Chapter 553: Chapter 553: The Emperor of Green Forest Royal Country

"Indeed, it’s been a long time..."

Wyatt Barnes snapped back to reality, keeping a calm facade. But in his eyes, a tinge of excitement was hinted.

"Walter Simmons, I never thought our paths would cross in such a place."

After a while, Wyatt Barnes lets out a melancholic sigh.

Walter Simmons!

The red-headed young man who appeared now, was no ordinary person.

He was the ’friend’ Wyatt Barnes made in Crimson Heaven Royal Country years ago.

Wyatt Barnes still remembered the first time he met Walter Simmons, in the Iron Blood Army Base in Iron Blood City.

At that time, one could say Simmons was the strongest young prodigy beneath him.

Later, Simmons and he jointly entered the ’Sacred Martial Arts Academy’ in Crimson Heaven Royal Country’s Imperial City, thereby establishing a profound friendship.

And then, Simmons was forced to depart by the Grand Elder of the Simmons Clan, disappearing without a trace!

Wyatt Barnes never imagined.

His reunion with Simmons, unexpectedly, would be here in the Imperial Palace of Green Forest Royal Country.

Moreover, Simmons now possessed such a shocking level of cultivation...

This was beyond Wyatt Barnes’s expectations.

Wyatt Barnes could guess.

During these years, Simmons must have gone through some ’great adventures’!

Otherwise, such significant changes wouldn’t be possible.

"Walter Simmons?"

Watching how familiar Wyatt Barnes and the red-headed young man were, and their seemingly good relationship, those present were astonished.

At the same time, they learned the name of the red-headed young man.

Turns out, this extraordinary young man was named ’Walter Simmons’!

"Walter Simmons? Have any of you ever heard of this person?"

"No! Never heard of him before today."

"When did our Green Forest Royal Country produce such a figure? Not only Young Master Blade recognizes him; even Wyatt Barnes knows him."

"Wyatt Barnes appears to be very familiar with him."

...

The onlookers murmured amongst themselves.

Next thing they knew.

The crowd witnessed in shock.

Whoosh!

In a lift of Simmons’s hand, a banknote of ten thousand tael denomination appeared.

As Simmons lifted his hand, the banknote flew out and landed at Wyatt Barnes’s feet.

"What is Simmons up to?"

The onlookers were stupefied.

Why was Simmons giving money to Wyatt Barnes?

"Haha..."

Wyatt Barnes caught the banknote with a laugh, readily pocketed it, and said, "Walter Simmons, it’s been many years. I didn’t expect you would still remember."

Back then, Simmons borrowed a million taels of silver from him due to the pressure from the Grand Elder of the Simmons clan.

A million taels of silver were equivalent to ten thousand taels of gold.

Now, Simmons was merely repaying his past debts.

"Of course, I remember."

Simmons smiled. Excitement filled his eyes, "Wyatt Barnes, how have you been these years?"

"Good."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, "And you?"

"I’m doing well."

Simmons also nodded, then sighed, "I guessed that I could potentially run into you at the ’Genius Competition’ in the Imperial Palace of Green Forest Royal Country today...and as expected."

Wyatt Barnes smiled, "your appearance was a bit unexpected to me."

"Wyatt Barnes, who is this?"

Vice Dean Pond questioned Wyatt Barnes.

Vice Dean Pond’s question echoed the thoughts of others present.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze rested on Wyatt Barnes.

Even Young Master Blade, ’Kase Dragonsmith’, looked at Wyatt Barnes with a slight frown, "How does Wyatt Barnes know this Walter Simmons guy?"

To Kase, Simmons always seemed so aloof.

Even towards him, Simmons was seemingly dismissive.

However, in front of Wyatt Barnes, this usually impassive Simmons seemed like a different person.

"Vice Dean Pond, this is my friend. We both come from the same country."

Wyatt Barnes said to Vice Dean Pond.

"I see."

Vice Dean Pond suddenly realized. His eyes flashed, and he said, "I didn’t expect that besides you and the five young masters within our Green Forest Royal Country, there’s such a talented person..."

"You flatter me."

Simmons nodded at Vice Dean Pond, his face regaining its usually cool expression.

"Turns out this Simmons fellow is from the same country as Wyatt Barnes?"

"It seems our Green Forest Royal Country certainly has hidden talents."

"Indeed, his abilities don’t seem to be inferior to those of the five young masters."

...

The crowd sighed in admiration.

Of course, some people didn’t look particularly pleased.

These people were like Ron Ferguson, who was preparing to contest for the last quota spot.

However, the appearance of Kase and Simmons made them feel powerless.

"Damn it!"

Constant Graham’s face darkened, "It turns out that he is Wyatt Barnes’s friend... At this time, is it not intentional to cause trouble? And Young Master Blade, Kase Dragonsmith, he could have appeared late or not appeared at all, but instead chose to appear now."

Originally, Constant Graham was hopeful that he could secure a spot for himself.

But when Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith appeared, he knew that he was doomed to be denied the five spots.

"I never expected Young Master Blade to arrive just in time, making today’s competition of geniuses worth watching."

