The star beast naturally could not fall to the ground, but actually fell several hundred meters away, on the barrier that was originally used to imprison him.

It had already been torn apart by the attack, and it was smashed down like a pool of red paint. From a distance, Shi Xing could not tell the head from the tail.

"The beast core was shattered, and without the mental power to protect the body, the physical strength also decreased."

Chi Yao explained.

Shi Xing nodded.

He felt a little disgusted, and felt that the scene in front of him was weird. He wanted to take another look, but his sight was blocked by a hand.

"Well, why are you staring at it? Don't you mind having nightmares if you stare at it for too long?"

Shi Xing: "I won't..."

Just after saying these three words, Chi Yao asked jokingly with a smile, "Won't you?"

Shi Xing suddenly remembered his dreams that he couldn't explain clearly, and he became speechless.

His Highness must be deliberately not letting him see it.

Tan Baishan: "Don't get close, the barrier will be lowered as a whole, the upper layer will compress the space and land on the ground." Tan

Baishan: "Your Majesty, please come out with the officers as well."

In order to attack in place, everyone entered the active barrier to attack, including Shi Xing.

Fei Chu didn't dare to take him that deep, but his position was not protected by the barrier after all, and he was in the gap, so he could attack or defend. If something went wrong, Fei Chu had already thought about it, and he could throw Shi Xing behind the barrier, and he would be able to resist it.

Of course, this situation fortunately did not happen, and the final hunting process was relatively smooth.

After landing, Yun Wu looked up at the sky, which was cloudless, and murmured, "Will the North be sunny for many days?"

Her partner Tan Wen walked out of the battleship that landed behind her and also took a look, "Maybe."

This high-level star beast came too suddenly, and everyone involved in the siege was not prepared. The Seventh Army for reinforcement was also called in temporarily. Every order was issued in real time on the battlefield. It can be said that they were fighting head-on with the star beast in terms of mental power. The energy fluctuations that exploded have continued to this day...

Tan Wen stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful in the air. Wherever he touched, the sky and the earth were filled with overflowing mental power.

"Send a drone to check on the mutant star beast first, to confirm if it still has any signs of life." Tan Baishan ordered.

Countless drones entered the active barrier and buzzed towards the star beast.

The scan data came back, no heartbeat, body temperature dropped, suspected death.

Tan Chi: "Punch the heart and the broken beast core, and make sure it is completely dead."

One is the organ that supplies the star beast's body activities, and the other is the core of the star beast's power source. If the star beast stops moving after attacking these two places, it must be dead.

Otherwise, the drone will need to make a few more cuts.

[Heart puncture begins]

[Puncture ends]

[No vital signs during puncture]

[Beast core puncture begins]

[Beast core fragments have been found during the scan, please confirm whether further dissection is needed]

Chi Yao: "No, just make sure it's dead, we'll dissect the beast core later, maybe there are still some usable fragments."

Tan Baishan agreed.

After confirming that the star beast was completely dead, the barriers were gradually lifted, and the bloody star beast finally fell on the snow in the north. In a moment, the snow under it turned a light pink due to the infiltration of beast blood.

This time Chi Yao didn't cover Shi Xing's eyes, "Let's go and take a look." When he

got closer, he felt the huge size of the star beast.

Having been targeted several times and in danger, Shi Xing could only see the pair of bright yellow eyes that kept haunting him. After being safe, this was the first time he looked at the star beasts from a full body angle.

They were huge and ugly, with similar features to every star beast he killed.

Based on the knowledge of the Imperial professors, Shi Xing knew more of their habits.

They reproduced quickly.

They had a high fertility rate, and the growth period of their young was short.

They had strong physical fitness and were the only known large group of organisms that could travel between planets in a vacuum without the aid of any flying tools.

The battle between the binary system and the star beasts has lasted for several centuries since records began.

However, the star beasts in the past did not have the troubles we have now...

"Can you absorb the violent mental power in its body?" Chi Yao asked Shi Xing.

Shi Xing: "I'll try."

He stretched out his hand and felt the abundant mutant energy.

Shi Xing couldn't explain it. He felt a little strange and familiar.

But he didn't remember encountering a mutant star beast of this level before this one.

The violent mental power was completely absorbed by Shi Xing into the outer circle of the mental sea. The speed was faster than the first absorption. Later, Shi Xing felt that it was enough, but the mental sea did not stop. It just stopped absorbing all the energy recklessly. Instead, it began to pick and choose, swallowing up the high-level energy in small batches until it was exhausted.

The beast core shattered.

But because Shi Xing did not completely absorb the violent spiritual power of the star beast, the body of the star beast did not disintegrate like the last one, and finally it was Fei Chu who had to cut it out.

