Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 195: Chapter 194 [Two Men Check into a Room?]

Lin Duan’s appearance didn’t cause much of an emotional stir in Ye Tianchen. On the contrary, Ye Tianchen actually took a liking to this straightforward guy. At least Lin Duan was upfront and honorable, directly requesting a duel with Ye Tianchen in hopes of using the opportunity to bolster the reputation of his Tianlin Law Firm.

Since he was free anyway, and Ye Tianchen didn’t enjoy attending classes—which felt worse than imprisonment—he agreed to Lin Duan’s proposal. However, just as Ye Tianchen and Lin Duan were about to leave the large Archaeology classroom, Qin Yaoyue blocked their way.

”Where do you two think you’re going? Don’t you know it’s class time?” Qin Yaoyue asked seriously, as she looked at Ye Tianchen.

”I... we have something urgent to attend to and need to step out for a moment,” Lin Duan stammered.

Hearing Lin Duan’s words and sensing the tone of his voice, Ye Tianchen almost couldn’t help but laugh. On the surface, Lin Duan looked handsome and cool, but who would have thought that in front of a woman, especially a seductive and attractive one, he would blush before he’d hardly spoken a few words. Ye Tianchen had to wonder whether this guy was really fit to be the head of the Tianlin Law Firm, which was similar to a Mercenary Group that undertook murderous and bloody tasks. Could someone who blushed so easily at the sight of women really handle it?

Compared to that, Ye Tianchen was far more experienced. During the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had been surrounded by stunning women, and although he also liked women and was a relatively powerful figure already by the time of the apocalypse, he didn’t kill indiscriminately. However, if he encountered malicious, ruthless old hags, Ye Tianchen would show no mercy.

”Class starts in one minute. Whatever it is, it can wait until after class. Get back in there!” Qin Yaoyue said, her gaze fixed on Ye Tianchen throughout, as she was sensing if she could detect the aura of an apocalyptic powerhouse on him.

As for how Qin Yaoyue knew Ye Tianchen was a reincarnation of an apocalyptic strong protagonist, that was something very few people knew the reason behind. It remained something that Ye Tianchen would have to investigate and discover for himself.

”Beautiful, the matter we have to deal with is extremely urgent, critically urgent, supremely urgent, it’s so urgent that it cannot be delayed even for half a second...” Ye Tianchen said with a cheeky grin.

”Stop with the smooth talk and call me Instructor. Be serious. It’s time for class now, go back to class!” Qin Yaoyue said, waving her black teacher’s stick.

”It’s really not okay, we two are going to...” Ye Tianchen spoke, stepping closer to Qin Yaoyue. Qin Yaoyue retreated subconsciously, not because she feared Ye Tianchen would make any drastic move, but because she remembered Ye Tianchen had broken free from her Mind Control Skill, and his combat skills were unfathomable, warranting extra caution. Just as she retreated, Ye Tianchen’s lips got close to her ear and he continued, ”Get a room!”

”What? You two... you two men...”

Qin Yaoyue’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lin Duan and Ye Tianchen. Though in today’s society, being gay wasn’t a big deal and hardly surprising, when faced with it directly, many people were still shocked, as it could still be quite revolting to contemplate.

”Teacher, our love is true, please let us be...” Ye Tianchen feigned a sorrowful look as he spoke to Qin Yaoyue.

”Stay away from me, don’t come any closer...” Qin Yaoyue quickly stepped back two paces to avoid Ye Tianchen.

”Teacher, we are also human. Even though we are two men, we have our needs. We... we really can’t hold back any longer...” Ye Tianchen said with feigned excitement, grabbing Lin Duan’s hand and causing him to shudder in fear.

Collapsed, Qin Yaoyue nearly screamed out loud at the sight of Ye Tianchen holding Lin Duan’s hand. She could never have imagined Ye Tianchen being gay, let alone hooking up with a freshman upon his arrival at school and openly talking about getting a room. Dear God, even a woman like Qin Yaoyue found it too much to handle.

Despite the prevalence of the gay community urging for human rights and genuine love in society, very few couples were as blatant as Ye Tianchen and Lin Duan.

”Teacher, we need to... we have to...” Ye Tianchen deliberately spoke with a suggestively sleazy tone, raising goosebumps all over Lin Duan, while Qin Yaoyue turned pale, unable to stand Ye Tianchen’s disgusting voice.

”You two... just go, go...” Qin Yaoyue hurriedly said, waving her stick.

”Thank you, Instructor. Instructor, we love you. Only you can understand the pain and joy of our love. Thank you...” Ye Tianchen made a tearful face as he thanked Qin Yaoyue.

