At that point, it was too late to say anything and all everyone could do was pray in their hearts.
The next moment, Ye Lingchen attacked at the same time as the monster, with the strong energy-producing explosive sounds in the air. The contortion of air due to the pressure could be seen with the naked eye!
Two completely different forces had collided together.
Boom!
The powerful force was like a missile, setting off an endless wave of air that surged wildly in all directions, knocking over all the warriors.
Powerful!
Frightening!
Those were the thoughts floating in everyone’s mind.
Boom!
Almost immediately after that, the monster’s huge body was directly blasted away in the smoke. A bowl-sized hole appeared in its chest and the force had penetrated through it!
Everyone looked at the monster dumbfoundedly, then looked back at Ye Lingchen.
He was seen breathing a drawn-out sigh of relief and stood like a martial arts master that had completed his meritorious deeds. With the wind brushing past him, his character as the great master of a generation was demonstrated to its fullest.
“Awesome! This is just amazing!”
“With a person like him, it isn’t surprising that he could come with a saying as awesome as ‘those who hold on to their principles are superior in their morality’. Sigh, we have misunderstood him.”
“This…this strength far exceeds that of the chief instructor…”
Everyone felt a mix of excitement and awe. It was difficult for them to calm down in that short amount of time.
Although Lin Ao knew that Ye Lingchen was powerful, it was the first time he experienced the power so directly, leaving him unable to come back to his senses for quite some time.
Qin Baichuan and the others glanced at each other too. Each saw shock and joy in the other’s eyes.
Little did they expect China to produce such a brilliant young talent!
Zheng Yu felt ashamed when he recalled what he had done.
As it turned out, he was nothing more than an ant-like existence in Ye Lingchen’s eyes. How laughable that he strutted about so self-righteously in front of him! It was fearless ignorance at its finest.
If given another chance, he would sincerely say to Ye Lingchen, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were so awesome.”
“A hero is born from a young man! It is a hero born from a young man!”
Qin Baichuan laughed, then walked to Ye Lingchen with a red face. Meanwhile, the other instructors also gathered around.
Although each of them had suffered a rather serious injury, they appeared to be extremely happy. Nothing else could fill them with joy other than discovering that their country had such a great master.
“Ye Lingchen. Greetings, Chiefs.”
“Hahaha, you’re not bad, boy! You’re not bad!” Qin Baichuan smiled. “I’ve been hearing praises about you from Old Man Lin. When I saw you today, I realized that you’re a hundred times better than what Old Man Lin said you were!”
“The heavens are bearing testimony to the emergence of greatness in China!” The other instructors also looked at Ye Lingchen while nodding and smiling.
“Young man, are you interested in coming to Blue Wolf as an instructor? I’ll be your guarantor!” Blue Wolf’s chief instructor stared at Ye Lingchen with a luminous gaze and dangled some enticement. “You’ll definitely get special treatment!”
“Move aside! The conditions are tough in Blue Wolf. Little Friend Ye is a southerner. He won’t adapt to the environment there!” Ferocious Tiger’s chief instructor said firmly. “How about you come to Ferocious Tiger? It’s very close to your hometown and if word gets out, it’ll catch people’s attention. Don’t you think it’s fitting to have a glorious return to your hometown?”
The chief instructor of Ferocious Tiger tailored his offer to Ye Lingchen’s fancies. He knew that the latter had a young heart—someone who enjoyed the limelight and loved being a show-off.
“How shallow! Let’s be realistic!” Hunting Eagle’s chief instructor immediately retorted, then looked at Ye Lingchen and said, “Brother Ye, come to Hunting Eagle. I’m not trying to brag, but in our area, the number of beautiful women produced there is in the top three areas throughout the nation. There’s plenty of eye-candy all around the streets!”
“Enough, all of you! What do you take the Warrior’s Department for?!” Qin Baichuan shouted sharply in as dignified a manner as possible, then said, “Since he’s in Capital, he most certainly belongs to Coiling Dragon! Are there any objections?”
Upon seeing that the other three were intending to refute him, Qin Baichuan hurriedly said, “Middle-Class Sentinel Ye, you were originally going to be promoted to Middle-Class Sentinel today, but your performance was very good and exceeded all expectations, so I’ve decided to promote you to the Upper-Class Sentinel as of right now!”
Upper-Class Sentinels were second only to Generals. The total number of Upper-Class Sentinels in the country numbered less than a hundred!
Moreover, as an Upper-Class Sentinel, Ye Lingchen could mobilize the local military department as he pleased, just like Fang Hong. A point of note was that Fang Hong’s rank was merely an Upper-Class Sentinel!
In short, they could be considered to have immense power, the kind that enabled them to dominate everything in their path.
It went without saying that no one there objected. Everyone felt that it was well deserved.
There was no doubt that martial artists revered martial arts. Ye Lingchen’s strength made them respect him tremendously, not to mention how he had saved them all that day.
At that moment, a warrior stumbled over with a listless look on his face. His visual acuity was still not quite hazy.
“Liu Quan? Where did you go just now?”
“I was in the bathroom.” Liu Quan patted his forehead. After noticing the disastrous situation in front of him, he could not help but ask, “What happened here? Why are you all hurt?”
“That’s a long story, but why were you in the bathroom for so long? Why did you go in the first place?”
“F*CK! You probably won’t believe it even if I say it. I have no idea what happened in the toilet, but the smell is just so horrible. I fainted before I managed to get out,” Liu Quan explained. He was very traumatized and it was practically a nightmare for him.
‘Hehe, I don’t believe it at all.’
Everyone looked at him speechlessly. That excuse was the worst of the worst. Perhaps only a pig would believe him.
Leaving aside any mention of whether such a smell could really make someone faint, he was a warrior and a Middle-Class Sentinel at that. If he could faint because of that, then it was surely a toxic gas bomb, right? No biological or chemical weapon could be that fierce.
“Why? Don’t you believe it? It’s true! You can’t even begin to imagine how smelly it is! It’s simply—”
“Enough, Liu Quan!” Qin Baichuan interrupted coldly. “Firstly, you left your duties without informing, then now you’re spouting nonsense. Write a ten-thousand-character evaluation and go to the Warrior’s Department to receive punishment by yourself!”
“Reporting, Sir, I…”
“Hurry up and go!” Qin Baichuan shouted sharply.
“Mm.” The aggrieved Liu Quan left immediately.
“Haha, we’ve embarrassed ourselves in front of Sentinel Ye.” Qin Baichuan explained to Ye Lingchen immediately, “He likes talking nonsense sometimes. Don’t take it to heart.”
He felt ashamed that Ye Lingchen would have to see such an embarrassing scene on the latter’s maiden visit to the Warrior’s Department. It was a malicious discrediting of the Warrior’s Department. What if Ye Lingchen was given a bad impression?
Ye Lingchen touched his nose and felt that Liu Quan was the victim and said helplessly, “Chief Qin, I think he might be telling the truth.”
“Impossible!” Qin Baichuan shook his head immediately. “I’m not bragging or anything, but the toilets in our Warrior’s Department are all high-tech. The toilet bowl even has its own cleaning function. It doesn’t stink at all and smells pretty good!”
“By the way, I’m sure you haven’t been there yet, Sentinel Ye. Let me show you around. Other than smelling nice, it’s also very comfortable to use. You might as well try it. It’s a good thing for you to visit the Warrior’s Department frequently in the future…”
Ye Lingchen was speechless. “…”
