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

The Court of Judges, the exclusive berth area for the Seventh Action Team.

The small troop transport ship slowly slid into its berth, the psionic shields on the bulkheads receded, and the starlight outside the portholes went from hazy to clear.

Inside the cabin, the eight people were each leaning back in their seats, some yawning, others looking at the data on their mission terminals.

They have just returned to Judgment from Emerald Star.

The cabin was bustling with activity, but everyone tacitly avoided mentioning the winged people.

Song Chen sat by the porthole, toying with a winged human military insignia in his hand.

Iron Hammer grinned and asked, "Captain, how much can we get this time?"

Kane, sitting in the front row, spoke without turning his head: "The debt recovery rate for this trip is over 300%. The excess will be converted into contribution points. This time, including both captures and debts, I should be able to get around 10,000 contribution points."

"On average, everyone can get more than a thousand yuan."

"More than a thousand?" Bone Armor peered over from the back row.

"That's alright. Last time we went to the Zell civilization to collect debts, we ran around three star systems before we got four hundred."

Ricky whistled: "A thousand cosmic crystals is enough for me to exchange for a Star Core-level exoskeleton in the Disciplinary Department's equipment vault."

"You only wore that outfit for two months, didn't you? It was ruined after being sprayed with acid by the Zell people last time. Can't you use it more sparingly?" Lina leaned back in her seat and replied with her eyes closed.

"Can you blame me? Who knew the Zellians would pour acid into their own homeworld's atmosphere?"

"Alright," Kane interrupted them, turning his head to look at Song Chen.

"Vice-captain, why aren't you saying anything?"

Looking out at the bustling city, Song Chen said, "I'm calculating what I can get for a thousand contribution points."

"You can trade anything here. The Disciplinary Department's internal shop sells weapons, armor, pills, and cultivation resources at 30% cheaper than outside. Everything you can buy in the galaxy is here, and even things you can't buy here."

He nodded and then fell silent.

At this moment, the troop transport ship docked and the hatch opened.

Song Chen followed the group down the gangway. In the corridor outside the berth, an analyst in a black uniform from the disciplinary department was already waiting.

"Seventh Action Team, Mission No. Emerald Star Wing Civilization Debt Collection Mission."

"Results verified: The recovered debts, converted into the value of Cosmic Crystals, after deducting Alliance handling fees, amount to a total of 11,047 contribution points belonging to the action team."

"The specific contributions have been distributed to each person's account."

Song Chen opened his disciplinary department terminal, and a new notification popped up on the screen:

[Contribution points received: 1463 points]

Current account balance: 1463 points

[The Punisher Apprenticeship has been activated, and the In-Game Shop is now unlocked.]

He opened the store interface. The product list was much simpler than the system store. It didn't have those items that cost billions, but they were all practical resources circulating in the universe.

They're all good stuff, but they still can't compare to the items in the Killing System.

He doesn't plan to use it anymore; he'll save it for later.

Song Chen quickly glanced at his system panel again: 30.5 billion kill points. This was the reward from the battle of Emerald No. 5, which he hadn't spent yet.

Five thousand kill points can be exchanged for one point of health; three hundred and five billion kill points can be exchanged for six million one hundred thousand points of health or spirit.

But he can't change now. The Judgment Star is full of mental energy scanners, and there are countless powerful figures at the headquarters of the Department of Punishment.

The system adds points silently, but the sudden surge in Qi and Blood cannot be hidden from anyone; you need to find a place where no one can detect it.

He turned off the terminal and turned to Kane: "Captain."

"Um?"

"I want to go into seclusion for a while. I gained a lot from this battle and need to digest it. Is there any way to find a quiet place to retreat?"

Kane thought for two seconds: "That's simple. There are several abandoned star systems near Judgment Star. They were all mined out by the Alliance years ago, and even space pirates don't bother going there anymore."

"Find a deserted planet with no civilization, where there's no one within dozens of light-years, and it's absolutely quiet."

Is it reliable?

"Back when I broke through to the peak of the seventh rank, I squatted on this broken rock for three months."

"Okay." Song Chen nodded. "Captain, could you lend me a spaceship with warp drive capability?"

Kane, as always, gave him face.

"it is good."

He simply took a spaceship key from his waist and tossed it to him.

"Seventh Berth Area, Small Jump Boat No. 3, be careful during jump, don't crash into the star."

Song Chen caught the key, turned around, and entered the seventh berth area.

The third jump boat was moored at the berth. Its hull was painted black, and it was less than 20 meters long. Its shape resembled an elongated teardrop.

He sat in the cockpit, the seat automatically adjusted to fit his body, the control panel lit up, and the interface was written in universal script.

The navigation system displayed a star map of the surrounding area. He zoomed in and found an area marked "Abandoned Resource Star".

Five hundred and seventeen light-years from Judgment Star, three lifeless rocky planets orbit a white dwarf star, with the most recent record of civilization dating back 20,000 years.

The jump engine needed three minutes to warm up, and Song Chen leaned back in his seat and waited.

Three minutes later, the warp drive warmed up.

He pushed the control stick, and the black warship silently slid out of the berth, the acceleration section escaping the gravitational field of Judgment Star, the engine exhaust flames stretching into a straight bright line.

Three seconds later, the jump ring was activated.

The spaceship transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the starry sky surrounding Judgment Star.

Inside the cockpit, Song Chen opened the control panel, pondering how to use it next.

[Kill Points Balance: 30.5 billion]

[Current Attributes]

Qi and Blood: 1.5 million

Mental strength: 1.1 million

[Combat skills already learned]

Star Core Thunder Prison - Second Layer

Eternal Body, Second Layer

Star-Splitting Slash - Second Level

His gaze lingered on the Star Slash section for two seconds before shifting to the Attribute Exchange section.

A solution came to mind.

One day later.

The warp drive has exited its faster-than-light state.

The location Song Chen chose was a truly desolate starry sky.

There are no stars within a 20-light-year radius, and no known civilizations within a 37-light-year radius.

The most recent material is a debris belt consisting of about three hundred asteroids, several thousand kilometers wide, and mainly composed of silicates and iron-nickel.

He found a desolate planet about 800 kilometers in diameter on the edge of the scree belt. It had no atmosphere and no geological activity.

The numerous craters prove that it has been drifting here for billions of years, unnoticed by anyone.

The warp drive hovered in a low orbit 200 kilometers above the surface of the barren planet.
