Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 910: Hysterical Tatum Cruz

Chapter 910: Chapter 910: Hysterical Tatum Cruz

Teawhite was now extremely anxious, afraid that if Tatum Cruz showed his "Fire Realm" even a moment later, Wyatt Barnes would regret making that "bet."

Once Wyatt Barnes went back on his word, their Flame Peak would lose a fiendishly talented disciple capable of making Flame Peak the "number one peak of the Five Elements Sect" in three years!

"Yes, yes!"

Tatum Cruz suddenly heard Teawhite’s alarmed shout and shuddered, his mind becoming a blur.

He didn’t have time to think about anything else and hastily nodded, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.

At the same time, strands of flame slowly formed and rose from his body, eventually enveloping him, making him look like a veritable "God of Fire."

Whoosh!

At the same time, the forces between heaven and earth stirred in the void, and an aura of strangeness gradually took shape, as the phantoms of ancient Horned Dragons appeared before everyone.

Suddenly, including Wyatt Barnes, everyone’s gaze turned toward the vision.

"Wyatt Barnes is definitely going to lose."

This was what most people were thinking at the moment.

Although the "bet" was proposed by Wyatt Barnes himself, they didn’t believe he could win.

Most of them thought Wyatt Barnes had been persuaded by the Flame Peak Master, Teawhite, planning to leave Niklaus Woodson for Flame Peak, and that the "bet" was just a fool’s errand.

Only a few people seemed to ponder deeply.

First, naturally, were Callen Spacewood and Brady Yellow.

Next, were the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, Grini Clifford, and his own direct disciple, Jaxx Nangle, whose eyes were mixed with a hint of suspicion.

They clearly realized that things were not so simple.

Soon, the phantoms of the ancient Horned Dragons above Tatum Cruz’s head took form, and their number continued to increase.

Ten.

Twenty.

Thirty.

...

Before long, the number of the ancient Horned Dragon phantoms ceased increasing, and one after another spiraled down, clearly entering everyone’s field of vision.

"This..."

Most people’s pupils shrank, and they watched the phantoms of the ancient Horned Dragons in the void with faces full of shock.

Some even thought they were seeing things and had made a mistake, so they couldn’t help but rub their eyes fiercely, and it took a while before they confirmed that they were not mistaken.

"Eight... eighty ancient Horned Dragon powers?"

David Field looked at the eighty phantoms of ancient Horned Dragons in the void and murmured, "It’s really... really the ’Seventh-Order Intermediate Fire Realm’! But how... how is this possible?!"

Seventh-Order Intermediate Fire Realm!

That was indeed the realm that Tatum Cruz was displaying now, and it didn’t differ from the realm he held before entering the "Mystic Profound Array."

In other words, there was no change in Tatum Cruz after entering and leaving the "Mystic Profound Array."

He hadn’t gained even the slightest benefit.

"What’s going on?"

For a moment, whether it was the Earth Peak Master, Frank Field, the Water Peak Master, Rayna Yates, or young geniuses including Demetrius Nangle, their faces were all marked with confusion.

In their view, this was almost an impossible occurrence.

Yet the scene before them kept assaulting their visual senses, constantly telling them that all of this was real.

"Did the Peak Master Teawhite... lose?"

Suddenly, someone said softly.

The voice wasn’t loud, but in the silence, it sounded particularly grating.

"It’s you! Wyatt Barnes, it’s you who did this! What exactly did you do to me?!"

All of a sudden, a hysterical roar erupted out of nowhere, making everyone involuntarily snap back to reality.

It was Tatum Cruz, who had completely come to his senses, retracting his gaze from the eighty phantoms of ancient Horned Dragons above his head and glaring at Wyatt Barnes, looking as though he was ready to fight for his life!

At the beginning, when he had just come out of the Mystic Profound Array, he felt something was amiss.

At that time, he tried to sense his "Fire Realm", only to find that it seemed no different from before he had entered the Mystic Profound Array.

He was puzzled for a while, thinking it was because he had just come out of the Mystic Profound Array and couldn’t clearly sense any changes in his "Fire Realm."

Latter, seeing that individuals like David Field and Joy Thomsen had displayed realms that had improved by two whole levels, he let down his guard entirely.

In his mind,

If everyone else had improved, it was impossible for him not to have improved.

But when the Sect Leader Grini Clifford named him to demonstrate, Wyatt Barnes stopped him and ridiculed him by saying his master was bragging, even making a "bet" with his master.

He bet that Tatum’s "Fire Realm" had not improved at all and was still at the "Seventh-Order Intermediate Fire Realm".

At that time, Tatum couldn’t understand at all what made Wyatt so sure that his "realm" had not broken through, coupled with his own sensations; he momentarily couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty.

Right after that, he was startled and then shocked by his master’s shout, hastily displaying his "Fire Realm."

When he saw that his comprehension was still at the "Seventh-Order Intermediate Level of Fire Intent,"

He was dumbfounded!

Completely dumbfounded!

What on earth was going on?

The first thing he thought of when he came to his senses was Wyatt Barnes.

In his view, all this must have been Wyatt Barnes’s doing!

