Chapter 1986: Guan Xiu
The name ’Wyatt Barnes’ was not unfamiliar to Loyalty Grayson.
Even though this name had recently become famous throughout the ’Fire Worship Sect’...
But because the owner of this name had only a ’yellow talent root’, he had never taken the owner of this name seriously.
In fact, he had told more than one person:
Wyatt Barnes is just an ordinary person who got lucky!
An ordinary person is still ordinary, even if they get lucky for a while, they’re still just useless mud that can’t support a wall!
What if the Divine Ability talent is good?
Without Martial Dao talent as support, great achievements are destined to be difficult.
What does it matter if he can transform into a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’?
An ordinary person with a ’yellow talent root’, even as a Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, will not be truly regarded as an ’Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon’ in the Dragonsmith Clan.
The ’Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon’ in the Dragonsmith Clan not only represents status but also symbolizes strength!
In fact, the reason why the Eight-Clawed Divine Dragon has such an exalted status in the Dragonsmith Clan is due to their own Martial Dao talent and strength.
In the eyes of Loyalty Grayson, these are things Wyatt lacks.
In the Dragonsmith Clan, respect is given to the powerful, and the weak are unlikely to gain recognition from the clan members.
"So you’re Wyatt Barnes."
In an instant, Loyalty Grayson changed his face completely, the smile on his face was gone, replaced by indifference.
Even though he had heard that Wyatt Barnes had shown strength nearly approaching the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ recently, he still did not take Wyatt to heart.
In his eyes, that was already nearly Wyatt’s ’limit’!
After all, Wyatt’s talent root was just a ’yellow talent root’, reaching the ’Earth Saint Realm peak’ was almost his limit... even if he could break through to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm’, it would be very difficult for him.
For his whole life, by the time he dies, his strength at most would be comparable to the ’First Transformation of the Saint Immortal’.
Such a being isn’t worth Loyalty Grayson’s efforts to curry favor with!
"Hmm?"
Seeing Loyalty Grayson suddenly change his expression, Wyatt Barnes was initially puzzled.
A moment later, realizing something, Wyatt shrugged, his mouth curled into a faint helpless smile, but he ultimately said nothing more.
Wyatt was not ’a fool’.
He could guess one or two reasons why Loyalty Grayson had initially tried to please him; it was nothing more than seeing his limitless potential and wanting to seize the opportunity to curry favor early, lest there be no chance in the future.
And the change in Loyalty Grayson’s attitude was because he revealed his name.
Immediately, he realized:
At this moment, in Loyalty Grayson’s eyes, he’s no longer worth currying favor with!
The reasons are nothing more than two points:
First, Loyalty Grayson, like most members of the Fire Worship Sect, thought his talent root was just a ’yellow talent root’.
Second, Loyalty Grayson did not believe he could outmatch Maximus Lee, thinking he would die halfway in their struggle.
Regardless of the reason, they all tell him one common fact:
Now, in Loyalty Grayson’s eyes, he’s lost his ’value’ for others to flatter!
This is why Loyalty Grayson’s attitude toward him changed drastically.
"Truly realistic..."
Even though Wyatt Barnes had seen many similar sights along the way, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh in his heart when faced with this scene.
Of course, it didn’t bother him.
Loyalty Grayson’s friendliness or not doesn’t matter, as long as he honestly completes the registration procedures without causing trouble.
Fortunately, although Loyalty Grayson was opportunistic, he did not make things difficult for Wyatt Barnes during the registration process.
After the registration was completed for Wyatt Barnes, he looked to the young man on the left, "Go get the specific attire for the Holy Land disciple for him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at another young man, "You go prepare the identity token for the Holy Land disciple and the ’crystal card’ for storing contribution points."
"Yes!"
The two young men who assisted Loyalty Grayson at this Holy Land new disciple registration point naturally obeyed his orders.
Perhaps influenced by Loyalty Grayson, as their eyes glanced at Wyatt Barnes, they undoubtfully showed a few traces of disdain and contempt.
To this, Wyatt Barnes simply pretended not to see it.
Everyone has their own way of living; they are opportunistic, let them be, as long as they don’t bring any substantial harm to him.
"Holy Land disciples have identity tokens?"
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes flashed. Earlier at the Black Tortoise Altar, he only had attire specific to the Black Tortoise Altar, with no identity token.
It seems that the treatment for Holy Land disciples is indeed unusual.
"As for the crystal card for storing ’contribution points’, it should be similar to the crystal card for storing ’merit points’ in the Moon Radiance Sect... the contribution points inside can more or less be exchanged for precious items in the Holy Land of the Fire Worship Sect!"
This point was not difficult for Wyatt Barnes to guess.
