Chapter 74 - Agility Test, Have You Seen a Flying Hammer?

“Let’s begin!”

The young student gently stroked the dagger’s leather handle. Then, he immediately took a deep breath.

In the next moment, his figure flashed, and he slashed out seven or eight cold rays in midair.

The dagger in his hand was about 20 centimeters long. From the surface, there did not seem to be any special array formation or pattern on it.

It was just that the dagger’s hilt was inlaid with an eye-catching gem. The dagger was nourished by energy, and it appeared exceptionally sharp.

The young man waved the dagger and his body flashed again, creating layers of blade flowers in the air. He looked extremely nimble and dazzling.

Seeing this, the mayor felt a little excited.

The students of the Divine Arms Academy were amazing. Not only were their forging skills strong, but their physical skills were not bad either. As expected of an academy that could nurture such a genius!

Right then, less than an hour before the start of the design assessment, Premium equipment had already appeared. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they would see the Divine equipment.

He became even more excited when that thought occurred to him, and he gave the student a high evaluation of nine points.

The other judges also gave a good evaluation. In the end, the youth who held the fine dagger received an average of eight points.

“Student, I’m a little curious about the kind of gem embedded in your dagger.”

Seeing that the evaluation had been given, Zhou Jinlong, who was looking at the materials, immediately raised his head and calmly asked a question.

“It’s a Tier 3 material, Dark Moonstone. I got it by chance.”

The young man did not hide it and answered proudly.

He had picked up the stone from a store and only spent less than ¥5,000.

To him, it was a pretty good deal.

With the energy provided by the Dark Moonstone, the dagger that he had forged was directly upgraded to Premium grade. Moreover, it had three equipment effects. The last time he sent it for inspection, he even received an estimated ¥1,700,000!

That made everyone in the school envious for a long time.

“Heh, not bad. Sometimes, luck is also a part of strength. You may step down.”

Zhou Jinlong gave a pertinent evaluation.

Seeing this, the surrounding students were extremely envious.

If they could pick up a Tier 3 material, the equipment in their hands could also be promoted to Premium grade, and they could easily pass the assessment.

The few students in front of Wu Mo all received good results, and the highest one achieved an average score of nine points.

The current student had essentially forged a thumb-sized flying shuttle. This shuttle could be controlled with spirit power, and injecting spirit power into it could increase its attack power.

The seemingly unremarkable “flying shuttle” earned such a high score because it could be suspended in the air and be controlled with spirit power like an arm.

For such a sensitive flying shuttle to get a score of nine points, it was considered worthy.

The student in front of Wu Mo swiftly descended the stage with his work, and the surrounding students cast envious gazes at him.

“What an expert! To be able to cast a flying array on such a small object, I have no choice but to admit defeat.”

“There are many talents in group three. Who knows, there might even be a god who will score 10 out of 10 in the future!”

Seeing the mayor open the name list, the surrounding students immediately stopped their discussion.

“Next, Group 1, Wu Mo!”

Hearing the principal call out his name, Wu Mo immediately walked up to the examination platform before the crowd’s suspicious gaze.

His footsteps were steady, and not a hint of panic was on his face.

Following the examination’s protocol, he placed the Lightning Warhammer, or Mjolnir, on the viewing table first, allowing the judges to take a good look at it.

Examination Zone 2 became quiet. Everyone stared at the silver hammer on the table, but they did not notice any light coming from it.

One of the teachers was about to open his mouth to ask when the principal interrupted him.

The old principal wiped his glasses and took a closer look.

A moment later, he confirmed his inner thoughts and immediately praised, “An invisibility array. You managed to apply such a small-scale array to a weapon. Hehe, this is really surprising!”

The moment the old principal pointed it out, the surrounding teachers understood.

The teachers who were about to ask questions earlier sat back down in shame.

After learning the truth, the faces of many students changed.

“That’s rare. If it weren’t for this, I wouldn’t have known that there was such a formation in the world.”

“Sigh, I really don’t know what Wu Mo is thinking. Others wish they could install a lamp on their weapons to make their weapons shine brighter. Meanwhile, he specifically placed a formation to block the light.”

The students had different opinions. The class monitor who was standing at the side snorted and spoke indifferently. “Needless to say, a person like him isn’t strong enough. He just wants to rely on other means to hide his weapon’s light.

“Playing such tricks is just a little clever. Look at how heavy his broken hammer is. Its flexibility is definitely a mess. He should go home and burn some incense if he can even score three points!

“Tsk… That seems to make sense. Wu Mo received 10 points in the previous round. This time, he’ll probably be eliminated with 0 points.”

Everyone focused their eyes on Wu Mo and the hammer he had forged.

The hammer on the table was 26 cm thick and 15 cm wide. Its surface was a shiny silver.

There were also inscriptions carved on both sides of the hammer. A purple gemstone was inlaid at the top, while the handle at the bottom was dark brown. There were circles of patterns on it and a leather ring at the end. In terms of forging technique, it was not very exquisite.

Compared with the fancy equipment previously displayed in Examination Zone 2, Wu Mo’s silver hammer looked plain.

“Let’s begin. Please show us how nimble your weapon is,” Zhao Lu held a black marker pen and said with some anticipation.

Wu Mo nodded. He raised his right hand and grabbed the Lightning Warhammer on the table in front of him.

Everyone was a little confused, but right then, the hammer that had been lying quietly on the platform suddenly moved!

The huge silver hammer seemed to be affected by magnetic force. It immediately rose into the air and flew into Wu Mo’s palm in an instant.

The sudden change shocked the three judges and dozens of jury members

They looked at Wu Mo, who was standing on the assessment platform, with disbelief.

Although the silver hammer was not big, it weighed at least a few kilograms. How could it fly so easily?

Moreover, it returned to Wu Mo’s hand with such speed!

The warhammer’s mobility surprised everyone and aroused the curiosity of more people. They wanted to know what allowed the silver hammer to do that.

At that moment, the old principal opened his mouth slightly and stared at the weapon in Wu Mo’s hand.

Mayor Zhao Lu was also stunned because what just transpired was truly puzzling.

Even if the huge hammer could be controlled with spirit power, it should not be able to fly because of its weight.

Otherwise, the others would not have tried so hard to reduce the weight of their weapons for them to be agile.

It was not just the principal and the mayor. Even the usually cold and aloof special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, frowned slightly as if he was a little taken aback.

However, unbeknownst to them, Wu Mo had brought them far more surprises than that!
