Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1248: The First Round of Selection

Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248: The First Round of Selection

"Wyatt Barnes."

Soon, a familiar voice reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears, and without turning around, he recognized the speaker.

It was Demetrius Nangle, who had arrived with him at Mystic Profound Peak to participate in the selection for the disciples and disciples of the Martial Emperor.

However, Wyatt could hear two faint sounds of the wind approaching, signaling not just Demetrius Nangle, but Jaxx Nangle had also arrived.

"You have arrived."

Wyatt Barnes nodded slightly.

"Wyatt Barnes, has Vihaan Wright come to find you?"

Demetrius Nangle, who had walked up to Wyatt, found his gaze unconsciously settling on Vihaan Wright standing behind Easton Sutton, speaking with a hint of apprehension.

"He has."

Wyatt nodded in response to Demetrius Nangle’s inquiry.

"Did you defeat him?"

Demetrius Nangle asked, somewhat surprised.

"No fight took place."

Wyatt shook his head.

Although Vihaan Wright had sought him out, he had not attacked him, so there was no question of victory or defeat.

"No fight?"

This time, it was Demetrius’s turn to be surprised.

When Vihaan Wright had approached him, he was furiously angry. If it hadn’t been for misgivings about him participating in the selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and disciples and the fact that he wasn’t the real culprit, he surely would have attacked him.

However, Wyatt was a different case.

Vihaan Wright’s own brother had died directly by Wyatt’s hand. Logically, Vihaan Wright shouldn’t have let him off so easily.

"Do you think you can beat him now?"

Demetrius Nangle didn’t ask for the reason, yet he was quite curious.

Although Wyatt had killed Vihaan Wright’s brother, Bryant Wright, a disciple from Mystic Profound Peak, it had been a surprise attack.

Had Bryant been prepared, it likely wouldn’t have been possible for Wyatt to kill him.

After all, Wyatt’s cultivation was low, and the power amplified by his spiritual weapon was limited.

Bryant had died from his carelessness.

If it were Wyatt from six months ago, Demetrius could definitively say it would be impossible for him to defeat Vihaan Wright, another disciple of the Martial Emperor rumored to be even stronger than his brother, Bryant Wright.

Among the disciples of the Martial Emperor at Mystic Profound Peak, his strength ranked in the top three.

But now, six months had passed, and he didn’t know how far Wyatt’s cultivation had recovered. He wouldn’t dare to jump to conclusions.

After all, originally, it only took Wyatt a month to recover his cultivation from the first level of Condensed Pill Realm to the first level of Cave Void Realm.

Now, another six months had passed; how much further had Wyatt’s cultivation developed?

He didn’t know.

"Confident?"

Upon hearing Demetrius Nangle’s inquiry, Wyatt seemed taken aback briefly and then smiled mysteriously, which only increased Demetrius’s curiosity.

"What, you’re confident?"

Demetrius couldn’t help but ask again.

However, Wyatt still didn’t answer him, which frustrated him greatly.

Far away, Mystic Profound Peak’s Martial Emperor’s disciple Easton Sutton and Martial Emperor’s disciple Ashton Chapman gathered together, indicating that the selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and apprentices was about to begin.

Easton Sutton and Ashton Chapman, indeed, were the two judges of the selection today.

Naturally, aside from these two judges, there were also other groups of Martial Emperor’s disciples assisting.

A group of Martial Emperor’s disciples would act as "supervisors" today, monitoring specific details of the selection.

"Second Senior Brother, long time no see."

Easton Sutton greeted Ashton Chapman with a smile. To an outsider, they might believe that Easton and Ashton, as "brothers," shared a deep bond.

"Indeed, it’s been a while... Third Brother."

Ashton Chapman responded lightly, a forced smile on his face.

In the depths of both their eyes, there flickered a hint of hostility.

"Now that both of us are here... shall we begin today’s selection for the Martial Emperor’s disciples and apprentices?"

Easton Sutton asked.

"Let’s start."

Ashton Chapman nodded and looked around loudly, announcing, "All warriors participating in today’s selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and apprentices, descend to the stone platform below... In a quarter of an hour, the first round of selection will begin."

With Ashton Chapman’s proclamation, a crowd of people descended like dumplings onto the vast stone platform below and stood there.

Initially, Wyatt and the Nangle brothers didn’t join the crowd.

Only when the number of descending people dwindled did they step into the air and land steadily on the side of the stone platform, waiting for the selection of the Martial Emperor’s disciples and apprentices to start.

"Tsk tsk... Jaxx Nangle, are these your companions?"

Just when Wyatt and the Nangle brothers had just landed, a provoking voice timely rose, laden with sarcasm.

A middle-aged man in a silver robe quickly approached Wyatt and the Nangles, focusing his gaze on Wyatt and Demetrius without glancing at Jaxx.

"I haven’t seen them before... So, their cultivation hasn’t even reached the Seventh-Order of Martial Emperor Realm?"

By the end of his speech, his face was covered with mocking laughter.

Listening to him, it was obvious that he had spent the past six months cultivating in the same place as Jaxx Nangle.

