Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1413 ’Hill Command

Hearing the words of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, the trio including Ling Yun were all shocked.

To cultivate three types of techniques from the mid-grade Saintly martial arts of the Human Order to ’Proficiency’?

One must know, Proficiency represents the fifth realm, as well as the highest realm, of Saintly martial arts techniques.

Kai Simmons, intending to cultivate three types of techniques to the highest realm simultaneously?

Without even thinking, the trio could guess that these were offensive techniques, movement techniques, and defensive techniques... However, they had not anticipated that Kai Simmons aimed so high.

Only Wyatt Barnes did not find it surprising.

Of course, that is because he cultivates top-grade Saintly martial arts of the Human Order...

Not only that, the top-grade Saintly martial arts he cultivates are not ordinary top-grade Saintly martial arts of the Human Order.

For within the top-grade Saintly martial arts he practices, there is a defensive technique that could even be compared to defensive techniques within Earth Order Saintly martial arts.

And Earth Order Saintly martial arts can only be cultivated by those in the Saint Realm.

Therefore, as long as he successfully cultivates that kind of defensive technique, even if Wyatt Barnes only utilizes True Energy without the power of his physical body to execute the technique... martial artists and Taoist Cultivators of the same level would not be able to break his defense.

The might of a technique comparable to an Earth Order Saintly martial arts technique can be imagined.

The Supreme Falling Star Arrow, any single technique within it, only needs to reach the third realm ’Entering the Door’ to be on par with Human Order mid-grade Saintly martial arts techniques cultivated to the fifth realm ’Proficiency’.

This is the gap between top-grade Saintly martial arts and mid-grade Saintly martial arts of the Human Order.

Therefore, upon hearing that Kai Simmons intended to cultivate three kinds of Human Order mid-grade Saintly martial arts techniques to the fifth realm ’Proficiency’, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised in the slightest.

"Unexpectedly, in half a year, it will be the day when Moon Radiance Sect holds the ’entry assessment’."

Wyatt Barnes had long heard from Jemma Clifford about the Moon Radiance Sect, as well as its connection with Hill Mountain City and the other seventeen cities... Therefore, he was only surprised about the Moon Radiance Sect’s entry assessment in half a year’s time.

"Wyatt Barnes, your talent is no less than Kai Simmons’... Work hard, and I believe that one day you will achieve great things in the Moon Radiance Sect."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City conveyed his thoughts to Wyatt Barnes using True Energy, his words full of confidence in him.

"Teacher, I will work hard."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

Now when he addressed the City Lord of Hill Mountain City as ’Teacher’, there was a sincerity in his voice that had not been there before.

"Hmm."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City nodded with a smile, looking forward to and feeling reassured about Wyatt Barnes.

"Teacher, I wish to leave the Main Mansion for a while."

In the evening, when he was preparing to retire to his room, Wyatt Barnes spoke to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City agreed and did not ask further questions.

Wrapped in the evening sunset, Wyatt Barnes left the residence and walked towards the outside of the Main Mansion... In his hand, he held a small jade plaque, which was given to him by the City Lord just now.

After Wyatt Barnes left the residence, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City summoned the trio including Ling Yun.

"You three must not reveal anything about Wyatt Barnes’s strength that he displayed today... Understood?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City said seriously to the trio.

As the saying goes, "The tree that sticks out gets the wind"... Now, with half a year to go before the Moon Radiance Sect’s entry assessment, he could not afford to be careless.

Of course, he was not worried that someone in Hill Mountain City would trouble Wyatt Barnes.

What a joke!

He is the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, after all. If his disciple encounters trouble in Hill Mountain City, he might as well go headbutt a block of tofu.

What concerns him is that the other seventeen cities might learn that aside from Kai Simmons, there is another ’genius’ like Wyatt Barnes under his wing.

The Moon Radiance Sect governs the eighteen cities, and the competition among them is fierce. If the other seventeen cities learn of Wyatt Barnes’s existence, they might interfere from the shadows.

An open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.

He had to remain cautious.

"Yes."

Although they were unaware of the City Lord’s concerns, Ling Yun and the other two complied with the will of their ’Teacher’ without any hesitation.

"You may return to rest."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City nodded in satisfaction.

After the trio returned to their rooms, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s lips curled into a smile, "I really did not expect that, after Kai Simmons, I would encounter another ’peerless genius’ like Wyatt Barnes."

Peerless genius!

This was his evaluation of Wyatt Barnes.

Keep in mind that even Kai Simmons had not received such praise from him.

Clearly, in his view, Wyatt Barnes’s talent exceeded that of Kai Simmons... at least, that is how it appears currently.

At the entrance to the Main Mansion, after Wyatt Barnes showed his jade plaque, the guards at the gate bowed to him with respect.

Only after he left the Main Mansion gates did they straighten their backs.

The jade plaque was given to Wyatt Barnes by the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"Hill Mountain Command... Is he the City Lord’s favored disciple, Kai Simmons?"

One of the guards muttered to himself, gazing at the receding figure of Wyatt Barnes.

Hill Mountain Command, seeing the command is as good as seeing the City Lord.