"There are still a few small pieces, all here."

Fei Chu used a knife to cut a big hole in the body of the star beast, making it easier for Shi Xing and the others to observe. After

he finished speaking, everyone looked and saw that, as expected, most of the beast cores had turned into powder and shattered. Once they were cut open, the spiritual power was directly injected into the air, making the energy density around them incredibly high.

There were a few small pieces left that still had physical bodies, but they were not big.

Everyone looked at Shi Xing again.

Shi Xing had not absorbed the beast core today. For the first star beast, he only absorbed the violent spiritual power.

"Can I take it with my hand?" Shi Xing asked.

Chi Yao: "You take it."

Shi Xing picked up a piece.

Before he could stand up straight, the animal core fragments were quickly absorbed in his palm and disintegrated.

Without waiting for Shi Xing to take the second piece, Chi Yao put another piece in his palm, and then piece by piece, Shi Xing absorbed them all.

"What do you feel?"

If it weren't for the fact that the energy of star beasts would be annihilated over time, Chi Yao would not want Shi Xing to absorb the spiritual power of two star beasts in one day. This seemed a bit too much to him.

Shi Xing: "I feel like it's a bit full."

Fei Chu: "Reach out your hand."

At some point, Fei Chu brought the beast core of the first star beast over, and before Shi Xing could react, his hands were filled with it.

This beast core in his hand...didn't change at all.

Chi Yao understood. He had seen this situation before. After Shi Xing's talent awakened for the second time, there was a period of time when he could hold the crystal stone without any change. It was because his spiritual sea could no longer absorb the excess energy.

Based on the principle of taking away what you can't eat, Chi Yao said, "Take it back and use it later."

Fei Chu took it from Shi Xing's hand and looked at the beast core, "The energy of this thing will dissipate, right?"

Yun Wu said, "The Seventh Army has an energy storage box that can slow down the dissipation of the high-level energy in it. I'll have someone send one to you when we get back."

Fei Chu said carelessly, "Thank you~"

Yun Wu: "You're polite, General Fei."

Seeing that the star beast was almost dealt with, Chi Yao glanced at the battlefield and decided, "Let's go back. Leave someone to clean up the battlefield. The energy residue in the air is too heavy. Shi Xing's mental power provoked the star beast, and today we used a special barrier. The residual energy in the air must be cleaned up."

Tan Baishan agreed.

Finally, Bai Shan and Tan Chi stayed behind to deal with the aftermath, while the rest of the group returned first.

After boarding the spaceship, Shi Xing took the hot towel handed over by the attendant and wiped off the blood stains of the star beast on his hands.

Fei Chu wiped his hands, still excited after just coming down from the battlefield, and kept asking Shi Xing questions.

"By the way, how did you build that barrier? Can you build it again in the future?"

"What happened in the end? Can your mental power be integrated into ours to attack the star beast? Then can we use our own method to retaliate and let the mutant star beast also taste the feeling of having its beast core injured?" "

Tsk tsk tsk tsk, don't mention it. I've dealt with mutant star beasts so many times, and my cousin has killed quite a few of them, but it's rare to feel so relieved as this time!" "

The star beast was beaten by us and it had to build a defense!"

"Who would believe this if I told others?!"

"No, I must make a good speech in the group when I go back today. Those losers from the Empire have never been seen before. If they don't come with us, humph, they will never see us again in the future!"

Shi Xing said a long string of words like a machine gun. He could really feel that Admiral Fei was very excited, but he...

"Okay." Chi Yao interrupted Fei Chu's beeping, "The people of Blue Star are different from the people of the Empire. Their physical fitness is not that good. They have run a lot of distance on the battlefield with you. Shi Xing must have been tired a long time ago, and his mental energy has been consumed a lot. Can you give others some time to rest and shut up!"

"Hold back your compliments, and say them when Shi Xing comes back."

If Chi Yao hadn't mentioned it, Fei Chu would not have thought so. As soon as he said it, Fei Chu observed Shi Xing and immediately became alert, "Don't say it, Xingxing, your face is a little pale, come on, sit down and take a rest."

He slapped Shi Xing's mouth, "Look at me, I won't talk anymore, let you be quiet, okay."

After saying this, he really kept his mouth shut for the second half, and personally went to pour a glass of water for Shi Xing.

Shi Xing gulped down half a glass, and his eyelids began to fight.

"Are you tired?" Chi Yao asked him in a very light voice.

Shi Xing nodded.

Tired. But the fatigue was not just because of the consumption of mental energy.

Being chased by the star beast on the battlefield, his nerves were always tense. When they were tense to a certain extent, they suddenly relaxed, and he only felt a thousand times more tired.

