I Am A Prodigy Chapter 319
Advertisement
Such a master was definitely worthy of being a grandmaster!
Sergeant Gao and the others became distinctly more reserved around Ye Lingchen. Their earlier ignorance did not matter anymore, but since the grandmaster was beside them, they did not dare to be careless.
After cuffing the three men, they breathed a sigh of relief and rid themselves of the tension they felt prior. The pressure heaped onto them by the martial artist was too great.
"Master, what should we do next?" Xu Nan asked.
One by one, the others also looked at Ye Lingchen and wanted to hear his opinion.
By right, any encounter with a martial artist should be left to the Warrior's Department. Things, however, happened too suddenly, and it was too hasty to notify the Warrior's Department and that time.
"I am a layman. You should ask Sergeant Gao," Ye Lingchen said with a smile.
Sergeant Gao took a deep breath and pondered for a moment, then remarked, "We can confirm that this is their base, but its definite position can only be confirmed once it's sighted..."
As he spoke of that, his words were unwittingly slowed down and he frowned.
If they continued to move forward, God only knew what kind of people they would meet. If there were many martial artists in that stronghold, then it would certainly spell trouble for their group. Even so, they felt reluctant to just stop here.
"Sergeant Gao, shall we notify the Warrior's Department first, and come back when we are fully prepared?" someone suggested.
"No!" Li Hu shook his head and his tone heavy. "We have no idea what these three people are doing when they came out. If the three of them don't return, they will certainly arouse suspicions in the others. We can't spook the enemy or else this will all go to waste."
The current situation left them in a dilemma. The burly man's emergence left everyone feeling uncertain.
"I might have a suggestion," Ye Lingchen spoke up with lit-up eyes and he looked at the comatose burly man.
"Grandmaster Ye, please do tell." Everyone looked at Ye Lingchen.

"I think the first thing we can do is infiltrate and find out the situation," Ye Lingchen said plainly.
His words made everyone frown slightly. His words practically made no difference. If only they could infiltrate the place!
As they listened, however, Ye Lingchen continued, "I have learned Transfiguration. We can transform our look into someone else's. Wouldn't hurt to try it."
"Transfiguration?" Sergeant Gao and the others were all startled. They looked at Ye Lingchen strangely.
"Master, could you have stumbled here from a TV show?" Xu Nan opened her mouth slightly and looked at Ye Lingchen adorably. Their worldview was being upended slowly, but quietly. Danger truly did lurk everywhere in the world.
"It's just a bit of makeup actually, but the technique is superior," Ye Lingchen said casually. "I can change my appearance to look like this burly man and get myself in there. That way, I'll be able to get more information and it'll be easier to handle things."
"Isn't it too dangerous to do this?" Xu Nan looked at Ye Lingchen worriedly.
Doing such a thing was much more frightening than being a spy. After all, Ye Lingchen was practically a fake. If he gave the slightest bit of his true identity away, he would immediately be trapped and surrounded.
"That is why I should go alone." Ye Lingchen smiled slightly. "With my skills, I can escape even if I'm exposed."
"This..." Sergeant Gao and the others were all hesitant. Commencing with the plan would be Ye Lingchen in danger, but other than that, there seemed to be no other way.
In the end, Sergeant Gao's face abruptly turned solemn. He stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Lingchen, "Grandmaster Ye, we have to trouble you then!"
The others followed suit and bowed to Ye Lingchen too.
"Grandmaster Ye, I, Li Hu, was ignorant of greatness in the past. I have offended you and I seek your forgiveness." Li Hu said solemnly.
"It's okay." Ye Lingchen waved his hand casually. He never even put all that to heart.
At that point, he had already begun to prepare for the transfiguration.

