Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 41 Maya Lee

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Maya Lee

In a corner of the Martial Arts Performance Field.

Wyatt Barnes moved like a nimble snake, his body constantly transforming...

Seemingly slow, but in fact, as swift as the wind.

"At most half a month, but no less than ten days, and I should be able to break through to the minor accomplishment realm."

With a jolt of his body, Wyatt Barnes stood firm once again, a faint smile surfacing at the corner of his mouth.

Based on the memories of the Martial Emperor, Wyatt Barnes knew that his Spiritual Snake Body Method was now in the Beginner’s Realm, on the verge of entering the minor accomplishment realm.

Once the Spiritual Snake Body Method entered the minor accomplishment realm, his speed would have a qualitative boost...

As a profound level high rank body technique, even in the minor accomplishment realm, the Spiritual Snake Body Method was better than the profound level mid rank body technique in the major accomplishment realm or the profound level lower rank body technique in the complete realm.

Everything depends on perseverance, not something that can be achieved overnight, so Wyatt Barnes promptly stopped his practice.

He planned to go back and absorb Body Tempering Fluid to cultivate in order to advance to the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm as soon as possible.

As he understood it, the family martial arts competition, held once a year, was just two months away.

To become a disciple of the Inner Courtyard, he must show strength beyond most of his peers at the family martial arts competition.

In Wyatt Barnes’s chosen corner of the Martial Arts Performance Field, there were few people to be seen.

As he came out and stood in the middle of the Martial Arts Performance Field, he noticed a group of people scattered around, gathered to watch something.

Feeling curious, he joined them.

In the crowd, a slender, beautiful figure was performing exceptional swordsmanship with the three-foot-long blade in her hand.

This was a beautiful girl, about seventeen years old, with a moon-like face.

She was the most outstanding beauty he’d seen since coming to this world, apart from Keer and his mother, Christina Lee.

The girl’s long soft hair moved gently as she did.

Under the scorching sun, the three-foot-long blade in her hand shimmered with a dazzling luster.

Suddenly, the phantom of a giant ancient elephant appeared above her head.

Whoosh!

With the drawing of the sword, a series of afterimages flashed.

Three leaves falling from a tree at the side were all split in half and fell to the ground.

With beads of sweat gathering, the young girl sheathed her sword.

Clapping sounds...

Immediately, there were applause and cheers all around.

"Sister Maya is truly deserving as one of the top three in the Outer Courtyard, her proficiency in the Shadow Staying Sword Technique is truly impressive."

"Exactly, to split three falling leaves that are not on the same line with one sword, I’m afraid only Sister Maya in the Outer Courtyard can do this."

"At seventeen, she has reached the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm, accomplished the profound level lower rank Shadow Staying Sword Technique, Sister Maya is second to none among the young women of our Lee family."

...

Amid the applause and discussion, Wyatt Barnes stood silently and listened.

Top three in the Outer Courtyard?

Sister Maya?

"Could it be, she’s Maya Lee?"

Wyatt Barnes recalled, a few days ago, he had overheard Ayan Lee and Azael Lee mention a woman named "Maya Lee" while purchasing medicinal materials from a pharmacy at the market.

Upon seeing her today, her reputation was not exaggerated!

Beauty, only matched by Keer...

"Sister Maya, here’s a towel to wipe your sweat."

A girl smiled and handed Maya Lee a towel.

After wiping away the sweat from her forehead, Maya Lee noticed something. There was a person in the crowd whose gaze was entirely different from the others.

In the eyes of the crowd, her swordsmanship was amazing.

And yet, that individual seemed unimpressed.

She felt a bit disappointed and spurred on by his indifference.

"Do you think my swordsmanship is mundane?"

Within the gaze of the spectators, Maya Lee approached the young man, questioning him with a tint of assertiveness in her voice.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was on the young man.

"Oh, isn’t that Wyatt Barnes?"

"Wyatt Barnes? The one who, a few days ago, defeated a Lee family child with his master level Tiger Roaring Fist?"

"Yes, it’s him! I was there at that time."

"He seems to be only sixteen."

"Huh, the girl who usually shadows him is not there, I heard she’s even more beautiful than Sister Maya."

...

Surprised by the commentary surrounding her, Maya Lee was taken aback.

She had heard about what happened a few days ago.

"Your sword technique... It’s quite decent, but it might be stronger if it was less flashy."

Wyatt Barnes, the centre of everyone’s attention, responded nonchalantly.

"Flashy?"

The crowd laughed aloud.

"This Wyatt Barnes, he can’t be thinking that just because he’s good at the Tiger Roaring Fist, he can instruct Sister Maya on her sword technique, can he?"

"An outsider, dare to talk nonsense!"

"Sister Maya’s skill level at Shadow Staying Sword might be similar to his Tiger Roaring Fist, but Sister Maya’s cultivation is a level higher than him, plus the sword in Sister Maya’s hand, she can easily defeat him."

...

A group of people came to Maya Lee’s defence.

"I heard you’re good at Tiger Roaring Fist, but can you use a sword?"

Maya Lee shot a meaningful glance at Wyatt Barnes.

Wyatt Barnes hadn’t expected that his honest words would stir up everyone’s anger.

He sighed inwardly.

Sometimes, it’s hard to be a straightforward person...

"Sword!"

Stepping forward, Wyatt Barnes extended his hand before Maya Lee.

Maya Lee quickly understood, handed him the sword, and looked surprised, as she guessed Wyatt’s intention.

"This Wyatt Barnes, does he want to act like he knows it all?"

