Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 578: The Number One Young Talent of the Empire?

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: The Number One Young Talent of the Empire?

It’s no wonder Wyatt Barnes misjudged.

Those two Peep Naught Realm Level Nine demon beasts were evenly matched.

According to the survival rules of demon beasts, unless there was a dispute over some ’treasure’, two demon beasts of equal strength would generally not fight to the death.

"I can only check it out when I have time later."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"I’m glad you arrived in time."

Handmi Holland sighed in relief.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

The next moment, out of curiosity, Wyatt Barnes extended his mental energy, examining the cultivation levels of the three people beside him.

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes was shocked, looking toward Walter Simmons with astonishment.

Heavens!

What did he find?

Walter Simmons had broken into the ’Peep Naught Realm Level Nine’!

"I thought that my breakthrough to the ’Peep Naught Realm Level Seven’ would allow me to catch up with Walter in cultivation...I didn’t expect him to do the same as me and make a three-level breakthrough."

Wyatt Barnes was internally shocked.

Meanwhile, the improvement in Alfonso Rowan’s and Handmi Holland’s cultivation also surprised him...

Peep Naught Realm Level Six.

Both made a two-level breakthrough.

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes’ gaze swept over to ’Young Master Blade’, Kase Dragonsmith.

"Peep Naught Realm Level Eight!"

Wyatt Barnes exclaimed in surprise.

Kase Dragonsmith’s progress was almost on par with Walter Simmons.

"It seems their improvements are linked to the ’masters’ behind them..."

Wyatt Barnes quickly identified this connection.

"Who is that man?"

At this point, Wyatt Barnes looked up to the stage, where he saw a senior man confronting Millon Pond.

"I don’t know."

All of them shook their heads.

"Huh?"

Quickly, Wyatt Barnes became aware of a gaze carrying murderous intent, targeted at himself.

Without looking, Wyatt Barnes could guess.

The owner of that gaze must be ’Victory King’.

Without acknowledging Victory King, Wyatt Barnes turned his attention towards a middle-aged man in white on the stage.

The middle-aged man, dressed in a white robe with gold edges, was majestic and clearly not an ordinary person.

Especially, the mole between his eyebrows, red as if imbued with blood, was unforgettable.

"He is ’Prince Yakim’."

Alfonso Rowan explained to Wyatt Barnes with a serious expression.

"Prince Yakim?"

Wyatt Barnes paused before asking curiously, "Who is ’Prince Yakim’?"

"Prince Yakim, with his high status as the second brother of the current emperor of the Black Stone Empire, is also the strongest person in the Black Stone Empire... It has been rumored more than ten years ago that his cultivation level was nearing the ’Cave Void Realm’!"

Alfonso Rowan explained.

"More than ten years ago, close to the ’Cave Void Realm’?"

Wyatt Barnes was surprised, "Doesn’t that mean that he might have already broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm’ at this time?"

"Eight or nine out of ten have broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm’."

Handmi Holland nodded.

"Cave Void Realm?"

Wyatt Barnes’ gaze fell on Prince Yakim.

He extended his mental energy, covering it over Prince Yakim, intending to probe his cultivation level.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes found.

When his mental energy touched Prince Yakim, it felt like hitting a cotton ball, unable to find any leverage.

This feeling was similar to when he was examining Pavilion Master ’Valiant Charlesworth’ of the Treasure Pavilion in Thames River City of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

"Sure enough, he is a strong figure who has stepped into the third Void Realm, the ’Cave Void Realm’!"

A jolt ran through Wyatt Barnes’ heart as he drew this conclusion.

He was sure.

Even if it were a martial artist in the Enter Void Realm Level Nine, he could detect it with his current mental force.

Only those warriors above the Cave Void Realm would be beyond his ability.

With his current state of mental force, as his cultivation level had broken through to the ’Peep Naught Realm Level Seven’, it had also been pushed to break through into ’Peep Naught Realm Level Nine’.

It was always two levels higher than his cultivation level.

Wyatt Barnes promptly withdrew his mental energy.

If it probed longer, as a Cave Void Realm powerholder, ’Prince Yakim’, even if he didn’t initially notice it, would soon realize someone was probing him.

Being a Cave Void Realm powerholder, it wasn’t as simple as having incredible power.

"Everyone!"

Prince Yakim on the stage suddenly stood up, glanced around, his voice loud as thunder, making its way into the ears of everyone present.

"First of all, on behalf of the Imperial Family of the Black Stone Empire, I welcome everyone to the Black Stone Empire, to the Imperial City of the Black Stone Empire...you must have had a tough journey."

Prince Yakim’s words were clearly directed at the representatives and young talents from the various Imperial Nations.

"Thank you for your concern, Prince Yakim."

Immediately, the representatives of the various Imperial Nations stood up, greatly flattered.

Prince Yakim nodded, then continued, "Today, the young talents from various forces of the Black Stone Empire, as well as the young talents of various Imperial Nations gather here, for a single purpose..."

"To determine the top ten strongest individuals to go to the Great Turdo Dynasty, to compete with the young talents of the Great Turdo Dynasty and other empires for the eligibility to participate in the ’Ten Kingdoms Martial Meet’!"

Prince Yakim’s words resonated, thundering in everyone’s ears.

The Martial Arts Meeting of the Ten Dynasties!

With Prince Yakim’s speech ending, a group of talented young geniuses, including Wyatt Barnes, lit up with anticipation.

They all stood here today for the ’Martial Arts Meeting of the Ten Dynasties.’

"Today, the competition among the young and talented is simple...It will determine the nine-ranked ’Masters of the Arena’, and one ’First Young Talent of the Empire’ who can surpass the rest!"

