Chapter 1747: Chapter 1747: Unrivaled Below the Great Saint Realm?
"Far surpassing the typical peak of the Middle Saint Realm?"
"Indeed! Don’t forget who the Cox brothers are. In the past, they have joined forces to defeat more than ten peak Middle Saint Realm disciples from the Heavenly Palace... Disciples who just broke through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm less than a year ago are like sitting ducks in front of them, easily defeated!"
"Yes. Wyatt must have broken through during the last spirit pool baptism, meaning that he has been at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm for less than three months now... Under such circumstances, he forcefully defeated the combined Cox brothers!"
"I really didn’t expect that Wyatt not only has high talent but also strong skills."
"Indeed. Without certain techniques, breaking through to the peak of the Middle Saint Realm for less than three months, it’s impossible to even reach a tie with the Cox brothers, let alone defeating them."
...
Upon learning of the conflict between the Cox brothers and Wyatt Barnes, a group of newly arrived Mysterious Void House disciples looked at Wyatt Barnes with a hint of respect in their eyes.
In this world where respect for the powerful reigns supreme, anyone who is strong can earn deserving respect.
Now, Wyatt Barnes had earned the respect of a group of Mysterious Void House disciples.
"Do you see? Your talent and strength have already gained their approval... After this incident, I fear it won’t be long before the House Master seeks you out."
Noticing the fervent gazes landing on Wyatt Barnes all around, Matthew King smiled at Wyatt Barnes and said.
"The House Master is looking for me?"
Wyatt Barnes was startled, "What is he looking for me for?"
"What else would he be seeking you for? Naturally, it’s because he’s impressed by your talent and wants to take you as a direct disciple... or perhaps even a last disciple!"
As he continued, Matthew King looked at Wyatt Barnes with a hint of envy in his eyes.
In the Mysterious Void House, the ’House Master’ is the highest authority and also the strongest in Mysterious Void House. If one could apprentice under him, the prospects were limitless.
"Direct disciple? Last disciple?"
If it were any ordinary person, hearing Matthew King’s words might excite them greatly, but for Wyatt Barnes, it was more of a bother.
Previously, in the Cloud Skies Continent, he never acknowledged ’Master’, because he felt he possessed the lifetime memories of the reincarnation Martial Emperor, and nobody was fit to be his Master.
After arriving at the Martial Dao Sacred Land, he gained a teacher through knowing Trevor Baillie, but Trevor wasn’t a master.
Later, upon receiving Sword Saint Breezy Wind’s supreme Sword Dao method, the ’Supreme Heart Sword’ inheritance, in his heart he considered Breezy Wind his Master, and recognized him as the only Master he would accept. So even if the House Master of Mysterious Void House wanted to accept him as a direct disciple or even as a last disciple, he had no interest.
In his heart, a Master can only be one.
Currently, his Master is the Sword Saint Breezy Wind he has never met, having received the ’Supreme Heart Sword’ inheritance, he views Breezy Wind as his Master, and himself as the only heir to the so-called ’Misty Rain’ lineage.
Before the eligible Heavenly Palace disciples competed for places to enter the ’Holy Martial Secret Realm’, Wyatt Barnes undoubtedly became the absolute focus.
Mysterious Void House disciples gathered in groups of threes and fives in various places, occasionally looking at Wyatt Barnes, and the topics of conversation revolved around him.
"Wyatt."
At the same time, Enoch Mullins and Isaias Tasker, who originally stood afar, also approached Wyatt Barnes, with gentle smiles on their faces, they greeted Wyatt Barnes and expressed their gratitude, "Thank you for giving us a chance to cooperate with you."
Before Wyatt Barnes could say anything, Ebba King beside him couldn’t help but snort and interrupted, "You shouldn’t rush to thank each other yet, who knows if you can secure a spot to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm... If you can’t get a spot, naturally there will be no opportunity to enter the secret realm, and there’s no need to mention any cooperation opportunity."
"Miss Felicity is right."
Enoch Mullins nodded, then said solemnly, "I will do my utmost in today’s competition for spots! Of course, if I can’t secure a spot in the end, I can only blame myself for not being competitive enough, missing out on this cooperation opportunity. But even so, I still owe you, Wyatt."
Saying this, Enoch Mullins again looked at Wyatt Barnes, speaking seriously.
Not to mention, Enoch Mullins spoke in a modest and respectful manner, even Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but feel a lot of goodwill towards him.
"I am the same."
At this moment, Isaias Tasker also said.
"Hmph! Among the four of us, you have the least chance of winning a spot to enter the Holy Martial Secret Realm."
Ebba King coldly swept a glance at Isaias Tasker, snorting disdainfully.
Isaias Tasker was a bit embarrassed upon hearing this, but didn’t dare to say much, having experienced this little lady’s fierceness in the past.
However, he never expected that despite such a long time having passed, this little lady seemingly still held a grudge for his previous ’rudeness’.
