Level-Five Mecha Designer Under Six Years Old

"Knock, knock—"

"Xiao Yuan, are you still busy?"

Mo Qingfeng stood before the tightly closed door and asked in a low voice.

But he received no response for a long time. Helpless, he could only turn to look at his wife, Lin Zhiwei.

Lin Zhiwei met her husband's gaze and helplessly shook her head. "Why are you looking at me? You know what Xiao Yuan is like. He probably stayed up late researching again. He might not have slept at all. Wouldn't it be fine to wait until he finishes what he's working on?"

"That may be true, but there has to be a limit, right? Today is the important day of Martial Soul awakening!" Mo Qingfeng wore a helpless expression.

"Oh, it's just Martial Soul awakening. If it's delayed, then so be it. It's not as if we can't afford to hire a Spirit Pagoda Soul Master..."

"Click—"

Before Lin Zhiwei could finish speaking, the door in front of her suddenly opened.

"Yaaawn—"

A handsome black-haired boy walked out, yawning.

Although there were faint dark circles beneath his eyes, they did nothing to diminish his handsomeness. On the contrary, they seemed almost like an ornament, giving him the air of an otherworldly master. Combined with his calm, unruffled gaze, he seemed to overwhelm people with his intelligence at a glance.

"Xiao Yuan, you're finally done!"

Mo Yuan nodded expressionlessly. "Yes. I originally thought the Soul-Guided power modification schematics for this Purple-Grade Mecha would take a lot of time, but it seems I overestimated its difficulty."

Hiss...

Mo Qingfeng wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. He couldn't understand a word of what Mo Yuan was saying anymore. As his father, it was truly crushing.

But who could blame him? Mo Yuan, the child they had picked up from the street, was an intellectual monster with extraordinary intelligence.

He hadn't even awakened his Martial Soul yet, but he was already a Level-Five Mecha Designer. How were those people who had only broken through after reaching an advanced age supposed to live with that?

That's right. Mo Yuan wasn't actually the biological son of Mo Qingfeng and Lin Zhiwei. Instead, the couple had adopted him from an orphanage in Aolai City.

Because of certain special circumstances, the two of them couldn't have children, so they decided to adopt one.

As soon as they entered the orphanage, they saw two-year-old Mo Yuan crouched in a corner, writing and drawing complex Soul Tool Core Arrays. He stood in stark contrast to the other children, who only knew how to play.

They adopted him without hesitation.

As it turned out, their judgment had been correct. Mo Yuan truly was a prodigy.

As the principal of Red Mountain Academy, Mo Qingfeng naturally knew that the academy had a vast collection of books. Although most of them were useless, Mo Yuan had memorized every single one within a year. He had only been three years old at the time, yet he could already recite those books backward and forward.

After that, he took an interest in Soul-Guided Technology and began studying it on his own. Then, after only half a month, he took the Mecha Designer examination and passed on the spot.

After another six months, he had already passed the Level-Three Mecha Designer examination. The president of the Aolai City Mecha Engineer Association was astonished by his talent and planned to take Mo Yuan as his disciple, but Mo Yuan flatly refused. His reason was that the other man's intelligence was too low and he couldn't teach him anything.

Sure enough, when Mo Yuan was five and a half years old, he successfully passed the Level-Five Mecha Designer examination.

The president was rendered speechless. After all, he was only a Level-Five Mecha Designer himself.

Yet he was already fifty years old. Compared with Mo Yuan, it seemed that all those decades of his life had been wasted.

"By the way, Dad, did you say today is the day for Martial Soul awakening?" Mo Yuan suddenly asked.

"That's right. The Spirit Pagoda has probably already formed a long line by now, hasn't it?" Mo Qingfeng replied.

"It's finally here..." Mo Yuan nodded at that, and for once, anticipation rose in his heart.

Time had flown by since his transmigration. Before he knew it, six years had already passed...

That's right. Mo Yuan wasn't actually from this world. He had transmigrated here.

He had originally been an ordinary wage earner, but one night, while reading a novel, he transmigrated into Douluo Continent.

Of course, he had read that novel before.

He had transmigrated into the body of an orphan, only to discover that his memory had somehow become exceptionally good and his intelligence was also remarkably high. He could memorize the books in the orphanage after reading them only once. Even with some basic science books, he could use the knowledge they explained to deduce more advanced concepts.

After being adopted, he successfully used Mo Qingfeng's identity to begin studying Soul-Guided Technology, and his progress was astonishingly fast.

Gradually, he stopped looking forward to what kind of Martial Soul he might awaken. After all, he was confident that even with a mediocre Martial Soul, he could still make a name for himself with his technological expertise.

But when the day of his Martial Soul awakening truly arrived, Mo Yuan still couldn't help feeling somewhat nervous.

"I wonder what kind of Martial Soul I'll awaken?"

His father, Mo Qingfeng, was a Level-Forty-Five Assault-type Battle Soul Ancestor whose Martial Soul was the Azure Edge Sword.

His mother, Lin Zhiwei, was a Level-Thirty-Eight Healing-type Tool Soul Elder whose Martial Soul was the Healing Scepter.

However, they were only his adoptive parents. What kind of Martial Soul he could awaken would ultimately depend on luck.

Still, as long as he had Soul Power, that would be enough. Even if he only had half a level of Soul Power, Mo Yuan was confident he wouldn't become someone like Gangzi, a "peerless genius" who could successfully break through to Level Fifty at the age of thirty.

When she saw that Mo Yuan had fallen silent again, Lin Zhiwei knew he had entered a thinking state once more, so she gently patted her son's shoulder.

"All right. Since you're done too, let's hurry over. It wouldn't be appropriate to keep the Soul Master waiting for so long."

Given their family's status, they naturally didn't need to line up with ordinary people at an awakening center and wait for a Spirit Pagoda Soul Master to awaken their Martial Souls for free. Instead, Mo Qingfeng had contacted the Spirit Pagoda in advance. Once the day of the awakening arrived, they could go directly to the Spirit Pagoda and have a specialist handle it.

Red Mountain Academy actually handled Martial Soul awakenings itself, but from a metaphysical perspective, Mo Qingfeng had still chosen the Spirit Pagoda.

"Then let's go."

Mo Yuan nodded and followed Mo Qingfeng and Lin Zhiwei outside.

Yet even as he walked, his mind never stopped working.

"If I remember correctly, Tang Wulin should be awakening his Martial Soul today too. I wonder if we'll run into that protagonist on the way back?"

Since he had transmigrated, he naturally had to take a look at the protagonist of the original novel.

As for why he knew Tang Wulin existed, and even knew that Tang Wulin was the same age as him?

Of course, he had "looked" him up openly.

After all, accessing the Administrative Headquarters' database for Aolai City was as easy for Mo Yuan as entering his own home.

When he took an interest, he casually slipped into the database one night and retrieved the household registration files. He then spent a whole day organizing the information, ultimately finding a file for someone named Tang Wulin.

He looked into it further, and sure enough, the information associated with that household registration clearly listed his father as Tang Ziran and his mother as Lang Yue.

Mo Yuan was one hundred percent certain that this was Tang Wulin, the protagonist of Legend of the Dragon King, as well as the son of the Sea God and the person with the Golden Dragon King sealed inside his body.
