I Am A Prodigy

Everybody’s eyes narrowed.

The youth’s face darkened, and his eyes glinted dangerously.

“Do you have any idea who you’re messing with?”

The youth’s fists were held against Ye Lingcheng’s chest, his body curled up, slightly lowered, taking up the stance of a hungry tiger stalking its prey.

If Ye Lingchen made any sudden moves, he could settle it in one move.

“I entered the Warrior’s Association Training Department at 16, at 17 I was the Kickboxing champion of the Department. I have no time to entertain you today. If we were under usual circumstances, do you think you’d still be standing?” The youth’s aura was astounding.

“Now, do you still want to enter?”

“Really? I’d like to try.”

Ye Lingchen’s face did not change, and he lunged forward.

“Do you have a death wish?”

The youth’s fists doggedly pushed against Ye Lingchen’s chest, refusing to let him advance.

In the next moment, Ye Lingchen’s other leg was past the main entrance. He turned his body slightly, his chest still sticking to the youth’s fists, and he slid forward fiercely.

Bang!

Their shoulders connected!

The youth was immediately knocked back, his feet pattering as he fell back three paces.

In the villa, everyone had stopped what they were doing, and looked at Ye Lingchen seriously.

“So you’ve had some practice, to dare to be so reckless!”

The youth lifted his hands and patted down his shoulders to shake off imaginary dust. Following that, he took up a fighting stance against Ye Lingchen.

“Brother, what are you doing? Ye Lingchen is my friend!” Lin Ruoyu couldn’t help but say.

“You, step aside!” The youth pointed at Lin Ruoyu.

Lin Ruoyu’s mother immediately stepped forward and dragged her away.

“I never hit an unnamed person, name yourself!” The youth said to Ye Lingchen.”

“I am Ye Lingchen!”

“Remember, my name is Lin Ao!”

As the words left his mouth, Lin Ao’s body flew through the air, rotating while airborne, and throwing a kick at Ye Lingchen.

His body was lithe, but his kick was savage.

When facing a kick like this, most people could do nothing but evade.

However, if Ye Lingchen were to evade this, he would be opening himself up to Lin Ao’s flurry of blows, and he would be taken out quickly.

Ye Lingchen stood his ground, he could already feel the rush of air from the oncoming kick brushing against his face.

In the next moment, he had also lifted his leg.

It was fast as lightning.

With a high kick, his pencil-straight leg connected with Lin Ai’s flying kick!

Bang!

With a bone-snapping sound, Lin Ao’s body flew backward and he landed heavily on the ground.

How could this be?

The entire household, once completely apathetic were now captivated.

They were shocked at Ye Lingchen’s power.

Lin Ao lay on the ground, looking at Ye Lingchen, his face pale, his expression showing his disbelief.

He had entered the Warrior’s Association Training Department at 16, because he had been training since he was young, he had quickly made a name for himself. He was now 25, and every year he was the kickboxing champion. He had now taken up a position in the department as a trainer, and was recognized as an elite fighter at a young age!

The Warrior’s Association Training Department’s full name was the Warrior’s Association Training Department. It existed in a special position, and held considerable influence. Once one entered into it, they had to endure training of untold brutality. Every single member was an elite within the elite.

Those who entered the Warrior’s Association Training Department was a warrior, and only those of the highest physical state could qualify to enter!

Regardless of whether it was close-quarter combat or marksmanship, they were the best.

According to the accolades one obtained, they were separated into Warrior, Guardian, and General!

Each rank was subdivided into Upper, Middle, and Lower classes.

Lin Ao was an Upper Class Warrior, his accolades were many!

However, he had been defeated!

“You aren’t at my level to challenge me.” Ye Lingchen shook his head, seemingly disappointed.

By the analysis of the Prodigy System, whether it was Arhat Fist or Eight Extremities Fist, his proficiency was already at 100%, he did not even know what his limits were. He had thought that he had found a worthy opponent, but as it turned out Lin Ao could not even land a blow.

