Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Body Examination Stone

However, upon hearing Jan Clark’s words, Foresty Crawford and Fenny Graham, despite their anger, dared not act rashly and could only silently endure.

Because they knew they were no match for Jan Clark.

"Bastard? A few moves and you think you can defeat me?"

Unlike Foresty Crawford and Fenny Graham, Wyatt Barnes reacted differently. Hearing Jan Clark’s words, his expression turned exceedingly somber, and his eyes flickered with a cold and frightful light.

Just as he turned his head to look at Jan Clark, ready to make his move.

A stern shout suddenly erupted.

"Insolence!!"

The voice of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City boomed like thunder, making the entire Council Hall seem to tremble, and it also startled Wyatt Barnes.

Bang!!

Before Wyatt Barnes had a chance to look at the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, he saw Jan Clark’s body tremble in his field of vision, then, like an arrow released from its bow, he flew out and crashed against a pillar of the Council Hall.

The pillar shook, and some dust fell.

Following that, Jan Clark slid down the pillar onto the ground, continuously spitting out blood, in a state of utter disarray.

"City Lord! Jan Clark knows his mistake... Jan Clark acknowledges his wrong!"

Ignoring the injuries within his body, Jan Clark knelt on the ground, prostrating himself in front of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, his body quivering.

"Jan Clark, how dare you be so impudent in front of the City Lord!"

The Heavenly Guard’s face also looked quite ugly.

"Acknowledge your wrong? What is your mistake?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City snorted.

"Jan Clark’s mistake was causing a disturbance in front of the City Lord."

Jan Clark’s head touched the ground as he spoke with a trembling voice.

"Offend again, and you will surely die."

Hearing Jan Clark’s words, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s stern gaze landed on him, and he said in a calm tone.

Although his tone was calm, the murderous intent within it was obvious.

"Thank you for your leniency, City Lord!"

Jan Clark hastily thanked him and, after standing up and consuming Pill Medicine to heal, his gaze towards Wyatt Barnes became even colder and filled with hatred.

At this moment, his heart was overwhelmed with uncontrollable rage.

He dared not direct his anger at the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, so he shifted it towards Wyatt Barnes. "Wyatt Barnes, if it weren’t for you, I would not have enraged the City Lord... it’s all your fault!"

"Given the chance, I will kill you! I will kill you!!" Jan Clark roared almost maniacally in his heart.

Although Wyatt Barnes was unaware of Jan Clark’s thoughts, seeing Jan Clark’s eyes filled with the intent to kill, he guessed that Jan Clark harbored a killing intent towards him.

"Jan Clark."

For a moment, murder flashed in his own eyes as well.

"Wyatt Barnes, you still haven’t answered my question... is my guess correct?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City looked at Wyatt Barnes again, his previously stern face now replaced with a smile as he asked.

This scene made Jan Clark’s face look even uglier.

"City Lord, I am not ’descended’ from humans and Sacred Beasts," Wyatt Barnes stated truthfully.

"Not?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City frowned and said in a perplexed tone: "That should not be... if you are not the offspring of humans and Sacred Beasts, why do you have the ability to defeat foes beyond your level?"

"Or could it be... you are a Sacred Beast in human form?"

Muttering to himself, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s eyes lit up as he spoke.

Although the City Lord of Hill Mountain City was muttering to himself, the Council Hall was very quiet, so almost everyone heard his words.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes once again became the center of attention.

"A Sacred Beast in human form?"

Hearing the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s increasingly outrageous speculation, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but laugh bitterly and said: "City Lord, I am not only not a descendant of humans and Sacred Beasts, but I am also not a Sacred Beast in human form... I am a purely human Martial Artist."

"Impossible!"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City shook his head decisively and said: "If you were purely a human Martial Artist, you would not have such an exaggerated ability to defeat opponents beyond your level."

"Indeed... how is that possible?"

"It seems Wyatt Barnes still wants to conceal his identity."

"At this point, even with eloquence, he can no longer hide."

...

Many people whispered among themselves.

"City Lord."

Wyatt Barnes looked at the City Lord of Hill Mountain City and said: "As far as I know, the Martial Dao Sacred Land has an item called the ’Identity Stone’... Although the Identity Stone does not aid one in combat, it can be used to verify whether a person is a Sacred Beast in human form or the offspring of humans and Sacred Beasts."

Identity Stone!

At the mention of the Identity Stone by Wyatt Barnes, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City furrowed his brow, "While the Identity Stone is not something remarkable, it is also engraved by a ’Saint Markings Master’... Our Main Mansion in Hill Mountain City does not have such an item."

Upon the words of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, a wave of commotion was once again stirred up.

"Wyatt Barnes’s schemes are truly profound; knowing full well that Hill Mountain City doesn’t have an Identity Stone, yet he insists on bringing it up."

"I think he’s doing it on purpose.

"Do they really think that by mentioning the Identity Stone, we will believe he’s a purely human being? "

...

Again, many people whispered among themselves.

This time, even Jemma Clifford’s look towards Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but carry a few more traces of doubt.

After all, Wyatt Barnes’s ability to defeat opponents beyond his level was too exaggerated.

