I Am A Prodigy Chapter 669

"Then I would have to thank Chief Qin. I will surely have the medicine available as soon as possible."
Ye Lingchen said with a smile, then added, "Actually, I've already prepared the script for the TV series. If Chief Qin is interested, you can have a look."
"The script is ready?" Qin Baichuan looked at Ye Lingchen in utter surprise.
The TV series was the reason for his visit. However, that was just a small matter. His visit was just coincidental and he did not expect Ye Lingchen to have it completed. This visit was just to remind him.
He did not expect Ye Lingchen to have the script ready.
"It is." Ye Lingchen nodded, then led Qin Baichuan to the temporary house.
Along the way, Qin Baichuan and Lin Tianxiong had another eye-opening experience. Putting the precious woods aside, the herbs in the garden were growing far too well. It felt as though ginseng with a maturity of a hundred years were commonplace items.
The spiritual energy on this island was rich and dense, absolutely suitable for the growth of herbs. Moreover, most of them should have been transplanted by Ye Lingchen from other regions.
After a short moment of surprise, both of them were lost in their own thoughts.
"Drawing Sword?"
Qing Baichuan looked at the title and his eyes immediately brightened. "Good name! You know about the spirit of drawing swords too?"
Ye Lingchen smiled. "When swordsmen of old meet their rivals, they would draw their sword regardless of how strong the opponent was, even if they were the best swordsman in the world. Although faced with an enemy impossible to defeat, they would still draw their sword. That way, even if they fell under the opponent's sword, they would still be glorified despite their loss. That is the spirit of drawing sword."
"That's right!" Lin Tianxiong nodded approvingly. "Even when outnumbered or trapped, we would still dare to draw our swords! We dare to fight to the last man standing! In other words, the courageous will win! The spirit of drawing sword is the spirit of our military! Where the blade points, all shall perish!"

Following that, both of them were eagerly reading through the script.
Dong Miaomiao did not bother to join them. Being on the island, she had finished reading it some time ago. It was undeniable that despite Ye Lingchen's habit of boasting, he was really talented. She had spent two full hours to finish reading the script, immersing fully into it, unable to let go.
As a girl, she had little interest in military themed things. However, her emotions were still roused by the script, unable to resist its allure.
As martial artists themselves, Qin Baichuan and Lin Tianxiong were reading it much faster. However, their faces started to grow red as the excitement grew in their eyes.
"Good! This is really good!" Qin Baichuan put down the script. "That's how a man should be! This will fully display the warrior's soul of our martial artists!"
"Little Friend Ye, when are you planning to start filming this?" Lin Tianxiong asked, looking at Ye Lingchen.
He was experiencing complicated feelings. Although he knew Ye Lingchen was amazing, the more he came in contact with Ye Lingchen, the greater he seemed to be. If he compared his own grandchildren with Ye Lingchen, they would be considered trash. No, even trash was too good for them. They should be considered as dust.
Lin Tianxiong lamented internally. His grandchildren were too relaxed. He needed to give them better training.
Far away, in a Warrior's Department's branch, Lin Ao sneezed. He then rubbed his nose, somehow having a weird chill running down his spine.
"I'll be getting to it soon. However, in order to make a more accurate filming, I would need the Warrior's Department to provide some martial artists," Ye Lingchen said.
"That's of course. We already agreed to that previously. I'll have the Warrior's Department send some over tomorrow. At the same time, I wish Little Friend Ye to give them some good training!" Qin Baichuan stated.
He paused for a moment, then added, "If need be, you can reduce the firearms and showcase more of their martial arts."

Ye Lingchen's gaze turned serious. Those words were worth thinking over.
He took a deep breath, finally asking, "Chief Qin...what's the purpose for the existence of a martial artist?"
"Of course it's to protect our home and country."
"Then...who's our enemy?" Ye Lingchen continued questioning.
Qin Baichuan and Lin Tianxiong fell silent at the same time. They both exchanged looks, then looked over at Ye Lingchen with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Qin Baichuan furrowed his brows, then shot a glance at Dong Miaomiao, signaling for her to leave.
Ye Lingchen already had his own speculations and probed, "Chief Qin, what is Hell's Gate?"
That question caused both their expression to change immediately.
"You know about Hell's Gate?" Lin Tianxiong exclaimed.
Logically speaking, that name was very childish. However, it was unavoidable. Such a phenomenon was even more unimaginable than childish thoughts.
"We found its information from the Stick Nation's network. Is there really another world out there?" Ye Lingchen's expression turned somber. Beside him, Dong Miaomiao felt anxious. It was one thing to read about it online, but altogether a different matter when confirmed.
"Hell's Gate…" Qin Baichuan thought for a moment before nodding and said, "There's really another world. However, I'm not sure about its actual contents as well."
"Even you're unsure?" This time, Ye Lingchen was really surprised. Qin Baichuan was the person in charge at the Coiling Dragon special training camp, someone at the rank of General, but was still in the dark?
Lin Tianxiong shot a look at Ye Lingchen, "No need to be surprised. A person's rank does not mean much. It's all just a facade for the general public. Moreover, you can think of the Warrior's Department as a training and filtering organization."
"Training and filtering?" Ye Lingchen could extrapolate a lot just from the literal meaning of those words. Training was naturally referring to the training of martial artists. However, filtering should be referring to picking out martial artists with exceptional talent. However, what was the filter for?
Noticing the change in Ye Lingchen's expression, Lin Tianxiong nodded and said, "That's right, it's literally what the word means."
"To defend against Hell's Gate?"
"Yes, and no." Qin Baichuan sighed. "As to what Hell's Gate is, both Old Lin and I have no idea. However, from what the legends tell us, it sounds like transcendence and tearing through space."
"Tearing through space?" Ye Lingchen was intrigued and felt his heart tightened.
Putting all else aside, he had in fact obtained the Cultivation skill. Did that mean that he would be able to tear through space and transcend in the future?
"It is indeed tearing through space, but at the same time, not exactly so. Sometimes, the tear in space would tremble and drop some stuff out of it. It may be a good thing, or a bad thing." Qin Baichuan's expression was serious. He then explained in a low voice, "Three years ago, East Capital experienced a serious earthquake with massive losses. That was caused by the Hell's Gate over there. Moreover, last year's tsunami that hit Atlantis was also caused by Hell's Gate. You should've heard about Dazhou Island that was almost destroyed a hundred years ago. The virus responsible for melanosis also came from Hell's Gate!"
Ye Lingchen gasped, feeling a chill run through his heart.
Although Dazhou Island was called an island, it was actually quite a populated country. A hundred years ago, it was still doing quite well. However, just because of the appearance of melanosis, it almost caused the entire country's population to perish! According to the records, over 80 percent of its populace died!
Regarding melanosis, the internet had a lot of theories. However, the source of the virus was still inconclusive to that very day…
