Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 983: Completely Ignored

Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Completely Ignored

"Brother Barnes."

Gazing at the purple-clad young man in front of her, whom she dreamt about endlessly, Winnie Romero’s pretty face involuntarily blushed, as if blood might drip from it.

Winnie, now with a beauty that mesmerized all, revealed a hint of shyness that made her look irresistibly charming—igniting an urge in others to hold her gently in their arms and cherish her.

"Winnie."

Wyatt Barnes smiled and looked into the eyes of the woman in red, his gaze filled with deep affection.

Now, when facing Winnie Romero, even Wyatt himself did not know what feeling surged within him, there was no longer that sense of unfamiliarity, but rather a feeling of closeness seemed to have flourished.

Yet, the feeling between lovers seemed to be still a bit short.

However, every time he thought about the moment they had first entered the "Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasury," when he and Marshall Tyler fell beside the high platform into the "Bottomless Abyss," and Winnie resolutely jumped down after them,

his heart couldn’t help but palpitate!

His heart wasn’t made of stone; he could deeply feel the life-surpassing sacrifice Winnie had for him.

It had to be said.

After that incident, Winnie’s ’position’ in his heart had changed drastically, as if only a last barrier was left, and their hearts could completely merge together.

"Hm?"

As Wyatt Barnes’s spirit force involuntarily extended out and touched upon Winnie, he seemed to discover something and couldn’t help being momentarily shocked.

Winnie’s cultivation level had broken through to the ’Cave Void Realm Level Four.’

Compared to her previous ’Cave Void Realm Level Three,’ although there was an improvement, it wasn’t enough to shock him.

What truly shocked him was the torrents of scorching heat emanating from Winnie’s body, these intensely hot breaths hid within her, seemingly on the verge of breaking out, as if it was igniting his spirit force.

"What’s going on?"

For a moment, as Wyatt Barnes withdrew his spiritual power, his expression turned utterly solemn. The sensation returned by his spiritual power felt as though there was a terrifying flame demon beast slumbering within Winnie.

That demon beast, once awakened, would almost certainly spell doom for Winnie!

On this point, Wyatt Barnes harbored no doubt.

"Could it be the power of the ’Fire Spirit Body’?"

Very quickly, Wyatt Barnes vaguely guessed the reason—it had to be this reason.

"Still, Winnie is only almost twenty-six years old this year... She still has four years before the full eruption of the ’Fire Spirit Body’ power."

On this point, Wyatt Barnes was quite puzzled.

"It seems that within this ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasury,’ Winnie must have encountered some mishap... leading to the increasingly unstable power of the ’Fire Spirit Body’ within her."

At this thought, Wyatt Barnes’s expression grew even more solemn.

"What a beautiful woman!"

Winnie’s arrival successfully drew the gaze of Rey Jones, Camden Taylor, and two other young men standing not too far away.

At this moment, the look in all four men’s eyes was filled with amazement.

They had seen many beautiful women.

But one with such an aura, they had not encountered before, and couldn’t help but be moved.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian truly has great fortune!"

While feeling astounded by Winnie Romero’s beauty that could topple empires, Rey Jones also noticed the admiring gaze Winnie had when she looked at Wyatt Barnes.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but feel envious while also happy for Wyatt Barnes.

Though he hadn’t known Wyatt Barnes for long, because of their similar temperaments, they had become true friends.

"Humph!"

Camden Taylor couldn’t help but snort coldly, his stare at Wyatt Barnes carrying a bit more jealousy.

Upon learning Wyatt Barnes’s identity, his first thought was undoubtedly to kill Wyatt Barnes and seize the ’Rune Fragment’ from him.

However, because the other two persons, renowned in the ’Northern Desert’ like him, were also present, he restrained himself for the moment.

He knew that if he attacked Wyatt Barnes, it would inevitably draw the attention of the other two.

Then, the other two would definitely join the fight.

In that case, he might end up with nothing in the end.

Just as Wyatt Barnes was about to inquire Winnie about any mishaps her Fire Spirit Body might have had within the ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Treasury.’

"Wyatt Barnes, you’re indeed still alive."

A booming voice came from afar, breaking the silence of the scene.

Whoo!

Subsequently, under everyone’s gaze, a young bald man clad in monk’s robes swiftly flew out from a hole on the side wall of the vast cave, almost instantly closing the space to stand in the air near Wyatt Barnes.

"Sorrow!"

Looking at the young monk who appeared before him, Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow and slightly smiled: "Our agreement has yet to be fulfilled, of course, I’d be alive and well."

Sorrow, the current strongest young monk of the Cloud Sky Temple, the young monk who had arranged a fight with Wyatt Barnes in Grimm Wolf Fortress.

"Shall we proceed with our previous agreement now?"

Sorrow’s eyes slightly narrowed, a smile always playing on his lips as he spoke unhurriedly, "I am very interested in the ’Mystic Fragment’ you possess."

