Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 896 ’The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Chapter 896: Chapter 896 ’The Boy Who Cried Wolf

David Field, after being defeated, had an extremely unpleasant look on his face.

He knew all too well what this loss meant.

In the distance, the Earth Peak Master, Frank Field, had a somewhat desolate expression as he sighed, "It seems that our ’Earth Peak’ is destined to be at the bottom this time."

Although it’s only the ’individual competition’ of the Battle of the Five Peaks taking place right now, the ’team battle’ has not yet begun.

But generally, the peak that gains an advantage in the individual competition, their performance in the team battle won’t be too far off.

David Field stepped down with a grim face.

In contrast, Joy Thomsen returned to the Water Peak Master, Rayna Yates, with a triumphant flair.

"Joy, well done."

A gentle smile appeared on Rayna Yates’ face; she was very satisfied with Joy Thomsen’s performance.

Although her initial goal was ’third place.’

But since Niklaus Woodson’s Brady Yellow revealed his astonishing strength, and considering Woodson also had Wyatt Barnes as their trump card, she didn’t dare to harbor such thoughts anymore.

Wyatt Barnes!

Rayna Yates’ gaze quickly shifted to the distant purple silhouette.

The gaze of the others also followed, landing one by one on Wyatt Barnes.

Now, it was Wyatt Barnes’ turn to issue a challenge.

Feeling the numerous gazes swiping over and locking onto him, Wyatt remained calm as he leaped into the air, swiftly reaching the empty expanse in front of him.

His eyes immediately focused on Demetrius Nangle.

"Is this Wyatt Barnes going to challenge Senior Brother Demetrius?"

Suddenly, many of the Five Elements Sect disciples, following Wyatt’s gaze, were taken aback.

They knew about the strength of Demetrius Nangle.

Even Niklaus Woodson’s Brady Yellow, who leveraged the ’Force of the Earth,’ was not his match.

"Demetrius Nangle!"

In full view of everyone, Wyatt Barnes named his challenger.

Demetrius Nangle, called out by Wyatt Barnes, seemed unsurprised as he leaped up and confronted Wyatt.

"He really is challenging Senior Brother Demetrius!"

"He’s Woodson’s trump card; does he really have some sort of method up his sleeve?"

"Woodson’s Peak Master, Callen Spacewood, got numbers 5 and 6. Since he let Brady Yellow go first, it seems he considers Wyatt Barnes as the strongest trump card of Woodson."

"This Wyatt Barnes must have some abilities... Just that, defeating Senior Brother Demetrius is not an easy task."

...

One after another, the eyes of the Five Elements Sect disciples fell on Wyatt Barnes.

They were deeply curious about this ’trump card’ of Woodson from the bottom of their hearts.

"Although Jaxx said I’m not your match... I still want to try," said Demetrius Nangle, standing opposed to Wyatt, his words causing everyone but the likes of Five Elements Sect Leader Grini Clifford, Jaxx Nangle, and a few people from Woodson to become stunned.

"Did... did Senior Brother Jaxx say that Senior Brother Demetrius is not Wyatt Barnes’ match?"

"How is that possible?!"

...

Many disciples of the Five Elements Sect found it unbelievable.

"This Wyatt Barnes looks much younger than Senior Brother Demetrius... Can he really defeat Senior Brother Demetrius?"

Many disciples of the Five Elements Sect expressed their doubts.

"Please."

Hearing Demetrius Nangle’s words, Wyatt’s expression remained unchanged as he nodded slightly.

At this, Demetrius Nangle smiled back in response, but then his expression tightened.

The next moment, he advanced as if stepping on air, and as he did so, his Origin Force surged and then burst out as streams of water-blue energy.

Wrapped in the water-blue energy, he seemed to transform into an oceanic behemoth, rushing towards Wyatt with a ferocious momentum.

Above the Void Realm, the spectral echoes of one hundred and ninety ancient Horned Dragons emerged, their presence overwhelming.

