Chapter 1351 Accident
They are writing their own legendary chapters. Their stories will forever shine among the stars, inspiring generations of people to bravely step into the unknown depths of the universe...

In the vast interstellar space, a sudden energy storm swept across the simulated battlefield of the Interstellar Military Academy like a roaring beast. Dean Zhou Xing was concentrating on supervising this actual combat exercise when suddenly, an alarm sounded and an out-of-control armor rushed towards the abandoned area like a wild horse.

Zhou Xing frowned and quickly activated the emergency defense system. At this moment, a slender but tough figure ejected from the armor. It was Ling Xue. She flipped flexibly in the air, trying to stabilize her body, but accidentally bumped into Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing felt a strong force coming at him, and his body staggered slightly.

"What's going on?" Zhou Xing frowned. After steadying himself, he immediately saw the reckless girl.

After Ling Xue landed, she quickly stood up and looked at Zhou Xing with a firm gaze, "Reporting to the Dean, the battle armor suddenly malfunctioned in the simulated battlefield, and I was forced to eject to escape."

Zhou Xing looked at her, feeling somewhat unhappy, but he still suppressed his anger and said, "Why did such a malfunction occur? This is not the performance of a qualified commander."

Ling Xue met Zhou Xing's gaze without flinching, "Dean, this is an accident, but I am confident that I can prove my strength in actual combat."

Zhou Xing snorted coldly, "Actual combat? Just you? This is not just talk, I want to see actual action."

Ling Xue bit her lip and said, "Then please give me a chance, Dean, and let me take the mecha maintenance assessment. If I can pass, I hope you can approve me to participate in the border rescue mission."

Zhou Xing looked her up and down and said, "Okay, I'll give you this chance. However, if you can't pass the test, you have to go back and retake the basic courses."

Ling Xue's eyes flashed with determination, "It's a deal."

On the day of the assessment, Ling Xue arrived at the mecha maintenance area early. She looked at the pile of scattered parts, her eyes revealing confidence and concentration. She picked up the tools skillfully and began to assemble the parts quickly. Time passed by minute by minute, and in her hands, the parts seemed to come to life and gradually turned into a complete mecha.

However, when she finished the last process, she suddenly found a loophole in the energy core. Ling Xue's heart tightened, but she did not panic. She quickly thought of countermeasures and cleverly used the scrap parts for transformation. After some intense operations, she finally repaired the mecha at the critical moment.

Zhou Xing was watching secretly from the side, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect this girl to have such outstanding emergency creativity. But he didn't show it, and still said with a straight face: "It's barely passed, but don't think it's just luck."

Ling Xue wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Thank you, Dean. I know I still have shortcomings, but I will work hard to improve."

At this time, a distress signal came from the border, and a sudden Zerg attack broke the peace. Zhou Xing decided to lead an elite team to rescue, and Ling Xue was also in the team.

In the battle, Ling Xue drove her armor and rushed into the Zerg swarm like an angry beast. Her armor moved freely among the Zerg swarm, and each attack hit the target accurately. However, in a fierce battle, her armor ran out of energy and fell into a desperate situation.

Just when Ling Xue thought she was going to die in the Zerg's mouth, Zhou Xing arrived in time in his flagship. He used an electromagnetic cage to trap the Zerg, and Ling Xue took the opportunity to jump out of the armor and fight side by side with Zhou Xing. With the tacit cooperation of the two, the Zerg was completely repelled.

After the battle, Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, and for the first time, he showed approval in his eyes, "Well done."

After the rescue mission, Zhou Xing got into trouble. Someone in the academy reported that he allowed Ling Xue to participate in the war illegally, so Zhou Xing was investigated.

After Ling Xue heard the news, she felt very guilty. She found Zhou Xing and said sincerely: "Dean, I have implicated you, and I am willing to take responsibility."

Zhou Xing looked at her and said seriously, "What you need to do now is to focus on training and use your strength to shut up those doubters."

Since then, Ling Xue has trained even harder. Late at night, the training ground was empty except for Ling Xue and Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing personally taught Ling Xue how to operate the heavy mecha. He found that Ling Xue relied too much on instinctive fighting and lacked tactical thinking.

"Fighting doesn't just rely on brute force, it also requires strategy." Zhou Xing said as he patiently explained tactical knowledge to Ling Xue.

Ling Xue listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Under Zhou Xing's guidance, her tactical skills had improved significantly.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. Zhou Xing received an anonymous email accusing Ling Xue of being a descendant of the defected legion and providing the encryption chip left by her adoptive father as evidence.

