The drowsiness he felt after waking up was instantly gone, and Chi Yao immediately called Erya and the doctor.

The thermometer was placed beside the bed, and he tapped Shi Xing's forehead. The number on it perfectly confirmed Chi Yao's feeling.

High fever.

"Your Highness..." Shi Xing found that his voice was completely hoarse as soon as he called out.

He touched his forehead. It was not the first time he encountered such a thing. This time, his body seemed to become particularly fragile during his maturity, and there were more conditions.

Shi Xing closed his eyes for a moment, and half-jokingly said, "I have to make everyone worry again."

"But it should be nothing. Isn't it always a fever? It should be the growth of the spiritual sea. It will be fine after this period of time."

The last few words were so forced that they were all hoarse.

Sensing the relief hidden in his words, and looking at Shi Xing like this, Chi Yao had a complicated expression: "If you don't want to talk, don't talk."

Without waiting for Shi Xing to reply, Chi Yao asked him, "Do you want to drink some water?"

Shi Xing felt it and really felt thirsty.

But since he was aware, Shi Xing asked with his image burden: "Can I wash before the doctor comes?"

"..."

When Er Ya and the doctors and everyone on the mother ship came, Chi Yao had already changed his clothes, and Shi Xing sat down and waited for the examination obediently.

I thought that Shi Xing's examination results would be the same as the countless times he had a fever before, but it was not.

"Your Highness, there's something wrong with the little prince's spiritual sea."

As soon as the doctor said this, everyone in the room looked at him. The doctor was terrified by all the gazes. He swallowed his saliva and heard Chi Yao's cold voice, "Why is it wrong?"

Perhaps it was because of the hidden uneasiness in his heart, or perhaps it was because the period Shi Xing was in was too dangerous. Chi Yao rarely lost his self-control after such a question and said one more sentence, "Is the spiritual sea too active?"

After asking, he immediately realized that he was inducing the doctor to answer .

He was... imagining a situation that he could accept...

In the time difference when no one reacted, Chi Yao closed his eyes and quickly corrected, "Don't pay attention to me, just tell me the situation."

Several questions were asked very quickly, and the doctor was also a little confused.

Erya was also anxious. Two sentences without any results, and she was impatient to waste time, so she took the report from the doctor.

Erya's voice and the doctor's voice sounded almost at the same time.

The doctor: "Your Highness's spiritual sea seems unstable."

Erya was more direct, "The energy is chaotic."

Erya raised her head and said decisively: "Make way, let me see Xingxing's spiritual sea."

After making room, Erya's spiritual power probed into Shixing's spiritual sea, once and twice, Erya's long eyebrows were raised, as if she was carefully distinguishing something.

"What's wrong?"

Fei Chu asked without holding back his temper.

The doctor replied angrily, "Hush! Don't talk."

Fei Chu had to shut up.

"What's the matter with you?" Erya was puzzled, "How do you feel?"

She was asking about Shixing.

Shi Xing: "I don't have much strength, I feel very tired."

"Let me ask you about your spiritual sea. If you don't check it specifically, do you feel anything special?"

Shi Xing felt it and shook his head hesitantly.

"You should come and have a look too." Erya said to Chi Yao.

Chi Yao stepped forward, and Erya said: "The spiritual sea is relatively active, but it has not exceeded the normal limit."

Chi Yao nodded, "Yes."

"Why do I feel that it's okay?"

Erya: "Then wait a little longer."

Sure enough, in a moment, Chi Yao also let out a surprised "Huh".

"There is a regularity. The subtle superposition process of the spiritual sea goes on twice, and this kind of fluctuation will appear once."

Not long after, Chi Yao confirmed, "Indeed."

Erya said in a deep voice: "And the intensity is different each time."

Chi Yao felt it again, took a long breath, and nodded again, "Yes."

"It is produced in the outer layer of his spiritual sea." Erya pinched her eyebrows, not understanding, "But the outer layer has always been inert, and there has never been any abnormality that affects the superposition frequency of the spiritual sea." Yes

, because of the change in the outer layer energy, the superposition frequency of Shi Xing's entire spiritual sea was affected, and this energy did not seem to have any regularity in taking shape, so...

thinking of something, Erya asked the doctor to come again with the instrument, and between the two energy fluctuations of the outer layer, the measured data was the same as before.

Looking at the data, Fei Chu: "So, is this layer outside alive?"

With this, Chi Yao and Er Ya couldn't help but look up at Fei Chu, who was puzzled. "What's wrong with you? If the description is wrong, I can change it?"

There was no need to look at him like this suddenly. It was scary to be stared at by two pairs of eyes.

Erya ignored Feichu and murmured, "Survived..."

Suddenly asked the doctor: "I remember that children's spiritual seas do not have a superposition frequency before the age of three, right?"

The doctor nodded, "Children of the Empire, the spiritual sea has not yet grown into shape at this time."

In other words...

Erya thought of something and counted to herself, "There were few contact with mutants before. The last time was two months ago, and recently, it was a rare D-level mutation..."

Feichu and Fu Qing looked at each other. Fu Qing: "Sister Erya, then what?"

