Chapter 154 Enemies Meet
Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Enemies Meet
In the classroom, Master Hawkins stood on the podium, slowly explaining ’The Way of Aide’...
Below the podium, a purple-robed boy was sprawled across his desk, sound asleep, forming a stark contrast to the seventeen other students who were diligently attending the lecture.
"Did Wyatt Barnes stay up all night yesterday?"
"He had a full afternoon nap yesterday. Even if he didn’t sleep last night, he shouldn’t be such a sleepyhead, right?"
Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair stared in astonishment at Wyatt Barnes who was deeply asleep.
"Enough, you all can think over what I just said."
Master Hawkins commanded the rest of the students, before making his way towards Wyatt Barnes’s desk. He gently tapped on the table, "Wyatt Barnes, come outside with me."
Wyatt Barnes lifted his head, rubbed his dry eyes, and on seeing Master Hawkins, gave an awkward smile, and obediently followed him out.
Wyatt Barnes initially thought that Master Hawkins had called him out because he had been sleeping in class...
But unexpectedly...
"You are an ’Inscription Master’, aren’t you?"
Master Hawkins’ eyes illuminated wisdom, as he fixated his gaze on Wyatt Barnes.
Wyatt Barnes’s heartbeat quickened, he stirred, immediately waking up. He looked deeply at Master Hawkins, "Master Hawkins, why do you say so?"
Master Hawkins faintly smiled, "I have some understanding of the ’Way of Inscriptions’. As per my knowledge, there are various types of ’fatigue’. And your kind of ’fatigue’ is evidently a result of overexertion of mental energy... Only an ’Inscription Master’ would encounter such a situation."
Master Hawkins spoke with authority, his words exquisite like precious artifacts.
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes narrowed.
Although Master Hawkins claimed to merely have a decent understanding of the ’Way of Inscriptions’, Wyatt Barnes knew that he was just being modest. Just from hearing the words he was speaking now, he knew that an average ’Inscription Master’ definitely couldn’t articulate such knowledge.
Clearly, this Master Hawkins, was also a seasoned ’Inscription Master’!
"I didn’t expect you to also be an ’Inscription Master’, teacher."
Wyatt Barnes gave him a slight smile, without denying the fact that he was an Inscription Master.
Since Master Hawkins could deduce his overexertion of mental energy, it was evident that he had already confirmed that Wyatt was an ’Inscription Master’. Even if Wyatt denied it, Master Hawkins wouldn’t believe it.
"I have just dabbled with the ’Way of Inscriptions’ slightly. You are still in your Condensed Pill Realm, your mental energy is limited, there is no need to focus too much on the ’Art of Inscriptions’...Wait till you advance in your cultivation, your mental energy will naturally increase. Then you can put more thought into the ’Art of Inscriptions’. That’s the proper way."
Master Hawkins’s face turned stern, and he persuaded patiently.
Clearly, he assumed that Wyatt Barnes was overzealous in studying the ’Art of Inscriptions’, hence leading to an overconsumption of mental energy.
"Yes, teacher."
Wyatt Barnes nodded slightly, understanding that Master Hawkins meant well, and he didn’t give any extra explanation.
"At your present age, focusing on upgrading your cultivation is the correct path...Later on, if you are indeed interested in the ’Art of Inscriptions’, although the inscriptions that I grasp are limited, I too can provide slight guidance to prevent you from taking unnecessary detours."
Master Hawkins continued, making it clear that he was sincerely looking out for Wyatt Barnes.
Guide me?
The corner of Wyatt’s mouth twitched.
He possessed the Martial Emperor’s lifetime worth of memories. The Martial Emperor’s ’Art of Inscriptions’ was definitely considered ’Peerless in the world’. Not to mention the small Crimson Heaven Kingdom, even in the entire Cloud Skies Continent, there might not be anyone who could compete with the Martial Emperor in the ’Art of Inscriptions’!
"Thank you, teacher."
Nevertheless, Wyatt Barnes still thanked Master Hawkins. After all, he meant well.
Although, with his mastery of the ’Art of Inscriptions’, even being Master Hawkins’s ’Forefather Master’ would be an understatement...
"Let’s return."
Following Master Hawkins’s beckoning, Wyatt Barnes returned with him to the classroom.
Before long, the morning class was over.
Remi Sinclair and Seeker Sinclair crowded around Wyatt Barnes, their eyes expressing an unspoken understanding as men, "Wyatt Barnes, you are still young. There are some things you should moderate, to avoid harm to your health..."
"Damn it! What the hell are you talking about?"
Wyatt glared at the two of them. He knew exactly what these two vulgar men were suggesting.
"Look at you, blushing and getting furious? We’re all grownups here, it’s perfectly normal to have affairs, isn’t it?"
Seeker laughed.
"Exactly, otherwise why would you be so sleepy today and even get scolded by Master Hawkins."
Remi nodded in agreement, his argument was sound and well-founded.
"I can’t be bothered with you guys!"
Wyatt rolled his eyes at them, and headed straight for the dining hall.
By the time the three of them got to the dining hall, they found Walter and Tiggi already occupying a table.
"Walter, Tiggi, you two are even earlier than us today."
Wyatt was a bit surprised.
"Rohan had something on today, so he left early."
Tiggi smiled, and then his expression turned serious, "Wyatt, did the ’Fifth Prince’ give you any trouble?"
Wyatt shook his head.
Even if the Fifth Prince intended to cause him trouble, he most certainly wouldn’t act this quickly.
