Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 626: They’ve All Come Out

Chapter 626: Chapter 626: They’ve All Come Out

Swoosh!

As a streak of golden lightning, Little Gold darted out, landing on Wyatt Barnes’s shoulder.

"Little Gold, you finally made an appearance.... So, how did it go? How many of the six challenges did you manage to pass?"

Wyatt looked at Little Gold, asking with a smile.

After hearing what Karina had to share about her encounter on the third layer, Wyatt realized that all the people who entered the third layer likely faced the same challenges.

Of course, the last one, the mirrored puppet, was different.

Everyone faced their own ’mirrored puppet.’

"Two."

Little Gold, with its head drooped slightly, answered disheartenedly.

"You only passed two challenges? Which two?"

Wyatt was taken aback.

"The challenge with a hundred Origin Force puppets and the earth puppet... I failed the rest."

Little Gold announced despairingly.

However, its child-like voice did little to portray its current mood.

"I guess my score isn’t too bad then..."

Karina moved closer to Wyatt, reached out to caress the smooth spine of Little Gold, and smiled.

She found ’balance’ in Little Gold’s performance.

As for Little Gold, it closed its eyes with contentment, clearly enjoying Karina’s gentle touch.

It bore no resistance towards Karina.

Perhaps it was thanks to Karina’s help in seeking vengeance.

Although it wasn’t Karina who directly killed the higher-ups of the Don Family in the Eastern Mulberry Empire, it was indeed her who had frozen them, allowing Little Gold the opportunity to strike them down.

With wisdom akin to humans, Little Gold understood that without Karina, it wouldn’t have been able to enact revenge.

Meanwhile, Echo Reid, who was standing not too far away, remained speechless, watching Wyatt, Karina, and Little Gold casually converse.

"A... talking mouse... Is... Is it a cave void realm demon beast?"

Echo couldn’t help but marvel at how his cumulative surprise of the past few years was outmatched by what he had witnessed recently.

"What kind of people and creatures are always around this Wyatt, anyway..."

For a moment, Echo could only feel goosebumps creep up his neck.

"Brother Wyatt,"

Little Gold blinked its vibrant emerald eyes at Wyatt, and inquired, "How many challenges did you manage to pass?"

Wyatt looked at Little Gold but didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he used his Origin Force to communicate, "I passed all of them."

All of them?

Surprise sprang in Little Gold’s eyes.

Karina noticed this reaction and whispered to Wyatt using the Origin Force, "Wyatt, this isn’t fair! You’re only telling Little Gold and not me!"

"Well aren’t you already aware?"

Wyatt responded with a bitter smile.

The reason he hadn’t shared the answer aloud earlier wasn’t because he didn’t want to tell Karina, but because he didn’t want to shock Echo who was nearby.

What Wyatt was unaware of was that Echo, who was startled time and again by their actions, wouldn’t be overly surprised anymore.

At this point, Echo was numb. Even the most unbelievable occurrences revolving around Wyatt wouldn’t surprise him.

"How would I know without you telling me?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, Karina’s Origin Force voice sounded aggrieved. Her expression became more pitiful, as if she were on the verge of tears.

The Karina at this moment was in stark contrast to the decisive and assertive Karina just a moment prior.

Wyatt shook his head and replied using his Origin Force, "Alright, I’ll tell you. I passed all the challenges... Didn’t you already suspect that based on the way you were looking at me earlier?"

"I only suspected you might have passed all the challenges... I never confirmed it,"

Karina’s Origin Force voice was filled with astonishment, "Wyatt, how did you pass the first and the last challenges?"

Facing the curious Karina, Wyatt didn’t conceal anything and began to recount his experiences.

Of course, he left out anything related to the memory of the Martial Emperor’s reincarnation.

"A Grade One spirit sword turned out to be an unformed sword embryo? And it was hidden among the pile of scrap around the cave?"

After hearing about Wyatt’s experience with the first test, Karina complained, "That Martial Emperor really loves to trick people! Who would have thought a Grade One spirit sword would be as unnoticeable as a clunky, ugly sword embryo and hidden amongst a pile of scrap?"

Listening to Karina’s complaint, Wyatt just shook his head and smiled.

The first challenge was indeed a ’technical task.’

Only a high-grade Artifact Refiner could likely pinpoint such an inconspicuous ’Grade One spirit sword.’

"Wyatt, how did you manage to find that Grade One spirit sword?"

Karina couldn’t help but ask, driven by curiosity.

"I’m an Artifact Refiner."

Wyatt’s answer was simple and straightforward.

"So, you’re an Artifact Refiner... That makes sense."

Karina nodded in understanding, "Artifact refiners have a unique insight into spirit artifacts... I’ve heard that many of them can identify the grade just by its appearance."

"Yes."

Wyatt nodded.

Being an alchemist was indeed intricate work. After refining numerous spirit artifacts, they naturally develop a unique instinct and eye for them.

"And the final challenge?"

Karina asked, "I couldn’t do anything against my mirrored puppet... I ended up in a draw with her and then the inscriptions stopped us because time was up. Otherwise, she would have beaten me eventually."

