There was a moment of silence, with only the roar of wind and snow remaining between heaven and earth.
Chi Yao reached out and touched Shi Xing's head. Through the contact, he enhanced his mental perception and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Shi Xing's body, but...
"Where did the mental power go? Did your spiritual sea absorb it?"
Shi Xing shook his head and whispered, "The outer circle, to the void at the bottom of the beach."
"What do you feel?"
Shi Xing hesitated, "No feeling?"
Chi Yao raised his eyebrows.
Shi Xing explained: "When I absorb the mental power normally, my mental sea will feel full. As for the violent mental power, although I want to absorb it, the process of absorbing it and the process of absorbing normal energy seem to be the opposite?"
"For high-level energy, the mental sea can absorb a certain amount, and the speed will slow down later in the whole process."
"But I feel like I am absorbing the violent mental power faster and faster?"
Chi Yao thought for a while and affirmed, "It is getting faster and faster."
Especially after the flesh and blood of the star beast containing the violent mental power began to disintegrate, it can be clearly seen that the sturdy body almost collapsed in an instant.
Apart from what the naked eye sees, the flow rate of mental power in perception is also accelerated.
Then Fu Qing talked about Yan and Wen, and affirmed this statement based on what he perceived.
Shi Xing: "I don't know if it was absorbed. It's like a channel was opened. It was slow at first, but after the violent mental power converged into my spiritual sea along a specific route, the process became smoother and smoother, and then..." After a pause, Shi Xing said helplessly, "There is no then."
Chi Yao: "What's the state of the outer layer of your spiritual sea now?"
Shi Xing felt it, "Very... active? In fact, I feel a little empty."
No one understood what he meant by the last sentence.
Shi Xing shook his head embarrassedly and said in a very low voice, "I felt that I could absorb some more violent mental power, but suddenly it's gone, like something is empty."
Everyone: "..."
Chi Yao did not miss any details, "You just said to open a channel, what channel is it? Is there a specific path for absorption?"
"I feel there is, but it is not along a specific path. Yes, it will flow through different parts in sequence."
After Shi Xing tried hard to recall, he affirmed, "Yes, there is a specific order."
Chi Yao wanted to ask more, but he felt something, looked up at the sky, and said firmly, "The collision of mental power changed the wind direction, and now the airflow direction is wrong."
Chi Yao's talent allows him to manipulate the wind with his mental power. At the same time, his perception of changes in the wind is also transcendent.
Chi Yao's line of sight turned an arc, and he affirmed, "It's a sign of the coming snowstorm."
Chi Yao: "Collect the troops, the battleship will withdraw the troops on its own, and everyone will board the spaceship for the return journey."
The order was issued.
All the soldiers carried out the order in an orderly manner.
He led Shi Xing onto the spaceship, and the spaceship started. Shi Xing looked through the window at the remains of the star beast with only skeletons and fur left on the snow, and asked: "Aren't you going to clean it up?"
Fu Qing: "The environment in the north is different. The wind and snow will bury the breath, and the cold air convection is strong. The animals that died in the snow will sink and hit the ground and decompose quickly."
In other words, there is no need to bother to clean them up.
Shi Xing nodded.
Their spaceship leaders, Tan Baishan and Tan Wen Yunwu boarded the subsequent spaceship, and Tan Yan and other officers present boarded the battleship to return to the Seventh Army Base.
Not long after they left, the blizzard arrived as expected.
The sky and the earth were the same color, the vortex formed by the small snowflakes reached the sky, and the wind roared.
As time passed, due to the unique dimensional location of the North, the storm stirred up the thin atmosphere, and the air on the battlefield was floating and actually passed through the atmosphere and dissipated outward.
The mixed mental power was complex, but there was a special breath.
The huge beast wandering in the vacuum a few light years away seemed to have sensed something, and slowly, a pair of bright yellow vertical pupils opened.
Yawning, the star beast changed the direction of travel.
A seemingly inadvertent leap, and the lightning created by the powerful mental power, crackling and crackling followed closely.
"It's like this. It first enters my spiritual sea, then converges into the beach. After being filtered out once, it follows the logic from large to small, and will pass through the hollow pore structure between the void and the beach. Finally, it will be completely submerged in the void." After
returning to his residence, Shi Xing recounted the description he had been making up along the way.
Chi Yao: "After filtering, has the violent mental power changed?"
Shi Xing thought for a moment and said, "It feels more pure."
Yun Wu stared, "Pure?"
Shi Xing nodded, "The normal mental power and the abnormal part seem to be separated. The manic part is absorbed into the void, and the peeled-off part can be absorbed into the spiritual sea from below."
