Chapter 66: Battle Armor

As for his own abilities, Chen Mu naturally knows them better than anyone; during this period, he has done a lot of targeted training.

They mainly focus on combat ability.

After all, staying alive comes first.

And combat is divided into two aspects: offense and defense.

The latter was inspired by the subconscious shield he produced at a critical moment last time, allowing him to instantly unfold a shield in front of him, which can definitely cope with most physical attacks.

But what Chen Mu didn't expect was that this shield move actually helps a lot in making plastic boards now.

Compared to the previous house.

This time, not only is the speed much faster, but the quality is clearly higher, with uniform thickness and smoother edges, reducing a lot of subsequent repair work.

You should know that this plastic board is much larger than the last one.

"Have you been doing targeted training lately?" Tang Jing asked.

"Yeah, it's the shield I unintentionally used last time."

Chen Mu said while speaking, he wiped his hand at his waist, and instantly a round shield appeared in his hand, blocking in front of him.

To onlookers, this speed was so fast it was unimaginable, and basically inconceivable.

He Ying, Du Jia Jia and the others were first startled, then they laughed and clapped, making Chen Mu feel a little embarrassed.

"This move is indeed not bad." Tang Jing also laughed, but then said: "But have you thought about trying another method?"

"What?"

"Um... for example, control this piece of stainless steel to wrap around your own body."

"This..."

Chen Mu thought for a moment and understood Tang Jing's meaning.

Inspired, he focused his attention again on the stainless steel in his hand.

This time.

The stainless steel did not undergo a large-scale opening and closing change.

Instead, it slowly melted on Chen Mu's hand, then, like a flow of water that has lost gravity, it clung to his arm and slowly crawled upward.

Until the silver-gray metal covered half of his forearm.

Chen Mu suddenly stopped.

Tang Jing laughed: "Just like that."

At this moment, Qian Fei, who happened to be walking over while carrying things, immediately exclaimed upon seeing this:

"Holy shit, Iron Man!"

Iron Man's nano battle suit is usually unnoticeable, but when needed, it can quickly cover the entire body.

Chen Mu's movements are somewhat like Tony Stark's in Avengers 3, although both speed and coverage are far inferior.

Qian Fei seems to be a Marvel fan, and he quickly chattered on about the situation of Iron Man's battle suit.

Tang Jing nodded and said: "Actually, what I had in mind is exactly like this."

However, Chen Mu shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, doing this now has low cost-effectiveness, high difficulty, and covering the whole body is probably not possible."

Tang Jing thought for a moment and then asked: "Chen Mu, your ability must be triggered by contact with an object, right?"

"Hmm."

"Must it be with both hands?"

"This... I tried using my feet, and it works too, but the efficiency is still not as good as with both hands."

"Besides hands and feet, then?"

"Huh?"

"Have you ever thought that if your whole body could serve as a fulcrum for controlling ability..."

Tang Jing said up to this point.

Chen Mu already understood her meaning and immediately focused his spirit.

The next moment.

The "stainless steel glove" that originally only reached the forearm suddenly changed again, just like before, continuing to slowly crawl upward along the arm.

And this time, the speed was actually not slower than before.

"As expected."

Chen Mu felt delighted and said: "It seems not limited to hands and feet; as long as it's in contact with the body, it can produce an effect, but the efficiency seems even worse than with the feet."

"This speed is already not slow." Tang Jing said.

"I tried controlling the target with each patch of skin on my arm separately, completing the action step by step, and the effect seems pretty good."

While Chen Mu was speaking, the metal glove had already spread over his entire right hand, up to the shoulder.

Then, without stopping, it continued to spread toward the torso.

He was wearing a short-sleeve T-shirt, but the metal battle suit spread close to the skin, so it looked as if Chen Mu had another tight-fitting garment underneath the T-shirt.

Chen Mu seemed to have found a trick; the speed of the battle suit's coverage kept increasing until it went through the whole body, spreading from the right hand all the way to the left hand.

Soon, the entire upper body, except the head, was already wrapped in a thin layer of stainless steel.

"Whoa!"

"Cool!"

The male students who were initially moving supplies have now been drawn over by the commotion here.

After Wei Dalei and the others came over, they first saw a half‑Iron‑Man‑like Chen Mu, exclaiming in surprise while also cursing out of envy.

Chen Mu lowered his hands at a 45‑degree angle, turned his whole body stiffly in a circle, and even he felt quite fresh.

"But this way, you can't move, right?"

It is obvious that even a thin layer of stainless steel can firmly bind Chen Mu, like a sculpture, unable to move at all, only able to be admired.

It seems indeed not practical.

Tang Jing also found it a bit funny.

However, just then.

Only saw Chen Mu suddenly move, his hands slowly making an embracing motion.

Although slow, he was indeed moving.

How did you do that?

Just using the ability in real time to change the shape of the battle suit. Chen Mu said while doing stretching exercises.

In that case, it's not completely useless. Tang Jing pondered.

But it's very taxing.

Chen Mu finished speaking, gradually retracting the metal battle suit; the stainless steel crawled back along the way it came, finally returning to his right hand, turning into a belt that wrapped around his waist again.

For now, the effect is very limited, possibly not as useful as a shield, but this is indeed an idea.

Chen Mu was very clear.

Using other body parts to activate the ability currently seems to have little development value, because to make the 'battle suit' effective in actual combat is still far off.

But once the ability is further strengthened and control becomes more proficient, this method might produce many unexpected effects.

Feng Xiao Yu suddenly said: "If this ability is sufficiently proficient, could it be used to walk through walls?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But they soon all indicated it was feasible.

Even Chen Mu and Tang Jing nodded thoughtfully.

From the first time Feng Xiao Yu saw Chen Mu, she was curious about his ability; although Chen Mu did not intend to hide it from her, he had never directly answered.

This caused Feng Xiao Yu's curiosity to grow stronger; after officially joining, she eventually learned clearly from others, and it was obvious that she had also pondered it when she had nothing to do.

For those without awakened ability, the longing for Special Ability is understandable.

For example, Du Jia Jia.

Although she never said it outright, whenever discussing Special Ability, she still felt a sense of loss.
