In the Binary Galaxy, the Empire's main planet is a huge planet located at the edge of the galaxy.
It is vast and sparsely populated.
There are mineral reserves between the main planet and the satellite, but it is far from being the richest in the entire galaxy, let alone comparable to high-quality resource planets like Campbell.
Precisely because it is located at the edge of the galaxy, the most likely planet for foreign invaders to encounter after passing through the meteorite belt of the Binary Galaxy is the Empire planet.
Since the day when the beast tide existed, as the outermost planet in the galaxy, the Empire has been the first to bear the brunt.
In this harsh environment where they have to charge and fight against the beast tide, the Imperials have undergone several generations of environmental selection, and their combat power has leapt to the top of the Binary Galaxy. The average level of mental power per capita of the Imperials is also the highest in the entire galaxy.
The Empire is a military power.
These are what Shi Xing learned in the Tree Nest textbook.
The place where he saw star beasts in his previous life was not in the Empire, but on a deserted planet on the border where the Third Army of the Kingdom of God is stationed all year round.
He and Lu Lu did not graduate from military school at that time. Lu Li took them in and gave them to Lu Lu's team, but Lu Li was present in all the planned and well-trained star beast hunting operations, with him and Wen Xi as the main command.
S-level star beasts, non-mutants, Shi Xing followed in a hunt once.
However, because of the leakage of the Blue Star man's mature mental power, he was guarded in the spaceship throughout the whole process, fearing that his mental power would cause the star beast to go crazy, making the entire hunt difficult.
At that time, he was in the spaceship and could not see the movements outside. He was only told "start" and "end" throughout the whole process, and then got off the spaceship to absorb the beast core.
Once the beast core leaves the body, the energy stored in it will begin to dissipate.
Therefore, after the hunt, the beast core absorbed by the Blue Star man will not be completely cut out. Shi Xing will reach out from the cut wound of the star beast, touch and absorb all the energy contained in the beast core.
He has forgotten what it feels like, but he only remembers that the soldiers participating in the hunt are not easy.
And today is the first time he has watched the hunt face to face.
There is curiosity, there is excitement, and the anticipation of how much his abilities can be improved after absorbing the beast core is even more intense.
The battleship launched the first round of siege, and beams of light flashed outside the cloud layer. It was the lightning effect caused by the continuous collision of mental power.
[At 100 kilometers, the traction is completed, and the star beast enters the atmosphere]
[At 100 kilometers, the mental barrier is established and completed]
[The star beast appears within a range of 90 kilometers, and the star beast appears within a range of 90 kilometers]
[At 90 kilometers, the battleship is ready to consume and tug]
The reports from commanders everywhere were directly collected into Chi Yao's communicator. He was also controlling the channel, but he did not make a sound, just watching.
Marshal Tan Baishan was the main commander of this operation.
After the instructions were issued one by one, the reports from commanders everywhere followed closely.
[90km blocking mental barrier established, completed]
[100km battleships requesting to withdraw]
[Star beast descends in altitude, entering 80km range]
...
[Star beast descends in altitude, entering 30km range]
[40km mental barrier established complete]
...
[Warning, warning, star beast descends in altitude, entering troposphere, about to enter 11km range, about to enter 11km range]
[11km battleships receive]
"Roar——"
the approaching beast roars approaching.
Tan Baishan, [ground mental barrier established]

In an instant, energy surged, and something spread out like petals with Shixing Chiyao as the center, and rushed into the distance as majestic as a tide.
It was the first time that Shi Xing watched the mental barriers of high-level mental soldiers fully open. When he felt it, his natural ability was almost activated in accordance with his heart. The scene on his retina made his pupils shrink.
He saw that mental power was like layers of transparent gauze. Countless mental powers, countless layers of different mental powers built a high-level barrier, with him and Chi Yao as the center, and they were laid out one after another like mountains. Each layer of mental power belonged to different people, so it showed different colors in Shi Xing's eyes.
When all these colors piled up in one place, plus a little transparency, Shi Xing... seemed to be in a fantasy.
It was like being wrapped in a bubble that refracted different lusters under the sunlight.
The difference is that he knows that these "bubbles" are actually unbreakable, and each layer has a strong protective ability. The same is probably the same brilliant color as the bubbles, like a dream.
The most saturated one is undoubtedly Chi Yao's mental barrier, which emits a slight fluorescent color. It is one of the characteristics of a high level of mental power under the natural ability.
The next moment, the clouds above the head surged violently, and a huge star beast followed closely after breaking through the clouds.
