Chapter 2727: Transmigrated to the Noble Academy as a Special Recruit 10

The livestream signal connected, and the number of viewers surged at an astonishing speed.

After all, Young Master Ling Yao personally served as the notary, and the participants were all new members of the Knight Corps, so this sensory labyrinth game undoubtedly had plenty to watch.

At the labyrinth entrance, the countdown numbers floating in midair emitted a green glow.

Jin Chen stood before the entrance, lowering his head slightly to adjust his black tactical gloves; his distinct-knuckled fingers were wrapped in the fitting material, tightening each fingertip one by one, then loosely clenching and releasing his fist.

The green numbers reset to zero, then abruptly turned into a blazing red, counting upward.

At the same time, Jin Chen's authority wristband projected a virtual screen; both sides' initial scores were 10 points, and a scrolling area below displayed viewers' real-time added score information.

The labyrinth opened.

Jin Chen lifted his gaze and stepped inside.

Having walked less than ten meters, a roar from the star beast came from the side room, full of mental pollution-like penetrative power.

The star beasts in the holographic labyrinth were up to seventy percent similar to real star beasts; participants had no physical weapons, relying solely on their mental power.

As long as one's mental power is strong enough and they are willing to spend precious star emblem points, they can conjure any imagined weapon within the labyrinth.

This is precisely why most special recruits of ordinary background, lacking special mental power training methods, usually lose.

That star beast roared as it leapt from the mist; the students watching the livestream saw Jin Chen raise his hand, a faint light flashed, and a weapon appeared in his grip.

It was neither a photon sword nor an energy cannon, not even a somewhat better alloy weapon.

Just short, plain, and unadorned… a dagger.

Live chat:???

: Are you kidding? This special recruit thinks the star beast is a target in the training camp, believing a small dagger can handle it?

: Still thinking being selected for the Knight Corps is something special—indeed, a foolish special recruit…

: Wasting my time, I'm leaving.

: Can that dagger last three seconds? I bet he'll beg for mercy any second…

: Wait! Something doesn't feel right!

The star beast's massive body lunged forward with a foul wind; Jin Chen did not retreat but advanced, his dagger aiming at the beast's most vulnerable joint.

Sss—

Suddenly, the star beast turned into data specks and dissipated in the passage.

The whole process took only a few breaths.

Jin Chen stood in place, lightly turning his wrist; the dagger spun agilely on his fingertips before being firmly gripped.

Off-screen: …

: I… I fuck??

: What just happened?

: What kind of dagger is that? Are you sure it's not a divine artifact disguised as a dagger?

Not only the students, but Lin Baiyu, watching the livestream from the private lounge with a cold expression, was filled with shock, saying, 'How is that possible!'

He had personally entered this labyrinth countless times, knowing well how troublesome each type of star beast inside could be.

Even he would need considerable effort to deal with them.

That Mo Xiao, meanwhile, still relied on continuously spending points to conjure an energy shield and a ray gun, struggling miserably as he fought and retreated, his progress slow.

Meanwhile, Jin Chen… seemed to deliberately seek out monsters, heading wherever they were.

Even more astonishingly, for lower-level minor monsters, Jin Chen didn't even bother using his dagger.

: I've never seen… mental power capable of killing monsters with just a glance…

: Those monsters vanished instantly when they came within three meters of him! What kind of mental intimidation is this.

: Is he really a special recruit? He must be a retired war god hiding his name, sneaking into our academy, right?

Lin Baiyu felt his blood heating up—that was the excitement and fighting spirit of meeting a true strong opponent, like a worthy match in chess.

He operated his wristband and chose to add a note.

Virtual screen:

: Game timer shows: 5 minutes 16 seconds.

: Lin Baiyu added star emblem points for participant 'Jin Chen': 500 points.

Ling Yao watched intently, his ice wine cup forgotten in his hand; condensed droplets fell on his fingers, and only upon seeing the added information did he snap back, somewhat unconsciously wiping away that drop, a vague emotion welling up in his chest.

He really didn't want to see that damned pervert's name listed alongside everyone else.

: Notary Ling Yao added star emblem points for participant 'Jin Chen': 1000 points.

The golden characters were even more eye-catching.

Inside the labyrinth, Jin Chen caught sight of that added notification popping up on his wristband screen; the corners of his mouth curled up, and he casually tapped the band twice with his fingertips.

: Aaaah! One thousand points! I can barely recognize the points numbers anymore! Can the two young masters take a look at me!

: Two young masters! Look at me! Give me some points! I'll be your ox and horse!

: Did Jin Chen just smile? What does tapping his wristband twice mean??

Xisi, watching on the side with interest, picked up a piece of chocolate, popped it into his mouth, and mumbled a laugh: 'Hey, what are you two up to? Normally you don't care this much about any game.'

Lin Baiyu stared at Jin Chen's smooth, flowing actions on the screen, unusually serious: 'He's very strong; it'd be best if we could make use of him.'

Quite strong…

Ling Yao shifted his posture, sinking into the sofa, yet his gaze could not drift from that figure on the screen.

Thinking of how Jin Chen had broken through his room's security last night… well, he couldn't help but admit that this guy actually had some skill.

Ling Yao flicked his tongue stud, gazing at Jin Chen on the screen, contrasting him with the dark pervert who secretly played with his stuffed bear.

He licked his lips, feeling an inexplicable heat.

: The progress is at ninety-eight percent! Only ten minutes have passed! He won't be trying to break President Lin's clearance record, will he?

: It feels so good to watch! Even better than watching the internal combat training videos of the Federal Military Department!

: I can't take it anymore, I want to kneel down and shout 'big boss'……`

: No one noticed, the game inviter Mo Xiao is still struggling at forty percent progress.
