Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Soul Technique? Innate Divine Ability?
Holder of Token No. 8, Wes Yez, takes the stage.
Wes has only two people he can choose from, Token No. 9 holder ’Ella Wood’ and Token No. 10 holder ’Brian Graham’.
Not to ntion that Ella had just fought a battle and could refuse his challenge on the grounds of needing rest, even if Ella hadn’t been in the previous matchup, he wouldn’t temporarily choose her either.
Right now, he needs to preserve his strength to face the challenges of stronger opponents.
Therefore, starting from the weakest is undeniably the best strategy at the mont.
"Token No. 10 holder!"
Wes’s gaze fell on Brian Graham, naming him for the challenge.
"I surrender."
Just as the words left Wes’s mouth, Brian had already conceded, doing so promptly without any dallying.
Wes’s strength was sothing he had witnessed before.
With the Triple Layer of the Cave Void Realm and understanding of the Second Layer of its realm, surpassing him, even if he had accepted the battle, the result would have been the sa.
Following that, Token No. 9 holder Ella initiated a challenge; her only option was Brian Graham, who conceded.
"Token No. 10!"
At this mont, Grimm Wolf Fortress’s Vice Fort Master, Yael Zafar, looked at Brian Graham and asked directly, "Are you willing to settle for the ’tenth’ rank in the Ten Dynasties Martial Contest? If so, no one will challenge you afterwards, and you need not bother with repeated concessions."
"Yes!"
Brian nodded assertively, with confidence.
"Good."
Yael nodded and then scanned the surroundings, his gaze falling on each of the nine, including Wyatt Barnes, "The ’tenth’ rank of the Ten Dynasties Martial Contest is confird, we will now continue the contest for the specific rankings of the top nine... Of course, if the last ranked among you is willing to accept a rank equivalent to the token you hold, you can also make it known."
Currently, the last-ranked individual was Ella.
But clearly, Ella wasn’t yet prepared to content herself with ’ninth’; she harbored the intention of taking Wes’s place as the holder of Token No. 8.
Besides, she was not convinced by Wyatt and Marshall Tyler.
One round went by, eliminating Brian Graham, and the other nine continued.
As the holder of Token No. 1, Wyatt Barnes was the first to take the stage.
Whoosh!
Like a whirlwind, he instantly arrived at the central area above the combat arena.
"Token No. 9!"
Wyatt imdiately fixed his gaze on Ella.
Facing Wyatt’s challenge wasn’t a surprise for Ella.
Even though, not even Marshall Tyler, who could enhance his strength to the Sixth Layer of the Cave Void Realm through secret thods, had conceded in the presence of Wyatt.
But in her eyes, Marshall was nothing but a pretty but useless front; otherwise, why would he have surrendered before Winnie Roro without a fight?
"Wyatt, you’d better be careful... otherwise, your most precious Token No. 1 might just change hands."
Ella reminded Wyatt.
"I’m looking forward to it."
Wyatt replied with a slight smile.
"Hmph!"
Perceiving Wyatt’s scorn, Ella’s expression darkened, and with a swift motion, she launched a preemptive strike, her three-foot-long sword flowing like water, pointing at Wyatt.
From the outset, Ella unleashed her full strength, holding nothing back!
Wyatt stood in place as if waiting for Ella’s attack to land on him.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
...
As Ella’s attacks drew closer and closer to Wyatt, the onlooking crowd collectively gasped, feeling that Wyatt was being overly confident.
Ella’s sword had nearly reached Wyatt, barely a hair’s breadth away.
At the crucial mont, Wyatt’s eyes flashed, a deep light twinkling within them.
Illusion Technique!
In an instant, Wyatt’s vast ntal power penetrated deep into his soul’s ’Soul Inscription,’ directly executing his exclusive Soul Technique.
In a split second, his ntal power constructed an illusory realm, enveloping Ella with a space that appeared out of thin air.
"Is Wyatt tired of living?"
As Ella’s sword neared Wyatt’s chest, monts away from piercing through, many felt their scalps tingle in shock.
"Hmm?"
At this very mont, even the three monks from Cloud Sky Temple were startled by Wyatt’s actions.
Wasn’t this courting death?
In the distance void, Fla Graham’s eyes flickered with an intense light before he murmured to himself, "Could it be he’s going to employ that ’Demon Technique’ again?"
Wyatt was known for a ’Demon Technique.’ Years ago, he had heard Sophie Tyler ntion it more than once.
He had even witnessed it firsthand!
"Demon Technique?"
Hearing Fla’s murmur, Magnus Patel remained expressionless, but deep in his eyes was a hint of surprise.
"What is Ella doing?!"
Soone exclaid in shock, breaking the silence of the scene.
Just as Ella’s sword was about to penetrate Wyatt’s chest, it suddenly swerved, crazily stabbing towards the void on one side, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Has Ella gone mad?"
"She doesn’t dare to kill Wyatt?"
"That’s not right... It seems there’s sothing off."
...
While many were bewildered, they then witnessed another scene that left them agape.
After moving her sword away from Wyatt, Ella turned and struck the void once again, as though her opponent was not Wyatt, but the air itself.
Seeing this scene, many felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
"Has Ella Wood gone mad?"