Originally, when Wyatt Barnes and the others arrived at Mystic Profound Peak, they were each assigned to different training locations.

Wyatt Barnes, because his cultivation was below the Fourth Order of the Martial Emperor Realm, was assigned to one area.

Demetrius Nangle, whose cultivation was above the Fourth Order of the Martial Emperor Realm and below the Seventh Order, was assigned to another area.

Jaxx Nangle, whose cultivation was above the Seventh Order of the Martial Emperor Realm, was assigned to a different cultivation area than Wyatt Barnes and Demetrius Nangle.

The man in the silver robe, since he was assigned to the same place as Jaxx Nangle, showed that he had been above the Seventh Order of the Martial Emperor Realm six months ago.

Moreover, since he dared to so blatantly disregard Jaxx Nangle and provoke both Wyatt Barnes and Demetrius Nangle in front of Jaxx, it showed he wasn’t afraid of Jaxx and was at least as powerful as him.

He might even be stronger than Jaxx.

"Scram!"

With a rarely stern face, Jaxx Nangle shouted sharply.

Following Jaxx’s shout, the man in the silver robe’s expression turned completely somber as he glared at Jaxx and harshly said, "Jaxx Nangle, I hope your two companions don’t encounter me in the upcoming selection... Otherwise, I will make sure they have no place to be buried!"

As he spoke, a ferocious light flickered in the eyes of the silver-robed man, as though choosing his prey.

"To make us die without burial, you’d need the ability to do so."

Unaware of what had transpired, Demetrius Nangle, upon hearing the threat from the man in the silver robe, smirked coldly.

Only Wyatt Barnes, who had been silent from the start, just gave the silver-robed man a cold glance before withdrawing his gaze.

In the depths of his eyes, a subtle murderous intent flashed.

"To see if you have the ability, you will find out soon! Even Jaxx Nangle doesn’t dare to claim he can defeat me, and you, a young man who hasn’t even reached the Seventh Order of the Martial Emperor Realm, killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant."

Hearing Demetrius’s words, the silver-robed man continued to mock as he left under Demetrius’s furious gaze and stood aside.

"Jaxx Nangle, you can’t defeat him?"

Demetrius retracted his gaze, quickly turned to Jaxx, and asked.

"A draw."

Jaxx spoke softly, his words as precious as gold.

"No wonder he’s so arrogant, daring to provoke you, me, and Wyatt Barnes."

Demetrius hummed, "But it’s one thing to provoke you and me... and he even dares to provoke Wyatt Barnes, truly courting death!"

At the end of his speech, Demetrius looked towards Wyatt Barnes but noticed Wyatt’s calm demeanor, seemingly unaffected by the recent provocation of the silver-robed man.

Immediately, Demetrius felt somewhat disappointed.

To Wyatt Barnes, the incident with the silver-robed man was just a minor interlude, quickly cast out of his mind.

A quarter of an hour quickly passed.

"A quarter hour has passed."

"The first round of selections is about to begin... I wonder what it will be."

"We’ll know soon."

...

Many whispered quietly, filled with anticipation and apprehension for the upcoming selection of disciples and apprentices of the Martial Emperor.

The ones who could remain calm, Wyatt Barnes included, were no more than ten.

Even Demetrius was now solemn, on alert and waiting for the first round of the Martial Emperor’s disciple and apprentice selection to commence.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Easton Sutton and Ashton Chapman simultaneously leaped into the air and soon arrived above Wyatt Barnes and the others; standing there, they remained silent for a long while.

"What’s going on?"

"What is this act?"

...

Just as the crowd present began to feel puzzled, Easton Sutton and Ashton Chapman finally moved. Their bodies shook slightly, and a powerful aura suddenly emerged from them.

The aura of Martial Emperor pinnacle fighters completely unleashed, falling right onto Wyatt Barnes and the others with a fierce momentum.

The combined aura of the two great Martial Emperor pinnacle fighters was no longer as simple as one plus one.

Under the cover of this aura, aside from Wyatt Barnes and a few dozen others, everyone else was staggering.

Boom!

In a moment, someone couldn’t hold on any longer and fell to the ground, their face ashen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

Soon after, more and more people fell.

Those who fell first were mostly people who had been in the same cultivation area as Wyatt Barnes during the past six months, all below the Fourth Order Martial Emperor Realm.

Under the aura of the two great Martial Emperor pinnacle fighters, they simply couldn’t hold on.

Soon, except for Wyatt Barnes, everyone from his cultivation area in the past half-year fell and was eliminated.

"Hmph! A bunch of trash!"

High in the sky, overlooking the scene below, Easton Sutton snorted disdainfully.

"It’s also because our Mystic Profound Peak had no strict requirements for those participating in this selection of Martial Emperor disciples and apprentices... Otherwise, they wouldn’t even qualify to come. However, it turns out that even if they did come, they were only overestimating themselves."

Ashton Chapman spoke indifferently, also overlooking below and seemingly unsurprised.

"With such ability, they wanted to become disciples and apprentices of our Mystic Profound Peak?"

"They overestimated themselves!"

...

Many watching from the air above Mystic Profound Peak, witnessing the scene below, displayed disdain and jeered.
