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

After thinking for a moment, Song Chen decided how to spend the money.

First, max out your skills, then increase your Star Power, and finally return to the battlefield.

He brought up the system, opened the combat skills section, and looked at the Star Core Thunder Prison and Eternal Body.

It's been a long time since I upgraded them. These two skills are only at level three, which was enough back then.

However, after the eighth tier, the level of enemies is completely different. If these two skills remain at the third level, they will inevitably become a hindrance sooner or later.

He first opened the Star Core Thunder Prison.

Song Chen didn't hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade.

The kill count has started to rise.

On the system panel, the icon representing the Star Core Thunder Prison changed rapidly, jumping from the third layer to the fourth layer, then to the fifth layer, and finally stopping steadily on the sixth layer.

Song Chen felt the star core in his dantian suddenly swell, as if something was about to burst out from it.

He looked inside and saw that the surface of the star core had a layer of fine lightning patterns. Those patterns moved slowly on the star core like living things, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing.

Once they quieted down, Song Chen could already sense that with a single thought, he could create a complete plasma field within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Lei Yu, at the peak of the Star Crown level.

Song Chen didn't stop, and clicked on the Eternal Body again.

The kill count is burning again.

This time, Song Chen felt like his entire body had been completely renovated.

Bones were disassembled and rebuilt, meridians were severed and reconnected, and even the blood was renewed.

The feeling was amazing. The star core felt much heavier inside my body than before, like a real asteroid quietly suspended inside.

Around that asteroid, the corona, like a silvery-white ring, rotated in concentric circles, a sight of breathtaking beauty.

Song Chen exhaled a deep breath, which turned into a pale gold color in the air, lingering for a long time.

He checked his body, then gently clenched his fist, producing a very subtle spatial boom.

"good."

When he came out of his cabin, a crowd had already gathered outside.

Turik and Karen stood at the front, followed by a dozen or so Nine Stars soldiers, all looking at him as if he were a monster.

"What are you looking at?"

The two people opposite him chuckled.

……

Two days later, a new task came down.

This mission is a support mission.

The messenger said that about 80 billion kilometers outside of Zone 68, the two teams ran into an entire enemy assault group.

The enemy's advance was extremely rapid, and our forces were already pinned down in an asteroid belt. The situation was critical, and the higher command ordered the 68th Theater Command to immediately send reinforcements.

The team for this mission was significantly larger, with Turik bringing sixteen operational warships and Karen's elite squad being reinforced by two more people.

In addition, there are two more eighth-order units.

A woman named Qingye from the Moonshadow Civilization, who looks to be only in her early twenties, but whose actual age is unknown.

Another one comes from the Rock Iron Civilization and is a relative of the Ancient Tu. He is called Rock Tu and is a size larger than Turik. His hands are two heavy psionic cannons.

The four teams met at the port.

Turik, as always, had the loudest voice: "Everyone's here? Okay, let me briefly explain the mission. The target area is 80 billion kilometers outside of Defense Zone 68, not far, but the space blockade is still in place. We can only use military windows to jump to the vicinity first, and then fly over."

"We expect to engage the enemy within two hours. The number of enemy ships is unknown, but we know there is at least one large mothership, dozens of escort ships, and high-level life forms."

"So when we get there, don't be reckless. Aoba will lead the left flank, Iwato will lead the right flank, and Karen and the middle lane will follow me."

He turned to look at Song Chen: "As for you, choose for yourself."

"I am free to move around."

"Alright, let's go then."

Several teams entered the leapfrog window.

The space inside the jump tunnel was very stable, and the light and shadows receded rapidly from both sides.

Song Chen closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the task.

Just as he entered the warp portal, in the distant Blood Erosion Nest, Clavisu slowly opened his eyes.

He had several intelligence reports in front of him.

"Target has been deployed. Direction: T-771 outside the 68th defense zone in the western section. Four teams are accompanying the target, five of them are Tier 8, and there are no Tier 9 teams."

Clavisu laughed loudly: "Haha, you're finally out, Kogula, I'll avenge you right now."

He stood up from the bone seat, and the dark phantom of the true star core behind him suddenly expanded.

It then walked outside, the blood mist gathering behind it.
