I Am A Prodigy Chapter 155 Nemesis!

Maniac Chu’s body fell to the ground, and along with it Leopard and the gang’s hopes.

Their eyes widened and bodies trembled as they stared at the skinny man, feeling fear coursing through them.

Terrifying!

Absolutely terrifying!

Maniac Chu was someone with great strength that they looked up to. Furthermore, he had just joined the Warrior’s Department and undergone over a month of training with them. They did not expect him to be so easily outmatched by the skinny man.

Who would have thought that Brother Chu who was still bragging a moment ago would be incapacitated on the ground in just the blink of an eye?

“Anyone else want to fight back?”

The skinny man’s voice was hoarse and carried a chill, causing them to unwittingly shiver as he spoke.

Thud!

Leopard quickly knelt on the ground, begging in fear, “Brother Dragon please don’t kill me. I’ll give you anything.”

Brother Dragon nodded in satisfaction, then said, “Bring that braggart along as well. Have his family pay RMB10,000,000 for ransom!”

After that, he once again looked towards Ye Lingchen, asking him in a cold tone, “Are you going to remain stubborn? You’ve won a total of RMB38,400,000. Between money and your life, which is more important? Think carefully about it!”

He stood there confidently, waiting for Ye Lingchen to pass him the money.

The scene earlier should be sufficient for Ye Lingchen to be scared for life!

However, the panicked reaction he anticipated did not happen. Ye Lingchen was still as collected as ever, calmly speaking, “I’ll give you guys a chance. Go turn yourself in.”

NANI[1]?! 

All parties were dumbstruck!

“Good one!”

Maniac Chu turned his head over with great difficulty to look at Ye Lingchen’s back as he lay on the ground and roared, “It was not a mistake for me to take you as my goal previously. Although you’re no longer my match, your bravery alone is worthy of being my comrade! Good one!”

Meanwhile, Leopard and the rest had their mind blown. Ye Lingchen’s words left them in a daze. In their worldview, such an ignorant person should never have existed.

A hotheaded troublemaker!

That was the second time Brother Dragon doubted his ears. His gaze towards Ye Lingchen turned cold and shook his head. “Another young man that likes to brag. Bragging might feel good, but it won’t end well. Go break his legs.”

With that, the thugs surrounded Ye Lingchen.

They tapped the golf clubs in their hands, as though ready to swing it at Ye Lingchen at any moment.

Just then, a faint breeze could be felt. It tossed up strands of Ye Lingchen’s hair, creating a serious and suffocating atmosphere around him.

Leopard and the rest stared at the stoic Ye Lingchen, a thought suddenly entered their mind…’This is no ordinary person.’

Li Muxue and Huang Xiaomeng were caught by surprise, then both of them ducked together.

The next instant, Ye Lingchen made his move!

His body flew in the air like a fish leaping through the dragon’s gate[2], carrying with him a terrifying aura. He then followed by extending a single leg, sweeping it like a dragon’s tail!

That kick seemingly robbed the moon of its light, leaving a beautiful disc-shaped arc in the air!

Bang, bang, bang!

They only saw a blur in front of their eyes, followed by the thugs flying backward in various directions, scattering them everywhere.

Teeth went flying and a shoe print was left on their faces. They crashed on the ground and were instantly knocked out.

“OMG!”

Leopard exclaimed loudly as he was flabbergasted, then unwittingly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

They exchanged glances and remained silent for quite some time.

‘That’s a real expert!’

Brother Dragon frowned. His lips twitched and made a “tch” sound.

The skinny man looked at Ye Lingchen with a sharp, cutting aura emanating from between his brows. He then walked up slowly towards Ye Lingchen.

At that moment, the entire world around them quietened down.

Everyone felt their hearts almost jump out of their chests, every heartbeat audible.

Leopard and the gang’s face turned ashen under such a tense atmosphere. Their teeth chattered like crazy and their blood felt as though it were beginning to freeze.

He was anxious!

That was too exhilarating!

It was scarier than any horror film. Was that the scent of death?

Maniac Chu lay helplessly on the ground. He wanted to stand up and fight beside Ye Lingchen badly.

In his mind, Ye Lingchen was not a match for that skinny man!

If he was outmatched, what more could Ye Lingchen do?

If they fought together with him focusing on the attack while Ye Lingchen focused on assisting him, they might stand a chance.

However, his hand and leg were seriously injured, it was impossible to recover in such a short time.

‘We’re done for!’ Maniac Chu despaired.

Meanwhile, the skinny man had already reached Ye Lingchen’s side. His eyes were like that of a venomous snake, cunning and vicious. “You…”

Just as he started his sentence, Ye Lingchen had taken action!

Shifting his body, his movements were the same as Maniac Chu’s. Cutting upwards with a roundhouse kick!

The skinny man’s lips turned into a contemptuous smile, intercepting with his hand once more!

However, this time, an immeasurable strength like that of a boulder burst forth, crushing everything before it!

Crack!

The bones in the skinny man’s arm broke. The leg continued without slowing down and landed square on his face!

Whoosh—

His entire body flew upwards, soaring through the air like a rocket.

Everyone watched as he flew across the sky in an arc, crashing into the ground after flying for tens of meters.

He was knocked out before he could make a sound, laying still like a dead dog.

The same movement, yet the effects were like heaven and earth!

What the f*ck?!

Maniac Chu’s eyes almost popped out of its sockets. His mind was blown.

‘How can he be that strong?!’

He suddenly wanted to cry. To be able to remain stoic towards all his provocations and keeping his composure, that was the real expert!

Leopard and the rest were both surprised and overjoyed.

They were surprised that Ye Lingchen was much stronger than they had imagined and overjoyed that they were saved miraculously just like that.

“So much nonsense,” Ye Lingchen said calmly as he shook his head.

Following that, his gaze locked onto Brother Dragon and he called the police.

Sounds of sirens could be heard from a distance.

Shortly after, a total of five police cars showed up. It was obvious how important apprehending Brother Dragon was to them.

At the lead was a short hair female officer that rushed down the car. She was in her uniform and was brimming with passion. Her expression looked both serious and excited at the same time.

When she saw Ye Lingchen, she was taken aback. “Oh, It’s you?”

Ye Lingchen was similarly shocked. This female officer was the same one that he had met on the bus, Xu Nan.

Xu Nan laughed immediately, “What a coincidence. The two human traffickers from before were caught by you, and now their leader is also caught by you. Amazing!”

‘What?!’

‘It’s him! It’s actually him?!’

Brother Dragon’s eyes turned red and glared at Ye Lingchen. Within his teary eyes were a mix of both anger and sadness.

Nemesis!

‘He is my f*cking nemesis!!!’

[1] 纳尼 (Na Ni) – To our dear readers that are all caught up with manga/anime culture and memes, kudos to you. This is not a proper term in Chinese, merely two characters used to reflect on the Japanese term “なに” meaning “what”. This term is widely used in manga and anime, then made its way into memes as well. The term made its way into various colloquial usage in modern Chinese culture.

[2] 鱼跃龙门 (Fish leaping through the dragon’s gate). According to Chinese mythology, when a carp/koi leap over the dragon’s gate (part of the Yellow River that’s located at Togtoh County’s canyon region within Inner Mongolia) it would then transform from a fish to a dragon. This phrase is commonly used for either its literal meaning of making a great leap, or it could be used to describe a transformation process. In the context of this paragraph, it is merely a fancy way of saying Ye Lingchen made an impressive jump/leap.
