Chapter 2750: Transmigrated to the Noble Academy as a Special Recruit 35

On the Ghost Ship.

Ling Yao relied on the micro-tracker installed by Lin Baiyu on his wristband, continuously sending the ship's real-time coordinates to the outside.

At the same time, he finally found the heavily locked prison cell in the ship's lower cargo hold.

Through the narrow observation window, more than a dozen figures could be seen inside, either sitting or lying, all wounded and looking exhausted.

Two of them were Instructor Chu and his assistant, known for their sternness at the academy.

Ling Yao used the same method he had used to break his bonds, damaging the lock and slipping inside.

"Instructor Chu!" Ling Yao lowered his voice and greeted those inside.

In the deathly silent prison cell, everyone stared up in shock.

Seeing Ling Yao burst in, Instructor Chu was more shocked than if he had seen a ghost: "... Young Master Ling?"

"How did you get here? You... were you also captured?"

Ling Yao grinned flamboyantly: "I'm here to rescue you!"

Sixteen battle-hardened, muscular warriors looked at this pampered, delicate-skinned young master before them and fell silent collectively.

"What merit or ability do you have? Why have you come?"

"We're under a lot of pressure!"

Ling Yao ignored their complex gazes and quickly used the device on his wristband to unlock their shackles one by one.

Just as he was halfway through, the entire ship shuddered violently, and the alarm lights flashed madly.

"Oh no, you must have been discovered!"

Instructor Chu, experienced, instantly judged the situation.

He made a snap decision: "We must seize the main control room immediately and take control of the ship. Young Master Ling, stay close to us!"

"Oh oh, okay! You guys first have some nutrient fluid!"

In this life‑risking operation, Ling Yao was very self‑aware and immediately put aside his young‑master temper.

The group felt their way toward the ship's midsection command area.

Just as they approached, they heard the space pirate leader's furious roar from inside.

"An ambush by the military?"

"Damn! How could my Ghost system be locked on? … No! No! It's Ling Yao! He must have something weird on him!"

"Go! Grab him and bring him to me—alive!"

"You few, notify all the ships: cheer up for me! Tell them—if the military dares a strong attack, I'll activate the ship's self‑destruct! I'll drag these captives, plus that Ling family brat, down with me! See who can afford the loss!"

Ling Yao, hiding around the corridor corner: "..."

"I'm losing! I'm losing big time!"

"My boyfriend's still waiting for me outside!"

"Who wants to go down with you, you ugly monster bandit leader!"

Ling Yao muttered to himself, then the experienced Instructor Chu grabbed him and quickly pulled him into the shadow of the adjacent equipment room.

At the same time.

Jin Chen grabbed a gun, changed into a training uniform on the battle star cruiser, then piloted a single‑person craft straight for the pirate ship.

Lin Baiyu, still working on the encirclement plan, saw the battle star map screen:???

"Jin Chen! What is he doing? There are over a dozen pirate ships there, and the main ship alone has hundreds of pirates! Is he going alone?"

Lin Baiyu hadn't received a signal from Ling Yao for ten minutes, his brow furrowed as he watched the single‑person craft rush toward the ship: "He's going to save Ayao, Brother, I'm going too—Ayao's signal has been cut off."

"... Tsk." Lin Baiyu was speechless.

"What plan to make? Today's plan is just to charge straight in!"

"【Successfully infiltrated the Ghost Ship's main control system, Host, charge!】" Ling Gun Gun threw a punch, "【Let's pull off a big one!】"

The ship's entire lighting system instantly went out.

"Damn! What's going on? Who cut the power!"

"Are the military's special forces sneaking up? Be careful!"

The sudden darkness turned the pirates, who relied on various detection devices, into headless flies.

Only the faint aiming lasers and energy indicators built into their weapons traced scattered, eerie points of light in the dark.

To Jin Chen, however, this darkness was like broad daylight.

His figure melted into the shadows like a top‑tier assassin; when he encountered lone or small patrols of pirates, his silenced pistol struck silently.

When close enough that no gun was needed, his slender fingertips twitched—a dagger swept across a throat, spilling warm blood, and a large swath fell silently.

His military boots stepped on the ground, fresh blood spreading like a laid‑out red carpet as he marched step by step toward the ship's main control room.

Wherever Jin Chen passed, the control system would restore lighting to that small area.

