God's Descendant?

"Alright. I'll have someone prepare the materials for you right away." Xu Lin said no more and immediately called someone through the Soul Guidance Phone to deliver the materials.

Less than five minutes later, a middle-aged man arrived at the office with three sets of materials.

After dismissing the man, Xu Lin led Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na to his private workshop, where the metallic scent was especially strong.

Numerous rare metals were displayed on the shelves along both sides. There were great quantities and a wide variety; nearly every type of high-grade metal could be found there.

However, most of them were merely high-grade metals. There were no metals suited for making a Third Level Soul Tool, or there would have been no need to have someone prepare them.

"I had three sets of materials prepared. That means you have three chances," Xu Lin said, allowing Yun Ze room for mistakes.

Yun Ze merely smiled at that and looked toward Gu Yue Na, who took out a silver-white carving knife and handed it to him.

Seeing this, Xu Lin could not help asking, "Don't you have your own carving knife?"

Most Soul Tool Creators had their own carving knives. Only a knife they were accustomed to using could better inscribe formation arrays.

"No. This is actually my first time making a Soul Tool," Yun Ze answered naturally. After organizing the materials, he began inscribing the formation arrays.

These materials had already been processed and needed no further polishing. He only needed to inscribe the formation arrays before assembling them in the end.

When crafting a Soul Tool, inscribing the formation arrays was the crucial step. That was what Xu Lin wanted to see, which was why he had directly asked for polished metal to be prepared.

"His first time making a Soul Tool?" Xu Lin froze, staring at Yun Ze with uncertainty and disbelief.

He remained silent, watching Yun Ze's hands intently without blinking, as though afraid of missing a single step.

Gu Yue Na watched with great interest as well, though she felt somewhat nervous. Could he really succeed on his first attempt?

This brat has to be lying to me. How could someone making a Soul Tool for the first time have such practiced technique? Xu Lin fumed inwardly.

Not only were Yun Ze's movements far from clumsy, they were exceptionally seasoned. His force was precise, and every line was carved in one smooth motion without the slightest pause.

The starting points, paths, and endpoints of the formation lines were all chosen with extreme accuracy—one could even call them perfect. Even Xu Lin could not find a single flaw.

This kid really is a genius! Shock appeared on Xu Lin's face, along with excitement he could not conceal.

An expert only needed to see someone make a move to know their true skill. As a Ninth Level Soul Tool Creator, Xu Lin had watched for less than two minutes before realizing that Yun Ze was a once-in-a-generation genius.

His technique and understanding of formation arrays—how could they belong to a six-year-old child? He was clearly like an old man who had spent decades studying Soul Tools.

To possess such mature formation-inscribing techniques at barely six years old—the implication was obvious. This child's talent for Soul Tools was outrageously high.

Xu Lin grew more astonished the longer he watched. Half an hour later, his mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg, his stunned expression nearly blank.

A Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun had twenty-three components: four primary components and nineteen secondary components.

The secondary components were relatively easier to inscribe. They only required twenty to thirty secondary formation arrays, and connecting and merging them was simple enough.

However, the formation arrays on the primary components were much more difficult to inscribe. This was the true challenge in crafting a Soul Tool.

Every third-level primary component required two core formation arrays and ten to thirty secondary formation arrays. The core formation arrays conflicted with one another, and resolving those conflicts to make them into a unified whole was the key to inscription—and the greatest test of a Soul Tool Creator's ability.

Yun Ze had begun with the primary components. Over the past half hour, he had already completed one of them.

The second primary component was nearly halfway through its formation inscription, and he had once again reached the crucial stage of inscribing and merging the core formation arrays.

Xu Lin widened his eyes and moved closer, standing at a distance where he could observe clearly without affecting Yun Ze.

Yun Ze's handling of the conflicts between the core formation arrays left him in awe. Not only had he resolved the conflict, he had also made the arrays more closely connected, allowing them to enhance one another.

"He improved the formation arrays!" Xu Lin was greatly alarmed and nearly cried out. He had merely suspected it before, but after watching again, he reached a definite conclusion.

Yun Ze truly had improved the formation arrays, making the two third-level arrays more complex and more profound. They were even harder to inscribe than ordinary fourth-level formation arrays.

Though the finished product had yet to be made, he could already state with certainty that its power would absolutely surpass that of an ordinary Third Level Soul Guidance Ray Gun.

This Soul Tool could not even be considered a Third Level Soul Tool anymore. It could be classified as a Fourth Level Soul Tool.

After all, the core formation arrays that formed this Soul Tool were comparable to fourth-level formation arrays! Having reached this conclusion, Xu Lin's gaze at Yun Ze became increasingly fervent. Yun Ze's talent for Soul Tools had surpassed his imagination.

Time passed bit by bit. After completing the third primary component, Yun Ze temporarily stopped to rest.

Although his Soul Power was far more abundant than that of an ordinary soul master, he was ultimately only level twenty-one, and the total amount was still somewhat limited.

Moreover, he had been inscribing third-level formation arrays meant for a Soul Elder. Continuously inscribing three primary components was already his limit. His Soul Power was now nearly depleted and needed time to recover.

Gu Yue Na took out the Soul Guidance Milk Bottle she had prepared beforehand and handed it to Yun Ze. He accepted it and used it to rapidly restore his Soul Power.

"Yun Ze, did you improve this formation array yourself?" Xu Lin asked, holding the completed primary component.

His fingers traced the component as he carefully felt the patterns of those formation arrays, as though caressing a priceless treasure that he could not bear to put down.

"Yes. While reading, I felt that these formation arrays might work better if they were inscribed this way, so I tried doing it like this," Yun Ze said.

Other than combat, what Yun Ze excelled at most was Pill Refining. In the Immortal Realm, he had been one of the three greatest pill refiners.

However, Pill Refining was not all he knew. He had also dabbled in formation arrays, Artifact Forging, and other fields, though he was not as proficient in them as he was in Pill Refining.

Yet his lack of proficiency was only relative. He could not compare to the absolute top formation masters and artifact forgers, but he was still vastly superior to everyone else.

After all, he had the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor to support him, exceptional comprehension, and the accumulation of several eras. No matter how poor he was at it, how poor could he possibly be? These formation arrays were merely a minor branch of formation arts and rather crude, making them very easy to modify.

His improvements to these third-level formation arrays had been an impromptu effort. If he had not needed to consider his Soul Power, he would have made them even more complete.

"You had never personally inscribed them before? You simply thought in your mind that they could be improved, and then you improved them?" Xu Lin asked, dumbfounded.

"Yes." Yun Ze nodded.

"This..." Xu Lin felt his throat go dry. He could not speak, nor did he know what to say.

Stormy waves churned in his heart, crashing hundreds of feet high. His heartbeat was much faster than usual, and he could not calm himself.

"Student Gu Yue Na, is Yun Ze a god's descendant?" Xu Lin asked the question as if possessed.

"Why would you ask that, Principal?" Gu Yue Na said with feigned surprise, though inwardly she found it amusing. He was no god's descendant—he was a god himself.

Still, now that she thought about it, Yun Ze was so formidable that his bloodline and background should be equally extraordinary. Calling him a god's descendant would not be wrong.
