Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 23: The Fifth Level of the Body Tempering Realm!

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: The Fifth Level of the Body Tempering Realm!

Inhaling deeply, Christina Lee voiced out the doubts in her heart.

Her eyes fixed intently on her son’s eyes, as if trying to discern something.

"Mother, it’s not the first time I’ve killed someone."

Wyatt Barnes, prepared for this, responded without hesitation, a slight smile on his face.

"When did you kill someone previously, and why didn’t I know about it?"

Christina Lee raised an eyebrow, curiosity filling her voice.

"Mother, before today, I’ve killed people in my dreams... quite a few of them. An old man in my dreams arranged for me to do these training exercises. I remember the first time I killed someone in my dream, I was extremely scared and even threw up."

Wyatt Barnes explained.

Again with the dreams!

Although Christina Lee found it hard to believe her son’s words, she had no idea how to account for the change that had occurred in him.

"It seems that the old man in your dream really cares for you. Wyatt, let’s go to the main hall. The family head is still waiting..."

After taking a deep breath, Christina Lee ceased her questioning.

Wyatt Barnes agreed, accompanying Christina Lee to the great hall of the Lee Family.

"Brother Rodney, I trust you are well!"

Just as they approached the vicinity of the great hall, they heard a hearty laughter coming from the hall.

"Stand Holland? What is he doing here?"

Upon hearing the voice, Christina Lee was a bit puzzled.

But soon, she noticed the bitter smile on her son’s face.

"Wyatt, don’t tell me you’ve also offended the Holland Family?"

Christina Lee felt a twinge of worry.

The head of the Holland Family paying a visit at this time inevitably made her suspect something was amiss.

Wyatt Barnes felt a bit awkward as he explained the conflict he had with Bria Holland, the Holland Family’s daughter, at the Scent Sinking Restaurant.

"So that’s what happened. It’s a trivial matter... Stand Holland wouldn’t possibly come here to blame us for such thing; it must be related to something else."

Christina Lee let out a sigh of relief. She was genuinely concerned that her son had killed someone from the Holland Family.

Following closely behind Christina Lee, Wyatt Barnes entered the great hall of the Lee Family, only to find a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

"Hmph!"

Two middle-aged men walked out, brushing past Wyatt Barnes as they exited the hall.

Their piercing gazes seemed as though they wanted to tear Wyatt Barnes apart.

"Family Head... what’s going on?"

Christina Lee looked at Family Head Jeremy Lee, her face filled with confusion.

Before she went to find her son, two members of the Garcia Clan were eager to make her son pay with his life.

Now that her son was here, they surprisingly left without a word.

"This issue was all thanks to Miss Bria; she guessed that the Garcia Clan would come to our Lee family to file a complaint, so she asked Family Head Holland to bring her here as a witness... Bria was present when Wyatt killed Pete Garcia. Since Pete started the dispute, Wyatt was faultless."

Jeremy Lee laughed heartily.

"Many thanks to Miss Bria."

Christina Lee looked at the young lady in the hall and gave her a mild smile.

"Wyatt, we owe a lot to Miss Bria this time. Aren’t you going to extend your gratitude?"

Christina Lee turned towards Wyatt Barnes.

With a flash in his eyes and an interesting look at Bria, Wyatt Barnes wondered why she had chosen to help him.

"Thank you, Miss Bria."

Even though he didn’t want to, he had to keep up appearances since his mother had spoken.

"You’re welcome."

Bria Holland blinked and smiled like a blooming flower.

She was a far cry from the willful young lady they had met at the Scent Sinking Restaurant this morning.

"Miss Bria is indeed polite and educated, a testament to Head Holland’s good upbringing."

Jeremy Lee looked at the middle-aged man beside Bria Holland and gave a slight smile.

The middle-aged man was none other than Family Head Holland, Stand Holland.

Stand Holland shook his head and laughed, his gaze landing on Wyatt Barnes.

"The Lee Family’s young master is exceptional, possessing such strength at a young age. I’m afraid no one in Qingfeng Town could match him once he matures..."

"Ninth Elder, I dare to ask if your son is engaged?"

Next, Stand Holland redirected his gaze towards Christina Lee.

Stand Holland’s words left Christina Lee, Wyatt Barnes and Jeremy Lee stunned.

The three of them instinctively looked at Bria Holland who was beside Stand Holland, and noticed her cheeks were slightly flushed. They all guessed Stand Holland’s intentions.

"Could Bria have taken a liking to me?"

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback, refusing to believe this was true.

This morning at the Scent Sinking Restaurant, Bria Holland was at odds with him. Even if women are volatile, they wouldn’t change so drastically, would they?

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes caught his mother looking over, amusement gleaming in her eyes.

It almost seemed like she was probing him.

Feeling helpless, he shook his head.

"Family Head Holland, unfortunately, I just arranged a marriage for my son a while ago."

Christina Lee looked at Stand Holland, her face filled with apology.

"That’s a shame. Family Head Lee, Ninth Elder, Young Master Barnes... since the purpose of our visit has been fulfilled, my daughter and I will take our leave."

Stand Holland nodded, taking Bria Holland with him to leave.

As Bria Holland left, she casted a glance at Wyatt Barnes, her face full of dejection.

"Ninth Elder, when did you arrange a marriage for Wyatt, and why didn’t I know about it?"

Jeremy Lee looked at Christina Lee, expression full of confusion.

"Family Head, Keer is the girl I arranged to be his wife."

Mentioning Keer, Christina Lee’s face broke into a genuine smile.

Her words left Wyatt Barnes utterly surprised.

He thought to himself:

If Keer heard what her mother was saying, she would surely blush out of embarrassment again.

