Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1424: Entrance Examination

Zephaniah Chase’s reason for seizing Wyatt Barnes’s residence was twofold: not only was the location of Wyatt’s place highly desirable, but also because his master had a conflict with the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

Upon learning that the only people who arrived earlier than them were from Hill Mountain City, he set his sights on the dwelling where Wyatt was staying.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

What he never expected was that the disciple from Hill Mountain City he had chosen was an iron plate, an iron plate that Zephaniah Chase could not kick away.

"Scram!"

Wyatt barked sharply, kicking Zephaniah Chase, whose face turned from green to white, flying away without the slightest hint of courtesy.

Even a clay figurine has a temper!

Zephaniah Chase came to provoke him, naturally he had to pay a price.

Otherwise, it would seem as though he was easy to bully.

"Hmph!"

As the other three youths from Rowan River City changed their expressions, Salvatore Rowan snorted coldly, stepped forward, and actually walked towards Wyatt, "Boy, you dare to hurt someone from Rowan River City?"

"Salvatore Rowan!"

As soon as Salvatore Rowan took a step, he was stopped by Tabo Garcia.

"Tsk tsk... such a dignified City Lord of Rowan River City, could it be you wish to bully a junior? If I remember correctly, did you not just mention that this was merely a friendly exchange to pass the time? You seemed to have agreed, did you not?"

With just one sentence, Tabo Garcia managed to leave Salvatore Rowan speechless.

Indeed, he had just said those words.

"What now? Did you assume that the people from my Hill Mountain City were no match for those from Rowan River City, and spoke so boastfully... Now that your man is at a disadvantage, you want to renege?"

Tabo Garcia teased, as a steward of Moon Radiance Sect just like Salvatore Rowan, he too was not afraid of him.

"Tabo Garcia, I didn’t expect your luck to be so good. You lost Kai Simmons but picked up such a monstrous talent... I just hope that after he joins the Sect, he won’t turn away from you like Kai Simmons did and instead join under Elder Evander Mullins."

Salvatore Rowan huffed quietly, giving Wyatt a deep look, "I think... If Elder Evander Mullins learns about you having such a disciple, he surely will not let it pass."

Towards the end, Salvatore Rowan’s mouth curled into a mocking smile.

Upon hearing this, Tabo Garcia’s face changed drastically.

Truth be told, he was genuinely worried about this very thing.

He subconsciously glanced at Wyatt but then noticed that Wyatt was also looking at him... When he saw Wyatt’s resolute gaze, his heart settled.

"That will depend on whether he has the capability or not!"

Tabo Garcia swept Salvatore Rowan with a disdainful look, coldly snorted.

"Aren’t you going to hurry and pick a room to tend to your wounds? Or do you enjoy making a fool of yourself?"

Salvatore Rowan returned a chilly gaze to Tabo Garcia and then turned towards Zephaniah Chase, who was in a sorry state, and indifferently said.

Taking a deep breath, Zephaniah Chase fiercely glared at Wyatt, then found an unoccupied residence to move into... During this process, Baer Bear jeered twice, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

"The so-called genius of Rowan River City, that’s all he amounts to."

Baer Bear laughed gleefully.

His words caused the complexions of several from Rowan River City to change, yet they were at a loss for words.

The reality before their eyes left no room for rebuttal.

Whether the three youths from Rowan River City felt that Zephaniah Chase had lost face for their City, leading to their own embarrassment, or because they feared Wyatt, they all returned to their own rooms.

Salvatore Rowan did not linger outside either, and went back to his room as well.

However, before entering, he gave Wyatt a meaningful look, an icy killing intent flickering deep within his eyes.

Wyatt naturally noticed the killing intent in Salvatore Rowan’s eyes, but he was unfazed by it.

"His name is Salvatore Rowan, the City Lord of Rowan River City."

At this moment, Tabo Garcia also informed Wyatt of Salvatore Rowan’s identity, "Back in the Sect, he was always Evander Mullins’s lackey... Due to Evander Mullins, he has always been at odds with me."

Upon hearing Tabo Garcia’s words, the three of them had an epiphany.

"So it seems that Zephaniah Chase indeed came with the intent to provoke Wyatt intentionally... it’s a pity he kicked an iron plate."

Baer Bear chuckled, his face full of schadenfreude.

Wyatt did not say anything, but his expression turned somewhat solemn.

Zephaniah Chase, a young prodigy from Rowan River City, at the peak of Transcending Mortal Realm... Such cultivation indeed brought some pressure upon him.

After all, he was only at the Small Perfection of Transcending Mortal Realm.

"Wyatt, you needn’t think too much... I’ve heard of that Zephaniah Chase before, he is now thirty-eight years old. And you, are just slightly over thirty. By the time you are thirty-eight, you will surely surpass him!"

As if sensing what Wyatt was thinking, Tabo Garcia offered comfort.

"Hmm."

With Tabo Garcia’s reassurance, Wyatt’s expression eased.

Yes.

The opponent was already thirty-eight years old.

And he was merely thirty-one.

Given seven years, not to mention reaching the ’Great Perfection of Transcending Mortal Realm,’ he was even confident of attempting to ’Enter the Saint Realm’!

"That Salvatore Rowan, at first he thought that without Kai Simmons, my Hill Mountain City could be easily trampled upon by his disciples... The look on his face just now, I even find it delightful to think about."

