Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2026: Wyatt Barnes’s Innate Spirit Root!

Facing Fore Reid’s aggressive demeanor, Wyatt Barnes merely glanced at him indifferently before shifting his gaze to the elder with the bronze flame badge from the Heritage Hall behind the counter.

At that moment, none of the disciples of the Martial Dao Sacred Land in the Heritage Hall could understand why Wyatt Barnes shifted his attention.

Then Wyatt Barnes spoke:

"Elder, you should have a ’Spirit Pearl’ for testing talent roots, right?"

As soon as Wyatt Barnes opened his mouth, he asked the Heritage Hall elder behind the counter for a ’Spirit Pearl’ to test talent roots!

Instantly, a dead silence enveloped the whole place.

After a moment, the area returned to noisiness.

"Wyatt Barnes is asking the Heritage Hall elder for a Spirit Pearl? Is he planning to test his talent root in front of everyone?"

"It seems so."

"Isn’t his talent root just a ’yellow root’? It’s said that when he first came to our Fire Worship Sect, he was tested twice, both times showing his talent root as just a ’yellow root’!"

"Does he think his talent root will change?"

"Isn’t that too ridiculous?"

...

Amidst the disciples of the Holy Land discussing, most were mocking Wyatt Barnes for being ’naive.’

"Hahaha..."

Fore Reid exaggeratedly laughed. After restraining his laughter, he looked at Wyatt Barnes with disdain and mocked, "Wyatt Barnes, do you think your talent root will change with the improvement of your strength? Ridiculous!"

Pegg Holland, standing behind Fore Reid, also wore a mocking smile, ridiculing Wyatt Barnes for being naive and laughable!

"Elder."

However, facing Fore Reid’s mockery, Wyatt Barnes seemed oblivious, as if he hadn’t heard it, directly looking at the dazed elder of the Heritage Hall and reminded him again.

At this moment, the elder from the Heritage Hall behind the counter snapped back to reality, retrieving a crystal-clear ’Spirit Pearl’ from his Storage Ring.

It was indeed the ’Spirit Pearl’ used for testing talent roots!

"Wyatt Barnes, do you really want to test it? Is there any need?"

While handing the Spirit Pearl to Wyatt Barnes, the elder from the Heritage Hall behind the counter couldn’t help but ask.

In his view:

A person’s ’talent root’ is innate and almost impossible to improve!

Of course, it is not entirely impossible to improve.

Legend has it, if one ascends to the Celestial Planes, a mighty being might be able to enhance a person’s ’talent root’!

But that is just a legend.

Furthermore, in the history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, there’s never been anyone who ascended to the Celestial Planes and returned, which also suggests that the legend is likely false.

Even if true, it’s almost impossible to achieve!

"Is there any need?"

Now, not only did the elder from the Heritage Hall feel this way, but even the disciples from the Holy Land present felt the same.

"Wyatt Barnes is really crazy!"

"It’s utterly speechless... does he think his talent root can still metamorphose and improve?"

"Hmph! If he wants to test it, let him test it... anyway, it’s an undisputed fact that his talent root is just a ’yellow root’ in our Fire Worship Sect."

...

The disciples from the Holy Land in the Heritage Hall whispered amongst themselves, all feeling that Wyatt Barnes was doing something totally unnecessary!

Facing the skepticism of everyone in the Heritage Hall, Wyatt Barnes paid no heed.

After receiving the ’Spirit Pearl’ handed to him by the elder of the Heritage Hall, Wyatt Barnes did not rush to test it. Holding the Spirit Pearl, he took a few steps towards Fore Reid and stopped in front of him.

Seeing Wyatt Barnes approaching him in a few steps, Fore Reid’s face changed involuntarily, instinctively retreating a step in panic.

Although he had just returned from outside a few days ago, he had heard various rumors about ’Wyatt Barnes.’

He knew the strength of Wyatt Barnes was so formidable that he could even crush Emma Wenston, ranked ninth on the True Inheritor Ranking.

And he admitted he was not a match for Emma Wenston!

However, after subconsciously retreating a step and seeing Wyatt Barnes stop in front of him without intending to strike, his face turned alternately red and white.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the gazes landing on him from all directions, with a hint of contempt.

This made him feel both ashamed and angry!

"Tsk tsk... seems like even Elder Fore Reid is quite afraid of Wyatt Barnes."

"How can he not be afraid? Despite Elder Fore Reid’s decent strength, he’s still inferior to Senior Sister Emma Wenston... Wyatt Barnes can overpower Senior Sister Emma, so it’s only natural he can crush him as well!"

"Still, he is an elder of the Enforcement Hall, and he’s been dominant all day... this sudden turn of events lowers his image in my eyes significantly."

