Chapter 1740: Chapter 1740: Cox Family Brothers
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In ten days, it will be the opening day of the ’Holy Martial Secret Realm’ of the Mysterious Void House. At that time, only thirty people will be able to enter for training.
Of course, rather than calling it training, it’s more appropriate to call it ’treasure hunting’.
Inside the Holy Martial Secret Realm, there are many good things. The most attractive are undoubtedly the various divine ability relics hidden inside. These divine ability relics are ancient relics left by past powerhouses.
Few of those powerhouses are people from the Mysterious Void House, as Mysterious Void House only later was promoted to a quasi-third-rate power.
Mysterious Void House went to great lengths to recruit Saint Realm geniuses under forty, hoping for more strength in numbers.
If someone comes out from the Holy Martial Secret Realm, successfully breaks through to the ’Human Saint Realm’, and comprehends the divine ability recorded in the relics seen in the Holy Martial Secret Realm, then that is the greatest gain.
In the history of the Mysterious Void House, those who have come out from the Holy Martial Secret Realm, broken through to the Human Saint Realm, and comprehended the divine abilities recorded on the relics are few indeed.
And those who have passed down the divine abilities are even fewer.
In ten days, it will be the opening day of the Holy Martial Secret Realm of the Mysterious Void House. Since there are only thirty quotas, it is necessary to compete to seize the quotas for entering the Holy Martial Secret Realm.
The Heavenly Palace has ten quotas.
The other twenty quotas are divided among the other three palaces.
However, although the Heavenly Palace has ten quotas, the Heavenly Palace disciples eligible to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm are not happy at all.
If possible, they would rather go to the other three palaces to compete!
The other three palaces, though averaging less than seven quotas each, their outstanding young disciples are not even half of those in the Heavenly Palace.
The Heavenly Palace may have ten quotas, but the competition is particularly fierce.
On the peak of the perilous mountain where the Heavenly Palace is located, there is a vast platform where the competition for the quotas to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm takes place.
So, it was bustling with people early in the morning, and many people from the other three palaces came to watch the excitement.
Although they were also conducting competitions for the Holy Martial Secret Realm quotas today, it was definitely not as exciting as the Heavenly Palace, so those disciples from the Earth Palace, Mystic Palace, and Yellow Palace who did not meet the criteria for participation rushed to the Heavenly Palace early in the morning to join the buzz.
"The quotas for our Heavenly Palace are also very tight."
A Heavenly Palace disciple sighed.
"Yes, it seems like we have more quotas than the other three palaces, but if it comes down to it, the ten Heavenly Palace disciples who finally get the quotas are certainly stronger than the weakest three who get the qualification from the other three palaces."
Another Heavenly Palace disciple said.
"Isn’t that obvious? Let’s not talk about anything else, just those above the Middle Saint Realm... we originally had four in the Heavenly Palace. Over two months ago, two new disciples joined us, Wyatt and Ebba King, both above the Middle Saint Realm. In this way, our Heavenly Palace has six Middle Saint Realm powerhouses under the age of forty!"
"The six of them are sure to get the quotas to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm today... the remaining four quotas will definitely be fiercely contested. I suspect that without a cultivation at the pinnacle of the Little Saint Realm, one would have little chance of obtaining a quota to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm."
"This time the House recruited so many Saint Realm talents, which has brought quite a bit of pressure to those who originally met the criteria."
"Yes. When they first said they were going to recruit Saint Realm talents, I didn’t think much of it, thinking that however many they recruited, there would definitely be none above the Middle Saint Realm... but unexpectedly, this time not only did they recruit two above the Middle Saint Realm, but both came to our Heavenly Palace!"
"There’s no need to mention Ebba King, the House Master’s granddaughter from Tyrant Saber Manor, already well-known in our Mysterious Void region... as for Wyatt, nobody knows where he came from, and his strength is already the strongest among the under-forty disciples in the Mysterious Void House!"
"Wyatt was already able to tie with ’Lumi Clifford’ earlier, and his cultivation was undoubtedly close to the pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm... later, he even visited the spirit pool, and in just twenty days, absorbed all the spiritual energy in the spirit pool! Do you think it’s possible that he’s already broken through to the pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm?"
"Isn’t it obvious? I think he must have broken through!"
"I think he’s broken through too."
...
Around the vast platform, the Heavenly Palace disciples were talking amongst themselves, and the topic shifted from the quota competition for entering the Holy Martial Secret Realm to Wyatt.
Almost more than 80% of the Heavenly Palace disciples believed Wyatt has likely already broken through to the ’pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm’!
In the corner of the crowd, Lumi Clifford stood there quietly, with a faint smile on his lips.
Only he knew that the strength of Wyatt Junior Brother had long probably broken through to the ’pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm’.
The later baptism of the spirit pool was merely a boost on his path to the ’Great Saint Realm’ for Wyatt Junior Brother.
