Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749: A Familiar Scene
In the Mysterious Void House, the House Master remained unmarried for life. He once took a personal disciple in his early years, but the disciple died prematurely.
Since then, the House Master of Mysterious Void House has not taken any more students.
Because of this, in the Mysterious Void House, Tommy Dunn is considered the foremost member of the second generation.
This is because his grandfather is one of the two Protectors of Mysterious Void House, and his father is one of the Vice House Masters of Mysterious Void House.
With such a background in Mysterious Void House, who can compare, except for the descendants under the House Master’s knee?
"Hmm?"
Soon, Ewen Price noticed that facing the conflict between Wyatt Barnes and Tommy Dunn, not only was the Vice Hall Master Lay Sinclair from their Heavenly Palace calm, but Lay Sinclair’s personal disciple Matthew King also remained calm throughout, seeming not to worry about Wyatt Barnes.
This left him somewhat puzzled.
As far as he knew, Matthew King’s relationship with Wyatt seemed good, but at this critical moment, why didn’t they worry about Wyatt?
"Could it be they think there won’t be any issues between Wyatt and Tommy Dunn’s conflict?"
Thinking this, Ewen Price’s heart suddenly shook.
"Could it be..."
Soon, an idea emerged in his mind, an incredibly shocking thought, "In Mysterious Void House, if there’s a young disciple who isn’t afraid of Tommy Dunn, it would have to be someone with the House Master as a backing... Could it be that Wyatt has caught the House Master’s eye?"
The thought made Ewen Price’s heart beat faster.
In their Mysterious Void House, the House Master is the strongest figure, with authority unmatched, the supreme leader within Mysterious Void House.
However, it was this strong figure who, after losing a disciple in the early years, never took another student. Some say he’s afraid a second disciple might also perish, so he hasn’t taken more disciples; others say he’s waiting, waiting for a young person whose talent can be compared to his former disciple.
As far as he knew, the House Master’s disciple back in the day, at just over twenty years old, had entered the Little Saint Realm, and given ten more years, reaching the peak of the Middle Saint Realm, or at least the late stage of the Middle Saint Realm, wouldn’t have been a problem.
"Wyatt’s talent should be stronger than the House Master’s former disciple... Considering the calmness of Vice Hall Master and Matthew King, they probably know something. And what they know is probably that the House Master has taken a liking to Wyatt’s talent, intending to make Wyatt his personal disciple."
Now, even Ewen Price himself didn’t expect he would, almost unintentionally, guess the ’truth’ of the situation.
"Wyatt probably knows he’s about to become the personal disciple of the House Master, which is why he treats Tommy Dunn so unreservedly."
Thinking this, Ewen Price settled his heart, no longer worrying about Wyatt Barnes, realizing the reason for Wyatt Barnes’s fearless behavior.
If Lay Sinclair and his disciple Matthew King knew what Ewen Price was thinking, they’d surely be astonished because Ewen Price guess was spot on.
However, if Wyatt Barnes knew Ewen Price’s thoughts, he would just smile because he has no intention of becoming a disciple of the House Master of Mysterious Void House.
Previously, on Cloud Skies Continent, he had no master because he had the memories of the Martial Emperor of the reincarnation, and few there could become his master.
Arriving at the Martial Dao Sacred Land, due to the supreme Sword Dao heart technique "Supreme Heart Sword," he became the successor of the Sword Saint Breezy Wind, a man he’d never met, and because he gained such a great benefit from "Supreme Heart Sword," Wyatt Barnes in his heart recognized Breezy Wind as his ’master.’
In his mind, he has only one master, and can only have one.
So even if the House Master of Mysterious Void House personally approached him to become his personal disciple, he would refuse because he already has a master.
It’s fortunate that those present don’t know Wyatt Barnes’s current thoughts, otherwise, Wyatt Barnes would surely be torn to pieces by them!
Who among those present doesn’t want to become the House Master’s personal disciple?
Wyatt Barnes, however, isn’t willing. The House Master personally offered him a place as a personal disciple, yet he still intends to refuse!
The conflict between Tommy Dunn and Wyatt Barnes, although noticed only by forty or so people around, many of them showed a hint of pity in their eyes when looking at Wyatt Barnes, as they didn’t think Wyatt Barnes could compete against Tommy Dunn.
In Mysterious Void House, especially in the Heavenly Palace, Tommy Dunn’s ’debauchery’ is well-known.
Even the Palace Master must defer to Tommy Dunn’s father and grandfather about matters concerning Tommy Dunn.
Wyatt Barnes, to them, is merely a well-talented Heavenly Palace disciple who hasn’t grown yet, incapable of contending with Tommy Dunn.
A single word from Tommy Dunn could have many Great Saint Realm disciples make trouble for Wyatt Barnes.
They didn’t doubt this point at all.
Perhaps, merely with Tommy Dunn’s personal influence, he’s quite limited, but the problem is, behind Tommy Dunn is a Vice House Master father and a Protector grandfather.
His father and grandfather each have quite a few powerful personal disciples.
