Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1368: Thirteen Protectors

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1368: Thirteen Protectors

Many young people, including Gideon Cruz and Edward Watson, looked at Jemma Clifford differently again, not daring to belittle her anymore because of her gender.

However, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised at all.

Jemma Clifford, as a woman, at the age of 27, became the strongest among the young generation of Jade Trust Town and even surpassed Mandy Wood who was also in the middle stage of Transcending Mortal Realm.

Her strength was evident.

Gideon Cruz, who was originally planning to find another target, changed his expression when he saw the young man standing up from under Jemma’s feet looking at him.

He realized that the other’s gaze was venomous, clearly seeing him as Jemma Clifford’s companion.

And what Jemma had just done was naturally seen as her stepping in to help him.

Instantly, Gideon Cruz gave up the idea of seizing a hut on the outskirts and, pinching his nose, settled in a hut near the sewage pit.

Although it smelled, he endured it.

"Truly a female hero! Beauty, your strength is formidable... why not try challenging the Thirteen Protectors?"

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to enter the hut, a young man looking to enter the same hut as Jemma Clifford grinned and smiled.

"As long as you can defeat any of the Thirteen Protectors, you can take over the hut he resides in."

Saying this, the youth pointed towards a platform behind the sewage pit, where conspicuously stood thirteen brand new huts.

"Living there, you won’t smell anything foul... because on one side of the platform, a small wind attribute formation is set up, blowing the smell of the sewage pit towards us."

The youth continued to tempt: "Moreover, becoming one of the Thirteen Protectors, even the least ranked, receives a hundred eight-grade Holy Stones each month... while we others only get ten eight-grade Holy Stones."

The Thirteen Protectors?

Hearing the youth’s words, not only Jemma Clifford, but even Wyatt Barnes, Gideon Cruz, and Edward Watson all looked towards the thirteen brand-new huts on the platform.

"The ones residing there, are they the ’Thirteen Protectors’ previously mentioned by Elder Lynch?"

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

At this moment, Jemma and the other two also realized.

"Damn! We only get ten eight-grade Holy Stones each month, while they get at least a hundred... unfair, unfair!"

Edward Watson exclaimed loudly.

"Thirteen Protectors, what is their cultivation level?"

Jemma Clifford’s eyes sparkled with interest in the position of the Thirteen Protectors, but she remained calm and didn’t rush forward without thinking.

"Aside from the top five ranked individuals who are in the late stage of Transcending Mortal Realm... the rest are all in the middle stage of Transcending Mortal Realm."

Hearing Jemma Clifford’s inquiry, many people hurried to answer, "The thirteen huts on the platform... from left to right, represent the rankings of the Thirteen Protectors."

"The one residing in the leftmost hut is the number one among the Thirteen Protectors! The one residing in the rightmost hut is the weakest."

Many people explained, and even more eyes gleamed, eager to see the drama unfold, loving nothing more than chaos.

"There are markings."

Sharpeyed Wyatt Barnes also noticed that each of the thirteen huts on the platform was engraved with marks... from left to right, marked from ’one’ to ’thirteen’.

"Among the Thirteen Protectors, the top three ranked individuals... all have the chance to be personally summoned and guided by the City Lord."

Another person added fuel to the fire.

"Thirteen Protectors, I, Edward Watson have decided!"

Edward Watson shouted loudly, and because of the anti-flying formation in the city, he could only run to the side of the sewage pit and use it to jump onto the platform where the Thirteen Protectors resided.

"Haha! There’s going to be a great show."

"I wonder if he can make the Thirteen Protectors change their blood."

"I doubt it. Not to mention the top five ranked individuals in the late stage of Transcending Mortal Realm... even the latter eight ranked in the middle stage of Transcending Mortal Realm, are all exceptional in strength."

"Yes, otherwise, they wouldn’t be holding the positions of the Thirteen Protectors."

...

Many youths looked up at the platform, their faces filled with anticipation.

"Just arrived at the Dragon’s Den, and planning to challenge the Thirteen Protectors?"

At this moment, many young men and women came out from various dilapidated huts, drawn by Edward Watson.

After they came out, they too looked towards the platform with great interest.

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow; under his Heavenly Eye, it was easy to see that these people were also in the early or middle stages of Transcending Mortal Realm... which made sense, as if they were in the late stage, they would have already become one of the Thirteen Protectors.

They wouldn’t be staying here, sniffing the sewage stench.

Besides receiving a hundred eight-grade Holy Stones each month and living in a place where the sewage stench couldn’t reach... the preferential treatment they enjoyed was evident.

Anyone with a bit of strength would want to be one of the Thirteen Protectors.

Of course, not ruling out some masochists who might enjoy the ’flavor’ below.

But Wyatt Barnes considered himself not one of those masochists... so, he had made up his mind, to challenge the Thirteen

Soon, Edward Watson arrived at the last hut among the thirteen brand new huts.

