With Chi Yao's decision, the matter was settled.

After returning home, Chi Yao also told Shi Xing about the hidden troubles at the banquet.

Shi Xing was stunned and asked hesitantly, "So, is it possible that the Tan family gave too much?"

Chi Yao laughed and said, "You are more worried."

It happened that when Shi Xing was treating Chi Yao, Chi Yao had no problem with multitasking, but Shi Xing... was a little reluctant.

Feeling the kid's efforts, Chi Yao stopped teasing him, "It's okay, you have to get used to it."

"Besides, you have paid a lot, and you have tried your best to treat Tan Chi. Since they want more, it is natural for them to pay."

After thinking for a while, Chi Yao concluded, "Shi Xing, don't underestimate your own efforts."

"Otherwise, people will see that you are soft-hearted, and this trait will be exploited in the future."

"You are indeed a good negotiator, but don't underestimate the danger of human hearts."

Shi Xing was stunned.

After not hearing the voice for a long time, Chi Yao raised his eyebrows, "Am I wrong?"

Shi Xing came back to his senses, followed the treatment, and shook his head.

"No, you are right."

He looked a little dazed and said with some regret, "I just think it would be great if someone could tell me this earlier."

This made Chi Yao feel strange.

Shi Xing, however, stopped talking, not wanting to talk about the losses he had suffered in this regard.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that even though he could distinguish now, he still had not handled it well. Facing people with malicious intentions, his reaction was always a little stressful, and he could not deal with it calmly.

Chi Yao was much more sensitive than Shi Xing imagined, "Is it related to your dream?"

After leaving the tree nest, Shi Xing did not dream often.

But Chi Yao could not forget the scene in the tree nest. Shi

Xing was stunned again by the question.

Chi Yao reminded: "The mental power for treatment has been interrupted again."

Shi Xing hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, "I'm not blaming you."

Chi Yao's voice was flat, "You don't want to mention it?" Shi

Xing held his breath for a moment when he heard this, and Chi Yao nodded when he saw this, "I know."

"Then let's not mention it."

Shi Xing felt that he should say something, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say...

After a long while, Shi Xing gave up and said according to his heart, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, I just don't know how to say it."

It was too unbelievable, whether it was the experience of coming back, or...

Shi Xing said in a soft voice with a little guilt, "I don't want to hide anything from you."

Chi Yao was calm, "Then I'll wait for the day you want to tell me."

There was not even any ups and downs in the tone of his words, but the strength and stability in Chi Yao's character calmed Shi Xing's panic.

Shi Xing slowly looked towards Chi Yao, which made Chi Yao smile. “Why do you look so aggrieved?”

Shi Xing felt a little aggrieved, but he still managed a smile. “I feel honored to follow you.”

Chi Yao stopped smiling when he heard that. There was something in his eyes that the Blue Star people couldn’t understand when he looked at Shi Xing. In the end, he just said, “I hope you can say that in the future.”

Not wanting to make Shi Xing feel uneasy for too long, he changed back to his original tone . The topic of this article is, "Smart negotiator, I have been prepared to stop your treatment for Tan Chi at any time during this period of time."

The purchase of the Red Mine Star had been negotiated a few days ago. Chi Yao was not sure how much Mrs. Campbell spent, but judging from the therapeutic effect of Shi Xing on Tan Chi, Chi Yao did not think that the negotiator had lost out. In fact, in detail, the treatment of Shi Xing's level was priceless, and he only charged a cost price.

"Even if it can't be cured right now, Tan Chi can wait until you reach maturity before seeking treatment. I won't refuse, and Tan Jia knows that in his heart."

"Since Tan Jia is afraid of the long night and is unwilling to wait, there will always be some price to pay."

The price is that the Seventh Army will take the initiative to hunt star-hunting beasts for Shi Xing to feed his ability growth.

Chi Yao: "Fortunately, I am also satisfied with this proposal, and it is considered a happy ending."

It is a matter of time before Shi Xing needs fresh beast cores.

