The Ultimate Plan

"No, no, we don't want anything, we just want to exchange some Divinity Radiation time with you."

The tall man beside Zhang Xuqiang said with a faint smile.

"No need, my current activation time is just enough."

Cai Xiaodong flatly refused and got up to leave.

The man directly reached out and blocked Cai Xiaodong's path.

"Don't rush. Since the instructor isn't here today, how about we have a real match? Whoever wins gets the other's daily two minutes of Divinity Radiation time, how about it?"

These two scoundrels are clearly up to no good.

Cai Xiaodong said unhappily:

"Qian Shengyue, you're ranked 49th, and I'm 55th. According to mech pilot tradition, only the weaker can challenge the stronger. What are you trying to do?"

"Besides, do you really want to make a move here? The surveillance here is everywhere."

Qian Shengyue smiled faintly, "No, no, within ten ranks, up or down, we can challenge each other. This is the tradition of the Special Selection Class. You're new, so I can forgive your ignorance."

Cai Xiaodong: "Since it's a tradition, there's nothing I can do, but I still don't accept your challenge."

"Really? Your talent isn't outstanding, your abilities aren't exceptional, and your family's strength is also average. Do you really dare to offend our Zhang and Qian families?"

Qian Shengyue said with a proud expression:

"If you're willing to exchange Divinity Radiation time, I can even give you two minutes for one of mine. If you're so ignorant, even if you beg me to give you this Divinity Radiation time, I might not even accept it. Have you really thought it through?"

Cai Xiaodong said disdainfully:

"So what if I offend you? This is Special Selection Class 3, it's Instructor Chen's territory. She sets the rules, not you! You two mere mid-tier Righteous Clan members, you're just relying on your elders who are still serving on the ship? Even so, can their influence reach into the Special Selection Class?"

Saying that, Cai Xiaodong, full of spirit, pushed past the two and left directly.

Qian Shengyue's face darkened:

"Brother Qiang, he wasn't intimidated. This kid investigated us! Otherwise, he wouldn't have known our background as soon as we met."

Zhang Xuqiang snorted lightly:

"It seems I was too lenient with Li Yi yesterday, giving these two the illusion that they could easily deal with me. Since he's so stubborn, I don't need to hold back anymore."

"Brother Qiang, what are you planning to do?"

"I roughly know Instructor Chen Qiong Zhi's logic for ranking combat simulations each year. Your rank difference with Cai Xiaodong is within 6. This means you'll likely be scheduled for a real match within 6 days."

"At that time, I want you to directly destroy his Divine Mech, preferably causing him to be injured and withdraw."

"Once he can no longer continue his intensive training in the Special Selection Class, won't it be easy to deal with him?"

Qian Shengyue nodded, "Brother Qiang's plan is excellent, I'm very impressed. However, my rank is only six places higher than his, and I don't have a sure grasp of inflicting heavy damage on Cai Xiaodong."

"Don't worry, I've reviewed Cai Xiaodong's past combat simulation videos and know his weaknesses and habits. I'll tell you in detail. With your inherent strength already surpassing his, won't it be a piece of cake?"

Zhang Xuqiang said with a faint smile.

"Brother Qiang is amazing. How should we handle Li Yi then?"

"First, we'll deal with Cai Xiaodong and teach him a lesson. After that, if he still doesn't yield, I'll find someone else to make a move on him in a real combat simulation."

"Brother Qiang, forgive my presumption, but are we really going to offend the strongest rookie king in history to this extent?"

"I didn't want any trouble initially, but he took my Pluto Mech. My life is limited, and I can't waste any time."

Zhang Xuqiang glanced indifferently at Qian Shengyue:

"If you don't want to be involved in this, I can understand. You can also withdraw."

Qian Shengyue immediately gave an awkward laugh, "Brother Qiang is joking, of course I don't have that idea."

"Deus Mech Project? It sounds quite impressive."

"Not impressive, but top-tier impressive."

As he spoke, Lin Guotao's eyes revealed an unprecedented, captivating brilliance:

"This is a project that can make you the strongest mech pilot, the strongest human."

Uh, is he bragging that much?

Li Yi's scalp tingled.

The last time he heard such outrageous words was the previous time.

"Continue, Commander, I'm listening."

Lin Guotao saw Li Yi's disbelief but didn't mind:

"Don't think it's impossible. In fact, this is a theory that has undergone multiple validations and has a probability of being realized."

"Currently, within the entire Deep Space Fleet, over thirty mech pilots have participated in this project."

"Our Jade Pool (Yaochi) No. 7 also had two participants before. They are currently stationed at the 45th interstellar defense line, suppressing one side."

"But without exception, those chosen to participate in this project have all become undeniable powerhouses, the pillars of humanity."

"Their combat power is also ten, even more than ten times that of mechs pilots of the same level, or even higher."

"Zhang Shengfeng, have you heard of him? He's a beneficiary of the Deus Mech Project."

"He's also a participant in the Deus Mech Project?"

Li Yi had indeed heard of that name.

Debuting at 20, after a brief few years of experience, he shone brightly in a galaxy-level war at 25, killing hundreds of high-ranking alien mech pilots.

At 32, he defended the Star Ring Restricted Zone, single-handedly killing five Celestial Rank alien mech pilots, his fame spreading far and wide.

"I might as well tell you, Zhang Shengfeng has already broken through to Celestial Rank and above. Currently, he's a top-tier powerhouse ranked in the top ten of our Star Imperium Federation."

"Today, even without piloting a Divine Mech, he can casually shatter mechs of the hundred-meter class with his bare body."

"So, would you say the Deus Mech Project is a supreme plan?"

Hiss...

Li Yi took a deep breath and said with emotion, "What the officer has said truly makes me yearn for it."

Seeing Li Yi's reaction, Lin Guotao felt reassured and smiled slightly:

"Then, let me introduce you to the content of the Deus Project."

"Please speak, officer."

"You should have recently understood the pros and cons of combining and purifying Divinity Radiation, right?"

Li Yi nodded, his curiosity growing.

Could the supreme plan involve manipulating Divinity Radiation?

"Very good, then I'll keep it brief."

"If you want to reach Celestial Rank, the best choice is to maintain the purity of your Divinity Radiation. With the Pluto Mech, a Divine Mech with a potential of at least A-class, you have a better chance than others of reaching Celestial Rank."

"But if your goal is not just Celestial Rank, but beyond it."

"Then, my advice is, you should carefully plan your Divinity Radiation sequence combinations."

Li Yi couldn't help but ask:

"From what I understood before, if there are too many different sequences of Divinity Radiation, it affects the Divine Gene share, thus getting stuck before Celestial Rank."

"That's right, what you understood is not wrong."

Lin Guotao chuckled:

"It's just that we have a way to increase soul strength and improve the Divine Gene share."

"This means that with this method, you can collect different sequences of Divinity Radiation, allowing you to possess a larger and more complete Divine Gene cluster."

Li Yi suddenly realized, this aligned with his subsequent thoughts.

"Does the officer mean that we must plan the proportions of different Divinity Radiation sequences to continue advancing beyond Celestial Rank?"

"That's correct."

"Then, what is the method the officer mentioned for enhancing soul strength? Is it suitable for me?"

"And, what kind of sequence combination is the best combination?"