Someone like the Fifth Prince, who had grown up amidst the schemes and intrigues in the Imperial Family, was undoubtedly very cautious. Considering his attitude towards Lela Tucker yesterday, unless he had thoroughly investigated Wyatt’s background, he wouldn’t act against him.
After all, the demeanor he had displayed yesterday gave the impression of someone with strong backing, showing no fear of the ’Fifth Prince’!
This was observed by many people at the time.
"It’s that ’Honor Barnes’ again."
Tiggi Field’s gaze settled on one of the two individuals approaching from a distance.
"Wyatt Barnes, there’s something different about Honor Barnes today. The way he’s looking at you is nothing like yesterday... it’s more like he is ’scared’ of you. Did you do something to him?"
As Remi Sinclair spoke, he watched Wyatt Barnes, his face filled with confusion.
Yet, what he found was startling.
The Wyatt Barnes of today had a fierce glint in his eyes, an aura of intense bloodlust emanating from his body...
The murderous intent was overwhelming, and although it wasn’t directed at him, it made his heart tremble.
Walter Simmons, Seeker Sinclair and Tiggi Field all visibly flinched, affected by Wyatt Barnes’s murderous aura...
Their gazes fell unanimously on a young man standing next to ’Honor Barnes’ in the distance.
"It’s him!"
Seeker Sinclair recognized the young man at first glance.
He was Avery Barnes, the son of ’Thundery Barnes’, the second master of the Barnes family!
Wyatt Barnes hadn’t expected to encounter ’Avery Barnes’, a man he loathed with every fiber of his being, in the Saint Martial Arts Academy.
His heart was trembling. The scene of Avery Barnes’ arrogance and violence, leaving him, Keer, and Darren Lee severely injured, was still vivid in his memory...
"Avery Barnes!"
Wyatt Barnes’ voice was filled with an endless chill. His hand was already reaching for the hilt of the Purple Emperor Soft Sword at his waist.
Now, with a single thought, he would unsheath his sword and cut down Avery Barnes!
Overcome suddenly by Wyatt Barnes’s bloodthirsty murderous intent, Honor Barnes’s face lost its color. His legs trembled. He felt as if he was a lone boat at sea, at the mercy of a turbulent storm...
This feeling was unbearable, almost suffocating!
"Does he... Does he know my cousin?"
Taking a deep breath, Honor Barnes forced himself to resist the bloodthirsty aura, his face pale as he focused on the distant figure in the purple robe.
He discovered that the purple-robed teen he hated so much seemed to hate his cousin just the same!
What was going on?
Could someone tell him?
"Hmm?"
The moment Avery Barnes was enveloped by the bloodthirsty intent, he felt a pang of familiarity...
As he tapped into his Origin Force, successfully countering the murderous intent, he turned his gaze to its source, falling on the purple-robed teen in the distance.
Two years had passed and the purple-robed teenager seemed to have matured considerably...
But he recognized him at a glance!
"Wyatt Barnes!"
Avery Barnes’ pupils constricted, as an irrepressible murderous intent shone in his eyes.
He had never expected Wyatt Barnes to appear in the Saint Martial Arts Academy. His presence here indicated only one possibility: that Wyatt Barnes had become a ’student’ of the Academy.
If his guess was accurate, Wyatt Barnes turned eighteen today...
He was eighteen and had passed the Academy’s ’entrance exam’ in the eighteen provinces to enter the Saint Martial Arts Academy?
Such talent surpassed that of ’Lanni Barnes’ from back in the day!
Only one thought was left in his mind...
This Wyatt Barnes must die!
He could imagine that if Wyatt Barnes didn’t die, he would become a great threat in the future.
"Wyatt Barnes, I’m really surprised. You not only inherited your short-lived father’s talent, but you’ve even surpassed him. At just eighteen years old, you’ve entered the Saint Martial Arts Academy."
Avery Barnes arrived at Wyatt Barnes’ table, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold smile.
"I’m also surprised. The son of a loser also managed to study in the Saint Martial Arts Academy...Tsk tsk, let me guess, you must have received the Barnes Family’s recommendation to enter the Saint Martial Arts Academy, right? The son of a loser is indeed worthless, needing to use ’backdoor’ methods to get into the Saint Martial Arts Academy!"
Wyatt Barnes’ gaze turned cold, meeting Avery’s head-on.
An invisible aura burst forth from their bodies, clashing repeatedly...
Everyone else present could sense the tense atmosphere.
"How dare you insult my father?"
Avery Barnes’ body trembled, the murderous intent in his eyes growing more concentrated, his voice ominously low.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Wyatt Barnes scoffed, utterly without fear.
The group of Saint Martial Arts Academy ’students’ around them, including Walter Simmons and Remi Sinclair, were dumbstruck.
They also realized that the moment Avery Barnes appeared, Wyatt Barnes seemed to transform... His gaze was as if he had encountered his lifelong enemy; he seemingly couldn’t wait to tear the other party into pieces!
And similarly, Avery Barnes, the moment he saw Wyatt Barnes, seemed to be filled with bloodthirsty hatred.
These two were like born enemies.
"C... Cousin... who is he...?"
Hiding behind Avery Barnes, Honor managed to dodge the murderous intent sweeping towards him head-on from Wyatt Barnes. Struggling to find his voice, he asked.
Wyatt Barnes?
Could this purple-robed youth be a member of the Barnes family too?
Avery’s eyes thinned into a line, his voice cold: "His background isn’t small. His father is ’Lanni Barnes’, the short-lived ghost from our Barnes family of the past!"
