Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1109: On the Verge

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: On the Verge

"Could it be that Elder Barnes truly knows some ’secret technique’?"

Many members of the Gagnon Family privately wondered.

After all, Wyatt Barnes’s achievement in becoming a ’Grade One alchemist’ at such a young age was already enough to shock anyone.

Yet, he was also able to refine Pill Medicine with a purity of ’ninety-seven percent’!

Such purity in Pill Medicine was nothing short of defying the heavens!

"Winnie, who injured you just now?"

Under the public gaze, Wyatt Barnes no longer engaged with Holland Keller, but instead turned his eyes to the red-clad woman beside him and asked in an exceptionally gentle voice.

In his gentle voice, a trace of anger was unmistakably mingled.

Hearing the anger in Wyatt Barnes’s tone, Winnie Romero’s heart trembled slightly, and the frost on her face melted away a bit more.

Her gaze first settled on the green-clad middle-aged man standing in the distance.

The green-clad middle-aged man was standing behind Holland Keller, like a shadow.

"It’s you again!"

Wyatt Barnes followed Winnie Romero’s gaze to the green-clad middle-aged man, his eyes flashing with a piercing coldness, "Forest Coldring!"

Last time, it was Forest Coldring who had injured Winnie and himself.

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s stern shout, Forest Coldring lazily lifted his head and glanced indifferently at Wyatt Barnes, his eyes revealing scorn from the depths of his heart.

As if to say,

So what if it was me?

You still can’t avenge your woman!

Boom!

In an instant, milky-white flames erupted from Wyatt Barnes’s body, emitting an intimidating presence.

Above the void over his head, the power of heaven and earth stirred, eventually coalescing into a heavenly phenomenon with a total of two thousand ancient Horned Dragon illusory images.

With just Origin Force, he matched the power of two thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

This was the symbol of ’Level One in the Martial Emperor Realm’!

"Elder... Elder Barnes is a ’Martial Emperor’?!"

For a time, most of the Gagnon Family’s elders and young members were visibly astonished.

"Wyatt Barnes has broken through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm’?"

Jadiel Gagnon was also massively shocked.

Previously, although he had witnessed Wyatt Barnes kill a Gagnon Family elder of the ’Transforming Void Realm Level Eight,’ he didn’t believe that Wyatt Barnes was a Martial Emperor.

He had assumed that Wyatt Barnes was at most at the ’peak of the Void Realm.’

Now, the scene before him made him realize that Wyatt Barnes was either already a Martial Emperor back then or had only recently broken through to the ’Martial Emperor Realm.’

In contrast to the astonishment of the Gagnon Family elders and young members, the Gagnon Family’s patriarch ’Randy Gagnon’ was not very surprised.

Last time, he had personally witnessed Elder Barnes demonstrate his formidable strength and nearly kill Holland Keller, a first-level Martial Emperor.

At that time, he had guessed that Elder Barnes was a Martial Emperor.

As for the old patriarch of the Gagnon Family, ’Alaric Gagnon,’ and the Three Great Protectors of the Gagnon Family, although they had heard from Randy Gagnon that Wyatt Barnes was a Martial Emperor, seeing it with their own eyes today still shocked them a little.

After all, Wyatt Barnes was simply too young!

Of course, if it were just a matter of ’youth,’ that would be one thing.

The problem was that ’youth’ was not the key point!

One must realize that this young Elder Barnes of the Gagnon Family was not only a ’Grade One alchemist’ but also one who could refine Grade One Pill Medicine with a purity of ’ninety-seven percent.’

With his current age, the achievements he had made in ’the way of alchemy’ could make more than ninety percent of the alchemists on the Cloud Skies Continent feel utterly inadequate.

Such a prodigious young man on ’the way of alchemy’ was also a ’Martial Emperor’?

"Monstrous talent!"

"Is Elder Barnes even human?"

...

After an eerie silence at the scene, the Gagnon Family elders and the young members erupted, each one looking in awe at the distant purple figure.

"I never imagined that in my lifetime, I, Canaan Moore, would see the legendary ’Odd Species’."

At this moment, the president of the South Outlands Artifact Refiners Guild, Canaan Moore stepped forward and looked deeply at Wyatt Barnes, "They say Odd Species each possess their own ’Divine Ability’... but I wonder, what is your Divine Ability?"

Odd Species!

Divine Ability!

As Canaan Moore spoke up, his voice, though not loud, penetrated the ears of everyone present, stirring up a thousand waves with a single stone.

"Odd Species? Divine Ability?"

Many young members of the Gagnon Family were utterly baffled.

"Does he mean... Elder Barnes is an ’Odd Species’?"

Some of the Gagnon Family’s elders couldn’t help but have their pupils constrict as they had a certain understanding of ’Odd Species.’

"What is an ’Odd Species’?"

The majority asking this question were young members of the Gagnon Family.

"An Odd Species is a being born from the union of humans and ’demons’... An Odd Species can either be mediocre or monstrously talented! The former are quite common on the Cloud Skies Continent; the latter, however, are extremely rare."

An elder of the Gagnon Family said with a grave expression.

"Yes!"

Another Elder of the Gagnon Family took over the conversation and continued, "The latter, it is said, has talents and comprehension in all aspects far superior to human beings... Even the most gifted and perceptive humans of the Cloud Skies Continent cannot compare to them."

"Moreover, the monstrous Odd Species also possesses a ’Divine Ability’... Every Odd Species has a Divine Ability that is unique in the world."

