I Am A Prodigy

307 The Magnificent Slaps After quite a stir, the three guys were lying on the floor whining.

Hu Yifei overlooked the scene, her eyes carrying a cold gleam of a queen. “You scumbags. If I meet you again in the future, I’ll make you learn why the flowers are red!”

The three guys scrambled to their feet and looked at Hu Yifei in terror. “I dare you to wait here. The people from our sports academy won’t be pushed around!”

With that, they immediately ran outwards.

“Wahhh, Sister Yifei is awesome! Teach me Issen! Teach me Issen! That way I can discipline Lu Xiaobu in the future!” Chen Meijia hugged around Hu Yifei’s thigh excitedly.

“You? Forget Issen[1], even with 10 flashes you can’t defeat my Buddha’s palm!” Lu Xiaobu refuted.

Chen Chichi neared up to Ye Lingchen’s ears, whispering fearfully, “Yifei learned Taekwondo, and she’s the only female black belt amongst them! She’s extremely violent, dominating with fear over our entire class. She’s not someone the average person should cross.”

“Chen Chichi, are you gossiping about me in front of Mr. Ye?!” Chen Chichi was scared motionless as she saw Hu Yifei with gritted teeth and a cold gleam in her eyes.

“Right then, the restaurant manager ran over with a fearful expression, reminding them, “Guys, you should leave quickly. Those three are specially recruited by the sports academy. They all have strong physiques. These people are petty and insolent around this area. They will definitely call for backup.”

The sports academy had a bad reputation around this area. As long as they did not cause too many problems, even if a fight were to break out, they would only be given a slap on the wrist due to their special status. Furthermore, they were extremely united. Offending one would be similar to poking the hornet’s nest. All those around the area would come over for revenge.

“Hehe, am I afraid of them?” Hu Yifei scoffed. Her expression then changed instantly to a serious one. “However, I dislike fighting. Let’s make a move.”

“Too late,” Ye Lingchen stated.

“What’s too late?” The group was caught off guard.

They could hear a shout coming from outside. “With a cloud-piercing arrow, I call forth the sports academy[2]!”

Following that was a rumbling sound. A group of twenty ran wildly into the restaurant. They all wore a standardized black singlet, each filled with an overwhelming presence.

“F*ck! The sports academy is at it again?”

“Look at that commotion, it must be someone offending the sports academy. This is bad.”

“Let’s go, there’s drama to watch.”

The pedestrians were in awe, having their own discussions but none came forward to stop them.

At the lead was a big young man sporting a crew cut. He demanded coldly, “Who dares hurt my people from the sports academy?!”

They swept a glance around, immediately locking onto Ye Lingchen’s table.

“Sister Yifei, can you use your Issen?” Lin Wanyu gave Hu Yifei a pleading look as she whispered.

“That’s twenty people. Techniques are useless now. Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape it the best!” Hu Yifei responded in a low voice.

“Bro, you’ve got the wrong person. The person earlier is my older sister, and I’m the younger sister,” Chen Meijia said weakly with a bitter face.

“Ah, right! We’re also younger sisters.”

“We’re the younger brothers!” Chen Chichi and Lu Xiaobu answered together.

The crew cut guy scoffed, his gaze loathsome. “Do you think I’m stupid? You’ve hurt my men. How do you plan to settle this?”

“How do you think we should settle this?” Ye Lingchen interjected with a smile right at that moment.

“Either these three pretties pick a boyfriend from among us, then we’ll be considered family, or you can pay me doctor fees of RMB100,000. If not, none of you will be leaving this place!” announced the crew cut guy coldly.

Behind him, the group’s eyes were filled with pervertedness. From the moment they entered the door, their gaze had never left the Chen Meijia trio. They were just too pretty. No wonder the three guys from earlier came to harass them. Their taste was spot on.

“Wait a moment and let us consider this,” Ye Lingchen replied.

Several people shifted their gaze onto Ye Linghcen. That was just too cowardly.

The crew cut guy looked at them proudly, as though having them under his grasp.

However, Ye Lingchen slowly took out a notebook from his pocket and started reading. Everyone turned curious and looked closer. They could barely make the line “How to negotiate with morons” written on it.

“Are you done considering?” the crew cut guy asked impatiently.

“Just a moment, the content here is a little complicated,” Ye Lingchen replied calmly, then took out another notebook. The crew cut guy frowned and checked it out, just to see it labeled “How to negotiate with morons, vol.2”.

“You dare toy with me?” The crew cut guy’s expression turned ugly immediately.

With that, he raised his hand and grabbed at Ye Lingchen.

“Brother Ye, lookout!” Lu Xiaobu and Chenchichi were already getting up.

However, that hand only managed to stretch halfway and did not move forward another inch. Ye Lingchen made a casual throw, and the crew cut guy flew away immediately.

“F*ck! You dare retaliate? Brothers, get him!”

The crew cut guy shouted, and twenty men immediately surrounded them.

Chen Chichi and the gang prepared to get up but were instead signaled to stop by Ye Lingchen’s gaze. After that, he walked forward alone.

Looking at Ye Lingchen’s back, they backed off slightly.

“Twerp, don’t you know what place is this? You dare to play the hero?!” The crew cut guy stood up, his expression ugly. “Now I’ll add another condition. Kneel and beg for mercy, or I’ll have you leave here lying down!”

“Kneel and beg for mercy?” Ye Lingchen laughed. “That’s a good idea!”

With that, he placed his hand on the crew cut guy’s shoulder and pressed down forcefully!

The crew cut guy felt an overwhelming force coming through. His legs trembled and fell to the ground with a thud.

“I hate being disrupted during my meal,” Ye Lingchen said softly. That move stunned everyone at the scene.

Hu Yifei and the gang exchanged glances and could see the amazement in each other’s eyes.

“Let’s get him together!” shouted the group from the sports academy as they all rushed up at Ye Lingchen.

“Taste my 10 Dragon Subduing Slaps[3]!”

Ye Lingchen’s face turned serious and raised his right hand, striking as quick as lightning.

Piak piak piak!

The crowd could only see the continual hand movement, each wave accompanied a round of slapping sounds, gliding through the face of all his opponents. The next moment, all twenty of them flew off in all directions, just like the petals scattered by a fairy.

One person single-handedly slapped twenty people without giving them any chance to respond. Such quick and violent slapping technique blew everyone’s mind. Those watching the show and those being slapped were similarly stupefied.

In their eyes, Ye Lingchen’s slaps were like a magnet. The entire group of twenty had seemingly pushed their face forward to Ye Lingchen’s palm just to be slapped.

What an awesome miracle.

Furthermore, after the slaps, all twenty men seemed to have made a line and scattered outwards like flower petals. What a sight to behold.

[1] 弹一闪 (Issen) can be literally translated to “flick, one flash”. Lu Xiaobu is making a wordplay on one flash and making it to 10 flashes.

[2] 一支穿云箭,体育学院来相见 (Literally translated to – with a cloud-piercing arrow, sports academy comes forth) – This phrase is a reference from the movie Kungfu Hustle where the original phrase was 一支穿云箭,千军万马来相见 (with a cloud-piercing arrow, the army comes forth). Generally used as a call for backup.

[3] 降龙十巴掌 (Xiang Long Shi Ba Zhang / 10 Dragon Subduing Slaps), a pun played on 降龍十八掌 (Xiang Long Shi Ba Zhang / 18 Dragon Subduing Palm). They are read very similarly, with only the “Ba” being read with a different inflection.
