Just to be clear, this is just a fantasy novel, not a technological exposition! Besides, I'm also a science student, so I know all this! But if everything was real, everyone would feel bored too, wouldn't they?

Mu's pace was elegant and calm, as if he was taking a stroll in the park, without a hint of hostility. His remaining right arm was holding a 7-meter long titanium rod, pointing diagonally at the iron lizard that was working hard.
The iron lizard's brown body was covered with a thick layer of pale blue scales. As if it sensed the murderous aura in the air, it stood up abruptly and glared at Mu and Shang with its blood-red eyes. Ye Chong could not help but shiver even though he was sitting in the pilot cabin.
The iron lizard looked terrifying enough when it was half lying on the ground. When it stood up, it looked more like a hill, a hill clad in armor, casting a huge shadow on the ground.
Mu Shang didn't say anything. He just stood there quietly and stared at the leviathan in front of him. However, he was like a god looking down on all living beings, while the iron lizard in front of him was like an ant high up in the clouds.
The iron lizard sensed danger and did not dare to move recklessly. It only dug the ground with its front legs and growled in a low voice.
Ye Chong saw a different scene in the pilot cabin. He put on the helmet, and everything around him appeared before his eyes. Mu and Shang's body should be equipped with many hidden mirror images from different angles. Through the AI of the photon processor, Ye Chong felt like he was standing outside the mech.
Ye Chong could not close his mouth in shock. That … That's crazy! Ye Chong had piloted many mechs in the NR training base, and was no longer the naive kid he used to be. However, none of them could compare to Mu. The other mechs only had more screens at most, to ensure that they did not miss any angle.
For the first time, Ye Chong felt mysterious about Mu's origins.
However, before he could think of anything, the scene before him changed. The iron lizard's holographic image appeared before Ye Chong's eyes, spinning. Beep! A red light flashed, and the iron lizard's holographic image was divided into countless tiny grids, and a red spot appeared under the iron lizard's chin.
Ye Chong heard an unfamiliar electronic voice, "Scan complete, target confirmed!"
With a light leap, Mu silently rose from the garbage hill that was more than 20 meters high like a bat flapping its wings. If the background was a full moon in the night sky, people would definitely mistake him for a noble young master walking under the moonlight. He was elegant, cold, and exuded a fatal temptation.
How could a mech have a human-like temperament? Ye Chong could not believe it, but he had to, because it all happened right before his eyes.
Ye Chong's vision blurred, and the scenery changed. The iron lizard appeared without warning. Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. Ye Chong could even see the mysterious patterns on the lizard's scales.
If there had been anyone else present, they would have seen an extremely strange scene. Mu, who had been leaping into the air, had suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of the Iron Python Lizard. It seemed to have broken the shackles of time and space, disappearing and reappearing out of thin air.
That was why Ye Chong was startled by the sudden appearance of the iron lizard.
The iron lizard was also startled by Mu. Its huge head tilted slightly, and its hind legs were about to step back.
Just as the iron lizard raised its head, a silver flash flashed by. The sharp tip of the titanium rod was moving at an extremely high speed, leaving a silver flash in the air. It was straight and without any twists and turns. It was obvious that the tip of the titanium rod did not tremble at all during Mu's stab. The sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air was enough to tear one's eardrums.
Poof! The titanium rod sank deep into the tender flesh of the iron lizard's neck. The iron lizard's brown eyes were wide open, staring at Mu without moving. Mu did not say anything. He quickly retreated 20 meters away from the iron lizard and stared at it.
The iron lizard seemed to have finally understood. Its hoarse and shrill voice floated in the garbage dump, and grew weaker and weaker until it became silent. The iron lizard's widened eyes were lifeless, and the life force was long gone. Stinky saliva mixed with bright red blood dripped from the corner of its mouth through the gaps of its teeth, which were twice as thick as Ye Chong's fingers, and dripped to the ground.
Ye Chong was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded! Since the beginning, Ye Chong's mouth had not closed!
This was the first time Ye Chong witnessed Mu's true strength! This was way too ridiculously strong!
Ye Chong's mind was now occupied by the soul-stirring stab. The silver line that could cut through the air, and the unique sound of air tearing, replayed in Ye Chong's mind again and again.
Even when Mu asked him to come down to skin the lizard, he was still in a daze. His footsteps were as light as a feather, as if he was treading on clouds.
After a long while, he finally came back to his senses and quickly helped to peel off the scales of the iron lizard.
Ye Chong looked away and said, "Mu, that stab of yours was perfect! Amazing! "His tone was filled with indescribable admiration.
Mu did not agree. "Perfect? I'm still far from it! My stab was lacking the most important thing! "
Ye Chong was stunned, and stopped what he was doing. "Lacking the most important thing? What is it? "
Mu also stopped and explained patiently, "It's the spirit! Even though my stab was impeccable in terms of strength, angle, and timing, my attack was lacking the spirit. In other words, it was lacking the soul! Even though I don't know who said this, it has always been in my chip. I believe this saying is probably correct! However, I have never understood this point. My skills have been developed to the highest level of the photon processor, and I am not a human after all! And this seems to be a human's specialty! "
"Spirit …" Ye Chong murmured, and could not help but be fascinated. All this while, he had thought that he was already quite strong, and the victories these days seemed to have proven it. However, after seeing Mu's stab just now, Ye Chong realized that he still had a long way to go. Ye Chong was sure that he would not be able to dodge Mu's attack. Ye Chong began to take his own strength seriously. Discouragement and inferiority were not words in Ye Chong's dictionary. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to reach or even surpass Mu!
Mu took a piece of iron lizard scale and bent it in his hand. He could not help but praise, "Not bad! The strength can reach 8 to 12, and the toughness is between 7.0 to 7.2. Such high strength and high toughness, how rare! "
After saying that, Mu placed a piece of the Iron Python Lizard's scale on the ground. With a shake of his right arm, a speck of silver light slowly floated down onto the Iron Python Lizard's scale. With a muffled sound, a cloud of dust spread out from the center of the scale.
Mu picked up the scale. Other than a tiny mark in the center, there was no other damage. Mu nodded, "This is good stuff. Ye, let's not keep any of these scales!"
Ye Chong replied, "Of course! Such a good thing, I don't think I will ever get to see it again!" Ye Chong was speechless as he saw the spider web-like cracks on the ground beneath the scale.
The two of them scraped the iron lizard's body clean. Ye Chong was sure that this iron lizard had never been this clean since it was born! Ye Chong even filled up a bottle of iron lizard's blood. Ye Chong, who had been thinking about the taste of the iron lizard's meat, would not let go of such a good opportunity. He cut off one of the lizard's front legs and carried it on his shoulder, looking back at the mountain of meat from time to time. Tsk tsk, grandpa will be leaving soon, or else I will be able to eat for many days!
