Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 396 ’The First in Martial Arts

Chapter 396: Chapter 396 ’The First in Martial Arts

Young Master Blade flew out like an arrow that had left the string, coughing up several mouthfuls of coagulated blood before finally stumbling to a halt, almost falling over.

Though he didn’t collapse, Young Master Blade’s face was pallid.

"I... I lost."

Deeply inhaling, Young Master Blade took out a pill medicine and engulfed it, allowing the Origin Force to wrap around his body and digest the medicinal power.

Once he had recovered a little, Young Master Blade looked resolutely at Wyatt Barnes, "I’ll come for you again... Once I step into the Seventh Layer of the Original Infant Realm, I will personally come to the Seven Stars Sword Clan, defeat you, and wash away the shame of today!"

As his words faded, Young Master Blade leaped up, picked up his sixth-rank Spirit Blade, and vanished in the wind, disappearing from Martial Arts Institute.

Young Master Blade, though defeated, was not dispirited.

He had made a vow to defeat Wyatt Barnes another day, to wash away his past shame!

"This Young Master Blade, he’s much more agreeable than Mr. Zither."

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes twitched, and a faint smile played around his lips.

Young Master Blade had earned his respect.

Recalling the previous scene, Wyatt Barnes gave a wistful sigh.

If he didn’t have his keen spiritual power to seize the moment the young master’s spirit blade ’sword seed’ was annihilated...

If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat Young Master Blade in their head-to-head showdown.

With Young Master Blade’s departure, the crowd at the Martial Arts Institute finally snapped out of their stupor.

The first to come around were the elders and sect leaders of the major sects...

The Snow Moon Sect, the Returning Origin Sect, and the Mountain-Opening Sect’s leaders and elders, all chose to remain silent for now.

However, their gazes fell simultaneously on Wyatt Barnes as if they had agreed on it beforehand.

At this moment, Wyatt Barnes’s brows twitched slightly.

Simultaneously, his eardrums vibrated, receiving three messages composed of condensed Origin Force.

"Wyatt Barnes, if you are willing to join my Snow Moon Sect, I am willing to relinquish my position and assist you in becoming the new ’Sect Leader’ of the Snow Moon Sect!"

Wyatt Barnes recognized it as the voice of the Snow Moon Sect’s leader.

"Wyatt Barnes, as long as you join my Returning Origin Sect, I am willing to step down so you can become the new Sect Leader... Moreover, I am willing to let the strongest Protector Elder of our Sect take you as his direct disciple, allowing for your optimal growth."

This was the voice of the Returning Origin Sect leader.

"Wyatt Barnes, join my Mountain-Opening Sect... Whatever you desire, as long as it’s within my Mountain-Opening Sect’s capabilities, we will fulfill it for you! This includes the Sect Leader position, cultivation environment, including..."

This was the voice of the Mountain-Opening Sect leader.

At the same time, the three sect leaders coaxed Wyatt Barnes offering him their roles.

Wyatt Barnes was taken aback for a moment.

No doubt, the conditions offered by the three Sect Leaders were very tempting.

Especially the Mountain-Opening Sect Leader, who was willing to fulfill any of his wishes that was within the sect’s capabilities...

This also meant that once he joined the Mountain-Opening Sect, he would have unimaginable benefits.

"My apologies to the three Sect Leaders."

Wyatt Barnes transmitted his response using the same method into the ears of the three Sect Leaders.

The Sect Leaders paused, exchanging glances, each realizing that the others held the same intention.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

The Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect came back to his senses, his eyes complex as he looked at Wyatt Barnes.

This Wyatt Barnes had actually defeated his adopted son ’Kase Dragonsmith’, who was one of the most outstanding figures among the younger generation of the Royal Country.

If Wyatt Barnes had been an older disciple of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, it would have been acceptable.

But this Wyatt Barnes was only twenty-two years old!

At the age of twenty-two, he had defeated the twenty-six-year-old Kase Dragonsmith.

He didn’t doubt that once this news spread, it would cause a great sensation in the Royal Country...

"My goal is to be ’Number One in the Grand Martial Meet’!"

The Demon Lotus Blade Sect leader, couldn’t help but to recall Wyatt’s previous declaration.

At the time, he hadn’t taken Wyatt Barnes’s words seriously, thinking it was just youthful arrogance.

But now, Wyatt Barnes had proven with facts.

He not only had the strength to seize the ’Number One in the Grand Martial Meet’ but had indeed claimed it!

"This Wyatt Barnes... Has he really become ’Number One in the Grand Martial Meet’?"

The elders of the Four Great Sects all looked stupefied.

"Wyatt Barnes, at the age of twenty-two, defeated the twenty-six-year-old Young Master Blade... Today’s battle alone is enough to make his name famous!"

"Only twenty-two years old and defeating one of the most outstanding figures among the younger generation in Royal Country... This Wyatt Barnes’s future will surely surpass the Five Outstanding Young Masters!"

"With his talent and methods, in a few years, he’ll be able to sweep all five Young Masters!"

"In a few years, he’ll only be twenty-five or twenty-six years old..."

"Monster!"

"Abnormal!"

...

The disciples of the various sects had all come back to their senses, their discussions filling the air.

Their gaze when looking at Wyatt Barnes was full of reverence.

Their words now showed no signs of belittling Wyatt Barnes.

At this moment, it seemed as if they could already see Wyatt Barnes sweeping across the Royal Country ’Five Outstanding Young Masters’ in a few years...

This miracle-man had won over both their hearts and their words.