Of course, the reason Lumi Clifford thought so was because Wyatt had let him win last time.
Therefore, he felt that Wyatt’s cultivation at that time was already at the Middle Saint Realm pinnacle, and after the spirit pool baptism, perhaps he had not further broken through, but his cultivation undoubtedly became more refined.
Because of this, faced with the discussions of the Heavenly Palace disciples, he remained somewhat indifferent.
"Lumi Clifford, do you also think Wyatt broke through to the Middle Saint Realm pinnacle?"
At some point, two figures appeared beside Lumi Clifford. They were two young men, identical in appearance, dressed in white robes, with handsome faces, appearing elegant and extraordinary.
The person currently speaking was the young man in white on the left.
It’s indeed challenging to distinguish between the two young men in white, but there is a way. One bears a red cinnabar mole in the middle of his forehead, while the other has a black mole.
It was the young man with the black mole who was speaking with Lumi Clifford.
"I don’t know."
Upon seeing the two, Lumi Clifford couldn’t help but frown.
Although these two fellows bear no deep-seated enmity towards him, they delight in flaunting their strength arrogantly.
After he was defeated by them, they frequently came to challenge him, never showing any mercy each time.
On one occasion, after he conceded defeat, they still didn’t hold back, and he ended up bedridden for half a month.
Hence, Lumi Clifford harbored no fondness for them.
The two identical young men in white are the disciples of the Middle Saint Realm late stage in the Heavenly Palace, even stronger than Lumi Clifford himself. They are twin brothers, each individually more powerful than Lumi Clifford.
Once they join forces, leveraging the telepathic bond between twins, they can even defeat some at the pinnacle of the Middle Saint Realm.
For this reason, they are incredibly prideful.
"Lumi Clifford, you’re truly regressing as you age. That mere young kid, and you ended up in a tie with him! It’s truly disgraceful!"
The young man in white with the black mole, the younger of the twin brothers named ’Waylen Cox’, gave Lumi Clifford a disdainful glance and sneered.
"If you embarrass yourself, that’s one thing, but you’ve dragged us down too... Because you tied with him that day, now people are beginning to doubt whether either of us could defeat him after he emerged from the spirit pool!"
The other young man in white, with a red mole, named ’Cox Mountain’, looked at Lumi Clifford with a single glance and spoke in a deep voice.
"If you want to prove yourselves, why not spar with Brother Wyatt instead? Why show off in front of me?"
Lumi Clifford remarked indifferently.
"Lumi Clifford, you’re courting death!"
Waylen Cox’s expression changed dramatically as True Origin surged around him, clearly ready to strike.
"Did I say anything wrong?"
Lumi Clifford sneered, "I admit I’m not as good as you two. If you wish to find balance within me, I accept... But that merely highlights your cowardice, bullying the weak while fearing the strong!"
Lumi Clifford didn’t suppress his voice intentionally, attracting numerous Heavenly Palace disciples to gather around.
Soon, a crowd of Heavenly Palace disciples had surrounded them, watching Lumi Clifford and the Cox brothers with interest.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Lumi Clifford intentionally drawing a crowd, Waylen Cox’s face turned unpleasant. Should he make a move now, it would indeed validate Lumi Clifford’s words.
A tree needs bark, a man needs face; this face, Waylen Cox couldn’t afford to lose!
"Lumi Clifford, we will show you that either of us brothers is stronger than that kid!"
Cox Mountain said with a grim face.
"Anyone can boast! Wait until you can defeat Brother Wyatt before making such claims."
Lumi Clifford’s sneer intensified.
By this time, the gathered Heavenly Palace disciples had mostly understood the situation in front of them and began whispering among themselves, "The Cox brothers actually want to spar with Wyatt?"
"Either of the Cox brothers is stronger than Lumi Clifford... But now, Wyatt might have already broken through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm. If it’s just one of them, they probably aren’t his match."
"Indeed, the difference between the peak and late stages of the Middle Saint Realm is not insignificant... If Wyatt has reached the peak, unless the Cox brothers join forces, they definitely aren’t Wyatt’s match."
"You guys are going a bit far... Saying Wyatt reached the peak of the Middle Saint Realm is purely speculative; perhaps he hasn’t broken through yet?"
"If he truly hasn’t broken through, then either of the Cox brothers might still have a chance."
...
Currently, Wyatt Barnes was unaware that he had been targeted, and it was by the two strongest late-stage Middle Saint Realm disciples in the Heavenly Palace, a pair of twin brothers.
Outside the steep mountain slope, Wyatt Barnes and Ebba King ascended into the air together, heading towards the summit.
"Did you notify Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker?"
Wyatt Barnes asked, looking at Ebba King.
"Yes."
Ebba King nodded, then seemed to remember something and added, "I’ve heard that the competition for entering the Saint Martial Mystical Realm this time will be extremely intense... If both of them fail to secure a spot, how will you repay the favor owed to their elders?"
