Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 784: Life and Death Selection

"The rules for the first round of the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’?"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head and chuckled, with an air of indifference, "What’s there to look into... all it is, is a standard progression of combat matches. It’s the same old routine."

Throughout his journey, Wyatt Barnes has participated in numerous ’Martial Comparisons’ and ’Competitions’. He was well-acquainted with the established format of advancing through combat matches.

"Brother Barnes, the first round of the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’ is not a simple matter of combat rounds."

Mystery shines in Winnie Romero’s eyes.

"Not combat rounds? Then what is it?"

Admittedly, after hearing Winnie Romero’s explanation, Wyatt Barnes became genuinely curious.

"I heard that the first round of the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’ will involve us, one hundred talented youngsters from the ten dynasties, entering the Grimm Wolf Fortress... Then, they will confine us in a particular area for a brutal free-for-all. Only after a certain number of people have died, will they stop the total brawl. And for whoever joins, aside from protecting themselves, they also have to kill others."

Winnie Romero took a breath and slowly continued.

Battle Royale?

Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but gasp. What did Grimm Wolf Fortress take them for?

Killing machines?

It must be said, this rule was particularly brutal, especially from Wyatt Barnes’ current perspective.

Just the first round of selection was already paved with countless bodies, hard to accept.

For many talented youngsters, the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’ was merely an ordinary arena where they had come to test their mettle. While some might not believe they could win in this competition, they did want to grow and gain experience here.

Wyatt Barnes was sure, once this ’rule’ was announced, many of the hundred youngsters from these ten dynasties attending the competition would refuse to take part.

The first round of selection was about kill or be killed.

Elimination was tied closely with ’death’, leaving one with no choice.

"Additionally, I heard that only the few castle masters of the Grimm Wolf Fortress presently know how exactly this Battle Royale will be carried out... I wonder if there are any special rules limiting the conduct during this Battle Royale."

Winnie Romero added.

Wyatt Barnes nodded, his eyes flashed, "If possible, we should seek alliances... but only with people we trust!"

If they were to cooperate with people they did not trust, who knew whether they would stab them in the back when given the opportunity?

Therefore, if the only option left was to team up with untrustworthy people, they might as well go alone.

"I’ve thought it through... I will team up with you, Brother Barnes, as well as Brother Graham and Walter Simmons. We’ll form a small group! Then, let’s see who dares to mess with us."

Winnie Romero’s eyes shimmered, her tone full of confidence in Wyatt Barnes’ capabilities.

"That sounds like a good plan."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up. He immediately took off, leaving the ’Water Fairy Pavilion’, "Let’s go! Let’s find Brother Graham and Walter Simmons."

Soon, Wyatt Barnes, Winnie Romero, and Brian Graham returned to the ’Peony Pavilion’, entered Walter Simmons’ room, and gained Simmons’ attention.

"Wyatt Barnes, with the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’ being tomorrow, why are you so eager to see me?"

Walter Simmons asked with curiosity.

"Yeah, what’s the matter, elder brother Ling Tian?"

Brian Graham also asked.

Brian was called out by Wyatt, and before he had the chance to explain, Wyatt brought him to Simmons’ place.

So, Brian still didn’t know why Wyatt had brought them together.

"Winnie, you tell them."

Wyatt Barnes looked at Winnie Romero and said with a smile.

After Winnie Romero complied, she relayed the rules of the first selection round of the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’ she had previously told Wyatt Barnes to Walter Simmons and Brian Graham.

Suddenly, both men couldn’t help but change their expressions.

"The first round involves all one hundred of us entering a single location for a Battle Royale?"

Walter Simmons couldn’t help but gasp, "Who imposed this bizarre rule? I am afraid that at least half of the participants will refuse to ’play’ with Grimm Wolf Fortress."

"Indeed."

Brian Graham replied in a grave tone, "Once these rules go public, most participants will choose to forfeit... after all, we only have one life. Unless one has exceptional confidence in their abilities, it is unlikely for anyone to willingly participate in such a life-or-death selection."

"If what Miss Winnie says is true... then the first round of the ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’, is nearly as gruesome as our Blade and Sword Sect’s bloody selection for the position of Sect Leader."

Walter Simmons said gravely, his eyes twinkling.

"Winnie heard this from an elder of the Grimm Wolf Fortress... The elder wore a badge depicting a gray wolf head on his chest, the wolf’s eyes were ’silver’ in color."

Wyatt Barnes said, "So, this information should be true."

Seeing Walter Simmons and Brian Graham, clearly hesitant about the upcoming ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’, Wyatt Barnes could not help but chuckle, "Winnie and I asked you guys here to discuss how we should prepare for the first life-or-death selection round..."

Upon hearing this, Walter Simmons and Brian Graham’s attention immediately turned to Wyatt Barnes.

