The moment the light was turned on, another wave of Shi Xing's mental power exploded.
From a close distance, it felt like there was no aggression, but rather very gentle. It was... the mental power normally released by the Blue Star people.
Suddenly reacting to something, Chi Yao ordered, "Fu Qing, build a barrier, don't let his mental power escape again!"
With this shout, the major general who was following him came back to his senses.
The isolation barrier was instantly generated, wrapping the entire main cabin.
Shi Xing's mental power hit Fu Qing's barrier wave after wave. Xu Jin asked, "What's the matter? Is it chaos? Or are there any other problems?"
Fu Qing told the truth, "Nothing."
Not only that, but it was very comfortable. The mental power hitting his barrier brought him a gentle and relaxing feeling.
Xu Jin was stunned. All his knowledge of the Blue Star people came from the Tree Nest, and a lot of it was supplemented in the Tree Nest because of the long time. Seeing Shi Xing like this, he was completely confused.
"What's wrong, Shi Xing, you..."
When he got close to Shi Xing, Chi Yao didn't know whether he should touch him for a moment.
"Where does it hurt?"
Thousands of words turned into these four deep words.
"It's so hot, I feel like I'm going to melt."
Shi Xing spoke with a strong nasal tone. Chi Yao was stunned and looked at his face. The beads of sweat on his head made him unable to tell whether it was sweat or tears.
Xu Jin called a doctor. Yan Changyue observed and went to get water and a towel to wipe Shi Xing's face.
Fu Qing contacted Tan Jue and told him about Shi Xing's mental power escaping, and asked everyone to line up outside the main ship to guard against the arrival of star beasts.
Logically, they should not encounter star beasts on the edge of the city.
But Shi Xing's mental power level is too high, and it is unknown how far it will dissipate before disappearing. To be on the safe side, it is better to prepare for the worst.
Yan Changyue brought water and a towel, twisted them and gave them to Chi Yao. Chi Yao: "Shi Xing, can you turn around? I'll wipe your face."
As soon as Shi Xing moved, his body lost balance and collapsed uncontrollably. Chi Yao grabbed the little blue star and lifted him onto his legs. Even through his pajamas, the temperature he touched also shocked him.
The man came over, and Shi Xing stretched out his hand to grab Chi Yao's clothes for leverage as if he had no bones. However, the satin fabric was too slippery. After trying several times, he failed to find a leverage point, and Chi Yao grabbed his unruly hand instead.
"Don't move, just lean on me, you'll be fine."
Chi Yao's voice rang out at the right time. Shi Xing reacted for a moment, and then realized that it was Chi Yao behind him, and leaned into the other's arms.
The light was so bright that Shi Xing closed his eyes slightly. Chi Yao saw it and ordered Yan Changyue, "Turn off the light here."
The light softened, and Chi Yao wiped the sweat off Shi Xing's face.
His movements were gentle and delicate. He hugged Shi Xing for a while, and Chi Yao felt as if there was fire where they were touching.
For a moment, Chi Yao wanted to check Shi Xing's spiritual sea, but when he saw the person in his arms in pain, he gave up the idea.
The doctor came quickly and took the temperature, which was already at a high value that a Blue Star person could bear. He drew a tube of blood and tested some simple tests, all of which were done in Chi Yao's arms, with Shi Xing guided by Chi Yao. More complex tests that required him to stand up and cooperate could not be tested for the time being.
Fu Qing discovered something and called out, "Your Highness."
"Shi Xing's spiritual power seems to be... increasing?"
He added, "It's very weak, I'm not sure."
The doctor and Chi Yao were both stunned. Chi Yao patted Shi Xing's face and asked him softly, "Is the spiritual sea still expanding?"
Shi Xing's face was pressed against Chi Yao's collarbone, and he was sweating. The sweat soaked into the collar of Chi Yao's pajamas, which was rubbed by Shi Xing's cheek and wrinkled. It looked messy. Chi Yao only glanced at it without stopping. After
asking again, Shi Xing finally responded.
The hot moisture from his mouth sprayed on Chi Yao's neck, and he felt like he was burned.
"I, I'm not sure if it's the spiritual sea."
"Not quite, not quite the same."
"Your Highness, it's the outer layer, it's expanded, but... I don't know."
"I'm sorry, I didn't..."
Not knowing how to describe it, Shi Xing spoke anxiously.
Chi Yao interrupted immediately: "Okay."
