Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 136 Terrifying Defense

At that moment, a seated Xu Wuyue was staring at the result on the defense testing device in shock.

Xu Wuyue had anticipated an extremely excellent defense value from Wu Mo's armor following the showcase of its invisibility effect.

He thought that the range of the defense test result would be around 65 to 75 points.

After all, the armor was too light. Even if it was forged with a Tier 2 array, it would not be able to break through 80 points.

However, the final result exceeded his expectations.

Only an extremely excellent heavy armor could achieve 88 points in defense.

Although he had worked in the Research Department for decades and had a wealth of experience in forging, he still could not imagine what Wu Mo had done to make his armor so strong in defense.

Chu Qingyan's improvement plan was much more mediocre in comparison.

Just by relying on defense and concealment, Wu Mo completely crushed all the participants with his improvement plan.

As he thought about Wu Mo's technique, he wondered what kind of advantage it would bring to the first-line cultivators if it could be applied on the battlefield.

In the future, not only would it reduce the number of first-line cultivator casualties, it might even change the situation of the battle.

That was more realistic than just increasing stealth.

Right then, Wei Lan rested his chin on his hands. There was a sharp glint in his gaze on Wu Mo.

If he could transfer this genius to the front lines and provide equipment to the cultivators who were defending against the invasion of the ten thousand races, would he not be able to play a more powerful role?

However, he buried this plan deep in his heart.

Now, the most important thing was to secure Wu Mo.

After all, he had witnessed Professor Liu and Academician Xu express negative emotions toward Wu Mo. They had publicly accused Wu Mo of being ignorant and incompetent.

That must have reduced Wu Mo's good impression of the Research Department. If Wu Mo could not justify it, he would leave his post as a graduate student and attend another organization. That would be a great loss to the fifth Research Department.

With that thought, he immediately steadied his mind. He spared no effort in praising Wu Mo. "Good, very good. Wu Mo's skills in the fields of defense and stealth have reached a master's level. He stands out even among many researchers. He is indeed worthy of being a top student in the fifth Research Department!"

Speaking of which, he took the lead in clapping. His excited and happy expression was self-evident.

Professor Liu sighed as well. Wu Mo's strength in those two fields was formidable.

At the same time, he was looking forward to the results of the test in the simulation machine.

If the armor forged by Wu Mo could display such powerful defense, then its other attributes would not be too bad.

If this armor could also exhibit outstanding abilities in battle, then Wu Mo's work would completely qualify for the tenth-generation standard combat suit improvement plan.

While everyone was still in shock, a series of beeping sounds came from behind Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning was the first to turn around to check the equipment's display.

The rest also shifted their gazes to see what kind of results Wu Mo's armor had achieved in the second test.

Their eyes gathered, and the machine's display screen immediately flashed with light.

Beep beep...

[The data of the improved armor has been analyzed.

[Comfort - Improved Model: 75 points, Ninth Generation: 61 points.

[Perspiration Absorption - Improved Model: 79 points, Ninth Generation: 57 points.

[Breathability - Improved Model: 84 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.

[Stain Resistance - Improved Model: 82 points, Ninth Generation: 62 points.

[Stealth - Improved Model: 97 points, Ninth Generation: 72 points.

[Battle Evaluation - Improved Model: 92 points, Ninth Generation: 70 points.]

A series of data appeared, dazzling all of them.

The sound of people gasping could be simultaneously heard on the testing field.

After they saw the heaven-defying data, everyone felt a jolt in their minds, and their eyes instantly widened.

Not only did Wu Mo's armor surpass Lai Hua's armor, which was made of four-groove fiber, in terms of comfort, perspiration absorption, and breathability, but his stain resistance had also broken through the 80-point barrier.

That meant Wu Mo's forging ability in this field had also reached the peak of perfection.

Following that was stealth, which everyone was most concerned about. Wu Mo's armor had actually obtained close to full marks.

It was a record that the Research Department had never been able to break until now. It had reached an unprecedented level.

This event held historic significance in the field of forging.

It was especially so for the three big shots who were sitting behind the table.

They felt their hair stand on end, and their faces were filled with amazement.

At that moment, Wu Mo's team members were staring blankly at the screen.

It was as if they had not recovered from the shock that Wu Mo had created.

"A genius! He's simply a genius!"

Professor Liu's lips were trembling slightly right then.

He completely understood what kind of changes Wu Mo's armor could bring to the field of forging.

His heart was filled with wave after wave of awe, especially when he saw such a perfect work of art from a graduate student.

Academician Xu was not calm either as he sat beside Professor Liu.

He was also in a state of shock thanks to Wu Mo.

His excellence not only surpassed many researchers who had worked for many years, but Wu Mo could also compare to academician-level master blacksmiths in some fields.

In the field of stealth, even Xu Wuyue could not forge a completely invisible piece of work.

Meanwhile, Wu Mo, who was only 20 years old, had achieved this improvement within two months.

The words 'the younger generation is awesome' could no longer describe Wu Mo's heaven-defying ability.

The final battle evaluation result was an even greater joke to everyone present.

A 92% battle evaluation?

The improvement in the ninth-generation standard combat suit had combined the painstaking efforts of countless researchers and academicians to achieve such a balance.

However, the armor provided by Wu Mo was superior to the ninth-generation standard combat suit in every field. The gap between them was huge.

Wu Mo had also reached the peak of perfection in the most vital battle evaluation.

Standard armor needed to be light, stealthy, and comfortable, with fighting and hiding being the most important.

Wu Mo's work achieved more than 90 points in both of those attributes, which proved his terrifying forging skills.

Above all, each attribute had such exaggerated evaluation data, yet they were all found on an 800-gram piece of armor.

This was almost as difficult as forging a Divine weapon.

Pa!

Professor Liu slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

His face was still filled with disbelief as he enthusiastically said, "The armor that Wu Mo has created is extremely developed, and each of his techniques has reached the level of perfection. I feel that this invisible armor can completely become the final improvement plan for the tenth-generation standard combat suit!"