Perhaps Edward Watson was a bit impulsive just now, but after climbing onto the platform, he calmed down and chose the weakest among the Thirteen Protectors.

The owner of hut number thirteen.

Being both part of the 13 Protectors, the closer the wooden cabins are to the front, the better the treatment... There is a significant difference in strength between them.

For instance, the top five ranked individuals are all geniuses in the late stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

The eight people ranked lower are in the middle stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm, but there is still a clear difference in their strengths... The owner of cabin number 13 is undoubtedly the weakest.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if he is the weakest, it is only in comparison to the other twelve among the 13 Protectors.

"The air here is much fresher."

Standing in front of cabin number 13, Edward Watson takes a deep breath, somewhat intoxicated... Here, one cannot smell even the slightest stench, making it seem like a completely different world compared to below the stage.

"Hey! Guy in cabin number 13, roll out... Your master Edward has taken a fancy to your doghouse!"

Soon, Edward Watson roared towards cabin number 13.

Doghouse?

Hearing Edward Watson’s words, including Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford, everyone’s gaze turned somewhat strange.

This guy, calling cabin number 13 a doghouse?

Doesn’t that mean he now wants to snatch the doghouse to live in?

"Hahaha... Who is challenging me, Foresty Crawford?"

Almost immediately after Edward Watson’s words faded, a loud laugh erupted from inside the cabin, reckless and unrestrained... Just by the sound of it, one could tell this was a proud person.

In a moment, the door was flung open, and a tall, burly youth with a fierce expression stepped out, standing there like an iron tower, intimidating to behold.

This youth was nearly two meters tall.

He is the person ranked ’thirteenth’ among the 13 Protectors of the Hidden Dragon Camp, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm and one of the best among Martial Artists and Taoist Cultivators at this stage in the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Now, the youth, glaring with fierce, large eyes, stared at Edward Watson, "Is it you, the little dwarf, who wants to challenge me, Foresty Crawford?"

Little dwarf?

Hearing Foresty Crawford’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s mouth twitched slightly.

Edward Watson, even if not very tall at about 1.7 meters, was referred to as ’little dwarf’ by Foresty Crawford... However, compared to Foresty’s nearly two-meter stature, Edward Watson indeed did seem rather short.

"Let’s see how you, the big guy, are going to defeat me, this little dwarf!"

Upon hearing Foresty Crawford’s taunt, Edward Watson’s face darkened, his eyes became bloodshot, and with a push of his feet, his body suddenly spun up like a tornado.

"What impressive movements!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.

Edward Watson now using his movement techniques was faster than Mandy Wood from Jade Trust Town’s Wood Family... Of course, there was still some distance in comparison to him.

"You are quite fast... However, speed alone won’t let you defeat me!"

Facing Edward Watson, who seemed to transform into a tornado sweeping towards him, Foresty Crawford’s face turned somewhat ferocious, muscles bulging over his body, stretching his clothing.

If not for the fact that his clothes were already quite loose, they would have been torn apart by now.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

...

Just as he approached close to Foresty Crawford, a sword suddenly appeared in Edward Watson’s hands, the swordplay like a swimming dragon, creating a dazzling array of sword blossoms.

Each strike seemed to solidify a sword blossom in the air.

"Edward Watson’s sword is faster than Mandy Wood’s knife... His overall strength is much stronger than that of Mandy Wood."

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but recall his encounter with Mandy Wood, the Martial Artist in the middle stage of Transcending Mortal Realm whom he had faced in Martial Dao Sacred Land.

That was his first direct confrontation with a Transcending Mortal Realm Martial Artist since arriving at the Martial Dao Sacred Land; though his strength was not bad, he was far from being his match.

With just one encounter, he was defeated by Wyatt.

As Foresty Crawford faced the sword blossoms brought forth by Edward Watson’s tornado-like form, his expression also turned serious, and in his hands, a metal staff appeared.

Of course, it was not an ordinary staff but a medium-grade holy artifact of the human level.

"Hah!"

Suddenly, Foresty Crawford shouted, his staff vibrating in his hand, spun around rapidly, quickly turning like a windmill in front of him.

"Is this an attack or a defense technique?"

Seeing the staff swung by Foresty Crawford that breezed through the air, causing the void to tremble, Wyatt Barnes was also quite shocked.

Perhaps because of the strong gravity in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Wyatt Barnes noted that Foresty Crawford’s technique, which could have stirred up massive shockwaves in Cloud Skies Continent, was only causing rolling waves of air here.

And just at this moment, Edward Watson reached Foresty Crawford, with his sweeping sword blossoms pointing at Foresty.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

...

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Edward Watson’s body started to tremble, and by the end, his sword-holding hand shook, his palm split open, blood dripping plentifully.

At the same time, the sword in his hand was swept away by the staff in Foresty Crawford’s hand, clanging as it fell to the ground.

The next moment, the speed of the spinning staff in Foresty Crawford’s hand slowed, he stepped sideways, and his foot landed on Edward Watson, who hadn’t stabilized yet, kicking him flying out.