Speaking of which, it was the first time Ye Lingchen used Transfiguration, but it was derived from makeup after all. Since it was similar to makeup, it should probably not be too rusty.
There were not many materials needed for Transfiguration, just a couple of small containers that resembled makeup boxes. Ye Lingchen always carried it with him just in case.
He placed all the materials in front of him before raising his hand to measure the burly man's face.
The bones on both sides of the cheek were slightly convex and the tip of the nose was pointed slightly downward. The man's eye sockets were sunken, and his skin was black...
Ye Lingchen committed each one of the burly man's characteristics to memory. At the same time, he was also planning out the transfiguration technique in his mind.
Soon after, he took out the material and applied it according to sequence on the burly man's face. He used a very slow and light method to ensure that it was applied very evenly and covered completely.
After finishing the application, Ye Lingchen began to apply a part of that material to himself. They were makeup materials used to alter his skin tone.
Ten minutes later, the material on the face of the burly man had completely dried, and Ye Lingchen removed it gently. It formed something similar to that of a human skin mask. He then put it on his face without any hesitation and smoothened it out like a mask.
In addition, there was another important step—painting eyebrows, beards, and other details on the human skin mask.
It was not too difficult for Ye Lingchen. He referred to the burly man's face, and slowly painted all the parts one by one. Once he was done, Sergeant Gao and others were stunned and completely speechless.
They watched Ye Lingchen become another person before their very eyes. If the change did not happen before them, they would have thought that Ye Lingchen was the burly man.
They looked at the comatose burly man and then at Ye Lingchen again. The astonishment in their eyes grew stronger and stronger.
It was amazing! Except for a slight variance in body shape, there was practically no difference at all.
"Master, you're a God." Xu Nan's reverence of Ye Lingchen had reached a point of no return. Her eyes were shining like stars, and Ye Lingchen surprised her time and time again. The first time was when he subdued the traffickers easily; the second was when he caught the trafficker's underground leader; the third was when he fought against the boxing champion; the fourth was when he did the transfiguration.
In her mind, her master was clearly a hero.
"Don't worship Brother, Brother is merely a legend." Ye Lingchen smiled indifferently, then got up and went deeper inside with Sergeant Gao and the others.
It did not take long for a building to be spotted up in the distance. It was rather run down and no one knew when it was built there. It looked like a warehouse with light coming from the inside.
"You can't move forward anymore. Wait here for me," Ye Lingchen whispered.
"Grandmaster Ye, be careful. If something happens, we'll rush in with all our might!" Li Hu said.
"Master, you must be careful!" Xu Nan also said with great concern.
Ye Lingchen nodded and stepped forward.
He imitated the burly man's pace. He walked slowly, and at the same time, he changed his physique slightly so it matched the burly man's. After cultivating the Eight Extremities Brute Training, it was not difficult to modify his physique somewhat.
Ye Lingchen's 100% proficiency in acting also came in handy at that time. He was not nervous at all and went straight to the door of the warehouse.
A group of people patrolled outside and two people were standing at the gate. When they saw Ye Lingchen, they immediately lowered their heads and said respectfully, "Boss!"
Ye Lingchen nodded slightly, but soon after, his entire person was slightly stunned.
What?
Boss?!
Ye Lingchen suddenly felt that he was on the verge of being exposed. What should his next course of action be?
'What should I do now? This is urgent!'

Stairway to Heaven
Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings, far too weak to survive amid the other extraterrestrials that lie dormant across the galaxies. Instead of physical altercations, they would rather engage in verbal abuse, breaking an individual's psyche as a hobby. They excel at deception and manipulation, far too interested in bringing their brothers and sisters down and reaching for the top of their self-made hierarchies. Beyond their questionable nature and moral compasses, they long to find meaning in their lives and put names to the feelings that drive each passing moment. They are insatiable—far too greedy for more knowledge and a supposed understanding of their lives. It's pitiable, really, the way they struggle to find themselves while ravaging their kind through petty wars and conflicts built off of misunderstanding. Humans are complicated, awfully fragile beings. They created words and languages to fill the holes that lived inside their souls, desperate for ways to find meaning in their incredibly short lifespans. They'll waste their entire lives trying to find their so-called passions and reasons for living, acting as if they truly rule the way their lives go, supposed "controllers of their own destiny." Yet, they cannot evade the inevitable visit from death, who stands next to them, ticking the seconds down until their demise.
