I Had Zero Soul Power, and a Master Noticed Me

"Zero Soul Power?"

The middle-aged man paused.

A child with Zero Soul Power said he wanted to build a White-Class Mecha?

Was it childish bravado, or could he really do it?

Interesting. Let me take a look.

The girl came over too, tilting her head to peer into the shop.

Inside, Wang Dagou and Xu San were busy attending to two Level One Mecha Engineers who had just arrived.

The two Mecha Engineers had come to get a Mecha repaired.

But when they heard Chen Xing, they both frowned.

One of them scoffed and muttered to the other,

"Has that kid lost his mind? He thinks he can build a White-Class Mecha with Zero Soul Power? What a joke."

The man beside him shook his head too.

"Exactly. Kids these days have no idea what they're getting into."

They weren't speaking loudly, but Chen Xing heard every word.

He paid no attention to their remarks.

His eyes remained fixed on the blueprint.

"Pam Pam, if I try to create this White-Class Mecha with Illusory Creation right now, do I have enough Wish Power?"

"More than enough, pam. Your current Wish Power is strong enough to create an ordinary White-Class Mecha."

Chen Xing took a deep breath and looked up at Tang Ziran.

"Dad, I want to try it now."

Tang Ziran froze.

"Now? But you've only just learned the structure. You haven't even—"

"I think I can do it."

Chen Xing cut him off.

Tang Ziran looked into his son's determined eyes. After a few seconds' hesitation, he nodded.

"All right. Give it a try."

Na'er had been standing quietly beside Chen Xing. At those words, she immediately looked up.

She stepped back twice to give Chen Xing plenty of room.

Brother Chen Xing is going to build a Mecha!

What will it look like?

Wang Dagou and Xu San forgot all about attending to the two Mecha Engineers.

They both turned to stare.

The two Mecha Engineers stopped talking as well. Folding their arms, they watched Chen Xing.

They wanted to see reality put the boy in his place.

Chen Xing ignored everyone's stares.

He closed his eyes and focused, running through the White-Class Mecha blueprint he had just studied from beginning to end.

A moment later, his eyes snapped open.

The tip of his pen flew across the paper.

Everyone present held their breath.

They watched Chen Xing's movements intently.

Before long, their eyes widened.

Chen Xing's hand moved faster and faster.

The shape of a Mecha gradually took form on the paper.

Outside the shop,

the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows sharply.

The girl stared in surprise too.

Could this little kid actually do it?

A dozen or so seconds later,

a golden light flashed.

Thud! A complete White-Class Mecha, a full three meters tall, landed on the floor.

The entire shop fell deathly silent.

Tang Ziran stood stunned.

Wang Dagou nearly lost his footing.

Xu San rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

Na'er let out a soft "Ah!" and covered her mouth with both hands. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Xing.

Brother Chen Xing really made it!

Brother Chen Xing is amazing!

The two Mecha Engineers' jaws dropped.

It took them ages to force out a single response.

"What... the hell..."

The sight before them went far beyond anything they understood the word "genius" to mean.

It felt as though their entire understanding of the world had been torn down and rebuilt.

Outside the shop, the middle-aged man drew a deep breath. A fervent gleam flashed in his eyes.

The girl cried out in astonishment.

"Oh my goodness! He really made it!"

Chen Xing had no attention to spare for anyone's reaction.

He felt a warm current flow into his body, and his Wish Power surged.

Ah~

That feels incredible.

It's like stepping into a warm cave.

Did it work?

Tang Ziran finally came to his senses and hurried over to the Mecha.

The metal felt utterly real beneath his fingers.

"It's real..."

Tang Ziran's voice trembled.

"Little Chen, you really made it!"

Chen Xing was delighted to have created the White-Class Mecha too.

"Dad, I told you I could do it."

Tang Ziran looked at him intently. His lips quivered for a long while before he finally managed to say,

"That's my boy!"

Wang Dagou came over and circled the Mecha twice, clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Little Godfather, what you can do is beyond ridiculous. It's ridiculous through and through."

Xu San nodded emphatically beside him.

Curious, Na'er came forward and cautiously poked the Mecha with one finger.

So this is a Mecha?

Na'er looked at Chen Xing. "Brother, can you pilot the Mecha?"

Chen Xing nodded.

"Of course. Want me to take you for a ride, Na'er?"

Delight flashed in Na'er's eyes.

"Yes!"

Chen Xing took Na'er's small hand and was about to lead her into the Mecha's cockpit.

Just then, a voice came from the shop entrance.

"Wait a moment, little one."

Chen Xing frowned.

He turned to see a middle-aged man striding into the shop, followed by a blonde girl with a ponytail.

The man's gaze held a fervor he could not quite hide.

Chen Xing immediately grew wary.

Who the hell is this guy?

The middle-aged man soon reached him.

Then Chen Xing saw him bend down slightly and ask with genuine earnestness,

"Little one, what was that ability you just used? Could you tell me?"

Chen Xing grew even more wary. Holding Na'er's hand, he took half a step back.

"Who are you?"

Only then did the middle-aged man realize how abrupt he had been.

He straightened up and cleared his throat.

"Sorry. I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Zhen Hua."