Mystic Fragment!

As soon as Sorrow uttered these words, Camden Taylor, whose face had already darkened when he heard Sorrow call out Wyatt Barnes’s name, now looked even more grim.

Earlier, when Sorrow had called out Wyatt Barnes’s name, he noticed that the two fellows from Emerging Cloud Sect and North Nether Sect, who were his equals, had their gazes fixed on Wyatt Barnes.

But it seemed like they hadn’t realized it for a moment.

Now, as Sorrow brazenly mentioned ’Mystic Fragment,’ he clearly saw the realization dawn on those two fellows’ faces, along with their eyes suddenly lighting up.

"This is bad!"

Camden Taylor’s heart sank, the very thing he had hoped would not happen, had happened.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost instantly as Sorrow finished speaking, the two young men standing in the distance finally made their move.

Their robes fluttering, they vanished from their spots, and when they reappeared, they were near Wyatt Barnes, staring at him with eager eyes.

At this moment, their gaze towards Wyatt Barnes shone with extreme brilliance, not merely looking at a person but rather appraising a rare treasure.

"Are you Wyatt Barnes?"

"The disciple from a Third-Rate Power who obtained a ’Mystic Fragment’?"

The two men stared at Wyatt Barnes, almost simultaneously questioning him with an interrogating tone.

Winnie Romero, who was having a quiet eye contact with her beloved, felt extremely blissful at that moment, but the sudden voices broke the brief calm like the cawing of crows, making her beautiful face change color.

Just as Winnie Romero was about to react, a gentle stream of Origin Force voice transmission entered her ears, calming her restless emotions.

"Winnie, have you encountered something in this ’Martial Emperor’s Secret Trove’? Why do I feel that the power of the ’Flame Spirit Body’ within you is no longer as calm as before?"

A voice filled with care completely subdued Winnie Romero’s restlessness, making her cheeks flush even redder, as if blood might drip from them.

The feeling of being cared for was always good.

Especially when it came from a loved one.

"Hmm."

Winnie Romero nodded and then responded to Wyatt Barnes with her Origin Force voice, "Not long ago, I obtained a ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Fragment’..."

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes’s pupils involuntarily narrowed.

He had been curious.

About the five ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragments’ outside the Martial Emperor’s Secret Trove, apart from the three he acquired, who obtained the other two.

Now, he knew that one of them was obtained by Winnie.

"And it is a ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Fragment’!"

Wyatt Barnes was greatly shocked.

Even among the three ’Emperor Realm Mystic Fragments’ he had obtained, the best was only a ’Level Eight Emperor Realm Mystic Fragment,’ which was far inferior to the ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Fragment.’

"As I held it in my hand, it separated from my palm, turning into a liquid power and merging into my body..."

Winnie Romero’s voice continued, allowing Wyatt Barnes to suppress the shock in his heart and return to his senses, keenly listening to Winnie Romero detailing her experience in the Martial Emperor’s Secret Trove.

This was Winnie Romero’s biggest secret.

Yet in the presence of Wyatt Barnes, she shared it without holding anything back, with no trace of concealment.

Wyatt Barnes’s expression became increasingly grave as she spoke.

"Winnie... she can actually summon and use the ’First Level Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Art’?"

A thought struck Wyatt Barnes.

If it were a regular martial artist, being able to summon and use the ’First Level Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Art’ might be a good thing.

But this concerned Winnie Romero, the bearer of the ’Flame Spirit Body.’

"If it were merely a common martial artist, the ’Ninefold Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Fragment’ wouldn’t exhibit such anomaly... That ’Mystic Fragment’ must have reacted that way because Winnie possesses the ’Flame Spirit Body,’"

Wyatt Barnes was almost certain of this.

"I wonder if the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor have any record of an experience similar to what Winnie went through..."

The concerned Wyatt Barnes anxiously scoured through the memories of the Reincarnated Martial Emperor, who had lived through two lifetimes, trying to find answers.

He felt that the change in the ’realm fragments’ inside Winnie, along with her ability to summon the ’First Level Emperor Realm Fire Mystic Art,’ might not bode well for her.

Wyatt Barnes and Winnie Romero exchanged messages through condensed Origin Force voices, standing quietly there, completely ignoring the interrogations from the members of Emerging Cloud Sect and North Nether Sect.

For a moment, the burly young man from Emerging Cloud Sect and the blue-clothed young man from North Nether Sect couldn’t help but grimace, their faces darkening.

"Haha... Riggs Leigh, Qadir Adams, they simply don’t bother with you guys."

At this moment, Camden Taylor couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his face showing a mocking expression as he looked towards his two old rivals.

Riggs Leigh, the leading young man of his generation in Emerging Cloud Sect, the only disciple of a Martial Emperor from his sect.

Qadir Adams, the leading young man of his generation in North Nether Sect, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of North Nether Sect.
