Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 155: Life-and-Death Battle

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Life-and-Death Battle

Short-lived ghost?

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze became even icier...

Although he had no feelings for that cheap old man, he was still his father, the husband of his most respected mother, and he would not allow this Avery Barnes to blaspheme him!

Honor Barnes was stunned.

Lanni Barnes?

He had heard of this name...

Lanni Barnes, the once unparalleled genius of the ’Barnes Family’ in the Imperial City, a man who rose like a comet, disappeared completely eighteen years ago, without any news afterwards.

In spite of this absence, many people still remember him deeply.

If Lanni Barnes hadn’t disappeared, he would’ve been the ’third master’ of the Barnes Family.

No, if Lanni Barnes had not disappeared, as long as he was willing, the position of the ’Clan Chief’ of this generation of the Barnes Family could be his!

Honor Barnes had never imagined...

The purple-clad youth he hated to the bone was actually the son of ’Lanni Barnes’...

While Honor Barnes stared in shock, the eyes of everyone in the field fell on Wyatt Barnes.

Especially Seeker Sinclair, whose pupils unconsciously constricted.

Wyatt Barnes was indeed part of the Barnes family, and not only that, he was the son of Lanni Barnes, the man who was once recognized as an unparalleled genius in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom...

Remi Sinclair and Tiggi Field had heard of ’Lanni Barnes’, more or less.

They had never expected that Wyatt Barnes would possess such an identity!

A legitimate heir of the Barnes Family in the Imperial City!

"Lanni Barnes?"

Surprise flickered in Walter Simmons’s eyes as he looked deeply at Wyatt Barnes.

"This young man is actually the son of that ’Lanni Barnes’!"

"I never thought that Lanni Barnes would still have a descendant in this world... This young man obviously did not come recommended by the Barnes family, but he was able to pass the ’entrance exam’ of the eighteen prefectures and enter our Holy Martial Arts Academy at such a young age. His talent is truly monstrous!"

Some students from the Holy Martial Arts Academy began to whisper among themselves.

"Avery Barnes, my journey to the Imperial City, my entrance into the Holy Martial Arts Academy, was to kill you to pay back for the ’gift’ you gave two years ago... Now, I officially challenge you to a duel to the death. Do you dare to accept it?"

Wyatt got up from his seat, his eyes twinkling with a cold light, and his voice as cold as if it were emanating from an ice cave.

He couldn’t wait to kill Avery Barnes directly.

However, given his current predicament, he knew he couldn’t be impulsive. He needed to kill Avery Barnes ’righteously’, forcing Thundery Barnes to swallow his broken teeth into his belly.

Wyatt Barnes’ words left everyone present in shock again.

"Has Wyatt Barnes gone mad?"

"Avery Barnes is a fourth-year student, rumored to have reached the Ninth Order of the Condensed Pill Realm... Although Wyatt Barnes shows potential, he’s only about eighteen years old and a freshman!"

Many of the students at the Holy Martial Arts Academy were alarmed by Wyatt Barnes’ words.

"Wyatt Barnes, don’t be reckless!"

Seeker Sinclair quickly advised, his face changing.

Although he knew Wyatt Barnes was powerful and believed that Wyatt Barnes could surpass Avery Barnes one day...

Right now, Wyatt Barnes was undoubtedly still far behind Avery Barnes!

Seeker had witnessed Wyatt Barnes’s power first-hand. Although he was formidable, he was just a bit stronger than Walter Simmons, invincible in the Condensed Pill Realm Seventh-Order, but if he encountered someone in the Eighth Order, he would struggle, let alone someone like Avery Barnes who was at the Ninth Order!

Remi Sinclair and Tiggi Field also learned of Avery Barnes’s achievement from the surrounding chatter. Their expressions changed, and they both tried to dissuade Wyatt Barnes.

Only Walter Simmons, who noticed the chilly winter light and hint of a smile in Wyatt’s eyes, remained thoughtful and didn’t interfere...

"You... challenge me? A duel to the death?"

Avery Barnes found Wyatt Barnes’ words somewhat incredulous.

From the moment he saw Wyatt Barnes, he had wished he could have killed Wyatt Barnes himself. Unfortunately, this was the Holy Martial Arts Academy, where bearing the consequences of a senseless killing, even as the son of the second master of the Barnes family, was a burden he couldn’t bear!

But if it was a ’deadly duel’, it would be much more difficult...

If the ’deadly duel’ was agreed upon, even if he killed his opponent, the Holy Martial Arts Academy would not interfere...

"What, are you afraid?"

Wyatt laughed coldly.

Just as Avery was about to respond to the challenge.

"Cousin."

Honor Barnes began to speak, a hint of fear in his eyes, whispering: "This Wyatt Barnes is the purple-clothed youth who injured me two months ago... Didn’t you say last night that we shouldn’t act rashly, and we should check him first before having our uncle deal with him?"

"What? He’s the purple-clothed youth you mentioned?"

Avery Barnes’s pupils contracted, he never thought that his cousin’s enemy would be Wyatt Barnes!

"Yes."

Honor Barnes nodded, and with a fearful look said, "Cousin, Wyatt Barnes initiated this challenge. There’s something fishy about it... Don’t agree to it."

When he found out that Wyatt Barnes was ’Lanni Barnes’s’ son, he was scared.

Although Lanni Barnes disappeared almost twenty years ago, nobody had ever been able to confirm his death...

Plus, some people claimed that Lanni Barnes was likely still alive.

If Lanni Barnes was alive...

