Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1964: Get Out of My Sight!

"On this journey, it seems we haven’t seen any elders from the ’Punishment Zone’ monitoring us... However, it’s certain they must be watching us secretly!"

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes glanced around, then looked ahead, and silently said, "They must be hiding in the shadows... hidden in places where we can’t detect them!"

The elders of the Punishment Zone, even if only a Bronze Flame Elder, are beings above the ’Saint Immortal Realm’.

For such beings, concealing their forms in front of disciples from the Four Symbols Altar below the ’late Heavenly Saint Realm’ is extremely easy!

Since those from the Four Symbols Altar in the late Heavenly Saint Realm and above can practically pass the Holy Land assessment, enter the Holy Land, and become ’Holy Land disciples’.

Therefore, Wyatt Barnes is also certain that the strongest among the Four Symbols Altar disciples serving in the First Mining Area Punishment Zone should only be of the ’mid Heavenly Saint Realm’.

"Nobody’s there!"

Suddenly, Wyatt noticed a place not too far away, a spot where there were no people at a Holy Stone mine, and his eyes lit up as he walked over.

Approaching the Holy Stone mine, Wyatt raised his hand, forming a sword finger.

Whoosh!

In an instant, a strand of sword light, condensed from ’Solar Holy Power’, shot out from his sword finger towards the Holy Stone mine.

However, with this sword strike, Wyatt discovered:

The Holy Stone mine he targeted had only a small surface area, very thin, and as he cut through it, it shattered completely, leaving not even a single ’Grade One Holy Stone’.

"What just happened?"

Looking at the Holy Stone fragments scattered on the ground, Wyatt was utterly dumbfounded.

He originally thought he could carve out a Holy Stone mine decomposable into ten or eight Grade One Holy Stones, but unexpectedly, it was just a small surface area of Holy Stone mine, strong on the outside but weak inside.

Damn!

What a trap!

As Wyatt Barnes was silently cursing here, those who had been following him lit up their eyes because they all noticed something from Wyatt’s actions.

"Such an obvious Holy Stone mine layer, and he didn’t notice it?"

"He just needs to extend his Divine Sense to discover it’s just a small piece of Holy Stone mine layer, no ’goods’ inside... such a simple investigation method, yet he doesn’t know how to use it?"

"Rookie! He must be a rookie!"

"Looks like the oversized basket behind him was obtained purely by luck... though we don’t know why the appearance time of this oversized basket doesn’t match the timeline, it’s now certain he is just a rookie!"

"Hmph! Rookies shouldn’t have oversized baskets!"

...

Meanwhile, a group of Four Symbols Altar disciples who followed Wyatt Barnes along were all secretly communicating with their peers, unanimously believing that Wyatt Barnes isn’t qualified to have the oversized basket.

In an instant, a greedy sheen simultaneously appeared in their eyes.

Whoosh!

Just as several Four Symbols Altar disciples intended to make a move, like a gust of wind, someone moved first, flashing beside Wyatt Barnes.

As this person moved closer, Wyatt noticed immediately.

As the individual approached, Wyatt unhurriedly stepped back a few steps, calmly looking at the burly middle-aged man standing before him, asking indifferently, "Anything you need?"

The middle-aged man standing in front of Wyatt, tall and muscular, like a tower of iron.

Despite Wyatt being over six feet tall, in front of the two-meter-tall middle-aged man, he appeared small in stature, purely a visual diminishment.

"You’re new here, aren’t you?"

The middle-aged man asked loudly, his voice booming like a bell, resonating through the ears of many present with weaker cultivation.

As the middle-aged man spoke, more and more people gathered around to watch the commotion.

Even some Four Symbols Altar disciples who were mining Holy Stones stopped their work to join the spectators.

Those expelled to serve in the First Mining Area Punishment Zone Four Symbols Altar disciples would naturally feel bored after spending a long time in the Punishment Zone.

Thus, whenever fights broke out, they were eager to watch, considering it one of their few entertainment sources in the Punishment Zone, granting them a visual feast without any cost.

"What’s happening?"

"Isn’t that ’Mitchell Knox’? Someone provoked Mitchell Knox?"

"Huh? The young man confronting Mitchell Knox has an oversized basket behind him... seems like I haven’t seen him before!"

"Could he be new? No, wait! Even if he’s new, he shouldn’t have an oversized basket, the timing doesn’t match... which means the oversized basket behind him was snatched from someone else?"

"Being able to seize the oversized basket from one among those eighty-nine people... his strength is definitely not something Mitchell Knox can compare with! What’s Mitchell Knox doing? Looking for trouble?"

...

A group of uninformed onlookers gathered, whispering among themselves.

However, soon enough, they learned the full story from some informed Four Symbols Altar disciples.

