I Am A Prodigy Chapter 784

Ye Lingchen put away his spear and stood up, shaking his head, "Weren't you said to be invincible among the same level with the Spirit-Devouring Constitution? How boring! You admitted defeat just like that? Is that all you can take?"
"Pfft!"
Zokawa had suffered internal injuries from the earlier impact, but he had been holding it in. At that moment, he could not hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ye Lingchen with hatred.
Ye Lingchen naturally would not hold back against the martial artists from the Sun Nation. Conflicts did not happen overnight, so if he had the opportunity, he would teach them a lesson.
Soon, someone went up and carried Zokawa off the stage.
On Hellas' side, the contestants were also paying attention to this battle.
"That feels great!" Eris' lips curled into a smile.
After the battle between Arina and Zokawa, Arina was heavily injured and could no longer participate in the battle. However, her counterattack at the critical moment was not effective because of the shameless actions of the Sun Nation. Zokawa actually maintained his right to participate in the battle, which angered them greatly.
They were not afraid of failure, but they were most afraid of being treated unfairly.
Because of that, at the last moment, all five of them cried after losing the battle. It was evident how they felt at that time.
However, they did not expect that the one who helped them vent their anger was actually Ye Lingchen from China's team.
"Do you guys think that Ye Lingchen is interested in sister Arina?" Hera asked suddenly. At the same time, she sized up Ye Lingchen with her beautiful eyes. "He looks quite handsome. He is really manly too!"
The others' hearts raced slightly. It was a possibility.
Ye Lingchen seemed to have been helping Arina to vent her anger the whole time. Was this something that a complete stranger would do?
Arina pursed her lips and her face turned slightly red.
On China's side.
Sun Hongtao stared at Ye Lingchen and his face gradually turned gloomy. "This kid...he's still not coming back!"

"He still wants to continue fighting?" Tie Jun frowned.
They were naturally elated for Ye Lingchen to defeat Zokawa so efficiently. However, as the main fighting power, Ye Lingchen could not afford to lose. There was only Aso left in the Sun Nation, so ye Lingchen did not need to continue fighting.
"This kid, he's too conceited," Sun Hongtao grunted in a low voice. However, he did not throw in the towel in Ye Lingchen's place.
"Ah, I knew it. It's just hopeless." Lin Xi curled her lips and a helpless look appeared on her face. She and Chen Xiaoxiao had not even entered the arena at all. They had been acting as bystanders the entire time. Although it was an easy win, as a martial artist, who would not like to prove their worth?
"Eh?"
Wu Tianbao let out a light exclamation, "Ye Lingchen is still standing in the arena. Could it be that he still wants to continue fighting?"
The others also looked at Ye Lingchen in surprise. Could it be that he was able to continue fighting?
Wu Tianbao continued to explain, "Logically speaking, Ye Lingchen's spiritual energy consumption should be quite significant. On China's side, there are still three people who maintained battle power, and there are two female martial artists who haven't even entered the arena yet. Conservatively speaking, Ye Lingchen has already done well and should let his teammates enter the arena."
"I remember that Ye Lingchen said in the beginning that the Chinese female martial artists need not step foot in the arena. Could it be that he still wants to do this?"
"Zhonghua wins! Let's invite Aso from the Sun Nation to enter the Arena!"
The judge announced. He then looked at Ye Lingchen for confirmation. "Are you not planning to change the candidate?"
"No need. Let's finish the fight quickly." Ye Lingchen said calmly.
"Confident kid." The peak King Stage martial artist from Hellas laughed. Ye Lingchen helped them vent their anger and he found Ye Lingchen a lot more pleasing to the eye.
In the arena.
Seeing the last person from the Sun Nation on the stage, Ye lingchen smiled and said, "Your mutation is the result of Amaterasu Genetics?"