Lights blinked on one after another, illuminating pirates sprawled helter‑skelter in pools of blood, dead in various poses, and blood winding across the floor.

The position recorder on Jin Chen's battle uniform wrist transmitted the slaughter in real time to the main star cruiser's command center big screen.

The various battle‑hardened general‑colonels: "..."

Lin Baiyu's adjutant wiped his face: "... Compared to him, I'm practically a raw recruit."

"Who would believe this person hasn't even graduated from the academy—and he didn't even attend a military school!"

Another officer wearing a colonel's insignia twitched the corner of his mouth: "I even get the feeling… this isn't the way of a regular army."

He's practically more like a bandit than that gang of the most vicious pirates.

Lin Baiyu snapped out of his shock and issued the order: "A rare opportunity! All ships, hear my command—launch a full‑scale attack according to the plan! Coordinating with Jin Chen's actions, we must rescue everyone and annihilate the pirates."

——

Ling Yao was dragged and hidden in the corridor corner outside the main control room.

Chu Instructor and the other soldiers braced for battle, gripping tightly the weapons they had seized.

The smell of blood in the air grew stronger; they didn't know why, nor dared to rush out, unsure whether it was friend or foe.

Ling Yao, however, caught a faint whiff of familiar, bone-deep agarwood from the thick stench of blood.

The scent was very faint, almost completely masked by the bloodiness, but Ling Yao would never mistake it.

"Jin Chen has arrived!" Ling Yao blurted out.

The heart that had been suspended in his throat fell heavily back to where it belonged.

Immediately afterward he worried again—how many ruthless space pirates remained on this ship, and how dangerous it would be for Jin Chen to charge in alone!

As his thoughts churned, the flickering lights in the direction of the main control room came on one after another.

The light dispelled the darkness and also illuminated the corridor leading to the main control room.

Ling Yao and the soldiers hiding in the darkness finally could see the scene before them; everyone sucked in a cold breath, plunged into shock.

Even Chu Instructor, the veteran who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

Only saw that opposite the corridor, bodies of space pirates lay scattered haphazardly, their fatal wounds clean—each a single blow that killed.

And the one who had caused all this, Jin Chen, stood at the entrance of the main control room, kicked the door open with his long legs, his black training uniform stained with large patches of dark red blood.

Chu Instructor had no doubt that, in Jin Chen's eyes at this moment, anything—even a random piece of metal picked up offhand—could become a weapon to reap lives.

The surviving space pirates finally came to their senses from the terror of the slaughter, letting out desperate, mad howls as they attempted a final resistance.

But the hatch locked shut for no reason, the ventilation system abruptly stopped, and the gravity field shifted subtly…

All these interferences left the space pirates dazed and confused, while the military's main fleet launched a fierce attack from the outskirts, driving the pirates utterly into desperation.

The space pirate leader took a bullet in each shoulder, knowing he could not escape today; at the end of his rope, his face showed an extremely ferocious, distorted smile.

He lunged toward the toolbox beside the main console, and with his uninjured hand grabbed two test tubes at random from inside.

"Let's die together!!"

The space pirate leader roared, slamming the two test tubes hard onto the ground.

"Careful, it's a spiritual power turbulence catalytic agent!" Chu Instructor's pupils contracted sharply as he issued a heart-rending warning.

He had experienced the cruelty of the frontier battlefield; he knew all too well how terrifying this thing was!

Even inhaling a trace of the volatile gas was enough to shatter the mind of the strongest warrior, plunging him into indiscriminate, frenzied slaughter.

In the flash of an instant, Chu Instructor grabbed Ling Yao, who had tried to rush forward, and yanked him back hard, his shoulder slamming into the isolation door between the corridor and the main control room.

"Jin Chen!!!" Ling Yao's startled cry was cut off by the door that slammed shut suddenly.

He desperately pounded on the observation window of the door, watching helplessly as the two test tubes shattered beside Jin Chen's feet, the liquid splattering everywhere and vaporizing into mist.

Inside the door, Jin Chen reacted in time, sealing his mouth and nose.

But the mist spread quickly, and he inevitably inhaled a hint of sweet-smelling gas.

It reeked.

Jin Chen furrowed his brows, raised his hand, and pulled the trigger.

The bullet pierced the space pirate leader's brow.
