"Holy crap, this damn system finally let me out!"
After leaving the main hall, Su Ming was sent into a vehicle.
The vehicle sped toward an interstellar teleportation station somewhere on the planet.
No one noticed that Su Ming, sitting alone in the vehicle, gradually changed his gaze from confused and foolishly vacant to clear and lucid.
A glimmer of divine light flashed through his eyes, and he immediately began complaining.
Su Ming was not from this world. He was a transmigrator from Huaxia on Earth.
What made Su Ming different from other transmigrators was that, the moment he arrived in this world, his consciousness had been imprisoned by the system known as Mecha Martial Venerable in an independent space.
For the past sixteen years, his consciousness had been forced to cultivate a technique called the Starry Sky Limitless Heavenly Art.
Meanwhile, his body had remained muddleheaded and dazed. He had to dismantle one million mechanical components before completing the mission and having his consciousness released from the system.
But... a cold glint flashed through Su Ming's eyes.
Kellen. Suri, was it?
And the supporters behind him.
Although Su Ming's consciousness had been unable to return to his body during this time, he had seen everything that happened within his body clearly from the independent space.
While his body had remained muddleheaded, Kellen Suri—also known as Su Ming's so-called older brother in this life—had used every possible method to target Su Ming in secret.
Over the past sixteen years, Su Ming's body had barely cultivated. On the one hand, his body itself had indeed been dull and foolish, knowing only how to dismantle mechanical components.
On the other hand, that bastard named Suri had secretly instructed the attendants not to give Su Ming any chance to cultivate.
He had even suppressed the news that Su Ming was not cultivating, preventing Clarence, Su Ming's father in this life, from finding out.
"Just you wait. When I come back, I'll tear that stinking face of yours apart!"
Su Ming thought darkly.
At that moment, Su Ming sensed a strange energy emerging from the system and instantly surging into every part of his body.
Under the effect of this energy, a series of changes began taking place in Su Ming's body.
A tremendous change occurred at the deepest level of his genes.
He had originally been a carbon-based life-form, but as this energy poured into him, Su Ming's body gradually transformed into a strange half-energy, half-flesh body.
"Beep... Genetic alteration successful. The host has obtained the Nine Radiance Star Saint Body..."
"Physique compatibility confirmed. The Starlight Points function has been activated."
"Beep... For every mechanical component the host dismantles, he will automatically obtain one Starlight Point."
"Starlight Points can be used for cultivation, repairing injured flesh, converting into attacks, and body tempering."
If someone had been standing beside Su Ming at that moment, they would certainly have discovered that the energy level emanating from his body was rising wildly.
His Physical Level had originally been only 1 point, but with the system's automatic conversion, his Physical Level soared directly to 21 points.
Likewise, as his consciousness returned, his many years of cultivating the Starry Sky Limitless Heavenly Art had already forged his consciousness into something extraordinarily powerful. His Brain Domain Level instantly rose to 25 points!
This was an incredibly terrifying energy level.
After all, Suri, the empire's number-one genius of the past decade, had possessed energy levels of only 13 or 15 points when he first activated his Gene Lock.
But Su Ming's energy levels had directly reached 21 and 25 points, leaving Suri far behind.
In a sense, Su Ming's first Gene Lock activation had already broken through the limits attainable by humanity.
"Beep... The following is the host's attribute panel."
Host: Su Ming Physical Level: 21 Brain Domain Level: 25 Gene Lock Activation Level: First-Level Intermediate Physical Vitality: 100% Body Tempering Level: First Level (Starlight Points required for the next Body Tempering Level: 100) Starlight Points: 0
Amid this series of changes, Su Ming felt the vehicle carrying him come to a stop.
The vehicle door opened, and an attendant stood outside. A trace of disdain and contempt filled his gaze as he looked at Su Ming.
"What a piece of trash. You wasted such excellent resources. If I'd been born with even half of your advantages, you'd probably be licking my toes by now."
"But even now, the so-called second young master of the Kellen Family was still driven out. Hurry up and get out. Do you still think you're that second young master?"
The attendant cursed and grumbled.
In fact, within the Kellen Family, whenever no one else was around, all the maids and attendants around Su Ming treated him with contempt.
Some attendants and maids who were unusually hostile toward wealthy heirs would even vent upon Su Ming twice over the grievances they had suffered from other masters.
After all, Su Ming was an idiot who understood nothing and knew only how to dismantle mechanical components.
As long as they did not take the mechanical components from his hands, this idiot would show no reaction no matter how others beat or bullied him.
Su Ming's gaze turned cold. He remembered exactly what despicable things these attendants had done to him before his consciousness recovered.
"Do you even know what you're saying?"
Su Ming stepped out of the vehicle, looked at the attendant facing him, and spoke with an indifferent gaze.
Seeing that the second young master of the Kellen Family, who had always been beaten and cursed at without the slightest reaction and knew only how to grin foolishly, had actually spoken up on his own—and that the vacant stupidity of his former gaze had vanished, replaced by profound coldness—the attendant could not help but freeze.
"What's going on? The idiot can talk?"
The attendant muttered to himself, then flew into a rage.
"What the hell are you doing? Do you really think you're still the second young master you used to be? You're about to be assigned to work in the border star regions. There, you'll be worse off than a dog, and you still dare to shout at me?"
The attendant sneered at Su Ming. Then he reached out, preparing to slap him across the face.
He knew perfectly well that Su Ming's Physical Level was only 1 point.
He did not even reach the energy level of an ordinary person.
The attendant's energy level was a full 3 points. Although he had not even unlocked his Gene Lock, that was still enough to slap Su Ming into a pig's head.
But just as his hand was about to swing, Su Ming reached out and grabbed his wrist.
Su Ming applied the slightest bit of force, and a crisp crack rang out from the attendant's wrist.
In the next moment, the attendant's wrist was crushed to pieces by Su Ming. Even a hospital would probably be unable to reattach it!
"Ah!!"
The attendant screamed in pain, staring at Su Ming with disbelief and terror.
Wasn't this second young master of the Su Family supposed to have an energy level of only 1 point? How could someone with an energy level of 1 possibly possess such tremendous strength?
Before he could think any further, Su Ming raised his hand and slapped him across the face, sending him reeling like a pig's head. His vision went black, and he fainted.
"If killing someone on the capital star didn't result in a prison sentence, you wouldn't have gotten away with merely having your hand bones crushed today!"
Su Ming spoke coldly. Then he bent down and took the attendant's Star Coin card and access pass from his arms.
Su Ming straightened and walked toward the space teleportation station ahead.
According to imperial law, young people aged sixteen who lacked cultivation talent had to work unconditionally on a logistics planet at the front lines for five years!
Since it had already been decided, Su Ming could not very well defy it. Otherwise, he would be setting himself against the laws of the entire empire.
Besides...
Since the Kellen Family had already struck his name from the family register, Su Ming might as well head to another planet and carve out a world of his own!
