Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone was talking about Wu Mo’s previous battle. They were all excited as if they had witnessed history!
Jiang Mengyao, who was standing in the distance, also looked at Wu Mo with admiration.
The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
Jiang Mengyao was extremely happy to see Wu Mo walk out of his depressed state.
In fact, before the graduation a.s.sessment, she already believed that Wu Mo would obtain good results.
After all, a genius who could truly shine would not need long to recover!
One day, he would remove the dust off his body and shine brightly.
…
“As expected of Mr. Wu. Even I feel inferior to him in terms of forging strength.”
The tenth elder sighed softly. The joy in his heart was beyond words.
At that moment, Gao Yue had an excited look on his face too. He was proud of his bold decision in the past.
Back then, he could tell at a glance that Wu Mo had great potential. Taking advantage of the fact that the young man’s strength had yet to reach its peak, he had finessed him into becoming a special consultant.
Thanks to his correct decision back then, Wu Mo now had a good relationship with Treasure Pavilion!
“Some people are just destined to be extraordinary…” Yu Qing, who was standing behind the tenth elder, said subconsciously as she watched Wu Mo walk down the stage.
At that thought, she turned her head to look in the Wei family’s direction and found that they had already left the auditorium at some point in time.
Wu Mo returned to the crowd below and could clearly feel countless company representatives staring at him with piercing gazes from the VIP seats.
It was as if a bunch of macho men were looking at a delicate beauty. Their eyes were burning with pa.s.sion.
Wu Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry as he faced the situation.
He squeezed out of the crowd and went to the resting area. He was waiting for the final round of the a.s.sessment to end before going up to the stage to receive his award.
After all, there were many benefits to being number one.
Right then, Jiang Mengyao was looking at him happily in the resting area.
“Wu Mo, congratulations on coming out at the top. I knew you wouldn’t be that depressed.”
Jiang Mengyao’s eyes were shining. She was even happier to see Wu Mo win than he was.
“It’s still too early to talk about being number one. We have to, at least, wait until the last round of the a.s.sessment is over and the ranking list is updated… right?” Wu Mo blinked his eyes and said with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while in the rest area.
Soon, the academy authorities continued with the third control a.s.sessment. However, due to a shortage of people, the rules were temporarily adjusted.
Once this a.s.sessment was over, there would be no more decisive battles. Instead, the a.s.sessment scores would be used to determine the outstanding students, as well as those in first place and second place respectively.
Not long after, the host began to make arrangements for the final round of the control category a.s.sessment.
The remaining eight contestants walked onto the stage with cautious expressions.
The new test format was more friendly to them. Nevertheless, if they were not careful, they might fail miserably!
“The third round of the control category a.s.sessment will begin now!”
Seeing that night was about to arrive, the host immediately announced the start of the a.s.sessment
The last eight students were the team with the lowest scores in the a.s.sessment. Among them, there were a few who were only at the three-star level.
However, since some of their works had more outstanding dimensions, they had overcome all obstacles and arrived here.
As the a.s.sessment began, everyone immediately a.s.sumed a defensive stance. Their expressions were wary as they restrained each other. Sadly, their balance was quickly broken.
A youth dressed in gray robes waved a long saber in his hand and charged toward a student not far away.
His saber flickered with cold light as he charged toward his opponent with the sound of rushing wind. His target quickly noticed something amiss and turned around to stab him back with his sword.
The shadows of their swords were heavy like a dense fog, bringing about a series of airwaves.
The two of them instantly fought each other, and the light and shadow from their swords became intertwined.
However, the two of them were ultimately blacksmiths, and they only knew the simplest way to exert strength.
It was all thanks to the additional effects of their weapons that they were able to fight so fiercely.
Even so, there was still a gap in strength between them. The battle only lasted for a few seconds before the victor was determined.
One of them was eliminated half a minute later, and the speed at which it happened made the others even more cautious.
“There’s only one spot left. Let me end this battle!”
Right then, a young man with two blades walked out.
He had a strong figure, dark skin, and a confident smile on his face.
The surrounding people immediately stared at him, worried that he would explode and hurt someone in the next second.
The muscles on the young man’s arms clapped, and his two slender blades glowed with a cold light. The blades were serrated, and there was still a trace of blood on them.
“Come on, let’s see who will be my next stepping stone!”
The young man had long hair, and his gaze was filled with killing intent as he looked at the others.
A moment later, he seemingly found his target. He pushed himself forth with his legs, and his figure shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.
His sharp blade cut through the air, directly slashing down at one of the students.
A gloomy expression flashed across the latter’s face. Just as he was about to swing the long staff in his hand to block, a gust of chilly wind came from behind him.
Another student was taking advantage of the chaos to attack!
Therefore, the student who was pincer-attacked did not dare to ignore the attack behind him and immediately retreated to dodge it.
However, at that moment, the blades of the dual blades had already arrived. The student quickly used the weapons in his hands to block them.
Unfortunately, in the next second, he was sent flying off the entire a.s.sessment platform by his opponent’s powerful strength!
The young man who was holding the long staff in his hand fell heavily to the ground. He felt as if his internal organs had been displaced by the impact.
There was also the faint smell of blood from his mouth.
“Ugh… I protest, Judges. It’s not fair for the two of them to attack me in a pincer.”
He struggled to get up from the ground and glared at the other two with an angry expression.
“The control test is a chaotic battle mode. There’s no such thing as an unfair pincer because everyone else is your enemy except for yourself!” Zhou Jinlong calmly said in the corner of the a.s.sessment platform.
“This… !”
The young man was speechless for a long time. In the end, he could only endure the pain and leave.
“Happy working together!”
The man holding two knives and the slim girl with a golden spike on her waist looked at each other. A smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
At this point, all the tests had come to an end!
After that, it was time for the speech, award presentation, and toast.
The six aspects of the a.s.sessment had all been completed, and the rest of the segment was progressing steadily.
In just a few minutes, the award stage was set up.
Princ.i.p.al Qiu would begin his speech!
As the name implied, the speech would segway into giving the blacksmiths their graduation certificates.
As long as one reached the three-star blacksmith level and pa.s.sed the a.s.sessment, they would receive a blacksmith’s star ribbon and a degree certificate from the academy.
With those two things, whether a qualified blacksmith went to an ordinary company or an online company, one’s salary would be several times higher than that of an ordinary person!
At the same time, it was also a ticket to officially enter the field of forging!
