Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 445: The Strength of Mr. Zither

Chapter 445: Chapter 445: The Strength of Mr. Zither

On the Life and Death Stage, a solitary figure stood with an air of proud indifference, as if transformed into a statue.

Time quietly swept by.

Gradually, the surroundings of the Life and Death Stage filled with some Seven Star Sword Sect disciples, who seemed to be growing impatient.

"Where is Wyatt Barnes? Why hasn’t he showed up yet?"

"Apparently, he personally agreed to this ’two-year promise’ two years ago, he couldn’t possibly have gotten scared now, could he?"

"It’s possible. Two years ago, Mr.Zither was already an Original Infant Realm Seventh-Order martial artist... With Mr.Zither’s talent, advancing to the ’Original Infant Realm Ninth-Order’, would not surprise me in the least."

"The Original Infant Realm Ninth Order... Wyatt Barnes, who was merely Original Infant Realm Fourth Order one year ago, probably can’t compete with Mr.Zither in just one year."

"Yes, perhaps in a few years he could surpass Mr. Zither, but right now it seems unlikely."

...

These Seven Star Sword Sect disciples did not have much faith in Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, there were also many Seven Star Sword Sect disciples who held an unshakeable belief in Wyatt Barnes.

"Hmph! Brother Barnes will definitely come."

"That’s right! Brother Barnes won’t just show up, he will also create another miracle and defeat Mr.Zither ’Marshall Tyler’, making a name for himself throughout the Royal Country of the Green Forest!"

"Mr.Zither will serve as nothing more than a stepping stone for brother Barnes!"

"Brother Barnes is the creator of miracles, I trust him."

...

These Seven Star Sword Sect disciples were mostly outer disciples from the Heavenly Authority Peak.

They had witnessed Wyatt Barnes’s rise firsthand.

In their eyes, Wyatt Barnes was the legend of the Heavenly Authority Peak, the legend of the Seven Star Sword Sect, a legend deeply revered in their hearts.

"Hmph!"

All of a sudden, the haughty young man standing on the Life and Death Stage let out a snort, "Wyatt Barnes, the Seven Star Sword Sect’s number one genius... Are you too scared to show up? Sect Leader Foxsong, it seems like your star disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect is merely a paper tiger!"

As he finished, the haughty young man scanned the crowd, his gaze falling on a few high-ranking Seven Star Sword Sect leaders floating mid-air, particularly the man at the forefront.

Zeke Foxsong!

The Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sword Sect.

"Please be patient, Mr.Zither."

Sect Leader Foxsong responded with a faint smile, a look of nonchalance on his face, "I understand Wyatt Barnes. Since he agreed to your ’two-year promise’, he certainly won’t break his word."

"I hope so."

The haughty young man, one of the five princes of the Royal Country of the Green Forest, ’Marshall Tyler’, replied indifferently.

A moment later.

"It’s Wyatt Barnes!"

"Wyatt Barnes is here!"

"It’s really Brother Wyatt! I knew Brother Wyatt would never be afraid of Mr.Zither."

...

Atop the Heavenly Pivot Peak, there was a flurry of commotion.

The surging crowd quickly parted, making way for a path - a path leading to the Life and Death Stage.

At the end of this path, two young men walked side by side.

It was Wyatt Barnes and Jadey Inky.

"It’s quite an event."

Seeing almost all the disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect gathered together, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but comment.

The gathering of the Seven Star Sword Sect disciples here was undoubtedly to witness who among him and Mr.Zither ’Marshall Tyler’ was stronger based on their ’two-year promise’.

Respect filled the faces of each Seven Star Sword Sect disciple as Wyatt Barnes passed by.

"After a whole year, the demeanor of Brother Wyatt seems to have changed."

"That’s right, Brother Wyatt has matured. His strength must have increased as well."

...

Quite a few Seven Star Sword Sect disciples whispered amongst themselves.

"The person next to Brother Wyatt...isn’t that our sect leader’s newest personally-taught disciple?"

"That’s right, he is the sect leader’s newly admitted disciple, chosen after his previous personally-taught disciple ’Garrett Yellow’ betrayed him."

"Hmph! That Garrett Yellow, a thankless wretch! Our sect leader expended a large amount of cultivation resources from the Seven Star Sword Sect to nurture him, but in the end received only betrayal."

...

Many Seven Star Sword Sect disciples’ gazes fell upon Jadey Inky. Amid the discussion, numerous people were filled with righteous indignation.

They despised ’Garrett Yellow’ for betraying the Seven Star Sword Sect.

Soon, Wyatt Barnes and Jadey Inky arrived near the Life and Death Stage.

Around the Life and Death Stage, Wyatt Barnes saw many familiar faces.

The ones who had become inner sect disciples with him, ’Eastern Ho’, ’Chloe Taylor’, the son of the Sun Peak’s Peak Master, ’Sonny Clark’, and ’Spring Montes’, whom he had met at the Heavenly Authority Peak.

Seeing these familiar faces, Wyatt Barnes smiled and nodded at them.

After they returned his smile, Wyatt Barnes exerted force into his stride and gracefully leapt onto the ’Life and Death Stage’.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze converged on the two men on the Life and Death Stage.

Wyatt Barnes, their Seven Star Sword Sect’s once-in- a-lifetime genius, defeated one of the top five princes, Young Master Blade, at a young age, reclaiming the long-lost ’Martial Arts First’ honor for the Seven Star Sword Sect.

Mr. Zither, ranked third among the young talents in the five princes of the Royal Country of the Green Forest, was already an ’Original Infant Realm Seventh-Order’ two years ago.

The showdown between these two was undoubtedly a match of the ages.

They were all looking forward to it.