"Not even knowing how to use Divine Sense to explore the Holy Stone mines? Chose a mining spot with only a nail-thick Holy Stone layer?"

"Generally speaking, only newcomers make such mistakes, right?"

"Is he a newcomer?"

"If he’s a newcomer, then the oversized basket on his back is probably given to him... But the timing seems off. According to previous patterns, the oversized basket shouldn’t appear at this time."

"Forget the timing patterns... From his actions, you can already see he’s indeed a newcomer! No wonder Mitchell Knox rushed forward; he was thinking of snatching that oversized basket from the newcomer."

"Running into Senior Brother Mitchell, this newcomer is really unlucky... Mitchell’s cultivation, reportedly, has recently reached the ’Earth Saint Realm Peak’!"

...

A group of Four Symbols Altar disciples were chattering, all thinking that Wyatt Barnes is about to face bad luck, and he won’t be able to keep that oversized basket on his back.

"Earth Saint Realm Peak?"

Upon hearing the discussions around him, especially hearing that the towering middle-aged man’s cultivation was only at the ’Earth Saint Realm Peak’, Wyatt almost burst into laughter.

A Four Symbols Altar disciple at the Earth Saint Realm Peak wants to snatch his things?

Do they really think ’Wyatt Barnes’ is made of paper?

However, at the same time, Wyatt was also somewhat surprised, never expecting someone would actually want to rob the basket on his back.

Is it really worth it?

It’s just a broken basket!

Until now, Wyatt didn’t know how rare and valuable the oversized basket on his back was in the Punishment Zone...

He simply thought everyone could choose large or small baskets at will, not realizing the large basket wasn’t available to everyone.

Of course, Wyatt’s thought didn’t last long.

As the discussions grew more and more intense, Wyatt also learned from the surrounding Four Symbols Altar disciples that:

Before he came to the Four Symbols Altar’s first mining area ’Punishment Zone’, there were only eighty-nine oversized baskets like the one on his back.

All eighty-nine oversized baskets were, without exception, in the hands of Four Symbols Altar disciples at the Earth Saint Realm Peak and above to the Heavenly Saint Realm.

Moreover, newcomers who come to the Punishment Zone can get an oversized basket, but it’s according to a timing rule, completely based on luck.

Based on the time the last newcomer received an oversized basket, according to the time rule, the next oversized basket theoretically shouldn’t be his, Wyatt Barnes’s.

"Did that Copper Flame Elder from the Vermilion Bird Altar abuse his power to get me this oversized basket?"

At this moment, Wyatt realized this, and couldn’t help but internally chuckle.

Did that Copper Flame Elder from Vermilion Bird Altar look down on him so much?

Thinking he couldn’t rely on his own strength to obtain an oversized basket?

However, although he griped internally, Wyatt still accepted this favor from the Copper Flame Elder, vowing to repay it if he got the chance in the future.

"Are you deaf? I’m asking you a question... Are you new here?"

With a voice like a thunderous shout, Wyatt finally came to his senses, only to find Mitchell Knox looking at him with a hostile expression.

"What if I’m new here?"

Wyatt replied indifferently, asking in return.

Even if Mitchell was only an ’Earth Saint Realm Peak’ being, even if Mitchell was an ’Heavenly Saint Realm Peak’ being, he still didn’t have the qualification to make Wyatt Barnes yield!

"Good, good... Very good! Kid, you have guts... Originally, I thought that if you obediently handed over the oversized basket on your back, I could refrain from touching you."

Mitchell’s gaze towards Wyatt turned completely cold, "Now, I’ve changed my mind... Whether you’re willing to hand over the oversized basket or not, I’m going to teach you a lesson!"

"To make you understand, in this first mining area’s ’Punishment Zone’... newcomers must respect ’seniors’!"

Mitchell’s words were full of anger.

As his words fell, a surge of vast and majestic aura emanated from him, the Holy Power within him surging out.

"Senior Brother Mitchell is angry!"

"This newcomer is truly bold... daring to anger Senior Brother Mitchell! It looks like he’s in for a bad time."

"Mitchell has a fiery temper to begin with, and angering him like this, things might not end well."

"Let’s just hope Senior Brother Mitchell goes easy on him; otherwise, this newcomer might be bedridden for a while."

...

The surrounding Four Symbols Altar disciples discussed with pity as they watched Wyatt.

"Mitchell, is it?"

In front of everyone’s eyes, facing Mitchell’s surging fury, Wyatt just glanced coldly at him:

"I’ll give you a chance... In three breaths, get out of my sight!"

"Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself!"

Though Wyatt’s voice was not loud, it still overshadowed the scene’s discussions, clearly reaching every person’s ears present.

Suddenly, the entire place fell into a dead silence.