Patting Shi Xing's shoulders, he coaxed, "Okay, okay, it's okay."
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, no one is forcing you, don't worry."
Shi Xing nodded slowly, the movement was very small, if it wasn't for leaning on Chi Yao, it would be almost invisible. After
thinking for a while, Chi Yao said, "Let me do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Yao opened a small barrier again inside Fu Qing's barrier and held Shi Xing in.
Not long after, Chi Yao confirmed, "Yes, it's getting stronger."
The doctor was in trouble, he had never seen such a situation before.
Before everyone could come up with a countermeasure, Chi Yao's face suddenly changed, and Shi Xing's eyebrows were wrinkled in pain. He shrank his body, trying to reduce his presence, as if this would make him feel less uncomfortable.
Everyone felt a strange mental wave.
Chi Yao's hand holding Shi Xing hesitated slightly, but did not let go, and said, "He is absorbing my mental power."
And it was different from the usual feeling, absorbing very quickly. Shi Xing seemed to be attracted by his mental power, and kept rubbing his neck with his cheeks, trying to increase the contact area of the skin and absorb more.
Everyone looked frightened. Xu
Jin immediately said, "I'll go get the crystal beast core."
Chi Yao calmed down a lot, "Get the instrument and record his condition after absorbing the spiritual power."
The medical staff followed the instructions and produced data every five minutes. When it came to the sixth group, the doctor said, "It looks like there is no problem. At least absorbing the spiritual power did not worsen his condition."
The previous examinations also came out one after another, and there was no problem.
Chi Yao looked at the doctor.
The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his head, "First of all, we can rule out the failure of the spiritual sea of the blue star people."
The failure of the spiritual sea is the academic name for the disease that causes the death of the blue star people.
Chi Yao was silent for a moment.
All right, a blessing in disguise.
Chi Yao: "Bring the crystal over here."
Chi Yao held Shi Xing's hand to absorb the crystal. Almost as soon as it touched Shi Xing's hand, the crystal immediately shattered into powder.
Xu Jin stared and said immediately, "Your Highness, do you want to..."
If absorbing crystals is so powerful, then absorbing mental power is also...
Chi Yao waved his hand, "No need."
He took a few crystals and put them into Shi Xing's hand one by one, "I will put them down if I feel uncomfortable. This is it for now. Come on, continue to record the data."
One by one, the crystals decomposed and shattered. As the number increased, Chi Yao keenly discovered that Shi Xing's speed of absorbing crystals increased, as if some process had been started.
Shi Xing couldn't control the absorption of energy while seeming to be very uncomfortable.
Chi Yao didn't dare to give him the beast core, because the beast core has a lot of energy and it's hard to control the amount. On the contrary, each crystal has only so much energy, so one more or one less won't be a big problem.
After another six sets of data, the doctor said, "It doesn't look like there's a problem. His body seems to need this energy."
Chi Yao changed his tone and pointed out, "But his body temperature still hasn't dropped."
The nurse quickly took the thermometer gun, and the result was the same as when he first came.
The doctor didn't have any ideas, knowing that this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Chi Yao made a decision and said, "Leave Uncle Xu and Yan Changyue in the room, and the others go out and wait. I'll take Shi Xing to absorb the crystals and see what happens." In a
blink of an eye, the room was empty.
As soon as they left, as Chi Yao thought, Shi Xing was not so nervous anymore, and his posture was much more relaxed.
But it was still uncomfortable.
It could even be said that with the accumulation of crystals, Shi Xing felt even more uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, no more."
"I don't want it anymore."
Chi Yao was stunned, "Are you uncomfortable? Are there any side effects?"
Shi Xing's eyelashes were wet, and his face was buried in Chi Yao's shoulder. His voice came out muffled, "There are no side effects. It seems that the spiritual sea seems to like it very much, but it's so uncomfortable. I feel so uncomfortable."
Chi Yao was speechless for a moment, but still pulled up Shi Xing's hand and said without question, "Then let's absorb a little more..."
Since it's not the spiritual sea that is exhausted, then these energies must be useful.
Although it is unknown why Shi Xing is uncomfortable, his increasingly strong mental fluctuations also indicate that his physical condition is actually getting better.
Shi Xing buried his face in Chi Yao's shoulder again.
He was good for a while, and then started shaking his head again.
He said he felt uncomfortable.