Illusion!

Faced with the fierce onslaught from Demetrius Nangle, Wyatt did not dare to be negligent; a glint flashed in his eyes as he immediately activated his strongest technique, the Soul Technique.

An ’Illusory Realm Space’ swiftly came into existence, enveloping the area extending beyond a hundred meters.

"Here it comes!"

The Earth Peak Master, Frank Field, focused his gaze as if he’d anticipated this scene all along.

Boom!

As Demetrius Nangle approached Wyatt, a punch imbued with a vast water-blue energy burst forth like an oceanic behemoth extending its massive claw towards Wyatt.

Under the public’s watchful eyes, Wyatt seemed to be foreknowing without falling. Without displaying exceptional speed, he casually sidestepped, evading Demetrius Nangle’s attack.

This scene appeared as though it had been prearranged with Demetrius Nangle.

Only those who knew the details about Wyatt understood that all this was manipulated by Wyatt’s ’Illusion.’

"Wyatt has already sidestepped; why does Senior Brother Demetrius still forge ahead, swinging at thin air?"

"Why does this scene feel so familiar?"

"Before the Battle of the Five Peaks began, when Flame Peak’s Senior Brother Tatum Cruz attacked Wyatt Barnes, didn’t a similar scenario occur?"

"Isn’t that ’external force’?"

...

Many people felt that the scene before their eyes was very familiar, just like when Tatum Cruz made his move against Wyatt Barnes and missed with his first attack, then did not pursue any further.

"It’s an external force!"

Facing the scene, the now-awakened ’Tatum Cruz’, with the help of Teawhite, the Flame Peak Master, his expression changed.

Upon hearing this, Teawhite’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Then, looking at Grini Clifford, he loudly exclaimed, "Sect Leader, this Wyatt Barnes has used an external force... According to the rules of the ’Battle of the Five Peaks’ of our Five Elements Sect, he should be disqualified from continuing in the Battle of the Five Peaks!"

As soon as Teawhite spoke out, he attracted the attention of many disciples from the Five Elements Sect.

"It seems that my eyesight is still quite good, able to discern that Wyatt Barnes used ’external force’."

"Pah! Wasn’t it me who reminded you?"

...

The venue completely erupted into excitement, many believing that Wyatt Barnes would be disqualified.

At this time, Wyatt Barnes had just crossed paths with Demetrius Nangle.

He nearly brushed past the rolling aqueous blue force exuding from Demetrius Nangle, and a portion of the gentle yet vast aqueous blue force ruthlessly infiltrated his body.

It was precisely the residual force from Demetrius Nangle’s powerful blow that Wyatt Barnes took advantage of.

As for the purpose of utilizing it, it was naturally the same as during the time at the ’Assembly of the Ten Dynasties’ when he used Jaxxon Spacewood’s strength to stimulate the potent medicinal power of the ’Nirvana Pill’ and forcibly break through.

This time, Wyatt Barnes intended to replicate the old trick, using the Demetrius Nangle’s force to help himself achieve a breakthrough.

Of course, with his current strength, he did not dare to confront Demetrius Nangle directly.

Otherwise, with the power of Demetrius Nangle comparable to that of one hundred and ninety ancient Horned Dragons, it would be effortless for him to severely injure Wyatt, let alone use Demetrius’s power to achieve a breakthrough.

Even if he gave it his all and employed three other lower-level realms without the use of spiritual weapons, his strength would only be on par with that of one hundred and thirty ancient Horned Dragons.

Compared to the strength of Demetrius Nangle, it was completely not on the same level.

Therefore, he could only rely on his wits.

He dodged Demetrius Nangle’s central force of the attack, instead brushing past it, allowing the residual force of Demetrius’s attack to invade his body, aiding him in his breakthrough.

At this point, he was only one step away from breaking through to the ’Seventh-Order Cave Void Realm’!

Once his cultivation reached the ’Seventh-Order Cave Void Realm’, his spiritual strength would consequently rise to the ’Level Eight Void Realm’.