Zhou Xing held the chip and fell into deep thought. He didn't know what kind of trouble this chip would bring to Ling Xue, nor did he know how to deal with this situation.

Zhou Xing brought Ling Xue to the confinement room. He looked at Ling Xue and said seriously, "Ling Xue, this is the encryption chip left by your adoptive father. There may be some secrets hidden in it."

Ling Xue looked at the chip, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes. She said slowly: "Yes, my father was a member of the defected legion. At that time, the legion was besieged, and my father entrusted me to an ordinary family to protect me. But those people still refused to let me go. They slaughtered my adoptive parents, and I had to forge my identity to enter the academy."

Zhou Xing listened to Ling Xue's story with mixed feelings. He began to investigate the truth of the year, but found that Ling Xue's army had been surrounded and suppressed for developing forbidden weapons, and the college's top leaders might have participated in the action.

Just when Zhou Xing was in trouble, Ling Xue made a surprising move. She hijacked a reconnaissance ship and prepared to go to the Zerg territory alone to investigate the truth. Zhou Xing was extremely anxious when he learned about it. He drove the flagship and intercepted Ling Xue at the jump point. "Do you think I'm a traitor?" Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with anger and grievance in her eyes.

Zhou Xing looked at her and said firmly: "I believe you, but we can't let you take risks alone. No matter what the truth is, we will face it together."

After some discussion, the two decided to sneak into the Zerg territory to find the biological weapons data developed by the defecting legion. However, when they entered the Zerg territory, they found that it was all a huge trap.

It turned out that the academy's top management had set up this trap in order to obtain forbidden weapons and was ready to silence them. At this moment, the Zerg Queen's gene chain controlling Ling Xue appeared. Ling Xue's body was instantly out of control and she struggled in pain.

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, anxious. He quickly activated the neural pulse device, trying to fight against the Zerg Queen's mental control. In the fierce confrontation, Zhou Xing gradually gained the upper hand, and the Zerg Queen was forced to retreat.

However, their crisis was not resolved. The academy fleet surrounded them. Zhou Xing looked at his former colleague and said bitterly, "For the sake of power, you even spared innocent people. Today, I will not let you succeed."

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with determination in her eyes. She uploaded the information about the biological weapons to the public channel, letting everyone in the galaxy know about the conspiracy of the academy's top leaders. Then, she activated the self-destruct program and fled the Zerg territory with Zhou Xing.

After returning to the academy, the two faced a military trial. But they were not afraid because they had evidence in their hands. Ling Xue made public the transaction records between the academy's top management and the rebel army, and public opinion was instantly in an uproar.

Due to Zhou Xing's reputation and the evidence provided by Ling Xue, the college leaders had to give them a lighter sentence. In the end, Zhou Xing resigned as the dean and Ling Xue gave up her position as the commander.

The two decided to work together to establish an interstellar defense corps that was independent of power and continue to work hard to protect interstellar peace.

On the wedding night, Zhou Xing walked to Ling Xue and gently fastened her fighter seat belt. He whispered, "Don't charge without permission this time."

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing with a happy smile on her face. She leaned on Zhou Xing's shoulder and said, "How dare I with you here?"

The two smiled at each other. At this moment, the Milky Way outside the window was like a long carpet covered with flower petals, bright and beautiful. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but as long as they were with each other, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

Zhou Xing held her hand tightly and said, "No, I won't leave you."

When the two sides were deadlocked, Zhou Xing's biological mother, Liu, heard the news and rushed over. Liu had always loved Zhou Xing, and seeing him so persistent, she felt sorry for him.

"Master, the Third Young Master has been weak since childhood, so it's rare for him to have such a heart. Although this gardener is a servant, if he can be trained well, he may become a good match for the Third Young Master." Liu advised.

Zhou Xing was escorting the spice fleet and encountered a terrible hurricane on the vast ocean. The wind was howling, and huge waves surged like hills, hitting the ships fiercely. The fleet was shaking violently on the sea, as if it would be swallowed up at any time. Zhou Xing calmly commanded the crew and tried his best to control the direction of the ship, but the power of the storm was too strong, and the fleet was still washed away from the original route and mistakenly entered the waters of Ling State.

After a life-and-death struggle, the storm finally subsided. Zhou Xing led his exhausted crew to an isolated island. The island was uninhabited and surrounded by dense jungle. Zhou Xing was walking on the beach when suddenly his eyes were attracted by something. In the corner of the beach, there lay an unconscious woman, wearing luxurious clothes that were covered with sand, yet still looked exquisite. Zhou Xing was startled and quickly walked over to her. He found that the woman was wearing a jade pendant with cloud patterns, which was exclusive to the royal family of Ling State.

