CHAPTER 99: CHAPTER 99 SIMON DAVIES

"Mr. Soldier, it wasn’t my fault, it was all..."

Daisy Davies tried to defend herself.

"Scram!"

The Iron Blood Army soldier’s face darkened as he bellowed loudly.

The terrifying sense of killing that pervaded the battlefield enveloped Daisy Davies, making her face pale.

Daisy Davies and her group could only scurry to the end of the line, shamefully falling back into formation.

Immediately, the surrounding area broke into a chorus of mocking laughter.

"Alas, brother, how could you make Mr. Soldier wait? It’s not easy for him. With so many people registering, he’s working very hard. You should be considerate."

Purposely or not, Wyatt Barnes was waiting at the end of the line, watching Daisy Davies, shaking his head in pity with a remorseful look on his face.

Daisy Davies face flushed red with anger, she couldn’t hold back anymore, "Kid, I’ll definitely not let you off!"

"Brother, getting angry is harmful to your health, remember to drink more water when you finish lining up."

Wyatt Barnes grinned, and promptly left with Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan.

"Hahaha..."

Westyn Morgan was the first to burst into wanton laughter.

Remi Sinclair also started laughing.

"Wyatt, you did that on purpose, right? You made a scene before leaving, making Daisy Davies look like a fool; you are quite ruthless."

Westyn Morgan again gave him a thumbs up, expressing his admiration.

"I really didn’t see it before, you really know how to play with people."

Remi Sinclair also shook his head with a smile.

"Ahem... You can eat the wrong things, but you mustn’t say the wrong things. Do you guys think, am I that kind of person?"

Wyatt Barnes coughed lightly, and asked seriously.

"You are."

Both Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan nodded their heads in unison.

The smile on Wyatt Barnes’s face froze completely...

"Let’s go, it’s still early, let’s have breakfast."

An awkward smile appeared on his face, and Wyatt Barnes changed the topic.

The three of them were in high spirits and enjoyed the breakfast immensely.

The rest of the day was spent exploring Iron Blood City, and in the evening, they had dinner and returned to the inn.

They were waiting for the examination tomorrow.

That night, Wyatt Barnes took an Ascension Pill and quietly cultivated the ’Mad Python Transformation’ mental technique within the ’Nine Dragons War Sovereign’.

The Mad Python Transformation was somewhat different from the ’Spirit Snake Transformation’.

If the Spirit Snake Transformation is about training your body to be as flexible as a spirit snake...

Then the Mad Python Transformation is about enabling your body to possess the ’Power of the Mad Python’.

Just like when Wyatt Barnes taught the four young men of the Davies Family a lesson, his arm seemed to swing casually, but it was filled with the power of the Mad Python, just like a python whipping its tail during an attack...

It’s a unique group attack technique.

Unlike ’Drawing the Dragon’s Eyes’.

’Drawing the Dragon’s Eyes’ is a derivative of the ’Piercing Cloud Finger’ practiced by the Reincarnation Martial Emperor and belongs to a single, powerful attack method.

"The ’Mad Python Transformation’ provides me with a powerful force, although it’s not a martial technique, its power isn’t lesser... it’s similar to a demon beast’s attack method. I have a feeling that once I master the Mad Python Transformation, its power won’t be inferior to a peak-level Profound Level martial skill!"

Wyatt Barnes’s eyes glowed brightly.

His heart filled with motivation, he practiced the ’Mad Python Transformation’ technique even more diligently...

He cultivated until late into the night, and only then did he fall asleep.

The next day.

Since they only needed to enter the Iron Blood Army camp before noon, Wyatt Barnes and the others didn’t get up until it was quite late.

They were mentally prepared.

Once they became members of the Genius Camp, they probably wouldn’t have the opportunity to oversleep.

After they finished their breakfast, the three of them casually made their way to the Iron Blood Army camp.

When they reached the entrance of the camp, they showed their badges and walked in.

What they saw was a spacious field.

Surrounding the field, numerous people were standing, all no older than nineteen...

Wyatt Barnes and the others took their places on one side.

Waiting for noon to arrive.

"Wyatt Barnes."

Suddenly, Westyn Morgan cast a weird glance at Wyatt Barnes and then looked off into the distance.

Wyatt Barnes looked up.

The four youngsters from the Davies Family of the County City had appeared once again. This time, they had brought another person with them.

Now, Daisy Davies and the others were respectfully following behind this person.

This was an eighteen-year-old youth dressed in black with gold trim. His face displayed an air of aloofness and arrogance.

It was almost like he was a carbon copy of Remi Sinclair.

Daisy Davies spotted Wyatt Barnes and her face changed. Then she whispered something to the youth in black...

The expression of the black-clad youth darkened, and his piercing gaze fell on Wyatt Barnes.

At the same time, he started walking towards Wyatt Barnes.

"It’s you, isn’t it? Not only did you hurt the people of my Davies Family, but also repeatedly humiliated them?"

The youth in black came aggressively, his menacing gaze was as if choosing someone to devour.

Whoosh!

Above the youth in black’s head, six ancient phantom elephants appeared instantly.

Condensed Pill Realm Fourth Layer!

In that moment, the faces of Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan changed.

Wyatt Barnes raised an eyebrow, appearing somewhat surprised.

He was just thinking that the Davies Family, being one of the top five families in County City, couldn’t possibly send only Daisy Davies and the others.

Out of them, Daisy Davies was the strongest.

But even she was far from being a match for Remi Sinclair.

They were both at the Condensed Pill Realm Third Layer, but Remi Sinclair’s ’World within Sleeves’ completely outclassed her...

Apparently, the young man in black before them was the real youthful genius of the Davies Family.

Eighteen years old, at the fourth stage of the Condensed Pill Realm.

