In this life, his physique is even more powerful, so much so that even if he were to run for a whole day and night, he wouldn’t necessarily feel tired...

"Westyn Morgan, your breath is too unruly... Take one breath every three steps and exhale every two steps, maintain the rhythm, give it a try."

Wyatt Barnes said with a smile, sharing his ’secret’ with Westyn.

After Westyn followed Wyatt’s instruction, his complexion recovered within a short while, he stopped sweating and overall, he felt refreshed.

"It actually works."

Westyn’s eyes brightened.

"Hmm?"

Remi Sinclair seemed somewhat surprised and couldn’t help trying it out. He discovered that he truly couldn’t feel the fatigue of being out of breath anymore.

He took a deeper look at Wyatt.

He realized that the more he understood about Wyatt, the more stunned he felt...

"Wyatt Barnes, I really have to hand it to you."

Westyn Morgan exclaimed.

Soon enough, people started to notice that despite their speed not slowing, Wyatt and the other two were not panting, leaving everyone astounded.

Even the five instructors showed some signs of shock.

"Hmph!"

Simon Davies’ pacing began to increase, at the sight of Wyatt and his group’s condition, his face fell.

Even Walter Simmons and Tiggi Field looked deeply at Wyatt.

At present, apart from the five instructors, only Wyatt and the other two members of his group seemed to be on a leisurely stroll, not at all like they were running.

The sun was setting.

Upon seeing a range of continuous mountains in front of them, apart from Wyatt’s group, all the other boys, including Walter, Tiggi, and Simon, breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are here already? Sigh, it didn’t even seem like a challenge."

Westyn Morgan said irritably.

Suddenly, they were met with numerous contemptuous looks...

"Stop!"

Soon, the five instructors glanced at each other and shouted in unison.

All the boys in the five squads stopped.

Some of the boys bent over to take deep breaths...

They could finally rest.

Soon, they were all stunned again.

The five instructors rummaged through all of their belongings, confiscating every ’fire starter’ they had.

"Quite interesting."

Something came to Wyatt Barnes’ mind, and he smiled.

The five instructors collected all the fire starters, piled them up, and burnt them to ashes.

"Instructors, what is..."

Some boys were confused.

"Now, the Centurion is waiting at the entrance of the Sunset Mountain Range... Whoever amongst you reaches the Sunset Mountain Range first will get the ’fire starter’ from the Centurion. That could determine whether you eat raw meat or cooked meat tonight."

One of the instructors slowly spoke.

Soon, a group of boys ran forward as if just awakened from a dream. They no longer cared about resting...

From above, phantom images of ancient mammoths ran by, their momentum overwhelming!

Soon, only Wyatt Barnes and his two group members were left leisurely walking forward.

While Wyatt Barnes remained calm, both Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan were baffled...

"Wyatt Barnes, aren’t we going to fight for the fire starter?"

Westyn Morgan asked.

"If we don’t have a fire starter, we’ll have to eat raw meat in the coming days."

Remi Sinclair said with a bitter smile.

"Who said you need a fire starter to start a fire?"

Wyatt Barnes replied nonchalantly.

He had a fire starter in his Storage Ring, and even if he didn’t use it, there were many ways he could easily start a fire...

Four out of the five instructors ran off.

Only their instructor ’Jaz Martinez’ who was in charge of Wyatt Barnes’ squad was left. He cast a glance at Wyatt’s group, frowned, but did not say much.

"How will we start a fire without a fire starter?"

Westyn Morgan asked curiously.

"Forget it, we probably won’t be able to catch up now... The worst-case scenario is that we will borrow it from the person who gets the fire starter when we need it."

Remi Sinclair shook his head, not entirely believing Wyatt Barnes’ words.

The three of them slowly moved forward, and when they reached the entrance of the Sunset Mountain Range, they found only Centurion ’Declan Yorke’ and the other four Centurion instructors remaining.

The other boys were nowhere to be seen.

"What’s going on?"

Declan Yorke frowned, looking at Jaz Martinez who was following behind Wyatt’s group.

"Centurion, it seemed like they didn’t care about the fire starter, so I didn’t pressure them into it."

Jaz Martinez explained in a matter-of-fact manner.

Declan Yorke glanced at Wyatt’s group, shook his head, "Alright, you three, go hunt for some beasts now and prepare your dinner."

Wyatt nodded, and along with Westyn and Remi, entered the Sunset Mountain Range.

"They probably plan on borrowing a fire starter from someone else."

After glancing at the backs of Wyatt’s group, Jaz Martinez snorted under his breath.

"Then they might be out of luck..."

Declan Yorke looked strange.

"Hmm?"

Jaz Martinez, looking puzzled, turned to Declan Yorke, "Centurion, why do you say that?"

"Haha! Jaz Martinez, do you know who got the fire starter?"

Another Centurion asked, laughing.

"Who?"

Jaz Martinez asked, somewhat curious.

"Simon Davies!"
