I Am A Prodigy
chapter-516

Ye Lingchen walked leisurely at a comfortable pace. At his level, he was fully confident in his survival unless the opponent used high explosives.

On the fourth floor, there was only one culture tank. Within it was a huge creature. It looked like a human, but its size was much larger. It had a scary face and its palms were twice the size of a regular person.

Moreover, there was a computer placed beside this culture tank that was constantly monitoring its condition.

For it to be isolated here on the fourth floor, that thing was either very strong or extremely important.

However, unlike the previous three floors, nothing happened to the culture tank all the while. Just as Ye Lingchen was considering whether he should break the culture tank apart, Tsune Takeshi’s voice could be heard.

“Ye Lingchen, we’re waiting for you on the fifth floor. Do you dare to come up?!” His voice was filled with confidence. It was akin to that of a beast’s confidence while toying with its prey.

Ye Lingchen remained silent. It would be best for him to meet them in person.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and headed for the fifth floor.

Tap, tap, tap!

The footsteps approached slowly.

Tsune Takeshi and the others held their breath as they stared intently at the entrance.

Elder Hiroshi, instead, was unfazed. He remained in his seat and was enjoying a cup of tea.

“10 more seconds!”

Tsune Takeshi could already vaguely see Ye Lingchen’s outline. The edge of his lips curled upward, forming an evil grin as he started counting down internally.

The others were doing the same, counting down internally. The way they looked at Ye Lingchen started to change to one of sympathy and condescension.

Based on the arrogant look as he walked up the stairs, that brat most likely did not even realize that he was poisoned. He had already lost control over his life and death. How sad.

Ye Lingchen set foot on the fifth floor. Before he could even speak up, everyone on the fifth floor was shouting at the same time.

“Three!”

“Two!”

“One!”

Apart from Elder Hiroshi, there were a total of six people shouting passionately.

After the voices calmed down, everyone watched Ye Lingchen with rapt attention.

As for Ye Lingchen, he was staring back at those people as though he was looking at some morons.

‘Hm?’

‘Why the lack of reaction? Could the venom have expired?’

Everyone was flabbergasted. They turned their attention to Elder Hiroshi, their eyes filled with confusion.

Smack!

Elder Hiroshi was seemingly slapped in the face by an invisible hand, causing his old cheeks to stiffen up.

“How can you be fine?!” He glared at Ye Lingchen as he asked with a slightly shrill voice. The repeated face slapping he experienced fueled the rage within him. His anger erupted as his hatred for Ye Lingchen reached its peak.

“Oh, you’re talking about the poison?” Ye Lingchen gave the old man a look, then broke into a charming smile. However, his voice was filled with killing intent. “I’m sorry, but I’m immune to poison!”

“Hehe, that’s fine too. My interest in your body is growing stronger!” Elder Hiroshi regained his composure as he evaluated Ye Lingchen. “You’re not half bad, being able to have such mastery over martial arts at such a young age. Truly a genius. It’s too bad that you’re just too arrogant.”

Ye Lingchen observed his performance quietly without saying a word.

Elder Hiroshi then continued, “However, geniuses are the most worthless bunch in my eyes! I’ve placed over 100 brains of geniuses in my lab! I’ve lived long enough in this world to be considered a legend. If I fight you, it might make it look like I’m bullying you. That’s why I’ve prepared for a way out of this for you! You just need to kowtow while admitting your mistakes and sincerely beg for my forgiveness. After that, you can volunteer yourself to be my test subject. Only then I’ll let you live!”

Ye Lingchen kept his silence. He continued to look at the boatful Elder Hiroshi while moving forward.

Elder Hiroshi’s brows twitched. He felt that Ye Lingchen was being very disrespectful and bellowed angrily, “It’s an achievement for you to face me. I’m letting you live because I treasure talents. Don’t try to provoke me!”

His response was met with silence. Since Ye Lingchen had finally found the mastermind, he preferred to let his actions do the talking!

Very soon, Ye Lingchen was already standing in front of Elder Hiroshi!

Feeling the oppressive aura coming from Ye Lingchen, Tsune Takeshi had already quietly distanced himself.

Without sparing any words, Ye Lingchen lifted his hand and started with a fist straight away!

That first was not fanciful. It was just pure brute strength!

His strong body paired with the gathering Arhat’s Fist Force caused that fist’s strength to be over 2500kgs of force!

Furthermore, the Arhat’s Fist Force was inherently much stronger in destructive power than a regular fist, giving his fist an explosive power!

As an example, if it were a regular fist, even a force of 2500kgs would at most blow a boulder away. However, when coupled with inner force, it would blow that boulder to pieces!

Such destructive power was akin to high explosives. It was absolutely terrifying!

Wheeeeew!

A strong wind blew past!

Faced with Ye Lingchen’s fist, Elder Hiroshi, who was still enjoying his tea, had a sudden change in expression!

He felt a terrifying oppressive force—one that carried with it the sense of death. How many years has it been since he last felt such an oppressive feeling?

In fact, he felt his breathing became labored, as though the air around him were being compressed by that one fist, therefore solidifying it. Right after that, it exploded on him. Before the fist reached him, the air currents caused by that fist were cutting into his face like a shape blade.

In the blink of an eye, Elder Hiroshi’s face turned pale as fear took over. His eyes narrowed, never expecting Ye Lingchen to attack straight away, much less expecting him to pull off such a strong fist in such a short period of time. That was way beyond his expectations.

However, he was an experienced man with decent abilities after all. He managed to quickly suppress the fear in his heart and raised his fist to meet the attack!

Under such circumstances, he could not retreat, nor could he afford to. Meeting the attack was the only way to get him out of this!

Only

His fist may seem like a hurried attempt to meet his enemy, but the power behind it was extraordinary as well. His scrawny arm that resulted from his advanced age was suddenly filled with energy!

Nevertheless, due to various factors, that fist was seriously insufficient when compared to Ye Lingchen’s fist!

The next instant…

Bang!

A thunderous boom came forth. The entire building seemed to be shaking. The epicenter of the clash even caused strong winds blasting outwards to the surrounding area. The screens of the computers around them cracked and shredded apart into pieces!

Around them, Tsune Takeshi and the others had a look of disbelief on their faces. They backed off a few steps subconsciously, not daring to look directly at them!

The force from that fist was absolutely terrifying!
