Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 554: Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Battle of Geniuses

"Your majesty is too kind."

Brendan Rowan nodded casually.

Even when facing the emperor of the Green Forest Royal Country, he remained calm and steady.

And the Emperor of the Green Forest Royal Country showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

The elderly man’s status was something even he had to tread carefully around.

Next, the gaze of the Green Forest Royal Country Emperor landed on Wyatt Barnes. He nodded and smiled at Wyatt, "Wyatt Barnes, since you defeated Young Master Blade and won the first place in the martial arts contest of the five major sects, making your name known throughout the Green Forest Royal Country... I have been paying attention to you."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, his face still calm, like a still ancient well.

As if the person standing before him was not the emperor of the Green Forest Royal Country, but just an ordinary person.

Seeing Wyatt’s reaction, the emperor was not angry but instead nodded in satisfaction.

Humble yet proud, truly extraordinary.

Soon, the emperor’s gaze fell on Walter Simmons, he smiled and said, "Although I have never heard of you before, since you are Wyatt’s friend and Young Master Blade’s elder martial brother, you must be no ordinary person."

"Today, you and Young Master Blade’s arrival has made the ’Battle of the Geniuses’ much more interesting... it even attracted me."

Originally, in the eyes of the emperor.

Out of the five spots, Wyatt, Young Master Mad, Young Master Sword, and Young Master Flame would each surely occupy one.

The remaining one would be filled from the remaining crowd.

In other words, the four people lead by Wyatt were nearly unshakable contenders.

As such, he was somewhat bored of the ’Battle of the Geniuses’.

But now, the emergence of Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons made him anticipate exciting scenes in the upcoming event.

The four masters of the five young masters.

Plus Wyatt and Walter.

These six, vying for five spots.

Among the six, each one was a peak martial arts genius of the Green Forest Royal Country.

The struggle between the six will undoubtedly be exciting.

Even he was interested.

The emperor’s words had just fallen.

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor also wants Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons to participate in the ’Battle of the Geniuses’."

"His Majesty the Emperor is truly wise, knowing how to choose the most outstanding five people."

"It seems that this time, we in the Green Forest Royal Country are likely to produce outstanding youths who will advance to the imperial standard."

...

Those present lowered their voices to converse in whispers.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Ford Bushell, the Supreme Elder of the Black Fiend Sect, respectfully greeted the emperor.

The Emperor glanced at Ford Bushell indifferently, "Who are you?"

Ford Bushell quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I am Ford Bushell, the Supreme Elder of the Black Fiend Sect."

"What is it?"

The Emperor asked, his tone tinged with impatience.

As the emperor of the Green Forest Royal Country, who controlled the most powerful force ’Imperial Family’.

Not to mention the Black Fiend Sect, a ’second-rate sect’, even the ’Green Forest Three Sects’ that have now merged together weren’t in his scope of concern.

The power of the Imperial Family was the most arrogantly supreme among the Green Forest Royal Country.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to dominate the entire Green Forest Royal Country.

In this world where Respect the Powerful is the rule, even the Imperial Family needs adequate power to govern a kingdom, a royal country, or even an empire and a dynasty.

Otherwise, it would have been overthrown long time ago.

"Your Majesty, there are some matters in the Black Fiend Sect that need my attention. I would like to take my disciples and leave first."

Ford Bushell said again.

Clearly, seeing the appearance of Young Master Blade and Walter Simmons now, Ford Bushell no longer pinned his hopes on Ron Ferguson.

The extent of Ron’s abilities was all too clear to him.

There’s no way to compare Ron with Wyatt, Walter, and the quadruplet of the five young masters.

"You may go."

The emperor nodded indifferently.

To him, the people of the Black Fiend Sect were dispensable.

"Yes."

Ford Bushell nodded respectfully, ordered Ron Ferguson to carry Charles Davidson’s body, and hurriedly left the palace.

His retreating figure seemed lonely and awkward.

Ron Ferguson of the Black Fiend Sect had officially withdrawn from the ’Battle of the Geniuses’.

With Ron’s departure, the remaining few people, including Titus Season, were somewhat restless.

"I quit."

Titus Season wisely resigned and stepped aside.

"Me too."

Jaxon Hawkins followed soon after.

The two of them, though they had broken through to the ’Peep Naught Realm First level’, had not yet fully comprehended ’Sword Move’.

Therefore, they wisely withdrew.

In their eyes.

If they were to stay, it would be purely for self-humiliation and discomfort.

"I quit."

Constant Graham, the young prince of Victory King, said with a grim expression.

For a moment, besides the six people including Wyatt, only Fairy Sinclair was left.

Fairy Sinclair didn’t speak, but she retired to one side.

She, with her actions, explained everything.

She, too, withdrew.

"Brother, will you come back?"

Fairy Sinclair, seeing that even Young Master Blade had appeared, looked hopefully towards the sky, saying some expectations.

However, until Millon Pond announced the start of the ’Battle of the Geniuses’, she didn’t see the figure of ’Mr. Zither’.

"Today’s ’Battle of the Geniuses’ will select the five strongest among the six of you and award them the five spots to the Emperor Stone Country..."

Millon Pond looked towards Wyatt and the other five, slowly saying, "This is your opportunity, the opportunity to make your name in Emperor Stone Country! I hope you won’t miss it."

