Legend of Wyatt

A month's time passed in a flash.

Today is the day Wyatt Barnes and Hamza Lee have scheduled to duel.

In the clean and tidy room in the early morning,

Wyatt got up from the bath and slowly walked out.

He had just used up the last vial of Seven Treasures Body Tempering Fluid.

Gently trembling his sore body, feeling the power it contained, a faint smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

His efforts over the past month had not been wasted!

After a month of arduous cultivation, some of the childishness had faded from his handsome face.

The long period of body tempering had made Wyatt's body become sturdy and robust.

His dark purple, body-hugging outfit vividly highlighted his perfect physique.

Compared to the frail boy from over a month ago, who hadn't completed body tempering and become a warrior, he was practically a different person.

Just then, a gentle knock came from outside the room.

"Young Master, are you awake?"

The melodious voice, like a warbler singing, brought a touch of tenderness to Wyatt's calm face.

Dressing himself, Wyatt walked out from behind the screen, slowly coming to the door and opening it.

The door opened, allowing soft and warm sunlight to spill into the room, bathing Wyatt in a warm glow.

Outside the door, a graceful girl locked eyes with Wyatt for a moment before quickly bowing her head, a tinge of blush appearing on her face.

The girl was dressed in a light green outfit today, perfectly complementing her developing figure.

Her pair of budding flowers of youth silently unleashed the temptation of youth.

On her slender waist, a light blue sash fluttered in the wind...

Looking at the girl outside his door, Wyatt was momentarily dazzled.

"Keer, you're up so early."

Coming back to himself, Wyatt managed a faint smile.

He murmured to himself, over this past month, as she completed her body tempering, Keer's figure had become more and more enticing.

As Wyatt sized up the girl up and down, her face turned so red that it seemed like it would bleed.

"Young Master, the Lady said she's gone ahead, and asked me to wake you up so we could all go together. But I didn't expect that you'd be up so early already."

The girl blinked her autumn eyes and gently nodded her head.

Her words made Wyatt laugh bitterly.

Did his mother still think that he was the same old lazybones?

"Keer, have you...broken through to the Second Layer of Body Tempering?"

Suddenly, Wyatt looked at the girl with mild astonishment, noticing that she had broken through.

"Thanks to the medicinal solution you helped me prepare, Young Master, otherwise my progress wouldn't have been this fast."

The girl blinked her eyes and slightly raised her eyebrows, her mouth adorned with an enchanting smile.

"The medicinal solution is just a secondary factor, the key is Keer, your talent is really good, it seems the Cold Ice Divine Sword Formula suits you well... Keer, you practice a sword cultivation technique, so you need a sword. This afternoon, I'll take you out to get one."

Wyatt shook his head and smiled.

"Young Master, didn't you say that the Body Tempering section of the Cold Ice Divine Sword Formula doesn't match any sword techniques?"

The girl blinked her autumn eyes.

"I'll teach you some other sword techniques first, would you like to learn?"

Wyatt asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

The girl eagerly nodded her head, seeming almost afraid Wyatt would change his mind.

"Keer, let's head over too."

Wyatt stepped out of the room, closed the door behind him, and naturally extended his hand to hold the girl's soft hand in his. The whole action was as smooth as flowing water, as if he had practiced it countless times.

"Yes, let's not keep the Lady waiting."

The girl's face was full of blissful smiles as she held the boy's hand a little tighter.

A pair of golden boy and jade girl, hand-in-hand, walked out of the grand courtyard towards the Lee Family's Martial Arts Performance Field.

Along the way, they attracted many envious and jealous gazes.

A few of the Lee Family's young descendants looked at Wyatt with almost fiery gazes, as if they would push Wyatt away in a heartbeat and take his place.

There were also some girls looking jealously at the beautiful Keer, who looked like a little fairy.

...

The Lee Family's Martial Arts Performance Field was a huge bluestone field.

The area outside the field, which was slightly elevated, was crowded with people. These were all members of the Lee family, chattering animatedly, their voices roaring to the sky.

"It's just a duel between two youngsters, and yet almost all the elder of the family have come. What a grand event!"

"Yes, even a few of the elders who were responsible for managing the family's market at the Clear Wind Town have come back. This scale can even match a coming-of-age ceremony."

"From what I see, the main factor is the Seventh Elder had invited the Family Head and the Grand Elder to be the witnesses of today's duel. Now that the Family Head and the Grand Elder are here, it wouldn't be right for these elders not to come."

...

In front of the field was a raised platform arranged with tables and chairs. Many people were already seated there, enjoying the tea upon the tables.

These people were the higher-ranking members of the Lee family.

The head of the Lee family, Jeremy Lee, sat in the center.

Apart from an empty seat beside him, all the other seats were filled. Standing behind these elders of the Lee family were several boys and girls.