She also found it hard to believe that Wyatt Barnes was a purely human Martial Artist.

In the long history of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, she had never heard of such a human martial artist.

Even the legendary powerful being who opened up eighty-one Saint Veins was only able to possess the ability to defeat opponents above his level after breaking through to ’Entering the Saint Realm’.

"Then I really can’t do anything about it."

Wyatt Barnes shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Moreover, whether I am a complete human martial artist shouldn’t really affect me, should it?"

Just when most people thought this matter was coming to an end.

"City Lord, half a month ago, I heard that the ninth brother got a ’Verification Stone’... originally he wanted to put it up for auction at the Marvel Pavilion, but in the end, he felt it wouldn’t fetch much price, so he didn’t bring it out," said the Heavenly Guard to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"Heavenly Elite Guard? He has a Verification Stone?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s eyes lit up, "You, go and find the Heavenly Elite Guard immediately."

The Heavenly Elite Guard, that is, the ’ninth brother’ mentioned by the Heavenly Guard.

In the Main Mansion of Hill Mountain City, he is ranked ’ninth’ among the thirty-six close guards, known as ’Heavenly Elite Guard’, and his current external name is ’Damien Lynch’.

"Yes."

The Heavenly Guard left at the command.

Meanwhile, many started to take delight in Wyatt’s misfortune, "It seems that this time, Wyatt Barnes is about to shoot himself in the foot."

However, faced with their schadenfreude, Wyatt remained completely calm, as if his countenance would not change even if Mount Tai were collapsing in front of him.

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City also noticed Wyatt’s calmness.

He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Was this Wyatt Barnes truly unafraid of being verified by the ’Verification Stone’, or was he bluffing and unwilling to give up until the very last moment?

Standing behind the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, Kai Simmons also had a few traces of doubt in his gaze.

"City Lord!"

Before long, the Heavenly Guard returned, bringing with him a person, the ninth-ranked among the thirty-six close guards, the Heavenly Elite Guard, Damien Lynch.

Damien Lynch stood before the City Lord of Hill Mountain City and bowed in salute.

"Heavenly Elite Guard, the Heavenly Guard mentioned that you acquired a Verification Stone a while back?" asked the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"Yes, City Lord," confirmed Damien Lynch with a nod.

"May I borrow it?" asked the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"Of course!"

Damien Lynch quickly nodded, and as he raised his hand, a translucent little stone, resembling an irregular crystal, appeared in his palm.

Then, he handed the small stone to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"This is the Verification Stone?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at the small stone passed from Damien Lynch to the City Lord of Hill Mountain City with puzzled eyes. He had heard of the ’Verification Stone’ before, but he had never seen one.

Today was his first time.

The Verification Stone, similar to the ’Demon-reflecting Mirror’ of the Cloud Skies Continent, yet slightly different.

As the Verification Stone reached the hands of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, except for Damien Lynch, all others’ gazes were fixated on the stone.

They too wanted to see if Wyatt Barnes had been bluffing just now.

At this moment, only Damien Lynch’s gaze was on Wyatt, filled with shock.

On his way to the Council Hall, he had heard from the Heavenly Guard about initially bringing Wyatt back when he was just at the early stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

Furthermore, he knew that Wyatt had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm and had even defeated two late-stage Transcending Mortal Realm martial artists.

At first, he couldn’t believe it.

But when the Heavenly Guard said that he and the City Lord had witnessed it with their own eyes, he had no choice but to believe.

Now, he also understood that the reason the City Lord borrowed the ’Verification Stone’ from him was to verify whether Wyatt Barnes was truly just a pure human martial artist.

Whoosh!

Just then, a soft sound arrived, attracting Damien Lynch’s attention as well.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City held the Verification Stone, infused his True Energy into it, causing the Saint Markings on the stone to flash...

After the Saint Markings flashed, rippling shimmering light arose.

Not long after, a mirror-like barrier appeared in the void, reflecting a silhouette.

The owner of this silhouette was none other than ’Wyatt Barnes’.

However, the reflection of Wyatt in the mirror remained completely unchanged.

It’s known that if the Verification Stone’s ’mirror barrier’ reflects a Sacred Beast transformed into a human, their Sacred Beast true form would appear inside it.

If it reflected someone who is the offspring of a human and a Sacred Beast, behind them would appear the phantom of a Sacred Beast.

Yet, none of these phenomena occurred.

"You... are you truly just human?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City was the first to react. Even though the Verification Stone had produced a result, he still asked in surprise.

"Is Wyatt Barnes really just a human martial artist?"

"Could there be something wrong with the Verification Stone?"

"That should be impossible."

...

As the Heavenly Guard, the Heavenly Elite Guard, and Kai Simmons came back to their senses, others followed suit one after another, unable to help but lower their voices and whisper to one another.

After witnessing Jan Clark’s ’precedent’, they did not dare to act recklessly in front of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"How? At this moment, do you, City Lord, still not believe me?"

Wyatt Barnes didn’t expect that even now, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City would ask such a question.

For a moment, he felt a bit speechless in his heart.