"So it is, it can be considered a match made in heaven."

Jeremy Lee nodded and smiled.

"Ninth Elder, I was summoned by the Grand Elder before those two from the Garcia Clan arrived, I haven’t had the chance to go yet. I’ll take my leave now."

Seeing Jeremy Lee excused himself and left, a smile emerged on Wyatt’s face.

He had guessed why the Grand Elder had summoned the Family Head and an idea formed in his mind.

"I hope that the Family Head isn’t too stingy... While the Thunder-Fire Pill might be considered a low-level Pill Medicine, for the Lee Family, its significance is monumental."

If all the children of the Elders of the Lee Family were to consume the Thunder-Fire Pill and then absorb the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid...

Their cultivation speed would double from before!

Of course, this was also the reason Wyatt was willing to share the formula for the Thunder-Fire Pill with Kayson Lee.

He urgently needed the Thunder-Fire Pill.

With the aid of the Thunder-Fire Pill, stepping into the Seventh-Order of the Body Tempering Realm in two and a half months isn’t impossible.

"Wyatt, why are you smiling? Let me tell you, no matter what, you can’t disappoint Keer, or your mother will never forgive you!"

Christina Lee sternly spoke to Wyatt.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Wyatt gave a bitter smile.

What was she getting at?

"Wyatt, in the recent period, if you’re going out, let your mother know, so I can accompany you."

Christina Lee added.

"Mom, are you worried that the Garcias will attack me?"

Wyatt guessed her intent.

"Yes. Regardless of whether it’s Wave Garcia or Abel Garcia, neither of them are up to any good, I’m worried that they’ll attack you in the shadows."

Christina Lee nodded.

"Mom, Pete Garcia wants to avenge his son, which is understandable. But why does Third Elder Abel Garcia of the Garcia Clan also want to target me?"

Wyatt was somewhat puzzled.

"Wyatt, Abel Garcia and Wave Garcia are far from ordinary, they are Wave’s biological brothers."

Christina Lee explained.

"So that’s how it is."

Wyatt suddenly understood.

It was surprising that Pete Garcia, whom he had killed, turned out to be the Third Elder’s nephew. No wonder he came directly to the Lee Family to settle the score.

However, the Garcia Clan should understand they were in the wrong in this matter. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been the Third Elder who came, but the Head of the Garcia Clan...

Ten days later, Grand Elder Kayson Lee summoned Wyatt.

Only after Wyatt had given Kayson Lee his final massage and eradicated his hidden illness, did he collect the first batch of Thunder-Fire Pills, which Kayson Lee had concocted.

This batch of Thunder-Fire Pills consisted of more than thirty pills.

"Young man, here’s your reward of a thousand taels, plus thirty thousand taels from the clan. This is for buying your Thunder-Fire Pill formula."

The old man pulled out a large stack of bank checks from his bosom and handed them to Wyatt.

"Grand Elder, thank you!"

Wyatt held the bank checks in his hand, showing no false humility.

"It looks to me like your physical body is close to reaching its limit. I suppose you’re about to break through to the Fifth Order of the Body Tempering Realm? With your talent and the help of the Thunder-Fire Pill, it’s not impossible for you to break through to the Seventh Order of Body Tempering Realm in two months... By then, relying on your swift sword, if nothing goes wrong, you should be able to kill Strength Garcia!"

The old man narrowed his eyes and slowly said.

"Grand Elder, you knew about it."

Wyatt was surprised.

It seemed that the Grand Elder already knew about him killing Pete Garcia—who was at the Sixth Order of the Body Tempering Realm—with his own Fourth Order cultivation half a month ago.

"This matter is no secret in Qingfeng Town. I heard about it from the Family Head half a month ago. Young man, I never thought you would hide your abilities... It looks like Hamza was justifiably disabled by you!"

The old man took a deep look at Wyatt.

"It was just a fluke."

Wyatt gave a sheepish smile, tucked the bank checks into his bosom, and excused himself to leave.

"What a pity, his ambitions lie beyond Qingfeng Town... Otherwise, in the future, it wouldn’t be impossible for our Lee Family to unify Qingfeng Town."

The old man sighed, his tone full of regret.

Naturally, Wyatt had no idea how highly the old man thought of him. After leaving the old man’s place, he went straight home.

After preparing the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid and water in the bath, he stripped off his clothes.

He then consumed the Thunder-Fire Pill.

At this moment, Wyatt could clearly feel a tangling pain emanating from all over his body...

The pain intensified!

"Hiss~~"

At this moment, Wyatt’s body seemed to be under a thunder-fire assault.

The painful sensation spread throughout his body, making him moan involuntarily...

Fortunately, having experienced two lifetimes, his will was exceptionally tenacious and he easily endured the potency of the Thunder-Fire Pill.

Half an hour later, Wyatt found that the soreness in his body was beginning to fade.

At this point, he could clearly feel as if all the pores throughout his body were completely opened, greedily absorbing the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid from the bath.

The absorption speed had doubled compared to before...

"Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Spirit Snake Transformation!"

As Wyatt greedily absorbed the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid, he began to operate his cultivation technique.

His energy and blood within his body strengthened continuously. His physical body underwent a terrifying transformation at a rapid pace and naturally broke through the limit.

Fifth Order of the Body Tempering Realm!

Wyatt opened his eyes and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

The Thunder-Fire Pill did not disappoint him...

Normally, it would take Wyatt half a day to fully absorb the medicinal power of one dose of the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid.

This was already his limit.

But after consuming the Thunder-Fire Pill...

In just one afternoon, he was able to absorb two doses of the Six-Treasure Body Tempering Liquid in succession and thereby, achieve his breakthrough!