”Leave, just go...” Qin Yaoyue growled, clearly annoyed.

With a mischievous smile, Ye Tianchen took Lin Duan by the hand and they left together, leaving Qin Yaoyue utterly speechless. Ye Tianchen’s ability to play the rogue was undeniable; his acting skills nearly convinced Qin Yaoyue that he was indeed gay. What puzzled her was the thought of an apocalyptic era, a world possibly too horrific to imagine, and whether it could have a man like Ye Tianchen.

Lin Duan and Ye Tianchen walked out of the Archaeology Department’s teaching building. Naturally, they had already let go of each other’s hands a while ago; had they continued to hold hands while walking out, not only would Lin Duan be uncomfortable, but Ye Tianchen would probably feel his skin crawl too. His sexual orientation had always been straight. Only his mother and younger sister believed that he was distorted by the incident with Liu Rumei, which was why he remained without a girlfriend, not even showing interest in a perfect woman like Qi Ruxue. For a while, this made Ye Tianchen quite speechless.

”Who would have thought that Ye Tianchen, who resembles the Death God in his playfulness, could actually surprise people?” Lin Duan glanced at Ye Tianchen, with a trace of a smile on his lips.

”Really? Most people think I’m very serious and cold. In fact, I am quite kind and gentle, not cold at all. The most important thing in life is to be happy; sometimes relaxing can also bring more joy!” Ye Tianchen shrugged with a smile.

”The first time we met, you dared to accept my challenge without even doubting who I was. Now that all the major powers are watching you, and you’ve offended so many of them, aren’t you afraid that I have come to kill you?” Lin Duan suddenly brought this up.

”I’m not afraid because you can’t kill me!” Ye Tianchen became serious as he said this to Lin Duan.

Lin Duan paused, frowning slightly. Truth be told, he did not know the full extent of Ye Tianchen’s strength, only gathering bits from various rumors. He was uncertain whether he could defeat Ye Tianchen, yet he had no choice but to fight since victory would greatly increase the reputation of their Tianlin Law Firm. Furthermore, having Ye Tianchen’s support would be a considerable boon—it was definitely worth attempting.

”The same goes for you—if you lose, you don’t have to die, but you will join my Tianlin Law Firm and work for me!” Lin Duan suddenly said with a chill in his voice.

”Alright, my terms are the same too—if you lose, you’ll dissolve your Tianlin Law Firm and follow me!” Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

”Agreed!”

”Deal!”

Both were forthright men who didn’t need many words. A promise was akin to a weighty oath; just as a gentleman’s word was as fast as a whip, this was the mark of men with ironclad integrity. Once a word was spoken, it would be honored, even at the cost of one’s life. Such magnanimity was not common, even among some of the strongest masters.

What invigorated Ye Tianchen was the realization that Lin Duan, who appeared somewhat slender and seemingly incapable of lying, really was the head of Tianlin Law Firm. The firm, which had the nature of a Mercenary Group, required exceptional skills to operate. Lin Duan’s aura suddenly underwent a drastic change which surprised Ye Tianchen. Lin Duan, he realized, was undoubtedly strong, possibly possessing explosive combat power akin to the fury of a startled rabbit and the tranquility of a virgin.

They walked in silence with only the path ahead. Reaching an open field of grass behind Longteng University’s mountain, a place rarely visited by students, especially during class hours, they hardly saw anyone.

Walking along, Lin Duan moved ahead of Ye Tianchen, stopping in his tracks with fists tightly clenched. His seemingly frail body suddenly appeared tall and imposing. He turned to face Ye Tianchen with piercing eyes, his parted hair flowing with the breeze, invoking the air of a Grandmaster.

”I’m about to attack, and I won’t hold back. Be careful!” Lin Duan smiled as he spoke to Ye Tianchen.

”Bring it on!” Ye Tianchen beckoned Lin Duan with a wave of his hand.

Just as Lin Duan clenched his right fist, ready to throw a punch at Ye Tianchen, Ye Tianchen unexpectedly gestured for a pause, causing Lin Duan to stop in confusion and ask, ”What are you doing?”

”Wait for me. I need to smoke a cigarette or I won’t feel comfortable fighting!” Ye Tianchen said with a sly grin.

”You messing with me? Take this...”

Even the normally patient Lin Duan was infuriated by Ye Tianchen’s audacity to take time for a smoke while facing him in combat—it was downright insulting.

Swoosh!

As Lin Duan launched a sharp punch, Ye Tianchen’s eyes narrowed with the hint of a smile still on his lips. He took the advance seriously, swiftly dodging to the right and seizing Lin Duan’s right wrist with his left hand...(To be continued.
