Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 412 Cultivation And Breakthrough

Wu Mo was still very cautious about the match after the exchange conference.

Although he was not entirely sure that Chu Qingyan was working with the foreign races, he had to be 100% prepared.

Apart from his own equipment, he also had to prepare one or two pieces of equipment for Guan Hu and the others to attack enemies and defend themselves. This way, he could ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Now, let us assume that the enemy was fully prepared. The strength of his incoming enemies were all above the six-star level, and there might even be seven-star fighters. In that case, he would prepare accordingly.

As for those who surpassed seven stars, eight stars, and nine stars, the probability of them appearing was too low.

According to the division of strength on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, one-star to three-star cultivators were soldier level, four-star to six-star cultivators were sargeant level, seven-star to nine-star cultivators were colonel level, and those above nine stars were generals.

When it came to those who were of even higher rank, Wu Mo did not know if they were marshals, kings, or even emperors. He had never seen them on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.

However, not seeing them did not mean that they did not exist.

After all, humans were basically at the bottom because they could barely defend themselves on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. If they encountered a slightly stronger foreign race, their defense line would likely be broken. After a massacre, they would only be able to retreat after paying a heavy price.

Oftentimes, it seemed like the non-humans just gave up on pursuing the humans. However, from a different perspective, it would seem like the humans were trapped by the non-humans. Whenever the non-humans wanted to kill a group of humans, they would break through their defense line. Other times, humans would only encounter small groups of non-humans and fierce beasts.

Either way, it was obvious how bad the humans' situation was at the moment.

Therefore, Wu Mo refused to believe that the Nine Provinces had not been infiltrated by the foreign races.

The nation was still stable because many things were hidden to avoid causing panic.

If the people knew that the human race was in a terrible situation, they would probably fall into despair.

Of course, these were all Wu Mo's speculations based on the clues revealed on the Internet and the news.

He was not too sure about the exact situation.

However, one thing was certain, and that was the human race was not in a good position, much less safe.

Therefore, he concluded that even if there were other races participating in his battle with Chu Qingyan, the strongest would not exceed the seven-star rank.

He even had a feeling that the foreign races would likely just send out six-star fighters.

However, compared to six-star humans, six-star non-humans were stronger.

Although the energy reactions in their bodies were similar, their use of energy and Divine weapons might be on a completely different level.

This was not because humans were weak, but because there was a difference in their inheritance.

The foreign races inherited extraordinary powers from hundreds or thousands of years ago. It could even be longer.

It was already quite extraordinary for humans to achieve what they had in just a few decades.

Wu Mo's current cultivation was divided into two parts. The first was his forging skills. Thanks to his forging, his spirit power had increased greatly, and his strength was now at the peak of five stars. However, in terms of his ability to use and accumulate transcendent energy, he was only at the peak of two stars.

This was largely due to the fact that he had spent a lot of time researching forging knowledge.

In reality, both parts of his cultivation needed to be honed for him to stand a chance.

Therefore, Wu Mo was still a two-star cultivator at this point. If he ended up in a battle, he might be killed before he could even react.

This was also the biggest shortcoming of the current Nine Provinces' blacksmiths. After all, humans had only come into contact with transcendent energy for a short time. To close the gap, they could only work hard on their Divine weapons and make some sacrifices.

It seemed natural to do so on a national strategic level, but individually, it seemed too extreme. Their shortcomings were too great, and they had no way of dealing with the current crisis.

Wu Mo understood this and knew that he was doing the right thing on a strategic level, but he could not do it himself.

After all, others did not have the Divine Blacksmith System or the Divine Forging Space. However, he had a cheat, so how could he give up on improving his own strength?

In the Divine Forging Space, Wu Mo summoned Mjolnir and hung it before him.

His consciousness was connected to this Divine weapon, and he could use it to sense transcendent spirit energy and absorb it.

Humans were currently practicing a few common cultivation techniques. The biggest gap between them was in the Divine weapons.

Wu Mo could not change this for the time being. He could only use his Divine weapons to absorb transcendent spirit energy according to the Art of Origin he had been cultivating.

Human cultivation methods were all based on the cultivation methods passed down from ancient times. Naturally, they contained extraordinary subtleties.

Nevertheless, it was an indisputable fact that there was still a huge gap between their cultivation methods and that of the non-humans, which had accumulated for thousands of years.

Wu Mo composed himself and removed any distracting thoughts. He then used Mjolnir to sense heavenly and earthly spirit energy.

Although his neural space was isolated from the outside world, the spirit energy within it was several hundred times denser than it was in the outside world.

Unfortunately, Wu Mo never made use of it and missed many opportunities.

As soon as he started cultivating, Mjolnir started to flash, and the mysterious lines on it lit up one by one. After the spirit energy gathered, the electric current in these lines was refined into transcendent energy that could be absorbed by the human body. With his connection to Mjolnir, the energy poured into his body.

During this process, there was a certain amount of transcendent energy consumption. As a seven-star Divine weapon, Mjolnir was already one of the best Divine weapons known to mankind. Even so, its consumption had reached 30%.

Wu Mo did not have many thoughts about this for the time being. Everything could only be pushed forward after the matter in the Red Heart province was over.

Fortunately, even though it had lost three layers, Mjolnir's quality was still intact. The efficiency of its absorption and tempering was still not something that other cultivators could compare with.

Coupled with the abundant spirit energy in the Divine Forging's Space, Wu Mo's cultivation speed skyrocketed. The energy in his body kept accumulating, circulating, and rising.

At one point, Wu Mo felt his body shake as if he had broken free from some kind of shackle. His spirit energy levels instantly increased, and the fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days instantly disappeared. He felt energetic all over.

Wu Mo's eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed in his heart.

This was only a breakthrough to the three-star level, and his cultivation technique was also ordinary. Despite that, this feeling was completely different from anything he had felt before.

If he forged and did research in his current state, the effects would be many times better and the process would be much more efficient.

If he could obtain a higher level of cultivation method in the future, what kind of changes would take place?

He looked at Mjolnir before him with excitement in his eyes.
