I Am A Prodigy - Chapter 750

Amidst the outcries from the Stick Nation, the Elixir Pavilion finally made a response.

[The Elixir Pavilion deems it as our responsibility to save the world. With countless people of the Stick Nation begging for help, we’ll let this slide! However, Sung-Yoon Lee of the Stick Nation is shameless and tramples over the weak. He had sinned greatly within China. As long as he’s willing to issue a public apology and admit that he’s a shameless b*stard, the Elixir Pavilion will open our supplies to the Stick Nation.]

It was a simple statement that immediately stirred the citizens of the Stick Nation.

[F*ck! Is this for real?]

[Wow, the Elixir Pavilion sure is something. It’s finally opening its doors to us.]

[Thank you Elixir Pavilion for giving us this chance. Countless people in the Stick Nation will be saved.]

[Who is this Sung-Yoon Lee? Quickly step up and apologize.]

[Just who is Sung-Yoon Lee? He’s just too despicable for the Elixir Pavilion to call him out like that.]

[Get on it. Please have Sung-Yoon Lee show himself as soon as possible. The earlier he shows up, the more people that can be saved.]

[Those departments in charge, go make your arrest quickly. Countless lives are depending on him!]

…

The power of the masses is strong. It immediately stirred up a commotion on the Stick Nation’s network. Even the phrase “Apologize quickly, Sung-Yoon Lee” made its way to the trending list. Countless media networks were also reporting on it while some people tried to scour the entire country for information regarding Sung-Yoon Lee.

Within the Heaven Pavilion.

Bang!

The table before Sung-Yoon Lee exploded in an instant. His face was scarlet as he breathed laboriously with red eyes. It was obvious that he was extremely aggravated.

“This is too much! I must kill that little brat!”

The power of public opinion was something none could endure. Even if Sung-Yoon Lee was extremely powerful in martial arts, he would still find it hard to swallow when dissed by so many people. It was one thing to ruin his reputation, but asking him to admit his wrongdoings and badmouth himself was beyond humiliation for a martial arts master like him!

“Bunch of nincompoops! Idiots!”

Sung-Yoon Lee read through the comments online, especially those from his own countrymen. He was trembling in rage and could not resist from cursing.

The middle-aged man frowned as well. A faint glow flashed in his eyes. “This kid is quite good at manipulating others’ feelings.”

At that point, who was right was no longer the matter. The people would not care what kind of a person Sung-Yoon Lee was. The people of Stick Nation had only one thought in their mind—Sung-Yoon Lee’s public apology could save them, and that was enough.

Sacrificing one person to save the whole nation. That was something the people of the nation looked forward to.

That kind of vengeance was vicious. A few days prior, Sung-Yoon Lee almost killed Ye Lingchen. This time, Ye Lingchen wanted to ruin him completely!

Crush the spirit!

For an arrogant martial artist, this matter was even worse than death. Moreover, it might give rise to inner demons and impede future progress on the path of martial arts!

Immediately after, the Elixir Pavilion made another announcement.

[The limit is three days. If Sung-Yoon Lee does not show himself in three days, then we will cease the supply of all elixirs to the Stick Nation forever!]

Right at that moment, the power of public opinion was pushed to its peak.

[F*ck! Where’s Sung-Yoon Lee? Come out quick!]

[Are you trying to kill us all? Where are you?]

[Investigate quickly! We don’t have much time!]

[Is it that hard to just make a statement? Get on it!]

[For the Elixir Pavilion to have beef with him, this person is surely good for nothing.]

[It’s rare that Elixir Pavilion granted this chance. The departments in charge in the Stick Nation should grab onto it!]

…

The whole Stick Nation went into an uproar with all its ire directed at Sung-Yoon Lee.

The Warrior’s Department…

Xiang Guocheng and Chen Qi were following the matter. Their faces were painted with a smile.

Xiang Guocheng lamented, “Hehe, this kid really hates to lose. He’s already one upping them so soon.”

“That’s right. He even managed to include Sung-Yoon Lee into his revenge list. It seems he’s really trying to kill his opponent,” Chen Qi said with a nod.

“This kid is still too young. He should just keep the vengefulness to himself. Showing his killing intent to a King Stage martial artist is too brazen for a mid-level Innate Stage like him. I think the Stick Nation won’t just suck it up like that. You should take good care of Miracle Island. I’ve only taken twenty merit points from this kid, yet he’s causing me so much trouble. What a bad trade.”

Chen Qi asked, “Do you think Sung-Yoon Lee would apologize in public?”

Xiang Guochen frowned a little and kept silent for a moment before saying, “If it were me, I would most likely do it. Even if I’m unwilling, the country would force me to do it.”

“That’s right. Little Boy Ye really had Sung-Yoon Lee cornered this time!”

“Hahaha, how wonderful. Those from the Stick Nation wanted to claim the Void Realm to themselves and would even act against our people. They should be taught a lesson!”

“Speaking of which, I’m really looking forward to this. A King Stage expert is actually forced to make a public apology.”

…

All the overseas powerhouses were looking forward to it. Sung-Yoon Lee’s identity was not foreign to the circle of martial artists. That was a King Stage martial artist, an influential figure wherever he went, yet he was forced by a small guy to such an extent. That was just unimaginable.

“Ahhhh, that little brat. That’s it. I’m definitely killing him!” The aura around Sung-Yoon Lee was going out of control. He struck out with his fist and the entire room started shaking violently as a fist-sized hole appeared on the wall!

The others in the Heaven Pavilion were in shock. Everyone could feel Sung-Yoon Lee’s wrath and none dared to aggravate him.

“What is he? Want me to apologize? Impossible!”

“Sung-Yoon, you should apologize,” the middle-aged man said calmly out of the blue.

“M-m-master?” Sung-Yoon Lee looked at the middle-aged man with disbelief in his eyes, his voice trembling.

“Apologize!”

Sung-Yoon Lee’s bloodshot eyes were filled with indignation like an enraged bull. “Just for those two elixirs? For those dumb peasants? I-I-I need to apologize?”

“Just apologize. I’m sure you understand the reason,” the middle-aged man stated calmly.

Sung-Yoon Lee’s expression kept changing as he felt extremely humiliated.

He naturally understood the reason. If he refused to do so, then the people of Stick Nation would all emigrate. Those that remained would also be filled with resentment. By that point, there was no longer any use to develop the nation. No matter how strong they were, they were just a lone leader. The gap with the other countries would only grow bigger.

However…understanding it was one thing, but his heart was truly unresigned.

Being forced to such a stage by an ant-like being. His dignity would not allow him to lower his head. In the future, it would be extremely embarrassing for him to present himself to the martial artists of the world. Ye Lingchen’s plot was just too vicious.

“Huff—”

Sung-Yoon Lee let out a deep breath. His expression turned extremely dark as he said with a hoarse voice, “Fine, I’ll apologize!”

Those words felt as though they carried the weight of a mountain. When he spoke of them, his entire body was trembling violently…
