Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 424 ’Taboo

Chapter 424: Chapter 424 ’Taboo

Soon, the dishes were served.

Wyatt Barnes nibbled on a bit of food, then focused his attention on how Little Gold Mouse was wolfing down its food...

Although the little fellow didn’t seem that big, it was a real ’glutton’.

This attracted a lot of amazed exclamations from many people in the restaurant.

Suddenly, Wyatt heard a discussion beside him:

"Let’s finish quickly, and we can still make it to the City Lord’s daughter’s ’martial arts contest for marriage’ to see the excitement!"

"The City Lord’s daughter is so strong, not to mention young talents under 25... even in our Black Stone Empire, there may be few under 30 who can match her."

"Today is the last day of the contest for marriage, almost all the young talents in and around Phoenix Perch City have gathered... But in my opinion, even on this last day, I fear no one will be able to defeat the City Lord’s daughter and become the City Lord’s son-in-law."

"The City Lord’s requirements are too high. Under 25, and must beat his daughter... such people, even throughout the Black Stone Empire, let alone the Great Turdo Dynasty, are likely to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns."

...

The two who were discussing hurriedly finished their meals and left.

Martial arts contest for marriage?

Wyatt Barnes laughed, not expecting to encounter this scenario that only appeared in martial arts novels in his previous life.

Shortly after, a few more people entered the restaurant, walking and sighing.

"The City Lord’s daughter, we have no idea what cultivation level she is at. Today, a young man of about 24 or 25, at Original Infant Realm 4th layer, was even defeated by her..."

"That young man was the strongest of all who have so far participated in the contest for marriage... I didn’t expect him to be defeated by the City Lord’s daughter in one go! The City Lord’s daughter, the stronger the opponent she faces, the stronger she becomes. It seems till now she has yet to reveal her full strength."

"Looks like no one will get the beauty in the end."

"Beauty? As far as I know, the City Lord’s daughter wears a veil all day... Have you ever seen her true face? We don’t even know if she’s a beauty or a plain woman."

"What if she was plain? Being able to become the City Lord’s son-in-law and get the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity."

...

Soul Shedding Fruit?

Wyatt Barnes was not particularly heartened, but upon hearing someone mention the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’, his face changed and he jumped up.

"Excuse me."

Wyatt Barnes looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken, and politely asked, "Did you just mention the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’?"

Seeing Wyatt being so polite, the middle-aged man nodded and said calmly, "Yes, it is indeed the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’! How come, young man, you’re interested in the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’?"

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded and then asked, "I heard you say earlier that there’s a way to get the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "That’s right. The City Lord has held a ’martial arts contest for marriage’ for his unmarried daughter for the past ten days, and today is the last day... Whoever can defeat the City Lord’s daughter in this contest, not only can he become the City Lord’s son-in-law, but also get the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’."

"That Soul Shedding Fruit is said to be a good thing... If it is consumed by a inscription master, it can even elevate your spiritual force by one level."

The middle-aged man looked Wyatt up and down when he said this, "Young man, judging by your age, you are probably a little older than the City Lord’s daughter... However, I would advise you to give up this idea. Although you meet the requirements for participating in the City Lord’s daughter’s contest for marriage, she has manifested the cultivation of the 5th layer of the Original Infant Realm. And, it seems she is still holding back."

"Thank you."

Wyatt Barnes thanked the middle-aged man, left some money, took Little Gold Mouse, and left the restaurant in a hurry.

"Brother Wyatt, I haven’t finished eating..."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Little Gold Mouse’s Origin Force induced voice.

"I’ll let you eat your fill later, right now I have some urgent matters to attend to." Wyatt hurriedly responded.

After leaving the restaurant, Wyatt Barnes asked a passer-by about the location of the City Lord’s daughter’s martial arts contest for marriage and hurried over.

What the City Lord’s son-in-law? He has zero interest in that.

What he is interested in is that ’Soul Shedding Fruit’!

If ordinary spiritual fruits are considered rare for martial artists,

Well, the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’ is even rarer!

The Soul Shedding Fruit is a type of fruit that can elevate the level of the soul. Among the many spiritual fruits in the Cloud Skies Continent, its proportion does not exceed one percent.

"Although my cultivation has improved a lot... my spiritual force seems to have completely hit a bottleneck and has been unable to breakthrough to the ’Peep Naught Realm’."

The martial arts contest for marriage takes place in front of the Main Mansion.

When Wyatt Barnes arrived at the contest platform, his mind was in a whirl.

His spiritual force has long reached the critical point between the ’Original Infant Realm’ and ’Peep Naught Realm’, but it has been unable to break through.

Because of this, he was helpless.

But now, he saw a glimmer of hope.

"If there really is a ’Soul Shedding Fruit’, once I get it and ingest it, my soul will metamorphose, elevate to the next level, Peep Naught Realm! At that time, my spiritual force will strengthen once again allowing me to inscribe even higher-level inscriptions."

