“You didn’t run?”
“You’re still brave enough to show yourself?!”
Lin Ao raised his head and looked at the sign beyond Ye Lingchen. Above it was the swimming pool sign, which was used for warriors to train their underwater abilities.
“You were swimming just now?” Lin Ao’s voice was slightly out of whack.
“Is there a problem?” Ye Lingchen asked bluntly.
‘Is there a problem? Hehe, that question sure is a nice one!’
Thud, thud, thud!
At that moment, the monster was still rushing quickly toward them. Some warriors attempted to stop it but were smacked away mercilessly.
“Brother Ye, be careful! This monster is very powerful! Very powerful!” Lin Ao reminded.
“Little Friend Ye, please lure it away while we figure out a solution here!” Lin Tianxiong said hoarsely.
The monster’s most obvious weakness was that it had a pea brain, but Lin Tianxiong was not expecting Ye Lingchen to defeat that monster. After all, even the five chief instructors were not a match for it, and no matter how strong Ye Lingchen was, he was still only human.
Everyone was injured and caught off-guard, leaving only Ye Lingchen with the strength to fight. As long as Ye Lingchen lured the monster away, they would be much better prepared.
After all, if they could not win using martial arts, they still had state-of-the-art technology.
“It’s okay. I’ll test this monster’s power first.” Ye Lingchen raised his leg and advanced.
Lin Ao was immediately taken aback and quickly grabbed Ye Lingchen. “Brother Ye, this isn’t the time for jokes. This monster is very abnormal. Don’t be careless!”
Ye Lingchen said calmly, “Oh. I’m just trying.”
“Trying, my foot!” Lin Ao quickly said. “Look at the four chief instructors and my grandfather. They all wanted to try their hand at fighting it. Now look what happened to them.”
Ye Lingchen knew that Lin Ao was showing concern, but he simply shrugged it off and continued to step forward nonchalantly.
On both sides, a large number of warriors fell to the ground, bearing either minor or severe injuries. At that juncture, they all looked at Ye Lingchen as if he was crazy.
“Brother Ye!” Lin Ao cried out anxiously.
“Ye Lingchen!” Zheng Yu fell to the ground and clutched his chest. His face was pale as paper and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. He spoke with difficulty, “If you really have the strength, I hope you can see the situation clearly. Don’t show off. If you’re just pretending, then you’ll be facing death!”
Ye Lingchen let out a laugh. “Pretend? When did I pretend? Perhaps you don’t really understand the definition of the word ‘strong’. Let me help each one of you understand it again.”
Zheng Yu and the warriors who despised Ye Lingchen before were left aghast. It hardly occurred to them that the kid could still make such egotistical remarks at such a time! He was an incredibly pretentious person!
“Little Friend Ye, be careful!” Lin Tianxiong could not help but exclaim.
Ye Lingchen smiled. “Old Master Lin, you should be telling that to the monster.”
Everyone looked at each other. His confidence was through the roof!
“This guy lays into everything! He’s born with ruthlessness!”
“If he’s brave enough to show himself at this time, then he must surely be skilled, right?”
“Perfect. We can have a look at how he accomplished his missions.”
“His strength aside, I’m willing to bow down to him simply because of his attitude—he thinks he’s the best in the world.”
“No wonder he belittled us. This fella even has the guts to underestimate that monster. He’s not afraid of anything at all.”
“I hope his skills are proportionate to his lip service.”
…
Roar!
The monster rushed forth and could not help but let out a furious howl when it saw Ye Lingchen standing in the middle of its way.
Although it had no wisdom, it could still feel the strong pretentious aura on that person. It was a kind of provocation that made it even angrier.
Thud, thud, thud!
After three steps, the monster wielded his powerful aura and headed straight for Ye Lingchen!
Its size was huge, and its force could be considered to have reached its peak when coupled with the force of impact. In addition, Ye Lingchen’s height was not that short, though he did look rather small compared with the monster.
Lin Ao exclaimed uncontrollably, “Brother Ye! Stop stirring trouble!”
Whoosh!
The monster’s sandbag-sized fist was nearing, and it directed right at Ye Lingchen’s face!
Ye Lingchen remained standing tall. The strong wind slapped against his cheeks, causing his hair to dance wildly in the air.
‘Sh*t, sh*t! That lad is stunned due to fear.’
Under everyone’s gaze, the fists were approaching, and from everyone’s point of view, it was impossible for Ye Lingchen to escape.
The fist was bigger than Ye Lingchen’s face, and it would be unthinkable if that punch landed.
At the most critical moment however, Ye Lingchen’s head twisted abruptly to the side. He managed to avoid the punch at an angle and speed that left everyone perplexed.
Then, Ye LIngchen delivered an uppercut!
He blasted his fist from the bottom up, like a cannonball, and struck the monster’s jaw fiercely!
Boom!
The monster’s huge body was immediately swept off the ground. It soared into the air and flew in the opposite direction.
Its initially hideous face became even more terrifying while sailing through the air. Blood flowed out in a stream, while two of its long fangs flew out of its mouth and even its eyeballs had been punched out.
The audience fell silent!
The change happened too fast and no one was mentally prepared for it. Their brains lost all ability to react.
“A-awesome!”
“Nice one!”
“F*ck! How hard is that punch? It’s too ruthless!”
“The dodge at the beginning was on point too. I thought he wouldn’t be able to evade it.”
“F*ck man, is Ye Lingchen that awesome?”
“Oh mama, to think that I questioned his strength before. This is utterly humiliating for me.”
…
The warriors all applauded along with continuous cheering and shouting; even Qin Baichuan and the other instructors could not help but scream.
The monster struggled on the ground for a moment, then stood up with difficulty. Its deformed mouth could no longer roar and it simply stared at Ye Lingchen with intense hatred and delirium.
The next moment, the monster’s body swelled 30% more before shrinking rapidly. A tremendous power appeared from its body and bore down heavily on Ye Lingchen.
The entire surrounding suddenly became stifled, as if air had stopped flowing. As a result, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.
“Be careful, this monster knows how to cultivate inner force too!”
“Don’t let him charge his power! Stop him!”
Qin Baichuan and Ferocious Tiger’s chief instructor reminded.
However, Ye Lingchen clenched his fists on both hands and began swaying his body. To everyone’s surprise, he started to charge his power too.
His action filled everyone’s eyes with anger and made their hearts tremble!
‘F*ck! What are you doing? Are you going to compare inner force with it?’
‘Don’t be so arrogant! This is a monster, after all. The strength of its inner force is several times that of a human!’
‘We’re done for. We’re done for! I thought we’d be able to win steadily, but I never thought that this guy would choose to fight with brute force!’
‘Has he lost his mind? Fighting using a skill that the monster mastered but he hasn’t?’
Everyone lamented in their hearts and kept shaking their heads.
Inner force cultivation was deeply intertwined with one’s physique. The stronger the physique, the more, and better, the amount of internal energy that was cultivated. However, how could a human’s physique compare with that of a monster?
Lin Tianxiong was an example as the monster smacked him and sent him flying. Ye Lingchen had struggled to be able to contend with the monster, but to the shock of everyone there, he chose to fight using his inner force!