"Are you sleepy?"

Chi Yao was very sensitive and asked again.

Shi Xing nodded again and rubbed his eyes with his hand. When he spoke, his voice was also unclear, "Your Highness, I don't know, I just... I suddenly feel sleepy."

The spaceship they were riding was not designed for comfort. The spaceship was limited and was just a means of transportation. Everyone came with him today, and there was not enough space for Shi Xing to lie down and rest.

Chi Yao thought for a while and said, "It will take more than ten minutes to get there. How about you lean on me and take a nap?"

"Okay."

But after a few words, Shi Xing was already so sleepy that he couldn't speak clearly.

After answering, he leaned his head against Chi Yao, and after ten or more seconds, his breathing became regular. Xu

Jin looked at him and dared to whisper, "Are you too tired?"

Chi Yao touched Shi Xing's head, letting him lean back more comfortably, and lowered his voice, "Probably."

In the second half of the flight, the airship was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Fu Qing always followed the arrangements.

Fei Chu was really excited, and he squatted in the corner to send messages to the officers who were on good terms with the First Army.

[Emperor City Handsome Fei: Hey, I just fucked a star beast today. You can't believe that the star beast was beaten by us and couldn't fight back. It even opened its defense. Have you seen a mutant star beast that automatically opened a defense barrier? It's level 3s and has two talents?]

[Emperor City Handsome Fei: You haven't seen it, listen to me...]

The group was very respectful, and an officer responded, [You say, we listen to your bragging]

Fei Chu: [How can you call it bragging? Have I, Old Fei, ever boasted?]

Fei Chu: [Listen, I guarantee you will be shocked after listening to it...]

When they arrived at the place, Shi Xing was woken up and felt that something was wrong. He was confused and didn't know what was wrong.

After getting off the spaceship and about to enter the door, Shi Xing finally knew.

A hand grabbed Chi Yao's sleeve, muttering, "Your Highness, I... I seem to..."

Chi Yao turned around and saw Shi Xing falling forward, and quickly grabbed him.

Shi Xing grabbed Chi Yao's clothes, and he felt that he was holding on very hard, but in fact, in Chi Yao's eyes, he was limp all over, as if he couldn't use any strength at all. He

could still stand, all thanks to Chi Yao's hand on his waist.

"I feel so hot, it seems... my spiritual sea is growing again..."

After finishing this sentence with difficulty, he leaned his head against Chi Yao, not knowing whether he was dizzy or fell asleep.

There was a moment of chaos.

Later, the doctor confirmed that Shi Xing was indeed running a fever, but it was a low fever.

This was the third time this happened, and everyone was not too worried, knowing that Shi Xing's ability was growing rapidly.

But this time, Shi Xing slept for two whole days, and he couldn't be woken up.

He woke up on the third day, but the fever didn't go away.

After another two days, when he woke up from a nap on the fifth day, Shi Xing felt his whole body lighten.

Later, it was confirmed that Shi Xing's mental strength had officially grown to the SSS level.

He could easily sweep across Tan Wen's mental sea, and his mental power could also touch all areas outside Chi Yao's mental sea.

The inner layer of the spiritual sea expanded a little more. The outer layer had been active because it did not grow completely due to insufficient energy the first time. This time, it absorbed enough violent spiritual power and expanded to an outer diameter that even Shi Xing was surprised.

Shi Xing could also clearly feel the different energy flow in the void.

Chi Yao was concerned about Shi Xing's body, as long as he was healthy.

Fei Chu, however, was always worried about that special barrier and wanted to know if Shi Xing could still build it.

Shi Xing tried it for two days in the spiritual shielding room. On the second day, he finally mastered the correct method and opened the special barrier that only he could build again.

And he seemed to be able to do more.

In addition to the barrier that only blocked violent spiritual power, Shi Xing could also build another composite barrier.

This kind of barrier is supported by his mental power. It can block normal mental power, and at the same time capture and destroy violent mental power.

It is equivalent to superimposing the function of the special barrier on the normal barrier.

While making the barrier thicker, it will not be entangled by the violent mental power in the opposite direction and attack the spiritual sea.

Without waiting for Shixing to explore more changes in himself, he found that Xu Jin and Yan Changyue began to pack their luggage.

Oh, Tan Chi was cured, and the purchased red ore planet was also pushed into the orbit of the empire's main star and became an imperial satellite.

Accompanied by a formal diplomatic letter sent from the imperial capital, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Alliance will arrive in the imperial capital soon to conduct the five-year border negotiation meeting, and it was placed on Chi Yao's desk.

It's time for them to return to the imperial capital.