His talent could be considered quite good.

At this point, a group of youngsters who had noticed the commotion gathered around to spectate.

"It’s Simon Davies, the top genius of the Davies family’s younger generation in County City!"

"I heard that amongst the younger generation in County City, Simon Davies ranks second, only below Taylor Thomsen of the Thomsen family."

"That’s right, even though Simon Davies and Taylor Thomsen are both at the fourth stage of the Condensed Pill Realm, Simon Davies is slightly inferior to Taylor Thomsen in terms of martial arts skills. However, the difference between them is very small."

"Who is this purple-clothed youth who dares to provoke Simon Davies?"

"I recognize him. The day before yesterday, in the evening, he beat four other members of the Davies family."

"So that’s what happened, it seems that Simon Davies is standing up for them."

...

A chorus of voices arose from the youths.

"Indeed, I did hurt them, but they were the ones who started the trouble...As for making a mockery, I really don’t know where to begin?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at Simon Davies with a calm expression, unaffected by the situation.

He had also heard the surrounding discussions.

He hadn’t expected that this Simon Davies was the second ranked person amongst the younger generation of County City.

"You made us line up again, isn’t this a mockery?"

Daisy Davies’ face reddened, and she roared.

"You lining up again has nothing to do with me, shouldn’t you take it up with Mr. Soldier?"

Wyatt Barnes looked at them with a strange expression.

"You three, kneel down and bow three times, and this matter will be over."

The gaze of Simon Davies swept over Wyatt Barnes, Remi Sinclair, and Westyn Morgan one by one.

Even though he had heard from Daisy Davies that this purple-clothed youth was a sixth stage Condensed Pill Realm practitioner.

But in his opinion.

A sixteen or seventeen year old brat, in terms of battle experience and martial arts skills, how could he possibly compare to him?

Westyn Morgan’s face changed, and under the surge of anger, his breathing became rapid.

The usual coldness on Remi Sinclair’s face deepened.

"Haha..."

Wyatt Barnes laughed, stepping forward and looking directly at Simon Davies, unfazed, "The four of you, kneel down and bow ten times... perhaps, I may forgive you and let you go."

As he finished speaking, a bloody murderous intent radiated from Wyatt Barnes.

The murderous intent shocked Simon Davies and he looked visibly shaken.

"What are you all doing?"

Just then, a thunderous voice sounded.

A robust Iron Blood Army officer strode into the crowd, and after ascertaining the situation, his face turned serious.

"Today is the day of our Iron Blood Army’s Genius Camp assessment. If anyone dares to cause trouble before the assessment, their eligibility for the assessment will be immediately canceled!"

The robust officer barked.

"My brother is your Iron Blood Army’s Centurion, Joseph Davies!"

Simon Davies looked at the robust officer, his eyes flashing.

"Hmm?"

Wyatt Barnes’ face changed.

Remi Sinclair and Westyn Morgan also looked unpleased...

This Simon Davies’ brother was a Centurion in the Iron Blood Army?

Wyatt Barnes might not fear Simon Davies, but he had to give face to Simon Davies’ brother who was a Centurion of the Iron Blood Army.

Meanwhile, the crowd also stirred up.

"I remember now, Simon Davies’ elder brother ’Joseph Davies’ entered the Iron Blood Army’s Genius Camp seven years ago... Later on, there were no news of him entering the Holy Martial Academy. Many people thought he was dead, I didn’t expect him to stay in the Iron Blood Army and even become a Centurion."

"A Centurion at the age of twenty-five.... That’s really impressive!"

"No wonder I heard that Simon Davies didn’t queue up to register for this Genius Camp assessment, his brother had already arranged everything for him."

"His brother is a Centurion of the Iron Blood Army, some advantages should be expected."

"Damn! When training at the Genius Camp, with his brother Joseph Davies’ ’care’, wouldn’t Simon Davies also have the advantage to successfully pass?"

"It’s really good to have a brother who is a Centurion in the Iron Blood Army."

"In my opinion, this Simon Davies doesn’t need to come at all. He can let his brother arrange a ’Holy Martial Academy’ admission slot for him."

...

All the youths began discussing, focusing their accusations on Simon Davies.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, the robust officer’s face changed.

After giving Simon Davies a stern glance, he said loudly: "Everyone, rest assured, our Iron Blood Army’s Genius Camp training, is fair to everyone ... Moreover, officers who have relatives in the Genius Camp are not allowed to interfere with the Genius Camp’s training, they must avoid giving a semblance of favoritism. This is a strict rule in our Iron Blood Army, and anyone who breaks it will be dealt with according to military law."

After speaking, he looked at Simon Davies again, his gaze sharp.

"I don’t care if your big brother is a Centurion in our Iron Blood Army. If you’re standing here today, you must obey the rules of the Iron Blood Army... otherwise, I will cancel your assessment eligibility!"

The robust officer’s voice boomed.

For a moment, the expressions of many youths eased a bit.

"You, a mere Centurion, dare to disrespect my brother?"

Simon Davies’ face darkened and his gaze turned cold.

"In the Iron Blood Army, military laws are as firm as a mountain. Even if a Centurion commits a mistake, he is punished just like any soldier!"

The robust officer responded with neither humility nor arrogance.

"Good!"

"Good for you, Centurion!"

Many of the youths couldn’t help but praise him.

Wyatt Barnes also gave the robust officer another look. He could tell from his speech and actions that this was a man of integrity who was not given to false pretenses.

"Fine, very well..."

Simon Davies’ face turned ugly as he glared at the robust officer. "What’s your name? I’ll make sure to remember it well and let my big brother remember you too..."

"Does your big brother need to remember me too?"

Just then, an authoritative voice echoed from outside.
