Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Fight him hard and fast!
Why was there such confidence?
Hearing Eastern Ho’s question, Wyatt Barnes merely smiled, without offering any further explanation.
He believed.
Soon, Eastern Ho would know the answer.
When Chloe Taylor heard Eastern Ho’s words, a slight surprise flashed in her eyes as she studied Wyatt Barnes intently. Finally, she nodded, no longer trying to persuade Wyatt Barnes any further.
She could see that Wyatt Barnes was filled with confidence.
Unwavering confidence!
A thought crossed her mind.
Perhaps, the man before her would once again create a miracle that would astonish everyone...
In no time at all, all the disciples participating in the second round of the tournament had drawn their own ’number plates’.
"Now, all of you, twenty-nine in total, have drawn your own number plates," stated Colin Clark, the master of Sunrise Peak, slowly. "Now, those who drew the second and third number plates, proceed to the ’First Duel Platform.’ Those who drew the fourth and fifth number plates, proceed to the ’Second Duel Platform.’ Follow this pattern all the way until ’number nineteen.’ All of you, proceed."
There were ten ’Duel Platforms’ in total on the Sunrise Terrace.
Now, except for the Duel Platform in the center, which was left vacant, there were additional figures on the remaining nine Duel Platforms...
The nine elders of Sunrise Peak subsequently presided over each of them.
"Elder sister Chloe Taylor," called Wyatt Barnes, standing on the vacant Duel Platform in the middle of the Terrace, gazing at the silhouette on the Fourth Duel Platform.
Just then.
"I concede!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, breaking the momentary tranquility on the Terrace.
On the Seventh Duel Platform, someone conceded defeat.
In an instance, the attention of the other competitors on the Terrace was drawn towards the one who conceded.
"Elder brother Ronin Stone has conceded?"
A group of Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples watched dumbfounded as Ronin Stone exited the ’Seventh Duel Platform’, their faces filled with disbelief.
They weren’t surprised at others conceding.
But the one who conceded was Ronin Stone!
The top disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s outer sect!
"Why on earth did Elder brother Ronin Stone concede? It’s very peculiar."
Some of the disciples from the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s outer sect wore befuddled expressions. They had no idea what had happened and couldn’t understand what was unfolding before their eyes.
"You really don’t know? Let me tell you, Elder brother Ronin Stone conceded for the challenges ahead...If I’m not wrong, he must be planning to challenge ’Wyatt Barnes’!"
"Challenge Wyatt Barnes? Why?"
"Because he wants to kill Wyatt Barnes!"
"How did you find out?"
"I’m a disciple of Heavenly Authority Peak. Elder brother Ronin Stone came to our peak three months ago and openly declared his intention to duel Wyatt Barnes on the Life and Death Stage... Unfortunately, Wyatt Barnes has been avoiding him and Elder brother Ronin Stone hasn’t had the opportunity. Now that he has one, do you think he’ll let it pass?"
"So that’s how it is... But why does Ronin Stone have a grudge against Wyatt Barnes?"
"I didn’t know at first either, but after some inquiries, I found out that Wyatt Barnes destroyed the martial core of Elder brother Ronin Stone’s younger sister, ’Naomi Stone’... Everyone in the outer sect of our Seven Stars Sword Clan knows how much Elder brother Ronin Stone loves his sister, Naomi Stone. Tell me, how could he not seek revenge for her?"
"Wyatt Barnes destroyed Naomi Stone’s martial core?"
...
The conversation between the two disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan quickly spread.
Before long, almost everyone standing on the Sunrise Terrace was aware of the situation.
Wyatt Barnes had crippled Naomi Stone’s martial core...
Ronin Stone detested Wyatt Barnes to the bone and wanted to kill him!
"Wyatt Barnes, you..."
Eastern Ho, who was standing next to Wyatt Barnes, was flabbergasted. He’d known Ronin Stone was looking for trouble with Wyatt Barnes, but he hadn’t known this was the reason.
Wyatt Barnes shrugged nonchalantly, giving a light smile, "Surprised?"
Eastern Ho nodded, "Indeed, quite surprised. Everyone in the outer sect of our Seven Stars Sword Clan knows how much Ronin Stone dotes on his sister... And you, you went ahead and crippled her martial core! It’s no wonder Ronin Stone wants to challenge you to a deadly duel."
"But you don’t seem to be the type who would act without reason. Why did you cripple Naomi Stone’s martial core?" Eastern Ho looked at Wyatt Barnes with a puzzled expression.
"It’s really nothing special. Naomi Stone firstly insulted my woman for no reason, then declared repeatedly that she would cripple my martial core. She even took action... All I did was reciprocate in kind."
Wyatt Barnes’s words were casual, as if the matter he mentioned had no bearing on him whatsoever.
Eastern Ho suddenly understood, "I heard Naomi Stone has been acting recklessly on the Shimmering Light Peak, taking advantage of her brother’s power... This time, she managed to provoke you. It’s her own bad luck."
The conversation between the two wasn’t loud, but it was nevertheless overheard by the master of Sunrise Peak, Colin Clark, who was standing not too far away.
A faint smile formed at the corner of Colin Clark’s lips.
This Wyatt Barnes was indeed true to his character.
Yet, he was audacious.
Was he not afraid of Ronin Stone’s revenge?