Throughout the entire Hill Mountain City Main Mansion, there are only two Hill Mountain Commands... It is said, one is held by the City Lord himself, and the other was bestowed upon his protégé ’Kai Simmons’.

"I have seen Kai Simmons himself; he is not Kai Simmons."

Another guard shook his head.

"He is one of the four new disciples recently taken in by the City Lord, Wyatt Barnes! Although his strength is not weak, it probably doesn’t surpass that of ’Wyatt’, the chief of the Dragon Guard’s Thirteen Protectors. Why would the City Lord give such a precious Hill Mountain Command to him instead of to Wyatt? I can’t figure it out, I just can’t."

One of the guards recognized Wyatt Barnes, his brows furrowing tightly together as he shook his head incessantly.

"It is said that he comes from the continent of mortals... and Young Master Kai Simmons seems to be from the continent of mortals as well. Perhaps, the City Lord has a special regard for talented Martial Artists from the continent of mortals."

A guard speculated.

Wyatt Barnes naturally did not know that the jade plaque in his hand had stirred up such a big commotion.

After all, although he had received the jade plaque from the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, he did not know the significance it represented...

Because the City Lord only told him, with this jade plaque, he could enter and leave the Main Mansion at any time.

Nothing more was said.

After leaving the Main Mansion, Wyatt Barnes went to see the little girl ’Maya’, the daughter of the captain of the City Guard ’Isaias Hayden’.

"Brother, brother..."

The moment the little girl saw Wyatt Barnes, she excitedly pounced on him, her little cheeks flushed and very cute.

"Maya, did you miss brother?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the little girl affectionately and asked.

"I did."

The little girl nodded like a pecking chick, "Maya really missed Brother. I even dreamed about Brother last night."

"Really?"

Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile, "What did you dream about Brother doing?"

"I dreamed that Brother was flying with Maya in the sky... flying so high, even higher than the flights with Brother Isaias."

The little girl said while gesturing with her hands, moving them up and down.

"Brother Isaias took you flying too?"

Wyatt Barnes chuckled, "Maya, you haven’t been naughty, have you?"

"No, Maya has been very obedient... Don’t believe me? Ask sister-in-law."

The little girl said as she turned to look at the beautiful woman beside her, who was Isaias Hayden’s wife.

"Yes, Maya is very well-behaved."

Isaias Hayden’s wife said lovingly, looking at the little girl and agreeing with her words.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of Maya during this time."

Wyatt Barnes turned to Isaias Hayden’s wife with a smile, then took out a Storage Ring and handed it to her, "Sister-in-law."

"This is...?"

However, Isaias Hayden’s wife did not take it.

"Inside, there are a thousand pieces of Top-grade Holy Stones, take them for yourself and Brother Isaias to use," Wyatt Barnes said with a smile.

A thousand Top-grade Holy Stones!

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Isaias Hayden’s wife was shocked.

To know that even though Isaias Hayden was the captain of the City Guard, his monthly salary was only a few dozen Top-grade Holy Stones... a thousand Top-grade Holy Stones would take Isaias Hayden two years to save.

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, please take it back, take it back!"

Once she snapped back to reality, Isaias Hayden’s wife refused Wyatt Barnes.

"Sister-in-law, please take it,"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile, "This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Elder Brother Ling Tian, since you and my husband are as close as brothers and not outsiders, there’s no need to be so formal... If I accepted this original stone, my husband would definitely be unhappy."

Isaias Hayden’s wife continued to refuse, adamant about not accepting Wyatt Barnes’s Holy Stones.

"If you really want to give, you should give it directly to him."

Seeing Wyatt Barnes persisting, Isaias Hayden’s wife could only say this.

Wyatt Barnes gave a wry smile.

He knew that this was the only way it could be.

After sending the little girl ’Maya’ to play with Isaias Hayden’s son, Wyatt Barnes turned to Isaias Hayden’s wife and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, regarding Maya’s ’identity’... Has Brother Isaias found anything?"

"No."

Isaias Hayden’s wife shook her head, "He followed your lead to investigate, and finally confirmed that Maya was abducted by outsiders who only stayed in Hill Mountain City for one day before they disappeared without a trace."

Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes could not help but sigh.

Although he knew finding the little girl’s kin was like searching for a needle in the ocean, he couldn’t help feeling some disappointment when he found out it was indeed impossible.

In Hill Mountain City, an inconspicuous inn.

On the second floor of the inn, in a corner room, three people gathered together... a young man, a middle-aged man, and an elder.

At the moment, the middle-aged man and the elder were sitting at the table, their eyes intently focused on the young man standing in front of them.

"Uncle Jiang, Elder Lin, that Wyatt Barnes has left the City Lord’s Mansion."

The young man’s eyes glittered with a murderous excitement as he spoke to the two before him.

If Wyatt Barnes were here, he would undoubtedly recognize at a glance that the young man was none other than ’Jan Clark’, who he had defeated and accidentally knocked into the manure pool before.

The one who was originally ranked ’Fifth’ among the Dragon Guard’s Thirteen Protectors.

For accidentally killing his distant cousin ’Gideon Cruz’, he was expelled from the Dragon Guard and the City Lord’s Mansion.