“I was just careless, this isn’t over! Watch this!”

Lin Ao stood up with difficulty. He showed a stiffness that wasn’t there before. He clenched his fists, and charged towards Ye Lingchen.

The Cavalier’s Fist form of Eight Extremities Fist.

It looked textbook in execution, but the follow up was fluid and could easily transition to another form. Furthermore, it came to Ye Lingchen with full intent to harm.

However, as the fists traveled towards Ye Lingchen, before Lin Ao could switch forms, Ye Lingchen’s hands moved, and easily parried both of Lin Ao’s fists. In the next moment, he had turned, and using his back, slammed heavily into Lin Ao’s torso!

Lin Ao grunted, and he was thrown backward heavily.

“The Iron Mountain Smash of Eight Extremities Fist!”

“You also know Eight Extremities Fist?”

The Lin Family all exclaimed in surprise, as they locked their eyes on Ye Lingchen.

“If I did not learn Eight Extremities Fist, I would not interfere in the old man’s sickness.” Ye Lingchen said.

With that sentence, Ye Lingchen immediately became mysterious and respected. The Lin Family looked at each other, but did not speak.

Ye Lingchen walked to Lin Ao’s side, and held onto his thigh.

“Try and bear it.”

Following that, with a dull click, the dislocated tibia was reset into place.

“My thanks.” Lin Ao looked at Ye Lingchen, his expression tight, “if you were in the Warrior’s Association Training Department, you would have been an undisputed God of War!”

“Where’s the old man?” Ye Lingchen asked in reply.

“This…”

“Brother, he can save Granddad, believe me.” Lin Ruoyu said urgently.

“Ruoyu, stop this nonsense!” at that moment, Lin Shanhe finally spoke.

He looked at Ye Lingchen and continued, “there’s no need to be hasty in this matter. When everyone is here we can speak about it again. For now, I’m sure this young man would not mind taking a seat and resting for a moment.”

Ye Lingchen said nothing, and found a seat for himself.

The Lin Family’s attitude had changed, but it still wasn’t friendly. Nobody paid him any mind, let alone give him a drink of water.

Ten minutes later, a crowd had gathered outside.

This time, the entire Lin Family rose to give the newcomer a warm welcome.

“Grandmaster Jiang, you’re finally here.”

The first person to walk in was an old man in a white robe. His hair was white, but his eyes were bright, his step steady. Behind him was a group of disciples.

Lin Shanhe introduced him of his own accord, “Ruoyu, this is the foremost doctor in Beijing, the renowned President of the Capital Hospital, Grandmaster Jiang.”

“Grandmaster Jiang usually spends his time traveling and is often overseas for exchange programs to gain even more medical knowledge. We even had to invite him to return from America!”

Lin Ruoyu was slightly awed, but very courteously greeted Grandmaster Jiang.

Ye Lingchen looked at the robed man, and realized that his was the person that the Lin Family had placed their hopes on. They let him sit there as a contingency.

“Where is the patient?”

Grandmaster Jiang spoke in a very blunt manner.

“Please follow me.” Lin Shanhe brought Grandmaster Jiang to the second floor.

They were halfway there when Lin Shanhe stopped, and frowned at Lin Ruoyu, “Ruoyu, wait with your friend downstairs.”

“Why? Ye Lingchen can save Granddad too!” Lin Ruoyu said unhappily.

The words had just left her mouth, and the disciples that followed Grandmaster Jiang could not help but chuckle at them.

Grandmaster Jiang raised his eyebrows, “You asked for someone else too?”

“Grandmaster Jiang, the girl is ignorant. He is just some outsider.” Lin Shanhe said helplessly. “We’ve embarrassed ourselves in front of you.”

Grandmaster Jiang appraised Ye Lingchen, and asked curiously, “who did you train with?”

“I have no master.” Ye Lingchen said.

“Then do you have a medical license?”

“No.”

“Then do you have any experience in treating complex illnesses?” Grandmaster Jiang continued to ask, frowning.

