I Am A Prodigy Chapter 249
Advertisement
By then, China was being invaded. Countless Westerners acted with impunity, and they even built an arena in Jinmen, planning to defeat all the Chinese experts!
Huo Yuanjia, Jinmen's best fighter, was a relic of the past that nobody remembered. Only one beggar there remembered his existence. The moment he saw Huo Yuanjia, he laughed out loudly. "Huo Yuanjia, the best fighter of Jinmen, is back."
That sound triggered him and sent him into a daze for quite some time…
He looked at the newspaper covered in English, then looked towards the arena. One by one, the martial arts experts were being beaten to death.
Finally, he decided to pick up the fight. For his country, for Chinese martial arts!
The movie then went into its climax. Huo Yuanjia once again stepped foot into the arena. However, this time, he was not fighting for himself. It was for his country, for them to clean off the stain from the label "Sick Man of East Asia"!
When they saw Huo Yuanjia defeating the foreigners one after another, the viewers clutched their fists tightly, cheering for him within their hearts.
Especially when it came to that phrase, "You can humiliate me, but you cannot humiliate Chinese Kungfu!"
In that instant, that phrase set off a tidal wave in the hearts of the viewers, leaving a strong impression within them…
As they watched the foreigners parading around, the movie's color tones turned grim.
Although Huo Yuanjia was a good fighter, he could not fend off the dirty tricks from the evildoers.
In the last match, he was poisoned and had to fight with the foreign boxing champion with his body in that state.
They saw Huo Yuanjia vomiting blood as he suffered the attacks from his opponents. Everyone felt furious and unresigned. As they watched Huo Yuanjia standing up time after time, they were greatly moved and admired him!
The will of martial arts supported Huo Yuanjia as he attempted his counterattacks. When the judge announced Huo Yuanjia's victory, the entire country celebrated, and so did the cinema.

Several viewers unwittingly stood up and cheered!
However, when they saw Huo Yuanjia fall to the ground, the entire cinema turned silent.
At that moment, many viewers were covered in tears. The sobbing sounds took over the cinema. Another portion of the viewers were instead quietly rubbing at the corner or their eyes.
"This movie is just wonderful!"
"That was great. I felt as though I had gone back in time."
"I'm still unable to recover from that. It felt like Huo Yuanjia was alive right in front of us."
"This movie tells such a rich story. In it, I saw life, and many other philosophies."
"This is my second time, and it felt even more impactful. This movie is truly amazing!"
"Y really is a genius, managing to come up with such a great movie on his first try. If he were to act this out himself, it'll be even better. I can't wait for him to continue coming up with better movies!"
After a while, the viewers finally woke up from their dream-like state. Sounds of wonderment filled the hall.
They remained in their seats until the cinema crew ushered them to leave before slowly standing up to leave the hall.
The crowd was talking about Y since the start of the movie. Unbeknownst to them, Y was right in their midst, happily basking in their praise.
"Lingchen, in just half a day, Huo Yuanjia's box office sales exceeded eight million! At this rate, it will continue to grow!" Xiao Feifei flipped out the movie box office site and showed it to Ye Lingchen.
On October 1st, Huo Yuanjia's ticket sales were only slightly above a million and had bad reviews. Meanwhile, I am Hero's ticket sales had reached 30 million!
Yesterday, after the incident on TikTok, Huo Yuanjia's box office sales had reached almost five million. All the tickets in the major cinemas were all sold out while I am Hero's box office sales were at 26 million.

