Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1995: One Hundred Thousand Contribution Points, Betting on Wyatt Barnes!

"No worries... as long as there’s a profit to be made."

Wyatt Barnes responded to Mats Davidson through voice transmission, noticing that Mats didn’t have much faith in him. He understood that Mats’s willingness to bet on him was due to other reasons.

At the same time, Wyatt looked at the Holy Land disciple ’Guan Xiu’ who had helped him find his way ten days ago and had reminded him out of concern today.

Just as he was about to send a voice transmission to remind Guan Xiu to place a bet on him, he discovered that Guan Xiu had already made his move, "Three thousand five hundred contribution points, on Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes!"

Without Wyatt’s reminder, Guan Xiu had placed a bet of three thousand five hundred contribution points, all on Wyatt Barnes.

Instantly, a warm feeling surged in Wyatt’s heart.

At this moment, Guan Xiu gave him a sense of recognition, a feeling that made him feel extremely comfortable.

As Guan Xiu placed his bet, the originally noisy atmosphere within the Life and Death Hall fell silent.

One by one, the Holy Land disciples focused their gaze on Guan Xiu, each showing a look of astonishment.

"Three thousand five hundred contribution points? All on Wyatt Barnes? He’s not afraid of losing it all!"

"I know him, he’s called ’Guan Xiu’, considered an experienced Holy Land disciple in our Fire Worship Sect... However, those three thousand five hundred contribution points probably comprise his entire fortune! He’s really got guts, not afraid of losing everything!"

"Regardless, both he and Mats have set a good example... Now, I’m not worried about not earning contribution points."

"That makes sense indeed!"

...

Many Holy Land disciples laughed.

"Guan Xiu, you’re insane!"

Some disciples who knew Guan Xiu stared at him wide-eyed, thinking he had lost his mind.

In their view:

In such an obvious situation, only a ’fool’ would bet on Wyatt Barnes!

However, Guan Xiu chose to ignore these doubts and immediately looked at Wyatt Barnes, transmitting, "Senior Brother Wyatt, given the current situation, I can’t do much to help... I placed all the contribution points in my crystal card on you, it’s also my way of supporting you. Good luck!"

"Today, I will make sure you earn a fortune!"

Wyatt gave Guan Xiu a reassuring look before withdrawing his gaze.

There’s no denying that the group of Holy Land disciples present overestimated the impact of Mats and Guan Xiu’s leading example...

After Guan Xiu wagered three thousand five hundred contribution points on Wyatt Barnes, although others did place bets on Wyatt as well, the subsequent bets combined didn’t reach three thousand contribution points.

"The bets on Wyatt Barnes are too few, aren’t they?"

"It’s not too few... Having some is better than none."

"Today’s ’Death Duel Arena’ must have very exaggerated odds... I estimate that the contribution points placed on Senior Brother Wade Yorke are at least eight hundred thousand, if not a million!"

"I think so too."

"I placed a bet of a thousand contribution points... Even if Senior Brother Wade wins, I estimate I might only earn a few points. Oh well, at least it’s a sure win, even if only a little."

"I bet three thousand contribution points. However, the odds are so low, I estimate I might only earn a dozen points."

...

As a group of Holy Land disciples chatted, they flew into the surrounding audience seats of the Death Duel Arena.

Once seated, their gazes unanimously landed on the two people standing in the Death Duel Arena, waiting for the ’life-and-death duel’ to begin.

In about half an hour and another quarter-hour, most of those intending to place bets had done so.

Fifteen minutes later, the life-and-death duel would officially begin!

During this quarter-hour, aside from the next half-quarter still accepting bets, the ’odds’ for the wager initiated by the Life and Death Hall, acting as the bookmaker, would also be calculated and revealed.

"The total contribution points bet on Wyatt Barnes amounts to only about six thousand... But the points on Senior Brother Wade Yorke must be tens of thousands or even millions! The odds must be outrageous."

"Indeed. Let’s just hope it’s less than two hundred to one."

"I thought I could seize the opportunity to earn some, but I didn’t expect nearly everyone to place their points on Senior Brother Wade Yorke... Seems no one here is foolish!"

...

The Holy Land disciples in the audience discussed the betting situation of the ’wager’ initiated on Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke’s life-and-death duel, eagerly anticipating the final ’odds’.

"Now, we only hope the elders of the Life and Death Hall have also bet... and that they’ve placed their bets on Wyatt Barnes. Otherwise, the odds really won’t be worth looking at!"

Suddenly, a Holy Land disciple remembered that even the elders of the Life and Death Hall could place bets, sparking a face full of expectation.

"I doubt it. The elders of the Life and Death Hall are all ’old foxes’, they wouldn’t bet on Wyatt Barnes!"

Following another disciple’s remark, the enthusiasm of the first disciple was mercilessly extinguished like a bucket of cold water, with no remnant left.

"I wager ten thousand contribution points on Wyatt Barnes!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside the Life and Death Hall, startling everyone inside.

