Transcendent Dawn

The so-called ‘Energy Stone’ is a dedicated energy source for charging the Mech suit.

And the ‘Neuro linkage component’ is the bridge that connects thought with machinery, a crucial step in transitioning the suit from manual to mental operation.

These two mechanical components are hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than gold and jewels of the same volume, even a rare commodity that cannot be bought with money.

“From this perspective… the physical attack power of this world will become frightening with the presence of Mecha. Still, their understanding of the Spirit World and Spiritual Bodies is very backward… If we approach from this angle, deploying something like ‘Phantom Mecha’ would be like wreaking havoc on all sides…”

The so-called ‘Phantom Mecha’ is a spiritual body Mecha, the pinnacle of technology among the Star Devourer Clan—a perfect fusion of mystery and science.

The Mecha itself is stored in the Spirit World, drawing energy from it. The pilot can summon it to cover the entire body merely by thought when encountered with any incident.

Such a Mecha is already perfect in many ways; it can even feed back into the pilot, allowing both to grow together.

“Unfortunately… for the Star Devourer Clan, this technology can only produce Mech suits equivalent to the Fifth or Sixth Order. They mature to the Fifth Order, and with some effort, the Sixth Order is possible. So, its actual value is not very significant… But in human society, it’s comparable to a nuclear bomb…”

“With my current resources, I can’t even build a mechanical arm… so I have to keep climbing upwards …”

At this moment, he already has a plan, choosing the Royal Mechanical Academy as a stepping-stone, gradually revealing his talent and strength, while fulfilling Morphy’s wish as well as ascending to the Sixth Order and ascending to the Abyss!

“The spirituality of this world is very active and can completely support the existence of the Fifth and Sixth Order. The Star Devourer Clan is the proof…”

…

The next day.

Su Lu was delighted to find that his breakfast had significantly changed, no longer just black bread with pea soup. It seemed that Joanne did take his advice.

“The next step is to have her resign, take her to a big city and leave her with some money before finding an easier job. This would be looking after my sister, right?”

Su Lu, dressed in a neatly pressed school uniform—and essentially the only outfit Morphy could wear in public—arrived at No. 19 on Silver Avenue.

It was a beautiful two-story villa, red and white, with a small garden behind an iron fence.

‘It’s slightly inferior to Becklode’s, but as a temporary residence, it’s already very good…’

Su Lu casually thought as he pressed the doorbell.

A butler wearing a tailcoat came out: “May I know who you are?”

“I am a student of Mechanical High School—Morphy! I am here to visit Professor James. Here is my letter of recommendation!”

Su Lu handed over the recommendation letter with signatures from his teachers.

“Hmm… please wait.”

The butler invited Su Lu into the main door to wait in the living room and then went into the study on his own.

Not long after, the silver-haired butler came out: “The master happens to be free. You don’t need to make an appointment.”

“That’s great…”

Su Lu showed a smile and realised from the butler’s actions that he wasn’t hired temporarily. He couldn’t help but be amazed by James’ wealth.

Having a butler accompany him wherever he goes, such style is akin to that of a noble. Moreover, in Kinsley, where there are numerous workers, it seems particularly luxurious.

He entered the study and was surprised to find many machinery placed in the room; the smell of machine oil hit him in the face. A metal table was placed in the middle, with a wrench, pliers, and other tools on it. There was also a strangely shaped chair nearby; it appears that the study has been turned directly into a mechanical lab.

In the lab, there stood a middle-aged man with a square face who wore a navy-blue mechanic’s overalls and sported a couple of beards.

He took off the glove stained with black oil from his hand and smiled, “Morphy? Being recommended by all review teachers of a high school, you indeed are not bad… hmm, only regarding high school students, though.”

“Thank you for your praise, Mr. James.”

Su Lu responded with a smile.

“I’ve seen your graduation project. It has creative ideas and clear design… a rare combination.”

It could be seen that this was the main reason James had agreed to meet Su Lu: “However…”

He turned serious, “If you want to be an excellent mechanic, you are still lacking a lot.”

A mechanic is a master related to the manufacturing of Mech suits, while the Mech pilot is merely the person who operates the Mecha. The two professions are very different.

“I hope to make up for my shortcomings in college.” Su Lu replied, not humbly but confidently.

“No… your shortcomings do not come from other knowledge or talent as a mechanic, but… an excellent mechanic should also be an excellent Mech pilot. Only then can they design the perfect Mech suit. Nothing is more convincing than one’s own experience…”

James’ corner of the mouth unveiled a smile, “So… I want to test your talent as a Mech pilot.”

This is like asking a scientist to participate in a combat test. It’s a bit difficult if not for the [Arcane].

“Thank you.”

Su Lu was also curious about the talent of this body and was somewhat eager to try it out.

“To become an excellent Mech pilot, you first need a robust body—muscle strength, lung capacity, limb extension force…”

James scrutinized Su Lu closely, “You are too thin, it seems that you have been somewhat malnourished in the past … But that’s not a big problem. There are many ways to compensate for that in college!”

Su Lu rolled his eyes, noticing that James liked to gasp when he talked, unsure if it’s a bad taste.

After learning a few movements, James nodded, “There’s no significant problem with the body… but the key is still spiritual strength, nerve reaction speed, and what I consider most importantly… Super Sense!”

“Super Sense?”

Su Lu’s expression suddenly became subtle.

“Yes, ‘Spiritual strength’ determines your ‘operation time’, ‘nerve reaction speed’ determines your ‘agility’, and the most critical ‘Super Sense’, or ‘Mechanical Affinity,’ is what determines the shackles of how far a Mech pilot can go!”

James waved his arm, emphasizing his tone: “This is my judgment made after collecting information from most top Mech pilots. Although it is just an immature theory currently… Now, boy, let’s see if you have any hidden treasures.”

He let Su Lu sit on that strange chair and connected various lines to Su Lu’s head.

On the screen at the other end of the circuit, various curves jumped crazily.

“Spiritual strength level Ⅴ, Excellent!”

“Nervous reaction speed… is also level Ⅴ?”

James touched his head and showed a smile, “Unexpectedly, you indeed are a ‘treasure boy,’ you have the talent to become a powerful Mech pilot! But to become a true ‘ace,’ there is still something missing… Here, hold this Sensing Metal.”

He handed a piece of silver metal to Su Lu, his expression becoming more serious than ever, “Hold it, feel it!”
