I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 318 One Fist Breaks Mountains and Rivers!

“Looks like you’re still not convinced.” Ye Lingchen made a come-hither movement at the burly man and smiled. “Come!”

“HUFF!”

The burly man yelled loudly and his voice was thunderous. His face was dignified and he lowered his body. His hands formed claws, and his muscles tensed up into a line. He was not going to be careless again!

Once his legs stepped on the ground, his body leaned forward and he launched at him!

He placed his claws in front and brandished them rapidly, directing it toward Ye Lingchen’s chest!

“Good move!”

Ye Lingchen’s eyes lit up and he raised his claws as well. Claw against claw, Ye Lingchen exchanged repeated blows with the burly man. No matter how fast the man’s attack was, Ye Lingchen could easily push it away.

In an instant, both their hands had delivered 20 blows to each other. Li Hu and the others only saw blurry afterimages and heard a roar from the wind. They could clearly sense the danger although they were only mere onlookers.

Such claw techniques were the most dangerous. They were extremely fast and very destructive too. If one was not careful, a huge crater would be left on one’s body.

“How could his claw technique be so strong? The strength of both his hands is too great!”

Claw techniques were a very powerful branch of techniques, but it also made it incredibly difficult to train. The sum of its demands on a person was very harsh, especially with the ten fingers. It took a lot of pain to achieve such success, but a person as young as Ye Lingchen could already have such great claw skills.

The more blows were exchanged, the more shocked the burly man’s heart was. His hands trembled slightly due to the vibrations of the shock.

‘His ten fingers are harder than my own and his strength is far better than mine!’

The burly man’s heart sank deeper and deeper.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen’s heart was getting bigger and more excited. Ever since he first learned martial arts, it was the first time someone could actually keep up with him for so long. The burly man could be considered to have reached a level where he was Ye Lingchen’s warm-up, leaving the latter with an indescribable joy throughout his entire body.

Moreover, Ye Lingchen had just learned the Dragon-Catcher Hand, albeit not fully mastered yet. It was such a coincidence that he could encounter a claw master whom he could try the technique against.

‘This kid’s physical fitness is stronger than my own, but his moves are a bit strange! I need to attack quickly and make quick decisions!’

In an instant, the burly man already had a plan in his heart. His body leaned to the side a little and he pulled away from Ye Lingchen.

“Cage-Escaping Tiger, Heart-Ripping Claw!”

The burly man’s body seemed to tremble slightly as his face swelled red.

In the dark of night, his hands seemed to be covered with hazy steam.

The next moment, he did not wait for Ye Lingchen to make any preparations. His body immediately rushed forth like a cheetah!

Ye Lingchen’s body flickered slightly and the burly man’s claw sliced across a tree beside him. Rip! A crisp tearing sound ensued, and a large chunk was taken out of the half-meter-wide tree. The tree trunk’s fragments flew in all directions. It was truly a horrifying sight.

The scene was like the Dragon-Catcher Hand seen in martial arts television shows. Those claws appeared to be indestructible—a light swipe was sufficient to leave a hole in the tree and an iron rod might even bend as a result.

“It’s inner force!”

Sergeant Gao’s pupils contracted to the extreme, like the eye of a needle. His voice was trembling too.

Inner force martial artists were extremely rare even within the Warrior’s Department. They were all worried whether Ye Lingchen could handle it.

“So, this is your trump card eh? It’s just some inner force.”

Ye Lingchen smiled, but he turned his claws into fists that looked rather ordinary.

“Arhat Fist Force!”

The last time he exerted his Arhat Fist Force, he was able to pierce a boulder through the air and kill a marksman. At that time, he had just cultivated the Arhat Fist Force. Presently however, the fist strength in his body was stronger and the person he faced was a martial artist.

“Even if it’s just a hint of inner force, it’s still going to be easy to kill you!” said the burly man coldly. He was confident. The difference between one who had inner force and one who did not was tremendous—it was equivalent to an empty-handed person facing someone who wielded a gun.

The movement of Ye Lingchen’s fist compressed the air around him quickly. A fierce gust of wind then came crashing against the burly man.

The burly man felt a sense of panic. He had no time to think properly about it and retreated immediately.

Boom!

The trees in the distance were punched away one after another before falling onto the ground.

“What kind of technique was that?!”

The burly man was nearly scared to death. His face paled and his whole body could not stop shaking.

He thought that his first mistake was a result of carelessness, but Ye Lingchen’s punch completely destroyed his confidence.

The only thing the burly man could see was his entire right hand mutilated and mangled. Blood flowed down his arm in a steady stream, and if he had not ceased his attack and escaped in time, his whole body might look the same way too.

Li Hu, Sergeant Gao, and the others were dumbfounded. Even Xu Nan could not help but cover her mouth.

“This... Is he still human?”

They gulped and their voices were trembling.

Prior to that, they still lived in the world of ordinary people, believing that taekwondo masters and judo masters were already masterly enough. There were martial artists in the Warrior’s Department, while legends of inner force martial artists were also heard, but never did anyone ever imagine that they would be that strong.

That punch was exactly like a bulldozer, capable of destroying everything.

The burly man’s expressions had been completely replaced by horror. He lost all courage to face Ye Lingchen and turned to flee!

“Running away?”

Ye Lingchen sneered, his legs carried him forward like monkeys shuttling through the woods.

“Eight Extremities Fist, Iron Mountain Smash!”

He soon caught up with the easy-to-deal-with burly man. He arched his body before ramming the burly man with his back!

Boom!

The burly man’s body immediately flew through the air like a dandelion seed. He hit the tree straight on and became unconscious.

Ye Lingchen clapped his hands as if he was simply doing a mundane action. He smiled faintly at the stunned crowd and said, “All done, pack up!”

“Ah, Master, you’re so handsome!”

Xu Nan screamed and immediately threw herself on Ye Lingchen. She hugged him and was super excited. Her mood that night could aptly be compared to a roller coaster, going up and down at random intervals.

“All right, calm down, men and women should not touch hands when they give or receive things.” Ye Lingchen smiled.

“Nooooooo! You’re my master!” Xu Nan hugged Ye Lingchen with glimmering eyes. “Master, you’re biased. Why didn’t you teach me the claw technique. Such a powerful punch is just too cool! I don’t care, you must teach me.”

The thought of Ye Lingchen’s techniques made her heart thump and her face flush. “Master, I want you to know you’re the real superman! Superman Y might even be less powerful than you!”

As for Sergeant Gao and the others, their gazes toward Ye Lingchen’s had been completely replaced with awe. They even had a hint of envy in their hearts when they looked at Xu Nan. Would she still need to worry about practicing Kungfu in the future if she had a master as powerful as him?

Their shallow mindset was laughable. They thought that Ye Lingchen was a liar.

They became even more ashamed as they thought of Ye Lingchen saving them all. They said to him, “Thank you for your kindness in helping us, Grandmaster Ye.”