Even the Life and Death Hall’s manager ’Asaiah Nigel’ couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

A moment later, under everyone’s watchful eyes, two figures appeared side by side within the Life and Death Hall.

It was two young men.

And the appearance of the two young men bore some resemblance to each other.

"Brother Kori Willow?"

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on the young man on the right, and he was immediately surprised, because he hadn’t expected to meet him here.

Hasn’t the Holy Land exam started yet?

How could he appear in the Holy Land, and dressed in the attire of the Holy Land disciples?

The person before Wyatt was none other than ’Kori Willow,’ the White Tiger Altar disciple he had met while looking for Oliver Watson among the Four Symbols’ altars.

Back then, Kori Willow’s cultivation level was already at the ’Heavenly Saint Realm late stage,’ so passing the forthcoming ’Holy Land exam’ would not have been difficult.

Wyatt had thought of meeting Kori Willow again, but he believed that would be after the Holy Land exam.

Unexpectedly, before the Holy Land exam had even begun, he encountered Kori Willow ahead of time.

"It’s Brother Reuben Willow!"

"It really is Brother Reuben Willow! Who is this Holy Land disciple standing beside him? Why do they look so similar?"

"I heard Brother Reuben Willow has a cousin in one of the Four Symbols’ altars, the ’White Tiger Altar’... Could he be Brother Reuben Willow’s cousin? Hasn’t the Holy Land exam started yet? Why is he here?"

...

While Wyatt Barnes was surprised that Kori Willow appeared here, most of the Black Tortoise Altar disciples present were also shocked by the presence of the young man next to Kori Willow.

Even Wade Yorke, who was confronting Wyatt Barnes, couldn’t help but show some wariness in his eyes when looking at the young man beside Kori Willow.

Reuben Willow, like him, was a ’True Inheritor’!

However, compared to him, Reuben Willow’s reputation was much greater!

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, there is a ranking list for True Inheritors called the ’True Inheritance List,’ with only one hundred spots available. Only the strongest hundred among the more than one hundred seventy True Inheritors are eligible to be listed.

Wade Yorke is yet to qualify for the ’True Inheritance List.’

But Reuben Willow already ranked twenty-seventh on the ’True Inheritance List,’ making him a standout among True Inheritors in the Fire Worship Sect Holy Land.

For this reason, his appearance caused quite a stir.

"Why would Brother Reuben Willow come? And he just said he wants to bet ’a hundred thousand contribution points’ on Wyatt Barnes... Is he joking?"

Under the confused gazes of many Holy Land disciples, Reuben Willow approached the Copper Flame Elder of the Life and Death Hall, took out a crystal card, and swiftly wagered a hundred thousand contribution points!

Throughout the process, he didn’t even furrow his brow.

"Does Brother Reuben Willow have that much confidence in Wyatt Barnes?"

"My God! Seeing Brother Reuben Willow do this, I regret having wagered all my contribution points on Brother Wade Yorke."

"I’m now tempted to place some bets on Wyatt Barnes, not for any reason other than the fact that he has gained Brother Reuben Willow’s favor and made him wager a hundred thousand contribution points on him!"

...

When many Holy Land disciples were getting restless, they saw:

Whoosh!

Wyatt Barnes, who had been standing atop the death duel arena, suddenly rose into the air and shot straight towards the young man who arrived with Reuben Willow.

"Brother Kori Willow, when did you come to the ’Holy Land’? And how did you become a ’Holy Land disciple’?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Kori Willow in surprise and asked.

Although he had only met Kori Willow once before, they had clicked due to their similar nature, which didn’t prevent them from becoming friends.

As such, seeing Kori Willow appear in the Life and Death Hall, he was both surprised and delighted.

"Brother Wyatt, is it fine for you to have successfully comprehended the holy Divine Ability of the Black Tortoise Altar, but it isn’t fine for me to successfully comprehend the Divine Ability of the White Tiger Altar?"

Kori Willow chuckled, revealing his reason for coming to the Holy Land and becoming a Holy Land disciple.

It turns out Kori Willow was able to come to the Holy Land early and become a ’Holy Land disciple’ because he had successfully comprehended the Divine Ability of the White Tiger Altar.

"Of course not! I’m just surprised."

Wyatt Barnes smiled awkwardly.

"You must be Wyatt Barnes?"

Meanwhile, having finished placing his bet, Reuben Willow returned to Kori Willow’s side, cast a cold and calm glance at Wyatt Barnes, and said, "My cousin asked me to wager the contribution points on you... I hope you don’t let him down, and don’t let me down!"

After speaking, Reuben Willow didn’t wait for Wyatt Barnes to respond and directly flew out, heading towards a nearby spectator stand.

The spectator stand had a great view and was already filled with people.

However, seeing Reuben Willow coming, the group of Holy Land disciples sitting in that spectator stand quickly got up and vacated their seats as if Reuben Willow was some kind of ’plague god.’

"Brother Wyatt, my cousin has that kind of temperament, please don’t mind him."

Kori Willow looked at Wyatt Barnes and smiled apologetically.
