Chapter 2031: Wyatt Barnes Stirring Up Trouble Again?
Chapter 2031: Wyatt Barnes Stirring Up Trouble Again?
As Fore Reid apologized to Wyatt Barnes and left, the Heritage Hall unsurprisingly fell into a deathly silence.
Fore Reid, was actually forced by Wyatt Barnes to apologize?
And no longer restrict Wyatt Barnes from taking on tasks issued by the Enforcement Hall?
"Wyatt Barnes is just too incredible!"
"Although I’ve long known that after Wyatt Barnes demonstrated his talent with the ’blue spirit root,’ Elder Reid’s restrictions on him were pretty much useless... However, I didn’t expect Elder Reid to personally announce lifting the restrictions. Isn’t he just slapping his own face?"
"It’s more than just slapping his own face! Didn’t you see Elder Reid even took the initiative to apologize to Wyatt Barnes?"
"From today onwards... among the over 170 True Inheritors, I only respect ’Brother Wyatt’!"
"Yes, even the one ranked first on the True Inheritance List might not dare to be so rude to Elder Reid."
...
The group of Holy Land disciples in the Heritage Hall snapped back to reality, their faces showing astonishment, and they expressed their admiration one after another.
Moreover, when many of them mentioned Wyatt Barnes’s name again, they added the term ’Brother.’
In this world where the weak are prey to the strong, respect the powerful.
And Wyatt Barnes’s earlier actions perfectly exemplified the concept of a ’powerful one,’ making many of the Holy Land disciples present sincerely admire him.
While the group of Holy Land disciples was whispering among themselves.
"Trying to leave? Did I permit you to leave?"
Wyatt Barnes’s indifferent voice suddenly echoed, once again drawing the eyes of the Holy Land disciples in the hall.
As they looked over, the Holy Land disciples saw:
The ’Pegg Holland’ who had been following behind Fore Reid, after Reid’s departure, had somehow sneaked to the entrance of the Heritage Hall, clearly intending to leave.
However, before he could exit, Wyatt Barnes stopped him.
History repeated itself.
"Wyatt Barnes, you... what do you want? Brother Reid no longer limits you from taking on tasks issued by the Enforcement Hall... You should know when to stop!"
Blocked by Wyatt Barnes, Pegg Holland’s complexion shifted from green to white, but he ultimately straightened his back and spoke arrogantly.
In his view:
Even if he was afraid of Wyatt Barnes from the bottom of his heart, he couldn’t show weakness in demeanor.
"Know when to stop?"
Hearing Pegg Holland’s words, Wyatt Barnes seemed to have heard the biggest joke, bursting into laughter, his laughter wanton, echoing throughout the Heritage Hall.
After a while, as his laughter subsided, Wyatt Barnes looked at Pegg Holland again, his eyes flashing coldly, his gaze like a knife, "Are you... joking?!"
"Don’t do anything rash!"
Noticing the killing intent emanating from Wyatt Barnes, Pegg Holland’s face changed drastically, his once-straight back now slouched.
Compared to his previously overbearing demeanor, he seemed like a completely different person.
"In the next three breaths, if you dare to move... I’ll make your life a living hell!"
And as Pegg Holland’s face changed drastically, Wyatt Barnes coldly spoke, taking a step forward, closing the distance to a mere inch.
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wyatt Barnes raised his right hand and swung it with lightning speed.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
...
As Wyatt Barnes’s right hand swung back and forth, a series of crisp slapping sounds resonated in succession, akin to firecrackers, continuous and unending.
Wyatt Barnes’s hand speed was too fast, and within just one breath, Pegg Holland’s face swelled up, looking like a pig’s head.
Seeing this scene, the group of Holy Land disciples present couldn’t help but gasp.
Some even reached out to touch their own cheeks.
At this moment, even though Wyatt Barnes’s hand didn’t land on their faces, they could still imagine how painful Pegg Holland’s face must feel now.
However, even with his face beaten to a pig’s head, Pegg Holland didn’t dare to move.
Simply because Wyatt Barnes had already warned:
If he dared to move within the three breaths, he would make his life a living hell!
Wyatt Barnes’s words, he naturally dared not doubt.
Therefore, even though both sides of his face were swollen and subsequently numbed by Wyatt Barnes’s slaps, within the three breaths, Pegg Holland didn’t dare act rashly.
But in the depths of his gaze, a raging fire burned.
In his lifetime, it was his first time encountering such humiliation!
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
...
The crisp slapping sounds continued.
After two breaths, several of Pegg Holland’s teeth were shattered, and bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, glaring and arresting.
Three breaths later, Wyatt Barnes finally stopped.
At this time, Pegg Holland’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices.
"If there’s a next time, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
After stopping, Wyatt Barnes coldly glanced at Pegg Holland, then shouted, "Get lost!"
Get lost!
As soon as Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, Pegg Holland was so frightened that he immediately scrambled aside, making way for Wyatt Barnes.