Erya ignored them, but Chi Yao understood, and reached out to touch Shi Xing's forehead again. Shi Xing obediently lowered his head to facilitate his movements.

It was still hot.

"What she meant was that maybe this wasn't abnormal. After the Time Star Spiritual Sea grew out of the outer layer, it might need to go through the same process as the inner layer, first forming, and then showing its own superposition frequency."

That is what Fei Chu called "surviving."

Er Ya shook her head again: "But he is in pain, and the superposition frequency is not stable, so there must be something wrong."

Fei Chu: "Could it be because of the excessive maturity stage?"

Fei Chu remembered Erya said that Shi Xing would most likely cross two stages of maturity at once.

Erya: "Why not feel uncomfortable on the first day? He has had a low fever for several days, why today? He hasn't taken in any other energy recently."

Fei Chu had no answers to these.

Shi Xing was the only blue star person of such a high level in the Empire, and he also had two talents.

No one had an answer.

All we can do now is observe.

At some time in the afternoon, the temperature was still climbing, and the frequency law of the superposition of Shi Xing's spiritual sea not only did not stabilize, but became more chaotic.

Everyone's heart was lifted.

Shi Xing was still moving normally, but he could hardly do anything, and his brain was not working well. Subconsciously, he always wanted to stick to Chi Yao, and he became clingy for no reason.

Chi Yao did not go out to handle military affairs today. In the morning, he asked military officers to hold a meeting on the mother ship, and stayed with Shi Xing in the afternoon.

During the routine energy absorption in the afternoon, Erya watched Shi Xing holding the red ore in his hand.

At first, he did not notice it, but when he looked up from the communicator, Erya discovered something. He

walked closer and replaced the half of the red ore in Shi Xing's hand with a brand new one. After a

while, he repeated this two or three times, and Erya confirmed, "Xingxing, your speed of absorbing red ore has slowed down."

But it was very subtle, and almost no one could notice it except Erya, Chi Yao and Shi Xing.

After lunch break, the doctor came, and Shi Xing was leaning against Chi Yao to watch the Star Network for entertainment.

Strangely, this time the body temperature did not rise, but remained the same.

Erya felt that he had discovered some clues. He didn't think about where the secret was, but he always had a feeling that he was very close.

Lu Lu had been trying to get close to the royal mothership these two days, but... he had not succeeded.

Not only did his own time not allow it, but the defense around the mothership was also extremely strict.

Lu Lu always felt that the number of guards exceeded the normal range.

His feeling was right.

There were two reasons. One was that Shi Xing was not in good condition, and the other was Lu Li's reminder. Since Shi Xing's perception of mental power had been unusually sharp recently, Fei Chu and Fu Qing discussed and decided that it was strictly forbidden for beasts with beast cores to enter the vicinity of the mothership. The concrete measure was to increase the guards.

Lu Lu finally found an opportunity that day, and without telling anyone, he sneaked out of the training team.

When he approached the mother ship, Shi Xing suddenly opened his eyes under the unconsciousness of his mental power.

Without waiting for Shi Xing to say anything, Chi Yaoxian said, "Something has entered the surrounding area, Fu Qing, go and take a look."

Fu Qing agreed, and before he left, he received a communication from Lieutenant General Lu Li. Lu Li said that the surrounding trees moved strangely today, and the garrison found traces of animal activities. He informed them as soon as possible and hoped that the First Corps would take the initiative to strengthen the investigation to prevent local animals from entering the mother ship and causing damage to the hull.

After receiving this communication, Fu Qing had to thoroughly check the surrounding area no matter what.

So within ten minutes, Fu Qing and the sneaky Lu Lu bumped into each other.

Fu Qing thought the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Lu Lu's pupils were dilated.

Fu Qing didn't remember him, but he remembered the other person, the officer of the Royal Guard who taught him a lesson on behalf of Shi Xing in the Tree Nest.

Something was connected in his mind, Royal Guard, Major General, Shi Xing... Your Majesty...

Lu Lu was instantly overwhelmed with emotion and was about to ask where Shi Xing was.

But before he could open his mouth, Fu Qing's mental power fell faster, forcing him to kneel down.

It was the same battle plan as when he was in the Tree Nest.

Fu Qing frowned: "Which team are you from? Didn't anyone tell you that no one is allowed to enter the mother ship of the princes without permission?"

Fu Qing left, and Shi Xing took his temperature again. This time the increase was still small.

Er Ya took Shi Xing and absorbed half a piece of red ore. While thinking hard, she suddenly saw Shi Xing and Chi Yao holding hands. Something enlightened her, and the last piece of the puzzle in her mind was completed.

She released her mental power to sense it, and got confirmation, and Er Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

Erya said: "It's not a pervert, it's a serious problem, just one."

Chi Yao: "Speak."

Erya, "Neither of you has the habit of sleeping with sex, right? You both wear pajamas to sleep properly?"

Chi Yao: "..."

Shi Xing: "..."

Fei Chu couldn't help but say more: "Are you sure this is not a perverted problem?"

Erya glanced at Fei Chu unhappily.

Chi Yao still answered her, "Yes, we both wear pajamas, we don't have that habit."

