Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2027: Blocking Fore Reid

How is this possible?!

Right now, it’s not just Fore Reid who has this thought!

Inside the Heritage Hall, aside from Wyatt Barnes himself, all eyes were fixed on him, with no intention of looking away for quite a while.

These gazes were without exception filled with astonishment and disbelief.

For them:

The scene before their eyes was truly unfathomable.

"A green spirit root! How can it be a ’green spirit root’?!"

"Did something go wrong with that ’Spirit Pearl’? Isn’t Wyatt Barnes’ innate spirit root a ’yellow spirit root’? How could it be a ’green spirit root’?!"

"I also think there’s a problem with that Spirit Pearl used to test the innate spirit root... Wyatt Barnes’ innate spirit root has already been tested repeatedly, twice in fact. But both final results were just ’yellow spirit root’!"

"The Spirit Pearl must be faulty!"

...

The group of Holy Land disciples in the Heritage Hall had long been preconceived that Wyatt Barnes’ innate spirit root was just a ’yellow spirit root’, so for a moment, they too couldn’t believe what they were seeing was real.

Moreover, Wyatt Barnes had previously tested his innate spirit root at the Black Tortoise Hall, and he tested it twice.

Both test results were ’yellow spirit root’!

So, for a moment, most of the Holy Land disciples thought the Spirit Pearl had malfunctioned.

"Hmph! The Spirit Pearl must be wrong... Wyatt Barnes, if you have the guts, use another Spirit Pearl for testing! I just don’t believe it... A talentless person with just a ’yellow spirit root’ would be twice assessed as possessing a ’green spirit root’!"

Standing behind Fore Reid, Pegg Holland also sneered with disdain and contempt in his tone.

"Talentless?"

And hearing Pegg Holland’s words, Wyatt Barnes immediately looked at him, responding with a sarcastic smile, "Pegg Holland, you keep calling me talentless... In that case, I want to ask you: Do you dare to go to the Life and Death Hall and sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with me for fun?"

Sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ for fun?

And upon hearing Wyatt’s sarcastic comment to Pegg Holland, a group of Holy Land disciples in the Heritage Hall erupted again:

"Wyatt Barnes, has he gotten addicted to signing ’Life and Death Contracts’?"

"Isn’t it obvious? First, he signed a ’Life and Death Contract’ with Wade Yorke, then had a dispute with Senior Sister Emma Wenston and claimed he would sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with her... Now he wants to sign one with Pegg Holland! Isn’t this an addiction?"

"Although Pegg Holland is the personal disciple of the first Elder Silver Flame, Maximus Lee of the Black Tortoise Hall, and even a true disciple of our Fire Worship Sect... his strength is much weaker than Senior Sister Emma Wenston’s. He surely wouldn’t dare to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ to duel with Wyatt Barnes!"

"Isn’t that obvious? Unless he wants to die... otherwise, he certainly wouldn’t sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with Wyatt Barnes!"

...

A group of Holy Land disciples, in just a few words, was a hundred percent sure that Pegg Holland wouldn’t dare to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with Wyatt Barnes.

However, although Pegg Holland indeed didn’t dare to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with Wyatt Barnes, when he heard the discussions of the group of Holy Land disciples, he couldn’t help but feel ashamed and angry, his face alternating between red and white.

Pegg Holland’s expression fluctuated, but he dared not utter another word, as if pretending not to hear what Wyatt Barnes said.

If it were an ordinary person, Wyatt might have given him a way out.

But, this person was ’Pegg Holland’, personal disciple of Maximus Lee, and the ’culprit’ responsible for today’s events!

For someone like this, he never considered giving him a way out.

"What? Don’t dare?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Pegg Holland with disdain, sneering, "Didn’t you call me ’talentless’? Are you indirectly admitting you’re even worse than someone talentless since you don’t dare to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ issued by one?"

As Wyatt said this, Pegg Holland’s face flushed red with anger, extremely furious.

Accumulated anger, as if carrying the force of a wild fire, yet he dared not vent it at Wyatt Barnes, keeping Pegg Holland on the verge of exploding with frustration!

"Tsk tsk... It seems you’ve already tacitly admitted being even worse than a ’talentless’ person!"

Seeing Pegg Holland seethe with rage yet remain silent, Wyatt Barnes immediately tsked with a chuckle, further mocking him, "In my view... Pegg Holland, you’re nothing but a complete ’waste’!"

Waste!!

Upon Wyatt’s words, Pegg Holland let out a low growl from his throat, "Wyatt Barnes, don’t go too far!!"

Being called ’waste’ in front of so many people, even Pegg Holland couldn’t bear it.

Of course, even if he couldn’t bear it, he could only vent verbally.

Truly taking action, he didn’t have the guts!

"Too far?"

Hearing Pegg Holland’s words, Wyatt Barnes was amused, but outwardly maintained a calm demeanor, "Did I say something wrong? If you wish to prove you’re not ’waste’, you can sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with me!"

"As long as you have the guts... I’ll give you the chance!"

Wyatt Barnes’ words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, burning Pegg Holland’s anger even fiercer, yet he could not refute.