"Winnie and I plan to form a small group with you guys to face the remaining ninety-something young talents from the other nine major dynasties. We aim to survive the first round of ’Deca-Dynasty Martial Arts Competition’."

Wyatt Barnes shared his plan agreed upon with Winnie Romero.

"I agree with this!"

Walter Simmons’ eyes lit up.

"I also agree."

Brian Graham also had no objections.

It is their mutual trust with Wyatt Barnes, otherwise, they would not have reached a consensus so quickly.

After all, once they decide to cooperate, they are essentially handing over their undefended backs to each other, which requires mutual trust.

In Walter Simmons’ room, the four of them, Wyatt Barnes, reached a consensus. They would form a small group to face the first round of life-or-death selection in the ’Inter-Dynastic Martial Meeting’ tomorrow.

Soon, the four of them dispersed again.

As night gradually fell, the young talents of the Ten Dynasties were either practicing to improve their cultivation, understanding the ’realm’, or practicing martial skills.

An atmosphere of serious anticipation seemed to be welcoming the arrival of the ’Inter-Dynastic Martial Meeting’ early tomorrow morning.

The "Inter-Dynastic Martial Meeting" is organized by the ’Grimm Wolf Fortress’ for the Ten Dynasties.

No matter which dynasty’s young talents, as long as they can stand out in the ’Inter-Dynastic Martial Meeting’, that dynasty can receive rewards from the Grimm Wolf Fortress.

In addition to three top-grade spirit artifacts, numerous Pill Medicines, original stones, the rewards also include ’realm fragments’ left behind by the strong ones in the Transforming Void Realm after their death.

The realm fragment is the most precious among all the rewards, and everyone in the Ten Dynasties wants it.

It is precisely because of this that the Ten Dynasties have taken the ’Dynastic Martial Meeting’ so seriously that they have prepared for it for more than four years.

Four years, not long but not short, enough for many things to happen.

Like Wyatt Barnes.

Compared with him four years ago, the current Wyatt Barnes is like heaven and earth, it is difficult to connect the two.

Of course, this refers to ’cultivation’.

As for the ’appearance’, there is not much difference between Wyatt Barnes now and four years ago. He always pays attention to maintenance, coupled with his profound cultivation, his appearance has barely aged.

Moreover, as long as Wyatt Barnes can break through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’ within ten years, he will retain his youth forever.

By then, he can forever maintain his current appearance.

No matter whether it’s another thirty years, fifty years, or even a hundred years later, even if his internal organs gradually age, his appearance will not change at all.

Early in the morning, everything sprang back to life, and the outside of the entire Grimm Wolf Fortress came alive.

Representatives of the Ten Dynasties, and a group of young talents, left their respective halls and went to the vast arena in the fortress.

Soon, most people were standing in the air above the arena, waiting quietly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Eight figures passed through the air, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at one side of the arena.

"It’s that Wyatt Barnes!"

"And that ’Sword Thirteen’ from the Blade and Sword Sect."

"That’s the grand uncle of the Romero Clan of the Great Turdo Dynasty, ’Taoi Romero’, and the stunning beauty beside him, should be his daughter Romera Winnie."

...

Many of the young talents of the Ten Dynasties couldn’t help but whisper as they saw the eight figures arrive.

The eight people who just arrived, were Wyatt Barnes and the others.

In addition to Wyatt Barnes, Winnie Romero, Brian Graham, and Walter Simmons, there were also Walter Simmons’ teacher, Taoi Romero, and another pair of master and apprentice.

The young one is ’Kase Dragonsmith’.

Standing in front of Kase Dragonsmith was a man with disheveled beard and a broad knife hanging around his waist, wearing old clothes that made him look like a bandit.

"Is he named Blade Five?"

Wyatt Barnes raised his brows, guessing the identity of this bearded man.

Blade Five, the deputy leader of the ’Blade Sect’ in the Blade and Sword Sect, will soon become the ’Sect Leader of Blade Sect’. His status in the Blade and Sword Sect is comparable only to the leader of Sword Sect.

Others in the Blade and Sword Sect could only look up to him from a distance!

Blade Five was someone Wyatt and others met halfway there. At that time, Blade Five, along with Kase Dragonsmith, came their way without uttering a word and joined them. freeweɓnøvel.com

Of course, whether Blade Five communicated with Sword Thirteen through Origin Force, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t know.

"Wyatt Barnes! I hope you haven’t done anything to my foster father... Otherwise, I won’t let you go no matter where you run off to!"

Suddenly, a voice full of brutality, transmitted through the Origin Force, clearly sounded in Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Wyatt Barnes raised his brows and looked at Kase Dragonsmith casually.

He could tell that it was Kase Dragonsmith’s voice.

For a moment, as Wyatt Barnes looked at Kase Dragonsmith, he responded in a casual tone, "Kase Dragonsmith, do you think that...since your cultivation has broken through to the ’Second Layer of the Cave Void Realm’, do you think you can surely defeat me?"
