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?'

Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.
