I Am A Prodigy Chapter 191

The next day…
Ye Lingchen finished up his morning exercises early, then took Little Green and Little Grey for a stroll in the residential area.
The environment within the residential area was excellent, merging with the park, beautiful and invigorating.
Zhang Yunxi similarly went out early in the morning after preparing breakfast for Ye Lingchen.
The renovation for Y Cosmetics was done and the store could begin operations. Zhang Yunxi had spent most of her time on that matter lately. For her, the rent for each day was a huge sum. Added to it the amount of money invested, she wanted to utilize every possible second to make a profit.
She was already smart to begin with. Couple with that her practice of makeup skills with Ye Lingchen during those times, her technique was already above average, Even if she could not compare with a professional makeup artist, she was not far off.
"Little Green, get that bird on the tree!" Ye Lingchen gestured.
Little Green immediately shot out like an arrow, leaving only afterimages as it shuffled up along the tree trunk, scaring a flock of birds, causing them to take flight.
By the time it reappeared, Little Green was carrying a sparrow in its jaws, placing it in front of Ye Lingchen's foot as though presenting a gift.
The sparrow's feathers were stiffened and flustered, chirping wildly as its eyes filled with terror, trembling all over.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm really gonna die! The wolf pup is scary!"
"Not bad, you've improved a lot." Ye Lingchen smiled as he retrieved the sparrow from Little Green's jaws. As soon as he let go, the sparrow flew away with a whoosh, nowhere to be found. That incident would most likely develop into a traumatic experience that haunted it for life.
"Little Grey, catch a fish from the river!" Ye Lingchen pointed at the river by the side.
Little Grey was long ready for that moment, splashing straight into the water immediately. Its limbs flailing hard, enjoying the swim.

Three minutes later, it came back ashore excitedly with a carp in its mouth, then placed it by Ye Lingchen's foot.
"Haha, not bad!"
Ye Lingchen laughed, "With you two around, my meals in the future will be secured."
As time passed, the greatness of the Animal Taming skill was brought to light. In Ye Lingchen's opinion, this skill had the scariest potential for growth.
That was because Animal Taming was not limited to one or two beasts, but instead could be applied to many!
How scary would things be if a well-trained beast were to show itself?
Furthermore, when Animal Taming was paired with the animal language that he learned, the synergy was even more terrifying, to the point that he could command an army of animals.
Animal Taming was not limited to instilling obedience in the animal. It also sharpens an animal's abilities, increasing their overall potential by having a strict training regiment and special dietary formula.
Little Green and Little Grey's physique was by no means small. They were already near two thirds the size of a full-grown dog, slowly developing the presence of a wild beast.
Ring ring ring!
Right then, Ye Lingchen's phone rang.
It was a call from Li Tai.
Figuring that such a long time had passed, Huo Yuanjia's filming should be almost done.
"Young Master Ye, it's me." Li Tai's voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.
"Mm, how's the filming process?"
"It's about done. I estimate that we can wrap up soon as we only have a few more scenes left." Li Tai paused for a moment before continuing. "The reason for my call is to notify you that we're facing some troubles in the last couple of scenes."
"What sort of trouble?" Ye Lingchen frowned.
"We lack actors!" Li Tai's sound carried a hint of bitterness, "Our last scene requires some foreigners to take part, and we need a muscular Englishman. We've sent the invitations, but it was met with refusal."

"Refused?"
"That's right. Our movie's ending theme is to showcase Chinese Kungfu and spirit. Huo Yuanjia wins, showcasing the strength of Chinese Kungfu. However, it also insulted the Englishmen. They felt that Chinese Kungfu is lacking, hence they're unwilling to take part in such a movie that insults their country. Thanks to that, we're at an impasse," Li Tai said regretfully.
"I see." Ye Lingchen nodded, considering the matter. That was a difficult situation indeed. "They're not budging at all? This matter is in historical records after all with historical evidence, not something that we made up."
"They have started a boxing gym in China. The main issue is that they're looking down on Chinese Kungfu," Li Tai continued, "saying that they will only agree if Chinese Kungfu can impress them."
That matter had been delayed for a week. At first, Li Tai did not want to bother Ye Lingchen, but that day was the day for their duel. After some thoughts, he finally decided to notify Ye Lingchen about it.
"You guys head over first. Send me the location of the boxing gym. I'll head over right now!"
After the call, Ye Lingchen brought Little Green and Little Grey home and immediately headed to the location Li Tai sent him.
The location's name was called Inferno Boxing Gym!
Hengdian Studios was already in the outskirts quite some distance away from Capital City, but Inferno Boxing Gym turned out to be even further. It was located in a village on the outskirts of Capital City, in the village of Xiangshui.
Without a choice, Ye Lingchen could only call for a taxi. The trip took him two and a half hours, coming to a total of RMB500. The amount caused Ye Lingchen to flinch in pain.
'Damn it, I must get a car as soon as I can!'
Right after that thought, Ye Lingchen remembered that he did not even have a driving license and started to feel bitter.
'F*ck, I better find a chance to get my driving license first…'
Arriving at Xiangshui Village, the scenery caught Ye Lingchen by surprise, baffling him.
It was nothing like he imagined. Xiangshui Village was incredibly prosperous, with heavy traffic and big crowds.
Furthermore, there were quite a number of foreigners with blonde hair and blue eyes. The guys were heavily built while the girls were tall and glamourous. They conversed in English along the way, contributing to the lively atmosphere.
Could that be a tourist hotspot catered to the foreigners?
How did he not hear about it at all within the country?
As he continued, the closer he got to Inferno Boxing Gym, his surroundings grew increasingly lively.
At last, he arrived in front of a huge storefront. Ye Lingchen stood still and looked up towards the big letters of Inferno Boxing Gym above him.
In the store, he could clearly make out the sounds of shouting and excited screams.
Upon entering, Ye Lingchen saw a room full of foreigners. His brows creased into a frown as his nose was assaulted with the sweaty odor in the room.
Rumor has it that foreigners were hairy and sweat profusely. It would seem the rumors were true after all.
The boxing gym was very different from Ye Lingchen's expectations. At first, he thought it would resemble a Chinese martial arts hall, with people training in an orderly fashion. He never expected to see a chaotic scene. It was unclear whether Li Tai and the rest had arrived yet.
Amid the crowd was a ring. Within it, two foreign boxers were fighting each other. Each attack brought cheers from the crow below the ring.
From the looks of it, the foreigners focused more on brute force than actual technique.
Within a crowd of foreigners, Chinese people with black hair and eyes were especially outstanding. In one sweeping glance, Ye Lingchen managed to spot someone he knew.
At the same time, the other party's gaze had similarly fell upon him, blurting out in surprise, "Eh, why are you here?"