If his talent had not awakened a while ago, in Chi Yao's earliest plan, he would have put hunting star beasts on the agenda when he returned to the imperial capital for a while. After the hunting team was trained, he would go to the border to catch the most basic non-mutated S-level star beasts, starting from the low-level to the high-level, and feed them to see what changes would occur in the star's ability.

Now, the Seventh Army wanted to take the initiative to help him do part of this work, and Chi Yao naturally would not refuse.

Moreover, the Seventh Army had provided for Yun Wu, who was one of the earlier batch of Blue Star people. Accordingly, the Tan family and the Seventh Army should be experienced in catching star beasts. The accompanying guards can also learn some experience in this hunting process, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and help the First Army to better catch star beasts in the future.

It is a win-win situation.

Chi Yao had said this, so Shi Xing naturally couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, he thought seriously. As the emperor of the empire, Chi Yao had seen all the good things. The Tan family might really not take this seriously. Among them, he seemed to be the one who had never seen the world the most... Thinking in this way, since he had chosen Chi Yao, he should indeed adjust his thinking and keep up with Chi Yao.

Shi Xing shut up completely.

The subsequent treatment was quiet. After the treatment, Shi Xing said happily, "In a few days, I should be able to solve all the problems in the outermost layer of your spiritual sea."

Chi Yao felt it and nodded.

Just now he said that the Tan family gave a lot, and when it came to Chi Yao's problem, Shi Xing couldn't control his divergent thinking, "If the fresh beast core is useful, do you think my spiritual power can go deeper into your spiritual sea?"

"Hey, the spiritual power still can't fully enter the outer layer now. Your level is so high, what should I do!"

When it comes to this, Shi Xing can't stop worrying.

Chi Yao laughed, "That's not what you said when we were matching."

Shi Xing got up and spread himself on the sofa. After being together for a long time, he has learned to talk back, "This is a different time."

Shi Xing covered his eyes with his arms and said tiredly, "At that time, I was only thinking about how to stay by your side..."

Chi Yao also stood up and poured a glass of water, took a sip, and asked casually, "What about now?"

Shi Xing was not on guard and said completely frankly, "Now of course I am thinking about how to completely cure you."

Chi Yao curled the corners of his lips. He

feels that he has been a lot more bored recently.

He knows some answers very well and can completely not ask, but when Shi Xing mentioned it, he always subconsciously guides him a sentence or two more, wanting the child to speak out his thoughts.

Inexplicably, it just feels good to listen.

There was a cool feeling on his face again, not for the first time. Shi Xing opened his eyes and took the cup handed by Chi Yao. He drank obediently, gulped down half a cup, and yawned.

Today's quota of mental energy has been used up, and he is sleepy.

Seeing Shi Xing rubbing his eyes, Chi Yao pointed at the door with his chin and said, "Go back to sleep." Shi

Xing walked to the door and felt that he had forgotten something, so he took two steps back. Chi Yao thought he had something to say, but he put down his hand, was stunned for two seconds, and uttered four words, "Your Highness, good night."

Chi Yao smiled and waved his hand, "Good night, go back to sleep."

"Yeah."

The voice was already unclear.

Since they had to catch the star beast, Shi Xing's training had to keep up. There could be emergencies on the battlefield at any time. Although Chi Yao was protecting him, Chi Yao and Tan Jia had the same idea. Shi Xing had to learn some necessary protection skills before he could go, just in case.

In addition, the treatment that had been delayed recently had reached a bottleneck due to the difference in mental strength. After discussion, the two decided to temporarily stop the treatment and let Shi Xing study with the Seventh Army and the officers accompanying Chi Yao.

But Shi Xing had actually... studied.

He had attended military school with Lu Lu in his previous life. Except for his physical condition, he remembered many of the movements and techniques, and made certain changes based on his own situation

. Moreover, he had actually been on the battlefield.

Therefore, in the eyes of the officers, Shi Xing seemed to learn very quickly.

The one-week course was originally only to teach self-defense skills. After four days, Fu Qing had unconsciously begun to teach Shi Xing some combat skills.