This was the thought in most people’s minds.
Only a few, withdrawing their gazes from Ella, looked towards Wyatt Barnes with astonishnt and doubt.
These few were naturally the two Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress and the three monks from Cloud Sky Temple.
As for Sword Thirteen and Blade Five, who had heard from Walter Simmons and Kase Dragonsmith about Wyatt’s maneuver multiple tis, they were surprised, yet prepared for it.
"Sorcery?"
After listening to Fla Graham’s description based on his Origin Force, Magnus Patel remained expressionless, but when he responded to Graham, he rejected his judgnt, "In this world, there is no sorcery... I rather think that Wyatt Barnes’s thod is sowhat similar to ’Soul Technique’! Of course, if he is not a regular human but an Odd Species, then this ability of his could very well be his ’Divine Ability’!"
Soul Technique?
Divine Ability?
Fla Graham’s face remained unchanged, but his eyes were full of confusion, with both terms being extrely foreign to him.
"There are ripples of ntal power there!"
"Ella Wood isn’t mad, she’s fallen into Wyatt Barnes’s trap."
...
What happened to Ella, apart from the group from the Great Turdo Dynasty who were unsurprised, everyone from the other nine dynasties was shocked. A few ’Inscription Masters’ at the Transforming Void Realm level even noticed sothing amiss.
Though they could activate their ntal power to interfere with the ntal force enveloping Ella, they dared not.
Are you kidding ?
This was Grimm Wolf Fortress, and the ’Ten Dynasties Martial Tournant’ was in progress. If they dared to intervene, any bla from Grimm Wolf Fortress would result in certain death.
Whoosh!
Under the watchful eyes of all, Wyatt Barnes, who had been still as a mountain with no movent, finally acted.
Whirlwind!
His entire being turned into a gust of wind, rushing towards Ella.
And in the face of his charge, Ella seed oblivious, still there swinging her sword and fighting the air as if she truly had lost her mind.
Boom!
Wyatt effortlessly moved to Ella’s side and casually struck out with a palm, injuring her and sending her flying, thus temporarily incapacitating her.
At that mont, Wyatt vibrated his ntal power, shattering the illusory space created by his Soul Technique ’Thousand Illusions’.
"Wow!"
Ella’s face turned pale, she spat out a mouthful of clotted blood, and only then did she co back to her senses.
When she saw the calm and composed Wyatt, her face involuntarily twitched, "You... you..."
Soon, Ella heard the Origin Force-accompanied voice of the Great Turdo Dynasty’s representative, and she too understood what had just happened, turning deathly pale with fright.
Looking at Wyatt again, fear was the only thing visible in the depths of Ella’s eyes.
It turned out that everything she had just experienced was false.
"Illusions! That was an illusion!"
Ella quickly guessed what had happened, her first thought being whether Wyatt had used sothing like an Inscription or Inscription Array.
But on second thought, she felt that was impossible.
An Inscription Array needed to be set up in a fixed location, and this was Grimm Wolf Fortress’s territory. Even if Wyatt did know how to use Inscription Arrays, he wouldn’t dare to ss around.
Most importantly, she hadn’t sensed the fluctuations or aura of any Inscriptions or Inscription Arrays.
That’s why, she confird sothing.
The ’Illusion’ she had just faced was cast by Wyatt himself, similar to the rumored ’Soul Technique’ of those special Demon Beasts with unique talents.
"Now, I believe you have the ability to obtain the number one token."
Ella took a deep breath, gave Wyatt a friendly smile, and made a silent flirtatious gesture.
"Hmm."
Unfortunately for her, Wyatt simply nodded casually at her, then imdiately turned to retreat.
This instantly infuriated her.
To think that Ella Wood, the foremost youth of the Great Turdo Dynasty, even desired by the Emperor of the Great Turdo Dynasty as a daughter-in-law, was completely ignored by Wyatt Barnes.
However, when Ella’s glance accidentally fell on Winnie Roro, who was chatting and laughing with Wyatt in the distance, the anger on her face dissipated.
In front of Winnie, she felt sowhat inferior.
"Perhaps, only a woman like her is worthy of him."
Ella let out a self-deprecating smile, then returned to the Great Turdo Dynasty’s camp.
After Wyatt’s match, it was Winnie Roro, the holder of the number two token’s turn.
Upon entering the field, Winnie’s gaze locked onto the holder of the number eight token, Wes Yez.
Wes Yez, with cultivation and realm on par with Ella, and even more skilled in techniques, still ended up defeated by Winnie.
The holder of the number three token, Jaxxon Spacewood, entered the fray.
Victory!
The holder of the number four token, Seth Cooper, entered the fray.
Victory!
...
Before long, it was Walter Simmons’s turn, the holder of the number six token. He challenged Ella Wood and won!
After Walter, it was Marshall Tyler, the holder of the number seven token’s turn.
As soon as Marshall Tyler entered the field, the surroundings erupted in chitchat, "Do you think Marshall Tyler will call soone out this ti just to concede imdiately afterward?"
"Hahaha... That’s quite possible."
"What ’secret technique’, what ’Sixth Layer of Cave Void Realm’, nothing but pretty looks and no practical use!"
"Marshall Tyler, the butt of a joke!"
