Like Mo Tianyun, Ke Lei was an extremely brilliant genius in his youth, always winning first place in every assessment and being the kind of child other parents admired.

Corey possesses an extremely terrifying talent: he can easily learn and quickly master any martial arts combat skills, mecha piloting techniques, mecha manufacturing techniques, or even scientific research knowledge, just by glancing at it.

Mo Tianyun felt somewhat incredulous. Although he learned very quickly, he was far from being as monstrous as Senior Brother Ke Lei. One reason for his previous achievements was his talent in learning and combat, but the most important reason was the simulation space!

The simulation space gave him the opportunity to try and fail repeatedly. Through countless practices, he summarized his experiences time and time again, which is why he progressed so quickly.

However, Senior Brother Corey made rapid progress solely based on his personal talent.

From childhood to adulthood, Corey consistently achieved the top score, ranking first in the combat mecha master academy of the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy. Like Mo Tianyun, he entered the Oron Genius Mecha Master Academy at the age of sixteen.

At the academy, he was accepted as the second disciple by Elder Darren Jonah.

However, Corey did not receive the treatment of an elder-level strong seed, because he only won the top spot on the overall ranking of the Battle Mech Academy assessment.

Unlike Mo Tianyun, who was able to successfully top the overall score rankings of four colleges.

At the university, Corey met a female student named Nina.

Nina is very beautiful, comparable to Princess Ilya of the Empire. Her genetic evolution talent and combat mech pilot talent are also very high, ranking her in the top ten among her peers.

They initially met while sparring in the martial arts room, but over the course of several years at the academy, they gradually fell in love with each other.

But Nina's father, a grand marshal of a noble faction, was furious when he learned that his daughter had fallen in love with the disciple of the leader of the opposing faction! He arrested Nina and confined her to her quarters, forbidding her from seeing Corey again, and arranged a marriage for her with someone of equal social standing.

The other party in this marriage is the son of Byron Tours, the current head of the Byron family.

After learning that Nina had been confined to her home and betrothed by her father, Corey took advantage of the fact that Nina's father was away on a mission and broke through the blockade to rescue Nina.

Later, Nina's father returned and, with a forceful attitude, dragged Nina back once again, forcibly separating the two of them once more!

Feeling his own weakness, Corey followed Elder Darren Jonah to the northern part of the empire to fight against the alien beasts, the insectoids, and the Dylan Empire, honing his skills in battle after battle.

Five years later.

The day the Bartholomew and Byron families held their joint wedding.

Kore, who had returned from the north of the empire, was now a powerful figure with the strength of a Grand Marshal. He led several marshals from the commoner faction and caused a huge disturbance at the wedding!

Meanwhile, Nina threatened suicide, which forced her father to compromise.

Under double pressure, Nina's father gives Corey a chance: to overcome himself and prove that he has the ability to protect Nina.

With many Grand Marshals and Marshal-level powerhouses as witnesses, Corey and Nina's father fought in a desolate star system near the Imperial main star. In the end, Corey defeated Nina's father and won the heart of his beloved!

However... the Byron family also has a Grand Elder backing them up, and that Grand Elder is also their patriarch. Nobles always value their reputation highly, and now that something like this has happened, the family has lost face big time. Even if Corey is a Grand Marshal-level powerhouse, he cannot let this go easily!

With the support of the elder, Grand Marshal Byron Tulls personally issued a challenge to Corey to a duel. If Corey lost, he would have to kneel down and apologize, and Nina would not be Corey's wife in name. If Corey won, he would forgive and forget, and even personally dissolve Nina's engagement!

Kore cannot escape this battle, because Nina was previously engaged to someone else. According to imperial law, both parties must dissolve the engagement before Kore can marry someone else.

In the next battle, Corey was dominated from the start by Byron Tulls, who had been a Grand Marshal for many years.

Finally, as he was about to be defeated, Corey saw Nina watching from afar, tears streaming down her face. He thought of the wonderful times he had spent with Nina at the academy. At this critical moment, his mental power broke through to the perfect state of Star Shifting – Star Return.

With this, Corey's mental strength surged, and the power of his mech combat skills also surged, which completely turned the tide of the battle!

Seeing Senior Brother Corey and Nina embracing each other, Mo Tianyun thought of Shen Xiyue.

The process of getting to know Shen Xiyue and falling in love was almost without any obstacles; everything happened naturally and effortlessly.

But the pairing of Corey and Nina is just too difficult.

Senior Brother Corey had to defeat two Grand Marshal-level powerhouses before he finally won the heart of his beauty!

Time flows slowly in the virtual world, and ten years pass in the blink of an eye.

"Kore, the Dylan Empire has sent three Grand Marshal-level experts to attack Star Cluster 74. I can't hold out much longer here. You're the closest to me, come and help me!"

A Grand Marshal from the populist faction has requested assistance from Corey!

Kore rushed to the defensive front of the 74th Star Cluster and swiftly killed one of the relatively weaker elders of the Dylan Empire!

He ultimately won the war, and Kore was promoted to Grand Marshal.

The Grand Secretary is an official position in the Dylan Empire, and is of the same rank as the Grand Marshal in the Oron Empire.

In the Dylan Empire, above the Grand Secretary is the Elder, corresponding to the Elder-level powerhouses of the Oron Empire. Above the Elder is the King, corresponding to the Grand Elder-level powerhouses of the Oron Empire.

Not long after Kore became Grand Marshal, more than a dozen Zerg Kings led a massive Zerg army that swept across the Empire's north like locusts. In this battle, one of the Empire's Grand Marshals fell, and the Zerg broke through a defensive line, preparing to attack countless logistics and immigration planets.

Logistics Planet is a place where the families of Imperial soldiers can live.

Upon hearing the news, Corey rushed back as fast as he could, because his most important family members were on these logistics planets!

To protect her and Corey's two-year-old child, "Cody," Nina unleashed her general-level strength, slaying two Zerg generals. However, Nina perished under the attack of the Zerg commander, and Corey returned too late.

But Corey ultimately saved his son Corti, and then annihilated the Zerg army that broke through the defenses, saving countless logistical and colony planets.

Through countless word-of-mouth accounts, Kore became a great hero of the empire.
