I Am A Prodigy
chapter-543

Chapter 543 Out of Control, An Unforeseen Situation No one knew that Liu Quan was asleep at the door of the toilet. He frowned from time to time and his body twitched as if he was having a nightmare.For a while, everyone was silent because the ring was empty.

“This…”

Qin Baichuan’s expressions immediately became unhappy.

It was such a coincidence that one of them ran away and the other went to the bathroom without coming back for a long time.

“Reporting!”

At that moment, Zheng Yu spoke while still with his team.

“Speak.”

“Reporting, Sir! I’d like to be Ye Lingchen’s assessment instructor!” Zheng Yu said with a solemn expression.

“Oh?” Qin Baichuan and the others all looked at Zheng Yu. “Reason?”

“I’m unconvinced by him!”

Zheng Yu spoke in a way that was neither domineering nor deferential, but his voice was very cold. “I don’t deny Ye Lingchen’s military achievements, but I can’t determine a person’s position based on achievements alone. I’ve never seen Ye Lingchen’s martial art abilities before. I’m not the only one. Many people in the Warrior’s Department have never actually seen Ye Lingchen in action. Also, I believe that his character is too thuggish. He thinks he’s better than everyone else and he’s arrogant!”

“I’m unconvinced by him so I must challenge him!”

Zheng Yu’s words could be said to have touched the hearts of many warriors, and everyone voiced their agreement at once.

Prestige was needed to convince the public.

However, it was inevitably an uphill task for Ye Lingchen to convince everyone because he was a newcomer to the Warrior’s Department.

Qin Baichuan’s face turned rather serious. “Approved! You may step into the ring.”

Zheng Yu was a fully qualified Middle-Class Sentinel. The reasons he furnished were sufficiently adequate, otherwise the other warriors would be unconvinced too, not just Qin Baiquan.

Zheng Yu stepped onto the ring, glanced at everyone below, and said proudly, “Ye Lingchen, do you dare to fight?!”

“F*ck, does Chief Zheng have any beef with Ye Lingchen?”

“Didn’t you know? The last time Chief Zheng saw Ye Lingchen, he felt that Ye Lingchen was someone who looked impressive but had no substance. It just so happened that he could not make a move at that point. This time, he’s clearly planning to teach Ye Lingchen a lesson.”

“I heard about this too. Ye Lingchen calls out everyone that he meets. I think he called out Chief Zheng the last time and the two opposed each other with equal harshness.”

“It’s not surprising then, but it’s such a pity that Ye Lingchen ran away, otherwise we can witness Chief Zheng teach him how to be a man.”

“Chief Zheng came up step-by-step from the bottom up. He went through genuine hardships, so it’s only natural that he could not stand people who cheat and walk through the back door.”

“Ye Lingchen and Lin Ao are brothers. I’m not sure if we can say that they walked through the back door!”

“Those who hold on to their principles are superior in their morality. I never expected such a sentence to come from such a thuggish person.”

“It’s not like you’ve never seen that guy’s mouth. It shouldn’t be surprising if he said such things.”

“That’s right. If pretentiousness and a sharp tongue proved to be lethal, that guy will probably be invincible in this world now!”

“It’s a pity that he ran away after no longer being able to keep up with his pretentiousness…”

…

“Ye Lingchen, I know that you’re still in the Warrior’s Department. Come forth if you’re a man!” Zheng Yu shouted again.

However, there was only silence.

Everyone shook their heads, but Lin Ao, Wu Yue, and the others were getting fidgety.

“Reporting, Sir! Something must’ve delayed Ye Lingchen. Please give him some time,” Lin Ao could not help but stand up and say.

“He was here. What else could delay him?” Qin Baichuan frowned and looked at Lin Ao with some disappointment. Lin Ao’s increasing interceding made Qin Baichuan feel as if something fishy was going on.

“Chief Qin, I can vouch that Ye Lingchen is a real talent,” Fang Hong chimed in.

He was an Upper-Class Sentinel whose words carried more weight.

However…

Qin Baichuan snorted coldly. “It’s useless for you to vouch for him.”

“Ye Lingchen, you shrank your head like a turtle! Are you brave enough to come out and fight?!” Zheng Yu burst out again and looked a little frustrated.

Everyone continued shaking their heads and with contempt in their eyes.

It was true, then! The guy just ran away.

Boom!

At that moment, a huge explosion was heard, shocking the entire Warrior’s Department. Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

“It came from the laboratory,” Lin Tianxiong said solemnly.

A small group of warriors had already rushed there without needing to be told.

Boom!

Another loud noise was heard, though it was accompanied by a scream.

Two figures were seen to sail through the air from a distance, and they then fell heavily in front of everyone’s eyes. Multiple fractures appeared throughout their bodies and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

“It escaped! The subject is out of control!”

A medical staff stumbled and ran out with a panicked expression on his face, and began shouting anxiously.

Crash!

The glass in the laboratory shattered.

Thud, thud, thud!

The next moment, a huge humanoid creature two meters tall walked out of the laboratory. For every step it took, a dull sound made everyone’s heart thump.

As soon as everyone saw that figure, their pupils shrank slightly and there was an expression of anger on their faces.

That was because the figure had an extremely horrifying appearance. The aptest description for it was that it had a terrifying hybrid of ferocious fangs and a green face.

“This… HOW?” Lin Ao’s brows wrinkled slightly. It was the first time he saw a human-shaped creature. It was still a human in the culture tank, so how could it become a monster at that time?

His hair had grown a lot, and strangely, its color had turned gray. His entire body’s skin was wrinkled and scales had grown in some places. The most frightening thing was his palm, as his fingers turned slender and his nails became sharp and glowing.

“What the hell is this?” some warriors asked with a trembling voice, mainly because its appearance completely destroyed their worldviews.

“Some of its characteristics seem to be that…of a crocodile.” Someone gulped.

The faces of Qin Baichuan and the others were extremely solemn. They sensed danger—extreme danger—coming from that creature’s body.

Thud, thud, thud!

However, before everyone could react, the creature had already roared and made its way toward everyone.

His appearance at that moment was no different from a beast that lost all rational thought. His mind was filled only with destruction and attack.

“Everyone, let’s attack together!”

Zheng Yu shouted coldly. His eyes lit up and he led the charge to attack the monster!

In his opinion, it should not be too difficult since Ye Lingchen was the one who completed the last mission. The monster was probably just some insignificant little thing, and it would not be that much of a headache to deal with it himself!

Moreover, his mind resonated with the words Ye Lingchen said to him last time… “You guys can’t handle it.”

‘Hehe, is it really possible that we can’t handle it?’

After Zheng Yu rushed out, many warriors also set aside their fears, followed behind, and sprinted out immediately.

Among them, there was no shortage of Middle-Class Sentinels and Upper-Class Sentinels.

“Inner force!”

“Look, even Brother Chong is going forward!”

“Chief Zheng even used his inner force. He actually used all his strength at once!”

“Nonsense, when dealing with such an unknown thing, you can’t be careless from the get-go. It’s best to fight quickly in order to prevent any more changes.”

“From the looks of it, this thing wasn’t active for long, but it’s likely stable now.”
