Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 36: Our Clan

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Our Clan

The coming-of-age ceremony, a once-in-a-lifetime event for everyone, is particularly significant.

The Lee Family’s coming-of-age ceremony has traditionally been conducted in conjunction with the Garcia and Holland families, and this year is no exception.

This year, it takes place at the Holland Family mansion.

"Wyatt, Keer, after today, you both will be adults," Christina Lee said beseechingly to the young man and woman at her side, a loving look in her stunning eyes.

"Keer, did you hear that? We will be adults soon, so we can start making babies for mom to play with," the young man said to the girl at his side.

The young girl’s face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head, speechless.

"You wish, you scoundrel!" Christina Lee gave the young man a stern look then added, "Having a granddaughter wouldn’t be bad either. She is bound to be as beautiful as Keer."

Wyatt, upon hearing his mother’s serious tone, initially held back his teasing nature. However, he was left completely speechless upon hearing the rest of her statement.

Could this be genetics?

"Did you hear that? The Ninth Elder is looking forward to having a grandchild. If you don’t start losing weight after the coming-of-age ceremony, I will break your legs! With your current physique, no girl would dare marry you!"

Not far off, Moshe Lee of the Fifth Elder was scolding a chubby youngster next to him. The lad looked innocent as he resentfully gazed at the primary instigator.

Wyatt Barnes chose to ignore him completely.

The coming-of-age ceremony of the three major families of Aurora City occurs only once a year, reserved for boys and girls who have just reached sixteen. After today, Wyatt, Keer, and Darren Lee will all be sixteen years old.

All around the spacious Martial Arts Performance Field within the Holland Family mansion, stood the many eager descendants of the Holland family.

The heads of the Holland, Lee, and Garcia families were already up on the high platform in front of the performance field, responsible for presiding over today’s coming-of-age ceremony.

The coming-of-age ceremony essentially involves a few simple rituals, but the main event is the ’Friendship Martial Fight’ that takes place afterwards.

The so-called Friendship Martial Fight involves all the youths from the three major families of Aurora City who are holding their coming-of-age ceremony, challenging each other in martial combat and finally deciding the top ten, top three, and the first place for which the rewards prepared by the three families are distributed.

"Isn’t that Wyatt Barnes?"

As hundreds of youngsters gathered on the martial arts field, some sharp-eyed members of the Holland family recognized a young man standing amongst them.

"Right, Wyatt Barnes is also participating in the coming-of-age ceremony this year."

"It seems that this year’s Friendship Martial Fight is a foregone conclusion. Wyatt Barnes will certainly be the champion!"

"Of course, that’s a given. Probably no one dares to fight him."

...

The descendants of the Holland family were all buzzing with discussions.

"Is that Wyatt Barnes?"

A member of the Holland family was staring at the boy in the distance, froze in awe.

That boy wasn’t the one who had visited their weapon shop to purchase materials ages ago, the one who seemed to have an Artifact Refiner with him, was he?

Soon, the coming-of-age ceremony began!

After a simple ritual, the heads of the three families of Aurora City gave speeches - nothing more than some words of encouragement...

"How boring."

Wyatt furrowed his brows, feeling sleepy from the monotony, causing the girl next to him to cover her mouth and giggle.

"Boss, am I allowed to use Inscriptions during the Friendship Martial Fight after the coming-of-age ceremony?" The plump youth standing on the other side whispered his question.

"You may use them against anyone except our fellow Lee family members," Wyatt replied lazily.

"Boss, if it’s not anyone from our Lee family, I won’t need to use Inscriptions..." The plump youngster almost wanted to cry.

He could easily deal with the youngsters of Garcia and Holland families without using inscriptions. The problem was that this time several children of Elders from the Lee family were also participating in the coming-of-age ceremony.

He wasn’t confident about facing them!

"That’s what you get for being lazy!" Wyatt glared at the plump child, feeling helpless.

Even though Wyatt crafted a seven-treasure Body Tempering Liquid for Darren Lee, his reckless personality wouldn’t allow him to still to meditate and cultivate. He was still at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

The other children of the elders participated in the coming-of-age ceremony as well. Although their training conditions were not as good as Darren’s, and they only had the six-treasure Body Tempering Liquid, they had all entered the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm.

"Never mind, getting in the top ten should still be possible though," the chubby youngster quickly came to terms with the situation.

For him, the top three were merely a matter of pride. The additional rewards didn’t mean much to him.

Finally, as the speeches of the three heads came to an end, the Friendship Martial Fight officially commenced!

The youths of the three families combined numbered one hundred twenty-one participants. They were divided into two waves, sixty pairs, for the first round of eliminations.

However, this Friendship Martial Fight was destined to be different from the ones in the past due to the presence of Wyatt Barnes...

After a round of discussions by the heads of the three families, even if Justice Garcia was reluctant, he had to accept Wyatt’s strength. Wyatt was directly placed as the first champion of the martial fight!

No one amongst the youngsters present had any objections...

What a joke, Wyatt Barnes had just recently defeated a warrior in the first level of the Condensed Pill Realm. Even if Wyatt were to truly participate in the Friendship Martial Fight, anyone encountering him would concede without a fight.

Fighting against Wyatt, a monstrous talent, would be nothing short of masochism!

Wyatt’s strength now was far beyond that of his contemporaries in Aurora City...

"Boss, you get the easy life, not having to fight, and directly acquiring the champion title!’ the plump youth, holding the 32nd number tag, looked at Wyatt enviously.

Ignoring the plump youth, Wyatt turned to the girl by his side and asked, "Keer, what’s your number?"

