I Am A Prodigy Chapter 197

Rustle!
Everyone rubbed their ears, fearing that they may have misheard.
The similarity between Ye Lingchen and the boxing champion's tone was uncanny.
They both stood still waiting for the other to act.
However, Muhammad Ali's words sounded convincing while Ye Lingchen's words felt like a joke.
"This person must be crazy!"
Not only the foreigners, but even Li Tai's party were also similarly stunned.
"Cough, cough, cough," Xiao Feifei coughed hard due to the stress, her face turning pale immediately.
As she recalled Ye Lingchen's appearance when he went on the stage, he gave off a feeling of a warrior going on a suicide mission. He did so for Chinese Kungfu, valiantly going forward in face of death!
"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me now!" Ali's expression darkened. His temper was explosive to begin with. Faced with the repeated provocation, his patience had run out!
With that, he took a step forward and grabbed Ye Lingchen's shoulder!
Like an eagle snatching at a chick, he could simply pick Ye Lingchen up and throw him off the ring.
Within China, he had to watch his actions, not daring to cause death. However, it was still within his limits to torture and mock Ye Lingchen!
Nonetheless, just as his hand touched Ye Lingchen's shoulder, he was baffled.
Ye Lingchen's body had seemingly melded with the entire arena, rooted in it. No matter how hard he pushed, Ye Lingchen would not budge.
At that moment, a sense of helplessness took root in Ali's heart, feeling as though it was impossible to move Ye Lingchen.
Ali's expression focused, looking at the calm young man in astonishment, feeling bewildered.
"Ali, Ali, Ali!"
Below the arena, the foreigners were oblivious to what happened. They howled and cheered in a craze, looking forward to Ye Lingchen being thrown out of the arena.
As time passed, the cheers faded away and the crowd had a surprised look on their faces.
"What's happening? Why did Ali stop moving?"
"Ali, don't hold back. Show him the power of a boxing champion!"

"That's right. Teach that kid a lesson!"
…
As nothing happened after some time, the foreigners could not help turn rowdy.
"Weak. So this is the extent of a boxing champion's strength!"
The quiet voice echoed through the hall, causing everyone's heart to skip a beat as they stared in astonishment.
Those insolent and arrogant words...it came from the young man?
"You're asking for it!"
Ali's face turned red and roared viciously.
The muscles on his entire body suddenly pulsated as though it gained sentience, to the extent that someone would hear the sound generated by the pulsating muscles in a quiet environment.
At that moment, Ali's presence continued to grow, his body seemed to have grown a tad bigger.
"The boxing champion is angry!"
"That kid is dead. This punch will be the full strength from the boxing champion by utilizing the strength from all the muscles on his body! Before he retired, he used this punch to pulverize the fist of his opponent!"
"That's terrifying. This is his maximum power. If that hits, it will be unimaginable!"
Ye Lingchen's brows twitched slightly.
"You managed to train your muscles to pulsate to your will to this extent. Not bad."
"However, boxing techniques and Chinese Kungfu are still too far apart. Today, I'll let you experience it!" With that, Ye Lingchen threw a punch as well!
His fist seemed to devoid of strength, moving forward in a light and floaty manner. Nonetheless, it gave others a feeling that everything was within his control.
Bang!
Both the fists collided!
A heavy, dulled sound could be heard!
Ali felt a burning wave surge into his body from Ye Lingchen's fist.
Faced with that strength, he was like duckweed in the sea, floating with the currents.
Thunk, thunk, thunk!
He has pushed over three meters away. He looked up in horror, staring at Ye Lingchen who did not budge an inch.
Monstrous!
The sweat glands on his entire body loosened up. In that instant, he felt that his life was threatened, as though his life was within Ye Lingchen's grasp, capable of snuffing him out at any moment.

Crack!
At the same time, the pillar behind Ali made a cracking sound, the burst into pieces!
Ye Lingchen slowly retrieved his fist, then looked at Ali quietly, "Should we go on?"
The hall went silent!
Be it Ali on the ring, or the foreigners and Chinese below the ring. They were all scared stiff, at a loss for words. That was only from one punch!
Although that punch did not harm Ali, its strength was sufficient to shake everyone to their core!
"You might die from this fist!"
Ye Lingchen's words were still echoing in their heads, but this time it seemed so much clearer and ringing.
It was clear to see that Ye Lingchen had held back, or else...he might die!
Was that Chinese Kungfu?
Was that a strength that humans could possess?
Most importantly, Ye Lingchen had only thrown a light and feeble punch, one that seemed to carry no weight behind it, as carefree as slapping a mosquito.
Xu Nan's mouth was slightly ajar, at a loss for words from the shock.
Xiao Feifei's beautiful eyes were wide open, finally letting out a sigh of relief, looking at Ye Lingchen with a mixture of shock and joy.
Lu Chao, on the other hand, lost control of his body, shaking uncontrollably and looked at Ye Lingchen in terror. Recollections of how he acted in front of Ye Lingchen caused him to break out in cold sweat.
"Is that Chinese Kungfu?!"
"Oh my god!!"
"This is crazy!"
The foreigners felt their worldview crumble before them. They were all shocked beyond words.
Ye Lingchen stood there with his hands behind his back, showing no emotions.
To him, defeating the boxing champion was just an ordinary thing. With his Eight Extremities Brute Training and Arhat Fist Force, his fighting ability had already reached the upper limits of humanity.
From the moment he obtained the Prodigy System, he was destined to be different from other humans.
"I didn't expect you to be this amazing." Xu Nan looked at Ye Lingchen with twinkling, star-like eyes as he approached. "This time you really helped bring glory to our country."
Ye Lingchen laughed, then casually took a glance at Lu Chao, who was standing nervously at the side. He then left without sparing any words with these people that blindly chased after foreign culture and neglected their own.
"Young Master Ye." Li Tai quickly approached him.
He gave Ye Lingchen a complicated look and finally realized that his prior knowledge of Ye Lingchen's identity was but the tip of the iceberg. He could be described as a transcendent being.
With the power beyond mere mortals in his hands, any title bestowed on him would be like a passing cloud.
Thud!
A sound came from the arena all of a sudden.
Muhammad Ali's towering body knelt before Ye Lingchen, his eyes glued onto Ye Lingchen's back. "Thank you for not killing me. Today I've seen the real Chinese Kungfu and finally realize that I'm but a frog in the well. I beg China's master to take me as a disciple, teach me Kungfu!"
With that said, kowtowed hard on the arena floor three times, resulting in three loud knocking sounds.
"We too are willing to learn Chinese Kungfu. Master, please teach us!" Many English folks started to speak using their accented Chinese together. Although it was only one punch, Chinese Kungfu had made its impression on all of them, leaving an unforgettable mark behind on their hearts.
Chinese Kungfu was destined to once again make itself known to the world!
"Director Li, you go tell Ali that if he wants to learn Chinese Kungfu, he'd have to join Huo Yuanjia's crew."
Following that he immediately left the underground arena…

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021.
