Could He Actually Be the Son of a God?

"I suggest using a hollow, lightweight structure for the left arm joint's transmission rod."

"Slightly fine-tuning the angle of the right leg's energy input end by three degrees can enhance energy conduction efficiency, Pom..."

AI Pom-Pom's voice kept sounding, and Chen Xing's hands did not pause at all.

Time ticked away second by second.

The hall was so quiet that only the rustle of pen tips gliding across paper remained.

Everyone held their breath.

Watching Chen Xing's movements.

Fifteen minutes later.

When Chen Xing put down his pen,

a wave of golden light rose directly from the surface of the paper.

The next second, with a single thud,

under the shocked gazes of the crowd,

a White-Class Combat Mecha standing over three meters tall appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall.

The entire hall erupted in an instant:

"Holy shit! He... he actually made it?!"

"Creation out of thin air? What kind of ability is this?!"

"Fifteen minutes! A complete White-Class Combat Mecha?! Fifteen minutes, holy shit, and he doesn't even have soul power!"

They discussed it among themselves, only to hear some shout loudly:

"Fake, it must be fake. How could a wet-behind-the-ears kid make a mecha?"

"Right, he must have used some trick. We suggest a strict investigation!"

Yet few Mecha Engineers bothered with their words, simply because they could tell at a glance just how real the mecha Chen Xing had created via Imagenesis was.

Mu Xi widened her eyes and covered her mouth in disbelief.

Right in front of fifty or sixty people, in fifteen minutes,

could he really just draw a real mecha directly?

This undoubtedly shocked her.

Zhen Hua also walked up to the mecha and walked around it once.

Everyone present stared at his movements.

A moment later, they heard him call out:

"Good."

Just this single word.

Stirred up a huge commotion.

Even the awesome Divine Craftsman praised it,

so this kid really had some genuine skills this time.

However, Chen Xing did not notice the reactions of the people around him at the moment,

because he felt that the Wish Power within his body had risen by another notch.

He clenched his fists, feeling a burst of exhilaration in his heart.

Sure enough, every time he performed Imagenesis on something new, his Wish Power would increase.

It seemed his choice of the path of mechas was the right one.

Chen Xing came back to his senses and immediately discovered that everyone present was looking at him with astonished expressions.

What happened?

Oh right, he seemed to have "deliberately and carelessly" acted cool for a bit.

Then it was fine.

Though Zhen Hua should be asking him questions now.

Sure enough, the next moment, Chen Xing heard Zhen Hua ask:

"Little fellow, how on earth did you manage to create a mecha just by drawing a picture? Can you tell me now?"

Chen Xing nodded, and under the curious and expectant gazes of Zhen Hua and the crowd, he explained his Imagenesis ability.

Yet he did not tell the whole story, merely selecting what could be explained; as for a special setting like Wish Power, Chen Xing had no intention of letting so many people know about it.

Upon listening to Chen Xing's explanation of his Martial Soul, not a single person present failed to think of one possibility.

A Mutated Martial Soul.

That was right, they believed that Chen Xing's Martial Soul must have undergone some extremely special mutation, which was why he could use his Martial Soul's abilities without needing soul power.

Being so special, no wonder he caught Zhen Hua's eye.

Zhen Hua looked at Chen Xing, pondered for a moment, and then turned around to face everyone in the hall:

"Starting today, I, Zhen Hua, officially take Chen Xing as my student. Let it be known."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted once again.

"The guild master actually accepted him!"

"My god, a child with zero soul power became a Divine Craftsman's student? Who would believe this if word got out?"

"Right, I saw it with my own eyes and still find it a bit hard to believe, but you have to believe it even if you don't!"

"This kid is probably going to soar into the skies."

Looking at the envious or puzzled gazes of everyone present, Chen Xing also felt a surge of joy in his heart.

The plan succeeded.

With Zhen Hua's guidance, he could accumulate Wish Power faster and thus grow stronger more quickly.

Though the threat of the Holy Spirit Cult still hung over his head, he felt he was one step closer to his goal of building the Starblazer and starting the train.

"Come with me to the inner room. I have something to tell you."

Hearing Zhen Hua's words, Chen Xing nodded and lifted his feet to follow.

Mu Xi also hurried along behind them, turning back just before leaving to glance at the White-Class Mecha still standing in the center of the hall, muttering quietly:

"He really is a monster..."

After the three of them left, the hall became noisy again.

Amidst this noise, several people looked deeply in the direction where Chen Xing had departed.

"Notify the Pagoda Master. A genius has appeared in Aolai City. Should we take action?"

"This kid is truly an anomaly. I wonder what the senior elders will make of this?"

"Is it confirmed? Can this person be offered to the Cult Master?"

Zhen Hua's room was much quieter than outside.

Zhen Hua sat in a chair, tapping his fingers gently on the tabletop.

Chen Xing stood quietly in front of him, waiting for him to speak.

"You said in the hall that your ability is called Imagenesis?"

"Yet I always feel you left things unsaid."

Chen Xing was slightly startled upon hearing this, but immediately understood.

Zhen Hua himself was a sharp and observant person, or he would never have become a Divine Craftsman.

However, as far as Zhen Hua was concerned, Chen Xing felt there was nothing much to hide, so he stated it directly.

"Wish Power. My Imagenesis requires consuming something called Wish Power."

"Wish Power?"

Hearing this, Zhen Hua frowned.

He had already sent people to investigate Chen Xing's background last night:

Chen Xing was not the biological child of Tang Ziran and Lang Yue.

Like Tang Wulin, he was a child they had adopted.

As for Chen Xing's origins before being adopted, it remained a mystery.

Thinking of this, Zhen Hua stopped pacing, turned back to look at Chen Xing:

"This power of yours does not belong to the soul power system. I've lived for so many years and have never seen such a thing."

Chen Xing did not answer, nor could he easily explain the origin of this Wish Power.

Zhen Hua's gaze toward Chen Xing gradually grew complex.

"Wish Power... in the legends of the Divine Realm, there is a kind of power called Faith Power."

Hearing this, Chen Xing was momentarily stunned.

Was Zhen Hua imagining him to be someone from the Divine Realm?

If he were a divine son of the Divine Realm, he could congratulate himself on having a God King for a father.

Imagenesis and Wish Power were far higher-tier than that so-called Faith Power.

Chen Xing's thoughts turned rapidly, so he intentionally constricted his pupils.

Zhen Hua noticed this detail.

Thus, his inner conjecture about Chen Xing grew a fraction stronger.

This kid might unexpectedly be the divine son of some deity who had descended from that Divine Realm which had been missing for many years.

Having no soul power, using Wish Power distinct from soul power, and possessing such heaven-defying comprehension.

This was simply not something an ordinary family's child should have.

Yet Zhen Hua did not voice these thoughts.

He simply sat back down in his chair and changed the subject:

"No matter where this power of yours came from, since you are going to learn from me, I have three conditions."

Chen Xing nodded: "Please go ahead."

"First..."
