Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?

392 Set Off!

He wanted to turn the Research Department into an impregnable military base.

Its defense would be so tight that even a fly would fail to pass through.

As the five cultivators arrived, the reporters who had been waiting outside the Research Department’s gate for hours immediately began to report and broadcast the entire event.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on the gate as five neatly dressed cultivators walked into the Research Department with serious expressions.

“They’re finally here…”

On the cultural square, Chen Qingbai was standing sideways with his arms crossed. He spoke indifferently as he glanced at the five people who finally appeared.

Xu Wanqing leaned forward slightly, and her beautiful eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The expressions of the other young blacksmiths who were standing together also changed slightly, and their eyes were more or less filled with anticipation.

The five cultivators who were going to escort them reached the cultural square before the many onlookers.

“It has been a tough journey for all of you. Now that the five participating blacksmiths are here, I hope that you can do your best to protect them on their journey.”

Xu Wuyue took a step forward and looked at the five individuals before him.

Professor Tan was standing at the side, and he quickly walked up to them as well. Then, he handed the relevant approval documents to Guan Hu, who was closest to him.

Right then, the researchers outside the cultural square were all excited.

They looked at the five blacksmiths who were about to leave for the exchange conference with envy.

One should know that the five cultivators standing before Academician Xu were extremely famous in White River.

They were all at the peak of six stars. Even in the vast White River province, they were still considered the best among the best.

Normally, they either carried out secret missions issued by the military or guarded various important institutions.

People usually had no chance of meeting even one of them, but now they could meet five top cultivators at once. How could they not be excited?

Furthermore, these top cultivators that they never had the chance of meeting were now in charge of protecting Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing, and the other participants.

Seeing them receive the protection of powerful cultivators from the military made the researchers extremely envious.

It was a pity that the requirements for the conference were too high. Forget ordinary people like them, even some of the descendants of aristocratic families found it difficult to meet the standard.

Wu Mo felt uncomfortable all over as he faced the crowd’s heated gaze. He just wanted this handover ceremony to end as soon as possible.

However, some of the participants who were traveling with him did not care. A few of them even enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people.

At the center of the cultural square, Guan Hu carefully stored the approval documents from the General Department. Then, he cupped his hands and valiantly said, “Academician Xu, don’t worry. We will definitely send the blacksmiths to the Red Heart province safely and protect them the whole way.”

Wen Yuan did not say anything, but he nodded seriously.

The rest of them also revealed serious expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn as a result.

This trip not only carried White River’s reputation, but it also carried the hope of future progress in the forging industry.

After all, the five blacksmiths who were being escorted were the strongest among the younger generation. If their strength increased, it would have a significant impact on the development of the entire forging field. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

It was likely that they would become seven-star forging masters in a few years’ time.

This would allow the overall strength of the White River province to rise to a higher level.

Soon, everyone witnessed the handover ceremony come to a perfect end, while the reporters covered the event.

They watched as the five cultivators led Wu Mo, Xu Wanqing, and the others into special military vehicles.

Then, the three military vehicles carrying them immediately drove off as hundreds of City Defense Army troops escorted them.

Academician Xu, Professor Tan, and the others stood at the Research Department’s entrance and watched the armored vehicles leave. They appeared a little conflicted.

“I really hope that they can all reach the six-star rank after they return.” Professor Tan tightened his collar and said expectantly.

“I hope so too. Opportunity is fleeting, and it’s up to them to grab it or not.”

Academician Xu narrowed his eyes and sighed.

“Hehe, with Wu Mo’s skills, he should have no problem entering the top 20. He might even surprise us when the time comes.”

Old Wen revealed a benevolent smile. He seemed to have high hopes for Wu Mo.

” I think Wanqing has a higher chance of entering the top 10. Although Wu Mo has both talent and academic spirit, he has only been in the Research Department for a short period of time. He doesn’t have a strong foundation,” another senior researcher provided his analysis.

He felt that Xu Wanqing was likely the strongest among the five.

“Alright… Although our preparations for the exchange conference have come to an end, there are still many things waiting for us in the Research Department. Let’s go inside first.”

Academician Xu smiled and shook his head as he ended their conversation prematurely.

Bracing cold winds, the few of them walked back.

Meanwhile, the closed roads nearby were gradually opening up, and the entire city slowly began to operate as normal again.

Many staff members in the Research Department returned to their posts as well.

The previous handover ceremony had undoubtedly given everyone a shot in the arm.

Everyone was now filled with enthusiasm for work.

Compared to the excited researchers who were in a hurry, Zhou Ning seemed out of place as she stood in front of a window on the sixth floor.

“It looks like I was right.” Zhou Ning stood by the window and muttered to herself with a smile.

Earlier, she had watched the entire handover ceremony and spotted a few high-level cultivators whom she would not normally come into contact with.

However, the ones that stirred her heart the most were the young blacksmiths who were participating in the exchange conference.

In other words, it was Wu Mo’s fast growth that surprised her.

Half a year ago, Wu Mo was still a newbie who would get lost in the Research Department.

...

At that time, he was not as confident as he was now. He had to think twice before accepting a commission.

However, in the past half a year, Zhou Ning had watched Wu Mo’s rank rise from first-class private to second lieutenant, and then to major.

She also watched as he received the Model Scientific Research medal.

It felt as if Wu Mo had been reborn in the last six months.

His entire mental state was different, but the biggest improvement was in his strength.

The current Wu Mo had already grown to a point where she could only look up to him.

This was exactly what she foresaw during her first meeting with Wu Mo.

When she first commissioned Wu Mo, she already sensed that he was different from the other new researchers.

Back then, she thought that maybe he would become a master blacksmith like Academician Xu in the future.

Unbeknownst to Zhou Ning, Wu Mo would fulfill half of her conjecture in just half a year.
