High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Meanwhile, in the East China Sea...

Twelve hundred Great Xia ships lined up in a neat formation and anchored thirty kilometers outside the designated sea area.

They were summoned by Song Chen. After the slaughter, they would leave behind a large number of alien beast life crystal cores and various materials, so there was no need to waste them.

On the deck of the flagship "Zhenhai", a naval admiral was looking through binoculars at the distant sea covered by lightning. His hands were trembling; the power was terrifying.

The adjutant's voice trembled: "General...General, was that Councilor Song alone?"

The general did not answer. He put down the binoculars, picked them up again, and put them down again.

He thought there might be something wrong with his eyes. The scene he witnessed—nine purple-gold dragons frantically slaughtering the horde of strange beasts, lightning covering the entire sea, and the corpses of the beasts raising the sea level by half a meter—was something no human could do.

"Pass down the order. All ships will maintain their current formation and wait for Councilor Song to finish clearing out the enemy before entering the operational area."

"During this period, everyone will observe and learn."

The adjutant opened his mouth, as if to say, "Learn what?"

How can one person kill hundreds of millions of alien beasts?

But he swallowed his words in the end, stood at attention, and saluted: "Yes, sir."

On 1,200 ships, hundreds of thousands of people stood in neat rows on the deck, watching the figure enveloped in lightning in the distance.

The roar of engines, the crashing of waves, the cries of seabirds—all these sounds vanished, leaving only the persistent, low hum of the distant lightning field.

They witnessed what a seventh-tier Star Core Realm life form looked like when it went all out.

The killings lasted for an entire day.

They fought from the first day to the second day without stopping.

In the intense battle, Song Chen maintained an almost cold-blooded efficiency. Every strike was purposeful, and the attack path of every thunder dragon was predicted and calculated by the Eye of Truth.

He was like a farmer harvesting wheat in autumn, cutting down a row with one stroke, then turning back to cut down another patch.

When the sun sank below the horizon again, Song Chen finally stopped.

There were no more living monsters on the sea beneath their feet. All 155 million of them floated on the surface with their white bellies up, forming a huge carpet of corpses covering hundreds of kilometers.

Blood seeped into the sea, turning the entire area a deep red, a color that looked particularly shocking under the setting sun.

The corpses of the strange beasts were piled up in layers, and in some places the piles were so thick that the corpses at the bottom had been crushed into a pulp, mixed with the bits of flesh floating on the sea, making it impossible to distinguish one from another.

Song Chen stood at the very top of the mountain of corpses and glanced down at the system panel.

Kill Value: 5512482505

Five and a half billion kill points are enough for now.

Song Chen first looked at the group of ships and sent a message using his mental power: "Clean up the battlefield."

……

Song Chen opened the system store, quickly swiping his finger across the screen, and found the sword technique he had previously set his sights on.

Star-Splitting Slash, Star Core-level sword technique: 1.2 million kill points, can be purchased directly.

[I have purchased Star Slash, which has consumed 1.2 million kill points.]

A massive flow of information suddenly surged into his consciousness.

The core of "Star Slash" is not the moves themselves, but a way of generating power.

The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the star core is directed into the blade, forming a high-frequency vibrating psionic blade membrane on the edge. A single cut creates a "crack," cracking the structure of the matter itself.

The first layer is a single slash, capable of splitting a mountain in one strike. The second layer is a triple slash, where three slashes are superimposed in the same position, capable of splitting a small celestial body.

He directly purchased the second level of the Star-Splitting Slash again, spending 300 million.

Song Chen closed his eyes and processed the information for three seconds before continuing.

Star Core Thunder Prison - Second Layer: 3 million kill points, purchase.

An even more violent surge of lightning power exploded within his meridians, widening each of the spiritual energy channels once again.

The miniature star inside his body suddenly brightened by one degree, and more lightning patterns appeared around it, as if the star core was wrapped in an electric grid.

Next is the second level of Eternal Body, 3 million kill points, purchase.

The next moment, he felt his bones cracking, the density of each bone soaring, and a pale golden liquid gushing from his bone marrow. It was the newly formed bone marrow after being partially energized, and its hematopoietic efficiency was ten times that of before.

In the blood vessels beneath the skin, the color of the blood changed from deep red to dark gold, and each drop of blood became a small energy storage unit.

Void Shuttle, second level, purchase.

His spatial perception expanded dramatically, and he could sense the "texture" of the surrounding space, those invisible spatial folds and nodes.

It turns out that the first level of void travel involves jumping on the surface of space, while the second level involves directly drilling into the folds of space to travel.

Upgrading all four combat skills to the second level cost 1.2 billion.

After adding the first and second layers of Star Slash, there are less than four billion left on the panel.

Song Chen had already made a decision in response, converting all 3.8 billion into attribute points.

Qi and blood began to rise rapidly, breaking through the 1.45 million mark, and then continued to surge upwards, stopping at 1.5 million.

His mental strength jumped from 820,000 to 1,100,000, directly breaking through the basic threshold of seventh-level mental strength.

The range of his Eye of Truth suddenly increased by more than half. He could even sense how many people were in each building in Tianhai City and what the attribute of the spiritual energy fluctuations within each person was.

There was so much information that it took him several seconds to process it.

This expense sounds quick, but it actually took more than three days.

Song Chen clenched his fist and felt the power within his body.

One and a half million units of Qi and blood flowed through his meridians, and one and a half million units of spiritual power surged in his sea of ​​consciousness. All four Star Core-level combat skills were upgraded to the second level, and he also gained a new skill, "Star-Splitting Slash".

He brought up the system panel and checked it; he still had over ten million kill points left, which he kept for emergencies.

Then he noticed the price of the third-tier combat skill in the system shop.

Star Core Thunder Prison - Third Layer: 50 billion kill points

Eternal Body, Third Layer: 50 billion kill points

Void Travel - Level 3: 5 billion kill points

Star-Splitting Slash - Level 3: 5 billion kill points

They all start at 5 billion.

Song Chen silently turned off the panel. He decided to give up on the third floor for now; he didn't even have enough money for one level.

His current setup is enough for him to handle most situations on Flowing Star, at least that's what he tells himself.

Just then, the phone rang. It was Zhou Wangyue: "Song Chen, what's going on your end? Three instruments at Tianhai's psionic monitoring station have been destroyed. Li Qingcang asked me to ask you when we're setting off."

Song Chen glanced at the rising sun on the horizon. He didn't want to explain the system to Zhou Wangyue, nor did he want to explain what he had done in the past three days.

"I've gained some insights here, and now that I've finished, I'm heading back immediately. You and the Speaker wait for me in Tianhai."

Zhou Wangyue was a smart man and could sense that Song Chen possessed a secret beyond what the Source Spirit Crystal could explain, but he chose not to pursue the matter.

"Okay." Zhou Wangyue said only one word and then hung up.

Song Chen put away his phone, then vanished into the sky above the sea using a teleportation technique. He returned to the outskirts of Tianhai City in just a few teleportations.

He paused in the clouds for a moment and saw the direction of Tianhai University.

On the distant dock, various exotic beast materials transported from the sea were piled up into more than a dozen small mountains. The city is now expanding and developing at a visible speed.

He landed in the president's office at Tianhai University, where Zhou Wangyue was already waiting.

"You're a completely different person in just three days." Zhou Wangyue looked at Song Chen, his gaze sweeping over him.

"That's a breakthrough."
