Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 48: The Fisher’s Benefit

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Fisher’s Benefit

That night, after eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Wyatt Barnes returned to his room.

He poured a seven-treasure body tempering liquid into the bath, stripped off his clothes and sat in it, closing his eyes to begin cultivation.

"Nine Dragons War Sovereign - Spirit Snake Transformation!"

Greedily absorbing the medicinal power of the seven-treasure body tempering liquid, Wyatt could clearly feel the slow but steady strengthening of his blood and qi within his body, his flesh undergoing a transformation...

When the seven-treasure body tempering liquid was completely absorbed, Wyatt opened his eyes.

"What’s going on? I still haven’t managed to make a breakthrough."

With a frown, Wyatt looked puzzled.

In the past half a month, with every absorption of the medicinal power of the seven-treasure body tempering liquid, he could feel a transformation happening within his body.

However, every time he felt on the verge of making a breakthrough, he couldn’t.

"Could it have something to do with the method of Spirit Snake Transformation?"

Curious, Wyatt began to search through the memories of his former life as a Martial Emperor.

Soon, he found his answer!

"Damn!"

Wyatt couldn’t help but curse.

It turned out that in the first transformation of the self-created "Nine Dragons War Sovereign," the Martial Emperor had added a twist.

According to his theory.

Upon reaching the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm with the practice of Spirit Snake Transformation alone, one could possess the strength of three Ancient Giants!

That’s thirty thousand pounds of strength.

Being at the eight Level of Body Tempering Realm, Wyatt currently possesses seven thousand pounds of strength, which is two thousand pounds more than those of the same realm.

However, standing in the ninth level of Body Tempering Realm, he could possess thirty thousand pounds of strength!

A common practitioner at the ninth level of Body Tempering Realm has only ten thousand pounds of strength.

In other words, when Wyatt breaks through to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, his strength will be three times that of other martial artists in the same realm.

The strength of three Ancient Giants!

Common martial artists would only reach this level of strength at the second layer of Condensed Pill Realm, backed by their physical bodies and Origin Force.

"No wonder I’ve been unable to make a breakthrough. It turns out that it’s all because of the special ’Spirit Snake Transformation’ in ’Nine Dragons War Sovereign.’ It is the Spirit Snake Transformation that continuously induces the potential of my flesh body with the help of seven-treasure body tempering liquid, preparing me to possess the strength of three Ancient Giants when I break through to the ninth level of Body Tempering Realm."

Wyatt gave a bitter smile.

When could he break through this condition and get to the real deal?

Once he does, he would indeed be awesome!

The next day, early in the morning.

As soon as he stepped out of his room, Wyatt found his mother, Christina Lee, had prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

"Mother, is there a cause for celebration?"

Wyatt was a bit surprised.

"Wyatt, it seems you’ll truly need to start relying on Keer to protect you... She broke through to the ninth level of Body Tempering Realm last night."

Christina Lee teased, her eyes playfully narrowing.

"Really?!"

Wyatt was astounded.

"Young Master."

At this moment, Keer stepped out of her room.

The graceful girl seemed to have gained an additional hint of charm overnight.

"Keer, it looks like I’ll really be relying on your protection in the future."

Wyatt said, smiling affectionately.

The news of Keer’s breakthrough came as no surprise to Wyatt.

With the aid of the seven-treasure body tempering liquid and Thunderfire Elixir, given Keer’s talent, it was not surprising that she had made the breakthrough now.

After all, "Cold Ice Divine Sword Formula" wasn’t as unreasonable as "Nine Dragons War Sovereign..."

After having breakfast, Wyatt informed his mother and left the Lee mansion with Keer.

This time, he planned to spend a few days and nights in the Misty Forest with Keer for some intensive training.

"If only I had found out about the ’specialty’ of ’Spirit Snake Transformation’ of ’Nine Dragons War Sovereign’ earlier. And I even confidently challenged Sevyn Lee to a duel at the family martial meeting in half a month."

On the way to the Misty Forest, Wyatt smiled bitterly.

He had originally thought that he would definitely break through to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm before the family martial meeting.

Back then, he thought that after breaking through to the ninth level, he should be able to have about fifteen thousand pounds of strength, equivalent to one-and-a-half Ancient Giant’s strength.

Compared to Sevyn Lee, who was in the first layer of the Condensed Pill Realm, he would only be lacking a few thousand pounds of strength.

If he could surprise Sevyn, with the help of the "Sword Drawing Technique," he might even defeat him.

But now...

The ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm seemed far out of reach.

To possess the strength of three Ancient Giants, even with the aid of the seven-treasure body tempering liquid, would take at least half a year of accumulation.

"You really shouldn’t act arrogantly, or you’ll be smitten by lightning..."

Wyatt murmured to himself.

This time, he really shot himself in the foot.

"Young Master, what’s this about being smitten by lightning?"

The young girl looked at him curiously.

"Oh... it’s... it’s nothing..."

Wyatt gave an awkward smile.

This time, entering the Misty Forest was different from the last time since they were more familiar with the surroundings.

Hunting beasts along the way, by sundown, Wyatt and Keer had reached the inner parts of the Misty Forest.

The beasts in this area were extremely fierce. If not for Keer’s breakthrough to the ninth level of Body Tempering Realm, Wyatt wouldn’t dare bring her this deep into the forest.

"Spirit Snake Body Movement!"

"Sword Drawing Technique!"

Moving like a spirit snake, Wyatt’s soft sword hissed like a poisonous serpent, taking the life of a wild beast with each strike.

"Floating Slight Steps!"