"He’s simply courting death!"

Many people looked disdainful at the scene.

Wyatt Barnes didn’t let it get to him, facts would speak for themselves.

In the next moment, Wyatt Barnes replaced Maya Lee, stood in the center of the crowd, and held the three-foot-long blade in his hand.

The wind blew, causing the leaves on the the trees to wither and fall.

Whoosh!

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wyatt Barnes drew his sword.

However, everyone present, including Maya Lee, saw nothing but a fleeting flash of light.

From start to finish, they couldn’t make out how Wyatt Barnes had unsheathed his sword.

"He drew his sword?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Look over there!"

Someone seemed to have discovered something.

More people followed his gaze.

They saw a series of leaves, about a dozen or so, that had just fallen, now torn in half and drifting to the ground.

Hiss!

The people present couldn’t help but gasp.

Only after Wyatt Barnes had sheathed his sword and left did Maya Lee come to her senses.

Staring at his proud figure in the distance, Maya Lee felt a sense of defeat for the first time. The honor of being in the top three of the outer court seemed so ironic.

From the day she started practicing, she always used a sword.

She had a perception of swordplay far beyond that of the average person.

She knew in her heart that if she really faced Wyatt Barnes head-on, even if his martial cultivation was a level lower than hers, he could easily defeat her, even kill her, with just that one stroke of his blade.

"Wyatt Barnes, I will remember you," Maya Lee murmured in her heart.

To Wyatt Barnes, what had just happened was merely a casual move, not worth mentioning.

However, using Maya Lee’s Profound Level low-tier Shadow Staying Sword Technique as a reference, and synthesizing the memory of the Martial Emperor’s reincarnation...

Wyatt Barnes came to a conclusion.

The sword drawing technique he mastered, when used with full force, had a power equivalent to a middle-tier Profound Level technique at the mastery realm, or a high-tier Profound Level technique at the grand completion realm.

If it came as a surprise...

It could even reach the effect of a high-tier Profound Level technique at the mastery realm.

"Hm?"

Wyatt Barnes suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw two figures standing on the way home, as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.

Azael Lee and Ayan Lee.

Wyatt Barnes swept a casual glance over the two and intended to bypass them.

Who knew that the two would threaten him, blocking Wyatt Barnes again.

"What do you want?"

A trace of cold light flashed in Wyatt’s eyes.

He didn’t want to cause trouble, but that didn’t mean he was afraid of it.

"Wyatt Barnes, hand over all the bank checks you have on you!"

Ayan Lee smirked.

With Azael Lee, one of the top three in the outer courtyard backing him, he was very confident.

If he knew that Wyatt Barnes had just displayed a marvelous sword technique in the Martial Arts Performance Field, making even Maya Lee, one of the top three of the outer court, admire and feel inferior to him, he probably wouldn’t have thought so.

Things in life are indeed wonderful.

"You want my bank checks?"

Wyatt Barnes laughed, patting his ’sturdy’ chest, "I did bring quite a few bank checks, but why should I give them to you?"

"Why?"

Ayan Lee sneered, "If you don’t want to suffer, hand over all your bank checks. And also, have that Keer by your side treat Azael well from now on."

"Shut up!"

With a raise of Wyatt Barnes’ sword-like brows, his face became filled with a horrifying and overbearing aura. A terrifying killing intent was immediately unleashed upon Ayan Lee.

Keer was his bottom line!

Ayan Lee’s face changed dramatically, and his legs began to tremble.

The killing intent of Asura caused his psychological defenses to completely collapse.

"Hmph!"

With a snort, Wyatt Barnes strode away.

Had it been another place, he would have disabled this Ayan Lee long ago, if not killed him.

However, this was the Lee Family in Aurora City. If he disabled or killed Ayan Lee, even if the Lee Family didn’t intervene, Ayan Lee’s elders would not let the matter rest.

Ayan Lee was, after all, a member of the main family, his roots ran deep.

Wyatt had to be cautious.

"Brother Azael, why didn’t you stop him?"

Ayan Lee took a deep breath, looking at Azael Lee who was watching Wyatt Barnes leave, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It seems I have underestimated this Wyatt Barnes. He’s not simple."

Azael Lee’s face was solemn.

Just now, while Wyatt Barnes’ killing intent was directed at Ayan Lee, he too was slightly affected and was greatly shocked.

"Are we just going to let this go?"

Ayan Lee was discontented.

"Once I step into the small completion realm of the Golden Bell Shield, we will confront him again. For some reason, I don’t feel too confident right now."

Taking a deep breath, Azael Lee slowly spoke.

"What?!"

Ayan Lee’s face expressed disbelief.

He didn’t expect that just a mere collateral family member, an affiliate, could actually make Azael Lee, someone whose strength could rank in the top three of the outer courtyard, to be cautious.

"Brother Azael, should I ask my elder brother to make a move?"

Ayan Lee hesitated for a moment before asking.

"What, you want to let your elder brother take a piece of the pie? As far as I know, although you two are brothers by blood, your relationship is not harmonious. Your elder brother has not been stingy with calling you ’useless’ behind your back. If he gets involved, I’m afraid we won’t get anything in the end. All benefits would be for him."

Azael Lee’s eyes flickered as he slowly spoke.

Ayan Lee’s face darkened.

That was a possibility.

No one knew his brother better than he did - domineering and fearless!

"Alright, then let’s wait until you step into the minor completion realm with your Golden Bell Shield. Humph! Let’s let this Wyatt Barnes be complacent for a few more days."

Ayan Lee made up his mind quickly.
