Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 617: Secret Compartment

Chapter 617: Chapter 617: Secret Compartment

With the Grade One spirit sword in his hand, boasting the strength of nearly ten ancient Horned Dragons, Wyatt Barnes was full of confidence.

"No matter what the second ’Test of Strength’ is ... I’ll sweep it away!"

Wyatt took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Based on his experience with the first ’Test of Wisdom,’ he guessed that he would have to initiate the second ’Test of Strength’ himself.

As expected, Wyatt Barnes was right.

The moment he took a few steps forward, he felt a familiar fluctuation beneath his feet - it was the fluctuation of the ’Inscription Formation’.

"The second test is the ’Test of Strength’..."

At this point, the Martial Emperor’s message echoed in Wyatt’s ears, reverberating like thunder.

"Take three steps forward to activate the ’Origin Shadow Inscription Formation’. Once activated, there will be one hundred ’Origin Shadow Puppets’ at the Sixth Rank of the Void Realm...From the moment the Inscription Formation is activated, you have a quarter of an hour to kill all the Origin Shadow Puppets to pass the test."

The Martial Emperor stated the rules of the second ’Test of Strength’.

"One hundred ’Origin Shadow Puppets’ at the Sixth Rank of Void Realm?"

Wyatt took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling.

Usually, with his current strength, sweeping away a hundred ’Origin Shadow Puppets’ at the Sixth Rank of Void Realm without spiritual artifacts and realm dependence, would not be difficult.

After all, even if the Sixth Rank Void Realm Origin Shadow Puppets make their full efforts, they possess only the strength of eight ancient Horned Dragons.

Yet now, he was required to kill all these Origin Shadow Puppets within a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour was neither too long nor too short.

"With my current strength, I can crush the Sixth Rank Void Realm Origin Shadow Puppets... I should be able to kill all of them within a quarter of an hour if I use my full speed and power."

An idea flashed across Wyatt’s mind, his eyes reflecting strong confidence, he swiftly stepped forward.

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

Begin!

In an instant, beneath Wyatt’s feet, the fluctuation of the profound Inscription Formation could be felt.

Following that, human-shaped shadows appeared out of thin air around him; these shadows were the ’Origin Shadow Puppets’.

The number of Origin Shadow Puppets continued to surge, stopping only when it reached a hundred.

One hundred Origin Shadow Puppets floated around Wyatt, filling the entire cave.

"Kill!"

Wyatt’s eyes grew cold; the Origin Force pulsated on the Grade One spirit sword he was holding. The ’Triple Wind Realm’, the ’micro thunder’, and the ’earth momentum’, all were set in motion.

Despite facing a hundred congealed Origin Shadow Puppets, Wyatt didn’t dare to slack off.

His time was limited.

Whoosh!

Wyatt drew his sword, resembling a bolt of black lightning, directly sweeping towards the seven Origin Shadow Puppets that were converging from a distance.

However, these seven Origin Shadow Puppets seemed to predict the future.

The moment Wyatt drew his sword, they scattered in all directions.

Whoosh!

As a result, Wyatt’s sword only destroyed one Origin Shadow Puppet.

The other seven Origin Shadow Puppets escaped elsewhere.

Facing the continuously attacking Origin Shadow Puppets, Wyatt’s face taut, he pressed on to fight.

Sword Drawing Technique!

The spirit sword in Wyatt’s hand sometimes turned into lightning, sometimes condensed into a ’Wind-Thunder Sword’ aura, sweeping out and sweeping towards the Origin Shadow Puppets.

It must be said that the Origin Shadow Puppets were really tricky.

To be precise, the Origin Shadow Puppets that appeared around Wyatt now were tricky.

Every swing of Wyatt’s sword only destroyed one Origin Shadow Puppet.

The other Origin Shadow Puppets always managed to dodge just in time.

"No good! I can’t go on like this! If I only kill one Origin Shadow Puppet with each swing of my sword ... how many swings will it take to kill a hundred of them?"

Considering he only had a quarter of an hour, Wyatt got anxious.

"Hmph! I want to see how you could still dodge this."

As the light of thunder flickered, a bright idea crossed Wyatt’s mind. With a sonic boom, his purple robe fluttered without a wind, making a rustling sound.

Wind Gathering Clouds!

Suddenly, Wyatt seemed to transform into a gust of wind, sweeping towards the corner of the cave.

He floated in the air, back against two walls, silently watching a group of Origin Shadow Puppets.

Meanwhile, the group of Origin Shadow Puppets rushed towards Wyatt again.

However, because Wyatt was back against two walls, their space was practically cut in half, forcing the Origin Shadow Puppets to crowd together.

Watching the group of Origin Shadow Puppets advancing, with his back firmly against the corner, Wyatt swung his spirit sword out.

The strength of nearly ten ancient Horned Dragons was unleashed.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

As Wyatt raised his arm, waves of sword light swept out, forming a sword net, which covered a group of Origin Shadow Puppets.

Just like a net spread between heaven and earth, they were firmly trapped inside.

The group of Origin Shadow Puppets, seeing Wyatt’s sword light falling, dispersed to escape.

Unfortunately, because Wyatt was backed against a corner, the range they could escape was very small.

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen Origin Shadow Puppets were destroyed under Wyatt’s sword.

