Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

Chapter 88 Control Skill Test, Black-Tech Magic Crystal Cannon!

It was a mountain that they could not climb no matter how hard they tried.

Wu Mo was ranked first with 55 points.

Han Cheng was ranked second with 43 points.

Qian Rong was ranked third with 42 points.

Tang Mu was ranked seventh with 39 points.

Jing Yuan was ranked ninth with 38 points.

There were 28 eligible participants remaining on the field!

The quota had been set, and all the students present were giving their all to perform at their best.

However, the sixth round of the assessment was quietly approaching, and the host marched up to the assessment platform.

At that point, most of the remaining students were pale-faced and had little energy left.

"For the final control test, the rules are as follows:

"The remaining students present will be divided into groups of 10. After the start of the test, they can freely use their control skills. As long as their opponents are hit by the magic crystal bullets, they will be eliminated. The elimination of one person will be calculated as 4 points, and a student can earn a maximum of 10 points.

"The last four people in each group will automatically advance. If the winner does not use control skills to eliminate anyone, it will be considered a failure!"

As the host spoke, he walked to the edge of the assessment platform.

An unknown machine covered in a white silk cloth had been placed there.

Judge Zhou Jinlong had arranged for it to be placed there after the end of the fifth assessment.

"The test this time will grant us the top 10 out of 28. If you successfully complete the test but score less than 40 points overall, you will also fail!"

After the host finished speaking, he immediately raised the white silk cloth covering the machine. Everyone focused their eyes and saw a machine that was more than a meter tall!

The entire machine was silvery-white in color, and there were four fixed pillars below it.

A long horn-shaped cannon barrel was aimed at the center of the assessment platform, and behind it was an energy-gathering slot.

As long as there were magic crystals to provide energy, this black technology called the Magic Crystal Cannon would continuously shoot out magic crystal bullets.

Its range of power could be anywhere from light water bullets to missiles. Provided that enough magic crystals were put in, even a mountain could be easily blown up!

Faced with the dark barrel, the students could not remain calm.

"Don't be afraid. There won't be any danger in your assessment. I have adjusted this machine to its lowest power, so it won't harm anyone."

At that moment, Zhou Jinlong from the National Artifact Research Department walked up to the assessment platform expectantly and spoke to everyone with a smile.

The remaining students exchanged looks and saw the uncertainty in each other's eyes.

Throughout the assessment, the special guest judge, Zhou Jinlong, had often put on a poker face. Many people thought that was just how he was.

Now that he was smiling all of a sudden, many students felt goosebumps in their hearts.

"Alright, everyone, it's getting late. After this last round of the assessment, you will all be completely free to go home and celebrate with enviable results!"

Seeing that the students were still a little worried, Zhou Jinlong immediately encouraged them.

The assistant at the side pressed the remote control, and the screen once again switched to the red balls with random numbers.

The fact was, the students who had made it this far were already considered the best.

They were by no means weak, and their forged projects had tested well in all aspects.

Even if they gave up now, they could still gain the favor of big companies.

However, those students were not willing to leave just like that. Their goal was to be outstanding students!

"Let's compete then. We've already come this far, so how can we be afraid?!" a blacksmith with a buzz cut clenched his fists and said.

"I want to see who else can obtain the outstanding student certificate aside from me!"

Many were not willing to admit defeat, and they began to look at the rolling screen enthusiastically.

In a short moment, ten red balls fell one after another.

Seeing the numbers on the balls, many students quickly walked up to the assessment stage. They looked like they were ready to die, and a few teachers amongst the jury stared at them.

"It's a pity that I can't fight with you anymore!"

Jiang Mengyao looked at the ten students on the stage and sighed.

Her dual blades had been broken into a few pieces, so she put them into her bag. She seemed a little down.

"It's okay. It's not easy to even get to this point. Why are you so hard on yourself?"

Wu Mo lowered his head and smiled gently. He reached out and touched Mengyao's soft hair.

"Um... okay."

Mengyao's petite face turned red, and her voice became much softer.

On the assessment platform, Researcher Zhou Jinlong adjusted the machine and took out a small magic crystal from his portable belt.

He put the magic crystal into the energy slot behind the Magic Crystal Cannon, and colorful light was immediately released.

As the Magic Crystal Cannon warmed up, it produced a buzzing sound

Several of the students could not help but take a few more glances. Although Judge Zhou assured them that they would be fine, they still felt uncertain when they heard the sound that was akin to a rocket launching.

Right then, most of the ten people on the stage were ranked in the top 20, and a few students were ranked very high.

Han Cheng and Qian Rong were among them.

The ten students were standing less than five meters apart from each other, and the circular assessment platform was going to be the Magic Crystal Cannon's area of attack.

If they were hit by a magic crystal bullet in the next one minute, they would fail the test straight away.

This not only tested the students' reaction speed but also their various weapons or equipment's control effects.

"I now announce the commencement of the control test's first round!" Zhou Jinlong said expressionlessly.

Immediately after, he pressed the Magic Crystal Cannon's activation!

Bang!

At that very second, they heard a muffled sound.

The students turned their heads to look and saw beams of light shooting out from the cannon toward those on stage at an extremely high speed.

The magic crystal bullets took on an oval shape. They were about six centimeters long, but their speed exceeded fifty meters per second.

The students did not have much time to react.

As the test began, the students quickly activated their weapons' defenses.

Fwoosh fwoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind rang out.

A student on the right was hit by a sudden gust of wind and turbulence. As a result, his body unwittingly froze on the spot.

Then, a magic crystal bullet instantly hit him, and he flew several meters back.

Upon seeing the first eliminated person, the remaining nine on the stage could not help but tense up.

"You said the magic crystal bullet had no power, but it can blow people back. You told us it had no power!"

When he saw the students' shocked gazes, Zhou Jinlong, who was controlling the magic crystal bullets, smiled.

"Look, no one is injured. This cannon's power is already at the lowest level."

As he said that, he shifted the muzzle of the cannon, and countless magic crystal bullets immediately poured out.

Everyone activated their defensive skills or accelerated to dodge, while they cursed in their hearts!

'D*mn it!'

The student who had been sent flying by the magic crystal bullet limped off the stage with a relieved look on his face.

Although he was no longer qualified to be in the running as a top student, his test score was still good. After graduation, he could easily join a state-owned enterprise like Tianji.
