"What's wrong?" Azhui asked nervously.
"Could it be that Morgana tampered with Heavenly Blade Seven, damaging our power system?"
Yan frowned slightly, speculating.
"No, neither."
"Our power system is fine. The speed shown here is our current flight speed."
Lingxi's pretty face paled slightly as she looked at Lin Ye in disbelief: "In other words, that tremor just now wasn't a wormhole turbulence, but the thrust caused by a sudden surge in speed."
"All of this is because of what Lin Ye just did."
Lin Ye's operation?
He could do this too!
Yan, Azhui, and the other angels turned their gazes to Lin Ye.
They saw Lin Ye stroking the light sphere with one hand, his eyes casually scanning the long, shapely legs of the Angel Warriors one by one.
When he noticed Yan and Azhui looking over, Lin Ye withdrew his gaze and coughed: "What, is there a problem?"
"No problem." Lingxi was about to answer, but Azhui cut her off: "Lin Ye, I'm asking you, what did you just do?"
"Why did the flight speed suddenly increase?"
"Simple. I just upgraded the power system. Your power system is too fragile. I only did a minor modification, and this is the best I could manage."
"If the power system were a bit more durable, I could push the speed even higher."
Lin Ye said calmly.
Too fragile?
Are you even speaking human language!
They said this was the latest Angel Civilization technology—how was it inferior!
The Angel Warriors were speechless.
A hint of doubt surfaced on Azhui's face, but she pursed her lips and held back her words.
Surprise flickered in her eyes.
It really was him. A modification to the power system had tripled the flight speed. She had no idea how his brain worked.
Yan wasn't much better off. A faint look of astonishment appeared on her pretty face.
After learning that Lin Ye had modified Heavenly Blade Seven's power system.
She felt utterly useless as the original captain of Heavenly Blade Seven. She had held the operating system for so long and never noticed any room for improvement in the power system.
Sigh...
She, too, had been left far behind by Lin Ye.
Angel Yan let out a soft sigh.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for shocking Angel Yan, Angel Lingxi, Angel Azhui, Angel...]
[You have gained a massive amount of shock.]
[Divine Body is being strengthened. Strengthening in progress...]
[Strengthening complete. Your Divine Body has been upgraded to a Fourth Generation Divine Body!]
As the words fell.
Lin Ye's entire body broke out in a hot sweat, like a fever. His vision blurred, and the world spun around him.
The power of the strengthening was too immense. In that moment, his soul was squeezed out of his physical body.
The strengthened body genes changed not only Lin Ye's physique but also the structure and strength of his brain.
The function of a Fourth Generation Divine Body meant not just an invincible body—even if only a single tiny molecule remained, he could survive.
A Fourth Generation Divine Body also included an enhancement in conscious computational power.
At this moment, Lin Ye felt as if he stood at the apex of the universe, his gaze able to overlook countless stars, with nebulas gently rotating in the cosmos.
And Lin Ye was like a watcher, able to see from the beginning of the universe all the way to its end.
The separation of consciousness lasted over ten seconds.
Lin Ye snapped back to reality, and the control light sphere in his hand fell to the ground.
"Ah, how careless."
Lin Ye pushed himself up from the metal bed, intending to pick up the light sphere.
But with just that one movement, his palm directly crushed a handprint into the alloy bed of Heavenly Blade Seven.
With a light pull, he tore a gash into the alloy, which was as hard as a Third Generation Divine Body.
The angels present were all startled at the sight.
"My holy Kaisha!"
"Isn't this the same material as Dark Silver weapons?"
"And you just tore it apart with your bare hands?!"
"Good grief, sisters, who would've thought we've got a living monster on our ship!"
The Angel warriors stared at Lin Ye in astonishment, chattering among themselves.
Lin Ye's body seemed to have grown even stronger.
Yan watched Lin Ye, a solemn look flickering in her beautiful eyes. The last time she'd seen him, his Third Generation Divine Body was already no weaker than hers.
This time, with a Divine Body Upgrade, could he be breaking through to the Fourth Generation?
The Modification System had tripled his flight speed, and he'd researched the Divine Body Upgrade to the Fourth Generation on his own...
If that were true, Yan couldn't even imagine Lin Ye's future achievements.
At the center of the discussion, Lin Ye stared in surprise at his own palm. Even Dark Silver material could be torn apart by hand.
The Fourth Generation Divine Body sure came in handy!
Lin Ye reached out to pick up the Control Orb, but Yan beat him to it, snatching it up first.
"Lin Ye, no need to trouble yourself." Yan smiled.
But the relief in her tone gave away her true thoughts.
Good thing the Control Hub hadn't been crushed by Lin Ye.
"Uh, alright." Lin Ye waved a hand, feeling a bit pleased inside.
Upgrading to the Fourth Generation Divine Body meant he could afford to be a little arrogant in the universe now.
Killing him, a Fourth Generation Divine Body, wouldn't be so easy anymore.
"Actually, I only upgraded the software. If you follow my advice and swap out the ship's Power Device for a hardware upgrade, I can make Heavenly Blade Seven fly even faster."
"Want to give it a try, everyone?"
"I've got three plans here. You can take your pick."
Lin Ye smiled faintly, showing off by pulling out three improvement proposals.
As long as shocking others strengthened his body, he might as well milk the Angel warriors for all they were worth.
"You can make it even faster, and you've got three plans?"
"It'd be amazing if a normal person came up with even one. Looks like this guy's not normal."
"Sister Lingxi, I suddenly want to marry Lin Ye too. With a man this smart, my future Angel baby would definitely be incredible!"
"Get lost, girl. You dare eye Captain Yan's man? Not afraid of getting struck by lightning?"
One by one, the Angel warriors gossiped about Lin Ye and Yan.
All sorts of rumors reached her ears, and Yan's pretty face flushed slightly.
She was good at fighting and killing, but when it came to romance...
She hadn't been in love for a long time.
Seven thousand years had washed away too many of her emotions.
Only Lin Ye made her recall a hint of that initial flutter.
"A man like Lin Ye is too powerful. Compared to Galaxy Power, I wonder who's really stronger?"
"It's hard to judge..."
Yan mused to herself. The moment she thought of Kaisha's comment about sleeping together, her head spun.
In the days that followed, Lin Ye directed the Angel warriors in improving Heavenly Blade Seven's Power Device while cracking various technologies aboard the ship.
Day by day passed, and soon they neared the Chi Wu Star System.
