I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Spaceship Set Sail

Outside the porthole, space was dark and deep—initially awe-inspiring, but after a while, somewhat dull.

Qin Tian lay on the bed, calculating his gains on Elf Star.

First, in terms of talent.

[Barbaric Dominator Body] + [Bloodthirsty Frenzy] + [Violent Ape Body] combined into the Orange Talent [Desolate Battle Body]

[Plant Assimilation] + [Spirit Essence Healing Ability] combined into the Orange Talent [Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds]

[Absolute Gunmastery] evolved into the Purple Talent [Soul of the Gun God]

[Burning Embers Critical Strike] evolved into the Purple Talent [Celestial Destiny Critical Strike]

[Sand Control] evolved into the Blue Talent [Sandstorm Control]

New talents acquired from kills include [Eye of Fear] (Purple), [Evil Demon Soldier] (Purple), [Charm and Fall] (Blue), [Dark Transformation Technique] (Blue), [Thunder Wolf Bloodline] (Green)

The overall talent levels saw a major leap.

In terms of Spiritual Energy.

From Tier Three upon entering Elf Star to Tier Four Three Stars now, he completed an entire tier leap in just over a month—a growth rate unimaginable to ordinary people.

Finally, the Evolution Points

In this month, countless dark creatures died by his hand, causing a surge in Evolution Points. After spending 500,000 Evolution Points to enhance [Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds], 2,760,000 Evolution Points remained.

And this is just an enhancement of strength.

Besides this, he dispelled the Curse of the Evil God, befriended his brother, Elf King Serranriel, brought Feng Mochuan and the Hurricane Mercenary Corps under his command, and also landed a business deal worth billions.

"What a bountiful harvest~"

Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh. The journey on Elf Star ended smoothly, and many matters awaited him ahead.

Once back on Silver Gray Star, first, he would get the business company on track, perfect the relevant procedures, and find a suitable business talent to help the company expand its market.

Moreover, the company should stock talents in finance, law, and public relations. Fortunately, as long as funds are sufficient, all the necessary personnel can be recruited.

Alongside settling these, he must not slack off in cultivation.

Currently, he has the Golden Level Technique "Nine Nether Thunder Brilliance Technique," sufficient until he becomes a cosmic powerhouse, but his martial techniques need upgrading.

The Black Iron Level techniques "Thunderbolt Saber," "Ninefold Thunder Flash," and "Bone-Eroding Hand" no longer match his current battle intensity; enhancing them is imperative.

Fortunately, he had over 700,000 Military Points left, enough to exchange for several Silver Level martial techniques.

With nothing else to do on the spaceship, Qin Tian opened the Military Department's online mall, flipping through the pages on cultivation techniques and martial arts.

After studying for most of the day, he decided on the martial techniques he wanted to exchange.

The simplest was "Ninefold Thunder Flash" since it was originally a Silver Level martial technique; he previously exchanged for the first three stages. Now with ample Military Points, he exchanged for the remaining six, costing a total of 26,000 Military Points.

For swordsmanship, he chose a thunder-element Silver Level technique, "Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes."

"Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes" was created by Tier Eight powerhouse Xiao Zhenyue. This technique perfectly blends the volatility and sharpness of thunder into each move. Its strength can turn the skies and earth in disarray. When unleashed, the sword sheathes in a torrent of thunder, akin to a raging dragon emerging from the sea—traumatizing to behold.

It comprises nine moves: Thunderbolt Slash, Thunder Shadow Flash, Rolling Thunder Break, Serpent Bolt Thrust, Thunder Shock Burst, Thunder Wing Soar, Thunder Prisoner, Thunder Annihilation, Celestial Punishment Judgment.

This sword technique costs 30,000 Military Points.

Then comes the fist techniques; since his body technique and swordsmanship adhere to the thunder element, he leaned towards a dark element for fist techniques to diversify his combat style.

After careful consideration, he selected an equally fierce fist technique "Dark Prison Demon-Suppressing Fist."

"Dark Prison Demon-Suppressing Fist" was created by Demon Suppression Abyss General, Tier Nine powerhouse Jiang Ming. It's a fist technique infused with dark truths and Demon Suppression Power. With "Dark Prison" as its motif, punches surge with demonic qi, akin to a binding abyssal cage, while the impact echoes with the roars of thousands of evil ghosts, specifically countering demonic sorcery.

Its moves are fierce and domineering, possessing power enough to tear through space—indeed a demon bane.

"Dark Prison Demon-Suppressing Fist" comprises three moves:

"Dark Prison Heaven Prison," punching out twin fists to form a cage with Dark Prison Power, incarcerating enemies within, rendering escape difficult.

"Demon Shadow Shattering Void," transforming into a demon shadow, instantly appearing around the enemy, shattering their defenses with thunderous force.

"Demon Suppressing Celestial Punishment," channeling entire bodily strength into a punch containing heaven's might, delivering a mortal blow to demons as if divine punishment descends.

Despite having only three moves, "Dark Prison Demon-Suppressing Fist" costs more than "Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes," totaling 40,000 Military Merit Points.

Silver Level body technique, swordsmanship, and fist technique—these are enough until Tier Six or Seven.

Considering the need for some crowd-damage methods, Qin Tian also exchanged two Bronze Level magics.

One was the advanced magic of "Shadow Touch," "Dark Binding Technique."

The other was the thunder-element magic "Celestial Thunder Fall."

He had mastered "Shadow Touch" long ago, so the cultivation of "Dark Binding Technique" would be relatively easy.

"Celestial Thunder Fall" is a mass attack magic with a broad damage range and immense power. Its only drawback is the need for incantation and seals, but strong enough practitioners can cast it instantly.

Despite still having abundant Military Merit Points, Qin Tian did not opt for Silver Level magics.

Firstly, even though his Spiritual Power under the effect of "Spiritual Wisdom Divine Authority" surpasses peers of the same tier, his fundamental role is still that of a melee Spirit Martial Artist. Both the sniper rifle and magic are merely auxiliary.

Secondly, he wasn't familiar enough with Spiritual Ability Magic yet, having previously only practiced one Black Iron Level magic. One must partake bit by bit; mastering Bronze Level magics first, then considering higher levels once proficient in applying them in combat.

The two Bronze Level magics totaled 8,000 Military Merit Points.

All martial arts and magics together amounted to 104,000 Military Merit Points, leaving 620,000—a still considerable amount.

He couldn't spend it all; spending it all was impossible.

Qin Tian thought delightfully, of course, these Military Merit Points were life-earned. Had he not preemptively sabotaged the Evil God array, the entire continent would have been blood-sacrificed.

This very incident almost cost him his life to the Curse of the Evil God, yet fortunately, his life was tenacious enough for him to narrowly survive.

"Begin cultivation!"

Educational files on martial techniques and magics transferred to personal storage.

The spaceship's space was cramped, lacking practice grounds, but Qin Tian could at least familiarize himself with the Spiritual Energy flow routes, getting acquainted with them all in advance.

With his routine reduced to eating, sleeping, daily cultivation, and delving into martial arts and magic techniques, life aboard the spaceship was surprisingly fulfilling for him.

Finally, after more than half a month, he arrived at Silver Gray Star.

Stepping off the spaceship, the soft sunlight shone on him. Qin Tian lifted his head to gaze into the distance, a triumphant look in his eyes.
