I Am A Prodigy

Twelve martial artists attacked at the same time, forming a formidable assault that was accompanied by roaring winds. Anyone would have to shore up proper defenses in the face of such an assault.

However, the four from Earth’s Gate was indifferent, looking at the rest as though they were a joke.

Just as the twelve men from the Warrior’s Department reached them, the four men reacted at the same time!

The bald man raised his hand to match the blow from a martial artist. A loud crack was heard and the bones in that person’s hand were shattered instantly. Following up with a kick, he was sent flying backward and fell to the floor, remaining deathly still.

Following that, with a creepy laugh, he opened his fist and hit another beside him with his palm. The enormous strength caused that martial artist to tremble throughout his body and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The others were similar. Their attacks were very quick, powerful and extremely ruthless. They annihilated the twelve martial artists!

One minute later, the twelve lay pitifully debilitated on the floor, half-dead.

“The Warrior’s Department’s martial artists sure are useless! Trash!” The bald man laughed, then kicked the martial artist beside him away. He slowly walked up to Ye Lingchen. “I never thought that in just 10 years, your martial arts would have fallen so far back to be in such a sorry state!”

Lin Ruoyu’s face turned slightly pale. “You’re not normal members of the Earth’s Gate!”

“Hehe, how would an average member have the ability to invite Miss Lin? We’re all silver ranked members!” he said in a deep voice that made Lin Ruoyu’s heart fall into despair.

Earth’s Gate’s silver ranked members were equivalent to the martial artists that were enrolled in the four special training camps. One should know that even Lin Ao had merely took part in Coiled Dragon’s training camp but had failed to join Coiled Dragon!

These people were not someone the average martial artist could fight with.

Furthermore, there were four of them!

They were in a nasty situation.

It would be a lie to say that she was unafraid. Lin Ruoyu’s heart was pounded, feeling vulnerable.

Although she had trained with Lin Tianhua from young and her talents were above average, her opponents were from Earth’s Gate! They were silver ranked members at that!

Even Lin Tianhua was injured by Earth’s Gate more than once. She heard her grandfather talk about their menace. If one were to fall into their hands, the outcome could only be described as

dreadful.

Moreover, Ye Lingchen was by her side now. Her grandfather still required his treatment, but Ye Lingchen had to utter those provocative words. These people would never let him go.

‘What can I do?’ Lin Ruoyu was sweat bullets while she panicked.

“Why are you here this time?” Lin Ruoyu asked through gritted teeth.

“You will know in due time.” The bald man walked closer step by step, as though he were a cat toying with its prey. “You don’t have to try buying for time. I have everything under control here. The nearby reinforcements are all lying down here. The others will take at least half an hour to get here.”

“You’re trying to use me as a hostage to get to my grandfather?” A dim flash of realization crossed through Lin Ruoyu’s eyes.

“Hehe, enough of your nonsense.” The bald man stood still, looking down on Ye Lingchen and threatened him, “Little b*stard, do you have anything to say to me now?”

Ye Lingchen kept mum. He had never heard of Earth’s Gate, yet after all that had happened, he felt a chill gripping at his heart, changing his worldview.

Those on the floor were all martial artists. They had high positions, and every one of them was a praiseworthy existence to the average person. Earth’s Gate’s strength was undeniable, but the methods they employed were harrowing!

Twelve martial artists were crushed, leaving them half dead!

Ruthless!

Absolutely cutthroat!

That was his first time witnessing such a cruel world!

“Too scared to talk?” The bald man jeered at Ye Lingchen’s silence.

To him, Ye Lingchen was stupefied with fear, stunned on the spot.

He had witnessed that sort of situation so often that it was an ordinary occurrence to him.

When faced with death, most people would be scared speechless. It was good enough if they did not crap or pee in their pants.

Shaking his head in disappointment, he continued walking towards Ye Lingchen.

“Wait!” Lin Ruoyu was distraught, “I’ll go with you. He has nothing to do with this. Let him leave!”

“Hehe, you have nothing to bargain with me now!” The bald man laughed condescendingly.

Lin Ruoyu’s felt hopeless. In her panic, her breathing had turned jagged. She looked towards Ye Lingchen with her mouth open, as though trying to say something.

However, Ye Lingchen just stood on the spot with his eyes narrowed. Seemingly lost in his thought, he seemed oblivious to the encroaching danger.

The bald man stood about two meters away from Ye Lingchen. His glare was fixated on Ye Lingchen and his expression turned vile.

“Little b*stard. Never had others dared to mock Earth’s Gate. Now it’s time for you to kneel and regret your actions!”

Just as he finished, he extended his hand, grabbing at Ye Lingchen’s shoulder!

His big palm carried frightening strength, as though it was the hand of a grim reaper, announcing Ye Lingchen’s death sentence.

He wanted to shatter Ye Lingchen’s shoulders and break the bones in his legs with that hand, leaving Ye Lingchen in anguish!

One meter, half a meter, one foot…

His hand was not fast, slowly approaching Ye Lingchen, almost at the point of touching his shoulder.

At that instant, the bald man’s lips curled upwards into a vicious smile with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. He could almost see Ye Lingchen begging him on his knees, face filled with hopeless despair.

The other three looked indifferent to the situation. In their eyes, Ye Lingchen was less than a dog.

However—

The next instant, the bald man’s smile froze. His eyes wide in disbelief.

An unimaginable strength had clamped down on his wrist, rendering it unable to move for even an inch!

At the same time, Ye Lingchen who had his head lowered the entire time looked up. Without any warning, his calm gaze seemingly turned into a tsunami!

Cold sweat was forming on the bald man’s forehead.

He could not move his hand, nor had he dared to!

A sense of danger loomed over him from Ye Lingchen. It felt like a mountain was pressing onto him.

There was a deafening silence!

At that moment, it was as though time had stopped!

“Earth’s Gate. Is it that great?”

The calm voice caused the bald man’s pupils to dilate. Filled with absolute fear, goosebumps covered his entire body. He felt that his heart almost jumped out of his body.

“What’s the matter?”

The other three men scowled. That was supposed to be an inconsequential incident. Why the sudden pause?

In their eyes, Ye Lingchen had merely placed his hand on the bald man’s wrist, then all motion stopped.

Was he held back?

No!

That was impossible!

Crack!

The next instant, a clear resounding crack could be heard. The sound drifted into everyone’s ears and echoed in that empty field.

That was definitely the sound of bones breaking.

Where did that sound come from?

Lin Ruoyu was stunned. So were the other three men.

They all looked at Ye Lingchen and the bald man, each showing a different expression.

“What are you doing? Stop wasting time and get rid of that kid!” One of the men blurted impatiently.

The bald man did not reply, or to be more accurate, he was unable to reply.

At that time, the bones in his wrist were like cotton, completely crushed to bits by Ye Lingchen!

His mouth was agape, but the excruciating pain prevented him from making any sound. He could only stare at Ye Lingchen in horror, then fell kneeling to the ground in front of Ye Lingchen…
