"No, this sniper is too terrifying. This shooting ability is simply beyond what a normal human can possess. How can his ability to lock onto a presence be so strong?"

The Sea Blue Star General felt a chill run down his spine.

He didn't care about the death of a Level 3 soldier.

But every Level 4 soldier was an important combat resource for Sea Blue Star.

Losing even one made his heart ache!

"The enemy's energy shield is running low on power! Hurry up and shatter that damned energy shield, I want to kill this sniper with my own hands!"

His eyes turned bloodshot, and he glared at the spaceship's protective shield with murderous intent.

It was as if he could see through the spaceship's shield and spot the powerful sniper inside.

As the Sea Blue Star People attacked, the remaining energy in the shield began to plummet.

20%

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Two shots were fired, instantly taking the life of another Level 4 Gene Warrior.

15%

"Buzz! Buzz!"

10%

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The energy shield's power was rapidly decreasing, and four Level 4 Gene Warriors had already died at Su Ming's hands.

Su Ming gripped his sniper rifle tightly, his eyes exceptionally calm. At this moment, he made a silent resolution in his heart.

He crouched inside the spaceship, maintaining his shooting stance, standing motionless in front of the ship.

5%!

The energy shield's power had dropped to 5%!

But this time, Su Ming didn't pull the trigger. Instead, he focused his presence... towards the Level 5 Gene Warrior!

The Sea Blue Star General seemed to sense Su Ming's focus, and he slightly frowned, a hint of a sneer appearing in his eyes.

Trying to attack him? That sniper had gotten too arrogant. Did he think that after killing a few Level 4 Gene Warriors, he could attempt to attack a Level 5 warrior?

Too naive!

If someone were beside him at this moment, they would surely notice that the Sea Blue Star General's body was subtly swaying.

The amplitude was almost imperceptible.

But... it was precisely within this slight sway that he easily evaded Su Ming's attempt to lock onto his presence.

His body seemed to be swaying, but at any moment he could dodge in any direction, making it extremely difficult for the sniper rifle to lock on!

Su Ming remained motionless, but one could clearly see... a bead of sweat slowly forming on his forehead.

At this moment, his mental power was being pushed to its absolute limit.

There was no other way; the gap in energy levels between them was simply too vast.

Even with Su Ming unleashing all his brain domain energy, it was still incredibly difficult to lock onto the enemy's presence.

If he couldn't lock on, it meant that any shot he fired would definitely be dodged.

If he couldn't even hit, how could he possibly inflict damage?

However... Su Ming had no intention of giving up.

Sixteen years of training had taught him clearly that the struggle between locking on and evading was not just a battle of energy levels, but also a battle of endurance, strategy, and psychology.

Until the very last moment, there would be no definitive outcome!

He continued to strive, doing everything he could to lock onto the Level 5 Gene Warrior.

Just then, an alarm sounded from within the energy shield.

Only 3% remaining!

2%!

1%!

One alarm followed another, like the approaching footsteps of death, creating a suffocating and tense atmosphere.

The surrounding mercenaries instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons, looking at the energy shield with grim expressions.

Only Su Ming... remained in the same posture, like a stone statue, without the slightest change.

At this moment, he felt as if he had entered the state he was in during his daily practice of disassembling and assembling mechanical equipment.

Focused, steady, and completely absorbed!

The accumulation of past efforts would eventually erupt one day.

And today was that day!

Su Ming himself didn't realize it, but at this moment, his Brain Domain Level began to skyrocket during his confrontation with this Level 5 Gene Warrior, instantly reaching an unbelievable level.

"Beep... Energy shield depleted..."

Just then, a warning sounded from the energy shield, and in that instant, the energy shield shattered!

At that very moment, Su Ming's eyes snapped wide open, a fierce glint erupting within them!

Now!

The instant the energy shield broke, a momentary shift occurred in the Level 5 Sea Blue Star Person's mind.

This sliver of a change allowed Su Ming to successfully lock onto him!

"Beep... 100 Starlight Points consumed... Starlight conversion successful..."

A massive amount of starlight surged into the Sniper Rifle in Su Ming's hand, causing the weapon to erupt with an exceptionally dazzling light at that moment.

The light illuminated the entire battlefield, astonishing everyone.

The next moment...

"Buzz!"

A low sound echoed again.

But this time, everyone felt as if the gunshot was ringing out within their very souls.

Just hearing the sound sent shivers down their spines and made their souls tremble!

The Sea Blue Star General felt an incredibly terrifying aura engulfing him from all sides.

An unshakeably firm killing intent locked onto him.

No matter how he tried to dodge, he would be hit by this shot.

"How is this possible?"

His pupils contracted sharply.

At this moment, he felt a soul-deep fear surge through his mind.

The next instant, the Sea Blue Star General saw a dazzling expanse of starlight flare up before his eyes, like a sea of stars, engulfing him.

After the starlight... his vision turned completely dark, and his mind could no longer process any thoughts...

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion reverberated throughout the industrial zone, and even people miles away felt a strong tremor coming from a certain direction.

The deafening noise ended... The Sea Blue Star's Level 5 Gene Warrior was reduced to ashes by this single blow, utterly annihilated!

Su Ming, sensing the Level 5 Gene Warrior's aura vanish instantly within the starlight, let out a sigh of relief. Immediately after, he felt an excruciating pain spreading through every inch of his body.

The Starlight Points he had just exchanged from the System had far exceeded his body's capacity.

Such immense energy had almost torn Su Ming's body to shreds.

Su Ming gradually felt his head grow heavy and his body light, becoming dizzy.

Using the last of his strength, Su Ming spoke to the System in his mind, "System... use the remaining Starlight Points to restore my vital organs..."

"Beep... Starlight Points remaining... 12 points... Beep... Restoring internal organ damage..."

Hearing the System's voice, Su Ming finally relaxed. His vision then went black, and he collapsed headfirst in front of the spaceship.

"Quick! Mr. Monte, you take Su Ming to the hospital for treatment first, and we'll escort you out!"

"His body has been cracked open by energy exceeding his physical limits; he's injured everywhere. Be careful! Even putting too much force on him could be fatal!"

"Stop the nonsense, the enemy commander is dead! We'll charge out of the battlefield with Little Master Su Ming!"

Seeing Su Ming fall, all the mercenaries were greatly alarmed and, like madmen, began to escort Su Ming out of the battlefield
