Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1411: Confrontation with Lingyun

Listening to the discussion of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, Wyatt Barnes gained new insights into the supreme martial arts techniques.

Previously, when he encountered supreme martial arts techniques, it was all through ’Holy Simplicity,’ learning rigid methods, which were far from as vivid as described by the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

"No wonder the Martial Dao Sacred Land has the ’Holy Simplicity,’ yet so many people still choose to become disciples... Becoming a disciple is not just about gaining additional backing; it’s also a way to improve one’s strength."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

In the following period, Wyatt Barnes did not rush back to the Hidden Dragon Camp and settled down in the residence of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City.

The City Lord’s residence lacked nothing, and the cultivation environment was even better than that of the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Staying here for a few days, according to Ingot Gold’s words, one would not want to return to the Hidden Dragon Camp.

"Today, the four of you will determine who is superior and inferior in front of me... In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, we respect the powerful. You should arrange your order of seniority based on your strengths."

One day, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City summoned Wyatt Barnes and the other three, speaking to them.

Among the four, except for Ingot Gold who addressed Wyatt Barnes and Ling Yun as ’Senior Brother’... the others had never called each other ’Senior Brother,’ nor had anyone called themselves ’Junior Brother.’

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City noticed this and planned to establish their seniority today.

"Master, let me be the first... If Baer Bear defeats me, I’m willing to be the ’junior brother.’"

Ingot Gold volunteered first.

"Alright."

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City nodded and then stood aside with Wyatt Barnes and Ling Yun, quietly watching the imminent showdown between Ingot Gold and Baer Bear.

"Ingot Gold, you’re still as insubordinate as ever."

Baer Bear wasn’t surprised at all that Ingot Gold wanted to challenge him; instead, he watched Ingot Gold closely with a serious expression, ready for his strike at any moment.

Although his ranking among the Thirteen Protectors of the Hidden Dragon Camp was before Ingot Gold, his strength was only slightly better than Ingot Gold’s.

Every time, it would take more than a hundred moves to decide the victor.

After breaking through to the later stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, Wyatt Barnes discovered a problem... even without using the ’Mysterious Eye,’ he was able to clearly see the every move of Ingot Gold and Baer Bear’s exchange.

"It seems that after my breakthrough to the later stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm, not only has my body become stronger, but all my organs have become different from the typical Martial Artist in the later stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm," Wyatt Barnes speculated to himself.

Beyond that, Wyatt Barnes could not think of a second explanation.

The fight between Ingot Gold and Baer Bear was fierce with their back-and-forth... Eventually, Wyatt Barnes became somewhat drowsy from watching the evenly matched pair.

It was only after a hundred moves that Ingot Gold began to fall behind, and Wyatt Barnes became a bit more alert.

Another thirty or so moves passed, and Baer Bear defeated Ingot Gold with a strike.

"Again, over a hundred and thirty moves."

Ingot Gold wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, frowning involuntarily.

"Two moves more than last time."

Baer Bear gave a light smile and said, "Junior Brother Gold, now shouldn’t you address me as ’Senior Brother’?"

"Baer Senior Brother."

Despite some reluctance, Ingot Gold didn’t play foul; he earnestly called out to Baer Bear ’Senior Brother’ and then stood aside.

To this outcome, whether it was Wyatt Barnes, Ling Yun, or the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, none found it surprising.

After consuming a ’Two-star Healing Pill’ thrown to him by the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, Baer Bear quickly recovered to his peak condition... His gaze immediately locked onto Wyatt Barnes.

"Wyatt Barnes, I admit I’m no match for Ling Yun... If you win our battle, I will honor you as ’Senior Brother.’ If I win, you..."

Baer Bear looked toward Wyatt Barnes.

However, before he could finish, Wyatt Barnes interrupted him, "If you win, I will likewise honor you as ’Senior Brother.’"

"Good! That’s the spirit!"

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s response, Baer Bear flashed a broad smile, "Let’s begin."

Under the watchful eyes of the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, Ling Yun, and Ingot Gold, Wyatt Barnes stepped forward and soon stood opposite Baer Bear, still as a mountain.

Ingot Gold looked at Baer Bear, his eyes filled with a hint of pity.

In his opinion, Baer Bear’s strength was at most only slightly better than his... He couldn’t compare to Wyatt Barnes, who even he felt inferior to; thus Baer Bear stood no chance.

At that moment, he seemed to foresee Baer Bear’s defeat by Wyatt Barnes in just a few moves.

However, what happened next was beyond his expectations... not only his, but also the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s and Ling Yun’s.

Under the gaze of the three of them, Wyatt Barnes stood there, motionless for a long time.

Eventually, Baer Bear made the first move.

Despite being ranked ’second’ among the Thirteen Protectors, when facing Wyatt Barnes—a rival Ingot Gold admitted inferiority to—Baer Bear did not dare to slack off.

As soon as he made a move, he went all out, without any reservation.

Yet, despite his full force, he was suddenly sent flying by Wyatt Barnes who disappeared from his field of vision.