Erya let out a long breath, pointed to the clasped hands of Chi Yao and Shi Xing, and put the red ore in Chi Yao's hand.

"Okay, the puzzle is solved."

"To cross the stage, Shi Xing needs high-level energy that is easily dissipated. The low-level ones should have been absorbed enough."

"Actually, he should have had a fever the next day on the battleship, but he waited for a few days because star beasts chased him that day. Xingxing absorbed the mental power of the living star beasts. Although their levels were not high, there were six of them, so it took a few days."

"The speed of absorbing red ore slowed down because he has absorbed enough similar energy and he needs other things."

"As for the slowdown in the temperature rise in the afternoon, well, his body surface is absorbing your mental power to relieve it."

Without waiting for everyone to digest it, Erya ordered, "Come on, try to absorb His Highness's mental power on your own."

Shi Xing tried it and the absorption speed was faster than usual. Once it entered his own spiritual sea, he disappeared without a trace.

Shi Xing looked at his hands for a while before he said, "It feels good."

Everyone looked at Er Ya again.

Chi Yao said cautiously, "But this is just a guess."

Er Ya clapped her hands, stood up, and felt relieved after figuring it out. "It's a guess, but it can be proven. Didn't we bring a star beast with us, an SS-level one?"

There was also an S-level one, but it was not as high-level as this one.

Chi Yao realized something and sat up straight, "What do you mean...?"

"If you want to prove it, let's go over and prove it now. Absorb its spiritual power and see how Shi Xing's condition changes."

Chi Yao agreed.

The relevant persons in charge of the First Legion moved quickly.

Shi Xing wanted to take it easy, but perhaps because he was in a cross-stage, his spiritual power was not so controlled.

After absorbing it from a distance, the star beast disintegrated into flesh and blood in a blink of an eye.

Shi Xing's physical condition was not good, and he was confused. After absorbing it, it took some time to feel the changes.

Everyone did not leave the battleship that imprisoned the star beast, and Fei Chu's spiritual power set up a barrier.

Fu Qing was not there, and Bi Zhou put on a second layer of barrier.

During this time, Fei Chu wondered, "Why hasn't Fu Qing come back yet? Did he really see the local beasts?"

In less than half an hour, the frequency of the overlapping of Shi Xing's spiritual sea has stabilized a lot in Erya and Chi Yao's perception.

It's a good thing, but it also gives Erya a headache.

If Shi Xing continues to be like this during the cross-stage, he will have a low fever when his body is normal and a high fever when there is a problem... Erya is afraid that the next time he reacts to Shi Xing's appearance, he will not be able to judge the cause in time...

But that's all for the future, and Shi Xing's needs must be solved now.

"How is it?" Everyone looked at Shi Xing.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Shi Xing still said truthfully, "Very good, and then..."

"Then?" Chi Yao raised his eyebrows.

Shi Xing: "Can you have a few more?"

The changes in the spiritual sea allowed Shi Xing to fully feel the fresh star beasts and the majestic spiritual power contained in the beast cores.

This kind of energy is not found in crystal mines.

It was fine when he didn't know, but now that he knew, Shi Xing always felt that his spiritual sea was ready to move, clamoring that it was not enough, urging him to absorb more.

Absorb, that kind of fresh energy supply.

Erya's guess was confirmed, and Chi Yao's hanging heart was finally put down.

It was not the first time he heard Shi Xing say this, and Chi Yao didn't feel surprised. Star beasts were not a problem.

"It's late today. Let's make arrangements tomorrow, and then let the Third Legion release some low-level ones first."

Without waiting for Shi Xing to reply, Fu Qing, who had disappeared for a long time, finally appeared.

Fei Chu was sharp-eyed. Seeing people entering the cabin, he immediately asked, "Why did you take so long? Is there really something around here?"

He was responsible for the defense of the mother ship, so he naturally had to ask clearly.

With such a shout, everyone's eyes turned to Fu Qing.

Fu Qing waved his hand, "Oh, there are no wild animals, we just caught a curious soldier."

Shi Xing knew who Fu Qing was talking about at once.

"I guess he has never seen the First Legion go out, so he wants to come over and take a look."

"This kind of thing happens a lot in the imperial capital. Our mother ship uses the latest technology. Which soldier doesn't want to get closer and take a look?"

Fei Chu nodded. This kind of thing is indeed a lot.

"How do you deal with it?" Fei Chu asked.

"It's the old way. We just sent someone back to the Third Army."

Shi Xing couldn't hold back and said something more, "The old way is... what?"

Fu Qing waved his hands carelessly, "You kid, give him a good beating and send him back."

Beat him up, beat him up...

Fu Qing thought of something and laughed, "I guess I just joined the army not long ago. I don't understand the rules, and I want to beg for mercy in the middle."

"But I'm too lazy to listen, and I want to solve it quickly."

"Don't tell me, his level is not low. I wanted to scare him, but he struggled too much and was beaten down."

Shi Xing hesitated to speak, but hesitated to speak.

Finally, under the cheers of Fei Chu, "You have to deal with the little brats in the army!", he shut up completely.