"Number 7," the young girl responded with a smile.

Soon, the Friendship Martial Fight began.

Watching the boys and girls throwing punches and kicks in the martial arts field, Wyatt started to feel sleepy again.

It was not until Keer entered the field that he felt slightly energized.

Once Keer stepped on stage, she stood there, tall and graceful.

Her refined and ethereal figure, combined with an angelic face, soon attracted everyone’s attention...

"She’s so beautiful!"

"If I could marry a woman like that, I wouldn’t mind shortening my life by ten years."

"Stop daydreaming, have a look at yourself. This is Wyatt Barnes’s woman."

...

Some young men from the Holland family looking on, their eyes glowed with desire as they greedily stared at the girl on stage.

"Level Eight of the Body Tempering Realm!"

On the high platform, all three clan leaders, including Jeremy Lee from the Lee Family, were stunned. With a single glance, they discerned the girl’s cultivation level.

Keer’s opponent was a slightly introverted young man with a cultivation level at the Third Level of Body Tempering Realm. His moves were standard and predictable. He was easily repelled by Keer with a casual palm strike, prompting him to concede defeat.

From the beginning to the end, Keer used no martial skills...

Of course, the main reason was that Keer did not know any martial skills.

It was not because Wyatt was stingy; he had even imparted the top-tier Cold Ice Divine Sword Formula to Keer. He certainly wouldn’t mind giving her ordinary martial skills; he just didn’t want her to be distracted.

"Level Eight of the Body Tempering Realm!"

At this moment, a grand elder from the Holland family stared intently at the young girl walking down from the field, exclaiming in surprise.

Hearing his words, the members of the Holland family around him were stunned into statues!

This girl, barely sixteen, is a Level Eight warrior in the Body Tempering Realm?

Soon, everyone in the Martial Arts Performance Field knew about the girl’s cultivation level. Those who found out first were stunned for a long time, unable to recover their senses. Once they had regained their senses, they turned their eyes towards the beautiful girl who was shyly laughing with Wyatt Barnes.

"She’s a Level Eight warrior in the Body Tempering Realm? Are you joking...?"

"The Third Elder said it, do you think it’s a joke?"

"Damn! Not only is this Wyatt Barnes a freak, even the people around him are freaks!"

...

The friendly martial arts competition was briskly underway. A day passed and, as dusk fell, the final results were out.

First, Wyatt Barnes.

Second, Keer.

Third, Lee Sheng.

Fourth, Lee Ke.

Fourth, Krew Lee.

Sixth, Darren Lee.

...

Out of the top ten, six were from the Lee Family!

The patriarch of the Lee Family, Jeremy Lee, was grinning from ear to ear, not surprised at all.

The patriarch of the Holland Family, Stand Holland, had a stunned look on his face, having not expected this outcome.

The patriarch of the Garcia Clan, Justice Garcia, had a gloomy expression; out of the top ten, his clan had only secured one spot.

Next, the prizes were distributed...

Wyatt Barnes, who came in first, received 300 USD, along with two Body Tempering Pills.

Keer, who came in second, and Lee Sheng, who came in third, each received 200 USD and one Body Tempering Pill.

The remaining seven received 100 USD each.

"Stingy! So stingy!"

Wyatt Barnes received the ’First Place’ rewards that many were envious of, a dissatisfied expression on his face as he casually stuffed the rewards into his pocket.

"Young Master!"

At this moment, Keer obediently handed her rewards to Wyatt Barnes.

Immediately, the surrounding gazes, burning with envy, seemed as if they could ignite Wyatt Barnes on fire...

In one corner of the Martial Arts Performance Field, Bria Holland, who was surrounded and fawned upon by many, bit her lip as she looked at the teenage boy and girl laughing and talking in the distance.

When she looked at the girl, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in her eyes.

As night fell, the Coming of Age ceremony completely concluded.

No matter whether it was the Garcia Clan or the Holland Family, both patriarchs held an emergency meeting that night. The main topic of the meeting was, of course, discussing the performances of the young men and women from the Lee Family today.

Out of the top ten spots in the friendly martial arts competition, six were occupied by one family...

In the history of Clear Wind Town, such a thing has never happened before!

Anything unnatural is bound to arouse suspicion!

In the following period, the two families began to secretly investigate the Lee Family...

However, their efforts ended up being fruitless. They found nothing.

In the main hall of the Lee Family, patriarch Jeremy Lee spoke to the two young attendees.

"Wyatt, Keer, today I have called you here because there’s a matter I want to discuss with you," Jeremy Lee said, looking at the boy and girl before him.

"Please go ahead, patriarch," Wyatt Barnes replied, raising an eyebrow.

"Given your current achievements, there are some things that you should know... actually, our Lee Family of Clear Wind Town is just a branch of the Lee Family of Aurora City," Jeremy Lee slowly stated.

"Lee Family of Aurora City?" Wyatt Barnes was surprised.

He had heard of Aurora City, and he also knew that there was a Lee Family in Aurora City.

That was a prominent family in Aurora City, undoubtedly a colossal existence compared to the Lee Family in Clear Wind Town.

However, he did not expect that the Lee Family of Clear Wind Town would have any connection with the Lee Family of Aurora City, let alone being its branch family.

Jeremy Lee continued, "Our Lee Family patriarch has a rule. Any offshoot family member who becomes an alchemist, an artifact refiner, an inscriptionist, or reaches the Seventh Level of the Body Tempering Realm before turning eighteen, can join the main clan and have a place there."
