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?'

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
