Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1404: 93 Points Score

Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: 93 Points Score

"The person with the highest score in today’s test is ’Baer Bear,’ who obtained a total of 36 points. The second-highest is ’Ingot Gold,’ with a total of 32 points."

In the Council Hall, the Heavenly Guard spoke out loud.

As soon as the voice of the Heavenly Guard fell, gazes fell upon Baer Bear and Ingot Gold.

"It is no wonder they are ranked second and third amongst the thirteen guardians, each taking first and second place in today’s test."

Many people sighed in admiration.

"The two of them will become the disciples of the City Lord."

Even more people showed faces full of envy.

Of course, there were also some who showed bitter smiles and helplessness.

Baer Bear smiled, very pleased with himself.

Though Ingot Gold was not as exaggerated as Baer Bear, the curve of his mouth was enough to show how delighted he was.

"From today onwards, Baer Bear and Ingot Gold will become my disciples."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City said.

But his gaze subliminally swept over Wyatt Barnes, filled with a tinge of disappointment.

Because the City Lord of Hill Mountain City had said early on that he would only accept the top two performers of today’s test as disciples... Hence, the Heavenly Guard did not announce the ranks and scores of the others.

As the City Lord of Hill Mountain City spoke, gazes once again fell upon Baer Bear and Ingot Gold, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"For the rest, I will have your scores recorded and passed to the ’Hall of Merit’. You can collect the corresponding merit points for the scores you obtained today in three days."

The Heavenly Guard looked towards Wyatt Barnes and the others, saying.

At that moment, the spirits of the people were once again lifted.

"One point of score is worth a hundred merit points... I have eight points of score, which can be exchanged for eight hundred merit points, hehe."

A mid-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Martial Artist among the thirteen guardians chuckled.

"I have one more point of score than you. That’s worth nine hundred merit points."

Another mid-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Martial Artist also laughed.

"Heavenly Guard, Baer Bear, and Ingot Gold will stay... The rest, return to the Hidden Dragon Camp."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City spoke indifferently, his voice spreading throughout the entire Council Hall.

Just as people were shaking their heads in resignation, preparing to leave, a figure stepped forward and said to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, "My Lord, all the scores of our three-person team were obtained by Wyatt Barnes alone."

"I request that our team’s score be entirely attributed to Wyatt Barnes."

The person speaking to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City with a bowed posture was ’Jemma Clifford’.

In her opinion, had it not been for the points Wyatt Barnes earned by killing the bandits being shared with her and Edward Watson, Baer Bear would not have been today’s top scorer.

"Jemma Clifford."

Wyatt Barnes frowned, not expecting Jemma Clifford to explain on his behalf.

"Yes, My Lord. All of the scores were solely obtained by Wyatt Barnes... I am unworthy of them."

Edward Watson clenched his teeth and also stood out.

Although he was eager for the merit points, it was difficult for him to just watch as Wyatt got ’eliminated’ without feeling uneasy.

In his eyes,

Wyatt Barnes was the most qualified to become the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s disciple out of everyone present today.

"Hmph! The rules were clearly set by the City Lord himself early on. Do you think this is child’s play? Do you really think the City Lord would believe your claim that Wyatt Barnes obtained all the scores by himself?"

Jan Clark scornfully mocked.

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City sat at the leading seat and remained silent; perhaps he didn’t hear what Jemma Clifford and Edward Watson said, or perhaps he simply didn’t care to pay them any heed.

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brow, called out to Jemma Clifford and Edward Watson, and then was the first to turn around and leave the Council Hall.

He hadn’t expected Jemma Clifford and Edward Watson to make such a move.

He had absolutely no interest in becoming the City Lord’s disciple.

Seeing that the City Lord of Hill Mountain City ignored them, Jemma Clifford and Edward Watson exchanged a bitter smile and then had no choice but to follow Wyatt Barnes and leave.

However, in their hearts, they were already filled with regret for having joined the test with Wyatt Barnes and having held him back.

The others followed and left the Council Hall.

"That Jemma Clifford, thinking that saying a few words could make Wyatt Barnes become a disciple under the City Lord? How ludicrous!"

Foresty Crawford sneered coldly.

"Thinking they could use their earned scores to push Wyatt Barnes ’up the ranks’... It’s laughable they had the nerve to say that"

Fenny Graham said disdainfully.

"Wyatt Barnes, I’m sorry... it’s my fault for dragging you down."

On the way back to the Hidden Dragon Camp, Jemma Clifford apologized to Wyatt Barnes.

"The one who should be saying ’sorry’ is me... I didn’t expect that our scores wouldn’t even rank us second."

Wyatt Barnes sighed.

In one aspect, he had miscalculated.

He didn’t realize that the bandit in Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm was the last one.

Starting from their entrance into the valley, sweeping through and including the killing of the Small Perfection Transcending Mortal Realm bandit, he had earned a total of 93 score points... Divided into three parts, each person would have 31 points.

And, Ingot Gold, ranked second among the thirteen guardians, happened to have 32 points, one more than each of the three of them.

"We together have only 73 score points. Divided into three parts, each person has only 24 points, which is a substantial distance from ’second place’."

Edward Watson chuckled bitterly.

Neither he nor Jemma Clifford knew about Wyatt Barnes killing the Small Perfection Transcending Mortal Realm bandit.

