Chapter 77: Complete Transformation, the Appearance of a Divine Weapon!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone fixed their gaze on the hammer floating in mid-air.
The mayor was now certain that the phenomenon he had seen a few days ago had definitely been caused by this hammer’s appearance!
At this moment, Wu Mo’s expression was similarly that of shock.
[System Notification: The Lightning Warhammer that the host forged has evolved into a Divine weapon after absorbing a large amount of spirit energy from the Tier 3 Dragon Soul Array!
[The Divine weapon, Mjolnir, has obtained a new equipment effect: Electrostatic Shield!
[Equipment Effect: 7. Electrostatic Shield (activates Mjolnir’s electrostatic net to block attacks. It is immune to all attacks from cultivators below a four-star level. It can greatly reduce spirit energy attacks. Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes.]
Wu Mo did not expect the hammer to turn into a real Divine weapon by accident. It was also a pleasant surprise for him!
He extended his right hand and Mjolnir flew over. He held it firmly in his hand!
At this point, the lightning phenomenon in the sky finally dissipated!
Looking at the Divine weapon in Wu Mo’s hand, all the students were stunned, especially the students who were in the same group as him. Their faces were filled with envy and excitement.
However, cla.s.s monitor Tang Mu was furious. He gave Wu Mo an incredulous look.
Wu Mo was just trash, a fellow who was not even a one-star blacksmith. How could he forge such a powerful artifact?
All of this could not be real!
Tang Mu’s face turned red as he roared, “This is impossible. It’s all an illusion. Perhaps everyone has been deceived by him! Everything is his doing!”
He could not accept that a useless student could actually create a work that was even more outstanding than his Qilin Feather Armor!
Yet, no one was willing to believe his words. They all thought that he was acting out of the unstable emotions in his heart and that he was just a narrow-minded clown.
Everyone could clearly see the strange phenomenon of lightning and thunder. Furthermore, many people had tried before and failed to pull the hammer up.
Everything pointed to the fact that Wu Mo was indeed holding a Divine artifact, and it was likely the only one in Shanglin City!
Right then, the old princ.i.p.al’s eyes were red, and the mayor was so emotional that both of his hands were trembling!
Even the usually indifferent researcher took another look at Wu Mo’s delicate face.
The strength that this student displayed was truly unbelievable.
Even the National Artifact Research Department, which held the ceiling in the forging field, had not stumbled upon such a genius!
Although Zhou Jinlong had also forged a Divine weapon before, it had been done with the joint efforts of several colleagues.
Wu Mo, on the other hand, managed to complete it independently as a student. Such an ability was considered terrifying!
“How interesting!”
The corner of Zhou Jinlong’s mouth revealed the trace of a smile. At that moment, he had quite a lot of interest in this student called Wu Mo.
“Old Princ.i.p.al, the Divine weapon aura we sensed last time has to be from this hammer. Hurry, make arrangements for me to meet him!”
Mayor Zhao Lu was at a loss. Although he was the mayor, he had never physically seen Divine-grade equipment before. Now that he had seen one, he was shocked beyond words.
He became even more determined to take a closer look.
Seeing this, the special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong also said, “If it’s possible, please bring me along. I’m very interested in this student.”
The two big shots both expressed that they wanted to meet Wu Mo. The princ.i.p.al was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
He had founded the Divine Arms Academy for twenty years, and his students were now all over the world. Although there were many six-star and above blacksmiths from his academy, none of them had ever reached the level of forging a Divine weapon.
He was happier than everyone else that his own student had achieved something.
However, the princ.i.p.al was a little hesitant at the moment.
As early as last year, he had heard Zhou Yan talk about this child.
He was willing to listen to lectures, his comprehension ability was strong, and he had forged many Rare-grade equipment on his own.
Even back then, Wu Mo’s world-shaking talent had shocked the experienced and knowledgeable princ.i.p.al.
He had also instructed Professor Zhou Yan to nurture him more.
However, Wu Mo suddenly met a dead end and tried to forge a Divine weapon. It was as if his entire person had been possessed by the devil, and his strength rapidly diminished even though he did not attend cla.s.ses.
After that, the media reported it, but it did not attract any attention. In the end, they could only let it go.
Since Wu Mo had a precedent of rising and quickly falling in strength that the old princ.i.p.al did not blindly say anything. He was afraid of raising the mayor’s and Research Department’s expectations of Wu Mo.
“Mayor, Judge Zhou, it’s not impossible for the two of you to meet Wu Mo. However, there are some things that I have to tell you. This student of mine usually has a calm and steady demeanor. At the same time, he’s very low-key. He’s not willing to display too much of his true strength in front of the public.”
“On top of that, we still don’t know for sure whether the hammer in his hand is a Divine weapon. Therefore, please don’t be anxious. We still have the defense, offensive power, and control a.s.sessments next. Won’t we be able to see the truth when the time comes?” the old princ.i.p.al said with a laugh.
Mayor Zhao Lu frowned slightly. The previous abnormal phenomenon was enough to indicate that Wu Mo had refined a Divine weapon. There was no need to wait for the whole a.s.sessment to end.
Be that as it may, considering the princ.i.p.al definitely had other matters to weigh, he could only calm down temporarily.
Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting at the side, fell silent for a moment. Then, he asked, “So, what do you plan to do, Princ.i.p.al?”
Zhou Jinlong felt that if Wu Mo really had such an introverted personality, it would be difficult for him to communicate normally even after the a.s.sessment ended. It would be harder to ask about matters related to the silver hammer.
However, the princ.i.p.al had already come up with a countermeasure. He smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice, “The a.s.sessment for the advancement round hasn’t ended yet. Let’s just sit tight for now. Once we enter the outstanding student a.s.sessment, we will have enough time.”
“How about this? I’ll arrange for the three of us to enter the arena directly for the next round and become the main examiners for the outstanding student a.s.sessment. When the time comes, we can raise the difficulty of the a.s.sessment and conduct some stress tests on him.”
As the princ.i.p.al spoke, he glanced at Wu Mo who was standing not too far away. “Once the difficulty rises, Wu Mo will definitely display the Divine artifact’s true strength. Won’t we be able to see it clearly then?”
After the princ.i.p.al finished speaking, the two individuals sitting in the judges’ seats were slightly stunned.
Understanding his point, the mayor slapped his thigh excitedly. “Gasp… That’s a good method!”
Zhou Jinlong also reacted quickly, a smile appearing on his face.
“Interesting. That is not a bad plan!”
The three of them agreed and immediately sent people to make arrangements.
At this moment, their gazes were once again focused on the examination area.
The characteristics that Wu Mo’s weapon displayed received the unanimous approval of several dozen judges straight away.
With full marks for both events, Wu Mo’s overall score had already surpa.s.sed 99% of the students’, and he became a candidate who was envied by everyone.
The a.s.sessment was still ongoing, and it did not take long for the staff in the auditorium to solve the problem of the array.
