After everything concluded, Qin Tian returned to the 27th Army’s First Base on Baiquan Star with Commander Rosen and the others, where the civilians would also receive subsequent resettlement.Inside the spaceship, he received the same treatment as Bai Ye, Xue Qingshan, and other Sixth-level experts, enjoying a private single room.After a refreshing bath to wash away the smell of blood, Qin Tian lay on the bed, habitually tallying the gains from this mission.Nearly seventy percent of the Xingdao (Star Pirates) from the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates were killed by him alone, which caused his evolution points, which had almost bottomed out, to surge back above 2,000,000, reaching 2,150,000.As for the talent light orbs, they were even more exaggerated.There were a total of 87 new talents in the recycling station, but they were mainly white and green, with only a few blue talent light orbs.The talents of Blood Demon, Ling Jue, and Morris must all be Silver-level or above, meaning purple talents; unfortunately, Ling Jue and Morris’s bodies were recycled on the spot, and he didn't have time to loot them.However, for him now, one or two purple talents were no longer that important.In fact, he didn't want to integrate too many talents into his body now; after a certain point, quality over quantity became paramount, and upgrading a few primary talents to orange or higher levels was far better than having dozens of low-level talents.He looked through all the new talents, and honestly, not many caught his eye.Most were abilities like water control, fire control, body mutation, or ordinary bloodline abilities; even if upgraded to a high level, their usefulness wasn't significant.However, the few talents that did catch his eye were indeed unique in their own ways.First was Carl’s talent, 【Magnetic Field Sensing】.This talent allowed him to sense the magnetic fields of different humans, living beings, and even objects; it was through this talent that Carl saw through his disguise at a glance.【Magnetic Field Sensing】 had a similar effect to 【Heat Source Sensing】, so Qin Tian integrated 【Magnetic Field Sensing】 into the Night Demon King talent.The integration went smoothly, and the Night Demon King talent description also included the ability to sense and distinguish magnetic fields.He just didn't know if, after this integration, Li Qi, Feng Mocuan, and other Night Demons would also awaken Magnetic Field Sensing.This was an experiment for him; if Li Qi and the others could truly awaken it successfully, then he would integrate more talents into the Night Demon King later, such as Light Distortion, which was a very fitting talent for Night Demons.The second talent was a martial arts talent he had long been looking forward to.【Martial Sense Awakening】.The talent level was the lowest, white, and the description was only one sentence: “Slightly increases efficiency when cultivating basic martial arts, and allows for quicker mastery of the basic essentials of moves.”A low talent level was not a problem; as long as the direction was correct, the rest could be handled by evolution points.Qin Tian directly invested 200,000 evolution points to upgrade this talent to purple.【Name】Formless Martial Arts (Purple).【Type】Passive Talent. 【Description】You are naturally resonant with martial arts, possessing extraordinary comprehension; any martial art can be quickly mastered, and you can self-improve move flaws during training and actual combat; when witnessing others perform martial arts in combat, your eyes can instantly dissect the moves, analyze their core essence, and construct an “Enlightenment Hall” in your mind, imprinting the opponent’s martial arts within it. Within the “Enlightenment Hall,” you can simulate the execution of martial techniques countless times, deduce their variations, weaknesses, and internal energy circulation paths until you completely master their essence. After mastering a martial art, you can not only perfectly execute it but also further improve and optimize it, even integrating features from other martial arts to enhance its power.After 【Formless Martial Arts】 awakened, Qin Tian suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment; the few cultivation methods he had already mastered, Thunderclap Blade, Heavenly Execution Nine Strikes, Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist, Ninefold Lightning Flash, and Corrosion Hand, suddenly gained new understanding at that moment.Immediately after, a spark of inspiration lit up in the depths of his consciousness.He vaguely stepped into a magnificent and ancient hall—the Enlightenment Hall.The hall's ceiling was boundless, like a starry sky inverted, with countless martial dao true meanings transforming into flickering fireflies; the four walls were carved with obscure and profound ancient martial patterns, each seeming to breathe; the floor was like a mirror, reflecting thousands of figures, all practicing different martial arts.And at the center of the hall, a translucent small figure stood suspended in the air—it was clearly a miniature version of Qin Tian himself.