Chapter 541 Without Any Preparations, Without Any Worry

Many people were still hoping that Ye Lingchen would face embarrassment.In the past, they might have thought that Ye Lingchen was a towering figure after hearing his legends, but after seeing him in person that day, they were thoroughly disappointed and it had completely tarnished the sacred image in their hearts. Also, Ye Lingchen’s merciless taunting earlier had provoked public anger.

Li Chong’s promotion ended and the subsequent promotions continued.

“Wei Hu, promoted from Lower-Class Sentinel to Middle-Class Sentinel!”

It was the same plot all over again, with a Middle-Class Sentinel sparring against Wei Hu.

The martial artists around them relished the occasion, but for Ye Lingchen, it was so much of a bore that he yawned unabashedly.

His conduct elicited contemptuous gazes from all around him.

“Hehe, look at that guy.” Lin Tianxiong looked at Ye Lingchen and shook his head with a wry smile.

“Old Man Lin, is that young man really as powerful as legends say he is?” Qin Baichuan frowned so hard that lines appeared on his forehead. He could not help but shake his head when looking at the lazy and sloppy Ye Lingchen, while his eyes showed a glint of suspiciousness and disappointment.

The first time he heard Ye Lingchen’s name was during a special training a few months ago. The reason it attracted his attention was because Ye Lingchen made Fang Hong’s team stand out.

Later on, Ye Lingchen confronted Earth’s Gate and completed many tasks in quick succession, arousing his interest even more.

However, that guy’s character seemed to be a far cry from being a legend. There did not seem to be any signs of mastery in the slightest.

“Old Man Lin, that kid isn’t your illegitimate child, is he? Could you have helped him complete the tasks in secret?” Hunting Eagle’s chief instructor could not help but ask.

“Just wait and see.” Lin Tianxiong smiled. “I guarantee you’ll be surprised!”

Many elders looked at each other and shook their heads in disbelief.

As a martial artist, one ought to have a deep interest in martial arts. Furthermore, it was only through watching other people’s battles that one could gain something from it. It was impossible for one to look drowsy and disinterested like Ye Lingchen was.

The most important thing was that the spirit of a martial artist was very different from ordinary people. Ye Lingchen’s spirit was not at all prominent.

Ye Lingchen did not pay attention to other people’s thoughts, as usual. At that moment, his brain was in a blank state and he was daydreaming.

The sparring inside the ring was very exciting to others, but in his eyes, it was as boring as a professor from Huaqing University watching two elementary school students competing to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

It was boring, and perhaps that was something that a strong man bemoaned.

Ye Lingchen grumbled to himself and decided that he might as well enter the system interface in order to pass the time.

Rather than just keeping idle, he could try his luck.

His initially bored heart became active in an instant and he even felt some excitement with it.

First thing he looked at was his popularity value.

The earlier night’s iApartment episode did not disappoint Ye Lingchen, as the ratings broke 3%!

It was an extremely amazing result that could definitely be described as going against all laws. In addition, there were rave reviews and intense discussions throughout the internet!

Ye Lingchen’s popularity value was thus able to reach 5,298,769!

Next, he perused his knowledge that had reached 100% proficiency.

Biology, Calligraphy, Drawing, Qi Refinement, Western Medicine, Chemistry, Deutsch, Fashion Design, Russian…

There were many different fields of knowledge.

Since he wanted to accumulate his popularity value, Ye Lingchen would only upgrade his basic knowledge, but at that point, he did it only to pass the time.

After looking at some of the amazing knowledge he had, Ye Lingchen’s eyes felt hot.

He rubbed his hands.

He used up 100,000 popularity points to try his luck at upgrading a basic knowledge!

The golden glow pierced Ye Lingchen’s eyes and whizzed rapidly across all those knowledges that had achieved 100% proficiency. Ye Lingchen could not help but close his eyes in nervousness and did not dare to look anymore.

It was almost done.

Ye Lingchen’s heart was thumping. He took a deep breath and his eyelids parted ever so slightly.

Damn it!

At a glance, Ye Lingchen’s breathing became urgent, and he nearly screamed out loud.

Qi Refinement?!

‘F*CK! F*CKING HELL!’

Ye Lingchen stared at the knowledge that had been settled on.

It really was Qi Refinement!

It was motherf*cking awesome!

That skill was undoubtedly very powerful, and although the visible effects of Qi Refinement did not seem to be as remarkable as other knowledge, it changed a person’s physique and subtly nourished the body.

Ye Lingchen’s five senses and internal organs had been greatly enhanced by Qi Refinement.

To put it bluntly, out of all his knowledge, he envied Qi Refinement the most. If the upgrade was a success, then it would definitely be an earth-shattering one!

However, his original purpose for trying out his luck was to pass the time. He made no preparations at all, and was granted with Qi Refinement!

‘Without any preparations, without any worry, you appeared in my world as you did…’ [1]

Ye Lingchen was itching to belt his heart out.

Under his excited gaze and accompanied by a flash of golden light, Qi Refinement was finally replaced by a new knowledge.

Cultivation!

Did it have to be so direct? Did it have to be so awesome?!

It immediately turned into Cultivation! It was a bit too high-profile, right?

Ye Lingchen’s heart skipped a beat and his lips were dying to reach for his ears.

It was Cultivation! The prodigy would end up being a God in the future!

[Cultivation (Basic): The first step in becoming one with the energy of heaven and earth. It can sustain one’s body and serve one’s self.]

It was a very simple introduction, but one that was packed with awesomeness. Its power was completely uninhibited at all.

With the appearance of Cultivation, the Qi in Ye Lingchen’s body began to change.

If the previous Qi Refinement lacked order and was nothing but the simple absorption of spiritual energy into one’s body, then all that spiritual energy immediately became organized at once and began flowing along the veins in his body, trickling through and cleansing every cell within him.

Such a road map was similar to the inner force methods mentioned in novels, but the difference was that he could become one with the spiritual energy in his body instead of just possessing that spiritual energy.

Ye Lingchen smiled slightly. He could feel the spiritual energy from all around resonating with him. At the thought that he could cultivate to a high level in the future and set off a storm of spiritual energy with a mere gesture, that awesomeness was practically the methods of an immortal!

“Old Man Lin, are you sure that kid is fine?” Qin Baichuan could not help asking.

Lin Tianxiong instinctively turned to look at the smirking Ye Lingchen and was momentarily unable to make up his mind about it. He answered hesitantly, “Probably… I think… Maybe, there’s nothing wrong with him, right?”

“Aside from his lack of attention toward what’s going on inside the ring, he’s probably the only person who can keep himself entertained like that.”

“Yeah. What kind of crazy is he?”

Up in the ring, the elder individuals had a panoramic view of Ye Lingchen’s actions. All of them felt mixed feelings for a moment before finally sighing.

Shortly after that, they noticed that Ye Lingchen’s expression changed abruptly. His smile was stiff, his face was blue and white, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.

Then, Ye Lingchen ran away without looking back…