Tan Yan and Tan Mei are young, and their duties in the army are not important. They have been training Shi Xing with the officers this week.

Yun Wu, as a medical doctor, has been through the mature stage, so she will also provide Shi Xing with some experience and skills in evading combat from the perspective of the Blue Star people.

On the fifth day, the Seventh Army sent a message that the arrangement of attracting star beasts on the border line has been completed, and the hunting operation can be carried out at any time.

On that day, Shi Xing carefully proposed a hypothesis to which he knew the answer. "The core of the abilities of the Imperials and Blue Star people is the sea of ​​spirit, while the core of the abilities of the Star Beasts is the beast core. The sea of ​​spirit cannot be touched, but the beast core can. Once the beast core collapses, it is equivalent to the collapse of the sea of ​​spirit of the Star Beast. So...is there a possibility..."

Everyone was looking at him. Shi Xing closed his eyes. He knew how absurd his proposal sounded, but he continued, "I actually have the ability to kill low-level stars with the help of weapons. "

Fu Qing: "?" "Xiang

Fei: "?" "Qin Jue: "?

" "Tan

Yan & Tan Mei & Yun Wu: "? ?"

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Shi Xing knew it would be like this, and added, "I just... suddenly thought of it."

Shi Xing reiterated the facts, "Have you forgotten what my first talent is? I can see the spiritual sea and see concrete energy, which also means..."

After a pause, he considerately gave everyone a few seconds to accept it, and Shi Xing concluded:

"I can see where the beast core of the star beast is in the body."

The beast core collapsed, even if the star beast did not die, at least like the imperial people, it would lose its combat capability and be useless.

Even if it was not a fatal injury, it was undoubtedly extremely weak at the moment of injury.

Without the blessing of spiritual power, the star beast becomes ordinary, no different from poultry and livestock without energy fluctuations, making it easier to kill it later.

This operation sounds simple, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the position of the beast core of each star beast is different, and it is impossible to judge it based on experience, so it is difficult to use this method to kill the star beast in actual combat.

But Shi Xing's natural ability perfectly solved this difficulty.

After Shi Xing finished speaking, there was a long silence at the scene.

Fu Qing spoke first, "I think it's outrageous, but the theory... sounds fine."

Xiang Fei, "The theory is fine, outrageous +1."

Tan Yan was speechless, "Am I the only one who feels it's outrageous and can't think about the theoretical logic?"

Tan Mei praised her brother, "No, there's me too."

Yun Wu remained silent until everyone finished speaking, and the doctor suddenly said, "Star beasts are actually animals with psychic powers." "It is a general term, but because the monsters that invaded the Binary System are too powerful, this term has evolved into their exclusive name since the beginning of this planet."

Everyone looked at Yun Wu, Yun Wu: "It is not just the star beasts that have beast cores, there are many animals in the North that also have beast cores. You said you can see beast cores, let's get some harmless crystal frozen fish back first, and you can identify the location of the beast core."

Everyone thought this was a good suggestion.

From the Seventh Army, the Tan family, and the kitchen of Shi Xing's residence, a total of more than ten crystal frozen fish were found. Shi Xing took a knife and cut each fish one by one. Everyone looked at the wounds and found that they were indeed fatal injuries caused by the piercing of the beast core.

Shi Xing looked at the last four, "Do you need me to prove it again?"

Fu Qing asked, "Do you feel tired?"

Shi Xing shook his head and said sincerely, "I just think that if dinner tonight is all fish, the taste will be too monotonous. You can't finish it, and Your Highness won't like it."

Everyone: "..."

Makes sense!

In short, Shi Xing proved with his actions that he could see the beast core. Everyone had different opinions on whether he could kill the star beast, and because of the special nature of Shi Xing's maturity, they couldn't make up their minds. In the end, this proposal was brought to Chi Yao without any surprise. When

Chi Yao heard it for the first time, his reaction was the same as everyone else, "Killing star beast?"

Fu Qing didn't know whether Chi Yao felt weird or not, but the tone sounded weird anyway.