The moment before he was propelled away, all he saw was a flash before his eyes as Wyatt Barnes appeared in front of him, merely inches away.

As Wyatt Barnes raised his hand, a punch thunderously landed on Baer Bear.

With that punch, Baer Bear trembled, feeling as if a hefty hammer had struck his chest. His organs shook as he was sent flying like an arrow released from a bow.

After Teng Yun mounted the clouds and rode the mists, Baer Bear fell to the ground in a sorry state, defeated swiftly and decisively.

Silence.

The scene was dead quiet.

The muffled breathing from Baer Bear’s nose was clearly audible.

"Impressive!"

After recovering from his shock, Ingot Gold gave Wyatt Barnes a thumbs-up, "Senior Brother Barnes is truly a martial artist genius from the Continent of Mortals. Your strength is so formidable that you could probably be compared with those who have reached Small Perfection in the Transcending Mortal Realm."

Although Ingot Gold seemed calm on the surface, his heart was already overwhelmed by waves of turbulence.

He had faith in Wyatt Barnes, but he thought it would take several moves for Wyatt to defeat Baer Bear... Who would have known, it was just a single exchange, and Baer Bear was defeated.

This gave him a new understanding of Wyatt’s strength, while his heart was filled with indescribable shock.

"Is this... really just a warrior in the mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm?"

Thinking of this, Ingot Gold couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath, his face filled with disbelief.

Wyatt looked at Wyatt Barnes with a serious expression.

He had seen the moment Wyatt Barnes made his move very clearly... At that instant, he even felt that Wyatt’s speed was not much slower than his own.

Although he knew Wyatt Barnes could overcome his betters in battle and defeat those in the latter stages of the Transcending Mortal Realm, both martial artists and Taoist Cultivators, with his ’mid-phase Transcending Mortal Realm’ cultivation.

But he never imagined that Wyatt’s strength would be so formidable.

Even Baer Bear, at the peak of the late Transcending Mortal Realm, wasn’t his match in a single exchange.

"Late... late phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm?"

The City Lord of Hill Mountain City promptly used a ’spiritual secret technique’ to probe Wyatt’s current cultivation and couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath covertly, his heart as if ten thousand horses were galloping across it, unable to rest for a long time.

How long had it been since Wyatt made another breakthrough?

After a while, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s heart gradually calmed down after several deep breaths.

However, although he was shocked, he did not speak out.

As the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, he naturally knew what should be said and what should not.

He had no doubts.

If the news that Wyatt had made continuous breakthroughs across two levels of cultivation in such a short period got out, he would inevitably become the target of all... Once it reached that point, it would not be a good thing for Wyatt.

Because everyone, himself included, would think:

Wyatt, who continuously broke through two levels of cultivation in a short period, most likely harbors some unspeakable ’great secret’ within him.

Of course, there could be other reasons.

But others would not think that way.

Better to kill wrongly than to miss an enemy!

This is the rule of the greedy.

So, to protect Wyatt, despite being incredibly shocked, he remained silent... So long as he kept silent, Wyatt and the other three would not know that Wyatt had made a breakthrough to the ’late phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm’.

In their eyes, Wyatt was still a mid-phase Transcending Mortal Realm martial artist, an extremely abnormal and terrifying one.

"When he was in the mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm, he could defeat most warriors in the late phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm... Now that he has broken through to the late phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm, even Teng Yun might not necessarily be his match," the City Lord of Hill Mountain City thought to himself.

At the same time, he felt pleased, as if he had stumbled upon a ’treasure’.

"Senior Brother Barnes."

After taking a healing Pill Medicine, Baer Bear slowly got up after catching his breath, and once again, when he looked at Wyatt, his eyes conveyed a measure of respect.

From the bottom of his heart, he was convinced by Wyatt... The young man in purple who had defeated and sent him flying in just a single encounter.

"Are you alright?"

Since the other party had called him ’senior brother,’ Wyatt naturally asked with a concerned smile.

After confirming that Baer Bear was alright, he then turned his gaze to Teng Yun.

"You are very strong."

Teng Yun stepped forward, looking earnestly at Wyatt Barnes, "Before today, I never imagined... that one day, I would feel wary in front of a martial artist in the mid-phase of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"You are not weak either."

Wyatt Barnes replied calmly.

"Wyatt Barnes!"

It was at that moment, the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s voice reached Wyatt’s ears with the aid of True Energy, "Don’t easily reveal your ’late-phase Transcending Mortal Realm’ cultivation."

Wyatt was not surprised that the City Lord of Hill Mountain City knew about his breakthrough.

Because when he defeated Baer Bear, he noticed that the spiritual force of the City Lord had swept over him, giving him the feeling of being completely seen-through again.

At that time, he knew that the City Lord of Hill Mountain City had suspicions about his cultivation and had used a ’spiritual secret technique’ to probe it.

Wyatt could detect the urgency in the City Lord of Hill Mountain City’s tone.

This surprised him somewhat.
