Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 897: Crazy Idea

Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Crazy Idea

Standing next to Teawhite, Tatum Cruz’s face turned gloomy.

No matter whether it was "Odd Species" or "Divine Ability," he had heard of them and knew what these two terms meant.

"This Wyatt Barnes... is actually an ’Odd Species’?!"

Tatum Cruz’s eyes flickered with a cold light as he stared intently at Wyatt Barnes, "So it was him who toyed with me in front of everyone from the start, making me lose face before them all!"

Tatum Cruz was furious to the extreme, wishing he could shatter Wyatt Barnes into a thousand pieces and scatter his ashes to the wind!

But he also knew that Wyatt Barnes’s "Divine Ability" was not something he could contend with.

"Wyatt Barnes, you’re only from a good background... If you weren’t an Odd Species, if you didn’t possess Divine Abilities, in front of me, you would be nothing but an ant!"

Tatum Cruz roared inwardly, filled with anger and a trace of jealousy.

The jealousy towards Wyatt Barnes as an "Odd Species."

An Odd Species with "Divine Abilities" on the Cloud Skies Continent were also called the favorites of the heavens.

Their talents and means were enough to make anyone envious and resentful.

"Odd Species!"

Many of the Five Elements Sect disciples who had heard of "Odd Species" turned their gazes toward Wyatt Barnes, filled with fervor.

Those who initially did not know what "Odd Species" meant, after hearing explanations from those around them, also looked at Wyatt Barnes with eyes shining as if they had seen something rare and exotic.

Of course, there were also quite a few who remained composed.

Such as the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, ’Grini Clifford’, and his direct disciple, ’Jaxx Nangle’.

In addition, from the Peak Master of Wood Peak, ’Callen Spacewood’, and below, all of the people from Niklaus Woodson maintained calm expressions without any particular change in color.

"It seems that Callen Spacewood already knew Wyatt Barnes was an ’Odd Species’."

Rayna Yates’s eyes flashed with apprehension.

Now, she finally understood why Wyatt Barnes was considered a ’Trump Card’ by Niklaus Woodson.

It turned out that Wyatt Barnes was not purely human, with half of his blood being that of a ’demon’.

He was an Odd Species, existing between ’human’ and ’demon’.

Odd Species are of two kinds.

One, extraordinarily mediocre.

Two, blessed with exceptional talent.

Wyatt Barnes was clearly the latter.

"It should end now."

After trying for a long time and realizing that Demetrius Nangle’s strength couldn’t help him break through, Wyatt Barnes sighed and casually flashed behind Demetrius Nangle, swinging a punch out.

Boom!

Demetrius Nangle was sent flying by his punch, like an arrow swiftly released from a bow, only stopping when he reached a distance.

A bright trail of fresh blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems, I have still lost."

Though he was within a ’phantom space’ constructed by Wyatt Barnes’s mental power, Demetrius Nangle made no further moves, standing there with a wry smile on his face.

Clearly, he had conceded defeat.

Seeing this, Wyatt Barnes hastily withdrew his Soul Technique ’Phantom Thousand,’ and the phantom space shattered, then completely vanished without a trace.

This outcome did not surprise the onlookers.

Because they already knew Wyatt Barnes was an "Odd Species," he could not be judged by normal standards.

"Senior Brother Demetrius has ultimately been defeated."

"There’s nothing we can do... facing someone like Wyatt Barnes, an ’Odd Species’, it’d be hard for Senior Brother Demetrius not to lose."

"Hmph! If Wyatt Barnes didn’t use that so-called ’Divine Ability,’ he certainly wouldn’t be a match for Senior Brother Demetrius."

"Divine Abilities are inherently a part of Wyatt Barnes’s means; why shouldn’t he use them? Your words are rather biased."

...

The onlooking disciples of the Five Elements Sect sighed.

Many felt indignant for Demetrius Nangle, thinking Wyatt Barnes’s victory was somewhat undeserved.

There were also plenty who supported Wyatt Barnes.

After all, that was the "Divine Ability" that Wyatt Barnes, as an Odd Species, possessed; no one had the right to restrict his use of it.

No matter how it’s said, Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Ability was not considered ’external power.’

Therefore, his defeat of Demetrius Nangle did not violate the rules of the Battle of the Five Peaks.

After defeating Demetrius Nangle, Wyatt Barnes temporarily ranked ’first’ in the Battle of the Five Peaks.

Demetrius Nangle was second place for the time being.

Jaxx Nangle was third place temporarily.

...

And so on down the line.

The rest of the competitors each fell back one rank accordingly.

"Does anyone have any objections to the current rankings? If there are any objections, you may issue a challenge to the person ahead of you. If the challenge is successful, you may take their place," said the Sect Leader of the Five Elements Sect, ’Grini Clifford’, at this point.

Hearing Grini Clifford’s words, many people sighed, "Looks like... today’s ’first place’ in the individual battle of the Battle of the Five Peaks is destined to go to Wyatt Barnes of Niklaus Woodson."

"Not only the individual battle... Considering Wyatt Barnes’s inscrutable ’Divine Abilities,’ even the first place in the team battle is likely to go to Niklaus Woodson."

"Yes, indeed. Whether it’s Senior Brother Demetrius or Tatum Cruz, they are both at the Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm... They were unable to withstand Wyatt Barnes’s Divine Abilities, and Senior Brother Jaxx, being also at the Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm, probably won’t stand a chance either."

"This time, Niklaus Woodson will stand out! In the history of our Five Elements Sect, the ’first place’ in the Battle of the Five Peaks has never been taken by any Peak other than Gold Peak."

"This time, Niklaus Woodson is going to create a myth! The one to create this myth is Niklaus Woodson’s ’Wyatt Barnes’!"

...

