I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 537 Embarrassmen

“Doubts?” Ye Lingchen’s eyes glimmered. Lin Ao was being tactful, but he could tell that many doubted him!

However, it could not be helped. He had never been to the Warrior’s Department, and a lot of them had never even seen his face. Who knew if the merits he had were truly his?

“Brother Ye, Lower-Class Guardian is not the same as Lower-Class Warrior. It’s a sensitive position that requires strict assessment. Actually, I’d like to extend an invitation to you.” Lin Ao stated straightforwardly. “Soon, the four special training camps of the Warrior’s Department will be gathered here. Why don’t you pick a time and come by for a visit? It’s quite simple. You only need to show up and prove yourself.”

Lin Ao felt that the matter was very simple. After all, Ye Lingchen’s capabilities were real. Others might not know it, but he knew it full well.

“Sure!”

Ye Lingchen cut straight to the point. “No need to pick a time. Let’s make it tomorrow. The earlier the better.”

“Sure, we’ll do that then. I’ll notify my grandfather right now. I’ll pick you up tomorrow!” Lin Ao felt excited.

Ye Lingchen was surprised. From what Lin Ao said, it seemed that their grandfather was going as well?

After that, he chatted a little more with Lin Ao before ending the call.

As for the next day’s matter, he was not worried at all. A martial artist would definitely speak with their martial arts. Proving himself was merely convincing dissension with might. To him, that was nothing to worry about.

Right then, Ye Lingchen finally realized that night had fallen. Learning was truly able to make someone forget about the time. One day passed just like that. However, his gains were plentiful.

Ye Lingchen was very satisfied.

Not just that, but he also realized that his popularity points were going up almost every second.

It was coincidentally iPartment’s broadcasting time.

The impact of a TV series was limited, therefore the popularity points it provided would not increase explosively in one go. However, it was a steady and continuous source. Overall, it provided a significant impact.

During iPartment’s initial broadcast the previous day, its TV ratings exceeded 2. That gave everyone a shock. Moreover, after a day to build up the hype, more and more people started paying attention to this TV series. By his estimation, that day’s TV ratings would be another explosive one!

‘Recently, the speed of my popularity points’ growth is getting more significant. If this keeps up, it won’t be far til I can get an advanced skill upgrade!’

The next day...

After notifying Zhang Yunxi and the others, Ye Lingchen got into Lin Ao’s SUV and dashed straight toward the Warrior’s Department!

Within Capital City, the Warrior’s Department had several dozen outposts and around 10 branches. As for the headquarters, there was only one!

Unlike Ye Lingchen’s expectation, the headquarters was not located in some deserted suburbs. It was by no means hidden. Lin Ao was driving all the way toward the city center.

Finally, the car pulled into a building with approximately 30 floors. This building seemed no different from a regular office building. In fact, it was just a very ordinary office building.

The car drove on slowly. At a corner, the wall suddenly shook and revealed a tunnel leading them underground.

Entering the basement, the scenery changed drastically. The surrounding walls were completely white. High-tech equipment could be seen everywhere, giving off a grand impression with a glance.

As the car drove through the tunnel, they were scanned by an array of infrared sensors and other high-tech beams. Moreover, along their entire journey, they were under surveillance from all angles!

The underground space was huge. Ye Lingchen was unsure of how big an area was cleared off for this. The area looked as though it was a hidden underground world.

The scenery further reinforced Ye Lingchen’s determination to buy his own island. Once he had his island, he must make it a hundred times better than this place!

After parking the car, Lin Ao acted as the tour guide and led Ye Lingchen out of the car.

Quite a few people had their eyes on Ye Lingchen, measuring him up curiously.

“Brother Ye, this is the Warrior’s Department’s headquarters in Capital City. It can also be considered as training grounds. Let me show you around.” Lin Ao introduced. “Under normal circumstances, if there were any important matters to discuss, it would be carried out here. Moreover, if there were any challenges or competitions, it would be carried out here as well. Other than that, criminal imprisonment, interrogations, secret documents storage, and many other things are done here too.”

Ye Lingchen nodded. He scanned the area and noticed that everyone here was a martial artist with decent abilities!

“Those that made it here had at least taken part in the special training camps,” Lin Ao added. “Blue Wolf, Coiled Dragon, Ferocious Tiger, and Hunting Eagle. The four special training camps are here for the matter of Amaterasu Genetics. We’re also taking this chance to go through some position adjustments.”

They talked while on the move, and very quickly, arrived at a room.

It was a spacious training room. Looking around, it looked similar to a gym. However, the equipment was totally different!

Moreover, the wall was printed with two lines of words. “The more you sweat, the less you bleed!”

For some reason, Ye Lingchen felt a little awkward when he saw those words.

A group of martial artists was huddled together in a heated discussion.

“Brother Tiger, do your best. Crush him!”

“Brother Rhino, put in more strength! It’s just a little bit more!”

In the group, two martial artists were moving a huge slab of rock. That rock looked huge, but the weight could be adjusted. On its top was an indicator showing that both of them reached a weight of 100kg!

Finally, the one called Brother Tiger held out for a longer time and achieved victory. He was immediately met with booing sounds.

“Brother Lin, you’re finally here.” Right then, someone noticed Lin Ao. Following that, they also noticed Ye Lingchen. All their eyes glimmered as they looked at him, judging quietly.

They had more or less heard some rumors and knew who Lin Ao was picking up.

Martial artists who managed to go through the four special training camps were quite strong. Each of them had their pride. Although they have heard of Ye Lingchen’s legends, that was the first time they saw him in person!

“You must be Ye Lingchen. I’ve long heard of your great name. I’ve also heard that you’re a celebrity. Nice to meet you.” The victorious Brother Tiger with a bulky body stood up and greeted Ye Lingchen.

However, he heavily emphasized on the word celebrity. His tone was a little condescending, charged with sarcasm.

To these martial artists, celebrities were looked down upon and were equated with tastelessness and sissies.

“I’ve been told of your legendary feats, but this is my first time seeing you in person. That was an embarrassing moment. I hope our performance is acceptable to you,” Rhino chimed in, similarly sarcastic.

“Unacceptable.”

Such a simple and straightforward answer was beyond their expectations. It caused the smile on their faces to lock in place as they wondered if they had misheard.

“Although I don’t want to hurt your pride, your performance was truly an embarrassment. Perhaps...it could not even be considered an embarrassment...”