Chi Yao explained, "The manic mental power of the star beast is extremely destructive, but it is used to attack with a mixture of normal mental power. The completely violent mental power is not enough to destroy the star beast." , it can only be used by mutants above level 3s. The one we met today is of low level, so your feeling is correct. "
Yun Wu: "I can sense the pore structure you mentioned, but I don't know what you mean by void."
Chi Yao: "Maybe only he can sense it. Once our probing mental power touches it, it will be absorbed or extinguished."
According to this idea, it means that they will never feel the existence of the void, because when they touch it, the perceptual mental power will dissipate.
Yun Wu did not deny this possibility.
They discussed Shi Xing's situation for a while, and seeing that Shi Xing was indeed normal, everyone dispersed.
Everything was fine during the day, but in the middle of the night, Shi Xing still had a new situation.
He had a low fever.
I didn't feel anything. Chi Yao was awakened by the connection. He called Xu Jin to Shi Xing's room. The child was dazed and sweaty. His temperature had risen again.
He took a thermometer and found that his temperature was not high, but it was not within the normal range.
Shi Xing was limp and sat up with a pillow. When asked how he felt and whether he was uncomfortable, Shi Xing just shook his head and said he was sleepy and had no strength.
Several doctors were called over. Before they came, Chi Yao was thoughtful and asked Shi Xing about his spiritual sea.
This time, the problem was found. Shi Xing felt that his spiritual sea was slowly expanding, including the outer part.
The doctor looked at it and concluded the same as Chi Yao's thoughts, "It should be the first time that he came into contact with the rich energy in the beast core. While his spiritual sea quickly absorbed and digested this energy, it consumed a lot of his own physical strength. It should be very similar to people feeling sleepy after a meal."
The doctor was still a little surprised, "The Blue Star people I have seen before also had some symptoms after absorbing the beast core, but none of them reacted as strongly as the little prince."
Chi Yao touched Shi Xing's slightly hot forehead, his eyes gradually darkened.
"Then don't use medicine for now, just use a towel to cool down physically."
"I'll keep watch for a while."
Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Yan Changyue and I will take turns keeping watch at night."
The low fever didn't subside until noon the next day. Shi Xing was so sleepy that he just wanted to sleep.
Chi Yao was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't force a peek into his spiritual sea, but as long as it was touched, the connection would amplify the perception. Chi Yao could be sure that the self-overlapping frequency of Shi Xing's spiritual sea had reached a peak and was changing rapidly.
After dinner, Shi Xing said he would sit on the sofa for a while, and as soon as he sat down, he fell asleep.
This physical deficiency lasted until the third day, and Shi Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When it was completely normal, Shi Xing's spiritual sea expanded a part, and the outer circle outside the spiritual sea also expanded.
Shi Xing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After this growth in his spiritual sea, Shi Xing's spiritual power was able to enter three-quarters of the outer circle of Chi Yao's spiritual sea, and could barely reach the center of Tan Chi's spiritual sea.
The strength of his spiritual power increased, and he could use it more freely, but...
Shi Xing always felt that something was wrong, something was wrong.
But everything checked out well, and he was the only one who knew about his wrong feeling. All aspects of his body and everyone who sensed his spiritual sea and spiritual power said that there was no problem.
Chi Yao couldn't find the source of the problem either.
Fortunately, this wrongness only existed in the feeling, and as long as Shi Xing didn't think about it deliberately in life, he would be fine.
The treatment of Tan Chi was put on the agenda again, and Shi Xing and Yun Wu finally began to focus on treating the core part of his spiritual sea.
Because this part is the center of the entire spiritual sea, the amount of treatment required is no less than that of the outer circle.
To a certain extent, it is even larger than the outer circle.
Even if Yun Wu's healing spiritual power penetrates into this part of the spiritual sea, it will no longer be absorbed, and the treatment pressure is all transferred to Shi Xing.
Without a mature doctor, the treatment progress slowed down abruptly.
Shi Xing is fine. Anyway, he can take it slowly and get better. He has a stable mentality and is not in a hurry.
Everything seems to be as planned.
Until one day two weeks later, Shi Xing's spiritual power began to leak out without warning.
The first time he was alone, the leakage time was very short, and it ended as soon as it started.
Shi Xing told Chi Yao the truth, and this situation did not happen again in the next few days. Just when everyone let down their guard, Shi Xing's spiritual power leaked during the treatment.
Chi Yao was called from the next room. As soon as he stepped into the energy shielding room, he felt the extremely unstable spiritual power in the air that belonged to Shi Xing. Tan Chi
said, "It's like this
when I just started the treatment." Shi Xing was helpless, "I don't feel anything special, but I just can't control the leakage."
Yun Wu and Tan Yan, who were called, were also beside him. Tan Yan shook his head, "I don't feel that there is anything wrong with his spiritual sea, and the spiritual power of the Blue Star people is not offensive."