“What is this? A Martial Dao Primordial Spirit?”Before he could ponder deeply, the small figure began to move—blade light flashed, thunder surged, and the originally fierce Thunderclap Blade now gained a touch of agility, each strike aligning with the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao; as fists and palms intertwined, the true meaning of demonic suppression in Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist was no longer confined to form, but transformed into an invisible net, causing even the void to tremble; when moving, the lightning trajectory of Ninefold Lightning Flash became even more profound, the nine layers of limits were completely broken, as if he had truly transformed into lightning, freely traversing between heaven and earth…Every move and every stance demonstrated by the small figure seemed to strike at the essence of martial arts.The original rigid framework of moves was completely broken, replaced by a nearly instinctive true meaning of martial arts.Qin Tian could clearly feel that these martial techniques were undergoing some kind of qualitative change—they were shedding the shackles of “form” and gradually returning to their most fundamental “intent.”Inside the Enlightenment Hall, time seemed to lose its meaning.When the small figure finally ceased its movements and stood still, all the martial dao true meanings that had been practiced actually condensed into a dazzling light wheel in the center of the hall, slowly rotating and emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation…Swish~Qin Tian opened his eyes, and myriad martial dao true meanings seemed to flow within his pupils, then instantly returned to stillness.“Impressive.”Qin Tian’s mouth curved slightly; 【Formless Martial Arts】 was unlike other talents, it didn't offer numerical or attribute increases, but its impact on his combat power was no less significant.From now on, he was not only a genius in swordsmanship but also an all-rounder in martial arts.Besides the two talents above, there was another interesting talent.This was a green talent called 【Weapon Blessing】, which could temporarily improve the quality of a weapon.Qin Tian also invested 200,000 evolution points into this talent, successfully evolving it to purple.【Name】Weapon Master (Purple).【Type】Active Talent. 【Description】You possess a unique ability to make any weapon break its limits, temporarily activating or permanently enhancing a weapon’s potential performance. 1. 【Divine Weapon Blessing】 (Temporary Enhancement): Strengthen a weapon with the power of the Weapon Master, temporarily increasing the weapon’s base attributes by 50%, and temporarily awakening one or more of the four enchantment powers: Sharpness, Lifesteal, Demon-Slaying, and Overload.2. 【Artifact Soul Awakening】 (Permanent Enhancement): Continuously nurture a weapon with the power of the Weapon Master, permanently increasing its base attributes by 200%-300%, permanently awakening the four enchantment powers: Sharpness, Lifesteal, Demon-Slaying, and Overload, and having a certain chance to make the weapon awaken sentience, thereby gaining special abilities.“This talent is amazing too~”A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes.Temporary enhancement could boost the attributes of his own and nearby teammates’ weapons, and awaken one to four enchantment powers.Permanent enhancement could not only permanently increase attributes and awaken all enchantment powers but also promote the awakening of weapon sentience.It’s important to know that the Gun God's Soul talent could make firearms awaken gun souls and sentience; now, with the Weapon Master, the path to sentience awakening for the Hidden Kill sniper rifle would be even smoother.Of course, the black frost blade also benefited greatly; whether it was the increase in base attributes or the awakening of the four enchantment powers, it was a qualitative leap for a cold weapon.Swish. The black frost and Hidden Kill appeared in his left and right hands, and the power of the Weapon Master slowly flowed into them.Swish—The black frost and Hidden Kill simultaneously appeared in his left and right hands, and the power of the Weapon Master slowly flowed ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) in like a trickling stream.The blade of the black frost blade began to emit a faint blue glow, like moonlight flowing over the metal surface, and intricate ice crystal patterns condensed at the edge of the blade; with every breath, these patterns flickered slightly, as if inhaling and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.Qin Tian could feel that this battle blade was undergoing a slow and profound transformation—its material was being reorganized, and the molecular structure of the blade edge was becoming denser, but the true evolution still needed time to settle.The Hidden Kill’s reaction was equally noticeable.The patterns on the gun body pulsed like blood vessels, the barrel felt slightly warm, and faint mechanical reassembly sounds came from within; these changes were intermittent, clearly not yet fully stable.The most miraculous thing was that Qin Tian could vaguely sense a faint “desire” emanating from the firearm—a sign of nascent sentience.“It seems it needs continuous nurturing for over a week to complete its final evolution…”Qin Tian gently stroked the two weapons, clearly sensing their “growing” state.The black frost blade’s chill became more restrained, while the Hidden Kill’s gun soul fluctuations were sometimes strong, sometimes weak, like a baby’s heartbeat.This change was subtle, but it was indeed happening.With a thought, he activated 【Divine Weapon Blessing】.In an instant, the black frost blade was covered in a layer of crimson flowing light, and the chill at its edge surged threefold; a cluster of blue energy condensed at the muzzle of the Hidden Kill, and the gun barrel felt slightly warm when a bullet was loaded.This was the effect of temporary enhancement; though astonishing, it was merely an appetizer compared to the impending permanent evolution.