Chapter 217: A Hundred Meters in Six seconds, Wu Mo’s Strength Exceeds the Elder’s Expectations

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment he raised his foot, he immediately moved forward by about 60 centimeters. When his foot landed, he ran another 60 centimeters.

In this way, he managed to cover twice the distance with one step while consuming the same amount of physical strength.

While this effect was excellent for daily use, it was completely useless in combat.

Wu Mo was running at an unbelievable speed on the flat track.

If one observed carefully, one would notice that each of his steps covered twice the distance, but his pace remained the same.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the first half of his movements could almost be described as a flash.

“That’s how it works!”

The result that appeared before the two elders was completely beyond their expectations.

They knew that Wu Mo’s forging skills were outstanding. Whether it was in the details or his imagination, he far surpassed his peers.

However, the creation of the enhancement scroll was something that those below four stars had no chance to come into contact with.

They had set the test up in such a way because they wanted to distinguish between a four-star blacksmith and a five-star blacksmith in the shortest time possible.

However, Wu Mo had succeeded in drawing such an excellent enhancement scroll with limited materials. His skills were already at the level of a five-star blacksmith.

It was not what they had expected.

Six seconds passed by in a flash, and by then, Wu Mo had appeared at the end of the track. His entire body was like an afterimage as he arrived in an instant.

The numbers on the LCD TV embedded in the wall finally stopped moving and showed 5.873 seconds.

The two elders gasped when they saw the result.

This young man had actually completed the five-star ranking test, and he seemed to have more energy left.

“Don’t look at me. I didn’t expect this kid to pass the test either.”

Seeing Lian Chun stare at him in surprise, Ai Bo immediately explained.

The ability that Wu Mo displayed far exceeded their expectations.

They had worked in the Blacksmith Guild for a long time, but it was rare to see such a genius.

Even in Jingdu base city, where experts were as common as clouds, the strength that this young man displayed still topped the pyramid among the younger generation.

Seeing the young man walk over quickly, Ai Bo’s curiosity grew. Which master could have taught such an outstanding disciple?

“Elders, I wonder if I’ve passed?”

Wu Mo rushed over, but after he saw the numbers on the screen, the tension in his heart immediately dissipated.

However, out of caution, he still asked.

“This calls for a… congratulations on passing the five-star ranking test. Lian Chun, take him to the Information Department to apply for a certificate and clothing. I’ll head to the test building to take a look,” Ai Bo said with a smile.

He looked at Wu Mo with eyes full of admiration.

Lian Chun immediately nodded. “Let’s go, kid. I’ll bring you to get your certificate.”

He had a kind voice, and the way he smiled with his hands behind his back made him look like a common old man.

However, everyone in the entire test building was very humble before this elder. It was obvious that the latter had a great reputation in the guild.

Wu Mo quickly followed and walked toward the Information Department with the elder.

After he handed in the boots, he successfully changed his certificate.

The small booklet was heavy. Three neat words were written on the certificate’s green leather. The first page had Wu Mo’s photo and some related information. On the corresponding page, the words “five-star blacksmith” were written in black and white.

Below it was the Blacksmith Guild’s red seal.

The certificate was already in effect, and it came with legal responsibility. If it was arbitrarily altered or forged, it would violate the laws of the Nine Provinces.

After that, Wu Mo applied for four sets of blacksmith clothing with different styles.

They corresponded to the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

The blacksmith suits had many functions, such as ventilation, protection against the wind, keeping warm, and so on. Although it could not be considered a piece of high-quality equipment, it was many times better than ordinary clothes.

Whether it was the material, workmanship, or design, they were all in the best state. The styles were also slightly different. Each city and province allowed small-scale modifications.

However, the general style of the robe had to be fixed, and the decorative pattern on the chest could not be modified to other styles.

That was because it could directly reflect the blacksmith’s strength.

Wu Mo changed into the autumn blacksmith suit in the changing room, and he could feel that the five-star blacksmith suit had better functions than the four-star one.

As he looked at himself in the mirror, not only did he appear more energetic, but he also exuded a more luxurious aura, which was something that no other person could pull off.

After walking out of the changing room, Wu Mo and Elder Ai Bo parted ways in the garden.

“Have you considered taking the test for six stars?” Elder AI Bo said with a smile as he looked at Wu Mo, who was dressed like a gentleman.

“Elder, you must be joking. I’ve already tried my best for the five-star test. How would I dare to challenge the six-star one?” Wu Mo cupped his hands and replied.

His every movement was polite, and his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, so others did not feel restrained when interacting with him.

“Hehe, we’ll wait for the next time then. You’ve already brought us enough surprises today, so I’ll have to take my time.

After officially bidding farewell to Elder Ai Bo, Wu Mo walked out of the guild.

At this time, the students from the noble academy should have already left. If he headed out earlier, he could still make it.

With the intention of teaching the, a lesson, Wu Mo immediately quickened his pace.

They passed through the courtyard and walked out of the guild’s main entrance.

Wu Mo stood on the sidewalk and looked around, but he did not see any young blacksmiths.

“Did they leave early?” Wu Mo touched his nose and guessed in his heart.

He had wanted to teach those people a lesson, especially that cocky Jiang Zhou.

He did not lead the exemplary life of a noble genius, but he had the illness of one. He clearly needed to be taught a lesson.

There was also the girl with the ponytail who had been sarcastic toward him.

Wu Mo felt angry just thinking about it.

“They got lucky today.”

His stomach rumbled, and Wu Mo’s fierce face immediately collapsed.

He muttered to himself as he hurried to the end of the street, planning to find something to eat nearby.

A few minutes later, Elder Lian Chun brought the 10-odd young blacksmiths out of the guild.

It was four in the afternoon.

After Wu Mo had his meal, he left a small restaurant.

He used his phone to book a car online, and a few minutes later, he got into the car and rushed to the Research Department.

He had left the Research Department before nine in the morning and just returned. It was not a stretch to say that today’s events were beyond Wu Mo’s expectations.