Then, Millon Pond began to announce the rules, "Among the six of you, each of you will face five battles... Now, you can draw lots to get your own number ticket."

As Millon Pond was speaking, a box with a small slot appeared in his hand.

The small slot on the box was just the right size for an adult’s arm to extend into.

It was the ’draw box’.

"In there, there are tags numbered from 1 to 6... the person who draws tag number 1 can choose any of the others as their first target in the first duel of the ’Genius Battle’."

"The person who draws tag number 2 can choose any of the remaining three, except for the holder of tag number 1 and the person they challenge."

"The person who draws tag number 3 can choose anyone other than the holder of tag number 2 and the person they challenge"

"And so on..."

"The specific rule is that you can’t challenge the two people who competed in the previous duel, giving them space to rest."

Millon Pond slowly finished speaking.

The rule is not complicated.

Wyatt Barnes and his five companions quickly grasped it.

Then it was time to draw the tags.

Wyatt Barnes drew tag number 3.

Handmi Holland drew tag number 1.

Flame Graham drew tag number 2.

Kase Dragonsmith drew tag number 4.

Alfonso Rowan drew tag number 5.

Walter Simmons drew tag number 6.

The first duel was initiated by the holder of tag number 1, who was Young Master Sword, ’Handmi Holland.’

Under the gaze of everyone’s eyes, Handmi Holland’s gaze swept over Wyatt Barnes and the others.

He didn’t linger on Wyatt Barnes nor Alfonso Rowan.

In the end, Handmi Holland set his target.

"I challenge the holder of tag number 2, Young Master Flame!"

Handmi Holland’s gaze fell on Flame Graham, his body radiating a fighting spirit.

Young Master Flame held the second rank among the five masters present.

Out of the four people present, besides Alfonso Rowan, he was the other one who sat above him in rank.

"Hmph! Young Master Sword, it won’t be easy to walk over me and advance."

Flame Graham sneered and said.

"Whether it’s easy or not, we won’t know until we try,"

Handmi Holland glanced at Flame Graham and said calmly.

"Since you’re asking for humiliation, I will fulfil your wish,"

Flame Graham took a step forward, Origin Force surging around him and squared off against Handmi Holland.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone present fell on the two of them.

Young Master Sword duelling Young Master Flame.

Most people held their breath.

Whoosh!

With the Origin Force surging in Flame Graham, above the void, the ancient illusion of six thousand elephants took form, appearing so lifelike...

"Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level?"

Wyatt Barnes furrowed his brows.

He still remembered that half a month ago, he had assessed Flame Graham’s cultivation level using his spiritual power.

At that time, Flame Graham was only at the ’Peep Naught Realm Third Level’.

Just half a month later, Flame Graham had broken through?

Wyatt Barnes could tell that even the Emperor of Royal Country Green Forest, Flame Graham’s father, was surprised.

It was clear; he had just learned that his son had broken through to the ’Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level.’

"Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level!"

Alfonso Rowan’s complexion slightly changed, and he shivered inside, "Young Master Sword is in danger."

"Young Master Sword, I will show you that even if you have comprehended ’Half-step Micro Sword Move,’ and I haven’t grasped the ’Half-step Micro Water Move,’ I can still crush you, a Peep Naught Realm Third Level martial artist, with my Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level cultivation!"

Flame Graham’s words were extremely arrogant.

Apparently, he knew everything about Handmi Holland.

"Peep Naught Realm Third Level?"

Who knew, but instead of worry, Handmi Holland laughed when he heard Flame Graham’s words.

Whoosh!

With Handmi Holland’s laughter, Origin Force surged within him.

Above the void, the same ’six thousand ancient elephant illusion’ appeared...

"Young Master Sword has also broken through to the ’Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level’!"

Suddenly, the crowd watching went into an uproar.

"This guy..."

Both Wyatt Barnes and Alfonso Rowan were a bit taken aback when they saw this.

Neither of them had expected that Young Master Sword had also broken through!

"Yesterday, he was still at the ’Peep Naught Realm Third Level’... Did he break through overnight?"

Wyatt Barnes murmured in shock.

He remembered that yesterday, his spiritual power had subtly swept over Handmi Holland, confirming that Handmi Holland was still a Peep Naught Realm Third Level martial artist.

Over just one night, Handmi Holland had broken through to the ’Peep Naught Realm Fourth Level.’

It was stunning.

"You... you also broke through!"

Flame Graham’s face changed.

The breakthrough of Young master Sword meant that he couldn’t suppress the latter through Origin Force any longer.

Not only that.

Young Master Sword had already comprehended the ’Half-step Micro Sword Move.’

When it came to the comprehension of ’Force,’ he was not as good as Young Master Sword.

Whoosh!

No matter how ugly Flame Graham’s face looked, Young master Sword had made the first move.

He moved fast as a gust of wind, in a blink, he appeared in front of Flame Graham.

Whoosh!

With a thrust of the sword, it moved as if divinely aided, its momentum was overwhelming.

"Hmph!"

Flame Graham snorted coldly, having made up his mind in his heart.

He was going to use his fifth-grade Spirit Weapon to defeat Young Master Sword.

In his view.

The immense power bestowed upon him by his fifth-grade Spirit Weapon was enough to squash the combined force of Young Master Sword’s Spirit Sword and the ’Half-step Micro Sword Move.’