Ye Lingchen shook his head in reply.

These three questions, did not yield any worth.

“You have nothing, that what right have you to stand here? Impersonating a doctor, I can call the police and arrest you!” One of the disciples behind Grandmaster Jiang huffed.

“The Lin Family is a great family, who would have known that they can be conned as well.” Someone said.

Lin Shanhe’s face darkened considerably, and he exclaimed at Lin Ruoyu, “Go and escort your friend out of here!”

“No! What if this Grandmaster Jiang can’t heal Granddad?” Lin Ruoyu retorted, her stubbornness unrivaled.

“Lies!”

Lin Shanhe’s facial expressions changed, “Grandmaster Jiang is a well-known expert, and you doubt him?”

“If even my master has no way to treat him, who is he that you would put your hopes in him?”

“It’s fine. Don’t waste time on people like him. We need to treat the patient.”

Grandmaster Jiang waved his hands, and paid Ye Lingchen no mind.

As the crowd arrived at the second floor, and walked to the innermost bedroom. Opening the door, there was a very weird smell in the room.

It did not stink, but it made anyone who smelled it feel uncomfortable.

Lin Tianhua lay in bed, his eyes closed, his mouth slightly agape. His breathing was labored, as though he were constantly out of breath. His eyes were screwed shut, as though even in his sleep he was suffering.

Compared to when Ye Lingchen met him previously, he had lost a lot of weight, and seemed to be on the edge of passing on.

“Granddad…”

Lin Ruoyu’s tears fell once more.

“Grandmaster Jiang, he has been in a coma for 5 days, and has not eaten anything at all.” Lin Shanhe said, his face worried.

Since he had laid eyes on Lin Tianhua, Grandmaster Jiang’s eyebrows had not loosened, and his face was full of worry.

“From the smell in the room, it seems that Grandfather Lin’s sickness if from a malady of the lungs.”

While he spoke, Grandmaster Jiang walked to the bedside, and firstly opened Lin Tianhua’s eyes, then his mouth. Finally, he pressed his hand down on where Lin Tianhua’s lungs should be.

This pressure made Lin Tianhua’s breathing suddenly become more labored, his face started to turn purple, as though he could not catch his breath.

“Grandmaster Jiang, what’s the diagnosis?”

In the room, all eyes were on Grandmaster Jiang.

“Just now I just gently pressed down, and Grandfather Lin had such a large reaction.”

Pausing slightly, Grandmaster Jiang shook his head, “this is proof enough, that Grandfather Lin’s entire respiratory system has been infected, there is not one part of it that is fine.”

Grandmaster Jiang relied on his experience and did not even need any apparatus to make a diagnosis.

“Then… is there a cure?” Lin Shanhe asked.

“There is only one. That’s a lung transplant!” Grandmaster Jiang said slowly, and continued, “however… with the technology we have now, there is no way for us to give him a lung transplant, and even if that were possible, Grandfather Lin is old, and the chances of success are basically zero.”

The lungs were not the same as the other organs. It was not just right now, but even in the future, it was nearly impossible to transplant them.

“What… what does that mean?” Lin Ruoyu asked as she looked directly at Grandmaster Jiang.

“Grandfather Lin’s sickness is beyond the cure of mortals. According to my estimate, he has only 3 days left to live.”

Grandmaster Jiang shook his head, and left nothing to suspense, “in this remaining time, you should all stay by his side, and send him off.”

The entire Lin Family was instantly shocked speechless by this revelation.

“No! Granddad won’t die!” Lin Ruoyu’s reaction was the most excited, and she threw herself on Lin Tianhua’s bed and sobbed.

Lin Ao collapsed to his knees with a crash, his head bowed deeply.

Lin Shanhe’s face was ashen gray, his mouth agape, as he turned to wipe his eyes.

Everyone else’s eyes turned red, their faces filled with despair.

At that moment, a voice spoke within the room.

“For ten million RMB, I’ll save the old man’s life for you!”