Someone else added.

Whoosh!

Having learned what ’Odd Species’ represented, some of the Gagnon Family Elders and the majority of their juniors who had just heard of ’Odd Species’ were taken aback with amazement, their faces filled with shock.

"Does this mean that Elder Barnes is an Odd Species?"

"That’s the only explanation... Given that Elder Barnes is a Grade One alchemist, he can’t possibly be a ’monster’! For a human to achieve such accomplishments in both ’Martial Dao’ and the alchemical arts at his age is nearly impossible."

"That’s true."

...

As a group of Gagnon Family Elders and juniors discussed, they quickly confirmed something.

Their Gagnon Family’s Honorary Minister Elder ’Wyatt Barnes’ was an ’Odd Species’, and an extremely monstrous one at that.

Now, they finally understood why Elder Barnes could possess such achievements at such a young age.

If there was anyone present who still didn’t think Wyatt Barnes was an ’Odd Species’, it was none other than the head of the Gagnon Family, ’Randy Gagnon’, and the former patriarch ’Alaric Gagnon’.

Because they knew about Wyatt Barnes’ ’background’.

Wyatt Barnes, in his previous life, was someone who achieved against-the-heavens accomplishments in three fields: alchemy, Artifact Refining, and Inscription.

In this life, reincarnated, he needed only his cultivation and mental strength to reach a certain level, and he would be the most outstanding alchemist! Artifact Refiner! Inscription Master!

In their eyes.

The claim of being an ’Odd Species’ was utterly baseless.

"Last time I said that you were ’playing with fire’... Today, since you’ve come, you might as well stay together!"

Creamy white flames erupted from Wyatt Barnes’ body, and his icy gaze fell upon Holland Keller and Forest Coldring as he spoke word by word.

His voice was as if coming from an ice cave, filled with extreme and bone-chilling cold.

"Hahahahaha..."

At Wyatt Barnes’ words, Holland Keller couldn’t help but burst into a wild laugh.

After a long while, the laughter subsided, and he looked at Wyatt Barnes with a sneer, disdainfully saying, "You want to keep us here? With your mere ’Martial Emperor Realm First Level’ cultivation?"

"Last time, just after a brief encounter, you were seriously injured by Forest Coldring... It seems that today you want to repeat the same mistake! I really wonder where you get the courage from, to talk nonsense about keeping us."

As he spoke, Holland Keller’s face was full of scorn.

At the same time, Canaan Moore also laughed softly, saying, "Confidence is a good thing for a young man, but it becomes ’arrogance’ if it goes too far."

Canaan Moore’s words carried a tone of lecturing.

"Elder Barnes may be a Martial Emperor, but he’s only at the ’First Level’. It won’t be easy for him to deal with these people."

"Elder Barnes has such strength at such a young age, which is certainly shocking! But his power is probably even less than that of our Gagnon Family’s Three Great Protectors, let alone dealing with these people."

"Give Elder Barnes another ten years, and these fellows wouldn’t even be worth a glance!"

"Of course! Elder Barnes is the rumored ’Odd Species’, an existence that could be called ’defying the heavens’ on the Cloud Skies Continent."

...

Many Gagnon Family Elders and juniors discussed fervently, and they also didn’t believe Wyatt Barnes could contend with Holland Keller and his group.

"Elder Barnes!"

Just as the Origin Force turned into creamy white flames around Wyatt Barnes became more intense, Jadiel Gagnon looked at Wyatt Barnes and firmly said, "You should take Miss Winnie and leave... As for them, our Gagnon Family will hold them back for you!"

Jadiel Gagnon spoke with resolute determination, exuding the aura of a warrior who knows he may not return.

As soon as his words ended, he had already soared into the sky, rushing towards Holland Keller and his four companions.

"In my twilight years, it would be no regret to die for Wyatt Barnes! Elder Barnes, live well."

The previous patriarch of the Gagnon Family, ’Alaric Gagnon’, laughed heartily, his voice spreading as he already stood with Jadiel Gagnon, glaring fiercely at Holland Keller’s group.

If Holland Keller and his group dared to make a move, they were ready to launch a thunderous attack at any moment.

"Elder Barnes, live well... If we die, avenge us!"

The Three Great Protectors of the Gagnon Family shouted in unison, before leaping into action, joining Jadiel Gagnon and Alaric Gagnon in encircling Holland Keller’s group.

"Elder Barnes, live well!"

At this moment, a group of Gagnon Family Elders and juniors also leaped into action, adding further layers around Holland Keller’s group, each with a decisive expression.

The ’unity’ and ’integrity’ of the Gagnon Family, were plainly visible at this moment!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

In a flash, led by Jadiel Gagnon, the senior members of the Gagnon Family saw their Origin Force surge wildly, with ’mysteries’ and ’realms’ shadowing them closely.

Soon, all members of the Gagnon Family unleashed their surging Origin Force and ’realms’, staring fiercely at Holland Keller’s group, ready to strike at any moment.

"The Gagnon Family..."

Surrounded by a dense crowd, Wyatt Barnes completely lost sight of Holland Keller’s group, feeling a tremor in his heart.

At this moment, he was moved by the solemn atmosphere created by the Gagnon people.

The Gagnon Family.

This kindness, I, Wyatt Barnes, will remember it!

But today, let me, Wyatt Barnes, sort out my own affairs.

"Stick to the original plan!"

At the same time, Holland Keller, surrounded by the Gagnon people, shouted explosively, speaking to the other four.