Wyatt Barnes could potentially have one of the biggest backers in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom.

"Hmph! I have my own opinion."

Avery Barnes’s eyes narrowed. Would he refuse Wyatt Barnes’s challenge?

The answer was no.

After hearing his cousin ’Honor Barnes’s’ words, his determination to kill Wyatt Barnes grew even more! The people by Wyatt’s side even had Original Infant Realm martial artists for protection...

He had a feeling that if he missed this opportunity, it would be harder to kill Wyatt Barnes in the future than scaling the heavens!

"Hahahaha....."

Upon hearing Avery Barnes and Honor Barnes whispering to each other for quite some time, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but burst into laughter. His voice was full of arrogance and unrestrained energy. "Avery Barnes, you’re indeed a worthy son of the useless second master of the Barnes family, unable to even accept a ’life-and-death challenge’ from an eighteen-year-old boy.... You’re a coward!"

Coward!

As Wyatt Barnes finished speaking, the ’students’ of the Holy Martial Arts Academy looked at Avery Barnes in a strange way.

"Surely Avery Barnes isn’t really too scared to accept Wyatt Barnes’ ’life-and-death duel’?"

"Is he even a man? A senior fourth-year student, afraid to accept a ’life-and-death challenge’ from a first-year freshman.... moreover, this challenger is just a teenager!"

"This Avery Barnes, from this day onward in the Holy Martial Arts Academy, and even in the Imperial City, probably can’t hold his head high."

...

Some students voiced out, adding fuel to the fire.

These voices were like needles piercing Avery Barnes’ ears. His face turned cold and frosty. He turned to Wyatt Barnes, "Wyatt Barnes, you are even more arrogant than your father! Since you seek death, then I will be your guide..... I accept your ’life-and-death challenge!’"

Avery Barnes agreed decisively.

"Cousin!"

Honor Barnes’ face changed. He had a sense that things were wrong and felt somewhat anxious.

"Shut up!"

However, after being glared at by Avery Barnes, Honor Barnes immediately stopped talking.

He knew that he couldn’t intervene in the matters decided by his cousin...

At this moment, more people were gathering at Wyatt Barnes’ corner of the dining hall.

Suddenly.

"Unexpectedly, even a meal can turn into such an interesting event... Since you guys want to have a ’life-and-death duel’, even this old man wants to get in on the action and witness it for you!"

An elderly voice echoed down from the loft of the dining hall.

The dining hall loft, typically off-limits to ’students’ of the Holy Martial Arts Academy.

At this moment, an old man in grey robes slowly walked down from the loft.

"Deputy Headmaster!"

"Deputy Headmaster!"

...

Suddenly, the students one by one respectfully greeted the old man.

Wyatt Barnes also looked over.

The thin grey-robed old man had plain features, but despite his age, appeared energetic, with his eyes gleaming brightly.

This was a ’powerful’ individual!

Or at least to the current Wyatt Barnes, the old man was a powerful individual.

"Vice Principal!"

Even the rebellious Avery Barnes greeted the old man respectfully upon seeing him.

Wyatt Barnes also slightly nodded towards the old man.

"You guys want to have a life-and-death duel, is that correct?"

The old man lifted an eyebrow, a hint of anticipation flickering at the corner of his mouth, "Then I will act as a witness to your fight...However, should we notify your elders to attend? This matter is extremely serious, it could lead to the loss of lives!"

"No need!"

Wyatt Barnes shook his head.

Notify elders to be present?

He could imagine that if his mother came, she would definitely not allow him to duel Avery Barnes to the death.

"How about you?"

The old man looked at Avery Barnes and asked again.

Avery Barnes cold eyes landed on Wyatt Barnes as he said slowly: "I don’t need to either, after all, the one who’ll die is not me..."

The self-confidence was evident in Avery Barnes’ voice.

"Go to the Martial Arts Performance Field then."

The old man nodded, his figure moved, and he almost seemed to disappear from his original location, when he reappeared, he was already more than a dozen meters away.

"Such fast speed!"

Wyatt Barnes’ eyes contracted, a shocked expression on his face. The old man’s speed was much faster than Fill Bear’s, and it was even safe to say that their speeds were not at the same level.

Of course, it was also because Fill Bear had not yet recovered his full strength, once he entered the ’Original Pill Realm’ and concocts the ’Level Eight Spirit Pill’ for Fill Bear, Fill Bear’s strength would certainly be restored to the level of the ’Peep Naught Realm’.

At that time, in the Crimson Heaven Kingdom, the fourth true ’Peep Naught Realm master’ would be born!

All the students in the dining hall, whether they were still eating or waiting for food, all rushed out and followed them.

Life-and-Death duel!

Such an exciting event doesn’t happen daily....

You can skip meals, but you can’t pass up such an exciting event!

"He’s called ’Wyatt Barnes’?"

A woman dressed in red, clutching a black whip, followed along in the company of another woman. Her eyes shimmered with a chilling aura.

It was ’Lela Tucker’!

"Miss Lela, that Wyatt Barnes, a freshman student, dared to challenge a senior fourth-year student, and it’s a ’life-or-death duel’.... This time he is surely dead! Now someone will avenge your grievance."

The woman who was trailing Lela Tucker said with a smile.

"Humph! It’s only a pity that he can’t die by my hand... but even if he gets killed, I won’t let his corpse rest, as I’ve said before I will tear him to shreds, and I will keep my word!"

An icy chill filled Lela Tucker’s voice.

Her chilling words caused the complexion of the woman following her to turn pale with fear.