Now Ronin Stone had conceded and it was clear that his target was Wyatt Barnes.
Ronin Stone was back, and the gaze he directed towards Wyatt Barnes was filled with hostility and viciousness.
"Ronin Stone, he’s mine," declared Kade Cruz, looking at Ronin Stone. A glint of cold light in his eyes, his voice full of dominance.
"Humph!"
Ronin Stone gave Kade Cruz a disinterested glance, completely ignoring him as if he wasn’t worth his attention.
Kade Cruz’s face darkened and his eyes flashed menacingly. In his heart, he made a vow, "Ronin Stone, today, not only will I kill Wyatt Barnes, but I will also kill you... After today, I will replace you as the top disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s outer sect!"
At this time, an intense battle had begun on the other eight stages.
"How powerful."
Wyatt Barnes clearly saw that on the fourth stage, Chloe Taylor moved and dodged her opponent’s fierce sword. Her own sword shadow enveloped and fell, like a shower of flowers covering the sky, forcing her opponent to retreat.
From start to finish, she did not harm her opponent at all.
"Thank you for showing mercy."
The one who was forced to retreat was a Seventh Order disciple of the Original Pill Realm, his forehead still beading with cold sweat, he directly conceded and descended from the fourth stage.
Chloe Taylor won, advanced!
Soon, the results from the other combat stages also came out.
Seven more people advanced one after another.
Only a few were injured; none were killed.
Although this outer sect martial arts competition did not consider life or death, in the eyes of the outer sect disciples participating, their opponents were still their fellow disciples, without grudges or grievances, there was no need for this to be a fight to the death.
"The order remains the same... the remaining ten outer sect disciples, step up!"
Sunrise Peak’s Peak Master ’Colin Clark’ said slowly.
"Wyatt Barnes, I’m going."
Eastern Ho greeted Wyatt Barnes and stepped onto the distant stage.
"I concede!"
This time, someone else conceded.
Kade Cruz!
Because of the ’precedent set by’ Ronin Stone, the group of Seven Stars Sword Clan disciples were surprised, but not as dramatically as when Ronin Stone conceded earlier.
"Did Brother Kade Cruz concede? Was it also for Wyatt Barnes?"
"This Wyatt Barnes, first offended Brother Ronin Stone, and now he has provoked Brother Kade Cruz... Today, unless he voluntarily concedes, he is undoubtedly going to die!"
...
Some Seven Star Sword Clan disciples glanced at Wyatt Barnes and couldn’t help but shake their heads.
Soon, the outcomes of the other eight decided.
Eastern Ho won!
The outer martial competition continued.
Excluding Wyatt Barnes and the fourteen eliminated, the remaining fourteen began the second round of competition...
This time, the winning seven will be ranked alongside Wyatt Barnes, temporarily occupying the top ten seats.
The battle began!
The sword shadows crisscrossed on the seven stages.
Every Seventh Order outer disciple, including Chloe Taylor and Eastern Ho, demonstrated all their lifelong skills. The dazzling sword skills, whistling out, were omnipresent.
As time passed, the battles on the seven stages came to an end one by one.
Chloe Taylor and Eastern Ho advanced!
Together with five other Seventh Order outer disciples, they temporarily held the top ten seats.
The seven who were eliminated had to draw lots again.
The one who drew the number one card temporarily held a spot in the top ten seats.
The strongest of the remaining six will occupy the last spot in the top ten seats.
From this point, the ten who temporarily held the top ten seats were decided.
Wyatt Barnes, Chloe Taylor, and Eastern Ho were among them.
"Very well... now that the ten seats in the temporary top ten have been decided, next is the free challenge! The remaining nineteen outer sect disciples can challenge anyone from the temporary top ten."
"If you win, you can replace them! If you lose, you will lose the challenge opportunity."
"Everyone has one chance to challenge. I hope you choose wisely."
Sunrise Peak’s Peak Master ’Colin Clark’ opened his mouth resolutely: "Now, the remaining nineteen people, choose your opponent according to the number tag you hold..."
Hearing Colin Clark’s words, Kade Cruz’s face sank, his cold gaze fell on the number tag in his hand.
His tag was ’Number Twenty-Five’.
According to the rules set by Colin Clark.
He had to wait until those before him had chosen their opponents...
Anyone else would have done.
But Ronin Stone was also ahead of him!
The first one to choose an opponent was the holder of the ’Number Two’ tag, an outer male disciple.
His gaze swept over Wyatt Barnes and the other nine, finally landing on Wyatt Barnes, as he seemed to be the only one he could confidently defeat.
"Humph!"
However, when he heard a cold snort, he found that Ronin Stone’s indifferent gaze had fallen on him, making him feel uncomfortable.
Only then did he remember, the reason Ronin Stone had conceded earlier was for this Wyatt Barnes...
Taking a deep breath, he ultimately did not choose Wyatt Barnes.
He didn’t dare offend Ronin Stone!
He had no choice but to select someone else.
As a result, he was defeated and lost his qualification to compete for the top ten in the outer martial competition.
All of this, Wyatt Barnes observed with cold eyes.
He knew that his first battle today would inevitably confront ’Ronin Stone’!
As he had said to Eastern Ho before:
What’s meant to come will always find its way...
If he couldn’t avoid it, then meet it head on, and have a swift and decisive battle!
