I Am A Prodigy
Chapter 515 - Everything Is Still Under Control

Chapter 515 Everything Is Still Under Control

Ye Lingchen’s brows twitched as he sighed internally.

Just as he expected, Diatribe at the basic level was not as unbeatable—it was still lacking. At first, he planned to take them by surprise and take them out verbally. Reality, however, was not as ideal. Not only did he fail to take them out verbally, he even enraged them.

‘Regardless, how dare you talk back when I’m lecturing you?’

Ye Lingchen pursed his lips and glared at the person who shouted with a chilling gleam in his eyes!

The next instant...

“Ahhh—”

That person shrieked. His face twisted and his voice was filled with pain. Following that, he fell on his knees!

Boom!

The ground shook violently. Along where his knees hit the floor, a crater was formed with cracks spreading outward.

Accompanying the sounds of bones cracking, that man’s knees were bloodied right before everyone’s eyes!

Earlier, Ye Lingchen remained standing at his spot. He merely lifted his leg and sent a kick at the man’s legs. Following that, he placed a hand on his shoulders and applied pressure!

Ye Lingchen’s attack with his fury behind it was unbelievably powerful. Falling to his knees was inevitable. That man was already lucky to remain alive from the impact!

“Roar!”

Although that man’s pitiful appearance had spooked the others, it also triggered their violent nature deep within them. With a savage roar, they once again threw themselves at Ye Lingchen!

They still had their claws after losing their weapons!

At that moment, whistling sounds could be heard. The very air around them seemed to be scarred by the cuts.

14 people, 56 claws, and 14 sets of fangs. Some of them even had spines growing out from their back. The threat of death was everywhere, making it a terrible situation to be in.

Ye Lingchen’s eyes brightened immediately. Ever since his body had undergone the training of Eight Extremities Brute Training, his agility was unmatched as he could adjust his body movements as he liked. His Dragon-Catcher Hand struck out continuously. Each claw would dislocate the joints of a single martial artist, causing the sounds of dislocations to ring out constantly.

“Hmph!”

With a huff, Ye Lingchen lost his patience. He stomped his foot on the ground and energy started gathering in his hands. All around him, the air seemed to feel extremely oppressive. It felt like the awakening of a great power. Once it was awakened, massive destructive power was inevitable!

Everyone felt an ominous feeling enveloping their hearts; they felt very uncomfortable.

Then, Ye Lingchen’s fists swung forth. Although inner force was difficult to detect with the naked eye, the ripples in the air were still visible and were seemingly tearing the air apart.

Boom!

With an explosion akin to a bomb, the entire second floor fell into complete silence!

The 15 people were sent flying, strewn all over the place. Some were even without a complete body as they lay on the ground without any signs of life!

On the fifth floor...

Deathly silence!!!

Tsune Takeshi and the rest could not help but look at Elder Hiroshi. Their eyes were filled with questions and confusion.

After all, Elder Hiroshi had confidently made his judgment on Ye Lingchen’s ability and even concluded that both parties would take huge losses if both floors went at him together.

That statement still seemed to be echoing in their ears.

However, in reality, Ye Lingchen handled everything without breaking a sweat. He was even able to fight them off unarmed. Most importantly, his final strike was truly amazing and was similar in power to that of explosives.

The entire battle did not even last two minutes!

Huge losses?

They were not even of the same level. It was more akin to sending lambs to the slaughterhouse!

Elder Hiroshi seemed so confident earlier. They did not expect his words to be so unreliable.

“Hehe, it matters not!”

Elder Hiroshi laughed it off casually. He ignored the skeptical gazes and continued in a profound voice, “It’s quite a feat for this brat to reach the stage of an inner-force martial artist at such a young age. I didn’t expect his inner force to have such a great foundation. He probably learned some powerful martial arts or had some thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish him. Everything is still under control.”

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was internally feeling very foul. An unknown fire was burning deep within his heart!

He was confident of his observations, but Ye Lingchen just embarrassed him greatly in front of everyone!

After living for 113 years, the most important thing to him was his reputation!

He initially planned to pull off a perfect boast, but right as he made his remarks in front of Tsune Takeshi and the others, a plot twist came about to slap him in the face in just a few short minutes!

Smack, smack, smack!

He could almost hear the loud slapping sounds of his face being slapped, turning his old cheeks bright red.

‘F*ck!’

‘This trashy brat dares to embarrass me like this?!’ Elder Hiroshi was boiling with rage internally.

“Elder Hiroshi, this inner force... Could it be Inner Strength? Could it be that this brat cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique?”

Tsune Takeshi took a deep breath. His heart was racing, feeling a sense of dread. He did not expect to see an expert of the Inner Strength just like those in wuxia novels. A thread of fear took hold in his heart.

“Hehe, it’s just inner force. I can do that too!” Elder Hiroshi shrugged. He planned to recover from this embarrassment proudly. He then swept a glance at Tsune Takeshi, sneering, “Also, are you doubting me? Actually, that brat is already almost spent!”

“Almost spent?” Tsune Takeshi’s eyes popped wide open, looking at Elder Hiroshi in surprise.

“Hehe, that’s right!” Elder Hiroshi pointed at Ye Lingchen’s body. “Look at the wound on him!”

When being surrounded at such close quarters, Ye Lingchen naturally could not avoid getting some superficial damage. There were a few spots on his body that were grazed by the attacks, showing signs of bleeding.

“This wound...” Tsune Takeshi looked at those grazes that could hardly be considered a wound. After keeping silent for some time, he finally spoke up, “Extraordinary!”

Elder Hiroshi gave Tsune Takeshi a surprised look, then finally gave him an appreciative smile. “You can see it? Good vision! This wound is extraordinary because it’s poisoned!”

‘Poison?!’

Tsune Takeshi was surprised. The corner of his lips then curled up slightly as his eyes filled with an enlightened look.

Genetic mutation was not only limited to the change in appearance. The other parts of the body could also undergo changes. Just like that of the venomous snakes, they could contain venom!

Although the wound was superficial, the venom had already seeped into his body via the opening. That venom was not something an ordinary person could handle!

“He will surely die!” Tsune Takeshi’s breathing became labored as he looked at Ye Lingchen delightfully over the ill fate that would befall him.

“Hehe, the thing on the fourth floor is still incomplete. Since he’s about to die, lead him directly to the fifth floor. Guess how many seconds he would take before falling over?” Elder Hiroshi laughed cruelly as he asked.

Before Tsune Takeshi could answer, Elder Hiroshi was already showing three of his fingers, claiming confidently, “30 seconds! He won’t last more than 30 seconds!”

At that moment, he urgently needed to prove himself once more. Since his boast earlier had failed, he needed to change a way to boast.

“He will go down in 30 seconds?” Tsune Takeshi was surprised. He did not expect the poison to be that scary.

“That’s right. Start the countdown.”

Tap, tap, tap!

Ye Lingchen’s footsteps rung out slowly. The third floor’s culture tanks were empty. He did not linger and continued toward the fourth floor...