Generally, spiritual power leakage means that there is a certain problem with the spiritual sea.
But using this logic to apply to Shi Xing's situation does not seem to hold true.
Chi Yao felt something, and he stretched out his hand and brushed it in the air. After his fingertips passed through the dissipated mental power, he affirmed, "This is not your normal mental power, not the mental power with healing ability, nor is it your normal mental power."
Yun Wu was stunned for a moment, then felt it and affirmed, "Although it is not offensive, it does feel different."
"Feeling..."
Yun Wu felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't put it into words for a moment.
Chi Yao gave the answer, because he had felt this kind of mental power fluctuation, "Like, the fluctuation when absorbing my mental power."
Yun Wu suddenly realized, "Oh yes, when I was not mature, I accidentally absorbed Tan Wen's mental power, and this kind of energy surged in my body."
Tan Yan: "What do you mean, Shi Xing, you want to absorb mental power?" Shi
Xing reminded, "I come here every day after absorbing the crystal."
For a while, no one could figure out the crux of the problem.
The doctor was called, and the doctor still said the same theory, that there must be something wrong in the spiritual sea, which would cause the leakage of mental power, and it was rare for the Blue Star people to leak such a large amount of uncontrollable mental power.
But when asked about Shi Xing, Shi Xing said that everything felt good in his spiritual sea, and the doctor was silent again.
Afterwards, two more mental power leaks occurred, and the duration and intensity of the leaks increased.
Shi Xing was confused by everyone's concern.
And everyone looked at Shi Xing with a headache.
At this time, everyone had reached a consensus that something must be wrong, which caused the leak, but what was wrong... Everyone felt a headache when they thought about it.
In the end, it was Chi Yao who figured it out. When he used mental power to probe Shi Xing's spiritual sea, he suddenly realized something.
Chi Yao whispered, "Maybe our feelings are right."
"There is indeed a problem with your spiritual sea, but it is not a problem with the spiritual sea itself."
Shi Xing didn't understand.
Chi Yao did not explain too much and asked Fu Qing to contact the Sixth and Fifth Corps. Two days later, two officers with injured spiritual seas came. They were both injured not long ago, and the violent spiritual power of the star beasts was still remnant in their spiritual seas.
Chi Yao asked Shi Xing to clear the spiritual power that did not belong to them.
In the next week, Shi Xing's spiritual power did not leak.
Chi Yao confirmed it.
"It's indeed a problem with the spiritual sea, but not the usual part, it's the outer circle."
"This time when you grew, the spiritual sea expanded more than the outer circle."
"From what I sense, the size ratio of the two parts is different from before you grew."
Shi Xing was confused.
Chi Yao continued, "Normally you absorb crystal beast cores, which supply a lot of energy to the middle part of your spiritual sea."
Shi Xing: "So?"
Chi Yao: "So your feeling of being uneasy is right, it's real."
"There's indeed something wrong."
Chi Yao said bluntly, "You didn't absorb enough of the violent spiritual power of the star beast to supply your outer circle to expand."
"Even if the ratio of the outer and inner circles of your spiritual sea changes, it shouldn't be too much at one time, but your ratio changes are relatively large; and this time the inner circle has expanded to the point it should have reached because of the sufficient energy, but the outer circle..."
"I guess it should still be in a growth state now, but there is no energy to support its growth."
"Our spiritual powers are all supplied to your inner circle, so the spiritual power you leaked is indeed a manifestation of wanting to absorb energy, but none of us meet the conditions."
"The reason for your mental power leakage is probably that the inner circle needs it for growth, and also wants to absorb the violent mental power of the star beast."
That is, the imbalance in energy supply has caused a mismatch between the inner and outer mental sea.
The problem is not big, so Shi Xing feels okay, but there is a problem that needs to be solved after all, so the leakage is longer and longer.
Shi Xing thought about the feeling of absorbing violent mental power. If he didn't think about it specifically, he wouldn't feel it. After being pointed out by Chi Yao, he really felt that empty feeling again after surrounding the star beast.
Oh yes, his outer circle is still very active now.
Indeed, since the growth, the frequency of the inner circle's overlapping has returned to its original state from a peak, but the outer circle has been slow to return to normal.
When Shi Xing said all this, combined with Chi Yao's well-reasoned guess, everyone had no choice but to admit it.
Tan Yan was confused: "Then, what should we do?"
Only star beasts can produce and use violent mental power.
Chi Yao looked at Yun Wu and asked, "Is the other star beast still at the border?"
Yun Wu: "It is hunting in a rainforest barren planet outside the border."
Chi Yao nodded and gave the answer, "Then lure it over and kill another one to see."
What else can we do? Find the star beast!