[Establish a barrier in the troposphere, don't let it run up]
[Received! 】
【The troposphere barrier is pressed down, Tan Yan, go and pull the star beast down】
【Received】
【Received】
Several spiritual powers intertwined in the sky with strong colors. The barrier was connected between the battleships with the help of energy diffusers, and all the soldiers' spiritual power barriers were pieced together to form a colorful and large barrier.
The star beast sensed something and wanted to turn back immediately.
There was a huge collision sound in the sky, and the star beast crashed into the joint barrier.
The most direct resistance between spiritual power and spiritual power, the storm brought by energy even brushed the ground, and the wind and snow in the sky were mixed and scattered, and they danced in the air one by one without following the rules.
"The battleships are setting up barriers above again. The star beasts are about to launch a second round of attacks. Everyone hold on until the high-dimensional barrier is completed."
Tan Yan commanded while taking a weapon from a battleship, stepped onto the mental barrier, and stood alone in the sky.
Shi Xing's naked eyes could no longer distinguish the details of his face, but the imperials could. Chi Yao explained to him on the side.
"Tan Yan's usual weapon is the mental knife, and it is estimated that it is already accumulating energy."
However, Shi Xing's natural ability can see Tan Yan's spiritual power very clearly.
Your Highness is right. Major General Tan's spiritual power has begun to brighten. The sensor in his hand has already made the outline of the spiritual power knife appear.
Bang -
the star beast collided, and the spiritual power collided again, bursting with a louder sound. After the collision, the entire spiritual power barrier dimmed a lot, which shows that the consumption of forcibly blocking the star beast is not low.
"The upper layer of the barrier has taken shape." Shi Xing said.
The next moment, the communicator sent a report on the establishment of the barrier.
Tan Yan took a deep breath, raised his hand and swung his arm, and the more than ten-meter-long sword shaped by the spiritual power took shape.
Tan Yan stood on the barrier and squatted, "I will count down three times, and after three times, this barrier will be removed."
[The bottom small barrier is established]
[Received]
"Three, two, one, open-" "
Hah-"
As the star beast charged again, this time it was greeted by Tan Yan's long sword, which chopped down like a mountain collapse and split the sea, instantly penetrating the star beast's left front paw. The long sword sank into the star beast's body and came out from the other side of the star beast's body. Tan Yan used the gravity impact to hold the hilt steadily, and stepped heavily on the star beast with both feet.
The impact of mental power erupted again, and the non-mutated star beast of the same level was suppressed by Tan Yan's mental power.
Tan Yan kept his posture and stepped on the star beast, falling from the sky like a meteor.
Bang—
the star beast's body hit the small barrier a few hundred meters away, and the barrier shattered. The man and the star beast got a certain buffer, paused in the air for a fraction of a second, and fell again...
Shi Xing just watched Tan Yan press the star beast with his long sword, stepped on the star beast with both feet, and took advantage of the momentum of falling from the sky to break through layer after layer of deceleration barriers that had been prepared for him. He used the star beast's body as a buffer, and the continuous burst of mental power also blew up the star beast's skin, making the collision bloody.
Halfway down, Tan Yan called for barrier reinforcement.
The next time it hit hard, the barrier was supported firmly in the air and did not break. Tan Yan dispersed his mental power, and the long sword dissipated. He waved his hand and condensed his mental power on the barrier again. The star beast had already lost most of its physical strength due to the impact. Tan Yan's mental power firmly suppressed the monster. With the last blow, he stabbed at the neck and put away the sword.
Tan Yan: "Send a warship to pick me up."
"I'm done."
It didn't even hit the ground. The snow-white open battlefield was only the blood of the star beast dripping from the sky.
Shi Xing was hesitant: "Is the star beast so easy to consume?"
He had the impression that this thing had amazing mental endurance in a protracted battle.
Chi Yao: "No, they started to lure it from the border, and it was probably consumed all the way to the outside of the Empire's main star."
"When Tan Yan attacked, the star beast should have only half of its combat power left. Close combat is mainly to make it lose its mobility."
The battleship in the air maintained a mental barrier and slowly landed with the bloody star beast.
Tan Yan's face was stained with blood, and he looked wild and murderous.
Chi Yao came in person. All the senior leaders of the Seventh Army participated in the siege. Tan Wen walked up from the back and used mental force to suppress the star beast on one side. Another officer of the Seventh Army stood on the opposite side and applied a second level of suppression.
Tan Baishan confirmed that the star beast was half dead and came to invite Chi Yao.
Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing and asked him, "Are you scared?"
Shi Xing shook his head.
This was not the first time he absorbed a beast core.
Chi Yao: "Then let's go, let's try the fresh beast core."
When the two of them walked in front of the star beast, the ugly star beast was so distorted by the collision that Shi Xing couldn't even recognize his appearance. He could only vaguely feel where the eyes and nose were.
