No one mocked, no one felt jealousy or hatred; humanity was on the brink of extinction, and everyone belonged to the Dragon Kingdom and the Mechanic Legion. Any rational person would refrain from making sarcastic remarks. On the contrary, everyone was happy for Lu Ziye, as he had become a powerful ally, which was beneficial for both the Dragon Kingdom and themselves. After all, this batch of Mechanics would be fighting together in the future.
As Lu Ziye observed the enthusiastic crowd around him, he thought to himself that this was different from what he had read in online novels. Shouldn't there be some Tian Jiao Ban Zhi or school heartthrob jumping out to slap him in the face? With such warmth from everyone, how could he maintain his aloof demeanor?
Lu Ziye's information was reported up through layers of command, drawing significant attention from various departments. After the awakening ceremony concluded, those who possessed a Machine Soul would head to the Training Base to complete their first landing in a mech. Once they successfully adapted to their mechs, they would be dispatched to various Resource Star battlefields the very next day.
He wasn't mistaken; the situation on the battlefield was tense, leaving no time for training or experience accumulation. This was war. Lu Ziye understood this arrangement well; after all, on Earth, his country had also risen from the ashes of war. In those harsh times, two people would share a gun; when one fell, the next would continue fighting, many without any training at all. War never proceeded according to human will.
At Binhai City’s Training Base, successful Mechanics were scattered across the vast outskirts. The area was spacious and suitable for mech landings. At the commander's order, everyone pressed the buttons on their battle consoles. Moments later, a series of Sound Barriers echoed through the sky as various types of mechs, weighing thousands of tons and towering several meters high, approached the ground at supersonic speeds.
Lu Ziye watched as hundreds of small black dots grew larger before beginning to decelerate and activate their retro-thrust devices. With a series of deep rumbling sounds that shook the earth, Flame Dragon Series Mechas landed steadily.
Each nation had its own mech series, and globally mechs were categorized into three types: Guardian-Type Mechas, which excelled in defense and held the frontline; Raider-Type Mechas, which focused on offense and spearheaded assaults; and Roarer-Type Mechas, which specialized in long-range fire support and precise kills.
The body that Lu Ziye inhabited had chosen to volunteer for a Raider-Type Mecha. As he gazed at the towering Raider Mech before him, weighing tons and standing several stories high, he felt a sense of awe. This machine was massive, with an energy core glowing with an eerie blue light at its chest—this core was not only the mech's power source but also key to its upgrades and enhancements.
Newly awakened Mechanics were unable to pilot advanced mechs right away; they needed to undergo a human-mech fusion process and start from scratch.
A small elevator popped out from the chest of the mech, and Lu Ziye stepped inside, slowly ascending. The mech's chest cavity opened, guiding Lu Ziye into its interior, and then the cabin door closed tightly.
The cockpit was located at the front of the mech; it was not cramped at all, resembling a spacious living room where various equipment operated in an orderly fashion. In the center was an ergonomic chair surrounded by hundreds of data transmission lines.
Lu Ziye sat down slowly, recalling the knowledge learned that day, and began his first attempt at controlling the mech.
"Record identity, capture my features."
As Lu Ziye issued the command, a mechanical voice echoed in his ears.
【Recording started. Capturing your voice features, retinal features, brainwave features. You have become the sole Mechanic of this mech. Shall we begin the human-machine connection?】
"Connect!"
With the command given, hundreds of data lines gently adhered to various parts of Lu Ziye's body. A faint current surged through him, causing his brain to jolt as if someone had forcibly implanted an image in his mind.
At that moment, what Lu Ziye saw was no longer the scene inside the cockpit but the vast expanse of the Training Base. Hundreds of various types of Yan Long mechs staggered around the base like drunken men; two of them even collided and fell onto their backsides, kicking up clouds of dust.
Now possessing the mech's perspective, Lu Ziye clenched his fist, and the mech mirrored his movements. Strangely, the sensation of strength felt entirely different. When Lu Ziye normally clenched his fist, he could feel his own physical power; today, however, as he clenched his fist, he experienced the clash of steel fingers and the robust mechanical strength.
It was astonishing—his sensory experience had been replaced by that of the mech. At this moment, if the mech were to lose an arm, Lu Ziye would feel a similar sense of loss.
At that time, a simple mech interface unfolded before Lu Ziye’s eyes in a semi-transparent form.

Infinite Attack Speed: When you kill a Mechanical Beast of equal or lower rank, your attack speed permanently increases. Killing an Elite Level Mechanical Beast grants a permanent increase in attack speed, and killing a Lord-Class Mechanical Beast also grants a permanent increase in attack speed.
Is this what Infinite Attack Speed is? I love it! Lu Ziye thought to himself, delighted by such an extraordinary Mecha Soul Talent: This is solid!
As "Yue Gong Po Zhen Qu" played at Lu Ziye's command, the mecha stepped forward in sync with the stirring music.
With a thought, Lu Ziye summoned the Blood Cry Military Blade, drawing it forth!
The mecha's Energy Core ignited instantly, powerful energy surging into its left arm, forming a blood-red energy blade known as the Blood Cry Sabre, which quickly materialized to a length of one meter.
