Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1996: The Long-Lost Sunshoot Bow

"No worries."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, understanding that Reuben Willow meant no harm.

"A hundred thousand contribution points..."

Thinking of Reuben placing a bet of a hundred thousand contribution points on him, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, then opened, a flash of brilliance passing through as if he had thought of something.

"Senior Brother Kori, you go and find Brother Reuben... I have urgent business with Elder Asaiah!"

In a hurry, Wyatt said to Kori Willow, gave a sheepish smile, and without waiting for a response, he flew directly towards Asaiah Nigel, who had just taken to the sky to preside over the death duel above the ’Death Duel Arena’.

"Is something the matter?"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes appearing suddenly in front of him, blocking his path, Asaiah Nigel paused and asked with a slight frown.

Meanwhile, all the Holy Land disciples present, including Kori Willow, turned their gazes towards Wyatt Barnes, "What is this Wyatt Barnes seeking Elder Asaiah Nigel for at this time?"

The death duel was about to begin.

At such a moment, Wyatt wasn’t staying put atop the Death Duel Arena but instead sought out Elder Asaiah, leading everyone to wonder what his intentions were.

"Elder Asaiah!"

Under the scrutiny of all present, Wyatt raised a hand, revealing a very battered-looking bow that sported ten holes, making the entire bow appear even more dilapidated.

The only noteworthy feature was the extraordinary bowstring.

At this point, only Asaiah’s eyes faintly brightened, recognizing the uniqueness of this bowstring.

To others disregarding it due to distance.

Watching Wyatt pull out this bow, most people bore faces of disdain:

"What is Wyatt doing pulling out this broken bow at this moment?"

"Not sure. Maybe he’s thinking of using this broken bow to bribe Elder Asaiah to cancel the death duel!"

"What a joke! Not only would Elder Asaiah not deign to look at this broken bow, even if he were interested, there’s no way he’d cancel today’s death duel... The ’Life and Death Covenant’ is signed; if Elder Asaiah abused his power to overturn this duel, his position in the Life and Death Hall would end here!"

...

The Holy Land disciples chattered, their tones full of sarcasm and disdain.

Meanwhile, Wyatt looking at Asaiah, spoke again, "Elder Asaiah, I would like to pawn this bow to you temporarily in exchange for some contribution points to bet on myself..."

"If I die in today’s death duel, this bow will be yours. If by chance I survive, I will redeem it for twice the contribution points!"

As Wyatt spoke, he offered the bow towards Asaiah.

The very battered-looking bow in Wyatt’s hand was the ’Divine Sun Bow’!

In its prime, the Divine Sun Bow was an immensely powerful celestial treasure.

However, by the time Wyatt acquired it, it not only lacked a bowstring, but also its ten crucial ’Heavenly Pearls’ were gone.

Yet, even so, when utilizing the ’dragon tendons’ of a Five-Clawed Demon Dragon as a bowstring, the bow’s power remained formidable.

But, having later gained the inheritance of the ’Supreme Heart Sword’, Wyatt focused on Sword Dao, gradually letting the Divine Sun Bow gather dust.

If not for seeing Reuben wager a hundred thousand contribution points on him, he wouldn’t have thought of the Divine Sun Bow.

Now, he sought to pawn it temporarily with Asaiah Nigel, the Life and Death Hall steward, to gather some contribution points, aiming to redeem it post-duel.

He believed that, given Asaiah’s strength and stature, he would certainly recognize the remarkable nature of the Divine Sun Bow.

"Looks like you’re quite confident in yourself."

Asaiah gave Wyatt a deep look as he reached out to take the Divine Sun Bow, his gaze growing brighter upon examining it.

Though he had noticed the peculiarity of the bowstring earlier, he hadn’t paid much attention to the bow itself.

Now, holding the bow, he realized its greatest value lay not in the string, but the bow itself!

"It’s not that I have much confidence in myself... but if I die today, none of what I own matters. I might as well pawn something precious and take a gamble!"

Wyatt responded calmly to Asaiah’s remark.

"Tsk!"

At this moment, a snide laugh came from Wade Yorke standing on the Death Duel Arena, who glanced at Wyatt with disdain and sneered, "Wyatt Barnes, listening to you... Is this broken bow your most precious possession? How pathetic! You think Elder Asaiah would care for your broken bow? Ridiculous!"

The other Holy Land disciples also wore mocking smirks as they looked at Wyatt.

"Has Wyatt gone crazy over contribution points? To think such a broken bow could be pawned with Elder Asaiah for contribution points... Is he out of his mind?"

"This broken bow clearly looks like vendor trash. Even if offered for contributions, I’d hesitate to buy it."

"He’s got quite the nerve, trying to pull such a trick on Elder Asaiah with this broken bow!"

...

The group of Holy Land disciples spoke with disdain, feeling that Wyatt Barnes was daydreaming, attempting to gain something for nothing with a useless bow.

