Legend of Wyatt-Chapter 1437: Wyatt Barnes Accepts the Challenge Letter

Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: Wyatt Barnes Accepts the Challenge Letter

"No need for you to teach him a lesson."

Quentin Campbell shook his head.

"No need to teach him a lesson?"

Javier Lynch looked confused, unable to guess what Quentin Campbell wanted to do.

"My intention is simply for you to test his depth... later, I’ll find someone to deal with him."

Quentin Campbell said calmly.

"I understand."

Javier Lynch suddenly realized, nodding his head, "That’s simple."

Indeed, it was simple.

For him, it was just a matter of issuing a challenge letter.

Even if he wasn’t a match for Wyatt Barnes in the end, at most, he’d just get a beating.

With the sect’s rules, he didn’t believe Wyatt Barnes would dare to cripple him, let alone kill him... without a Life and Death Duel challenge letter, murder would mean having to pay with one’s life!

"Tomorrow, I await your good news."

Having said that, Quentin Campbell left the outer sect area under the cover of night, returning to the inner sect area.

Early the next morning, Javier Lynch found the outer sect elder ’Pierce Reid’, "Elder Reid, I want to issue a challenge letter, please help me press a fingerprint."

As he spoke, Javier Lynch took out the prepared challenge letter.

"Javier, who do you want to challenge this time?"

Pierce Reid took the challenge letter, not yet having looked at it, and smiled as he asked.

Javier Lynch ranked ’47th’ in the outer sect of the Moon Radiance Sect, having fought his way up there... Seeing Javier preparing to issue a challenge letter, Pierce Reid assumed he was going to challenge someone ranked ahead of him.

"Elder Reid, the person I want to challenge this time is quite special."

Javier Lynch said with a faint smile.

"Hmm?"

Curious, Pierce Reid looked at the challenge letter in his hand, and upon seeing the name ’Wyatt Barnes’, he was stunned, "You... want to challenge that new disciple?"

"Yes."

Javier Lynch nodded.

"Javier, have you thought this through... Currently, Wyatt Barnes is ranked 85th in the outer sect. If you challenge him and win, that’s fine, but if you lose, you’ll drop a rank! And he will be elevated to ’47th’ because of you."

Pierce Reid said with a complex expression.

Wyatt Barnes was the young genius he had noticed during yesterday’s entrance assessment.

It’s just that Wyatt Barnes was unwilling to take him as a master.

After the entrance assessment ended, when he returned to the outer sect and heard about Wyatt Barnes’ prowess in defeating ’Ricky Ridge’, he was utterly astonished.

At that moment, any resentment born from Wyatt Barnes’ refusal vanished from his heart.

He knew his own limits. With Wyatt Barnes’ talent and strength, he had no right to be his teacher.

Even if he forcibly took Wyatt Barnes as a disciple, it would only be detrimental to him.

"I’ve thought it through."

Javier Lynch nodded, agreeing casually.

He had no intention to defeat Wyatt Barnes; he merely wanted to gauge Wyatt Barnes’ capabilities so that Senior Brother Quentin Campbell could find a way to deal with him.

Even if he lost, he’d only drop a rank; it was no big deal.

Moreover, if Wyatt Barnes’ strength surpassed his own, even without his challenge, Wyatt Barnes would eventually surpass him in ranking; he’d drop a rank either way.

"What do you think of Wyatt Barnes?"

Pierce Reid asked as he pressed his fingerprint onto the challenge letter.

Challenge letters were made from special paper.

By wrapping True Energy around the fingers and pressing, a fingerprint would appear on it.

"I suspect that after the first phase of the entrance assessment, Wyatt Barnes broke through to the ’Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm’.

"Javier Lynch said: "Being at the late stage of the Transcending Mortal Realm and defeating someone nearing the peak of the Great Perfection stage... it’s unrealistic."

"I had the same thought. Just as you’re challenging him, I too can use this opportunity to explore the truth."

Pierce Reid nodded, then returned the challenge letter to Javier Lynch.

"Thank you, Elder Reid."

Receiving the challenge letter, Javier Lynch headed straight to Wyatt Barnes’ independent courtyard without a word.

The independent courtyard originally belonged to Ricky Ridge, so Javier Lynch was quite familiar with the place.

Standing outside the courtyard, Javier Lynch raised his hand and let the challenge letter fly.

Using dark energy, the challenge letter wedged perfectly into the tightly closed door crack.

Gazing at the challenge letter, etching the scene into his memory, Javier Lynch then left.

As soon as Wyatt Barnes opened the door, the challenge letter would fall to the ground.

At that time, even if he wanted to place the challenge letter back exactly as it was, he couldn’t replicate the image in Javier’s mind... Even if Wyatt tried to lock himself in, Javier could still force his way in.

At that point, breaking in wouldn’t violate sect rules.

"A challenge letter?"

When Wyatt Barnes opened the door and walked out, picking up the challenge letter from the ground, it had already been a month.

Of course, he’d spent a full three months on the second floor of the Jewel Tower.

"Javier Lynch?"

Upon opening the challenge letter, Wyatt Barnes saw the name of its issuer.

Causally putting away the challenge letter, Wyatt Barnes walked out of the courtyard.

"I just wanted to take a stroll and also to see where Baer Bear and the others lived... and I didn’t expect someone to be waiting for me to come out."