Isaias Tasker knew that remaining silent was the correct choice at this moment.
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
Feeling the ’explosive atmosphere’ emanating from Ebba King, Wyatt Barnes was quite curious and sent a message to inquire.
"No grudge! I just find this guy unpleasant to look at."
Ebba King coolly responded with a message.
Wyatt Barnes was rendered speechless upon hearing this.
"Cox Mountain has awakened!"
At that moment, someone shouted, and immediately, including Wyatt Barnes’s group, everyone’s gaze shifted to Cox Mountain, who had been lying on the ground.
Now, Cox Mountain had woken up, struggled to sit up after taking a healing Pill Medicine.
Following this, Waylen Cox was also shaken awake by him, and the two brothers sat cross-legged to further digest the healing Pill Medicine’s potency.
As time passed, their faces gradually regained some color from their previous pallor. However, they still appeared very weak, barely able to stand while supporting each other.
Feeling the sarcastic gazes around them, they could only feel utterly humiliated.
At this moment, regret filled their hearts. If only they hadn’t sought trouble with that person, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.
With a wary glance at Wyatt Barnes in the distance, the Cox brothers prepared to leave the peak.
"Tsk tsk... Are you two brothers planning to leave so soon?"
At this moment, Ebba King leapt out from beside Wyatt Barnes, blocking the Cox brothers’ path with a mocking smile on her face.
"What advice does Felicity Taylor have?"
Cox Mountain’s expression changed, but he didn’t lose his temper and asked in a deep voice.
Given Ebba King’s background, he couldn’t afford to offend her. Even putting aside her background, in his current weak state, he was no match for her. Despite his inner anger, he dared not act rashly.
"You two are so foolish, I have nothing to advise you... I’m just a little curious if the so-called ’dogs without a home’ are like you now."
Ebba King said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Cox Mountain’s face changed drastically, and Waylen Cox was so infuriated that he started trembling, pointing at Ebba King, "You, you..."
However, perhaps because he was too angry, he couldn’t utter another word.
"If you don’t retract your claw, believe it or not, I’ll break it!"
Ebba King’s eyes flashed with ferocity as she shouted harshly.
Before Waylen Cox could react, Cox Mountain swiftly grabbed Waylen Cox’s hand and pulled it down, bowing to Ebba King, "Miss Felicity Taylor, my brother lacks manners, and as his older brother, I apologize to you and hope you’ll forgive him!"
The saying goes, ’One doesn’t hit a smiling face.’ Seeing Cox Mountain admitting fault to such an extent, much of Ebba King’s anger dissipated, and she lost the desire to further tease them.
As the Cox brothers disappeared from everyone’s sight, Ebba King returned to Wyatt Barnes’s side.
"You really are relentless when you’re in the right."
After Ebba King returned, Wyatt Barnes looked at her and smiled, shaking his head.
"Wasn’t I just trying to vent for you?"
Ebba King said, "Earlier, they kept provoking you, and when one couldn’t, the two of them ganged up... But you easily took them down."
As she spoke, Ebba King’s eyes lit up, "I say, can you give me a straight answer... What is your current level of strength exactly?"
As Ebba King said this, the gazes of Matthew King, Lumi Clifford, Enoch Mullins, and Isaias Tasker also focused intently on Wyatt Barnes, curious as well.
"If I say my current strength is unmatched below the Great Saint Realm, would you believe me?"
Wyatt Barnes asked with a smile.
"Of course not!"
Ebba King rolled her eyes at Wyatt Barnes, "You really think that just because you defeated the Cox brothers combined, there’s no one else at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm who can match you? Let me tell you, among the true experts at the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, the Cox brothers are far from being opponents... It’s likely that they’ll be quickly defeated like they were before."
Seeing Ebba King thought he was bragging, Wyatt Barnes shook his head and smiled, not bothering to explain.
Therefore, Ebba King became even more smug, feeling she had hit Wyatt Barnes’s ’soft spot,’ leaving him speechless.
As for Matthew King and the others, naturally, they also shared Ebba King’s disbelief in Wyatt Barnes’s words.
Unmatched below the Great Saint Realm!
Those six words are easy to say, but achieving them is extremely difficult.
As time passed, Vice Hall Master Lay Sinclair soon appeared, as he was the host for the competition for places to enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm today.
After Lay Sinclair appeared, Matthew King said goodbye to Wyatt Barnes and the others and went to Lay Sinclair’s side. He also mentioned the strong performance Wyatt Barnes had shown earlier.
"What?!"
Laying heard about this, Lay Sinclair was naturally shocked, "The Cox brothers combined, defeated by him in just a few breaths?"
As Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace, Lay Sinclair had some impressions of certain members within the Heavenly Palace, including the Cox brothers... The reason he remembered the Cox brothers was naturally due to their joint defeat of several peak Middle Saint Realm disciples of the Heavenly Palace.