Sometimes Shi Xing's presence was still an advantage. He pointed accurately to the side of the body that Tan Yan didn't stab for fear of damaging the beast core, and said, "The beast core is here, about a meter down."
"Okay~"
Tan Yan carried the knife and skillfully helped Shi Xing cut open the beast core as if he was killing a fish.
The star beast let out a long mournful cry, and its mental power was boiling wildly.
However, before he could make any move, Tan Wenhe, the military officer, exerted his mental power again, and the star beast was pinned to the ground.
This star beast was not small, it was three time stars long, but Shi Xing felt the energy surge of the beast core in the air, and his first reaction was excitement.
Shi Xing wanted to get closer to the star beast, and glanced at Chi Yao. Chi Yao understood and let go, "Go."
Shi Xing nodded. Every time he got closer to the star beast, the star beast twitched violently under the suppression, showing that it wanted to struggle, but there was no space to struggle, it was firmly suppressed.
Shi Xing reached into the flesh of the star beast, and when he touched the beast core, the star beast seemed to feel something and made another mournful cry.
Shi Xing felt something rapidly flowing into his body through the beast core, filling up his spiritual sea.
Yun Wu was right. He felt the rich energy changes. Those energies that were easy to dissipate and those high-level energies that were difficult to capture were now in his palms, flowing into his spiritual sea continuously.
These energies were fresh and very active.
His spiritual sea also welcomed their arrival.
Crack, crack.
The beast core cracked in front of everyone.
Yun Wu, who was watching, changed her expression slightly. She knew that Shi Xing could absorb the crystal stone, but the beast core...
Just as she was in doubt, the beast core under Shi Xing's hand collapsed and turned into ashes.
Because all the energies were appropriate, Shi Xing absorbed them quickly, so not a single beast core was left with even a residue. It exploded with a bang, turned into powder and dissipated in the wind.
Shi Xing took a deep breath.
His whole body felt warm and comfortable.
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
A continuous violent mental force attacked Shi Xing, and everyone's faces frightened. It was the last attack that the star beast had accumulated for who knows when. Shi Xing...
In a blink of an eye, the mental force was scattered on Chi Yao's barrier, and it didn't even touch Shi Xing's edge.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Yao retracted the barrier and asked Shi Xing, "Are you okay?"
Shi Xing shook his head. He didn't react, but...
Shi Xing stretched out his hand, feeling the remaining violent mental power in the air, something in his spiritual sea was stirring.
He turned his head to look at the star beast, which was filled with violent mental power that should be useless to the blue star people.
"What's wrong?" Chi Yao asked Shi Xing sensitively.
Shi Xing hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "Can I... try to absorb the mental power from it?"
Chi Yao was stunned.
Fu Qing/Xu Jin/Yan Changyue: "?"
Tan Chi/Tan Wen/Tan Yan/Tan Mei/Yun Wu/Tan Baishan: "???"
Xiang Fei and Tan Jue in the back: "???"
"What did you say?" Chi Yao asked again.
Shi Xing repeated it, with a gleam in his eyes, "I feel like I can absorb it, I, want to absorb it?"
Everyone: "..."
Chi Yao was the first to come back to his senses, and said, "You try it, try it first."
Shi Xing nodded and put his hand on the star beast. When he began to absorb the spiritual power around the star beast, the star beast roared angrily.
This spiritual power also gathered in his spiritual sea, but did not enter the spiritual sea, and fell on the outer beach.
It seeped into the bottom of the beach, passed through the pores, and sank into the void.
He felt very comfortable. He
told Chi Yao the truth. Chi Yao sensed Shi Xing's spiritual sea, confirmed that there was no problem, and let go, "Then try to absorb how much you can, and to what extent." Shi Xing
nodded, looking at the star beast with shining eyes.
The bloody star beast trembled!
The key is that this time there is more than one scary hand. Shi Xing stretched out two hands and put them on it.
"Ah-ah-ah--"
Later, according to the people of the Tan family, they had never heard the star beast's cry so mournful.
As soon as Shi Xing's hand was placed, the violent mental power was like a drop in the ocean, accumulating into the outermost layer of his spiritual sea and sinking into the void, faster and faster.
When Shi Xing felt that there was no more mental power to absorb, and opened his eyes before he was finished, everyone was staring at him in a daze.
Shi Xing was puzzled.
Chi Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at his men.
Shi Xing lowered his head.
The scene in front of him made him widen his eyes.
Where the star beast was originally lying, there was only a skeleton, a pool of meat mud on the snow, and a beast skin.
At some point, the star beast whose violent spiritual power he absorbed, like a beast core -
its flesh and blood disintegrated? !
Chi Yao: "How do you feel?"
Shi Xing was a little embarrassed, "Can I have some more?"