After Pegg Holland moved aside, Wyatt Barnes strode forward, again arriving at the counter he had previously visited, "Elder, can I take that mission now?"
"You can! Of course, you can!"
The Elder from the Heritage Hall behind the counter didn’t dare to stop Wyatt Barnes from taking the mission to serve at the Enforcement Hall, hastily agreeing and quickly handling the paperwork for him.
Even Fore Reid, who had restricted Wyatt Barnes from taking the Enforcement Hall’s mission, had relented, so naturally, this Heritage Hall Elder wouldn’t continue to make things difficult for Wyatt Barnes.
In terms of strength, he might not match Fore Reid.
In terms of status and background, he couldn’t compare to Fore Reid.
If he continued making things difficult for Wyatt Barnes, he would just be looking for trouble himself.
Seeing Wyatt Barnes take the mission and ignore him, Pegg Holland left the Heritage Hall in disgrace under the watchful eyes of many Holy Land disciples.
After leaving the Heritage Hall, anger burned deep in Pegg Holland’s eyes, ready to erupt.
"Wyatt Barnes... Wyatt Barnes... I won’t let you off! I won’t let you off!!"
Pegg Holland’s heart roared continuously, his hatred blazing fiercely.
At this moment, he seemed to have completely forgotten that, with his talent and strength, he would never be able to catch up with Wyatt Barnes in this lifetime.
"Wyatt Barnes, tomorrow take this ’certificate’ to the Enforcement Hall, and you can complete the handover with the True Inheritor disciple on duty there... For the next month, you must stay at the Enforcement Hall and cannot leave without permission."
Inside the Heritage Hall, one Elder behind the counter, after completing the procedures for Wyatt Barnes, timely reminded him.
Simultaneously, he handed a ’certificate’ to Wyatt Barnes.
"Thank you, Elder."
After taking the ’certificate’ and thanking the Elder, Wyatt Barnes left the Heritage Hall without looking back.
After Wyatt Barnes left, the Heritage Hall, which had quieted down due to his mission, became lively again.
In conversations among Holy Land disciples, they expressed their awe towards Wyatt Barnes.
After Wyatt Barnes left the Heritage Hall, the events that happened there quickly spread among the Holy Land disciples.
"Did Wyatt Barnes stir up trouble again?"
"I heard he did... and this time, he offended an Elder with a big background at the Enforcement Hall, Fore Reid!"
"Fore Reid? Isn’t he the sole son of the Vice Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall?"
"That’s right!"
"Apparently, he didn’t start the trouble; Fore Reid deliberately used the excuse that Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was a ’yellow root’ to restrict him from taking the mission to the Enforcement Hall."
"I heard that too... Supposedly, Wyatt Barnes publicly revealed his talent root was a ’green root’, harshly slapping Elder Fore Reid in the face! However, I never thought the previous rumors were false, and that Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was actually a ’green root’!"
"In terms of Martial Dao talent, possessing a ’green root’... in terms of Divine Ability talent, he has mastered four advanced Divine Abilities with impressive achievements! Wyatt Barnes is truly defying the heavens!"
...
Soon, most people in the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land knew about Wyatt Barnes’ true talent root as ’green root’.
For a moment, the entire Fire Worship Sect Holy Land was shaken!
To know, in the past, everyone thought Wyatt Barnes’ Divine Ability talent was extraordinary, but felt the heavens biased against him, granting him only a ’yellow root’ in Martial Dao talent.
But now they know, the rumor of Wyatt Barnes’ talent root being ’yellow root’ was false.
Wyatt Barnes’ talent root was a ’green root’!
Previously, when Wyatt Barnes killed the first Elder Silver Flame at Black Tortoise Hall, Maximus Lee’s disciples ’Hudson Anderson’ and Hudson’s brother ’Kenny Anderson’, he was pardoned from the death penalty due to his ’green root’ talent.
He was symbolically punished to serve ten years in the Four Symbols Hall’s primary mining area.
Of course, at the Four Symbols Hall mining area, Wyatt Barnes didn’t stay for even a month and then returned.
Only because, at that time, he already had the qualification to enter the Holy Land and become a ’Holy Land disciple’.
The news of Wyatt Barnes’ talent root being ’green root’ quickly spread to all Four Symbols Halls, causing chaos throughout.
"Wyatt Barnes has a ’green root’ talent? How is that possible?!"
Upon hearing this news, many Four Symbols Hall disciples reacted similarly, feeling it was impossible.
After all, the authenticity of the rumor about Wyatt Barnes’ ’yellow root’ talent was extremely high, originating from the Black Tortoise Hall in one of the Four Symbols, and deeply ingrained.
"It seems Wyatt Barnes knows how to conceal the grade of his talent root... Otherwise, his talent root wouldn’t have been tested as just a ’yellow root’ at that time!"
In the Black Tortoise Hall, many disciples spoke this way.
In their words, they expressed increasing respect for Wyatt Barnes.