Recalling the scene that had just transpired, a rare bright smile surfaced on Tabo Garcia’s face.

As time passed, more and more people arrived.

These people were either City Lords from the other sixteen cities under Moon Radiance Sect and the young talents they brought; or they were the Sect’s external Elders and stewards who had found young talents outside.

For a while, the residential area became lively.

However, Wyatt Barnes heard the noise outside but had no intention of joining the commotion.

He lay quietly on the bed, his thoughts flying.

Unconsciously,

he thought of his two fiancées and their unborn children in their wombs;

he thought of his parents, not knowing where they were;

he thought of Karina Hanson, not knowing if that girl was still looking for him.

At the same time, he thought of the three little ones, the Heaven Fortin Sect, Holy Island, and the Cloud Skies Continent.

As time passed, he also recalled his past life.

That iron-blooded career, now seems like a life from another era when remembered.

"It’s said there is always someone stronger out there, and beyond the mountains, there are more mountains... In the past, I thought the Martial Emperor stood at the pinnacle of this world! Not until I reached the Cloud Skies Continent did I realize that my past understanding was but a joke."

"The Martial Emperor, or Martial Artists at the Innate Returning Void level... In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, they count for nothing. Also, the environment of Martial Dao Sacred Land is vastly different from the Mortal Continental lands."

"It’s really unimaginable that the two places are on the same planet."

Wyatt Barnes sighed inwardly.

Before he knew it, the sky had darkened.

That night, Wyatt Barnes did not cultivate but instead slept soundly until he was awakened by Baer Bear calling him from outside at dawn.

"Senior Brother Barnes, it’s time for us to depart."

Just after Wyatt Barnes opened the door, he found Baer Bear waiting for him, "Where are the teacher and Lingyun?"

"The teacher and Lingyun are waiting for you up ahead."

Baer Bear said.

After leaving the lodgings, Wyatt Barnes realized that many people were leaving their houses, heading towards the inner area of the Moon Radiance Sect’s residence in groups... Among these people, there were middle-aged men and elders.

Most were young people, both male and female, but women made up less than one-tenth of this total.

This was something Wyatt Barnes could understand.

Whether on the Cloud Skies Continent or in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, women, due to their intrinsic weaknesses, slightly lag behind men in many aspects... Of course, there are also female geniuses who can crush many male geniuses.

However, compared to men, the number of female geniuses is much fewer.

After meeting up with Tabo Garcia and Lingyun, Wyatt Barnes realized that they were the last group and that the vast majority of people were ahead of them, heading toward the inner area of the Moon Radiance Sect’s residence.

"Teacher, why aren’t we flying?"

Baer Bear asked curiously.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes also noticed that no one was flying; everyone was honestly walking on the ground.

The youths, at least, were understandable, as none of them were ’Entering the Saint Realm’ or above, and were more or less restricted by the Moon Radiance Sect’s ’forbidden flight formations’... This was a restriction that Wyatt Barnes had already noticed the day before.

As soon as you enter the grounds of the Moon Radiance Sect, you are within the forbidden flight formations.

"The Sect’s forbidden flight formations are more advanced than those in Hill Mountain City... To fly over the Sect’s airspace, one must be a Saint Realm powerhouse!"

Tabo Garcia explained.

"So that’s how it is."

Baer Bear suddenly realized, and Wyatt Barnes also got his answer, "Forbidden flight formations are really amazing... Saint Realm? There seem to be very few Saint Realm powerhouses in the entire Moon Radiance Sect."

"That is to say, there are very few people who can fly over the Moon Radiance Sect’s skies."

Unwittingly, the four of them followed the crowd to a spacious plaza.

In the very center of the plaza, there stood a towering stone platform that was as large as the football fields from Wyatt Barnes’s previous life... And now, there stood an old man and two middle-aged men on it.

The two middle-aged men were standing behind the elder, with the elder as the leader.

"So many people?"

When Wyatt Barnes approached the stone platform, he looked around and noticed that there were particularly many people present, close to two hundred.

Even excluding the City Lords of the eighteen cities, there were still more than one hundred and eighty people left. They were all young talents here to participate in the Moon Radiance Sect’s entrance examination, each looking spirited and full of vigor.

On average, each city managed to bring about ten talents.

"Master, doesn’t our Hill Mountain City have too few participants? And that Rowan River City also seems to have brought only four young talents."

Baer Bear said somewhat puzzled.

"These young talents are not all from the eighteen cities."

Tabo Garcia shook his head, "More than half of them are young talents scouted by the Sect’s external elders and stewards from outside."

"They really are desperate, scouting so many young talents."

Baer Bear clicked his tongue.

"The young talents they scout, as long as they pass the examination and become external disciples... They can get a large number of ’merit points’ for each person they bring in. How can they not give their all?"

Tabo Garcia was not surprised by this.

Merit points!

Hearing Tabo Garcia’s words, Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.

He had long heard that the merit points of Hill Mountain City were interchangeable with those of the Moon Radiance Sect... And moreover, what could be exchanged and the Holy Grade martial arts that could be borrowed in the Moon Radiance Sect were even more advanced than those available in Hill Mountain City.

Which was to be expected.

Hill Mountain City, no matter how you looked at it, was just an eighth-tier power.

Whereas the Moon Radiance Sect was a seventh-tier power and was the governing seventh-tier power over Hill Mountain City.