"Wyatt, how did you deal with your mirrored puppet?"

Karina blinked her autumn-colored eyes, curiously looking at Wyatt.

Wyatt smiled and answered, "Karina, honestly, I didn’t really deal with it. I just guided it..."

Without further ado, Wyatt proceeded to describe his experience with the final challenge.

"Is this possible?"

Karina Hanson freezes for a moment, rebuking herself somewhat remorsefully, "Why didn’t I think of this? So the last test can be solved this simply."

"Wyatt, you’re too smart."

Karina Hanson looks at Wyatt Barnes in awe.

At that moment, Wyatt Barnes felt elated, but at the same time, he felt embarrassed.

You know, this wasn’t his solution.

It was a method recounted from the memories of the Martial Emperor Reincarnation.

And him, he merely borrowed someone else’s method.

"Wyatt, does this mean that you have received the Martial Emperor’s inheritance?"

When Karina Hanson again expressed her thoughts to Wyatt Barnes through her Origin Force, there was an unexpected surge of excitement in her voice.

Martial Emperor’s inheritance.

Even for her, it was intriguing.

Right when Wyatt Barnes was about to tell Karina about the Martial Emperor’s inheritance, he was suddenly interrupted by two loud noises.

Boom! Boom!

Following the two loud noises, in Wyatt Barnes’ line of sight, two more openings appeared on the wall of the cave in the distance.

Inside the holes, two large doors slowly rose.

Simultaneously.

Whizz! Whizz!

A black and a white lightning streak shot out from behind the two doors, aimed right at Wyatt Barnes.

In an instant, a black and a white tiny python appeared on Wyatt Barnes’ shoulders.

"Hiss~~"

They excitedly shuttled their tongues out, licking Wyatt Barnes’ cheeks.

"Wyatt, it seems Little Black and Little White are closer to you... Once out, they went to find you."

Standing to the side, Karina Hanson had a trace of melancholy in her voice.

"Hiss~~"

Hearing Karina Hanson’s words, the two little pythons promptly moved away from Wyatt Barnes in a sympathetic manner, and made their way onto Karina’s shoulders, flicking their tongues to comfort her.

It was then that Karina Hanson revealed a satisfied smile.

Wyatt Barnes lightly smiled.

This girl, speaking of her true age, should be in her early twenties by now.

However, her preserving such innocence was genuinely rare.

"Little Black, Little White, how many tests did you guys pass?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the two pythons with curiosity.

"Squeak~~"

At this moment, Little Gold Mouse was also watching the two little pythons with interest. In its sparkling green eyes, there was obvious unease.

It was clearly worried that the two pythons had outperformed itself.

When it found out that the two pythons had only passed the same two tests as it had, the little gold mouse jumped with joy.

"Little Black and Little White have also passed the hundred Phantom Puppet and the Earth Puppet tests.... However, the other four tests may indeed be a bit hard for Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White."

Wyatt Barnes silently mused.

"All of you are okay, that’s good... As for those tests, it doesn’t matter whether you passed them or not."

Wyatt Barnes looked at the two little pythons and comforted.

Having experienced the six tests on the third layer of the Sword Emperor’s Treasury, Wyatt Barnes knew all too well.

In the three power tests, there was a significant risk of being killed.

Being able to survive would undoubtedly be their greatest fortune.

"Hiss~~"

With Wyatt Barnes’ comforting words, the two little pythons who had been hanging their heads low, once again became lively.

"Wyatt, you haven’t told me about the ’Martial Emperor’s inheritance’ you received."

The sound of Karina Hanson’s voice whetted by her Origin Force once again reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to answer Karina Hanson, history repeated itself again.

Another loud noise interrupted Wyatt Barnes.

Boom!

The cave wall in the distance shattered loudly. Rubble fell to the ground, behind which, a door gradually began to rise.

Under the attentive eyes of Wyatt Barnes, Karina Hanson and Echo Reid, an aged figure in green slowly stepped out of the door.

"Elder Cruz!"

As soon as the old man in green appeared, Echo Reid shouted out in surprise, his eyes filled with fervor.

The individual emerging was the ’strong’ ally he had specially invited for the Sword Emperor’s Treasury.

He had also made an agreement with the old man that they would split whatever the two of them found in the Sword Emperor’s Treasury between them.

Elder Cruz stepped out, gave Echo Reid a cursory glance, then levitated, preparing to leave the Sword Emperor’s Treasury.

"Elder Cruz!"

Echo Reid, who had been looking forward to Elder Cruz sharing the spoils with him, showed a slight change in his expression. He urgently rose into the sky to block Elder Cruz.

"If you don’t want to die, get the hell out of here at once!"

With irate eyes, Elder Cruz glared at Echo Reid and snarled.

"Elder Cruz... have you forgotten our agreement?"

Echo Reid asked gravely.

"An agreement? What agreement?"

Elder Cruz scoffed coldly.

"Elder Cruz, you mentioned before that we would split anything that we found in the Sword Emperor’s Treasury equally... Isn’t that right?"

Echo Reid asked again.