By then, defeating Jaxx Nangle would not be difficult.

Because Jaxx Nangle was an Inscription Master and their spiritual strength levels were both at the ’Seventh-Order Cave Void Realm’, his Soul Techniques would have no effect on Jaxx.

However, if his spiritual strength could ascend to the ’Level Eight Void Realm’, even if Jaxx Nangle was an Inscription Master, he would not be able to shake Wyatt’s spiritual strength nor disrupt the ’Illusionary Space’ constructed with his Soul Technique.

Once Demetrius Nangle fell into his ’Illusionary Space’, he was destined to become fish on the chopping block.

However, imagination is beautiful, while reality is cruel.

No matter how Wyatt Barnes took advantage of Demetrius Nangle’s power, until his meridians were on the verge of collapse, the medicinal power of the ’Nirvana Pill’ remained indifferent.

"It seems that because I used the same method to stimulate the ’Nirvana Pill’s potent medicinal power last time... this time, it has adapted and no longer senses any crisis," Wyatt Barnes bitterly smiled.

This was just like the story of ’crying wolf’.

Once or twice, you can deceive people.

But the third time, no one will be fooled again.

"Sect Leader, by relying on external force, Wyatt Barnes from Niklaus Woodson... I, Teawhite, the Master of Flame Peak, request that his qualification to continue participating in the ’Battle of the Five Peaks’ be immediately revoked!"

Seeing Grini Clifford unmoved, Teawhite, the Flame Peak Master, raised his voice once more.

As he spoke, seeing that Grini Clifford had no reaction, Teawhite inevitably felt a bit indignant, "You... you can’t cover up for him!"

Whoosh!

Upon Teawhite’s proclamation, the whole place burst into an uproar.

Most people’s gaze settled on Teawhite.

Teawhite, the Master of Flame Peak, openly questioning whether their Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect was shielding a disciple of the Wood Peak.

Finally, Grini Clifford reacted, sweeping Teawhite with an indifferent glance, "Peak Master Teawhite, Wyatt Barnes has not relied on any external force... If you question my words, you can ask Frank Field, the Peak Master, whether what I said is true... He is an ’Inscription Master’, and can definitely confirm whether Wyatt Barnes has used external force."

As Grini Clifford finished speaking, impatience crept into his tone.

Before Teawhite could ask Frank Field, Frank Field himself spoke, "The Sect Leader is right, Wyatt Barnes has not used external force... Right now, he is using his own spiritual strength to execute a technique similar to a ’Soul Technique’, constructing an ’illusionary realm’ that can influence Demetrius Nangle."

In fact, even if Frank Field had not said anything, Teawhite had realized that what Grini Clifford said was probably true.

After all, Grini Clifford had no reason to help Wyatt Barnes.

Now, Wyatt Barnes was battling with Grini Clifford’s own disciple, Demetrius Nangle. If Wyatt Barnes won, only Grini Clifford, the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect who personally oversaw the Gold Peak, would suffer.

"Soul Technique?"

As soon as Frank Field’s words fell, there was a commotion around.

"Isn’t that a technique that special Demon Beasts can execute?"

"Human martial artists, unless they are Martial Emperor powerhouses... otherwise, it’s impossible to use mental power to combat an enemy."

"Could it be that Wyatt Barnes is an ’Odd Species’?"

...

Many disciples of the Five Elements Sect were discussing animatedly, thoroughly heated up.

"Wyatt Barnes is not an ’Odd Species’!"

Seeing a group of disciples from the Five Elements Sect speculating that Wyatt Barnes was an ’Odd Species’, Frank Field continued to speak, "In my estimation... Wyatt Barnes must be unique, wielding a one-of-a-kind ’Divine Ability’!"

Divine Ability!

With Frank Field’s proclamation, complete silence fell over the crowd.

"Divine Ability? Unique?"

Teawhite’s pupils shrank, his face turning somber.