"Wyatt Barnes, you finally arrived! I thought you wouldn’t dare to show up."

Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes ascend the Life and Death Stage, Mr.Zither ’Marshall Tyler’s’ eyes coldened, he spoke in a frosty tone.

However, Wyatt Barnes seemed to completely ignore Mr.Zither as if he hadn’t heard him at all.

"Sect Leader, respected Peak Masters, respected elders."

Wyatt Barnes greeted Sect Leader Zeke Foxsong and others with a smile, who were standing in the open.

Except for Woody Dunn, all the high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan including Zeke Foxsong, nodded back to Wyatt Barnes with a smile.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Woody Dunn stared at Wyatt Barnes, with a deadly murderous intent in his eyes.

The malicious intent given off by Dunn was indeed well-concealed, so much so that even Zeke Foxsong and the other high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan had failed to detect it, yet Wyatt Barnes felt it clearly.

"This Woody Dunn’s intent to kill me seems to have intensified again. He said his son dissipated his cultivation for the fictitious Ching Washes the Marrow Sutra I created... Could it be that his son saw the ’twenty-four words’ I added casually and castrated himself?"

Wyatt Barnes glanced at Woody Dunn, his eyes were steeped in a look of peculiarity.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Master Zither, enraged by Wyatt’s ignored response, waved his hand, and a ’Spiritual Zither’ appeared out of thin air, this Spiritual Zither was his go-to.

Zither’s spiritual zither was a fifth-grade spirit tool...

A fifth-grade spiritual zither.

"Master Zither, don’t worry."

Just as Master Zither was about to perform his attack by playing his zither, Sect Leader Foxsong opened his mouth to speak, "Today, both you and Wyatt will duel, it is my hope that you will know when to stop so as not to disrupt the harmony! What do you think of this, Master Zither?"

"Hmph!"

Master Zither stared at Wyatt Barnes, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "Sect Leader Foxsong, you got it wrong! If we’re not allowed a full-on brawl and can only spar, then what is the point of this ’two-year agreement’ between Wyatt Barnes and I? Or is it that this Wyatt Barnes is afraid of death and wants you, Sect Leader Foxsong, to intervene in our ’two-year agreement’?"

In his sentence, Zither fit Wyatt Barnes with a cap labeled ’afraid of death’.

Sect Leader Foxsong frowned.

The remaining high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan also couldn’t help but furrow their brows.

Wyatt Barnes, with his extraordinary talent is the future hope of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

If possible, they wouldn’t let Wyatt Barnes to risk his life.

Just as Sect Leader Foxsong was about to speak again.

"Master Zither, since you want to go all out, let’s go all out... I, Wyatt Barnes, have nothing to fear!"

Wyatt Barnes spoke confidently, standing there, his momentum like that of a fearless God of War.

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes, the high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan, except for Woody Dunn’s smug face, the rest all changed their expressions.

"Wyatt Barnes, don’t be impulsive!"

"You are only at the sixth stage of the Original Infant Realm, at this moment there’s no way you can beat Master Zither... As long as the green hills remain, there’ll be wood for the fire!"

"Wyatt Barnes, even if you lose today, you will wipe this shame away in a few years."

...

The urgent pleas coated with Origin Force entered Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

These pleas coated with Origin Force came from a few high-ranking officials and disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

Wyatt Barnes felt a sense of warmth.

Sect!

This was his sect...

Wyatt Barnes’ sect!!

For the first time, Wyatt Barnes felt a strong sense of belonging towards the Seven Stars Sword Clan.

"Haha... Good!"

Upon seeing Wyatt Barnes agree, Marshall Tyler laughed heartily, "Wyatt Barnes, I’ve heard that you defeated the Young Master Blade ’Kase Dragonsmith’ of the Demon Lotus Blade Clan a year ago... I have to admit, when I heard this news, I was very surprised."

"It’s been a year since our first meeting, and you’ve managed to break through to the ’fourth stage of the Original Infant Realm’! I have to admit, your talent is remarkable. Unfortunately, a year has passed and you haven’t even stepped into the ’seventh stage of the Original Infant Realm’, right?"

In the end, Marshall Tyler had a triumphant gleam in his eyes, "Did I guess correctly?"

"So what if I haven’t stepped in?"

Wyatt Barnes countered, remaining as impassive as ever.

"You haven’t entered the ’seventh stage of the Original Infant Realm’?"

Many of the high-ranking members and disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan broke out in a cold sweat for Wyatt Barnes.

Many of them prayed for Zither to remain at the seventh stage of the Original Infant Realm just like two years ago.

But was that even possible?

"You’re very arrogant, truly arrogant..."

Master Zither waved his large sleeve, laughed heartily and his laughter was full of recklessness, "Unfortunately, you don’t have the capital to ’brag’ in front of me! Today, I will show you my progress over the past two years... I believe, to you, it will be a surprise!"

As Master Zither’s audacious words echoed, all eyes turned to him.

Whoosh!

Master Zither’s Origin Force roared, causing the heavenly forces in the void above his head to fluctuate. Eventually, they came together and gradually condensed into a number of ancient elephant shadows...

One thousand.

Eleven hundred.

Twelve hundred.

And still rising!

Thirteen hundred.

...

Fifteen hundred!

Master Zither, without employing the amplifying power of the fifth-grade spiritual zither he had, summoned the heavenly forces with his raw power causing them to condense into ghostly visages of 1500 ancient elephants.

"Half-Void Realm!"

"My heavens! In just two years, this Master Zither had broken through to the ’Half-Void Realm’!"

...

The disciples of the Seven Stars Sword Clan were astounded one after another.

The high-ranking members of the Seven Stars Sword Clan were also changing their expressions.
