Chapter 39 Before The Competition
Although he had relied on the system's casting space to achieve this, Wu Mo's own abilities were not to be underestimated.
If it was another person, it would definitely be difficult for them to reach Wu Mo's level.
One should know that the Forging Space was like a small black room that cut off one's perception. Unless the user's heart was extremely tough and could withstand a long period of loneliness, sooner or later, due to the suppression, problems would appear in one's mind.
However, it was a good thing that everything was worth it. Now that the cloak had been successfully cast, and it was even a Premium-grade item that was emitting a green glow, Wu Mo was extremely excited. He could not wait to see the effects of the cloak.
The system quickly sensed Wu Mo's thoughts and immediately gave the corresponding data.
[Cloak attribute analysis completed. The information is as follows.
[Equipment Type: Armor class
[Name: Mercury Cloak
[Grade: Premium
[System Score: 43 points
[Equipment Effects: 1. Silver Scale Magic Array (reduces 85% physical and magic damage).
[2. Green Leopard's Power (active use immediately increases the user's agility by 400% for 3 seconds. Cooldown: 1 hour).
[3. Purification (active use immediately removes all control and debuffs. Effect lasts for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute). Negative effects include Stun, Levitation, Deceleration, Poison, Burn, and so on.]
Looking at the data panel that appeared in front of him, Wu Mo's jaw dropped. He looked at the cloak in front of him with some surprise.
He did not expect the system rating of this Mercury Cloak to actually surpass the Armor-piercing Short Staff that he had designed previously. It had become the strongest equipment that he had designed since he transmigrated.
Thinking of this, Wu Mo's heart immediately became excited. He gently waved his right hand and immediately kept the cloak in his Interspatial Ring.
If Wu Mo had not refined the Mercury Cloak, he would have had an 80% chance of defeating Unique Treasure Hall. Now, it was 100%!
As long as he had the Mercury Cloak in hand, Wu Mo was not worried that the members of Unique Treasure Hall would do something sinister.
Defeating those guys was a piece of cake.
After all, he had two Premium-grade equipment, and the cloak had two active effects. Not only could it increase his speed instantly, but it was also immune to most negative effects.
The additional Silver Scale Magic Array could also block most physical and magic damage. Coupled with the Armor-piercing Short Staff, it was simply perfect.
A satisfied smile appeared on Wu Mo's face. He slowly closed his eyes and exited the Forging Space.
Even though his current expression was rather tired, the sense of accomplishment from producing the Tier 2 magic array and forging equipment still made Wu Mo very excited.
At this moment, outside the bedroom window, the sky had already become much darker. The warm sunlight hung in the sky, and more than half of it had already disappeared below the horizon.
For the past two days, he had been doing things related to casting in his dreams. He was almost obsessed. Now that he had finally completed the product, he could have a good rest for a while.
The heavy burden in his heart was relieved. Not long after, Wu Mo fell asleep, and only the sound of breathing could be heard in the bedroom.
The warm sun slowly disappeared, and the sky was gradually covered by darkness.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
During this week, Wu Mo quickly adjusted his physical condition to the best.
During this period of time, he had been training his physical fitness to be able to perform normally on the competition field.
Although it was only a few days and there was no change in his appearance, Wu Mo could clearly feel that his endurance had improved a lot.
In the beginning, he could not even last three kilometers each time, but after five days of long-distance running training, he was now able to run five kilometers in eighteen minutes.
Although this level was not too dazzling, at least Wu Mo's physical strength was about the same as an ordinary person. He was not like before, when he thought his predecessor was forging a Divine artifact behind closed doors at home. In the end, because of his work and lack of rest, day and night were reversed, and his physical fitness was extremely poor.
He almost could not even lift the hammer he used to forge.
At this time, there was less than an hour left before the scheduled time for the competition with Unique Treasure Hall.
After eating breakfast, Wu Mo put on his equipment and went out, preparing to head to Treasure Pavilion to participate in the competition.
Many students in the academy knew that today was the day of the competition. Therefore, when they saw Wu Mo walking out of the school gate, their faces immediately revealed surprised expressions.
They found it strange that Wu Mo dared to challenge Unique Treasure Hall.
After all, the opponent was a famous chamber of commerce in Shanglin City, and Wu Mo was only a student of the Divine Arms Academy. Whether it was his forging ability or his actual combat experience, Wu Mo was no match for Unique Treasure Hall's chief blacksmith.
Therefore, most of the students did not think highly of Wu Mo at all. They thought that he would only embarrass the Divine Arms Academy if he went out. Hence, those students did not treat him well.
"Look, look, look! That guy actually dares to fight!"
"Tsk, tsk. He really is a newborn calf that isn't afraid of tigers. He thinks that he can deal with the entire chamber of commerce. He simply does not have any basic knowledge of his own strength!"
"He is basically smearing the reputation of our entire Divine Arms Academy. If it was not for Professor Zhou Yan protecting him all the time, he would have been expelled from the academy long ago!"
Facing everyone's cold gazes, Wu Mo did not show any emotion. His expression revealed a trace of determination as he walked toward the academy's entrance without stopping.
At this moment, at the venue where the two chambers of commerce were holding the competition, the entrance of Treasure Pavilion was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
The competition between the two chambers of commerce this time had attracted the attention of countless people because it had received nearly a week's worth of publicity from the media.
Moreover, as both sides were famous chambers of commerce in Shanglin City, they had also attracted many business owners. The people who came to watch the show basically surrounded the empty space in front of Treasure Pavilion. There were more people than the last time.
Since the competition this time was about the production level of defensive equipment, and there was also a requirement for the actual combat practice, the Wei family had already ordered people to set up a one-meter-high arena in front of Treasure Pavilion yesterday.
This way, not only was it convenient for everyone to watch, but it also eliminated the possibility of cheating. Although there were still more than ten minutes before the competition, there were already dozens of media outlets waiting at the side, they had already started warming up their cameras.
The people watching outside could vaguely see a few reporters in TV tower uniforms explaining inside.
There was already a person standing on the stage, waiting. That person was wearing golden armor that was emitting a faint green light. He was holding a long spear in his hand as he stood majestically on the stage. That person was the mastermind of this incident, the eldest son of the Wei family, Wei Jiaming.