However, Wyatt Barnes didn’t plan to explain.

In three days, when Edward Watson and Jemma Clifford exchange their score points for merit points, they would naturally come to know all of this.

"I believe sooner or later, the City Lord will find out about you getting those 73 points all by yourself," Jemma Clifford said. "Throughout our journey, one of the two thirty-six guards hiding in the shadows and protecting us witnessed you in action and knows that you alone earned those 73 points."

"If the City Lord learns about all this, he will surely take you in as a disciple by exception," Jemma Clifford added, only now realizing this possibility.

During the meeting in the Council Hall, her emotions got the better of her, which is why she spoke so abruptly to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

Just as Jan Clark said.

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City might not believe her words.

Only when the words come from the thirty-six guards will the City Lord trust them.

"That’s correct," Edward Watson nodded in agreement with Jemma Clifford’s words.

Wyatt Barnes shrugged his shoulders, with an indifferent expression on his face.

If there was anything he regretted, it wasn’t that he missed the chance to become the disciple of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, but rather that he missed the chance to repay Jemma Clifford for her kindness.

He had already made up his mind.

If, as Jemma Clifford and Edward Watson had mentioned, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City wanted to take him on as a disciple by exception, he would definitely seize the opportunity to repay Jemma Clifford’s kindness.

Not long after, Wyatt Barnes and his companions returned to the Dragon Hiding Camp and went back to their respective wooden huts.

After Wyatt Barnes and his companions returned, Jan Clark, Foresty Crawford, Fenny Graham, and others also arrived one after another.

"Baer Bear and Ingot Gold have become disciples of the City Lord?"

The other members of the Dragon Hiding Camp were not surprised by this result.

Council Hall.

After Baer Bear and Ingot Gold completed their ceremony of acknowledging the City Lord of Hill Mountain City as their master, they stood respectfully to one side.

Their master had not dismissed them, and they did not dare to leave on their own.

"How many merit points did Wyatt Barnes and Jemma Clifford earn together?" the City Lord of Hill Mountain City asked, turning his gaze to the Heavenly Guard.

For a moment, both Baer Bear and Ingot Gold also looked at the Heavenly Guard, their gazes filled with a blend of curiosity.

In their eyes, Wyatt Barnes was doubtlessly an astonishing talent.

They too were eager to know how many merit points the group that included such a prodigy had acquired.

"93 points."

The Heavenly Guard’s mouth twitched slightly before he finally said, under the gaze of the three.

points?

As soon as the Heavenly Guard finished speaking, Baer Bear and Ingot Gold were stunned. It took them a moment before they could gasp in shock, their faces revealing astonishment and disbelief.

"93 points? Are you sure there’s been no mistake?" asked the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, furrowing his brows.

"No mistake," the Heavenly Guard replied. "Originally, they had acquired 73 points... but because that outlaw at the Small Perfection stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm died at the hands of Wyatt Barnes, they ended up with 93 points."

"Divided equally, that’s 31 points per person."

As he spoke, the Heavenly Guard glanced at Ingot Gold, seemingly conveying to him how precarious his ’result’ was, almost slipping away from becoming the ’second’ in today’s trial.

However, Ingot Gold failed to notice the Heavenly Guard’s gaze.

He was completely stunned.

"That outlaw at Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm died by the hands of Wyatt Barnes?"

At that moment, whether it was Ingot Gold or Baer Bear, the words spoken by Ingot Gold earlier reverberated in their minds, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.

"Was what Jemma Clifford just said true?" the City Lord of Hill Mountain City asked again.

At this moment, both Baer Bear and Ingot Gold, temporarily suppressing their agitated emotions, turned their gaze towards the Heavenly Guard once more.

They remembered that Jemma Clifford had said earlier that all the merit points earned by their three-person team had been acquired by Wyatt Barnes alone.

They had not known the total points earned by the team, but now that they did, a shiver ran through them. "Did Wyatt Barnes alone really earn 93 points?"

They felt their heartbeats accelerating like never before, as if their hearts might jump out of their chests at any moment.

"It’s true," the Heavenly Guard nodded, confirming this.

He too had been shocked when he first learned of this... but upon finding out that Wyatt Barnes had killed the outlaw at Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm, he became numb.

Wyatt Barnes was someone who could not be judged by common sense.

This was his recognition of ’Wyatt Barnes’.

"One person, gaining 93 merit points... With the martial prowess of the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, he killed an outlaw at Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm?" murmured the City Lord of Hill Mountain City to himself, his eyes filling with intense fervor as he spoke.

Baer Bear and Ingot Gold exchanged glances, seeing shock and disbelief reflected in each other’s eyes.

At some point, a bitter smile had appeared on their lips.

"Both of you may leave for now... Ask Wyatt Barnes to come to the Council Hall; tell him I am waiting for him," the City Lord of Hill Mountain City soon instructed Baer Bear and Ingot Gold.

"Yes, Sir," the two responded respectfully and immediately left the Council Hall, hurrying back to the Dragon Hiding Camp.

"Wyatt Barnes, the Master wants you to come to the Council Hall," declared Baer Bear and Ingot Gold, who had become the focus of most Dragon Hiding Camp members, as they sent their True Energy-infused voice into wooden hut number six, where Wyatt Barnes stayed.
