Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 697: The ’Seventh’ Dispute

Chapter 697: Chapter 697: The ’Seventh’ Dispute

Facing Winnie Romero’s challenge, Kase Dragonsmith’s gaze flickered a few times before he outright conceded the match.

He had already witnessed Winnie’s power.

Although he was confident in his own techniques, the disparity in their strength made him feel powerless.

This woman, who seemed to be alarmingly young, not only had a higher level of cultivation than him but also a better understanding of the ’realm’ concept and her three-product spiritual weapon was superior to his.

He had seen the three-product spiritual weapon in her possession, which could amplify the user’s strength by ’seventy percent’.

Compared to the three-product spiritual knife he had, it was much stronger.

All in all, his strength fell far short of hers, terminating any necessity for a duel.

Her strength alone was enough to crush him.

"Walter Simmons!"

After Kase Dragonsmith conceded defeat, Winnie Romero’s gaze shifted to Walter Simmons, giving him a slight nod.

Compared to Kase Dragonsmith, she was more courteous towards Walter Simmons.

All of this was naturally because she knew he was Wyatt Barnes’ friend.

Different from Kase Dragonsmith’s surrender, Walter Simmons stood unafraid against Winnie Romero’s challenge, darting out of the crowd to stand across from her.

"Miss Winnie."

Walter Simmons nodded at Winnie Romero.

"I know you are Brother Barnes’s friend... However, today, I am determined to secure the seventh position in the ’Dynastic Martial Competition’!"

Winnie Romero spoke to Walter Simmons; full of confidence.

"So am I."

When facing Winnie Romero, who was like a fairy descended from the heavens, Walter Simmons showed no signs of flattery. It was as if he wasn’t standing across from a stunning beauty but an ordinary person.

The two simmersed instantly and successfully attracted everyone’s attention.

Winnie Romero, heiress of the Romero Clan showcased her astonishing strength.

Her cultivation was at ’Enter Void Realm Level Eight’, recognized ’Realm of Fire Level Eight’, and held a three-product spiritual whip that could amplify its holder’s strength by ’seventy percent’.

Walter Simmons, a young talent from the Blackstone Empire, was comparable to Winnie in terms of cultivation and understanding of realms.

However, so far, through the eyes of the audience in the fighting arena, Walter Simmons held a ’four-product spirit sword’.

"This Walter Simmons from the Blackstone Empire has fine cultivation and insight. He is not inferior to Miss Winnie... However, the spiritual weapon he holds is just a ’four-product spirit sword’. He is definitely at a disadvantage."

"A four-product spirit sword falls far behind Miss Winnie’s three-product spiritual whip... Most importantly, Miss Winnie’s spiritual whip can amplify ’seventy percent’ of the strength!"

"The disparity in spiritual weapons is simply too great... Walter Simmons stands no chance in this battle."

...

All around the fighting arena, the spectators were generally not in favor of Walter Simmons.

Despite the skepticism of the crowds, Walter Simmons’s expression remained unchanged.

"Walter Simmons, I won’t use a ’Three-product spiritual weapon’ in my fight against you."

Winnie Romero said to Walter Simmons, her words clear and confident, admirably standing tall.

Immediately, the entire prison fighting arena was in an uproar again.

"Miss Winnie is truly the daughter of Lord Wudao, her integrity is unparalleled. She doesn’t want to take an advantage over Walter Simmons with her spiritual weapon."

"I am growing more and more envious of that Wyatt Barnes from the Blackstone Empire... What merits does he have to be able to marry such an outstanding woman like Miss Winnie?"

"You ask what merits Wyatt Barnes has? What do you amount to in comparison to him?"

...

The discussion around the fighting arena unknowingly swung to Wyatt Barnes.

While there were many criticisms leveled at Wyatt Barnes, there were many others who took his side, most of them were from the deepest admiration for Wyatt Barnes.

"Winnie and Walter are having an exhibition match, and they can still connect it to me..."

Wyatt Barnes wore a strange expression, feeling as if he were being drawn into the fray despite laying low.

Who did I offend?

"No need to!"

Hearing Winnie’s candid words, Walter Simmons shook his head.

Just as confusion spread across Winnie’s face, a radiant three-foot-long blade materialized out of thin air in Walter’s hand.

"This isn’t the spirit sword Walter Simmons used before!"

Very quickly, some discerned the development that was unfolding.

At this moment, Walter Simmons’s Origin Force flooded into the three-foot-long blade in his hand.

In an instant, above the void, strange phenomena began to unfold.

First, the illusions of eleven ancient horned dragons appeared, followed by the illusions of seven ancient behemoths, plus the illusions of over four thousand ancient behemoths.

"It can amplify ’sixty-eight percent’ ... three-product spirit sword!"

"Does Walter Simmons also have a three-product spiritual weapon? My god! Is today a gathering of three-product spiritual weapons?"

"Doesn’t our Great Turdo Dynasty only have one three-product spiritual weapon? And isn’t that spiritual weapon held by the Imperial Family?"

...

With the appearance of a three-product spiritual weapon in Walter’s hand, the entire prison fighting arena was abuzz.

If someone was not surprised by this, it would be Wyatt Barnes alone.

He had heard long before that Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith had three-product spiritual weapons, so even if he saw Walter Simmons take out a three-product spiritual sword with his own eyes, he felt nothing unusual.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, the three-product spiritual weapons in their hands, were they all refined by the three-product Artifact Refiner standing behind you?"

