I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 102: Warning From the Birds

Knelt… knelt down?!

The other three men from Earth’s Gate were momentarily dazed, unable to believe what had just happened in front of their eyes.

“Aaaaah!”

Finally, the bald man recovered from his daze. Trembling from the pain, his face was twisted and cried out in a frenzied scream!

Bright red blood flowed down from his arms, staining the floor with a sickening red color.

That was his blood!

Ever since he joined Earth’s Gate, his hands were smeared with the blood of countless victims. However, that was the first time his blood was spilled in front of him!

The wrist on both his arms flopped limply by his sides, leaving only the skin holding it together. A gruesome sight to behold.

“You guys are full of sh*t!” Ye Lingchen shook his head, calm as ever. It was as though what he just did was something as simple as breathing.

The other three men’s morale crumbled in the face of the frenzied screams. Their eyes darted onto Ye Lingchen’s face.

An expert!

They did not expect that kid to be an expert that was so well hidden!

Each of their faces showed signs of fear and their hearts trembled. However, their polished combat instincts told them that they had to risk everything to take him down.

At the same moment, all three of them initiated an attack on Ye Lingchen!

They attacked from three different directions, forming a triangle. Their bodies were agile as a rabbit but had the strength of a tiger. With a knife-like gaze, they swung their fists at Ye Lingchen’s head!

Against Ye Lingchen, they did not dare let their guards down. They poured all their strength into that fist attack. Even if it could not kill him in one hit, they needed to have Ye Lingchen lose his ability to fight.

As a member of Earth’s Gate, they naturally knew that in times like that, they had to be as ruthless as possible!

Their huge fists stirred up a cold wind in the air, causing a strong current of air to crash against Ye Lingchen’s face.

“Hmph!” Against their attacks, Ye Lingchen stood still. A flash came across his eyes and his lips curled into a haughty smile. In an instant, both his hands raised and swung outwards!

Bang!

His two fists clashed head-on with two of the Earth’s Gate’s members!

Fist against fist!

A thunderous sound erupted and boomed outwards, sending people’s hearts racing.

Crack!

Sounds of cracking bones could be heard following the impact!

The next moment, both of the Earth’s Gate’s members were like duckweed in a pond, flying backward!

The bones in their fists were completely shattered and the force even went all the way up their entire arm!

Skin was torn, bones were shattered. The scene was a mess of blood and gore!

The two of them flew well over ten meters in the air before falling. Veins could be seen popping on their forehead and their eyes were bloodshot. Their face appeared ghastly from pain as they continually gasped for air. As they stared at Ye Lingchen, their eyes were filled with abject terror!

The other person attacked Ye Lignchen’s back instead with a terrifying expression on his face. With a flip of his wrist, an elegant dagger appeared in his hand!

Whoosh!

That dagger was like a venomous snake. Quick as lightning, it struck straight at the back of Ye Lingchen’s head!

In half a second, Ye Lingchen’s head would split apart and his brain matter splattered all over!

That person licked his lips, enjoying the moment.

However, Ye Lingchen’s figure in front of him suddenly shifted, leaping into the air, out of his reach!

A roundhouse kick!

Ye Lingchen turned his body in midair, landing both his feet on that person’s head!

Bang!

The tremendous force behind the kick deformed that person’s face. The bones in his face could be heard cracking. Unable to make a sound, he fell to the floor with a thud and stopped moving!

Silence loomed over the area.

The people from Earth’s Gate were gripped by fear.

“How can he be that strong?”

They stared at Ye Lingchen in disbelief. In that previous exchange, they felt an indescribable strength, as though smashing an egg against a rock.

That was beyond a human’s strength!

That pressure was beyond what they felt from their leader.

‘He’s so young. How can he obtain such terrifying strength?’

The time Ye Lingchen delved into martial arts was actually quite short. However, his proficiency in them were all raised to 100 percent proficiency!

That was equivalent to a rookie obtaining the best martial arts technique. It would drastically increase the training’s efficiency.

For an average person to learn Kungfu, they had to start from the basic moves. Moreover, the inaccuracy of those moves would lead to a very low rate of improvement.

On the other hand, Ye Lingchen had no such issues. His theoretical knowledge was immediately perfect. Not only was he learning advanced moves, each of his practices was hundreds of times more effective than others. Naturally, that led to his quick progress.

Furthermore, the Arhat Fist that he trained had generated a sliver of qi in his fists. It helped develop his arm strength and power. To teach them a lesson was as simple as breathing.

Lin Ruoyu remained stunned from the very beginning. At that time her eyes were wide opened, stupidly staring at Ye Lingchen.

“You… you’re that strong?!”

She was covering her mouth, her eyes turning watery, filled with surprise.

She knew that Ye Lingchen knew martial arts and was good at it. However, she had no way of knowing the full extent of his strength. She had always thought that Ye Lingchen was only slightly stronger than the average martial artist, never expecting him to be at such a level.

Those four were silver ranked members of Earth’s Gate, and they were defeated by Ye Lingchen in just a few exchanges?

It was like a dream!

Ye Lingchen did not speak. Instead, he sent the bald man in front of him flying with a kick. Following that, the others from Earth’s Gate were given similar treatment. He knocked them all out, completely incapacitating them and made sure they were incapable of escaping.

Ye Lingchen had witnessed their viciousness. A wise man foresees and mitigates risks. He would try his best to eliminate all potential problems before they come to pass.

“How long more until reinforcements arrive? These people are dangerous. We need to control them properly,” questioned Ye Lingchen.

“Should be soon,” replied Lin Ruoyu.

She let out a sigh of relief, feeling as though she went straight to heaven from hell. “Lingchen, you’ve once again helped my Lin family. I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”

“You’re welcome.” Ye Lingchen smiled nonchalantly.

Right then, a group of birds in the forest hastily took flight.

They were rushing away as though scared of something.

“Chirp chirp chirp chirp!”

A string of bird calls triggered a feeling of unease in them.

However, these bird calls caused Ye Lingchen’s heart despair. In his ears, that was the bird’s language!

“Fellow birds, run away quickly, someone is coming! He’s holding a gun!”

“Fly away, someone is out killing birds!”

‘Gun!?’

Ye Lingchen’s heart trembled, an ominous feeling washed over him.

Without time to think further, he rushed sideways and grabbed Lin Ruoyu along, falling onto the ground and started rolling away!

Pfft!

At the same time, a low muffled sound could be heard. Something left a hole on the ground and stirred up some dust!

There was a sniper with a silencer nearby!

Ye Lingchen’s heart pounded crazily.

If not for his quick reflexes, either him or Lin Ruoyu would have been shot!

The sudden hug from Ye Lingchen had startled Lin Ruoyu. She blushed and felt like a little deer was running about in her heart.

However, the sound of the gunshot that followed helped her realize the reason for Ye Lingchen’s actions. She laid in Ye Lingchen’s arms with a flushed face, feeling both worried and sweet at the same time.

Both of them held onto each other tightly as they rolled on the floor, not daring to pause for a moment.

That sniper would wait for another chance to shoot!

Ye Lingchen tried his best to control his breathing and rolled for cover under a small mound with Lin Ruoyu…