Shi Xing nodded, "Yes, by destroying the beast core."

Chi Yao put two fingers together to support his forehead. After a long silence, he said, "It's not impossible in theory, but what weapon should we use?"

Shi Xing: "A folding crossbow activated by mental power."

"You may need to customize one of the right size according to my hand, so that it can be used as a life-saving weapon at a critical moment."

"It uses mental power instead of crystal energy because my mental power can penetrate other people's mental power, and it can also penetrate the mental power barrier of star beasts, allowing the weapon to attack the beast core."

After thinking about it, he added, "At least it can be used against low-level star beasts."

This trick is useless against star beasts of too high a level. Hiding and running away are more appropriate.

Chi Yao frowned for a moment, and looked at Shi Xing with a slightly scrutinizing look, "Didn't you say that this idea suddenly came to you, and you have already thought of the weapon to use?"

Shi Xing choked and whispered, "I don't have enough strength."

Chi Yao asked again, "Will a gun not work?"

Shi Xing wanted to know, but when those smoky gray eyes looked at him, he didn't want to lie to the other party, so he said truthfully, "Yes, it's no problem to hit it, but it may not break the beast core."

The beast core, like the spiritual sea, has the ability to self-repair.

Even if the bullet penetrates the beast core, it is not as efficient as a special crossbow arrow that splits the beast core in half.

However, Shi Xing has already exposed a lot, and he knows the time and keeps silent about the modification of the weapon.

Chi Yao nodded and suddenly said, "You know a lot about the structure of the beast core."

Shi Xing's heart was lifted.

But Chi Yao just said it in passing, and did not delve into it. He tapped the table with his long fingers lightly and heavily, as if thinking about the feasibility of Shi Xing's method.

Theoretically, because of Shi Xing's special talent, it is indeed a very convenient method, but the actual operation is definitely not covered by theory, and Chi Yao couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Yun Wu suddenly said, "Why don't we find a snow bear in the ice and snow forest and try it?"

Snow bears are also a kind of star beasts, and they eat people. Once their activities are found outside the forest, the Seventh Army will drive them away.

For many years, the imperial people in the north have been active outside the ice and snow forest, and the snow bears have been stationed deep in the forest. People and animals live in harmony.

Compared to foreign monsters, this kind of star beast is a piece of cake for the Seventh Army, and even for everyone present. However, Shi Xing is a mature Blue Star person, and the snow bear is given to him for training. Although the size and lethality are not as good as those of low-level star beasts, they are quite close, and are very suitable for risk avoidance and training.

Chi Yao thought it was very good, "Then give it a try."

At Shi Xing's request, the Northern Frontier Arsenal provided him with an arm crossbow according to his request. Because it was just for experimental use, Shi Xing did not ask for too much, and was afraid that saying too much would be too weird, so he just said that he would make further adjustments according to the actual situation after using it.

Three days later, Chi Yao led a small team, with Xiang Fei as the commander, and led two snow bears into the hunting area deep in the ice and snow forest.

By the time the snow bears reached Shi Xing, they had been exhausted and no longer had any killing power.

Shi Xing fired two crossbow arrows.

Chi Yao frowned at Shi Xing's overly standard movements.

When the two snow bears fell, Chi Yao was the first to step forward, and everyone followed.

The wind mixed with mental power instantly cut open the snow bears' wounds. The first one, the beast core shattered, and the second one, the beast core shattered at the same time.

Chi Yao moved his fingers, and the wind completely cut out the beast cores. Both beast cores, the crossbow arrows were fatal, accurately inserted into the center of the beast core, and the improved mechanism expanded according to Shi Xing's instructions opened after the crossbow arrows were embedded in the beast core, and directly along the cracks caused by the crossbow arrows, the beast core was cracked.

Chi Yao looked at the two snow bears with an indistinguishable expression.

Fu Qing and the others were also shocked by the scene before them.

Chi Yao stood up and waved his hand, saying, "You guys stay here, I have something to say to Shi Xing."
