Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 802: The Bewildering Underground Palace

Just as everyone present had thought, not long after Rhodes Collins made his appearance, the two Vice Fort Masters of Grimm Wolf Fortress also appeared above the fighting ring.

"Vice Fort Master!"

"Vice Fort Master Yael!"

"Vice Fort Master Thiago!"

...

Representatives and young talents from various dynasties proceeded to pay their respects to ’Yael Zafar’ and ’Thiago Relief’.

Yael and his companion gave a slight nod in response. Soon after, Yael boomed, "Today, the ’Decadynastic Martial Meet’ continues... The second round of selection will take place in our Grimm Wolf Fortress’s ’Underground Palace of Illusions’!"

The Underground Palace of Illusions!

Instantly, representatives and young talents from the ten dynasties could not hide their puzzled expressions, clearly unaware of what kind of place the Underground Palace of Illusions was.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

Soon, everyone saw the ten elders of Grimm Wolf Fortress, who had appeared yesterday, one by one fly out from within the fortress, revealing themselves to the crowd.

"You, open the entrance to the ’Underground Palace of Illusions’."

Yael glanced at one of the Grimm Wolf Fortress elders and said faintly.

"Yes."

The named Grimm Wolf Fortress elder respectfully answered and immediately dived down, landing in the upper right corner of the fighting ring.

Boom!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, as the Grimm Wolf Fortress elder’s foot came down, the large floor tile at the upper right corner of the fighting ring began to come loose, showing the tendency to lift off the ground.

Subsequently, the Grimm Wolf Fortress elder made a move, forcefully dismantling the large floor tile.

"That is..."

Very quickly, everyone was stunned by the scene beneath that large floor tile, where a mist was slowly rising, obscuring the view of what was inside.

"This is the entrance to the ’Underground Palace of Illusions’... You fifty, will enter through fifty different entrances and come out through the entire Underground Palace of Illusions," Yael said in a timely manner, causing all the young talents, including Wyatt Barnes, to snap back to attention.

Fifty entrances?

The crowd couldn’t help but be shocked, not expecting that a mere underground palace would have so many entrances.

"The rules of the second round of selection are not difficult for any one of you... You fifty will enter the Underground Palace of Illusions through fifty separate entrances. Once inside, you must pass through the numerous chambers as fast as you can and come out through this single exit!"

Yael continued, "At the exit of the Underground Palace of Illusions, as you are about to come out, you will see a total of fifty ’numbered tokens’... These fifty numbered tokens, from ’No. 1’ to ’No. 50’, represent the specific rankings of the second round of selection."

"The second round of selection does not eliminate anyone; it only lists rankings!"

As Yael finished speaking, the eyes of most young talents lit up.

Not eliminating anyone meant that this second round of selection would not be as dangerous as the first round.

"Additionally, I must remind you of one important point... Those who enter the ’Underground Palace of Illusions’ and obtain a token corresponding to the front rankings will have the priority in choosing their opponents. For instance, the person who gets the No. 1 token will have the priority to pick their own opponent in the third round of selection; then the No. 2 token holder will pick, and so the sequence continues..."

"In the second round of selection, the person with the last-ranked token will not have the privilege of choosing an opponent and will be selected instead. Furthermore, those holding tokens from No. 1 to No. 10, although they can choose their opponents first, they cannot challenge each other, and must choose opponents outside of the top ten tokens," Yael stated further.

At that moment, the eyes of the group of young talents, including Wyatt Barnes, shone brightly.

Those with tokens ranked near the front will be able to pick any opponent in the third round of selection.

Moreover, those holding tokens from No. 1 to No. 10 will have immunity during the third round of selection, not subject to challenges from others.

"The nearer to the front your numbered token, the more benefits you reap!"

"If you can get one of the tokens from No. 1 to No. 10, that’s a real coup; not only will you not be challenged, but you can also have the first pick of those with tokens ranked behind you!"

"This second round of selection seems to be a fierce competition!"

"I will definitely strive for one of the tokens from No. 1 to No. 10!"

...

Above the fighting ring, the majority of young talents from the ten dynasties were as if spurred by adrenaline, each buzzing with excitement.

They intended to obtain the tokens with higher rankings!

Only by doing so would they stand a chance of advancing in the third round of selection.

Even though the second round of selection would not eliminate anyone, given the current situation, it was certain that many would be eliminated in the third round.

Therefore, to advance in the third round of selection, securing a well-ranked token in the second round was crucial.

"This second round of selection is quite interesting... Those young talents who get the tokens from No. 1 to No. 10 will definitely be the cream of the crop among the fifty present. In the third round of selection, these ten individuals won’t clash with one another, leaving the most exciting duels until the end," Brian Graham commented with a twinkle in his eye and a smile.

