I Am A Prodigy

‘Oh f*ck!’

Ye Lingchen’s face turned green and he dashed toward the bathroom like a gust of wind.

There were three urgent reasons for a person to go to the toilet, but that was more than urgent—it was basically trying to kill him!

Cultivation! It was none other than Cultivation! Could it be his bodily refinement? The removal of all useless residue?

As a prodigy, his body had undergone tremendous tempering through thousands of ways. Was there still so much that had to be removed? Did it have to come so violently?

Ye Lingchen had no time to think. He took a deep breath, held it in forcibly until he reached the bathroom door, then rushed in.

“Phew, this feels good…”

Ye Lingchen let out a long sigh of relief. He managed to get in at the last minute, otherwise he would have had to face overwhelming embarrassment.

His brows then wrinkled slightly after that because it was a hell of a stink.

Without a doubt, it was the most stinky smell he had ever smelled and it was extremely pungent.

“F*CK! IT F*CKING SMELLS!”

There was an angry curse coming from next door, followed by a rustling noise that sounded extremely desperate. All of a sudden, it became quiet.

Ye Lingchen guessed that the guy had probably fainted after being unable to control himself.

He then took a look at himself. Aside from his stomach, the pores all over his body were emitting black impurities. Those impurities were also extremely smelly, and they were all grayish-black. At a glance, those who saw it would feel disgusted.

However, through those layers of impurities, Ye Lingchen felt his skin turn white. It was a white that was beyond white—like white jade. It would no doubt elicit looks of envy from many women if he went out.

“F*ck me, the body of a celestial. I have the body of a celestial and I look like a heavenly emperor!”

Ye Lingchen yelled and felt that he was shedding himself.

His skin was not the sole organ changing—his bones and internal organs were also squirming. Clearly, similar changes were taking place. He was breathing and so were the pores on his body. The vitality of heaven and earth cleansed his body time and time again.

After walking out of the bathroom, it came as no surprise that the comrade next to Ye Lingchen fainted on the ground with a look of horror on his face.

Out of the kindness of his heart, Ye Lingchen moved him out of the bathroom before running straight toward the swimming pool.

He was covered in dirt and a thorough cleaning was needed.

The instant he dived into the water, Ye Lingchen could not resist letting out an invigorated grunt. Like a fish in the water, he shot from one end of the swimming pool directly to the other end without too much movement at an absolutely terrifying speed.

Most importantly, he did not create any waves!

His speed in the water had increased by more than half! Moreover, his perception in the water had also improved tremendously!

Judging from that, his Water Spirit Constitution was undoubtedly a kind of constitution for cultivation. Both aspects complemented each other and were bound to be extremely powerful.

Ye Lingchen made that conjecture in his heart, and at the same time, he carefully looked at the water in front of him and felt as though the other side was calling him.

The water currents rubbed on his body like babies being coquettish after leaving home to meet their relatives.

‘Hmm?’

Ye Lingchen unknowingly spread out his palms and faced it toward the water.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A small ball protruded from the water surface.

Ye Lingchen tried to move the palm of his hand back and forth as well as left and right—the small ball followed along in the water.

AWESOME!

Water control?!

Ye Lingchen took a breath. If he progressed deeper into cultivation, would it mean that he could overturn rivers and seas with just his hands?

Sure enough, nothing was impossible! He just never expected the system to be…so awesome!

At the same time.

Inside the challenge room.

Four out of eight people had completed their promotion. All four showed great martial arts skills, eliciting fascination and admiration from all the martial artists.

The old man slowly stepped forward and announced the fifth person.

“Ye Lingchen, Upper-Class Warrior, has completed many tasks, all of which were large-scale. He has made great contributions to the people and country. Coupled with his excellent strength, he is hereby promoted two levels higher and is now Middle-Class Sentinel!”

WHOA!

Everyone was shocked that he could be promoted from Upper-Class Warrior directly to Middle-Class Sentinel. The gap between those two positions was huge and could be regarded as completely unprecedented!

“F*ck! That guy is directly promoted to Middle-Class Sentinel? How?”

“Hey, he already thinks he’s the sh*t even though he’s an Upper-Class Warrior. Won’t he continue to sh*t on us after becoming a Middle-Class Sentinel?”

“How and why? He definitely has someone powerful backing him. I’ve never seen him in action, even until now.”

“Yeah, a rascal like him. Won’t he discredit our Warrior’s Department if he becomes a Middle-Class Sentinel?”

…

The group of warriors was indignant. They began discussing amongst themselves and pointed their fingers at Ye Lingchen.

Then, they realized that Ye Lingchen was gone!

“Huh? Where is that guy?”

“I guess he must’ve run away because he was afraid of going into the ring.”

“It makes sense. Hahaha! He probably didn’t know that you have to get in the ring when you’re promoted, right? He’s exposed now.”

“Hehe, paper can’t hold up to fire and fake things can’t be real. This guy either got lucky in his tasks, or someone is helping him!”

“Hahaha, let’s see how smug that kid still is. He used to mock us so openly before and it’s infuriating!”

“Yeah, he just stops short of turning up his nose at us. I really thought he was an amazingly skilled person.”

“Looks like it turned out to be just slapstick. It’s all a farce!”

…

Suddenly, the entire challenge room became lively. It was enveloped in constant discussion about Ye Lingchen, and everyone was especially gossipy and excited when they heard that Ye Lingchen had run away.

Lin Ao was also dumbfounded and he reached out to touch the empty space beside him. ‘Damn it! Where is he?’

“Wu Yue, the idol you worship doesn’t look cut out for it, does he? Did he run away?” one of the warriors said to Wu Yue.

“Impossible! Chief Ye is more than capable. Why would he run away?” Wu Yue looked around and frowned.

“Well, since he disappeared on such an important occasion, what else could he have done if he didn’t run?”

“Sigh, Wu Yue. I think it’s very likely that you were fooled by him. In fact, that guy doesn’t actually have any capability at all.”

Wu Yue shook his head and said confidently, “Even though I don’t know what the reason is, Chief Ye is very strong. I can’t withstand one round in his hands.”

Those warriors with Wu Yue’s group were also puzzled. Fang Hong frowned slightly too as he searched for Ye Lingchen’s figure.

On the stage, Qin Baichuan and the others looked at each other.

They watched Ye Lingchen run away, but they did not expect him not to come back after so long. Did he make a run for it, then?

“Let’s get the examiner to come onstage first. According to the regulations, if Ye Lingchen fails to come to the stage on time, it will be treated as forfeiture and disqualification!” Qin Baichuan said.

The noise stopped.

Lin Tianxiong opened his mouth and said nothing.

Nothing could be accomplished if there were no rules. No one was given an exception in the Warrior’s Department!

“Examiner, Middle-Class Sentinel, Liu Quan. Come onstage!” the old man continued.

However, no one stepped up even after some time.

“What the hell? The examiner’s gone too?”

There was another commotion in the audience and everyone was confused.

“Reporting, Sir! Liu Quan seems to have gone to the bathroom!”
