537 Embarrassmen (2/2)

After parking the car, Lin Ao acted as the tour guide and led Ye Lingchen out of the car.

Quite a few people had their eyes on Ye Lingchen, measuring him up curiously.

”Brother Ye, this is the Warrior's Department's headquarters in Capital City. It can also be considered as training grounds. Let me show you around.” Lin Ao introduced. ”Under normal circumstances, if there were any important matters to discuss, it would be carried out here. Moreover, if there were any challenges or competitions, it would be carried out here as well. Other than that, criminal imprisonment, interrogations, secret documents storage, and many other things are done here too.”

Ye Lingchen nodded. He scanned the area and noticed that everyone here was a martial artist with decent abilities!

”Those that made it here had at least taken part in the special training camps,” Lin Ao added. ”Blue Wolf, Coiled Dragon, Ferocious Tiger, and Hunting Eagle. The four special training camps are here for the matter of Amaterasu Genetics. We're also taking this chance to go through some position adjustments.”

They talked while on the move, and very quickly, arrived at a room.

It was a spacious training room. Looking around, it looked similar to a gym. However, the equipment was totally different!

Moreover, the wall was printed with two lines of words. ”The more you sweat, the less you bleed!”

For some reason, Ye Lingchen felt a little awkward when he saw those words.

A group of martial artists was huddled together in a heated discussion.

”Brother Tiger, do your best. Crush him!”

”Brother Rhino, put in more strength! It's just a little bit more!”

In the group, two martial artists were moving a huge slab of rock. That rock looked huge, but the weight could be adjusted. On its top was an indicator showing that both of them reached a weight of 100kg!

Finally, the one called Brother Tiger held out for a longer time and achieved victory. He was immediately met with booing sounds.

”Brother Lin, you're finally here.” Right then, someone noticed Lin Ao. Following that, they also noticed Ye Lingchen. All their eyes glimmered as they looked at him, judging quietly.

They had more or less heard some rumors and knew who Lin Ao was picking up.

Martial artists who managed to go through the four special training camps were quite strong. Each of them had their pride. Although they have heard of Ye Lingchen's legends, that was the first time they saw him in person!

”You must be Ye Lingchen. I've long heard of your great name. I've also heard that you're a celebrity. Nice to meet you.” The victorious Brother Tiger with a bulky body stood up and greeted Ye Lingchen.

However, he heavily emphasized on the word celebrity. His tone was a little condescending, charged with sarcasm.

To these martial artists, celebrities were looked down upon and were equated with tastelessness and sissies.

”I've been told of your legendary feats, but this is my first time seeing you in person. That was an embarrassing moment. I hope our performance is acceptable to you,” Rhino chimed in, similarly sarcastic.

”Unacceptable.”

Such a simple and straightforward answer was beyond their expectations. It caused the smile on their faces to lock in place as they wondered if they had misheard.

”Although I don't want to hurt your pride, your performance was truly an embarrassment. Perhaps...it could not even be considered an embarrassment…”
