Gu Yue: So That Was Why He Did It

"Besides Mecha Manufacturing."

"Mecha Design, Mecha Repair..."

"Have you really dabbled in those as well?"

Mu Ye calmed himself before looking at the person before him, disbelief written all over his face as he asked.

At first, he naturally had not believed it.

But now...

Having witnessed the other party's extraordinary talent in mecha-related fields, he felt that perhaps Tang Luochuan really was capable of it.

"Of course."

Tang Luochuan nodded and answered seriously.

"As expected."

Mu Ye could not help but take a deep breath.

A genius who could reach Level 5 in manufacturing at nine years old—if he had truly also studied the other two sub-professions, it did not seem like such a huge issue.

Of course, their levels probably would not be as high as Level 5. At most, they should be around Level 3...

No, wait!

Since when had a nine-year-old genius reaching Level 3 in a sub-profession become merely average!

Mu Ye quickly shook his head. He had nearly been led astray.

Bang...

At that moment, under his gaze, Tang Luochuan used his Martial Soul. He extended his Golden Dragon Claw and fiercely struck the metal material he had just manufactured.

"What are you..."

Mu Ye was instantly dumbfounded. Why had he destroyed it?

Still, he had to admit that the destructive power of that strike had been far too great. Luochuan's bloodline and vitality...

Were far stronger than he had imagined.

However, when he saw Tang Luochuan actually begin repairing it, his mind seemed to freeze in an instant.

Don't tell me his repair skills are Level 5 too.

"..."

Not long afterward, Mu Ye held a Yellow Mecha design blueprint personally designed by Tang Luochuan, along with an unfinished Purple Mecha design, his expression pensive.

"So, Luochuan..."

"Mecha Repair, Mecha Design, Mecha Manufacturing."

"All three of your sub-professions are Level 5?"

An undisguised look of confusion covered Mu Ye's face. After pondering for a moment, he still could not help asking.

How could there be...

Such a genius in this world!

Had the heavens not given birth to Tang Luochuan, mechas would have remained in eternal night!

"Mm..."

Tang Luochuan nodded lightly, though he silently thought of his Level 5 Blacksmith badge. In truth, he had reached Level 5 in four professions.

Whew...

"Would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Mu Ye looked at him and sighed inwardly for a long while before finally asking.

He had to take him as a disciple.

If he let such a disciple slip through his fingers, he would wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself.

"Senior, I have no plans to take a master yet."

Hearing this, Tang Luochuan shook his head with a polite smile.

It was fine to leave an impression on this man, but as for becoming his disciple, he would have to politely decline.

First, he had no intention of taking a master, and besides...

Though the man before him appeared powerful, in this era filled with Limit Douluos, someone who was merely the president of the East Sea City Mecha Master Association was still somewhat unremarkable.

Even the true number one Mecha Master, the sect master of the Original Body Sect, was only comparable to a Limit Douluo and had not truly entered the top tier.

Moreover, Mecha Mastery was not all that necessary to him. Naturally, he would not take a master for its sake.

"..."

"Is that so?"

Mu Ye was stunned by Tang Luochuan's words, but ultimately nodded. He respected his choice.

With Tang Luochuan's talent, even if he became his teacher, he would not actually be able to help him much. After all, the most important thing in the path of a Mecha Master was one's own research...

And he believed Tang Luochuan could certainly make it on his own.

"Level 5 mecha profession badges... Mm, I have them. Take these."

"I'll also register your information with the headquarters."

Mu Ye took out three badges from his Soul Tool and handed them over with a smile, then gazed deeply at Tang Luochuan, warmth in his expression.

He truly wondered when they met again...

What heights Tang Luochuan would have reached.

"I have matters to attend to, so I won't stay here any longer."

"If you have any questions or anything you don't understand in the future, you can come find me in Heaven Dou City. Here is my contact information. Though..."

"I doubt there will be much that can stump you."

Mu Ye said frankly with a smile.

With that, he lightly patted Tang Luochuan on the shoulder and left in a carefree manner.

Of course, before departing, he also went to speak with the president of the East Sea City Mecha Master Association. If anyone gave that interesting little fellow trouble in the future...

It would be easier for them to look after him.

"Mm..."

"Heaven Dou City?"

Tang Luochuan tossed the three badges into his Soul Tool. Hearing those words, he fell into thought. No wonder Eastsea City had someone like him.

So he had come from another major city.

"Heaven Dou City..."

"I'll go there eventually."

Tang Luochuan shook his head indifferently and smiled.

As one of the finest cities of this era, as well as an ancient city with twenty thousand years of history, Heaven Dou City carried considerable weight.

Soon, he stopped thinking about it and likewise left the room, walking away.

Meanwhile.

"Mu Ye."

"Where did you go? You were gone for so long."

"Don't tell me you have relatives in Eastsea City."

Before Mu Ye, a tall and imposing man with short stubble looked at him and could not help asking.

His name was Zhen Hua, a Rank 9 Blacksmith and Divine Craftsman. He was publicly recognized as the continent's greatest blacksmith and was the president of the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association.

"Hahaha, not at all."

"I met an incredible genius at the Mecha Master Association, so I stayed a little longer."

Mu Ye shook his head, unable to suppress his smile.

"Oh?"

"An interesting genius? Then shouldn't you have taken him in and brought him back for me to see?"

Zhen Hua immediately grew curious and asked with a chuckle.

"He refused."

Mu Ye shook his head calmly.

"Huh?"

Zhen Hua was instantly stunned. He had refused Mu Ye?

Mu Ye was the strongest among Mecha Masters. When it came to mechas, no one was stronger than him. And someone had refused him?

"Is his talent really that good?"

"Mm. As for how extraordinary his talent is, you can think of it as..."

"A nine-year-old at the peak of Level 5 Blacksmithing."

Mu Ye said with a smile.

"..."

"How could there be such a genius?"

Hearing that, Zhen Hua disdainfully shook his head. He did not believe such a genius existed.

"But if there really were one..."

"Then he truly should refuse you. With that kind of talent, no one could possibly serve as his teacher."

The next moment, he spoke seriously.

If there truly were a nine-year-old Level 5 Blacksmith, he would not even have the nerve to take him as a disciple. No one could teach such a genius.

"Still, I don't believe someone like that exists..."

"Hahahaha, believe it or not, that's up to you."

"..."

At the same time.

"Bear King, has Luochuan returned?"

"What was he doing before this?"

Within Eastsea Academy, Gu Yue stood in her private dorm room, looking at the person before her with an indifferent expression.

She wanted to see just what that guy had been doing!

He had even refused her. What had it been for?

"Master, Lord Golden Dragon King, he..."

"..."

"So..."

"After becoming a certified Level 5 Blacksmith at the East Sea Blacksmith Association, he went to the East Sea City Mecha Master Association."

"And became a certified Rank 5 Mecha Designer, Mecha Repair Master, and Mecha Manufacturer?"

"..."

"So you left me behind in order to become stronger. Then I suppose you can be considered..."

"Ambitious."