After all, why didn’t he dare to sign a ’Life and Death Contract’ with Wyatt Barnes?

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Fore Reid, who hadn’t spoken for a while, snorted coldly, glanced deeply at Wyatt Barnes, but then said nothing, and walked straight out of the Heritage Hall.

Seeing Fore Reid’s action, the group of Holy Land disciples inside the Heritage Hall burst into a uproar.

"What is Elder Fore Reid doing? Just leaving like that?"

"This is not what I expected..."

"Not what I expected either! I thought Elder Fore Reid would surely deem the ’Spirit Pearl’ problematic and have Wyatt Barnes tested with another pearl... but unexpectedly, he left without a word, without making such a demand to Wyatt Barnes!"

"Could it be that Elder Fore Reid believes Wyatt Barnes’s talent root is ’Blue Root’? That’s ridiculous!"

"I initially thought, even I wouldn’t believe it, certainly Elder Fore Reid wouldn’t believe it... but surprisingly, he does! He believes Wyatt Barnes’s talent root truly is ’Blue Root’!"

...

The group of Holy Land disciples discussed fervently, all somewhat unable to comprehend Fore Reid’s current reaction.

"Brother Fore Reid!"

Fore Reid’s reaction was unexpected for Pegg Holland as well; it was not until Fore Reid walked out that he returned to his senses, with a face full of confusion, trying to call out to Fore Reid.

However, Fore Reid ignored him, heading straight out of the Heritage Hall.

A problem with the ’Spirit Pearl’ that tests talent roots?

Fore Reid had considered this possibility.

Yet, in all his past experiences, he had never heard of issues with the ’Spirit Pearl’ used for testing talent roots.

Moreover, Wyatt Barnes’s confidence from start to finish made even him feel wary... If it was further confirmed that Wyatt Barnes’s talent root was indeed ’Blue Root’, he would lose face today!

After all, if it is repeatedly confirmed that Wyatt Barnes has ’Blue Root’, the ’excuses’ he previously used would fall apart, and he would be accused of abusing authority!

As an elder of the Enforcement Hall, even though he is the son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, he dare not abuse power publicly!

Not to mention the Vice Hall Masters in the Enforcement Hall; above the Vice Hall Masters, there is a ’Hall Master’!

If his abuse of authority were to spread, the Hall Master of their Enforcement Hall would surely be furious... At that point, his father wouldn’t be able to save him from punishment!

Thus, he decided not to pursue the authenticity of the ’Spirit Pearl’ in Wyatt Barnes’s possession.

Because he deemed it unnecessary!

Of course, he also thought it was too risky!

Testing Wyatt Barnes’s talent root to be ’Yellow Root’ would be fine, but if it turns out to be ’Blue Root’, he would be in trouble!

Seeing Fore Reid completely ignoring Pegg Holland’s shouts, the group of Holy Land disciples inside the Heritage Hall appeared stunned and incredulous, none expecting Fore Reid to leave like this.

Even several elders behind the counters of the Heritage Hall were astonished, not anticipating Fore Reid’s departure at this moment.

"Wait!"

Just as Fore Reid was about to step out of the Heritage Hall’s door, an abrupt voice sounded, breaking the brief silence within the Heritage Hall.

Next, under watchful eyes, Wyatt Barnes quickly flew out, arriving at the Heritage Hall’s entrance in the blink of an eye, promptly blocking Fore Reid’s path.

This scene immediately invigorated the disciples present in the Heritage Hall, each looking as though they’ve been injected with adrenaline, gazing at Wyatt Barnes with excitement and agitation as he blocked Fore Reid’s way.

Initially, seeing Fore Reid leave, they thought there’d be no more spectacle.

But unexpectedly, there’s a twist!

Wyatt Barnes blocked Fore Reid’s path!

Pegg Holland stood in the distance, initially perplexed and disappointed when Fore Reid ignored his call.

With Fore Reid gone, he couldn’t hold Wyatt Barnes back alone!

Now, seeing Wyatt Barnes actively block Fore Reid’s path with a ’going to start trouble’ posture, his eyes brightened immediately.

The scene before him was indeed one he was happy to witness.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Seeing Wyatt Barnes dare to block his path, Fore Reid immediately became furious, yelling in a low voice: "Do you really think I’m ’Emma Wenston’?"

Though he had heard of Wyatt Barnes blocking Emma Wenston’s path ten days ago inside the Heritage Hall, he hadn’t expected Wyatt Barnes to dare to block his!

Perhaps his talent and strength were not as good as Emma Wenston’s.

But he had a father, the Vice Hall Master in the Fire Worship Sect, a status akin to the ’Elder Gold Flame’.

Due to the special status of Enforcement Hall in the Fire Worship Sect, his father’s position was implicitly above most Elder Gold Flames.

Emma Wenston was merely the direct disciple of an ordinary Elder Gold Flame.

While he was the only son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall!

"Elder Fore Reid... Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Facing the enraged Fore Reid, Wyatt Barnes remained calm, then casually asked.