As the Ninth Elder of Lee family, Christina Lee sat on the far end, her expression composed, unfazed even if the Mount Tai in front of her crumbled.

"Ninth Elder, what a steadiness."

Mark Lee, the Seventh Elder, cast a glance at Christina Lee, despite the Eighth Elder separating them. He offered a faint smile.

He looked like a sure winner.

However, Christina Lee acted as if she hadn't heard his words at all, totally ignoring him, which caused the Eighth Elder positioned between them to also reveal a strange smile.

"Humph!"

Mark Lee laughed angrily.

He was eager to see, how long this Christina Lee could keep up her aloof act.

Today, his eldest son, Hamza Lee, would definitely cripple Wyatt Barnes, avenging his good-for-nothing younger son.

"Grand Elder!"

"Grand Elder!"

...

At this moment, the crowd parted in the distance.

Along with a wave of reverent titles, an aged figure stepped forward and ascended the high platform.

It was the Grand Elder of the Lee Family, Kayson Lee!

"Grand Elder!"

Every one of the Lee family elders, including the family leader Jeremy Lee, all stood up, respectfully saluting the old man.

This old man wasn't just the strongest presence in the Lee family, but also a highly revered Ninth Grade alchemist.

In the Cloud Skies Continent, only the alchemists graded were considered as true alchemists.

Becoming an alchemist required meeting extremely stringent conditions.

It could be said that among a thousand Condensed Pill Realm warriors, there might not be one capable of becoming an alchemist.

The three major families in Qinfeng town each have a Ninth Grade alchemist.

Only the Lee family's alchemist is one of their own, while other two families' alchemists, who they had to pay heavily for their services, could leave at any time.

The old man nodded lightly, sat next to the family leader, Jeremy Lee, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Hamza, now that the Grand Elder has arrived, you should proceed first."

Seventh Elder, Mark Lee, suggested. The always at his side, Hamza Lee nodded his head, strutted out, and entered the spacious Martial Arts Performance Field.

"Even the Grand Elder has come, Hamza Lee has also appeared, why hasn't Wyatt Barnes arrived?"

"This Wyatt Barnes, is really full of himself!"

"He isn't afraid to show up, is he?"

...

The Scions of the Lee family surrounding the Martial Arts Performance Field were all discussing, with few even sneering at Wyatt Barnes.

"Ninth Elder, even the Grand Elder is here, why hasn't your son Wyatt Barnes arrived yet? He isn't afraid to show up, is he?"

On the high platform, Seventh Elder Mark Lee deliberately asked in a loud voice.

"Seventh Elder, rest assured, since my son has agreed, he will certainly come."

Christina Lee snorted lightly.

"Ninth Elder, I feel this battle today is unnecessary. How about you simply concede defeat on behalf of your son, to avoid your son getting hurt, ruining the harmony between you and the Seventh Elder?"

'Bellamy Lee,' the Sixth Elder, always on good terms with Mark Lee, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, stated indifferently.

"Sixth Elder, by your words, it seems you believe that Hamza Lee will surely win?"

Fifth Elder Moshe Lee couldn't help but speak up.

"This is a universally acknowledged fact."

Bellamy Lee laughed.

"Then I will place a bet with the Sixth Elder...if Hamza Lee wins, I lose five hundred USD to you, but if Wyatt Barnes wins, you also lose five hundred USD to me. How about it?"

Moshe Lee gazed deeply at Bellamy Lee and stated slowly.

For each elder of the Lee family, the monthly salary is only more than ten USD. Moshe Lee blasted out several years' worth of his salary as stake!

Every upper echelon of the Lee family present, including family leader Jeremy Lee looked in surprise at Moshe Lee, they hadn't expected him to have so much confidence in Wyatt Barnes.

Even the Grand Elder Kayson Lee opened his eyes and looked deeply at Moshe Lee.

Upon hearing Moshe Lee's words, Bellamy Lee's eyes brightened.

He was already quite the gambling addict; in his view, Moshe Lee was simply handing over money to him.

It's just, five hundred is a sum he couldn't currently cover.

His money was nearly completely squandered in the gambling dens.

"What, Sixth Elder, are you scared?"

Seeing Bellamy Lee go silent, Moshe Lee laughed.

Bellamy Lee's face flushed red, he shifted his gaze towards the Seventh Elder, Mark Lee at his side.

"Sixth Elder, I lend you five hundred USD. Furthermore, I put down another five hundred USD to bet with Fifth Elder, is Fifth Elder willing to accompany me?"

Mark Lee, seeing Bellamy Lee's difficulty, stared intently at Moshe Lee.

Moshe Lee frowned.

Despite the five hundred being just several years of his salary, coupled with his everyday expenses, he has been able to save only about eight hundred in these years.

Mark Lee being able to save a thousand makes him quite well-off among the Lee family elders.

You could say, this time Mark Lee was putting all his eggs in one basket!