Soon, the two young men prepared several sets of Holy Land disciple attire, an identity token, and a crystal card for Wyatt Barnes.
"Thank you for your trouble."
Facing the cold and distant gaze of the three people led by Loyalty Grayson, Wyatt Barnes politely nodded to them, then turned and left.
After leaving, Wyatt Barnes realized:
He didn’t know where the Holy Land disciples’ residence was!
For a moment, Wyatt contemplated going back.
However, considering the unwelcoming look he received before leaving, he dismissed the idea, "Forget it, I’ll just find any Holy Land disciple outside and ask."
With that thought, Wyatt drifted away.
"Elder Loyalty, isn’t it inappropriate for us not to escort him to the Holy Land disciples’ residence? After all, it’s his first time here,"
Not long after Wyatt left, one of the young men looked at Loyalty Grayson and asked.
"Why? You want to curry favor with him?"
Loyalty Grayson sneered with disdain, saying, "Even if Wyatt Barnes has a high talent for comprehending Divine Abilities, he won’t achieve much in the future... You should know, his innate spiritual root is merely a ’Yellow Spiritual Root’!"
While Loyalty Grayson was dismissive over there, on the other side, Wyatt Barnes successfully stopped a Holy Land disciple and asked where the Holy Land disciples’ residence was located.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Having asked what he wanted to know, Wyatt was naturally delighted and quickly thanked the Holy Land disciple he stopped.
The Holy Land disciple in front of Wyatt was a tall, middle-aged man with an honest appearance, looking like a sincere person.
In response to Wyatt’s gratitude, he quickly waved his hand, "We’re fellow disciples, no need to be polite."
In his words and actions, the middle-aged man also displayed an honest demeanor.
"Junior brother!"
Seeing Wyatt about to turn and leave, the middle-aged man called out to him.
"Hmm?"
Wyatt looked at the middle-aged man with a puzzled expression.
"How about...I walk you over there?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"No need."
Wyatt knew that the direction wasn’t convenient for the other, evident from the direction he was going earlier, so he refused the good intention straight away.
"Really no need?"
The middle-aged man seemed a bit hesitant.
"Really no need."
Wyatt shook his head with a smile, and then without further ado, headed in the direction previously pointed out by the middle-aged man...the direction that led to the Holy Land disciples’ residence.
"Guanshu, do you know that Black Tortoise altar disciple?"
Meanwhile, a young man passing by approached the middle-aged man with curiosity, asking.
Judging by the young man’s attire, he was obviously also a Holy Land disciple.
"I don’t know him."
The middle-aged man ’Guanshu’ shook his head, then chuckled naively, "He is likely a new disciple who just arrived at our Holy Land... He didn’t know the direction to the Holy Land disciples’ residence, so he came to ask me."
"Likely? He’s definitely a new disciple who just came to our Holy Land!"
The young man asserted firmly: "Moreover, there’s a high chance he was personally recommended by the Black Tortoise altar master... Our Holy Land’s assessment for the Four Symbols Altar disciples starts in a while, his early admission must be due to exceptional talent! Otherwise, he couldn’t have gotten the Black Tortoise altar master’s recommendation."
"Recommended by the Black Tortoise altar master? So impressive?"
Guanshu was a bit belated in realizing the significance, as he hadn’t contemplated deeply despite noticing Wyatt’s unique Black Tortoise altar disciple attire.
"I’m really exasperated with you... Such a great opportunity, and you just missed it! If it were me, I’d create chances to befriend such a genius... Yet you, he asked for directions, you didn’t even walk him there. If you establish a connection with him, you’ll surely benefit in the future!"
The young man looked at Guanshu, a bit disappointed with his lack of ambition.
"Is it still friendship if you calculate it so?"
However, upon hearing the young man’s words, Guanshu remained indifferent.
"Guanshu, catch up to him... There’s still a chance now."
The young man glanced at the silhouette disappearing into the distance, then reminded Guanshu.
"Not going!"
Guanshu was stubborn, "I won’t make friends with ulterior motives... Friends made this way can’t be called friends!"
After speaking, Guanshu left on his own.
"What a blockhead! Rotting wood can’t be carved!"
Seeing Guanshu uninterested in his suggestion, the young man couldn’t help but curse, feeling exasperated.
About a quarter-hour later, Wyatt arrived at the Holy Land disciples’ residence.
The Holy Land disciples’ residence was not graded, so there was no competition.
The Holy Land disciples’ residence was located within a vast valley.
The residence consisted of small courtyards standing around the valley, each with flowers, grass, a stone table, and several stone stools.
Behind each courtyard was a standalone stone house.
The stone house had stone doors that, at a glance, clearly had excellent soundproofing.
