Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? Chapter 78 - Defense Test, Three Big Shots Dig a Hole for Wu Mo!

Chapter 78: Defense Test, Three Big Shots Dig a Hole for Wu Mo!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two five-star cultivators worked together to draw the array, and the hole in the wall was finally repaired.

The hall was once again brightly lit.

Many students were unable to adapt to the glare, and they closed their eyes.

Everything returned to normal, and the test that had been temporarily paused began once again. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Wu Mo had ample time to rest. He closed his eyes and lay back in the resting area, preparing for actual combat.

He did not expect the Divine Arms Academy’s princ.i.p.al and the mayor to send people to make arrangements for him to dig a hole.

On the other side, Jiang Mengyao scored just a little over the pa.s.sing mark and pa.s.sed the specificity test with a score of six points.

Her scores for three rounds of a.s.sessment were six points for durability, eight points for agility, and six points for specificity. Her total score of twenty points was considered pretty good among all the students.

Of course, these were all thanks to Wu Mo’s help in the dark.

If Wu Mo had not added a type of wood with stable energy to her materials list when she was organizing the materials to purchase during their group discussion, she would not have been able to do so well.

The two swords that she had forged definitely would not have pa.s.sed the preliminary stage where stable energy was required.

After that, during the durability test, her two swords had become severely bent due to the molding machine’s compression. It was Wu Mo who had used Mjolnir to hammer them straight and even helped Jiang Mengyao raise the grade of her weapons by accident. It had become the Dual Phoenix Swords as a result.

Following that was a series of paths to advancement.

Even though a score of 20 was not considered great, it was already better than that of many four-star blacksmiths.

As long as there were no major problems in the subsequent tests, it would not be difficult for her to enter the third round.

After Jiang Mengyao successfully pa.s.sed the latest test, she scanned the resting area with her beautiful eyes and soon noticed Wu Mo. She ran over happily.

Seeing Jiang Mengyao’s happy face, Wu Mo asked despite knowing the answer, “How did it go? Did you pa.s.s the test?”

“I pa.s.sed! I barely made it and got six points!”

The two of them sat in the rest area and chatted for a while. The curious Jiang Mengyao suddenly asked, “Wu Mo, what grade is your weapon? Not only can it break the array, but it also gave so many cultivators a tough time. It’s too amazing.”

Wu Mo smiled slightly and turned his head to look at the three instructors who were invigilating the a.s.sessment in the distance.

“You’ll find out when we enter the third round. The a.s.sessment hasn’t ended, so we have to keep a low profile.”

Seeing Wu Mo’s mysterious demeanor, Jiang Mengyao pursed her lips and suppressed her curiosity, no longer asking about the weapon.

Not long after, the first three tests were all over.

The students were either happy or sad. The company representatives who were watching silently jotted down the names of those who had good results and waited to invite them into the company after graduation.

Of course, the people from Treasure Pavilion and the Wei family had all witnessed the nearly one-hour a.s.sessment process.

At present, other than Wu Mo, there were also a few other four-star blacksmiths who had obtained extremely high scores of more than 25 points.

Among them was the cla.s.s monitor in Group 1, Tang Mu. His forging techniques were few and far between among those in the same realm.

Qian Rong, who had made a long sword out of rebar steel, and Zhu Shan, who had made a flexible sword out of a mix of steel, as well as the other groups’ Han Cheng and Jing Yuan, were all seeded players in the a.s.sessment for outstanding students.

However, due to Wu Mo’s brilliance, the others seemed a lot dimmer.

That made those proud and arrogant young geniuses feel dissatisfied, and they wanted to find an opportunity to bring Wu Mo’s spirit down.

Over in the nearby VIP seats, the tenth elder looked at Wu Mo, and he was full of admiration in his heart.

“It appears that my guess has been correct. The genius who forged the Divine weapon is indeed Wu Mo!”

“Elder, do you think Mr. Wu can be the top scorer of this a.s.sessment?” Gao Yue, who was sitting next to him, asked expectantly.

A few receptionists standing behind him immediately stepped forward, wanting to hear the tenth elder’s evaluation of Wu Mo.

“Although the Divine Arms Academy is the academy with the strongest teachers in Shanglin City, Wu Mo is the only genius who can forge a Divine weapon. Compared to him, the other people’s works are obviously a little amateurish. Wu Mo will most likely be the top scorer in this design a.s.sessment,” the tenth elder stroked his beard and said confidently.

The surrounding receptionists were all surprised. Yu Qing was no different.

She did not expect the student she had received in the past would have such talent. From the time they met until now, which was less than a month, Wu Mo had gone from a nameless blacksmith to a genius who could forge a Divine weapon.

Even though she had antic.i.p.ated Wu Mo to have great development, she was still surprised by the rapid increase in his strength.

Half a month ago, who would have known that an ordinary four-star blacksmith could actually help them eliminate an opponent that they viewed as a thorn in their side?!

He had seized all of Unique Treasure Hall’s market resources.

He had even forged a Divine weapon that shocked the mayor.

At this moment, the tenth elder respected him as much as the people of the Wei family hated him.

Everyone’s thoughts stopped abruptly when a few teachers, who were maintaining order, announced the start of the third round after a word or two.

After going through three rounds of “baptism,” there were less than 200 students left from the hundreds of students. The huge auditorium was even more empty now.

The third round of the a.s.sessment was for the qualification of outstanding students. As long as they could reach the top 10 by the end of it, they would be able to advance successfully until the final a.s.sessment.

The test to qualify was also fraught with difficulties. The first test was defensive ability!

The test required the partic.i.p.ating students to put on their equipment or activate their weapons’ defensive skills weapons. As long as they could withstand a full-strength attack from a martial artist, they would be considered successful.

Perfect defense against a two-star martial artist would be counted as three points. Perfect defense against a full-strength attack from a three-star martial artist would be counted as six points.

However, in order to obtain a full defense score, they would need to withstand a full-strength attack from a four-star martial artist. Moreover, their equipment or weapons could not be damaged at all!

It was not only a test for the equipment but also a test of the students’ understanding of their forged works.

Ultimately, everyone only had one chance. If their equipment’s resistance was very strong, but they only chose to go up against a two-star martial artist, their highest score could only be three points.

Meanwhile, if the equipment’s resistance was average and had the potential to obtain six points, but the student chose the highest difficulty, then what awaited him was the weapon’s destruction and the result of helplessly withdrawing from the a.s.sessment.

Therefore, when the students learned the rules of this test, they were instantly dumbfounded before they frantically chose between the two-star and three-star martial artist.

In their opinion, a four-star martial artist was too strong, and the spirit energy in his or her body was extremely abundant. A single hit was enough to break a stone tablet. It would be difficult for ordinary Rare or even Premium-grade equipment to withstand it.

It was simply not worth the price of having their equipment damaged.

The primary and intermediate stages of the a.s.sessment were not considered difficult, but for those students who were full of confidence, this was the best way to shake off their ordinary peers.