"Enjoyable!"

With a swing of his sword, Wyatt felt his vexation swiftly dissipate, leaving him invigorated.

As Wyatt retracted his hand, the remaining Origin Shadow Puppets rushed towards him once again.

Although they understood how to dodge in critical moments, they lacked human emotions and did not understand fear, so they instinctively kept attacking Wyatt.

But the outcome was predictable.

Despite the multitude of shadow puppets, they were no match for the rampage of Wyatt Barnes, isolated in the corner.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a hundred shadow puppets were annihilated!

Just then.

Woosh!

In the cave, a strange wind suddenly stirred up, followed by a pervasion of dust.

"Where did this wind come from?"

Wyatt Barnes curiously looked over.

It was then he noticed, in another corner of the cave, where the dust was emerging from, an exquisite box had appeared.

"Is that the reward for the second test?"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes sparkled, he leaped and landed beside the box.

Immediately after, he impatiently opened the box.

Inside the box, a crystal clear bead was quietly residing.

"A Soul Bead?"

With just one glance, Wyatt Barnes recognized this bead. It was the ’Soul Bead’ which he had obtained once before.

Back then, his mental power underwent a transformation after fusing with the ’Soul Bead’.

It had elevated to two stages higher than his cultivation level.

Currently, his cultivation was at the ’Enter Void Realm Triple Layer’, but because he had previously fused with a Soul Bead, his mental power had advanced to the ’Enter Void Realm Fifth Layer’.

Still two levels higher than his cultivation!

"I wonder whether my mental power could take another step forward if I fuse with this Soul Bead."

With no hesitation, Wyatt Barnes eagerly picked up the Soul Bead.

Just as he was about to infuse his mental power into it.

A voice sounded from within the Soul Bead:

"Congratulations on passing the second test, the next, the third test, is the ’Test of Wisdom’...walk five steps forward and three steps to the right to trigger the third test."

Another message left by the Martial Emperor.

And the ’Inscription of Condensed Sound’ was within the Soul Bead.

"Engraving the ’Inscription of Condensed Sound’ inside the Soul Bead...it seems the Martial Emperor’s achievements in the inscription field are not shallow either."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Wyatt Barnes infused his mental power into the Soul Bead, directly absorbing the pure mental power contained within.

After a moment, Wyatt Barnes could feel his mental power undergoing a transformation.

However, the transformation was minor.

In the end, his mental power was unable to break through to the ’Enter Void Realm Sixth Layer’.

Soul Beads work best when one’s mental power is weaker; the weaker it is, the better the effect.

"Maybe with two or three more Soul Beads, my mental energy could transform further...what a pity."

Wyatt Barnes sighed.

Upon second thoughts, Wyatt Barnes felt relieved, "Getting a Soul Bead is already a sign of my luck...I was too greedy."

Wyatt Barnes stood up and moved to the location where the Martial Emperor’s message indicated the third test would begin.

As expected, the inscription array arrived as scheduled.

"The third test is the ’Test of Wisdom’...within the cave, locate a hidden compartment, and obtain the object within it."

The Martial Emperor’s voice, flatly resonated, "You have a quarter of an hour...if the hidden compartment is not found within the time limit, the test will be failed! If you locate the hidden compartment and receive the object within, that object will serve as your reward for passing the third test."

As the Martial Emperor’s voice faded, Wyatt Barnes hurriedly dashed to the corner of the cave nearest to him and began to scrutinize it closely.

At the same time, his mental power stretched out, leaving no stone unturned.

Anything his naked eye couldn’t discern, he detected with his mental power.

Wyatt Barnes had great confidence in his mental power.

"A quarter of an hour...it’s ample time for my mental energy to investigate every corner of this cave."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes breathed a sigh of relief.

If he wasn’t an inscription master, without mental energy, and was relying on his eyesight alone to locate the ’hidden compartment’ mentioned by the Martial Emperor or using other methods to find the ’hidden compartment’.

It would be very difficult for him to pass this test within a quarter of an hour.

"This test feels like it was tailor-made for ’inscription masters’."

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes even had such an illusion.

Starting from one corner of the cave, Wyatt Barnes meticulously began searching for the ’hidden compartment’ referred to by the Martial Emperor, inspecting up and down, with his mental power penetrating every nook and cranny.

Time gradually slipped away.

But Wyatt Barnes, seeming tireless, continued examining every corner of the cave with utmost care.

Finally, when half of the quarter-hour had elapsed, Wyatt Barnes’ mental power detected something unusual about a certain spot.

"Here..."

Wyatt Barnes’ floating figure moved, landing in front of a cave wall, where he crouched down to examine the smooth wall before him.

If one only looked with naked eyes, it was impossible to notice anything wrong with this cave wall.

Whack!

Wyatt Barnes lifted his hand and struck out, infusing his Origin Force into the wall.

Boom!

A loud noise resonated, the cave wall trembled and split open, but still showed nothing.

If it were someone else, they might leave at this point to search elsewhere.

After all, from the crack in the cave wall alone, there were no signs to be seen.

But Wyatt Barnes did not leave.

"It’s really well hidden!"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, his Origin Force concentrated and formed a short sword, thrust into the crack in the wall, widening the gap.

Then, Wyatt Barnes forcefully yanked.
