"Y-Your Excellency, President!"

Seeing the newcomer, the staff member's face immediately filled with shock. He hurriedly spoke respectfully. This person was none other than the top Mecha Master who had come to Eastsea City today to inspect the work.

He was naturally not the president of Eastsea City, but Mu Ye, the president of the Mecha Master Association headquarters in Heaven Dou City.

His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the current era, and he was one of the strongest Red Mecha Masters. It was said that he could wield the strength of a Limit Douluo.

"President?"

Tang Luochuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing that.

There was no other reason. As the owner of the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, he was exceptionally sensitive to Bloodline Power. The bloodline fluctuations emanating from this man clearly did not belong to an ordinary powerhouse.

Yet such an existence had actually come to Eastsea City.

Eastsea City...

Could it truly be so full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers?

"Little friend."

"You still haven't answered my question."

"Do you truly want to become a Mecha Master?"

Mu Ye gave the staff member a slight nod, then turned toward Tang Luochuan with a smile.

Yet inwardly, he was rather astonished, deeply drawn by the Bloodline Power aura surrounding Tang Luochuan.

He had never been to Eastsea City. If he had not accompanied Zhen Hua here to visit relatives this time, he likely would never have come here in his life.

He knew Eastsea City was not a major city. Naturally, it could not compare with cities like Skysea City or Heaven Dou City when it came to producing geniuses. Yet this boy before him was so young...

And he actually possessed such vast Bloodline Power.

At this level, even his disciple A Ruheng had been nowhere close when he was this age. This boy's Martial Soul was especially superior to his disciple's!

Not to mention that he wanted to become a Mecha Master. Was this not a disciple Heaven had bestowed upon him?

"Of course."

"Senior, do you know that mecha are a man's romance... I suppose no boy could refuse them, right?"

Tang Luochuan came back to his senses and answered the man's question as though it were only natural, a smile on his face.

"A man's romance..."

Upon hearing that, Mu Ye froze for a moment, his eyes lighting up.

What a phrase—man's romance!

This little fellow really understood him!

"But Battle Armor Masters are stronger than Mecha Masters."

"With a mecha, you might not have many opportunities for further development in Battle Armor in the future. Your talent is not bad..."

"Are you truly willing to choose the relatively weaker path of a Mecha Master?"

Though Mu Ye was pleased, he still asked.

Even he had to admit that compared to Battle Armor, Mecha Masters had far too little of an advantage. It would have been one thing if an ordinary genius became a Mecha Master, but this boy before him...

With his talent, combining the paths of Battle Armor and Martial Soul would allow him to achieve tremendous things in the future.

"Thank you, Senior, but I know what I'm doing."

Tang Luochuan smiled faintly and did not explain further.

Advancing as a Mecha Master was indeed far more difficult. Naturally, he knew that better than anyone, but...

Mecha really were cool.

Besides, with Heaven-Defying Comprehension, what was there to worry about?

"Interesting. What is your name?"

Mu Ye's eyes held an irrepressible smile.

"Tang Luochuan."

"Good. From what you said earlier, you understand Mecha Design, Mecha Repair, and Mecha Manufacturing?"

"Yes, President."

"Oh?"

Mu Ye looked at him with a smile on his face.

He had almost believed him.

It was true that the little fellow liked mecha, but if he had dabbled in all three Mecha Master sub-professions, that would be far too outrageous.

Even ordinary geniuses would be physically and mentally exhausted just training in two. And he trained in all three?

Where could someone find such talent?

"..."

"Little fellow, come with me."

"Since you want to become a Mecha Master and understand all of those fields, let me see just how far your understanding goes."

Mu Ye stepped forward, signaling for him to follow.

He then led Tang Luochuan into a workshop and walked directly to the workbench.

"The three sub-professions..."

"Since you've dabbled in all three, making the materials for a White Mecha shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Mu Ye pondered for a moment, seemingly considering how to test this boastful little fellow.

In the end, he took out a Rank 2 blueprint from his Soul Tool and tossed it over.

"White Mecha Core."

The moment Tang Luochuan saw the blueprint, he understood.

Most Rank 2 Mecha Manufacturers had the ability to produce the various parts of a White Mecha, and the core of a White Mecha was the most important part among them.

But this...

"A Mecha Core."

"You can't make it, can you?"

Mu Ye wore a smile.

He admitted that he liked this child very much, but being boastful was not a good habit. He claimed to have dabbled in all three sub-professions...

Hm?

Under Mu Ye's puzzled gaze, Tang Luochuan had already taken out various tools and materials from his Soul Tool and begun crafting.

Since it was only basic manufacturing, the structure was hardly complex. Especially in the hands of Tang Luochuan, a Rank 5 Mecha Manufacturer, it posed no difficulty at all.

"No way..."

"Huh?"

Mu Ye's face filled with astonishment.

Before his eyes, in just a few minutes, a core had been made just like that.

"President, this difficulty is honestly a bit too low."

Tang Luochuan said with a faint smile, utterly calm.

A Rank 2 Mecha Core was still somewhat too basic.

"You..."

Seeing Tang Luochuan's calm appearance, Mu Ye wanted to speak but stopped himself. His eyes were filled with confusion. He had thought Tang Luochuan was merely talking big, but he actually had the skill.

"You're already a Rank 2 Mecha Manufacturer?"

"No..."

"If possible, President, you can bring out a simpler Purple Mecha blueprint. Rank 5 will do."

Tang Luochuan shook his head and spoke slowly. No one knew his own talent better than he did.

"What rank..."

"A Rank 5 blueprint?"

Mu Ye's face was full of bewilderment, but as if possessed, he still took out a blueprint for mecha materials and handed it to him.

Don't tell me Tang Luochuan could...

Not long afterward.

Looking at the Rank 5 Mecha Core before him, Mu Ye opened his mouth, unable to say anything for a moment.

"How old are you?"

Only after a while could he not help asking. And he asked about Tang Luochuan's age, because the boy before him...

Was simply far too young.

"Mm..."

"Nine Years Old."

Tang Luochuan looked at him and replied calmly.

Mu Ye: "..."

It was precisely this calm answer that stirred up immense waves in his heart. What had he been doing when he was nine?

As a Mecha Master standing at the very pinnacle of the continent, he had seen countless Mecha Masters and quite a few geniuses.

But the boy before him had overturned his understanding of genius—so there truly were people born to be Mecha Masters.

"No..."

"Didn't you say earlier that you'd also dabbled in the other two sub-professions?"

Mu Ye suddenly realized something and could not help asking.

Don't tell him...

This was real too!
