The furious Shen Mu was not actually angry, but rather extremely excited. He had been excited since running into the canteen because the testing on the other side had been completed. Ji Xinghe really had fixed the damaged component, so he had run all the way to tell Ji Xinghe the good news, leaving Su He behind.After running into the canteen and seeing what Ji Xinghe was doing, Shen Mu became even more excited. He was about to rush over and shout but suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing there dumbfounded like an idiot because he saw that the second lieutenant being examined by Ji Xinghe, who might take the chance to become Ji Xinghe's second apprentice, was a cripple.A cripple was almost impossible to come to an alien planet, let alone become a mech warrior. The brand-new mechanical prosthetic leg was spotless, indicating it was newly fitted, suggesting this mech warrior was not originally a cripple.He was originally a mech warrior with intact limbs, strong physical fitness, an
The noise in the cafeteria vanished as everyone fell silent, watching the old man and the cripple. The terms "old man" and "cripple" were mere descriptors, devoid of any discrimination."Really, is it possible?" The lieutenant still couldn't believe it. He had chosen to hope, and this hope had given him further hope, but deep down, he wasn't confident. Everyone in the base had told him: you're done, you should retire, you can return to Azure Star and live a good life. Leave this war to us."Yes, it really is possible," Ji Xinghe replied seriously in both tone and expression. "As long as it's without armor, it truly is possible."The lieutenant's eyes reddened. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. He wanted to cry, but his status wouldn't allow it. After a deep breath and another, he calmed himself in the quiet cafeteria and spoke slowly."Thank you, but... thank you, truly."The lieutenant bowed to Private Ji Xinghe, a gesture unrelated to rank, but rather to age an
The people in the cafeteria dispersed, perhaps due to the appearance of the colonel, so no one came to ask if Ji Xinghe, this supreme master, was accepting disciples. With no one to disturb them, the grandfather and granddaughter enjoyed a hearty meal. Sighing Shen Mu and the excited Su He also ate their fill.As the dining time was about to end and the four of them were just leaving the cafeteria, they were stopped again."Mr. Ji, is it because of my bad attitude earlier?" Master Liu said excitedly. "If that's the case, please allow me to apologize. I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to be able to repair mechas, especially since you said yourself that you had never touched a mecha before. But you can't reject my offer because of my attitude. If not for the sake of those mecha warriors who need mechas to continue fighting, you should at least give me a chance to make up for it for my grandfather's sake. Our 109th operational area...""Master Liu, you exaggerate. It's really not bec
Right now, Ji Xinghe doesn't really want to go to the mecha district. He wants to see the junior officer with the mechanical leg, but unfortunately, he doesn't know the officer's name or number, so there's no way to contact him.He probably can't sleep, just like me.Can Xin Xin sleep? Probably not, but she'll definitely lie in bed without moving because she doesn't want me to worry, just like she didn't want to affect her mom's work before.So, I should work even harder.Thinking this, Ji Xinghe arrived at the mecha district. This time he came alone. Without Shen Mu helping to authorize his access, he thought he might not get in, especially since he refused the job offer from Section 109 and publicly questioned the base's overseeing officer, the lieutenant colonel.Unexpectedly, but logically, as he approached the metal door of the mecha district, his authorization was directly completed. The electronic voice sounded, "Welcome, Specialist Private Mecha Mechanic Ji Xinghe."He now had
Despite Ji Xinghe’s usually polite and good-natured temperament, he becomes quite domineering when it comes to three things: his granddaughter, the martial arts that have earned him his reputation as a master, and anything related to mechanics—even if it’s mechas instead of the cars he’s most skilled at repairing.Master Liu and the others didn’t insist on Ji Xinghe watching the live test. In fact, their invitation was just out of politeness. There were eight mechanics in Section 109, but only Master Liu and two others were involved in the live test. The other five were continuously working on repairs."You should go to Section 21 first. Don't waste time."While looking at the maintenance request list on the holographic screen, Ji Xinghe directly dismissed Shen Mu. Shen Mu had intended to keep persuading Ji Xinghe to join him at Section 21, as they were more familiar with each other, but Ji Xinghe wasn’t willing to go for now. He wanted to see what he could do first.Shen Mu could onl
By the time Muria turned twenty-one, almost all the fledglings had gone through dormancy and entered the juvenile stage. The surge of power gained during dormancy made many dragons restless, eager to challenge the rules set by Muria.Subsequently, Muria dealt with these rebellious fledglings one by one, reinforcing the punishment matrix he had modified, forcing them to remember the fear they felt when they were fledglings, under his control.Managing ninety-five fledglings and managing ninety-five juveniles were completely different levels of difficulty, but even with this surge in management difficulty, Muria managed to handle it.Inside the Dragon Castle, there were hundreds of golden-level cloud giants, and hundreds of storm giants were on standby. These juvenile dragons were only at the bronze and silver levels. It would be a hundred years too early for them to rebel against him.As Muria approached his twenty-first birthday and entered his twenty-second year, the six red dragons
"Crack!" The sky above the Titan Archipelago began to shatter, with transparent shards falling down! But through the gaps in the falling fragments, the sky remained blue, unchanged. It wasn't a pitch-black void."Hmm?" Muria was initially puzzled. According to his understanding, the sky was supposed to be infinite and couldn't have a physical presence. He thought the cracks in the sky were caused by the spatial fissure created by the sun-like presence.But when actual fragments started falling from the sky, Muria realized that it wasn't a spatial fissure. The falling fragments weren't spatial debris. The continuously dissipating, faintly glowing, semi-transparent fragments were a type of energy crystal."A super-large-scale lock." Seeing this situation, Muria immediately identified what was falling from the sky based on the books he had read over the years. These years of reading were not in vain.Those were shattered fragments of the defensive barrier, and they belonged to a super-la
"Hmm, it's normal for my form to change now that I've become a Dragon King!" Dimos lowered his head, and the two molten-gold-like dragon pupils looked down at Muria, who had grown to fifteen meters tall over the years, and the golden dragon girl."It's you, Atreus, my daughter," the golden Dragon King exclaimed with a hint of surprise, "You called me 'dad' today. It's been so long since I heard that.""Hey, old man, I rarely call you dad, and you should just respond properly when I do. What's with the big deal?" The golden dragon girl sat on Muria's now exceptionally broad shoulder, her face displeased."Old man!" When Dragon King Dimos heard his daughter call him that, his expression immediately returned to normal. This was the name he was accustomed to, but he found the term "dad" a bit awkward.Muria, witnessing this exchange, felt a bit confused. Was this a normal father-daughter relationship? His impression of the Golden Dragon Princess Atreus had always been positive; she was po