"He... actually defeated Young Master Blade head-on...."

The female disciple ’Aliza Mullins’ from the Snow Moon Sect, her face dazed, stared at Wyatt Barnes in awe.

Now, this young man whom she had previously disregarded was like an insurmountable peak in her eyes. A towering peak she felt she could never surpass.

It bred a feeling of helplessness rising from her soul.

"In terms of power, I am not as skilled as Young Master Blade...in terms of judgement, I am even less so!"

Recalling the words Young Master Blade had previously, remembering her previous contempt and unwillingness against Wyatt, Aliza could only wish the ground would open up and swallow her. She wished she could dig a hole and disappear into it.

"Brother Wyatt, well done!"

Sonny Clark laughed heartily- a face full of excitement.

Disciple Wyatt Barnes had succeeded!

He defeated one of the Five Great Young Masters, ’Young Master Blade,’ and claimed victory in the Martial Arts Tournament of the Five Great Sects!

This disciple who had always been creating miracles, had once again done the unimaginable.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Eugene Morgan watched Wyatt, a mix of relief and pride in his eyes.

He suddenly realized how wise he had been to make amends with Wyatt before things went too far...

Someone like Wyatt Barnes, a ’monster’ of greatness, should be befriended rather than antagonized.

"No...impossible...how could this be...how could this be?!"

Garrett Yellow’s face was pale, his body shivered slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief, "How could Wyatt Barnes defeat Young Master Blade...he’s only 22 years old...he’s only 22!"

Thinking back to his own power level when he was 22, which was only ’Original Pill Realm Fourth Layer’...

Garrett’s heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss.

Even if he was reluctant to admit it, compared to Wyatt, he was just ’trash’...

"As long as Wyatt Barnes exists in Seven Stars Sword Clan, there will never be a chance for me, Garrett Yellow! No...I refuse to accept this...I refuse to accept this...I am the personal disciple of the Sect Leader of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, I am the future Sect Leader!"

Garrett Yellow’s heart continued to twist in torment...

When a brighter star shines, others are overshadowed!

This was the inner portrayal of Garrett Yellow.

"Hahaha..."

Sect Leader of the Seven Stars Sword Clan ’Zeke Foxsong’ laughed wildly, his joyful laughter was genuine and hearty, and he was tremendously uplifted.

He hadn’t felt this happy in years.

Colin Clark and Iker Colby also laughed.

The three of them, their gazes converged on the young man in the distance who stood steady like a mountain...

It was this young man who had earned the ’First Place’ honor for the Seven Stars Sword Clan!

Wyatt Barnes!

Looking at the young man in front of them, they seemed to see the endless dawn of the Seven Stars Sword Clan’s future.

With him in the Seven Stars Sword Clan, what worries they have about enduring brilliance!

The now spotlighted Wyatt Barnes looked at Zeke Foxsong, nodded slightly and smiled, "Sect Leader, the ’Green Origin Fruit’ you gifted me, certainly did not go wasted."

"Wyatt Barnes, thank you."

Zeke Foxsong’s heartfelt gratitude was filled with sincerity.

He was truly grateful to Wyatt Barnes!

Today, Wyatt Barnes won the first place in the Five Sects’ Martial Arts Tournament. He not only brought long-lost glory to the Seven Stars Sword Clan, but also declared the unique status of the Seven Stars Sword Clan in the Royal Country of Green Forest.

The Seven Stars Sword Clan, forever the number one Sect!

Immediately afterwards, the host who was the Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect distributed the rewards for the top three martial artists of the tournament.

The rewards for the top three martial artists were nothing more than some ’Nurturing Infant Pills,’ with a few ’Grade Six Great Returning Pills.’

Nurturing Infant Pills, although they were valuable, served no purpose to the current Wyatt.

The purity of these Nurturing Infant Pills was too low.

It was not as pure as the Nurturing Infant Pills he refined himself with a purity of over 90%.

"The ’Grade Six Great Returning Pill’ is not bad..."

Wyatt Barnes checked the ten Grade Six Great Returning Pills he received as rewards for the first place in the martial arts tournament and nodded satisfactorily.

In the end, he took out a pill that shone with a green light and exuded an esoteric nuance from the Storage ring given by the Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect.

Suddenly.

"Mystic Infant Pill!"

The disciples of the Sects in the Martial Arts Institute stared at the pill in Wyatt’s hand with their eyes glued to it, their faces full of desire.

"Is this the so-called ’Mystic Infant Pill’ in the legends?"

"It should be. It really outclasses the ordinary ’Grade Six Pills’ by a long shot..."

"Tough luck for the Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect. This Mystic Infant Pill was originally prepared for his adopted son ’Young Master Blade,’ who would have expected it to be taken by Wyatt Barnes all of sudden."

...

The discussions among the various Sect disciples reached the Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect’s ears, causing a slight shiver passing through his body.

But he still maintained a calm smile on his face.

As the host, he could not lose his composure.

Though his heart was bleeding...

If he had known the result would end up this way, he would not have generously offered the ’Mystic Infant Pill’ as a prize for the first place in the martial arts tournament.

This Mystic Infant Pill was a medicine he had obtained for his adopted son!

"Wyatt Barnes, if he consumes the ’Mystic Infant Pill’...In half a year, he might directly break through to the ’Original Infant Realm fifth-layer’."

The Sect Leader of the Demon Lotus Blade Sect suddenly felt as if he was being used as a stepping stone for Wyatt Barnes.