"Yes!" Aso nodded slightly and said coldly, "I've heard of you. You destroyed a lot of the results of Amaterasu Genetics. However, it's also because of this that they joined forces with us to make another breakthrough.
"If you didn't insist on fighting in this battle, I would've just forfeited. However, since you're still here, Don't blame me for taking advantage of the chance to teach you a lesson!"
"Taking advantage of this situation? Teaching me a lesson?" Ye lingchen mocked. "I admire your optimism and wishful thinking. Do you seriously think you can injure me and make our Chinese team lose the next match?"
"After severely injuring you, the first place will naturally belong to Murica!" Black fur had already appeared on Aso's hands, and his claws became sharp, directly entering the mutated state.
"So it's for Murica eh? Hehe—"
"Begin!"
The judge gave the order.
Ye Lingchen's spear spun slightly, and the first move was his ultimate attack!
Aso's legs bent and retreated quickly!
With the Dark Cat gene, he was extremely fast and agile.
"Do you really think that I'm slower than you?"
Ye Lingchen's foot floated in the air as he stepped on air to chase after him!
...
"What's this?"
Wu Tianbao was dumbfounded. He took a deep breath and said with uncertainty, "Is he...showing off his martial arts?
"Ugh...it seems like he's really showing off his martial arts!"
Wu Tianbao was completely speechless. Ye Lingchen was just showing off his skills!
Did he really need to be so cool in a battle with others? Furthermore, flying in the air?
Flight had always been the ability that humans dreamed of. Only when one reached the King Stage could one's physical body take flight. Apart from that, one had to resort to alternate methods.
For example, China's Levity techniques could also make one's body as light as a swallow.
However, before the King Stage, few people could achieve flight. Furthermore, martial artists were a battle hungry bunch. How many would actually study Levity techniques?
Ye Lingchen's skills were indeed enviable.
"His movements are unpredictable and has great speed. This is truly enviable," Wu Tianbao, who was at the peak of the Xiantian realm, admitted enviously.
Ye Lingchen had advanced Parkour and basic Windwalk skill. His Levity techniques worked in tandem, giving him speed comparable to regular King Stage martial artists.
Moreover, not only could he fly, he also had some offensive abilities.
Ye Lingchen circled around Aso and kept striking with both of his feet. Streams of Qi gushed out from under his feet like blades, sweeping towards Aso.
Aso's body moved fluidly like a cat, twisting at strange angles to avoid the attacks.
Right then, Ye Lingchen jumped in the air and stabbed out with his spear!
Aso let out a low growl and his claws tore through the air.
Clang!
The sharp claws collided with the tip of the spear and deflected it.
Following that, Aso jumped rapidly and quickly reached Ye Lingchen's height. His sharp claws once again lashing out. His paws were covered in black fur and the black claws were over a foot in length. They were almost as long as a human's arm!
Right then, Ye Lingchen abandoned his spear and similarly used his claw technique to meet the attack!
Dragon-Catcher Hand!
Bang Bang Bang!
Within thirty seconds, the two figures crisscrossed and actually clashed with over a hundred claw strikes.
On the stage, only the afterimages of claws could be seen dancing. Their figures flashed and their spiritual energy was like vicious blades.
"He withstood the claws of a genetically modified martial artist with his human body! " Wu Tianbao was amazed. "Ye Lingchen's claw technique and endurance training have both reached the peak of perfection. What a formidable person!"
The more he fought, the more frightened he became. A violent instinct gradually awakened in Aso's heart. He actually let out a hissing sound similar to that of a night cat.
It was also at this time that Ye Lingchen shifted his claw into a fist. With a full powered Arhat's Fist Force, a fist landed on Aso's black claw...

The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

The Zürtzün Empire. Once a mighty nation, it was plunged into war, completely devastating it. The people of Zürtzün felt deep bitterness towards their former enemies and intense anger towards their King, who they felt had betrayed them by dragging them into a war they didn't want to be a part of.

But one party proved to be more ruthless than the rest. The Adlerschrank emerged a powerful party and wiped off almost all their opponents right off the map. They seized control of the Imperial capital and the rest of Zürtzün, placing their leader, the Herrscher, at the top position of power. He was charismatic and passionate and the people of the Empire came to adore him more than they ever did their King. With his dangerous fanaticism, he won them over. He promised them wealth. He promised them power. He promised them vengeance. He promised them a war, one where the Empire would reestablish itself and crush its enemies. With the eastern lowlands under their iron grip and the ever-growing wariness from their snow-laden neighbour, Myromnmiat, the Empire and its cohorts are left at a crossroads. Is it finally to reclaim the Empire's lost glory? Or will war make the mighty Zürtzün draw it's last breath? But deep in the heart of the nation, a poison is brewing. The Opera house, the enforcers of the Herrscher's rule and the exterminators of the Empire's "pests", has been neglected and left to rot. Or so it goes, in the eyes of a seemingly insignificant, but hardworking desk writer. He plans to escape the clutches of the Opera house but inadvertently plunges himself headfirst into the house's affairs...
