Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 45 - Rising Fame, the Tenth Elder Wants to See You

There was a deathly silence below the stage. It was as if someone had cast a binding spell on the crowd. They remained speechless as they stared at Wu Mo, who was standing on the stage, for a long time.

"F*ck! That was awesome!"

A middle-aged cultivator recovered from his shock and could not help but swear.

At that moment, the crowd finally snapped out of their daze. Immediately, cheers resounded throughout the street, almost raising the roofs of the surrounding buildings.

"I'm so amazed that I want to show this to the whole world!"

"This is simply too much. This is the most exhilarating match I've ever seen!"

"I've never been more satisfied watching a show. My admiration for Wu Mo is enough for me to submit to him!"

The discussions of the surrounding people were so loud that they almost went deaf.

Below the stage, the people from Treasure Pavilion were ecstatic.

They were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats.

Wu Mo walked down from the stage. He rubbed his Interspatial Ring slowly and stored his cloak as well as Armor-piercing Short Staff away. There were too many people there, so he did not want to make any mistakes.

"Manager Gao, I didn't disappoint you, did I?" Wu Mo said with a smile after he walked up to Gao Yue and patted him on the shoulder.

Gao Yue was excited. He held Wu Mo's hand and respectfully said, "Mr. Wu, you are Treasure Pavilion's most honorable guest. Thanks to your battle, our Treasure Pavilion will receive at least several hundred million resources and benefits.

"In the future, if you face any problems, please let me know. Treasure Pavilion will serve you wholeheartedly."

Gao Yue's heart was filled with fear and trepidation. With Wu Mo's help, Treasure Pavilion had benefited a lot. He had saved them a few years' worth of travel.

Wu Mo smiled and waved his hand. "It's nothing. It's what a special consultant should do."

After Wu Mo spoke, he raised his head and looked at the few people behind Manager Gao.

The blacksmiths who had raised objections earlier all averted their gazes. Some of the receptionists did not dare to look at him either, afraid that they would anger Mr. Wu because of any small action.

The two older appraisers also felt extremely emotional.

They expressed how wonderful it for Treasure Pavilion to receive the help of a great talent like Wu Mo. They all cupped their hands and congratulated him.

On the other side, the people from Unique Treasure Hall... had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

Wei Ying had previously looked down on Wu Mo. But now, he could not calm his heart for a long time.

Previously, the Wei family had been certain that Treasure Pavilion would be within their grasp.

However, the result was far beyond everyone's expectations. Not only did they not swallow Treasure Pavilion, but they even had to hand over Unique Treasure Hall, which they had painstakingly managed for several years. Such a loss was something that the Wei family could not accept.

One should know that in order to manage Treasure Pavilion, the Wei family had used a lot of connections and networks. Furthermore, they had signed a contract with the military.

Their goal was to grow Unique Treasure Hall's reputation and squeeze Treasure Pavilion out of the market.

But now, after several years of painstaking efforts, they had obtained such a result.

All their plans had been completely destroyed by the youth he had underestimated.

It resulted in the usually calm Wei Ying's hands to tremble uncontrollably.

One could imagine what kind of punishment he would face when he returned to the Wei family.

He could not face Big Brother Wei Jian, and he had let the Wei family down for so many years in terms of his cultivation. To think that he would actually stumble on such a small matter.

To make matters worse, he had lost to an unknown blacksmith. He could not accept such a result.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely put his arrogant prejudice aside and focus on dealing with this young man called Wu Mo. .

"Sigh... I didn't expect things to end like this."

The butler's face turned gray. He glanced at the cameras around him and the media who were still focusing on them.

After struggling internally for a moment, he could only follow the rules set a week ago and hand the store over to Treasure Pavilion.

Once they passed the key to Treasure Pavilion, the manager's originally mottled hair turned even whiter, as though he had aged a few years in an instant.

The remaining people from Unique Treasure Hall immediately stepped onto the stage and carried the heavily-injured and unconscious Wei Jiaming on their shoulders as they rushed toward the nearest hospital.

Manager Gao glanced at the few people who soon disappeared and spoke to the other manager with a serious expression. "According to the rules, I'll take over the store in two days. I hope you won't play any tricks and ruin the Wei family's reputation in front of the media."

The manager's skinny hand trembled slightly.

"Don't worry, our Wei family won't be so sore losers. You can bring your people here at any time."

The manager from the Wei family's side pressed his thumb on the contract and squeezed through the crowd to walk into the distance.

However, he was devastated as he staggered away. His steps were so unsteady that the wind could probably blow him away.

Meanwhile, Unique Treasure Hall's chief blacksmith, Wei Ying, gave Wu Mo a deep look before he turned around to leave. It was as if he wanted to carve Wu Mo's figure into his soul.

Seeing the members of the Wei family get into their cars and disappear into the streets, the surrounding spectators also dispersed.

Nevertheless, they continued to talk about what they had seen today. After all, being able to witness the prosperity and decline of the two chambers of commerce was pretty much historic.

Thanks to the competition, Treasure Pavilion's reputation in Shanglin City became much better.

The entire competition had been broadcasted, so aside from the dozens of media outlets that were present, over a thousand spectators had witnessed it as well.

Word of mouth was enough to make Treasure Pavilion's reputation soar to the sky.

Not long after, the crowded streets returned to their usual lively state.

Since news spread wildly on the Internet, merchants and cultivators who had a need for equipment rushed to Treasure Pavilion one after another.

When they saw online that the cloak Wu Mo used was fireproof and poison-proof, they knew that Treasure Pavilion could forge equipment of much higher grade than other chambers of commerce.

Therefore, Treasure Pavilion was their first choice.

The matter appeared to be settled, so Wu Mo got ready to leave.

However, Manager Gao Yue, who was standing at the side, immediately urged him to stay. "Mr. Wu, please wait for a moment. Our headquarters' tenth elder wants to see you."

Wu Mo stopped and turned around to look at Gao Yue.

"Tenth elder? Why does he want to see me?" he asked curiously.

Noticing that Wu Mo did not seem to understand, Gao Yue clasped his hands and explained.

"It's like this. A week ago, our headquarters received news of our competition with Unique Treasure Hall and sent people over."

"Due to the distance, they've just arrived in Shanglin City. The person who wants to see you is the tenth elder of Treasure Pavilion's headquarters. I just told him about the competition's outcome, and he expressed a great desire to meet you. He hopes that you'll give him a chance."

When Wu Mo saw how sincere Gao Yue looked, he agreed. In any case, he had nothing urgent to do today. Since someone from Treasure Pavilion's headquarters wanted to see him, as a special consultant, there was no reason for him to refuse.

"Alright, I'll wait."

Gao Yue's face revealed a delighted smile once Wu Mo agreed.
