Chapter 82: Offensive Power Test, the Wei Family’s Plot!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wei Ying could not wait to rush onto the stage and kill Wu Mo right then and there.
However, the design assessment was not over yet. Even if he wanted to make a move, it had to be within the scope of the rules.
Thinking about what Wu Mo had done to their Wei family, Wei Ying could not help but feel furious.
“Hall Master Wei, let Jiaming get rid of Wu Mo in the next assessment!” the butler behind Wei Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice.
Looking at Wu Mo who was slowly walking down the stage not far away, Wei Ying frowned slightly. His deep eyes were filled with murderous intent!
“That’s good as well. The conflict between him and the Wei family will be resolved today. Get our men to make arrangements!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The slightly white-haired steward immediately nodded his head and agreed before he left the VIP seats with haste.
The Wei family had already been secretly putting their plans into motion since a week ago.
Their goal was to exact revenge on Treasure Pavilion and Wu Mo.
Last week, Wei Jiaming had been severely injured by Wu Mo, and to treat his injuries, he had to suspend his studies at the Divine Arms Academy.
After recuperating for a period of time, his strength had barely recovered.
For Wei Jiaming to graduate successfully, the Wei family had spent a lot of money on to pull some strings in the Divine Arms Academy. They had also gotten a distant relative to work in the Divine Arms Academy to help them from the inside. That allowed Wei Jiaming to once again have the qualifications to participate in the design assessment.
In order to exact revenge on Wu Mo, the Wei family spared no expense to infiltrate the Divine Arms Academy. In the end, they managed to get where they were today.
At this moment, Wei Jiaming had passed all the tests with his graduation project. With a score of 34 points, he was ranked fourth among all the students.
He stood before everyone once again with a brand-new attitude.
The top 50 students were all ranked on the big screen above the test area.
Wu Mo: 40 points.
Tang Mu: 37 points.
Han Cheng: 35 points.
Wei Jiaming: 34 points.
Zhu Shan was in seventh place, Jing Yuan was in eighth place, and Jiang Mengyao was in thirty-ninth place.
Wei Jiaming’s expression turned ferocious as he looked at Wu Mo’s dazzling results and the rankings on the big screen, which was constantly refreshing.
He touched his chest, where there was still a faint pain.
Thinking back to a week ago, when he was defeated by Wu Mo in front of everyone, the humiliation made the veins on his forehead pop out.
“Just you wait, Wu Mo! This time, I’ll make sure that you’ll never be able to lift your head up! I’ll make sure that you’ll never have the chance to fight back again!”
The noisy voices in the auditorium slowly disappeared.
By then, the defensive test was nearing its end, and there were less than 100 students left.
The principal in the judge’s seat raised his head to look at Wu Mo, who was ranked first on the screen, and his heart was filled with anticipation.
If Wu Mo also obtained a full score in the following assessment, he would probably become the only student in the history of the Divine Arms Academy to obtain a full score in the assessment.
Thinking of that, he felt excited.
“Mayor, a true Divine weapon doesn’t just have a strong defense. I believe that you haven’t seen enough. In the next round, this old man will go up and test that hammer’s offensive power!”
Hearing the principal’s words, the mayor and researcher, Zhou Jinlong, were slightly taken aback.
“Thank you, Principal. It just so happens that I want to learn more about your student.”
Zhou Jinlong nodded slightly, a trace of anticipation and surprise flashing through his eyes.
As a six-star blacksmith, the principal must have many treasures on him. When the time comes, he would definitely be able to test the hammer’s offensive power!
After all, Divine weapons were divided into different grades. A weapon that could reach the standard of a Divine weapon might not necessarily be as practical as an Epic weapon.
Right then, Mayor Zhao Lu’s face was filled with joy. Previously, Wu Mo had defeated him in the defense test. Although he had roughly confirmed that the hammer was a Divine weapon, if he could test it on multiple fronts, he would definitely be able to understand it intuitively.
The auditorium gradually quieted down, and the last blacksmith completed the defense test for his work.
The average scores of the students were all distributed between 16 to 28 points. A single point difference was enough to shake off 7 to 8 competitors.
The remaining students naturally paid more attention to the upcoming test.
At this time, the host quickly walked up the stage and prepared to announce the rules for the fifth test.
“The next test will measure your weapon’s offensive power!”
“And in this test, each student will be divided into two groups at random and be required to attack their opponent’s weapon with their own. Each person will only have one chance to attack. If the opponent’s weapon or equipment is immobilized, the winner will receive a point. If not, the student fails!”
The host took out a remote and pressed it lightly. The next moment, hundreds of numbers representing each student immediately appeared on the big screen that displayed the scores.
At this point, the numbers had already started to roll. Once two numbered balls reach the exit, that pair would be considered an effective grouping.
“This assessment will narrow down 107 to 30. Please work hard.”
After the host finished speaking, he took the microphone and walked down the assessment platform. The numbers on the screen were about to stop rolling. Soon, two small red balls appeared on a round plate.
No. 16, Qian Rong, VS No. 73, Feng Jiang!
After the numbers appeared, two students immediately stepped out from the crowd and hurried toward the assessment stage.
The surrounding reporters immediately focused their cameras on the stage, while the three judges and many other members of the jury also focused their attention on the platform.
An assistant wearing a shirt immediately walked up and stood in the middle of the two students.
Qian Rong, who was only 168 cm in height and holding a long sword, stood on the spot with a face full of confidence.
In comparison, although the student named Feng Jiang had the upper hand in terms of height, he felt a little intimidated.
Qian Rong was currently ranked 16th, while Feng Jiang’s ranking was only around 70. In terms of weapon strength, Feng Jiang indeed did not have the upper hand.
“I’ll let you attack first. Don’t say that I’m tormenting you,” Qian Rong held his sword in front of him with both hands as he said with a smile.
Feng Jiang, who was holding two short knives in his hands, revealed a forced smile.
“The assessment shall begin. Student Feng Jiang will attack first.”
The assistant swiftly announced the start of the attack test.
Feng Jiang’s expression changed. He immediately activated his weapon’s attack skill and slashed down at the opponent’s wide, gleaming sword!
The students only heard a “dang!” sound.
The next moment, they discovered that the short sword in Feng Jiang’s hand had already rolled up, while Qian Rong’s long sword was still brand new, without a single scratch.
“Qian Rong wins by two points!”
“Student Qian Rong, would you like to remain on the stage to challenge the next person?”
When the assistant announced the results, Feng Jiang saw that his pitiful test score had dropped by another two points on the screen. His face instantly turned sorrowful.
“Haha, my long sword is made of rebar steel. No one can break it! But it needs a pause. I’m not going to take continuous turns.”
Qian Rong laughed as he walked off the stage, waiting for his number to be randomly picked again.
The number ball on the screen rolled again, and soon the result was out.
No. 4 Wei Jiaming VS No. 31 Deng Li.
Below the test platform, Wei Jiaming noticed that he was the second to be randomly selected, and a trace of joy flashed across his face.