"Indeed. It feels like now he is instinctively diminished in front of Wyatt Barnes."

...

Seeing Fore Reid stagger back a step as Wyatt Barnes approached, many disciples of the Holy Land couldn’t help but whisper softly among themselves.

However, although their voices were low, who among those present didn’t have exceptional hearing?

Fore Reid heard these words and was so angered that he almost spat out blood!

But he quickly channeled all his fury onto Wyatt Barnes, glaring at him as he coldly demanded, "Wyatt Barnes, what do you want?!"

"What do I want? What can I do! Are you worried that I would kill you in front of this many people?"

Wyatt responded with a mocking smile, "If you really think that, Fore Reid, then you’re bound to be disappointed... In my eyes, my life is more valuable than yours."

"To exchange my life for yours... That’s something I, Wyatt Barnes, would never do!"

With these words, Wyatt clearly implied that Fore Reid’s life was worth less than his own in his eyes.

These words infuriated Fore Reid, his face shifting between shades of blue and white.

Initially, Fore Reid came looking for trouble with Wyatt Barnes at Pegg Holland’s behest,

but now, he completely loathed Wyatt Barnes, viewing him as a mortal enemy!

Fore Reid, after all, was the only son of one of the Vice Hall Masters of the Enforcement Hall,

and within the Fire Worship Sect, even the ’True Inheritor Disciples’ ranked in the top three of the True Inheritance List dared not belittle him like Wyatt Barnes did in public!

"Fore Reid, watch closely!"

Just as Fore Reid’s expression became extremely ugly, Wyatt suddenly shouted in a low voice, raising the hand holding a ’Spirit Pearl’ and revealing it fully to Fore Reid.

Simultaneously, his Solar Holy Power merged into the Spirit Pearl at the perfect moment.

After ten breaths, the Spirit Pearl would change, revealing the grade of his talent root!

"Your talent root is a ’yellow root’, which is an acknowledged fact throughout the Fire Worship Sect... Even without looking, I could guess what the test result will be!"

As Fore Reid regained his composure, the disdain and contempt on his face intensified, his head held high as he refused to even glance at the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand.

Yet, standing behind Fore Reid, Pegg Holland, though also wearing a mocking smile while observing Wyatt, couldn’t help but have his gaze fall on the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand.

Meanwhile, inside the Heritage Hall, including several Heritage Hall elders behind the various counters and a group of Holy Land disciples, all had their eyes fixed unwaveringly on the ’Spirit Pearl’ in Wyatt’s hand.

Even if they were startled and had made up their minds about the ’result’, they couldn’t help but be drawn to the ’Spirit Pearl’ in Wyatt’s hand.

Time silently slipped away.

A breath passed in the blink of an eye.

Two breaths passed as well.

Three breaths too passed.

...

For the group inside the Heritage Hall, ten breaths passed in just a flash.

And after ten breaths, finally, there was a change in the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand, as it began to emanate wisps of faint radiance, which then surged forth.

Like a small, blazing sun!

And upon seeing the color of the radiance emanating from the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand.

"This..."

In the Heritage Hall, excluding the high-headed ’Fore Reid’ who didn’t look at the Spirit Pearl, everyone, including ’Pegg Holland’, widened their eyes in shock and disbelief as they stared at the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand.

Many rubbed their eyes several times, thinking they were seeing things.

Some even pinched their thighs hard, and when they felt the pain, they realized they weren’t dreaming.

"No... Impossible! Impossible!!"

Soon, an incredulous voice sounded, coming from ’Pegg Holland’ who stood behind Fore Reid.

Pegg stared at the radiance emanating from the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand, his face filled with disbelief, which is why he kept muttering ’impossible’.

However, the fact before his eyes seemed to keep reminding him:

Nothing is impossible!

From the beginning, with his head held high as if disdainful to look at Wyatt’s test result, ’Fore Reid’, though appearing indifferent, still paid attention to Wyatt’s test result.

Even if his heart was a hundred percent sure that Wyatt’s talent root was a ’yellow root’, he couldn’t help but subconsciously keep an eye on Wyatt’s test result.

When ten breaths passed, and the ’hissing sound’ he expected didn’t come.

In that moment, his heart skipped a beat, faintly realizing that something was amiss...

Following that, Pegg’s incredulous voice echoed again, causing him to shiver, and he immediately lowered his head to look at the ’Spirit Pearl’ in Wyatt’s hand.

At this moment, the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand was flickering with a brilliant azure radiance.

The azure radiance was undoubtedly announcing to everyone:

Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was not a ’yellow root’, but a ’azure root’!!

"How is this possible?!"

And upon seeing the azure radiance emanating from the Spirit Pearl in Wyatt’s hand, Fore Reid’s pupils shrank involuntarily, as if he had seen a ghost.