“Interesting.”Qin Tian’s mouth curved slightly; this “nurturing” feeling made him look forward to it even more.He seemed to already see how these two weapons would appear in his hands in a completely new form a week later.Aside from these three talents, the remaining talents were temporarily stored in the recycling station; perhaps in some future scenario, an inconspicuous talent might play a huge role.One day later, the spaceship landed on Baiquan Star. The 27th Army’s Baiquan Star First Space Base floated in the deep starry sea, like a giant diamond, its superalloy armor reflecting a cold, sharp light under the starlight.Three layers of circular defense belts surrounded the base, each densely packed with pulse laser cannons and ion torpedo launchers, like impregnable barriers, constantly on alert for potential threats in the universe.Inside the base, various warships were docked in an orderly fashion, exuding majesty.“Canglan-class” battleships were quietly moored, their massive hulls resembling mobile fortresses, with solar sails unfurled like the pectoral fins of a giant whale, radiating a powerful aura. “Xuanjia-class” cruisers were docked nearby, mechanical arms systematically replenishing their ammunition, silver-white warheads forming a continuous chain in the transport pipes, like sharp swords waiting to be drawn, poised for action.There were also “Falcon-class” small warships neatly arranged, with miniature cruise missiles hanging under their wings, sharp as bee stings, hinting at a readiness to soar forth at any moment.These warships complemented the magnificent base, together forming a picture full of power and majesty, showcasing the formidable strength of the 27th Army in the Liyue Star Region.Through the transparent viewport, Qin Tian observed the space base, a hint of emotion rising in his heart.For this encirclement of the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates, the 27th Army only dispatched fifteen Shadowblade destroyers; the main force consisted of six powerful experts like Commander Rosen, but with the 27th Army’s strength, even without high-level Spiritual Energy Users participating, these ships from the First Base alone would be enough to annihilate the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates.In front of a powerful space fleet, one Seventh-level and two Sixth-level Spiritual Energy Users were simply not enough.Inside the space base, Qin Tian transferred to a small spaceship, which finally landed smoothly at the ground port.The hatch opened, and everyone stepped out one after another.Immediately after, Blood Demon was escorted out of the cabin by two guards in heavy mechs, their arms held by them, with specially made metal restraints firmly locked around his wrists, ankles, and neck.The surface of the shackles was covered with dark red runes, which subtly wriggled as if alive, emitting a faint glow; each flicker seemed to inject an invisible force, firmly suppressing the surging psionic energy within him, leaving him without the strength to even lift a finger.The lower half of his face was covered by a dark iron half-mask, the edges of which gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster where they met his skin, revealing only a pair of tightly closed eyes and messy black hair on his forehead.Perhaps the suppression from the runes had put him into a deep slumber, as his body slumped against the guards, showing no signs of struggle.“Qin Tian, I will personally escort Blood Demon to the secret base later, awaiting the people from the Dongfang family for handover.”Commander Rosen looked at Qin Tian and smiled: “You can explore Baiquan Star and have some fun. Yan Qing will arrive in a few days. Also, all your expenses can be reimbursed by me.”“Yes, thank you, sir!”Qin Tian saluted.After being cooped up on the spaceship for over a month, he had long wanted to return to solid ground and get some good rest.Arriving on a strange and new planet, it was natural to experience the local customs and traditions.Qin Tian first searched for information about Baiquan Star.Baiquan Star’s ecological environment was very unique; underground, it had rich mineral and crystal resources, diverse in types and astonishing in reserves, many of which were key materials for manufacturing high-end weapons and energy equipment, possessing extremely high strategic value throughout the Liyue Star Region.However, the climate of this planet was extremely harsh; during the day, the surface temperature could rise to seventy or eighty degrees Celsius, and the ultraviolet intensity far exceeded human tolerance limits, while at night it would plummet to tens of degrees below zero, the huge temperature difference making ordinary buildings difficult to withstand.Coupled with the occasional global magnetic storms that interfered with the normal operation of electronic equipment, various factors made it unsuitable for long-term human habitation.Therefore, this planet was mainly controlled by the 27th Army; apart from military bases and resource extraction areas, only some relatively stable environmental regions had established cities, and the city perimeters were equipped with sturdy protective shields to resist extreme weather and magnetic storm incursions.However, this planet also had a unique feature: hot springs scattered everywhere.These hot springs varied in size and form; some were just ordinary hot springs, with warm water that could relieve fatigue; others were spiritual springs, deeply rooted underground, constantly drawing energy contained in the surrounding minerals and crystals, with rich psionic energy flowing in their waters, making them excellent cultivation grounds for Spiritual Energy Users. Many Spiritual Energy Users would specifically apply to come to Baiquan Star, just to cultivate in the spiritual springs and enhance their own strength.“Spiritual springs~”Qin Tian stroked his chin, a glint flashing in his eyes.