"And Walter Simmons, who among the Peep Naught Realm martial artists, only ranks higher than Wyatt Barnes and is younger than the others... Most importantly, he is Young Master Blade’s senior!"

"It’s clear that Young Master Blade is somewhat wary of Walter Simmons, obviously wary of his capabilities."

"This Walter Simmons is no ordinary person!"

"Initially, we thought that Wyatt Barnes, Young Master Mad, Young Master Sword, and Young Master Flame could secure four spots. Now with Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons as variables, things might change."

"This is going to be exciting."

...

The young prodigies below the Peep Naught Realm, from various influences, seemed to enjoy the chaos.

For them.

Regardless of whether Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons appear today, they have no chance of securing the five spots.

Now, the appearance of Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons is just what they were hoping for, and it makes them even happier.

Because this means that today’s contest of geniuses will be even more exciting!

That’s what they want to see.

"Sacrificial Officer Pond!"

Suddenly, Victory King stepped forward and looked at Millon Pond, speaking in a deep voice, "Both Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons didn’t go through the ’gate’ of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. Isn’t it inappropriate for them to participate directly in the ’contest of geniuses’?"

The words of Victory King relaxed Ron Ferguson and others a bit.

But those juniors who wanted to watch the commotion frowned and looked concerned.

They were genuinely worried that the royal family would expel ’Young Master Blade’ and ’Walter Simmons’ and not allow them to participate in the ’contest of geniuses’.

If so, they would undoubtedly be somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, all eyes were on Millon Pond.

"Erik Walton, what do you think?"

Millon Pond looked at the old man next to him and asked.

This old man, who had come with Millon Pond, stood quietly at his side, eyes closed in meditation, without speaking.

Now, as Millon Pond asked, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

The old man glanced at Victory King and then said: "The Dragon Phoenix Academy is actually just a formality. The goal of this ’contest of geniuses’ is to unearth the outstanding young talents in the Royal Country and on the road to the ’Ten Dynasty Martial Arts Meeting’!"

"This is the original intention of the ’contest of geniuses’! As long as they’re capable of earning one of the five spots, even the emperor might not object."

The old man’s words were reasonable and justified.

Making many people in the audience admire him.

Victory King frowned, "Sacrificial Officer Walton, shouldn’t we ask for my royal brother’s opinion on this matter?"

"No need!"

Almost the instant Victory King’s voice fell, there came a loud voice from a distance.

Everyone present saw.

A middle-aged man in dragon robes was flying in the sky.

Following the middle-aged man in dragon robes was an old man who followed him like a shadow, standing there, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

"Enter Void Realm Five! Enter Void Realm Six!"

Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows.

His spiritual force instantly probed the cultivation of the two men.

The middle-aged man in dragon robes at the forefront was a ’Enter Void Realm Five’ martial artist.

The old man behind him was an ’Enter Void Realm Six’ presence.

Presumably, he was one of the five Sacrificial Officers of the Royal Family of the Royal Country.

As for the middle-aged man in dragon robes.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The crowd in the audience bowed to the middle-aged man in dragon robes, with many people bowing deeply, their heads almost touching the ground.

Only Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, and Chairman Rowan stood tall among the crowd.

"Emperor of the Royal Country!"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the middle-aged man in dragon robes in front of him, his eyes flickered with light.

He was somewhat curious about the emperor of a regal country.

"In terms of strength, the one from Crimson Heaven Country is far inferior to this one."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

The emperor of Crimson Heaven Country was just a common ’Peep Naught Realm martial artist’.

However, this Emperor of the Royal Country was a terrifying existence in the ’Enter Void Realm Five’.

There was a world of difference in strength between the two.

"How audacious!"

At this moment, a thunderous voice sounded in Wyatt Barnes’s ear.

It was Victory King, glaring coldly at Wyatt Barnes and Walter Simmons, saying coldly: "Wyatt Barnes, Walter Simmons, why don’t you bow when you see His Majesty the Emperor? Is it because you think His Majesty is not worthy of your salute?"

It had to be said that Victory King’s charge against Wyatt Barnes and Walter Simmons was indeed ’ferocious’.

Wyatt Barnes frowned, then said indifferently, "Victory King, His Majesty hasn’t said anything yet, and you’re already yelling here. Isn’t that disrespectful to His Majesty?"

"You!!"

Victory King’s face darkened, and he shouted: "Wyatt Barnes, don’t try to change the subject!"

"Am I changing the subject?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed, intending to continue to retort.

At this moment, Chairman Rowan, standing aside, spoke up, "Victory King, I think Elder Brother Ling Tian is right. His Majesty hasn’t said anything yet, so why are you so anxious? Are you trying to take revenge?"

Due to Wyatt Barnes’s prior instructions.

So, in front of others, Chairman Rowan didn’t refer to Wyatt Barnes as ’master’.

Chairman Rowan’s defense of Wyatt Barnes caught Victory King by surprise.

For Chairman Rowan, he both feared and respected him.

Now, he didn’t dare to respond.

"Chairman Rowan."

The middle-aged man in dragon robes, who was the Emperor of the Royal Country, looked at Chairman Rowan and smiled, "Long time no see, you’re still in good health."