Moreover, of all people, he dared to approach Elder Asaiah Nigel.

Did he really think Elder Nigel was blind?

Even Reuben Willow, Kori Willow, Mats Davidson, and the others couldn’t help frowning.

They also couldn’t see anything special about that bow.

However, in the next moment, the reaction from the Life and Death Hall manager, Asaiah Nigel, left all the Holy Land disciples, including the four of them, completely bewildered.

"You... really want to mortgage this bow with me?!"

Holding what the disciples saw as a useless bow, Asaiah Nigel not only did not get angry, but looked at Wyatt Barnes with some excitement, appearing slightly out of composure to everyone else.

The reason Asaiah Nigel was so excited was not because of anything else, but because he discovered the extraordinary nature of the bow he was holding.

Just by weighing it a few times, he noticed that its power, although not reaching that of a ’Hundred Inscription Saint Artifact’, was not far off.

Of course, if it were merely a weapon that fell short of a Hundred Inscription Saint Artifact, Asaiah Nigel wouldn’t care, since even a Hundred Inscription Saint Artifact doesn’t catch his eye.

What caught his interest in this bow was its bowstring, which carried only a few low-level Saint Markings, not even qualifying as a ’Ten Inscription Saint Artifact’.

"With a bowbody this resilient... supporting a bowstring bearing hundreds of Saint Markings is no problem!"

Just now, Asaiah Nigel already tested it.

Even when he activated the powerful ’Saint Origin’ within himself, he couldn’t make the bow in his hand bend in the slightest, proving how rare and precious the material used for its bowbody was.

"Even if only a bowstring with hundreds of Saint Markings were placed on it... its power would surpass most ’Thousand Inscription Saint Artifacts’!"

On this point, Asaiah Nigel had absolute confidence.

While testing the bowbody, he also sensed a mysterious power contained within.

It should be noted that although the bowstring was made from the dragon tendons of a Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, only a few low-level Saint Markings had been inscribed, meaning the bow in total power was only slightly stronger than a normal ’Ten Inscription Saint Artifact’.

What made this bow’s power approach that of a ’Hundred Inscription Saint Artifact’ was primarily the mysterious power contained within its bowbody.

"Elder Nigel, this bow is quite good, right? I received it incidentally when I gained the legacy left behind by a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon... If it weren’t for being at the brink of life and death today, I wouldn’t have brought it out so easily!"

Wyatt Barnes said.

"Not just good!"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes mention that this bow was left by a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon, Asaiah Nigel’s eyes shone even brighter, and he readily said: "Speak up! How many contribution points do you want?"

"Two hundred thousand contribution points will suffice."

Wyatt Barnes said, handing Asaiah Nigel his crystal card.

Asaiah Nigel took Wyatt Barnes’ crystal card, promptly transferring two hundred thousand contribution points to him, and couldn’t help but sigh: "Now, I kind of hope Wade Yorke kills you... that way, this bow will be mine!"

In Asaiah Nigel’s view, exchanging two hundred thousand contribution points for a weapon stronger than a ’Thousand Inscription Saint Artifact’ was an incredible bargain!

In the Fire Worship Sect, the value of an ordinary Thousand Inscription Saint Artifact was at least one million contribution points, and even then, it was usually priced but unavailable for purchase.

Crafting a Thousand Inscription Saint Artifact is a technical work, even for the most outstanding ’Saint Markers’ in the Upper Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, it requires extreme effort to accomplish.

The transaction between Wyatt Barnes and Asaiah Nigel was completed in the blink of an eye.

Wow!!

It wasn’t until Wyatt Barnes, having received the two hundred thousand contribution points, went to the Bronze Flame Elder of the Life and Death Hall to place a bet on himself, that the group of Holy Land disciples around the death duel arena finally snapped back to their senses, and unsurprisingly, there was an uproar.

"Two... Two hundred thousand contribution points?!"

"Are you kidding?! That useless bow is worth two hundred thousand contribution points?"

"Useless bow? You’re calling a bow left by a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon a useless bow? What a joke!"

"No wonder Elder Nigel was so excited earlier; he must have noticed the extraordinary nature of this bow... It seems it really is a bow left by a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon."

"Hmph! This Wyatt Barnes is simply crazy! The divine weapon left by a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon, and yet he doesn’t use it in a life and death duel, instead pawning it for contribution points... he’s a gambler through and through!"

...

The words of Wyatt Barnes might not convince the Holy Land disciples present.

But they trusted Asaiah Nigel’s judgment.

"Betting is now closed!"

Meanwhile, right after Wyatt Barnes bet two hundred thousand contribution points on himself, the voice of the Bronze Flame Elder of the Life and Death Hall rang out appropriately.

Instantly, everyone present felt a tremor in their heart.

Because they knew, the ’main event’ was about to begin!