Glancing at the challenge letter in his hand, Wyatt Barnes shook his head with a smile.

"Senior brother, do you know about ’Javier Lynch’?"

Wyatt Barnes stopped an outer sect disciple who passed by and asked with a smile.

"I do."

The outer sect disciple nodded, then smiled and asked: "Are you a new disciple who joined a month ago?"

This outer sect disciple had been in seclusion training a month ago.

Therefore, even though he’d heard of the famous ’Wyatt Barnes’, he’d never seen him before and didn’t recognize Wyatt Barnes at the moment.

"Hmm."

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

He had guessed why this outer sect disciple had asked.

In his heart, he was well aware that the moment he defeated Ricky Ridge, he became famous in the outer sect... All the outer sect disciples knew he resided in the independent courtyard Ricky Ridge once occupied.

And the ones who dared to issue him a challenge letter certainly weren’t weaker than Ricky Ridge.

Such people were undoubtedly well-known in the outer sect.

Only those new disciples who’d joined Moon Radiance Sect a month ago, like him, wouldn’t be aware.

"Junior, when you mention Senior Brother Javier Lynch, you mustn’t call him by his name directly... Senior Brother Javier Lynch ranks ’47th’ in our outer sect."

The outer sect disciple stopped by Wyatt Barnes spoke with a face full of dread.

"Ranked 47th in the outer sect?"

Wyatt Barnes suddenly understood. Just as he suspected, the one who issued the challenge letter wasn’t an ordinary outer sect disciple.

"That Ricky Ridge, ranked 85th, nearing the peak of the Great Perfection stage... This Javier Lynch issuing me a challenge letter should undoubtedly be someone at the peak of the Great Perfection stage."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

"Just right, though I’m just a step away from breaking through to ’Small Perfection of the Transcending Mortal Realm’, my body has undergone a complete transformation due to the integration of the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon Essence Blood... Javier Lynch challenging me is a good chance to hone my skills!"

Battle intent surged in Wyatt Barnes’ heart.

Though his cultivation hadn’t yet broken through, his body had transformed, leading to a substantial increase in physical strength.

Now, even without using the ’Mysterious Eye’s ability, he was confident in overpowering and defeating Ricky Ridge.

But if it were someone like Ricky Ridge, he wouldn’t be interested at all.

But Javier Lynch was suspected of being someone at the very peak of the Great Perfection stage!

"Senior brother, have you heard of Wyatt Barnes?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration hit Wyatt Barnes, and he looked at the outer sect disciple in front of him and asked.

"Who wouldn’t know him?"

The outer sect disciple replied matter-of-factly: "He is the most demonic existence among the new outer sect disciples in your batch, and he even broke the sect’s long-standing record by moving straight into an independent courtyard upon joining."

"Nowadays, not only the outer sect area but likely many in the inner sect area have heard his name."

The outer sect disciple finished in one breath.

Wyatt Barnes nodded.

He wasn’t surprised by this fact, he just wanted to confirm it.

"Given my current fame in the outer sect, for Javier Lynch to dare challenge me... he has to be at the peak of the Great Perfection stage! It seems, three months later, I have an opportunity to stretch my muscles again."

With this thought, Wyatt Barnes looked at the outer sect disciple, smiling as he asked: "Senior brother, do you know which independent courtyard Javier Lynch lives in?"

"It’s Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes!"

"It really is him!"

Before the outer sect disciple could respond, two other passing outer sect disciples exclaimed, looking at Wyatt Barnes with eyes full of awe.

"Wyatt Barnes?"

The outer sect disciple stopped by Wyatt Barnes was dumbfounded upon hearing the words of the two others.

The young man in purple in front of him was Wyatt Barnes?

"Senior brother, I didn’t mean to hide my identity... I just stepped out and saw this challenge letter from Javier Lynch, preparing to accept the challenge."

Wyatt Barnes apologized with a smile, then shook the challenge letter in his hand.

"Senior Brother Javier Lynch... challenged you?"

Hearing this, the outer sect disciple standing in front of Wyatt Barnes had his pupils contract in shock.

After a moment, he recovered, awkwardly smiling as he said: "Senior Brother Barnes, I didn’t know your identity earlier, it was disrespectful... In the martial world, the capable lead, you may just call me ’junior brother’."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, sighing inwardly, "Another one just like Canny Yorke."

"Senior Brother Javier Lynch, challenging Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes?"

And the two passing outer sect disciples quickly spread the news.

In just a quarter of an hour, almost every outer sect disciple not in seclusion knew of this astonishing news.

They certainly weren’t unfamiliar with Javier Lynch.

Ranked 47th in the outer sect, possessing an impressive strength at the peak of the Great Perfection stage.

Nor were they unfamiliar with Wyatt Barnes.

He was the one who had just entered the sect and defeated the 85th ranked outer sect disciple, taking his place.

And now, Javier Lynch had issued a challenge letter to Wyatt Barnes.

"Haha! If I had entered seclusion just a bit earlier, I would have missed this fight... Let’s go and join the bustle!"

"Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes is so strong, directly accepting the challenge! A real man!"

"I hope Senior Brother Javier Lynch isn’t in seclusion so we can see this dragon-tiger duel today."

....

Disciples from all over the outer sect area quickly rushed to the Martial Arts Performance Field.