Wyatt Barnes’s composed expression fell into the watchful eyes of Valiant Charlesworth, who couldn’t help but question him.

Between his words, a dash of urgency crept in.

Upon receiving the Origin Force sound transmission from Valiant Charlesworth, Wyatt Barnes was somewhat taken aback, taking a moment to react.

He knew, Valiant was overthinking.

"Pavilion Master Charlesworth, you’re overthinking it."

Wyatt Barnes responded truthfully.

"I’m overthinking it?"

Valiant Charlesworth paused for a moment, then further questioned: "Is it really me overthinking? Both Miss Winnie of the Romero Clan, and the young talents Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith from the Blackstone Empire, all seem to have quite some connections with you, don’t they?"

"That’s correct."

At this point, Wyatt Barnes did not deny it, "The three of them do have some connection with me to varying degrees... However, of the three Rank 3 artifacts they each hold, only the one that Winnie has was refined by the Rank 3 Artifact Refiner behind me. The ones held by Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith have nothing to do with the refiner behind me."

"Moreover, of these two, I’m actually only friends with Walter Simmons. I could perhaps ask the Rank 3 Refiner behind me to refine a Rank 3 Artifact for him, but I wouldn’t be able to help Kase Dragonsmith."

Wyatt Barnes spoke straightforwardly.

To this end, Valiant Charlesworth had no doubts, but he still couldn’t help expressing his astonishment: "Elder Brother Lingtian, the Rank 3 Refiner behind you is truly an amazing character! He was actually able to refine the Rank 3 artifact in Miss Winnie’s hand that can amplify ’Seventy Percent’."

"It’s alright."

Wyatt Barnes nodded, only managing to portray such nonchalance due to his thick skin, otherwise, he would have turned red from all the praise.

"Another Rank 3 Artifact!"

In the high-class seating reserved for the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty, the Emperor’s lips twitched, his majesty diminished.

Even though his status was high within the Great Turdo Dynasty, he couldn’t help being impressed at this moment.

"Again, it’s someone from the Blackstone Empire!"

The man in black can’t help but take in a sharp breath.

"Those from the Blackstone Empire truly have tremendous fortune."

Hal Buckingham, who had remained silent all this while, spoke for the rare occasion, his voice carrying a trace of surprise.

As for the siblings, Marshall and Sophie Tyler, they didn’t say anything.

However, the look in Matteo Buckingham, who was sitting next to Sophie, showed even more intense greed than when Kase Dragonsmith took out his Rank 3 spirit blade, "Another Rank 3 artifact... and it’s a Rank 3 spirit sword!"

He was a swordsman himself, and what he understood was the ’Realm of the Sword’.

Compared to the Rank 3 spirit blade, he wanted a ’Rank 3 Spirit Sword’ more.

"Walter Simmons, hmm?"

Matteo’s eyes were filled with desire.

However, soon, a sentence was transmitted into Matteo’s ear, as though a bucket of cold water was poured onto his head, "Matteo, you best stop thinking about those Rank 3 artifacts in the hands of Kase Dragonsmith and Walter Simmons!"

Matteo could tell that this was the Origin Force voice transmission from his father, the current Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty.

The Emperor had clearly noticed the greed showing in Matteo’s eyes.

"Why?!"

Upon hearing this, Matteo frowned and replied somewhat indignantly.

"Hmph!"

The Emperor gave a cold snort through the Origin Force, saying somewhat disapprovingly: "You should think carefully... Why do they have Rank 3 artifacts? Do you think they just fell from the sky? Furthermore, they are merely from a small empire, and yet they have such strength. Do you think there wouldn’t be someone powerful supporting them from behind?"

The Emperor’s words were quite reasonable and left Matteo somewhat hesitant.

Just at this moment, in addition to brandishing his Rank 3 Spirit Sword, Walter Simmons also directly demonstrated his ’eight-fold Realm of the Sword’.

A moment later, Walter Simmons decided to make the first move and swiftly attacked Winnie Romero.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

The shadow of the sword crisscrossed and swept toward Winnie Romero.

In contrast, Winnie Romero flicked her Rank 3 Spiritual Whip, and it started to coil around her graceful and shapely body, forming a red protective light shield once again.

This red protective shield was like a giant fireball, shielding Winnie Romero entirely within it.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

...

Every time Walter Simmons attacked with his Rank 3 Spirit Sword, the fireball shield around Winnie Romero shrank a little bit.

Of course, if one were to look with the naked eye, it would be hard to notice the changes in the fireball.

Finally, under everyone’s eyes, the fireball moved and shifted away.

It was then that Winnie Romero realized she couldn’t continue being passive, as that would mean inevitable defeat...

Defensive martial arts skills may provide temporary relief in an emergency, but they certainly cannot be used throughout the battle.

This ranking battle wasn’t about achieving a draw with Walter Simmons; she had to defeat him to secure the seventh seat of the Dynasty Martial Arts Competition.

The seventh seat, as she had said before...

She was determined to win it!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Finally, Winnie Romero made her move. Swinging her Rank 3 Spirit Whip, she created a dense array of whip shadows that sliced through the air and targeted Walter Simmons.

As these whip shadows rained down from the sky, it was as though a downpour was in full swing.

"An all-encompassing hailstorm?"

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes paused momentarily, unable to stop himself from recalling the events when he had first met Winnie Romero in Phoenix Perch City.
