Chapter 33: The Fisherman Profits?

Besides Gu Yue Na, there were two other people at the scene watching Huo Yuhao's operation.

Mecha Master Association President Li Yucheng and Vice President Xia Haoxuan.

After experiencing Huo Yuhao's several talent bombardments, Li Yucheng indicated that he could already watch this scene calmly, but the person beside him obviously could not.

Xia Haoxuan watched Huo Yuhao lightly tap on the rare metal, his fingers agile as if flying, instantly completing a three-arc cut, precise as if measured by a ruler, and marveled in his heart, the desire to recruit talent already arising.

Such precise movements, such a state of body and mind as one, many of the Eight-level Makers he had seen could not achieve it; only Makers accustomed to manufacturing Nine-level Soul Tools could freely enter that realm.

A prodigy, simply a prodigy!

Such a disciple is absolutely what all Makers who wish to pass on their legacy dream of.

After observing Huo Yuhao's flowing, seemingly tempered array-engraving movements for a while longer, Xia Haoxuan couldn't help but say:

"President, you're already old, your energy is insufficient now, why not let me teach Huo Yuhao instead."

"Although I can't compare to you, I have more ample time and more vigorous energy, with more time to instruct him."

"Go on, go on, wishful thinking!" Li Yucheng waved his hand, looking impatient, "You still want to snatch my student? Teach your own disciple well."

Xia Haoxuan said dissatisfied: "President, you can't be this selfish, he was discovered by me first, you have to handle Association affairs every day, where would you find time to teach a disciple, we should swap, you continue handling affairs, I'll do it!"

"He belongs to the Spirit Pagoda, and I already plan to introduce him to Headquarters, don't think too much." Li Yucheng blocked Xia Haoxuan's mouth with one sentence, "Anything else you want to say?"

"... You're ruthless." Xia Haoxuan looked at Huo Yuhao with regret, turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing this, Li Yucheng refocused his attention on Huo Yuhao, and when Huo Yuhao finished engraving the Soul Guidance Array on the metal, walked over with a face full of smiles, and inspected the work.

"Not bad, the Energy Conversion Soul Guidance Array I taught you before you've already completely mastered, but here, and here, can be improved a bit, to make the Soul Guidance Array connections even more perfect."

Li Yucheng pointed at two spots on the rare metal, and said smiling to Huo Yuhao: "Of course, these are all minor issues..."

Gu Yue Na watched Huo Yuhao's humble appearance of seeking advice and listening quietly, inexplicably feeling a sense that she shouldn't be here.

Designers and Makers overlap on many knowledge points, but what the two are saying now... she couldn't understand.

A youth in his teens was looking for someone in the Association Hall, saw Xia Haoxuan come out of a room, his eyes lit up, rapidly walked to his front, and asked:

"Teacher, I'm going to test for Three-level Maker, do you have time to serve as examiner?"

Xia Haoxuan raised his head to glance at him, interest not high, "Three-level? How old are you and only Three-level, look at other people's kids..."

The youth looked at Xia Haoxuan with a blank face, not understanding where he had gone wrong, being nagged at by his own teacher.

Thinking back to those days, he was also someone else's prodigy...

Xia Haoxuan vented for a while, still feeling he had lost out.

Huo Yuhao was discovered by him first, when the other came to test for Two-level Maker, he was the examiner.

It's just that Huo Yuhao came from the Spirit Pagoda, originally thinking the other wouldn't join the Mecha Master Association. So following past convention, he reported the other's information to the President, didn't expect the final result to be like this.

If he had directly accepted him back then, then...

"No, the more I think the more I lose out, why should the President get a peerless genius for free just by making a trip to the Spirit Pagoda without doing anything."

Thinking left and right, Xia Haoxuan decided on a roundabout strategy, took out his Soul Guide Communication Device.

"Knowing you, you're probably still hoping to take Huo Yuhao to Headquarters to show off later? You shouldn't have reported Huo Yuhao's existence to Headquarters yet... then I won't be polite."

When the other side answered the call, Xia Haoxuan instantly revealed a smile, "Hello, is this Teacher? I've discovered a... in the East Sea."

Li Yucheng was guiding Huo Yuhao in engraving the Soul Guidance Array, when suddenly he heard the Soul Guide Communication Device ring, took it out to look, said sorry to Huo Yuhao, turned and left the room.

When he finished the call and returned, seeing the situation in the room, his face instantly darkened.

Guard against a thousand, guard against ten thousand, hard to guard against a thief from within, he had been negligent after all.

Good for you Xia Haoxuan, you want to be given the cold shoulder? You just wait!

"Yuhao, you are the person with the highest talent in Soul Tools I've seen in this life, my Teacher is a Nine-level Maker at the Mecha Master Association Headquarters, he heard your news and is very interested in you, how about it, interested in becoming my martial-uncle?"

"And the female student here, you became a Three-level Designer at such a young age, your future is equally boundless, I can introduce a suitable teacher for you."

Xia Haoxuan said with a beaming smile.

Recruiting just one person, how could it be as good as recruiting two geniuses together?

As for the two coming from the Spirit Pagoda?

No matter, their Mecha Master Association still has Body Sect people!

"Vice President Xia, you overpraise. Without Elder guidance, I couldn't have reached my current step."

"Sigh, being too modest makes one seem insincere, how long has the President taught you? He's old, has no time to teach you, it's not easy for him to spare some time every day. How about this, you study with me first, later I'll take you to Headquarters to meet my Teacher."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Li Yucheng behind Xia Haoxuan emitting black qi, his brows and eyes twitching.

This isn't a matter of modesty or not, Your Excellency if you keep talking, I'm afraid after tonight, the East Sea will have one more floating corpse.

Xia Haoxuan actually also sensed the newcomer, but he is a person who "does not fear the powerful", directly took out a Storage Ring, handed it to Huo Yuhao, "Inside are some rare metals, a gift I prepared for you."

Li Yucheng took a deep breath, felt he couldn't watch anymore, thought for a moment, also took out a pass and a Small Soul Guidance Device from his own Storage Ring, and handed them to Huo Yuhao.

"With this pass, you can go to most rooms in the Association, including the third-floor Storage Room that stores design drawings and ideas."

This pass he had prepared long ago, Huo Yuhao's self-study and self-discipline abilities were quite good, he himself indeed didn't have much time, might as well let go a bit and let the other self-study.

Thinking this, Li Yucheng and Xia Haoxuan gazed at each other, then tacitly moved their gazes away.

Although no communication took place, they both understood, Huo Yuhao is a Spirit Pagoda person, to make him develop a sense of belonging to the Mecha Master Association, they must take advantage of his young age and recruit him with all their might.

'However, this isn't a reason for you to call your Teacher behind my back! Small shoes, you wear them well, Xia Haoxuan!' Li Yucheng thought expressionlessly.

Huo Yuhao looked at the things before him, face strange.

This counts as... the snipe and clam struggle, the fisherman profits?
