Chapter 2759

Twenty minutes later.

On the combat platform, the two instructors who had been teaching at the military academy for many years and were quite capable helped each other up.

They could feel that Jin Chen held back his strength from start to finish, giving them face; it was less a sparring and more a guidance match, yet he guided them so thoroughly they had no power to fight back—it was outright one-sided suppression.

Just moments ago they were clenching their fists, wondering if they could get a chance to spar with this newly promoted captain, but now they all fell silent, leaving only admiration as vast as a rushing river.

What does this mean? It means their First Legion has produced a war god!

Thank you, marshal! Thank you, young master! In time they unearthed this gem, Captain Jin Chen, for the First Legion!

Jin Chen leapt down from the platform and strode straight toward Ling Yao, who had been standing in the front row.

Ling Yao's gaze dazed for a moment; his black training uniform perfectly showed his boyfriend's physique, unlike before when he first met him—a barely noticeable, slightly gloomy special recruitment student who was now a completely different person.

Jin Chen was dazzling, strong, decisive in combat—a mighty figure beyond reach in everyone's eyes.

He was his sole beloved.

Jin Chen approached, still carrying aggressive hormones mixed with the scent of agarwood that hit the face.

Ling Yao nearly went weak at the knees and his heart raced from that overwhelming scent; if the setting weren't inappropriate, he would have lunged forward to cling to him.

With too many people around, Jin Chen merely pinched the back of his neck.

Just that simple motion made Ling Yao's lower back go numb, nearly making him lose his stance; his cheeks flushed red and his mind was forced to start wandering wildly.

Jin Chen was attending to the marshal and several generals when he noticed Ling Yao's spaced-out, dazed, silly expression and couldn't help finding it funny.

The two instructors seemed utterly convinced, yet wanted to test him, asking if Jin Chen would be interested in becoming a specially hired coach at the military academy.

Rules and all could be made an exception for him!

"I still have two years before graduating from the academy," Jin Chen said, "During this time I'd rather just enjoy campus life in peace."

Lin Baiyu chimed in, "We can't really let Ling Yao go running off to the military academy with us."

What could the bigwigs say? Having multiple outstanding captain students at Guizu Xueyuan also demonstrates federal strength, so they could only smile and show understanding.

Jin Chen timely proposed his leave, pulling the still dazed Ling Yao away.

Arriving at a quieter corridor, Jin Chen pinched his bloody-red earlobe and chuckled low: "What are you thinking about? Your soul's flown away."

Ling Yao's ears were deathly itchy; a pinch made him whimper and lean in, he licked his dry lips and exclaimed, "I want to kiss you—first I'll kiss you for fifty thousand star coins! I wanted to kiss you when I watched you fight earlier……so handsome……"

Young Master Ling may be bold, but even in this proper military department he still reined himself in a bit.

Moreover, this place will later be where his family's captain works; we need to be careful about the impact on the undead later.

He suppressed the urge to lunge forward, tightly holding Jin Chen's hand, fingers squeezing hard into the gaps between his fingers, forming a ten-finger interlock, palms pressed together, feeling each other's pulse.

After going downstairs, before Ling Yao could even get a kiss, out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of the front hall again—Fleming was helped in by someone.

Ling Yao's good mood instantly scattered, his brows knitting together.

Earlier he had been focused on soothing Jin Chen, never freeing a hand to deal with that stinking dog that dared to cause trouble; he merely gave his family a heads-up.

Now, seeing again the culprit who almost ruined Jin Chen's treatment before it even began, his anger flared up.

If it weren't for Jin Chen's extraordinary self-control, back then Fleming would have forcibly barged into the treatment room to vent his anger on Corellich, and the consequences would have been unthinkable.

"Alright." Jin Chen sensed Ling Yao's mood shift, lowered his head and gave him a quick kiss, soothing, "He's here to handle his discharge procedures."

Fleming, supported by his family, had his body in a fixed cast, his steps unsteady.

Even if his family had some influence in the military, under the joint pressure of the Ling and Lin families, he still had to get lost.

Ling Yao clenched his back teeth, "I still want to kick him twice to vent my anger!"

Jin Chen chuckled, reached out and pinched his puffy nose, "No need for our young master to get his hands dirty—someone will naturally take good care of him."

Ling Yao thought about it and agreed.

Quibbling with such a scumbag is pure waste of time; his energy spent on his boyfriend isn't even enough! He muttered loudly.

Also, after returning to the academy, Ling Yao learned what Jin Chen had actually done during the half-day he disappeared before Ling Yao went alone to the star pirate ship to carry out the reckless plan.

Even with Lin Baiyu and Shi Heng secretly helping handle the aftermath, Eric now resembles a mad dog backed into a corner, actually using the pretext that Jin Chen tried to kill him to launch a Star Crown Gambit game challenge against Jin Chen.

Eric knows full well that, whether comparing spiritual power or genuine hand-to-hand combat technique, he has no chance of winning against Jin Chen.

Thus, he chose the luck-based survival game in the Star Crown Gambit that, up to now, the fewest people dare to pick and is the most uncontrollable.

The rules are similar to ancient Earth's Russian roulette—purely a gamble with one's life.

When this news reached Ling Yao's ears, he was sipping afternoon tea; hearing it, he almost crushed the cup.

What a Eric—he repeatedly schemed to frame him before, and now he dares to aim his schemes at Jin Chen, even using this method, really treating Ling Yao as if he were made of clay!

Previously, busy dating Jin Chen, he never had a free hand to deal with that persistent madman; now he finally has an opportunity.

Young Master Ling Yao, in a fit of anger, turned Eric's life from birth to the present inside out, including the shady deeds of his eighteen generations of ancestors; without investigation one wouldn't know, and he hadn't expected Eric to still harbor a steadfast intention to kill him.

Now, Eric not only loses the right to initiate the game, but even his qualification to remain in the academy is gone.

On the day Eric was expelled and told to get lost by the academy, Ling Yao, in good spirits, took Jin Chen's hand and returned to the luxurious Zhuang Yuan of the Ling family.

Ling Gun Gun perched on Jin Chen's shoulder, descended with them from the aircraft, and still clung to the original plot, flipping it back and forth, shaking his head and sighing.

【Eric's unlucky dad is back—what a son who drags his father down!】

In the original plot, the segment where Eric's supposedly sacrificed father returns was supposed to take place at the military's award ceremony.

At that time, Eric, having plundered spiritual power from his original self, was early recruited by the military, his future bright and unrivaled.

Meanwhile, Ling Yao suffered severe injuries, repeatedly losing consciousness in the treatment chamber.

Eric's father, as one of the most loyal and capable subordinates of the Ling family patriarch, showed no tolerance for his son's act of avenging his father by sending the "son of the father's killer" Ling Yao to the treatment facility, cutting ties completely.

【Eric's father is so miserable he wants to die, quit his job, and is forced to bear his son's sins—truly sinful.】 Ling Gun Gun.

So Jin Chen is still somewhat looking forward to seeing how this now penniless, notorious Eric will react when faced with an impending promotion, receiving a huge mission reward enough to guarantee his father a worry-free livelihood for the rest of his life.

Ling Gun Gun extended his claw, 【I bet he'll burst into tears, drop to his knees begging for mercy—he's been expelled, his reputation ruined, and now he's still hoping his dad will support him!】

Jin Chen and Ling Gun Gun have made many bets before.

This time, Jin Chen thinks he will win.

【That I bet, Ailike will still hate his father, and even want to get rid of him.】