"It seems that the third round of selection will determine the top ten rankings of this ’Confluence of Ten Dynasties’ tournament... and the fourth round of selection, which I guess will be the last, should decide the specific rankings of the top ten."

Walter Simmons couldn’t help but speculate towards the end.

"That should be the case."

Wyatt Barnes nodded in agreement, "The third and fourth round of selection will undoubtedly be the grand finales of this ’Confluence of Ten Dynasties’."

"If we can get the tokens numbered 1 to 10, we can take the initiative in the third round of selection! As long as we are not defeated by the people we challenge... we can easily secure the top ten spots of the ’Confluence of Ten Dynasties’!"

Winnie Romero said with some anticipation.

"That’s easier said than done... but getting those tokens numbered 1 to 10 won’t be so easy. After all, there are fifty people competing for those ten numbered tokens."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, as he wasn’t that optimistic.

"Fifty entrances, one exit... Obviously, in this second round of selection within the ’Mystical Underground Palace,’ everyone will converge at a certain point eventually. And that place should be where the fifty numbered tokens are stored."

Taoi Romero commented, "Once several people enter that place at the same time, they will definitely fight over the tokens with high rankings... This second round of selection will hardly be devoid of struggles, unless you are willing to settle for a token with a lower ranking."

His words resonated deeply with Wyatt Barnes and the others.

If they and others entered the token storage place at the same time, they certainly wouldn’t just watch as the tokens with higher rankings were taken by others.

"Fifty people, all wanting to get those tokens numbered 1 to 10... the competition will definitely be fierce."

A resolute gleam shot from Wyatt Barnes’s eyes as he made up his mind, "No matter what, I must obtain one of the top ten tokens... Not just that, my goal is the number 1 token!"

Although the tokens with top ten rankings all come with privileges, without a doubt, the privileges of the number 1 token are the greatest.

The one who obtains the number 1 token can choose their opponent first and can directly challenge the person who ends up with the number 50 token and is ranked last.

In fact, it wasn’t just Wyatt Barnes who thought this way; the other forty-nine young talents shared the same thought.

"Now, follow the ten elders of our Grimm Wolf Fortress to the fifty entrances of that ’Mystical Underground Palace’... Thiago Relief, the Vice Fort Master, will go with you. Wait for his command before entering all at once."

Yael Zafar instructed.

"Go!"

The moment Yael Zafar’s voice fell, Thiago Relief gave the order and was the first to fly out.

Suddenly, all the representatives and young talents from the ten great dynasties followed, including Sword Thirteen and Blade Five.

For a moment, Yael Zafar was left alone above the dueling ring.

A short time later, the group arrived at the eastern area outside Grimm Wolf Fortress, where fifty large floor tiles had been lifted, unveiling a pitch-black true form underneath.

"Each of the fifty of you, stand in front of an ’entrance,’ and after I give the command, enter together."

Thiago Relief said indifferently.

Instantly, the young talents from the ten great dynasties flew out and each took their place at an entrance to the ’Mystical Underground Palace,’ ready to enter at any moment.

"Let’s go."

Wyatt Barnes and his companions flew out, and at the same time, his Origin Force-infused voice reached Winnie Romero, Walter Simmons, and Brian Graham, "We are clueless about everything in this ’Mystical Underground Palace’... But since the Vice Castle Master mentioned there are multiple layers of challenges, it won’t be simple. Getting through it will likely involve many hardships and dangers."

"No matter how difficult it is, we will clear it with the fastest speed!"

The three of them were brimming with confidence.

Seeing that the three were in good spirits, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smile subtly, then took his place at one of the entrances.

At the same time, the other talented youths also took their positions.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Wyatt Barnes sensed a cold gaze fixed on him and couldn’t help but look up, meeting the stare head-on.

"Marshall Tyler!"

As he locked eyes with the owner of the cold gaze, Wyatt Barnes’s expression darkened, and sparks of killing intent flickered in his eyes.

"Wyatt Barnes, in this second round of selection, your ’Soul Technique’ will be of little use... You might find yourself unable to get one of the top ten tokens," came the jeering voice of Marshall Tyler, befouled with heavy sarcasm.

"Just watch... I will get the number 1 token! You are destined to be trampled under my feet," Marshall Tyler continued.

In his view, as long as he let Elder Ghostly’s remnant soul possess his body, his strength would surge, and he could breeze through the ’Mystical Underground Palace.’

He believed he would be the first one to pass through the ’Mystical Underground Palace’ and obtain the number 1 token.

"Tsk!"

Wyatt Barnes sneered, his voice laden with scorn as he countered, "So what if you get the number 1 token? Even if I don’t get one of the top ten tokens... do you dare to challenge me?!"

Do you dare to challenge me?!

Wyatt Barnes’s words were imposing. To Marshall Tyler, they resonated like thunder, causing his complexion to change in an instant.