"You were too impulsive just now... This Tommy Dunn isn’t just any Heavenly Palace disciple."
As Tommy Dunn angrily backed away, Ebba King’s voice timely transmitted into Wyatt Barnes’s ears, with a hint of worry.
"What? Is there someone even our Lady Ebba is afraid of?"
Sensing the worry in Ebba King’s tone, Wyatt Barnes felt his heart warm, but verbally, he didn’t forget to tease Ebba King.
If it were normal times, Ebba King would surely tease back, but this time, she didn’t tease in return and continued to say, "I know you aren’t afraid of Tommy Dunn, and Tommy Dunn is not your match... However, Tommy Dunn’s father and grandfather are not average people. United, apart from the House Master and the other Protector in Mysterious Void House, there really isn’t anyone who can suppress them."
"I know his father and grandfather."
Seeing Ebba so worried about him, Wyatt Barnes didn’t tease her further and spoke directly.
"Then why earlier..."
Having heard Wyatt, Ebba felt at a bit of a loss for words.
"What should I have done earlier? Submitted to him?"
Wyatt shook his head with a smile, seemingly indifferent to the earlier event—and indeed, he genuinely didn’t take it to heart.
Just a spoiled brat, a second-generation bully to be backed by his power. Why should Wyatt fear him?
As for Tommy Dunn sending someone to teach him a lesson, Wyatt wasn’t unprepared for that possibility.
However, the people Tommy Dunn could send would at most be in the ’Great Saint Realm’; perhaps a ’Human Saint Realm’ expert might take the lead for him, but they couldn’t openly target Wyatt due to the vast difference in cultivation level. Such experts acting rashly against him would surely trigger much gossip.
At that time, other high-level figures in the Mysterious Void House, including the House Master, would surely not look kindly upon it.
As for a Great Saint Realm being, should one truly provoke him, he wouldn’t hesitate to lure them into a secluded place, then use the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ to kill them!
With his current skills and abilities, Wyatt had the confidence to slay over ninety percent of Great Saint Realm experts using the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’, including most of the peak Great Saint Realm experts!
"I really wonder how he can be so relaxed; those are the Vice House Master and Protector of the Mysterious Void House!"
Seeing Wyatt still able to smile at this moment, Ebba was even more at a loss.
"Do you think his father and grandfather would personally stand up for him and attack me?"
Wyatt spoke noncommittal.
"No need for his father and grandfather to act... Even the many disciples under his father, many of whom are Great Saint Realm disciples on the ’Mystic Void List’, could easily deal with you."
Ebba lamented.
Of course, if she knew what Wyatt was thinking, she probably wouldn’t have said this.
"Wyatt Barnes offended Tommy Dunn?"
"He’s too impulsive, right? That’s Tommy Dunn, after all!"
"He must not know Tommy Dunn’s identity; otherwise, even if he’s the peak Middle Saint Realm martial artist and the strongest of the younger generation in our Mysterious Void House, he wouldn’t act so rashly."
"Indeed, in our Mysterious Void House, there’s hardly anyone who would dare to offend Tommy Dunn like this... Wyatt seems to be in trouble."
...
A group of Mysterious Void House disciples retreated to a distance, and upon learning of the conflict between Wyatt and Tommy Dunn, they were all sweating over Wyatt’s predicament.
In their view, the conflict between Wyatt and Tommy Dunn was akin to an ant trying to stop a cart!
If it were just Tommy Dunn alone, perhaps the situation would be entirely different.
But the problem is, Tommy Dunn is not alone; he has a vast network behind him, including many Mysterious Void House experts, with Great Saint Realm level being common, and a fair number of powerful Human Saint Realm existences.
Perhaps the conflict between Tommy Dunn and Wyatt Barnes is just beginning.
But for those present, after the conflict between Tommy Dunn and Wyatt Barnes, what they were more concerned about was the competition for slots to enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm at the Heavenly Palace today.
They were here for the competition for the slots to enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm.
"Now all Heavenly Palace disciples who meet the conditions to enter the Sacred Martial Secret Realm, rise into the air and stay on the same level plane as me."
Meanwhile, the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace, Lay Sinclair, spoke up, his voice not loud yet clearly reaching the ears of every Heavenly Palace disciple, including Wyatt.
Instantly, including Wyatt, more than forty Heavenly Palace disciples who met the conditions rose into the air one by one, ultimately maintaining the same level plane as Lay Sinclair.
"This scene seems a bit familiar..."
Seeing this, Wyatt felt a stir in his heart and appeared stunned.
"Doesn’t this scene feel like the one we experienced when we first entered the Mysterious Void House?"
At the same time, Ebba’s voice timely transmitted into Wyatt’s ears.
"Today’s competition won’t be similar to the last time’s..."
Before Wyatt finished speaking, he noticed Lay Sinclair had already risen into the air, ascending to a higher place, timely reminding them, "Get ready! I will soon apply pressure until there are only ten remaining on the same level plane, then I will withdraw the pressure."
"So it is indeed."
Wyatt smiled bitterly; it was as he had guessed—another straightforward and forceful pressure test like last time.