Compared to Wyatt’s strange movements, Keer’s were much more graceful...

That night, Wyatt and Keer camped in the Misty Forest.

As a former elite soldier, living outdoors was a part and parcel of Wyatt’s life.

But it was quite different for Keer, being restless and unable to settle down until late into the night when she fell asleep listening to Wyatt’s stories.

Sitting against a tree trunk, looking at the sleeping girl, a smile crept up Wyatt’s face.

Perhaps life as it was now wasn’t so bad.

Early the next morning, Wyatt began to hear a clamor in the distance.

Seven people, five boys and two girls, were approaching from afar.

All of them were young, only seventeen or eighteen years old.

They also saw Wyatt Barnes and Keer. They were somewhat surprised, not expecting anyone younger than them to dare to spend the night in the Misty Forest.

Moreover, there were only two of them.

The gaze of the five boys fell on Keer, revealing a hint of heat.

The two girls showed a hint of envy when they looked at Keer.

"Should we ask them for help?"

When the seven of them approached Wyatt Barnes and Keer, a tall boy asked his companions.

"Are you crazy? Two more people means splitting two more shares. It’s just one Black Python. We seven people working together can easily kill it!"

A shorter, plumper boy frowned.

"Exactly, if you’re scared, you don’t have to go. We six will split it."

A girl dressed up in garish makeup and revealing clothes also said.

The tall boy fell silent.

The seven walked past Wyatt Barnes and Keer and went in the opposite direction.

"Black Python?"

Wyatt Barnes narrowed his eyes.

He searched the memories of the Martial Emperor.

Black Python, a fierce beast evolved from wild beasts, its strength was on par with a warrior of the Condensed Pill Realm.

It was said that wherever a black python lived, there would generally be treasures nurtured by the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth, either rare herbs, rare minerals, or spirit fruits.

"Keer, let’s follow them and see."

Heart stirred, Wyatt Barnes took Keer and discreetly followed the seven at a distance.

Soon, the seven entered the inner part of the Misty Forest.

The inner part of the Misty Forest was covered in pure white mist all year round, making the entire forest resemble a huge maze.

As they entered the inner part of the Misty Forest, the figures of the seven gradually faded.

"Damn, lost them."

Wyatt Barnes, who kept moving forward, frowned.

Boom!

At this moment, a loud noise came from not far to the left.

Wyatt Barnes and Keer silently went over.

They saw a spotted giant tiger battling with the seven on a field.

The spotted giant tiger was much larger than a regular wild tiger, and its strength was comparable to a First Level warrior of the Condensed Pill Realm, extremely fierce.

"Four at the Ninth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm... No wonder they dare to kill a Black Python."

Watching the ancient giant elephant shadows above the heads of the three boys and a girl from afar, Wyatt Barnes’s heart stirred.

In the end, at the cost of a Ninth Layer warrior getting seriously injured, the seven finally killed the spotted giant tiger.

After collecting the valuable parts and fur from the spotted giant tiger, the seven continued onwards.

Wyatt Barnes and Keer trailed behind from a distance.

At last, in front of a remote cave, the seven finally stopped.

"Is the Black Python inside?"

Wyatt Barnes hid with Keer in a big tree nearby, looking on from a distance.

Soon, Wyatt saw...

One of the seven threw a stone into the cave.

In an instant, a large figure swiftly darted out from the cave, it was a giant python whose body was as black as ink.

The Black Python was over ten meters long, its pair of eyes cold and sharp, and its tongue flicked out like lightning.

"Go!"

In an instant, the seven moved, heading straight for the Black Python, launching their full assault.

Whoosh!

The Black Python also moved, like black lightning. It thrashed its tail, sending a boy flying. The boy fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Damn, this Black Python is not just a first level of the Condensed Pill Realm, it’s more than that!"

Suddenly, the tall boy roared.

"Winter King, aim for its heart!"

The girl with heavy makeup looked at a boy wielding a sword, and sweetly shouted.

"You guys hold it off!"

The boy with the sword let out a low shout, waiting for an opportunity.

However, how could the speed of the Black Python be something they could hope to match...

Soon, another boy was bitten in the head by the Black Python with its wide open mouth. The scene was incredibly bloody.

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes remained unfazed.

However, Keer beside him turned somewhat pale, her delicate body trembling slightly.

"Young Master, should we help them?"

Keer’s eyes showed a hint of compassion.

"If we join in, they might think we want to get a share as well."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

Quickly, with the desperate assistance of the remaining five, the sword-wielding boy finally managed to thrust his sword into the Black Python’s heart.

However, it seemed that it was a bit off-target.

Boom!

The Black Python went berserk...

The remaining five, either bitten to death or sent flying by its tail.

Only when the last one had stopped making any sounds did the massive body of the Black Python thud onto the ground, its eyes revealing a hint of sadness.

Phew! Phew!

Wyatt Barnes descended with Keer, ready to reap the benefits.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes saw it.

The Black Python lifted its head and looked at him. Its pair of sharp eyes showed a hint of pleading.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback.

Suddenly.

The Black Python lifted its head and shook it towards the cave as if pleading for something.

Not until he entered the cave did Wyatt understand what the Black Python had been asking him for.

Inside the cave, in addition to three spirit fruits hanging on two peculiar plants, there were also two slightly cracked snake eggs that could hatch at any time...

There were three spirit fruits, two of which were small and identical, but the other one was slightly bigger and different.

"This is... Black Spirit Fruit!"

A memory from Martial Emperor flashed through his mind.

Looking at the slightly larger red fruit, Wyatt Barnes’s heart trembled, his face turning red.