Prince Yakim continued.

First Young Talent of the Empire?

Prince Yakim’s words left most of the young geniuses present breathless.

What an ’honor’ this would be!

Among the five great geniuses of the Green Forest Royal Country, only Wyatt Barnes and Walter Simmons remained calm.

"Wyatt, do you think there’s any substantive reward for this ’First Young Talent of the Empire?’"

Walter Simmons asked Wyatt with his Origin Force condensed voice.

"There should be... After all, this ’Genius Competition’ is hosted by the Black Stone Empire."

Wyatt guessed.

"Prince Yakim!"

Suddenly, a young genius, from an unknown royal country and faction, turned to Prince Yakim and respectfully asked, "May I know if there are any substantive rewards for the one who attains the honor of ’First Young Talent of the Empire?’"

Wyatt and Walter shared a smile.

It seemed that they were not the only ones interested in this matter.

In an instant, young geniuses from various factions and royal families, and numerous representatives, all turned to Prince Yakim.

Even the spectators, who came to watch the excitement, looked towards Prince Yakim.

Obviously, they were all curious.

"Of course!"

Under the scrutiny of countless eyes, Prince Yakim remained composed and nodded.

Then, with scorching gazes fixed on him, Prince Yakim continued, "Today, the one who stands out in our Black Stone Empire’s ’Genius Competition’ and wins the honor of ’First Young Talent of the Empire’ will receive the ’Containing Void Fruit’ prepared by our Imperial Family."

Containing Void Fruit!

Upon Prince Yakim’s announcement, the crowd was stirred.

"Containing Void Fruit?"

Wyatt’s heart fluttered, and anticipation blazed in his eyes.

Whether it was the ’Refining Void Fruit’ or the ’Containing Void Fruit’ that Wyatt had previously consumed, or this ’Containing Void Fruit’, were all fruits used by martial artists in the Peep Naught Realm.

The medicinal powers of the Refining Void Fruit and Containing Void Fruit were similar.

But the medicinal power of the Containing Void Fruit was the combined total of the previous two fruits...

Moreover, it wouldn’t conflict with the medicinal power of the previous two fruits.

That is to say, even if Wyatt had previously consumed the Refining Void Fruit and Containing Void Fruit, there would be no reduction in efficacy after consuming the Containing Void Fruit.

"The Containing Void Fruit can allow a martial artist, who has just broken through to the Ninth-Order of the Peep Naught Realm, to break through into the ’Enter Void Realm’ in a short time!"

Someone exclaimed out loud.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was ablaze with excitement.

"The Containing Void Fruit, I must have!"

"Hmph, Dream on! The Containing Void Fruit is definitely mine."

"I think you’re all dreaming, the Containing Void Fruit will certainly be mine."

...

The young geniuses began to argue.

Each of them was full of confidence in their chances.

"Containing Void Fruit!"

Determination shone brightly in Wyatt’s eyes.

"With the medicinal power of the Containing Void Fruit, if I can consume it, I might even break through two stages in a short time, stepping into the ’Ninth-Order of the Peep Naught Realm’!"

"So, even if I can’t get the ’Everlasting Root’ in the ’Great Turdo Dynasty’s Martial Competition’, and can’t refine the ’Nirvana Pill’, I still have a chance to break into the ’Enter Void Realm’ as soon as possible!"

"As long as I break through to the ’Enter Void Realm’, I can team up with the other eight to open the ’Sword Emperor’s Treasury’!"

Wyatt’s emotions surged tremendously.

The Everlasting Root was too rare.

He dared not pin all his hopes on it.

Now, the Containing Void Fruit would be another opportunity for him.

"I wonder if there are any existing ’Enter Void Realm’ observers among the young geniuses present... If so, I’m definitely not their match! Even if he gets the ’Containing Void Fruit’, it won’t be of much use to him."

"At that time, if I offer to exchange it with a fourth-grade spiritual instrument, he probably won’t refuse."

"If there’s no existence of ’Enter Void Realm’, I wonder if there’s a Ninth-Order Inscription Master in attendance... such a figure would be the most troublesome for me! My ’Soul Technique: Thousand Illusions’ would be ineffective, and he probably wouldn’t give up the ’Containing Void Fruit’ for a fourth-grade spiritual instrument."

Wyatt, whose thoughts suddenly turned, began to worry as he thought about it.

Thinking of this, Wyatt extended his spiritual power to probe the cultivation of the young geniuses present.

However, his spiritual power had barely reached out.

He found three mental forces, stronger than his own, sweeping towards him, which startled him, and he quickly withdrew his spiritual power.

"Enter Void Realm level mental force?"

Wyatt’s pupils contracted, then he looked up at the high platform, "It seems that there are still three ’Inscription Masters’ on this platform... Just now, when I used spiritual power to probe Prince Yakim, they didn’t react, probably out of respect for Prince Yakim’s majesty."

"Just now, when I wanted to probe the details of the young geniuses of the various factions, their mental power appeared."

Wyatt quickly guessed this.

Of course, those three ’Inscription Masters’, even if they discovered Wyatt’s mental power, won’t know who the owner of the mental power is specifically.

After all, Wyatt had withdrawn his mental power at the very first moment.

And Wyatt, since he didn’t pursue those three mental forces, he couldn’t find out who the owners of the three mental forces were.

"It seems that I can only take one step at a time."

Wyatt muttered to himself.

Now, if he used his mental power to probe the cultivation of the young geniuses present, he might be hindered by those three Inscription Masters.

Wyatt’s current mental power was much weaker than theirs.
