At that moment, the residents of Spirit City gathered around the square were drawn to Yan's actions:
"Heavens! What is that kid doing?!"
"Is he smashing a rock? Is he so excited to see the sacred painting? But that's no excuse to smash rocks at random! Where's the Spirit Hall Knight Order? Hurry up and arrest that kid for destroying the square's ornamental rocks!!"
At first, Yan's actions had provoked public outrage.
But when Yan brought his fists, as hard as granite after his Flame Lord possession, down on that stubborn rock punch after punch.
Everyone's expressions changed, for they realized that this kid was actually carving a statue of His Highness the Holy Son?!
"Gasp! He isn't just smashing a rock? He's actually carving a statue of the Holy Son?!!"
"Oooooh! I misjudged this kid just now. He's a devout believer in the Holy Son too!"
And when Qian Renxing rode his tricycle into the crowd in a silky-smooth drift, he arrived just in time to see Yan finish carving the Holy Son's statue.
"Oooooh! It's finished!!"
Tears filled Yan's eyes as he gazed in utter excitement at the statue of the Holy Son he had carved punch by punch. It depicted the very moment His Highness the Holy Son had ridden his tricycle into him and sent him flying.
With a bang, Yan was sent flying again.
It was simply because Qian Renxing had failed to brake properly during his silky-smooth drift, and Yan happened to be standing there like an idiot, so he had accidentally used him as a brake pad.
"Woohoo! Behold Qian Renxing's dazzling entrance!"
After hitting someone, the tricycle exploded into stardust with a bang, while Qian Renxing flipped through the air and landed with incomparable style.
"Huh? It feels like I hit something?!"
Qian Renxing was puzzled, and the sensation beneath his feet was strange too. Looking down, he discovered that the person he was standing on was none other than Yan, who had just been released from prison. He immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Ehe, it's you again. I'm really sorry. I didn't do it on purpose~"
"No, Your Highness, that was a wonderful collision!!"
With tears in his eyes, Yan looked at His Highness the Holy Son in utter excitement. "I know. You didn't do it by accident. You were deliberately trying to knock some sense into me! I was ignorant and foolish before. I didn't know the Holy Son was deliberately trying to knock me awake. I didn't know your collision contained such profound meaning!"
"The moment you crashed into me was nothing short of a holy miracle! Sacred, so sacred!"
"No, no, no, no! My dimwitted grandson really did just knock you flying by accident! There was no profound meaning whatsoever! Don't misunderstand my grandson's intentions like that wicked brat Xie Yue!!"
Qian Daoliu was numb. He had thought this young man who dared to curse his grandson might be a loyal, upright fellow who spoke without reservation, but now he looked like nothing more than a treacherous villain exactly like Xie Yue!
He panicked. "Was this how you repaid me for getting you out of Spirit Hall's prison? You brainless brat! You got hit, so you got hit. Give the Holy Son some proper advice and tell him not to go careening around everywhere! You're singing his praises even after he hit you. Do you have even a shred of a man's backbone?!"
"Great Enshrined, I'm very grateful that you spoke up for me, but I have convictions of my own! You don't understand His Highness the Holy Son's profound meaning at all. You have no idea what His Highness shouldered to knock an ignorant fool like me awake! You don't understand anything!"
Yan excitedly refuted Qian Daoliu's words, then began introducing the sacred statue he had carved with tears in his eyes. "Your Highness, look! This is the statue of the Holy Son I carved for you-Holy Son's Collision. It signifies using a tricycle to knock the ignorant people of the world awake!!"
"Now I have attained enlightenment. Even if Your Highness crashes into me another ten thousand times, I won't utter a single complaint. Instead, I'll feel no resentment or regret, only boundless excitement! This is nothing short of an honor. To think an ignorant fool like me, who once misunderstood you, could still receive a collision from you in person! I'm simply too fortunate!!"
"Oho! It looks like you've grasped my profound meaning!"
Qian Renxing was delighted to see Yan's carving of the moment he had ridden his tricycle into him. He had never expected Yan's sculpture to carry a measure of sacredness too. He was simply a genius just like Xie Yue!
He was immediately very pleased. "Sacred, so sacred! Yan, I never imagined you had such artistic talent. The sacred statue you carved is simply a work of art of the highest caliber. It can even stand alongside Xie Yue's sacred painting!"
"Forgiving you and getting you out of Spirit Hall's prison was simply one of the best decisions I've ever made. From now on, you're my left hand, my captain of the guards, standing alongside Xie Yue!"
"I hope you'll maintain this vigorous creative drive and carve even more sacred statues!"
"Oooooh! Your Highness, I will believe in you forever!!"
After Qian Renxing's encouragement, Yan's creative drive swelled rapidly.
On top of that, His Highness the Holy Son had just crashed into him again, practically knocking an explosion of inspiration out of him and sending him into a wondrous state once more.
"Oooooh! It's back! That feeling is back! I'm going to create another sacred statue that will endure through the ages!"
Yan immediately ran toward another stubborn rock in excitement.
Recalling the moment His Highness the Holy Son had just ridden his tricycle into him and sent him flying, he pounded it punch by punch with his fists, as hard as granite after his Flame Lord possession.
In mere moments, another Holy Son's Collision statue appeared. It differed from the previous Holy Son's Collision statue, but there was no doubt that the sacredness it held was even richer!
"Holy Son's Collision! It's actually another Holy Son's Collision!!"
The surrounding spectators from Spirit City immediately exclaimed in wonder. "We originally thought Xie Yue was an unprecedented genius for carving a sacred painting. Who knew this man could carve two sacred statues in mere moments, each containing even richer sacredness than the last!!"
"So that's it! His Highness the Holy Son isn't just crashing into people at random on his tricycle. He's knocking the ignorant people of the world awake! Sacred, so sacred!"
"I'm so jealous of that brat for enjoying such favor from His Highness. His Highness actually knocked him awake twice in a row!"
"No, no, no, no! Wait! Why do you believe it too? That brat got knocked senseless and is spouting nonsense! Don't believe his rubbish!"
Qian Daoliu could no longer keep his composure. He could not understand why these people of Spirit City had immediately believed it, much less how Yan's mind worked.
He hurriedly said in agitation, "My grandson is a dimwit! It's perfectly normal for a dimwit riding a tricycle to hit someone by accident, but he's still in the wrong! Don't make excuses for him!"
"Oh, oh! Yan, you're simply a true genius!"
Seeing Yan carve another sacred statue in mere moments, Qian Renxing immediately looked at him in excitement. Talent like this was simply too rare.
Yan's sacred statues and Xie Yue's sacred paintings were truly like evenly matched chess players, like a general meeting a worthy opponent!
And gaining Yan and Xie Yue was like giving a tiger wings! With this Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix, why worry about failing to accomplish great things?!
Inspiration immediately exploded within him. "Oho! I've got inspiration again! I'm going to manifest a holy miracle! I'm going to become the true God of Shit and Piss!!"
