On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Whether there's stock or not, just break it open and see.

Just as the hammer was about to fall, Oak suddenly felt his body lighten, and the hammer in his hand disappeared.

His hands were still in the swinging hammer position.

The next second, a hand gripped his neck tightly.

The force of that hand was as precise as a caliper.

They managed to pinch his carotid sinus, blocking blood supply to the brain without crushing his trachea, preventing him from making any sound without actually suffocating him.

Oak opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Only his eyes could move; the rest of his body seemed to be nailed to the spot, and he couldn't even bend his fingers.

Standing in front of him was Ye Han.

He came in very quickly just as the door closed.

Oak didn't even notice any fluctuations.

Ye Han originally had other plans.

But when he saw Oak raise his hammer to smash the crystal, he changed his mind.

How could he possibly squander such an energy-rich substance? No matter how hard it was, Ye Han dared not gamble.

If the energy structure of this crystal is shattered by the hammer and the energy is lost, where will he find another energy point?

That would be a huge loss.

So we'll just have to make do with Oak.

The pupils behind Oak's sunglasses changed rapidly.

From initial bewilderment, to shock upon realizing what had happened, and then quickly transitioning to fear.

The oppressive feeling this young man exuded was something I had only experienced when facing the Five-Colored Eyes.

The sheer oppressive feeling alone is enough to make one lose all will to resist.

Oak's last shred of hope vanished completely.

Ye Han shifted his gaze to the crystal, raised his hand and pressed it, beginning to absorb energy points.

[Energy Points Gained: 10]

"They added so much at once," Ye Han exclaimed.

To his surprise, 10 o'clock had broken his record for the highest amount of energy absorbed in a single session.

Previously, after searching the entire ocean on Gravity Star, a single ore would only add five points at most, but this black crystal doubled that amount.

It's clear that the energy density contained in this crystal far exceeds any energy material he has encountered before, no wonder even a laser cutter couldn't cut it.

After absorbing the energy, Ye Han withdrew his hand and turned to Oak, whose neck he was still choking.

The officer's face had turned a deep purplish-red, his sunglasses were askew, and the fear in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Ye Han flicked his hand slightly, and a force was transmitted precisely.

Before Oak could even utter a sound, his head lolled to the side and he passed out.

"Now I can use the sheep charm to ask some questions."

He knelt down in front of Oak, his right hand hovering above Oak's forehead.

A faint, almost transparent ray of light extended from Ye Han's fingertip and disappeared into Ouke's brow.

The next second, a semi-transparent soul emerged from Oak's body, like a reflection slowly rising from the water's surface.

The outline of the soul was exactly the same as that of Oak himself, except that it was a translucent light blue with a faint glow at the edges, and it floated quietly in front of Ye Han.

This is a new way of using the sheep talisman that Ye Han developed during his training.

The Sheep Talisman's power is astral projection, originally only allowing one's soul to leave the body.

Through repeated practice, Ye Han discovered that if the target was unconscious and unable to resist, he could use his soul power to forcibly pull out the target's soul as well.

In his soul form, everything about the opponent is under his control.

Unlike the body, the soul has no ability to resist; life and death are decided in an instant.

Oak's soul floated in mid-air for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

Looking back, he saw his body lying face up on the ground, a faint red mark on his neck, his eyes closed, motionless.

"W-What happened? How did I become like this?"

"Stop looking. This is the power of my Rainbow Stone. You are currently in a soul state, temporarily separated from your physical body. Whether you survive depends on your willingness to cooperate with me," Ye Han explained.

Once Oak understood his situation, he immediately knelt before Ye Han, but his soul's knees floated in mid-air.

He couldn't care less about that now.

When survival is at stake, dignity, loyalty, and even the Milky Way Eye become irrelevant.

"Big...Big Brother, please speak! As long as you say the word, I will cooperate a hundred times! A thousand times! I just beg you to let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother to support and a newborn baby crying for milk."

"Alright." Ye Han raised his hand to interrupt his wailing: "Tell me everything about your trip to Rift Star, and the situation of your Galaxy Eye. Tell me everything clearly. If you dare to hide anything..."

Ye Han sneered, a thought flickering in his mind.

The soul body rapidly contracted, and every inch of it, from head to toe, was in excruciating pain.

Oak let out a bloodcurdling scream, his soul shrinking into a ball in mid-air, the glowing light at its edges flickering: "Stop! Stop! Stop! I'll talk! I'll talk! I'll tell you everything I know!"

Ye Han withdrew his strength.

Oak's soul was restored to normal.

After a period of friendly question-and-answer session, Ye Han received the answer.

This time, Ouke learned his lesson and answered every question without hesitation. He even took the initiative to add things that Ye Han hadn't asked, afraid that he might have missed something and be tormented again.

His purpose in coming to Rift Star, the Galaxy Eye's deployment on this planet, and what he knew about the Galaxy Eye's internal organizational structure, the Five-Colored Eyes' intelligence, and the locations of its various strongholds...

Ok poured out everything from his stomach like beans.

As a general under the Purple Eyes, he knows a lot about Galaxy Eyes.

Encountering such a high-ranking person on the first try saved Ye Han a lot of trouble.

The actual size of the Galaxy Eye is much larger than Ye Han imagined.

Each of the five-colored eyes is in charge of a region, and they have countless mid-level commanders like Ork under their command, spread across various star systems, and their influence has penetrated into the administrative, economic, and even military aspects of the Interstellar Alliance.

This organization is no longer an ordinary space pirate; it is a behemoth that rivals the Alliance in the shadows.

But that's all in the future.

The most pressing issue right now is how to get to Tianxue Star.

Fortunately, they encountered Oak, so it was a worthwhile experience.

He pulled a white card from Oak's desk drawer.

The card features the iconic silver eye logo of the Galaxy Eye in the very center.

Oak quickly explained, "This is the identity card commonly used by GalaxyEye; only those at the higher levels can use it."

"It can be used to prove identity on any Class A planet, and the identity card can be used to freely access artificial wormholes, with the cost deducted directly from the Galaxy Eye's account."

"Simply put, with this card, all artificial wormholes on Class A planets are free for him."

Ye Han put the card away.

From now on, we will have an official identity to travel between stars, which is much more convenient and discreet than traveling around using our real names.

"That's good, quite sensible."
