Hei Feng thought for a mont and said, "Alright, I can keep it a secret and I'm willing to pay a billion gold coins."
Despite the generous offer, Lin Chen still shook his head.
Lin Chen knew very well that the longer he stayed in such a dangerous place, the more perilous it would beco—best to leave early.
"Even if I teach you, you might think my master wouldn't know, but the strength of my master is beyond your imagination. Nothing escapes his control. I cannot take this risk, or both of us might die." Lin Chen put the responsibility on a non-existent master.
"In that case, forget it then." Hei Feng was slightly startled by Lin Chen's words.
He knew that Lin Chen wasn't trying to scare him, and felt even more wary of Lin Chen's supposed master.
At this mont, the voice of Black Rose echoed in Hei Feng's mind.
"Boss, I just tried to probe Lin Chen's spiritual world, but as soon as my spiritual power entered, it was devoured. His spiritual power is terrifying," Black Rose reported to Hei Feng.
A fourteen-year-old kid with such strong spiritual power—this further confird Hei Feng's judgnt that there was a super-strong entity behind Lin Chen.
Hei Feng took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Lin Chen, in consideration of you and your master, I will leave the Star Academy's people untouched, but as for others on the planet..."
Lin Chen understood what he ant and nodded, "Thank you, Commander. You may treat others as you wish, but my master might still be traveling on this planet, so I advise the commander to not be too bloody, or it might provoke my master's displeasure, and then..."
Lin Chen didn't finish his sentence, but Hei Feng shivered slightly.
The wrath of a super-strong entity was sothing he couldn't possibly endure.
Hei Feng nodded, "Rest assured, I will have my n show restraint. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lin Chen."
Lin Chen smiled, "Since the matter is settled, I'll head back to the planet."
Hei Feng smiled, "I originally wanted to invite Mr. Lin Chen to a al here, but since you're pressed for ti, it'll have to wait for next ti."
"Alright, until we et again," Lin Chen smiled.
At this mont, Poison Rose walked in from outside, "Mr. Lin Chen, let escort you back."
Lin Chen nodded, then left with Poison Rose.
On the way, Poison Rose said with a smile, "You're the first person to leave the main ship safely."
Lin Chen smiled, "Is that so? Seems I'm quite lucky."
"You're joking, sir. In fact, our Death Legion is not as terrible as people say—we have stricter discipline than regular troops," said Black Rose with a smile.
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I already felt the strict discipline of your legion on the spaceship."
"Mr. Lin Chen, our commander holds you in high regard, and he hopes you can say a few kind words to your master on his behalf."
Lin Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I certainly will."
Back on the warship, Hei Feng asked coldly, "What happened just now?"
With a look of apprehension, Poison Rose replied, "Commander, the spiritual defense of the other party is too strong, I couldn't break through, and their counterattack was very sharp. I think Mr. Lin Chen showed rcy to ; otherwise, I might have beco a cripple."
"So it seems this young man must have a super-strong entity backing him," Hei Feng said to himself.
"Yes, there is no doubt about it. His tactical abilities and spiritual power are too strong. Only with a super-strong entity behind him can it be explained," Poison Rose said.
Hei Feng nodded, "Yes, your spiritual power is the strongest in our Hei An Legion—even a star-ranked expert would easily break it, and yet that young man turned the tables. It seems the entity behind him is extraordinary."
"Hmm, the spiritual defense wasn't his own ability but set up by a super-strong entity. So, my actions just now must be known to them. I hope they won't hold a grudge," Poison Rose said.
Hei Feng waved his hand, "It's alright. After all, you were just probing and gained nothing valuable. I believe they shouldn't hold you accountable. Now, pass on the orders: the next cleanup operation should be gentle, try not to kill anyone, or we'll really antagonize that super-strong entity, and that would be disastrous for us."
Poison Rose nodded, "Rest assured, Commander. I'll issue the orders imdiately."
At this point, Lin Chen had already returned to the academy.
The dean and others greeted him anxiously, "Lin Chen, how did it go?"
Lin Chen smiled, "It's resolved; they won't touch our academy, and I trust their pillaging on this planet will be relatively gentle, without too much bloodshed."
In reality, both the commander and the dean were fooled by Lin Chen.
The super-strong entity was entirely fictional, and if Hei Feng knew he'd been tricked, he might have flayed Lin Chen alive.
Although the crisis was resolved, Lin Chen felt no joy in his heart.
After all, he got through this by deception, not his own strength.
If Lin Chen encountered soone unreasonable and aggressive who acted rashly, the supposed master would be of no use.
So now Lin Chen understood—enhancing his own strength is the top priority.
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, the dean sighed with relief, "That's great. Lin Chen, on behalf of the entire planet, thank you. If it weren't for you, this place might have been a river of blood by now."
"Dean, what does the future hold for this planet?" Lin Chen curiously asked.
"In the future, this planet will be governed by the Interstellar Alliance. There will be so changes to the planet, but the major structure won't change," the dean said.
Sighing, the dean continued, "Lin Chen, I feel really ashad. Although I am a star-ranked expert, I couldn't do anything against the star pirates, and it was up to you to save everyone."
Lin Chen smiled, "That's not true. Your strength is enough for self-defense; staying was for the academy and the planet. Your courage alone is admirable to ."
After exchanging a few words with the dean, Lin Chen returned to the training room.
Seeing Lin Chen return, Tang Waner and Tang Fei eagerly asked, "How did it go? Did the dean and the others resolve it?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Now you can focus on training; the danger has been resolved."
However, Lin Chen didn't tell them that it was not the dean who resolved their dilemma; it was him.
During this period, Lin Chen, Tang Waner, and Tang Fei continued training inside the arena.
Outside, no large-scale bloody incident occurred; the Death Legion was indeed gentle, only plundering all the planet's resources.
Two months later, Lin Chen's strength had reached the Earth Rank Level 9.