Thinking of this, Wyatt Barnes was extremely excited.

Although in the memories of Martial Emperor’s reincarnation, there are many powerful inscriptions.

However, with Wyatt’s limited spiritual force, he is unable to inscribe those powerful inscriptions.

It was like having a treasure mountain but no tools to mine it.

This feeling had always bothered Wyatt Barnes.

"A martial arts competition for marriage proposal? How fun... Brother Wyatt, are you going to marry the City Lord’s daughter? Aren’t you afraid that Sister Keer and Sister Jovie will be angry?"

Little Gold’s voice was filled with excitement due to his Origin Force, stirring up trouble towards the end.

Wyatt Barnes glared at Little Gold, "I have no interest in the City Lord’s daughter...I’m only interested in the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’."

Generally, spiritual fruits are things one can come across but not seek after, having value but not a market.

As for the Soul Shedding Fruit, which contributes less than one percent of all spiritual fruits and helps enhance one’s soul, it’s even harder to find.

Now that Wyatt Barnes has come across it, he won’t miss the opportunity.

Very soon, Wyatt Barnes arrived at his destination.

In front of the City Lord’s Mansion, there was a giant platform standing firmly. It was very spacious.

It was the ’ring’ for the martial arts competition for marriage proposal.

Near the ring, crowds were surging, cheers echoed in waves.

"The martial arts competition for marriage proposal lasts for ten days. Today is the last day... Among the dozens of cities in our region, including Phoenix Perch City, no one under the age of twenty-five has been a match for the City Lord’s daughter."

"The City Lord’s daughter, I heard, is only twenty...noble and mysterious in her skills which are just too shocking! So far, people have only seen her display power at the fifth level of the Original Infant Realm."

"Yes, even so, she seems to be holding back."

In front of the City Lord’s Mansion, opinions were varied among the crowd.

At this moment, up on the ring for the martial arts competition.

The mysterious City Lord’s daughter stood tall and slim. Under a fiery red gauze dress, her very delicate and charming figure was perfectly highlighted, stirring up various fantasies.

On the face of the City Lord’s daughter, a red veil covered it, with only her autumn water-like eyes exposed, and long hair hanging down like willow branches dancing gently in the wind.

Even though in the crowd, she maintained an overall feeling of tranquility.

"Though I can’t see her face, her demeanor is enough to captivate...any woman with such demeanor, can’t be unattractive under the veil."

Wyatt Barnes was shocked.

When it came to demeanor, among the women Wyatt knew, few could compare to this City Lord’s daughter.

Out of curiosity, Wyatt Barnes extended out his spiritual force, attempting to probe the depth of this City Lord’s daughter.

Based on the information he gathered.

The City Lord’s daughter, only twenty years old, had extraordinary skills.

So far, she had displayed power at the fifth level of the Original Infant Realm, but she seemed to be holding back.

"I thought my own cultivation was pretty fast... which can be considered top-notch in the Green Forest Royal Country. Yet here in this remote city of the Emperor Stone country, I encountered a ’martial arts genius’ who cultivates even faster than me."

While Wyatt Barnes’s spiritual force was roaming, he couldn’t help sighing.

If the cultivation skills of this City Lord’s daughter were not piled up through using spiritual fruits,

In terms of talent, she was definitely not inferior to him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes was taken aback before he could even touch the City Lord’s daughter with his spiritual force.

The reason was because, at this moment, a much more powerful spiritual force, as if having detected his own presence, was surging towards him...

"An Inscription Master!"

Wyatt Barnes’s muscles tensed, he had never thought that there would be such a powerful Inscription Master by the City Lord’s daughter’s side.

This Inscription Master’s spiritual force was far stronger than his!

Immediately, Wyatt Barnes didn’t dare to hesitate and quickly withdrew his spiritual force.

The powerful spiritual force seemed not to mind Wyatt Barnes and didn’t pursue him anymore as he retreated his spiritual force.

"Luckily he showed mercy, otherwise, my soul would’ve been damaged!"

Wyatt Barnes was scared, at the same time realizing his recklessness.

According to the memories of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation.

He was well aware that even an Inscription Master wouldn’t dare to use their spiritual force to probe others lightly.

This was ’taboo’.

However, along his journey, he hadn’t met any powerful Inscription Masters, so he had ignored part of the Martial Emperor of Reincarnation’s memory about the taboo.

Now, having left the Green Forest Royal Country, he encountered a truly powerful ’Inscription Master’ in the Emperor Stone country.

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze started to scan over the crowd, wanting to find out who the owner of that powerful spiritual force was...

Yet, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t trace the person.

That person seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

"Could this Inscription Master also be here for the ’Soul Shedding Fruit’?"

Wyatt Barnes felt a sense of unease welling up in his heart.
