I Am A Prodigy Chapter 229

Just as he disembarked, there was already a chauffeur ready to send them to the hotel.
Although it was late at night, the streets were brightly lit and brimming with people, showing no signs of rest. Clubs and casinos were all over the place. It was truly a city that never sleeps.
Along the way, cars zoomed by. Ye Lingchen could see countless beautifully dressed women posing at tourists.
Over there, one could find people from all countries. In that short time, Ye Lingchen had seen at least seven people from different countries.
"Grandmaster Ye, the hotel we booked is right next to the casino. It's the most luxurious hotel over here. Each guest room is bigger than the presidential suites in our country. Furthermore, on the top floor of the hotel is a huge swimming pool with a see-through bottom. When you swim there you will feel as though you're flying in the air. It's a landmark over here."
Lu Hao made a creepy smile. "Other than that, you can enjoy services here that are unavailable in China. They have escorts from all countries. You can have a look at—"
Ye Lingchen gave Lu Hao a cold stare, causing him to immediately swallow the rest of his words.
"Grandmaster Ye, the casino is right in front of us," Lu Tianxiong said after coughing lightly.
Ye Lingchen saw a giant arch as he raised his head. The arch was adorned with a variety of colored lights. In the middle of the arch, the eye-catching words of "Las Vegas" was lit in a bright, gold color.
Under the arch, countless people walked by, excitedly chatting away.
The people there seemed to become more active at night. Both sides of the road were crowded with various vendors, buskers, and a variety of stalls. The foot traffic was unending. The night market seemed much livelier than he had imagined.

They arrived at the pedestrian walkway, and cars were forbidden to go further. Ye Lingchen and the rest got out of the car and walked.
Unexpectedly, he met several of Chinese nationals, most of them young men and women, most likely there on vacation.
As he continued walking, there were more and more Chinese people around him. Even the language slowly turned from English to Chinese.
Could they be at Chinatown? It should not be.
Ye Lingchen felt a little off. Astonished gasps could be heard from a distance, which was followed by a round of applause.
"Grandmaster Ye, there's a Chinese performer up front. He's been doing that for years. Recently, he's turning into a hit because of TikTok, attracting quite the crowd from the Chinese visitors," Lu Hao explained with a smile.
"What's he performing?" Ye Lingchen asked curiously.
"Chinese Kungfu," Lu Hao laughed, then added, "of course it's nothing compared to Grandmaster Ye. The Chinese Kungfu he performs is only for show, definitely no match for you."
He had seen Ye Lingchen's prowess. Ever since he learned his lesson from Ye Lingchen, the experience haunted him all the while. In his mind, Ye Lingchen's capabilities were extremely terrifying.
Unexpectedly, Lu Hao's words triggered quite a number of people. They turned around and threw a look at Ye Lingchen, then said through pursed lips, "Bro, it's one thing to brag, but don't treat Chinese Kungfu as a joke."
"We're all Chinese. Just watch in peace when you can see Chinese Kungfu in a foreign country. Don't put down others just to make yourself look good."
It would seem that those people were martial arts enthusiasts that had come all the way to watch Chinese Kungfu.
Lu Hao wanted to get back at them but was held back by Ye Lingchen. He rubbed his nose and smiled in a carefree manner.

As he joined the crowd, Ye Lingchen's brows frowned slightly. The performer was a middle-aged man. He was not tall, but very well built. His muscle tone was well balanced and had a spirited look in his eyes, giving him a strong presence.
He was practicing...Martial Body Fist?!
Ye Lingchen was very familiar with this fist technique. However, that person had improved on the basics of Martial Body Fist, making it a lot more appealing to look at. Some of its movements were challenging, demanding a high level of bodily coordination.
At that moment, that middle-aged man leaped well over a meter in the air and made a backflip, then landed perfectly in a graceful manner.
"Excellent! Fantastic!"
"F*ck! Watching it live is different compared to TikTok! So cool!"
"Right? Earlier I felt that strong wind rushing at my face. This is a real expert!"
"Our Chinese Kungfu is still the best! It's so wonderful to see it spread out of the country."
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and adjusted his posture. He wrapped his fist and thanked the audience, "Thank you all for your support. I'll be taking a 10 minute break, after which I will proceed with the next round of martial arts performance."
The crowd willingly took out some change and placed them in the suitcase the middle-aged man placed on the floor.
Ye Lingchen nodded. That person was not half bad. He guessed that he must be a retired martial artist from the Warrior's Department. His leg movements were a little awkward, most likely from an old injury.
"Daddy, come wipe your sweat." A cute little boy walked forward and passed a towel he prepared in advance to the middle-aged man.
The boy had huge, jet black eyes that overflowed with energy. After passing the towel, he quickly walked up to a stall nearby and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Superhero mask and paraphernalia. Bargain buy! Original products! We support Alipay, WeChat Pay, and all other forms of online payment. Come have a look!"
The sudden change caused the crowd to burst into laughter, thoroughly entertained by the kid's actions.
"Wah, he's the kid of a martial arts expert."
"He's just as cute as rumored online!"
"I think he looks so much cuter in person than those pictures online."
The little boy immediately caught the attention of countless young women and was soon surrounded by them.
"Pretty Sis, I have Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and even Captain America's shield...buy one as a souvenir?" the little boy introduced his products one by one.
Ye Lingchen looked over, just to see the stall filled with various superheroes' masks and toys. Just then, his gaze stopped for a moment when he saw a special mask on the stall.
The mask was black, but right in between the brows was printed with a large red letter—Y.
He headed over, then held the mask in his hand and asked with a smile, "Is this another superhero?"
"Mmm, that's right!" The little boy's face was filled with pride. "Big brother, you're also Chinese right? This is China's own superhero and it's different from the superheroes that appear in foreign movies. Our superhero is real. Furthermore, there are many Ys. They're good at everything and also saved a lot of people. They're very famous."
"Is that so? Is he as amazing as your dad?" Ye Lingchen asked with a smile.
The kid frowned, not knowing how to answer. After a moment's hesitation, he finally answered, "I think Y should be a little better…"
Ye Lingchen smiled gently. He had Lu Hao put down a bundle of cash and left…