Otherwise, how could Wyatt Barnes be so sure that he made no progress inside the "Mysterious Heavenly Formation"?

"Could it really have been Wyatt Barnes?"

Seeing Tatum Cruz bellowing at Wyatt Barnes, the gazes of the others also fell on Wyatt.

They had heard the "bet" Wyatt had just made with Teawhite loud and clear.

Between the lines, it seemed to confirm that Tatum Cruz’s "Fire Intent" had made no breakthroughs before and after entering and exiting the "Mysterious Heavenly Formation."

When they first heard the bizarre "bet" that Wyatt had initiated, most people thought Wyatt was doing it on purpose — he wanted to use it as an excuse to switch allegiances to "Flame Peak" and become a disciple of Teawhite.

But now it appeared that Wyatt had no such intention.

Because, indeed, Tatum Cruz’s "Fire Intent" had made no advancements after entering and exiting the "Mysterious Heavenly Formation," it stalled right where it was.

At this moment, thinking back to what Wyatt had said earlier, they felt it was simply like a "divine prophecy!"

Hearing Tatum Cruz’s roar, the first thought that popped into their minds was undoubtedly that Wyatt must have done something to Tatum Cruz within the "Mysterious Heavenly Formation," preventing him from using the power of "Intent" to comprehend a higher level of "Fire Intent"!

"Wyatt Barnes, what exactly did you do to Tatum Cruz?!"

Teawhite’s eyes turned blood red as he stared at Wyatt and asked in a deep voice.

As the Peak Master of the Five Elements Sect’s Flame Peak, Teawhite had been dominant for half his life, and this was the first time he had suffered such a huge loss, particularly to someone under thirty.

This made him feel ashamed and furious from the bottom of his heart, wishing he could take down Wyatt on the spot!

However, when he realized that Niklaus Woodson, the Peak Master of "Wood Peak," had locked onto him, he knew that even at the risk of his own life, he probably couldn’t touch Wyatt at all.

So, all he could do was try hard to suppress the raging anger in his heart.

"What could I possibly have done to him..."

In response to Teawhite’s questioning, faced with many puzzled looks, Wyatt calmly said, "Peak Master Teawhite, in matters like these, we must talk evidence... You shouldn’t make baseless accusations!"

Wyatt’s words made Teawhite infuriated, and he said with a humiliated anger, "If you weren’t behind it... how could you know that Tatum Cruz’s ’Fire Intent’ had not improved at all after coming out of the ’Mysterious Heavenly Formation’?"

Teawhite’s words made everyone nod to themselves involuntarily.

Yes, indeed.

It was strange enough that Tatum Cruz’s "Intent" had not improved after coming out of the "Mysterious Heavenly Formation."

Yet even more bizarre was the fact that Wyatt actually knew Tatum Cruz’s "Intent" hadn’t improved.

Putting the two facts together led people to imagine all sorts of possibilities.

"Peak Master Teawhite, are you regretting the ’bet’ we made? That bet was personally witnessed by the Sect Leader, you wouldn’t deny it, would you?"

Wyatt didn’t respond to Teawhite but changed the subject and said indifferently.

"I will naturally honor that ’bet,’ but no matter what, you must give Tatum Cruz an explanation, and you owe me one, as well as ’Flame Peak’!"

Teawhite said sharply, his gaze piercing.

Towards the end, he brought the entirety of "Flame Peak" into play to pressure Wyatt.

"Since you, Peak Master Teawhite, are willing to recognize that ’bet,’ nothing could be better... However, I really can’t trust your character. How about you hand over that ’Seventh-Order Thunder Intent Fragment’ to me first, and then I’ll give you an explanation, how does that sound?"

Wyatt grinned and spoke in an unhurried manner.

"You!!"

Hearing what Wyatt said, Teawhite flew into a rage, feeling an impulse to strike at Wyatt directly.

In the end, because of his wariness of the Wood Peak Master, Niklaus Woodson, he ultimately did not make a move.

"Hmph! I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation."

Teawhite took a deep breath, suppressing his utterly livid mood, and at the same time threw a purple fragment in Wyatt’s direction.

"Seventh-Order Thunder Intent Fragment!"

Catching the fragment, Wyatt’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He had comprehended four types of "Intents," and he held the corresponding fragments, but among those, the "Thunder Intent Fragment" was the most inferior.

That "Thunder Intent Fragment" had come from killing Basil Buckingham, the number one powerhouse of the Imperial Family of the Great Turdo Dynasty, with the talisman left behind by his cheap adoptive father.

It was only a "First level Thunder Intent Fragment."

Earlier, he indeed had the intention of exchanging for a "Thunder Intent Fragment." That’s why he set up such a bet with the Peak Master of Flame Peak, Teawhite, to trick a higher-level "Thunder Intent Fragment" from him.

Now that the "Seventh-Order Thunder Intent Fragment" was in his hands, Wyatt felt a wave of pleasure.

"Wyatt Barnes, I’ve given you the stake of the bet... Now, you must give an explanation to me and to Tatum Cruz, to all of ’Flame Peak’!"

As Teawhite watched Wyatt play with the "Seventh-Order Thunder Intent Fragment" and then fall silent, he couldn’t help but call out in a low voice.