Today, Accompanied by the additional screening allocation, the box office sales had exceeded eight million, while I am Hero's box office sales had barely reached eight million!
Such a comparison was sufficient to give anyone a good scare!
It was a major comeback.
I am Hero's screening allocation was at 35 percent in the beginning, while Huo Yuanjia was only at five percent!
With the current statistics, it was obvious that Huo Yuanjia was gaining momentum.
Little Yuan was Wu Han's fan. Not only her, but almost all her classmates were also Wu Han's fans.
At first, the National Day holiday was a day they would enjoy and have fun. However, based on their expressions, one could tell that they were not having fun.
On the first day of the National Day holiday, they were excited and made plans in the class group chat to go watch Wu Han's I am Hero in support of Wu Han. In fact, that was what they did.
Those few days, they were discussing Wu Han's cool looks and addressing him as their husband.
However, with Huo Yuanjia's comeback, they felt that something was amiss. Just the day before, their hearts were lined with worry as they saw Wu Han's post on Weibo.
The whole class was in an uproar, with everyone shouting foul and siding with Wu Han.
"What should we do? Our husband is asking for our help!"
"If our husband asks for us to support him, we must do it. Let's bring Huo Yuanjia down!"
"That's right. We'll go watch another round of the movie! How can Huo Yuanjia compare to our husband? They must have fluffed up the ticket purchase!"
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we go watch Huo Yuanjia, then find out the flaw in the movie and criticize the h*ll out of it! We'll avenge our husband!"
"I think that's a good idea! We'll go sh*t on Huo Yuanjia. Better yet, we'll criticize that Y into oblivion and avenge our husband. Wakakaka…"
"Let's do it. I'm going to watch Huo Yuanjia today and pick it apart!"
…
Naturally, Ye Lingchen was oblivious to that group of haters heading for his own movie. After the movie, he accompanied Xiao Feifei for lunch in a thematic restaurant, then wandered aimlessly for a while.
Along the way, both of them chatted on various topics without any awkwardness. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming.
"Lingchen, have you been to Capital City's safari park?" Xiao Feifei asked out of the blue.
Ye Lingchen shook his head, "Nope."
Not only the safari park, but he had not been to most of the tourist spots in Capital City. Now that he thought about it, he was really hardworking. During his time in university, he was either studying or making money, nothing shy of a perfect man.
"I've not been there before as well. Why don't you go with me?" Xiao Feifei's eyes were slightly unfocused as she waited for Ye Lingchen's reply.
Ye Lingchen thought about it for a moment. He did not have much to do during the National Day holidays. He then nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Sure."
"Hehe, then I'll contact Sister Lin immediately and have her drive us there." Xiao Feifei put on a charming smile and called Sister Lin right away.
Very soon, a silver Porsche pulled over in front of Ye Lingchen. Sister Lin was similarly wearing a pair of shades.
"Let's go." Xiao Feifei pulled Ye Lingchen along.
"You changed your car?" Ye Lingchen's brows twitched.
"I need to remain discreet when I'm outside. I don't want to draw attention to myself. My car needs to change frequently to avoid the paparazzi," Xiao Feifei explained.
Ye Lingchen could not help but take a good look at the cool, brand new Porsche. 'This car...is discreet?'

The Choice is Not Yours
Author's Note: (As of November 20, 2021) I rewrote all the chapters perhaps more than a year ago, but haven't announced that I did so. Because that kind of announcement would include something along the lines of, "I'm working on the story so expect new chapters!" But the truth is, I lack motivation to do anything. And I would hate myself if I broke a promise. I'm extremely sorry if you have been patiently waiting for uploads. These days, I've been studying, not well, but studying somewhat. I will definitely bring more to show, with regular uploads. If not this story then there's another story I've been writing that's really exciting to me. It's not exactly similar to this story since it has a male lead and he is a baneful asshole with even less morals. I hope you'll like it when it comes to existence. And I'll leave my announcement off with the aforementioned promise. Meet Amber, a tomboyish, unstable, and cheeky lass who likes to keep to herself. According to her, she'll live the rest of her life on auto-pilot mode, awhile holding onto the few things that make her remotely happy. However, she forgot that people never really leave you alone, be it humans or even the Gods. And exactly that happens, ending her monotonous life on such the Gods' whim. But at what cost to her? Will she be able to hold onto the things she holds dear? Or will she fail miserably and lose herself in the process? That's what the Gods want to know. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover photo.Warning: If you are easily triggered, I am not writing this novel for you.