The disciples of Niklaus Woodson were beaming with excitement, while disciples from the other four Peaks sighed.

The outcome of today was beyond their expectation.

Whew!

However, as a gust of wind howled through, the chatter of the disciples from the Five Elements Sect abruptly ceased.

"Senior Brother Jaxx!"

Gazing at the blue figure that soared into the sky and stood in mid-air, many disciples from the Five Elements Sect couldn’t help but shrink their pupils.

"Senior Brother Jaxx, currently ranked ’third’ in the Battle of the Five Peaks... since he conceded in front of Senior Brother Demetrius from the very beginning, he cannot challenge Senior Brother Demetrius."

"His target is Wyatt Barnes?!"

"That’s the only possibility."

"But Wyatt Barnes is an odd species with a ’divinely gifted ability’, even Senior Brother Demetrius was defeated by him, likely, Senior Brother Jaxx is not his match, right?"

"I don’t know."

...

For a moment, many disciples from the Five Elements Sect looked at Jaxx Nangle with confusion.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

Jaxx Nangle rarely spoke, his voice clear and cold.

When challenged by Jaxx Nangle, Wyatt Barnes was not surprised; he narrowed his eyes and sprang into action.

Although he knew that Jaxx Nangle’s mental strength was enough to nullify his Soul Technique ’Thousand Illusions,’ he still did not concede because a new idea had bloomed in his mind.

If the opponent’s Origin Force floods into his body, the effect of the ’Nirvana Pill’ remains completely unresponsive.

All this was because the ’Nirvana Pill’ had previously encountered a similar situation, so it had a certain ’immunity’.

But what about mental strength?

What if he were to draw Jaxx Nangle’s mental strength into his soul, causing his own spirit to tense up and create a different sense of crisis?

At that time, would the ’Nirvana Pill’s’ medicinal power still stand idly by?

This was Wyatt Barnes’s current thought.

It has to be said, Wyatt Barnes’s idea was insane, the slightest mishap and his soul could be damaged, possibly leading to collapse and endangering his life.

Fortune favors the bold!

As Wyatt Barnes stood face to face with Jaxx Nangle, his gaze was steely, and he made up his mind secretly.

As long as he could force the ’Nirvana Pill’ to act again, it would be an easy task for his cultivation to break through to the ’Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm,’ which could be achieved in an instant.

In the distance, Sect Leader Grini Clifford of the Five Elements Sect watched the two confront each other with a calm look in his eyes.

Somehow, he felt an inexplicable worry in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Jaxx Nangle previously said he only had a ’ninety percent’ chance of defeating Wyatt Barnes.

"Dad, isn’t Jaxx Nangle simply bringing disgrace upon himself?"

On the Earth Peak’s side, David Field frowned.

"No!"

Frank Field shook his head, saying with a grave expression, "Don’t forget, like me, Jaxx Nangle is an ’Inscription Master’... Based on my previous investigation into Wyatt Barnes’s mental strength, it should not surpass that of Jaxx Nangle."

"So what?"

David Field did not understand.

"Don’t you get it? As long as Wyatt Barnes’s mental strength doesn’t exceed Jaxx Nangle’s, even if he uses his ’divinely gifted ability,’ Jaxx Nangle can use his mental strength to break it."

Frank Field slowly said, "If Wyatt Barnes lacks his ’divinely gifted ability’ to rely on, do you think he’d be a match for Jaxx Nangle?"

"Won’t that mean Wyatt Barnes is doomed?"

David Field inhaled sharply.

"As long as there are no accidents... This Wyatt Barnes is sure to lose! The legend of our Five Elements Sect’s Gold Peak as ’number one’ will continue to be upheld."

Frank Field declared.

Sharing Frank Field’s thoughts were some other ’Inscription Masters’ present.

These Inscription Masters included elders from various peaks, as well as disciples.

They all knew about Jaxx Nangle being an ’Inscription Master.’

"It seems that Wyatt Barnes’s mental strength doesn’t exceed that of Jaxx Nangle... otherwise, Jaxx Nangle certainly wouldn’t go up and humiliating himself."

"Wyatt Barnes’s mental strength should be exactly at the ’Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm’... precisely for this reason, Demetrius Nangle and Tatum Cruz were defeated by him."

"With mental strength at the Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm using his ’divinely gifted ability,’ Jaxx Nangle has nothing to fear!"

...

Many elders from the Five Elements Sect who were ’Inscription Masters’ buzzed with discussion.

Their words, spread by the disciples who were also ’Inscription Masters’ of the Five Elements Sect, soon enlightened many other disciples who had held doubts.

"So Senior Brother Jaxx is not afraid of Wyatt Barnes’s ’divinely gifted ability’!"

"Hmph! Without his ’divinely gifted ability’ as a crutch... isn’t this Wyatt Barnes just fish on the chopping block for Senior Brother Jaxx to slice as he pleases?"

"Gold Peak is indeed Gold Peak... no other peak can take away the ’number one’ honor from Gold Peak!"

...

A group of Five Elements Sect disciples talked amongst themselves, their voices spreading, reaching the ears of several from the Niklaus Woodson Peak.

Under Peak Master Callen Spacewood of the Niklaus Woodson Peak, Ableton Sun, Briggs Colby, and Noel Walton’s expressions all grew solemn.

"Wyatt Barnes, what they’re saying—is it true? Can that Jaxx Nangle really break your ’divinely gifted ability’?"

Noel Walton could not help but ask through condensed Origin Force.

"Wyatt Barnes, is your mental strength at the ’Seventh-Order of the Cave Void Realm’?"

Ableton Sun and Briggs Colby also couldn’t help but ask.

"Hmm."

Wyatt Barnes responded to the three people’s inquiries with a hum.

Instantly, the three of them wore a bitter smile.