At this time, a group of Ling soldiers surrounded them. Zhou Xing realized that he might have caused a big disaster, so he quickly explained in the common sea language that he was a merchant in distress. But the soldiers didn't listen at all, and the leading general gave an order to capture Zhou Xing and others.

Just when the two sides were deadlocked, the unconscious woman slowly woke up. She opened her eyes, revealing a hint of majesty. The woman called herself Ling Xue. After she looked at Zhou Xing, she actually helped him out. Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing and said coldly: "You should be punished for trespassing into the forbidden sea. But considering that you are victims and you have some courage, I will punish you to mediate in the palace within three days to help me facilitate the transaction with the horse dealers in the Western Regions. If you can do it, I will forgive you the crime of trespassing into the forbidden sea." Zhou Xing was secretly happy. He didn't expect the woman to be so straightforward. He quickly bowed and agreed.

Zhou Xing followed Ling Xue into the palace, but was accused of being a "foreign spy" by Ling Xue's rival, the Second Prince. In the court, the Second Prince pointed at Zhou Xing and loudly rebuked him, demanding that Ling Xue punish him severely. However, Ling Xue was not in a hurry. She tore up Zhou Xing's sea chart in public and said, "How can a person who can't even figure out the waters of Ling Kingdom be a spy?" Seeing this, the Second Prince didn't want to force him too much.

In order to prove his ability and complete Ling Xue's task, Zhou Xing drew a blueprint of an improved merchant ship overnight. He found Ling Xue and proposed to exchange "ship improvement technology" for ten Western Region horses. Ling Xue looked at the blueprint and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still sneered: "Imperial merchants also do business at a loss?" Zhou Xing smiled and said nothing.

Ling Xue took Zhou Xing to inspect the dock late at night. Under the dim light, Ling Xue pointed at the rusty anchor chain and said solemnly: "My father is seriously ill, and my second brother controls the sea transportation. If we lose the channel for war horses from the Western Regions again..." Zhou Xing listened and understood the dilemma Ling Xue was facing. He was silent for a moment and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best to make this happen."

Zhou Xing took Ling Xue aboard his merchant ship, the Cang Hai, and demonstrated how to predict a rainstorm using the wind-divination technique. Ling Xue watched quietly, and suddenly chuckled, "The Imperial Merchant knows more about astronomical phenomena than the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?" Zhou Xing scratched his head and said with a smile, "This is just the experience of making a living on the sea."

However, their journey was not so smooth. The second prince sent people to drill holes in the bottom of the boat, trying to cause an accident and trap them to death. In the heavy rain, the cabin began to leak, and the situation was very critical. Zhou Xing quickly calmed down. He taught Ling Xue to use clothes to plug the seams. The two of them were in waist-deep water, hugging each other and waiting for rescue. Cold and fear enveloped them. Ling Xue trembled and held Zhou Xing's hand, and suddenly asked: "If the ship sinks, will you save the blueprints first or me?" Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue and said firmly: "Of course, save Your Highness first."

Fortunately, the old helmsman arrived in time and saved their lives. After returning to land, Ling Xue gave Zhou Xing a ruby-embedded dagger with a dragon pattern engraved on the handle. She looked at Zhou Xing and said seriously: "The dragon pattern represents my promise - if you betray the country, I will kill all your clans." Zhou Xing knelt on the ground, solemnly took the dagger, and secretly swore in his heart that he must help Ling Xue overcome the difficulties.

In order to completely defeat Ling Xue, the second prince asked the emperor for permission to marry the eldest princess. The emperor was seriously ill and confused, but he actually agreed. When Ling Xue heard the news, she was extremely anxious. She found Zhou Xing and smashed the engagement jade bracelet, her eyes full of anger and helplessness: "Either watch me marry the enemy, or you elope with me!" Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue, and his heart ached. He knew that Ling Xue was in a difficult situation at the moment, but he also understood what elopement meant.

Not long after, the palace held a night banquet. Zhou Xing suggested at the banquet that he use gunpowder to create a "miracle" and lied that auspicious signs appeared in the East China Sea to persuade the emperor to cancel the engagement. Ling Xue cooperated in the one-man show on the high platform. She deliberately fell into Zhou Xing's arms and whispered sarcastically: "The imperial merchant dares to hug the monarch now?" Zhou Xing blushed, but still held her steadily.

An intense exercise is taking place in the simulated battlefield of the Interstellar Military Academy.
