Chapter 86 The Principal Makes His Move, The Legendary Artifact!
His initial calm and pride, including his obsession and dignity, had been trampled to the ground by Wu Mo's strike!
As such, he fell into a state of madness. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Wu Mo!
However, before he could charge forward, the principal rushed over immediately and stopped him. He then asked his assistant to push Wei Jiaming away.
Unfortunately, Wei Jiaming did not have time to exact revenge before losing all his options for retreat.
His weapon was broken and destroyed, so he did not have a chance to graduate as an outstanding student anymore.
Therefore, when the ranking list was updated on the screen, Wu Mo remained in the number one spot. Moreover, the update increased his score to 45 points, which was much higher than the score in second place.
Wu Mo was first on the leaderboard again. Some people were happy, while others were sad.
Among them, the Wei family members sitting in the VIP seats were the most agitated.
Wei Ying's face was a little sullen. When his nails dug into his flesh, he did not visibly react.
A few family members behind him also had ugly expressions on their faces. They sat in their seats as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
"Wu Mo wins the offensive power duel!"
The assistant announced the results of the match.
Wu Mo was just about to leave when the principal on the assessment platform suddenly spoke up with a smile. "Wu Mo, your current assessment score is only five points. You'll need to fight another four battles before you can obtain the remaining ten points. However, I believe that it won't be too difficult for you and that it will just be a waste of time."
"I have a good idea, though. If you can effectively attack me, I'll give you all 10 points in one go. How about that?"
The principal looked at Wu Mo with a smile. He was not anxious at all. He just waited quietly for his reply.
He believed that Wu Mo would definitely agree to his conditions!
However, before Wu Mo could react, the students below the stage could no longer sit still.
In this design assessment, Wu Mo had undoubtedly become the entire venue's focal point. Not only was the mayor personally participating in the test, but Principal Qiu was also paying special attention to Wu Mo.
Such treatment was unique.
"Since the principal has already made his decision, I, Wu Mo, will not decline."
Wu Mo bowed slightly as a form of commitment.
He was a low-profile person and did not want to steal attention from others like the rest.
With that said, being able to obtain the remaining points in one go was much easier for him.
So, why not?
"Haha, let's begin then. Let me see how powerful your offense is and whether you can break through the defense of a weapon I personally forged!"
Principal Qiu laughed.
Subsequently, he looked into the void, and a purple light flashed in the sky. Soon after, an ancient copper mirror appeared in his hand.
The mirror was only the size of his palm. Auspicious cloud patterns were carved around it, and a black gemstone was inlaid on top.
The mirror did not seem to reflect any light, and its surface was a little old. It seemed to be an ordinary old item.
However, Wu Mo knew that as a six-star blacksmith, the principal could not possibly treasure an ordinary item.
'System, appraise the properties of this copper mirror.'
His eyes glinted as he thought to himself.
[Equipment appraisal completed.
[Cost: 100 points.
[Remaining Points: 49,586.
[Appraisal properties are as follows:
[Equipment Type: Armor
[Equipment Name: Glazed Heart-protecting Mirror.
[Equipment Grade: Legendary.
[System Score: 84.
[Equipment Effect: 1. Glazed Heart (reflects damage to the enemy, causing the same amount of damage. Note: It can only reflect attacks from weapons below Legendary. Cooldown: 24 hours)
[2. Black Tortoise Soul (reduces 85% physical and magic damage)
[3. Refraction (causes the enemy's attack to have a small chance of missing. It is ineffective against weapons above the Legendary level)
[4. Shield (gains energy every second. After receiving an attack, it will consume the same amount of energy to block the attack. Energy limit is 1000 points. At full capacity, it can block a full-strength attack from a six-star martial artist.)
[Additional Effect: Tier 3 Judgement Array (allows the wearer to take on all attacks with certainty! Attacks can be blocked but are not affected by dodging, vanishing, or deflecting effects.)
[Additional Mystery Rune (no one or technique can lock onto it)
[Equipment Evaluation: This piece of equipment has been polished countless times. Its grade is close to that of Divine-grade equipment, but it can never reach that level!]
A light blue system interface appeared before Wu Mo. The long list of dazzling effects made Wu Mo sigh at the Glazed Heart-protection Mirror's power.
"Is this the strength of a six-star blacksmith?"
He swallowed his saliva and sighed internally.
Although Wu Mo had personally forged Divine-grade equipment, 85% of it was due to the system.
Mjolnir's blueprint had allowed him to avoid countless detours, and the backtracking effect had helped him experience numerous failures unlike his peers.
As for the Divine-grade Forging Space, it had given him unlimited possibilities, allowing his hard work to be rewarded countless times over!
However, Principal Qiu had relied on himself for everything, immersing himself in the forging field for his entire life.
He only wanted to forge a Divine weapon, but he had never been able to achieve this goal.
Even though he had honed his forging technique for decades, even though he was already so old and frail, he was still a hair's breadth away from forging a Divine weapon.
Just for that short distance, Principal Qiu might have to spend his entire life closing the gap.
At this moment, Wu Mo finally understood the difficulty of forging a Divine weapon.
"No wonder it costs 100 points to appraise a piece of equipment. I didn't expect it to be of Legendary grade!"
Wu Mo thought about it in his heart and immediately felt relieved.
By now, Principal Qiu had already activated the copper mirror in front of him, unleashing its defensive effects.
"Let's begin, Wu Mo. Use your strongest move and let this old man see your strength," Principal Qiu said with a benevolent expression.
Wu Mo nodded and tightened his grip on Mjolnir.
He controlled it with his spirit power, and the thunder god's hammer immediately flew out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, shooting toward the copper mirror.
Although the copper mirror looked fragile, the mayor could not take his eyes off it in his seat. It had a strong aura.
Buzz!
A muffled sound rang out, and Mjolnir hit the copper mirror hard.
At the next moment, however, the ancient copper mirror did not shatter as the others had expected.
A ripple appeared, and the surface of the copper mirror continued to be covered in dust as before.
Wu Mo took two steps forward and grabbed his hammer. He jumped up and gave the copper mirror a heavy hit.
Yet, the copper mirror was still intact. There was only a light thud when Mjolnir hit it. Terrifying energy blocked it before it could even touch the copper mirror.
Whether Wu Mo used ordinary attacks or his self-taught <anno data-annotation-id="2eed3902-125e-1c75-ce2a-c3b892d1d17b">Chaotic Cloak Hammer technique</anno>, it was useless.
"As expected, this Glazed Heart-protection Mirror's defense is incredibly strong!"
Wu Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He rotated his wrist slightly, and in an instant, intense golden light appeared on the surface of the hammer. Right after, golden lightning struck the Glazed Heart-protection Mirror not far away!
Bang!
Everyone heard a loud sound.
The Glazed Heart-protection Mirror in Principal Qiu's hand trembled all of a sudden, and the condensed aura shield in front of him stirred up ripples. It only stabilized after a few seconds.