Chi Yao had been sticking to Shi Xing, and his whole body was covered with sweat. He knew that Shi Xing was confused by the fever. He kept holding the crystal with one hand and patted Shi Xing's back with the other hand, coaxing him softly: "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me?"
"If you can't make it, there's nothing to do in the future."
"Do you still want it now?"
Shi Xing digested it and finally stopped struggling.
In a moment, Chi Yao felt moisture on his shoulders and neck. When he realized that Shi Xing was crying, Chi Yao wanted to open the child's face to see, but when he put his hand on the other's neck, he gave up and just patted the other's shoulders again, trying to make Shi Xing feel more comfortable.
Shi Xing spoke after a long time, and said in a crying voice, "I think so."
These three words made Chi Yao's movements stagnate, and he couldn't tell what he felt.
Relatively silent, he changed from patting to caressing, raising and lowering his palms, constantly soothing Shi Xing's emotions.
Shi Xing felt an extra circle of unknown area outside his spiritual world, tears fell incontinently, and at a certain moment in the almost dizzy pain, he finally remembered. He
remembered why he felt that this scene was familiar.
He... had experienced it.
At this moment of remembering, the demand for energy finally began to decrease, but Shi Xing's hand that touched the crystal began to tremble. The small amount of energy from the crystal made him almost unbearable, and he needed to continue to inject a small amount of energy. He
told Chi Yao the truth about his feelings.
The next moment, a hand was placed on Shi Xing's cheek and asked him: "Is it a lot?"
Chi Yao was controlling his mental power and releasing it to Shi Xing.
Shi Xing choked up and reminded him, "Your Highness, I'm not sure how much more I need."
Chi Yao didn't care. He didn't deny it, so Chi Yao held him and put his hands on his face. Shi Xing wanted to struggle, but Chi Yao said sternly, "Don't move." Shi Xing
froze.
Chi Yao slowed down his voice again, "Be good, it will be over in a while."
"Okay?"
Shi Xing nodded.
Hugging each other seemed peaceful and beautiful, but in fact every minute and every second was a torment for both of them. Chi Yao had been holding Shi Xing, and the accumulation of one night had already consumed his mental strength to a terrifying extent;
and Shi Xing had absorbed energy for so long that his endurance was almost at its limit. There were a few moments when he even felt that he was going to be crushed and destroyed by this huge amount of energy.
But in the end, he didn't.
As Chi Yao's face turned pale, the area of Shi Xing's clothes soaked with tears increased.
At a certain moment, a critical point was finally reached.
All the abnormal movements disappeared in an instant.
Shi Xing's skin no longer absorbed any mental power, and the dissipation of his mental power also stopped completely.
The pain disappeared, and Shi Xing's tense muscles and bones suddenly relaxed, and he fell completely on Chi Yao.
After Chi Yao confirmed it, Xu Jin immediately called a doctor, the mental barrier was removed, and the temperature gun was shot at Shi Xing. The nurse exclaimed, "It's dropped, the temperature has dropped."
The string in Chi Yao's mind that was stretched to the extreme finally loosened a little.
The doctor scanned Shi Xing with an instrument and said, "The mental fluctuations are also decreasing."
The doctor was surprised, "What happened?"
To everyone's surprise, Shi Xing buried his face in Chi Yao, with only a little strength left, and said in a breath, "I roughly know."
Chi Yao: "?"
He paused for each word, "Maybe, it's, the awakening of talent."
Not only Chi Yao, but everyone else was shocked.
Fu Qing was incredulous, "But you are not..."
Before he finished speaking, Chi Yao understood and said, "That's why he said it's possible."
There was a moment of silence in the room.
Chi Yao: "I remember that when the imperials are born with talents, they will release an energy band that can be captured."
The doctor immediately reported the scientific name of the band.
Fu Qing remembered, "We have a full-band energy detector in the training room."
The doctor, who wanted to figure it out, hurriedly followed Fu Qing to get the equipment from the training room.
After adjusting the parameters in the corridor, the instrument made a beeping sound as soon as he entered the room.
The doctor looked at the instrument in shock, "Detect, detected."
Xu Jin: "But, hasn't Shi Xing awakened his talent?"
This is also the most puzzling part for everyone.
Chi Yao pointed out the key point, "But there is no research or record showing that people can only be born with one talent."
Realizing what this meant, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin.
Looking at the person in his arms who was not sure whether he was awake or unconscious, Chi Yao said, "Shi Xing may have been born with a second talent."
