I Am A Prodigy Chapter 639

Chapter 639 - What’s The Source Of Your Confidence?

“Is he brain dead?” Everyone was flabbergasted by Ye Lingchen’s calm response.

“Maybe he knows he can’t run and decided to stick to his act,” Su Anxuan stated. His expression was not a good one. This time around, the Su family suffered quite a big loss.

“Although it’s not his fault, he was too arrogant and didn’t find a good backer. Once the bodyguard goes down, it’s the end for him too.”

“I think he’s already crying underneath that mask,” someone joked.

Ye Lingchen stood where he was, just looking at Huo Shan. His eyes were calm and composed as he asked curiously, “Half-step innate stage? What stage is that?”

He heard the Warrior Department talking about inner force, but they did not tell him anything about the innate stage.

“Hehe, no need to waste words on someone who’s about to die.” Huo Shan chuckled. “You’re just a normal person, yet you’re hoping to learn about the world of martial arts?”

“Kneel before me and hand over the formula. That way, I’ll let you die a painless death!”

With that, he placed his hands behind his back and looked condescendingly at Ye Lingchen, as though waiting for Ye Lingchen to kneel.

“Guiding the blades of wind to attack requires your walking motion to execute and keep it hidden. With your level of skills, where does your confidence come from?” Ye Lingchen shook his head, chuckling.

Ye Lingchen’s words brought a frown to Huo Shan’s face. Huo Shan asked in surprise, “What do you mean?”

“Your skill is just so-so, yet you dare to brag before me?” Ye Lingchen’s words were devoid of emotion, as though he was just stating a simple fact. However, its contents caused the hearts of those around him to skip a beat.

Beside him, Su Qingxue could only hear a buzz in her ears as she was intensely stunned by Ye Lingchen’s bold claims.

The others looked at him as though he was a dead man.

“You’re asking for it!” Huo Shan bellowed.

The wind around him grew stronger and gathered around his legs. After that, he rose violently and raised his right leg in a sweeping motion at Ye Lingchen!

He was about a dozen meters away from Ye Lingchen. However, that kick caused the air to twist as a seemingly overwhelming wave rushed at him.

Earlier, his casual kick was already strong enough to send Ali flying. Just a little bit of Qi force was sufficient to cut the tree in half. What more with just Miracle Doctor Y?

With a body of flesh and blood, he would likely be crushed.

“Huo Shan is really pissed off. He doesn’t even care for the formula anymore.”

“I can only say that the kid’s death seeking skill is really well trained. Huo Shan’s rise to fame all those years ago was not just because of his strength. It was also paved with countless deaths! Did he really expect Huo Shan to be a patient man?”

Quite a few people were shaking their heads, sighing.

Either they lamented or celebrated his downfall; none of them expected Ye Lingchen to escape this calamity.

Right at that moment, Ye Lingchen slowly lifted his right hand and casually formed a fist. He then half-heartedly threw a punch.

That punch was mundane. It looked like a flimsy punch one would see in fights between children. It was like child’s play.

However, just as his fist made contact with the Qi force coming at him, it immediately caused a low groan before exploding forth in an instant.

That wave of Qi force immediately crumbled away. After that, another wave energy poured out from Ye Lingchen’s fist, rushing toward Huo Shan like a tsunami!

“How’s this possible?!”

Huo Shan’s eyes narrowed immediately. The calm expression disappeared from his face and was replaced by horror. Following that, he dared not delay for the slightest moment and made another kick with both his legs. Only then did he manage to nullify Ye Lingchen’s attack.

However, before he could take a breather, a leg was already soaring through the air and made a sweeping motion at him!

Bang!

That kick landed precisely on Huo Shan’s shoulder. His entire body was sent flying like a football.

Huo Shan grunted and made a stomping motion in mid-air, struggling to stabilize himself before landing. However, his body was still moving backward out of his control. Each step he took caused a six-inch deep hole in the ground.

Silence befell the entire area!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Su Qinxue opened her mouth. “H-h-he…”

Su Tianhong’s eyes almost popped out of its sockets, unable to believe what he just saw.

Su Anxuan’s expression froze; he was at a loss of how to react.

People from the great families were stunned. They had a variety of expressions on their faces, which nicely formed a still picture.

‘I knew it!’

Su Qingyao exclaimed internally. It turned out that Miracle Doctor Y’s abnormal confidence did not originate from the bodyguard, but himself! Everyone there had misjudged him!

The entire park was enveloped in absolute silence. What was left was the light breeze causing a ripple across the lake’s surface.

After that, in front of all those dumbfounded people, Ye Lingchen slowly walked forward. Step by step, he casually approached Huo Shan. His calm voice could be heard from underneath the mask. “Half-step innate stage? This strength of yours is still quite disappointing.”

Seeing Ye Lingchen approach him step by step, Huo Shan’s expression turned serious and confused. However, it also triggered his ferocity. He stomped both legs on the ground, causing his body to shoot upward like an arrow.

“I won’t accept a kid like you to be at the half-step innate stage!”

Ye Lingchen’s voice was not fully developed and was definitely on the younger side. Even if he had practiced martial arts, how long could that have been?

In that instant, many thoughts ran through Huo Shan’s mind and he calmed down slightly. Meanwhile, his legs did not rest, making sweeping arcs in the air that was followed by a meter long blade of wind formed by his Qi force. The wind groaned as it cut through everything and flew toward Ye Lingchen!

That move from Huo Shan perfectly showcased the strength of a half-step innate martial artist.

That wind blade’s strength had surpassed that of inner force. In other words, that was not just purely inner force, but was instead mixed with a hint of spiritual energy. Although it was only a small portion, it was already far beyond the level of inner force.

To put simply, that was the difference between innate Qi force and acquired Qi force. When compared in terms of quality, the innate Qi force’s strength would be 10 times greater than the acquired Qi force.

Fear could be seen in the eyes of martial artists who witnessed the scene. That one strike alone was sufficient to put them in a life and death situation!

“With this level of attack, Huo Shan’s strength is stronger than I’ve imagined,” Su Tianhong lamented. The four other masters of the great families and him were all half-step innate stage martial artists. Although they were also capable of such attacks, it would not be executed as effortlessly as Huo Shan.

The Qi force of that strike had surpassed a regular bullet. It was screaming for Ye Lingchen’s death.

“Be careful!” Su Qingxue could not refrain from shouting.

Before their eyes, Ye Lingchen stood there calmly as his clothes flapped along in the strong wind. He seemed to be ignorant of the danger, not taking any action.

‘Unless he’s a half-step innate stage martial artist like me, he’ll definitely die!’ Huo Shan observed coldly as he thought to himself…
