Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam?
Chapter 79 - Han Cheng

The defense assessment began. The three martial artists who were preparing to test the defensive capabilities of their equipment were already in place.

The two-star cultivator's figure was well-proportioned, and one could feel the spirit energy circulating within his body.

The three-star cultivator's expression was fierce, and his every movement carried an extraordinary aura.

Four-star cultivators were rare in Shanglin City. At this moment, the young man waiting in the assessment area was not only wearing his equipment, but he was also holding a weapon that was emanating green light. His entire body was not only armed to the teeth, but there were also spirit energy fluctuations all over his body. His bulging muscles could erupt with powerful strength at any moment!

"D*mn, this four-star cultivator can probably destroy my armor with one punch."

"Say no more. I think that three-star cultivator is very powerful too. I don't know if my Phoenix Beak Blade can stand against him!"

"Haha, a bunch of cowards. A real man should challenge a four-star cultivator. Anyway, I'll go talk to that two-star young man first."

The crowd was noisy. The students whose names were called walked up to the assessment platform nervously.

Perhaps for the sake of stability, most of the students on the platform challenged three-star martial artists, and some of them knew that they weren't strong enough, so they chose the younger two-star martial artist.

As for the middle-aged man who was a four-star cultivator, there wasn't a single person in front of him.

This dramatic scene made the principal, the mayor, and the invited judge slightly stunned.

"Dang!"

At this moment, the three-star cultivator, Miao Xun, gathered his spirit energy and threw a punch at the student in front of him.

The student held a wide-bladed knife in both hands. Although he was poised, after being hit by Miao Xun's punch, the long knife immediately trembled, and the rebound force directly tore the student's thumb and thumb apart, sending him flying more than a meter away.

"Zhang Qin fails!"

The assistant at the side immediately announced the result. The young man named Zhang Qin lay on the ground with a pained expression, and all the strength in his body was deflated by this sentence.

"What a guy. Even a three-star cultivator is so strong. No wonder no one dares to challenge that big man!"

In the VIP seats, several business representatives couldn't help but sigh.

"Young people nowadays lack the spirit to take risks. They don't even dare to walk out of their comfort zone. Sigh..."

The defense test lasted for seven to eight minutes. At this moment, someone finally chose a four-star martial artist as the defense test.

That person wore a light blue blacksmith's robe. With a confident expression, he arrived in front of the four-star martial artist, the big man who wore armor and held a green long blade.

"Mr. Cultivator, thank you for your trouble."

Han Cheng bowed slightly, and then immediately took out a disk-sized equipment from behind him.

The disk-sized equipment was only the size of a washbasin. Its surface was khaki-colored, and there was a magic array carved in the center. The equipment seemed to be well-made, but it was only a Rare-grade equipment that emitted a blue light.

"Student Han Cheng, you are brave enough to challenge the four-star cultivator. Let's begin!"

Han Cheng's lips curved into a smile. Then, he lightly patted the disc in his hand. In the next moment, iron plates suddenly stretched out around the disc. Like the myriad manifestation umbrella, they began to assemble and transform.

In just a breath's time, it had become a shield that was half the height of a person.

The shield was bronze in color. On it were lines that were shaped like tree roots. At the center was a piece of sapphire-blue ore that was continuously releasing energy to nourish the shield!

Seeing the basin-sized disc expand into a shield that was half the height of a person, the surrounding business people widened their eyes.

The students were also confused, not understanding how this was made.

"Oh... This student named Han Cheng is interesting."

The mayor who was sitting in the judging panel was about to fall asleep from boredom, but seeing this scene, he suddenly became energetic and began to look forward to Han Cheng's performance.

The principal chuckled but didn't say anything.

Zhou Jinlong, who was sitting on the left side of the mayor, suddenly said, "Mayor, he used a Tier 2 folding array. This design isn't very exquisite. At most, it's just a trick."

Hearing Zhou Jinlong's words, Zhao Lu nodded slightly.

He had thought that he had seen a lot of forging equipment and had sufficient experience.

But now, it seemed that the forging techniques were endless. He was a little ignorant.

The two of them turned their gazes back to the assessment platform.

At this time, the middle-aged man, who was a four-star cultivator, was actually chosen as the assessment target. A smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Kid, you are quite brave. I wonder how strong you are. Can you withstand my blade!"

As he spoke, he gently turned his hand that was holding the blade. In the next moment, the dark green blade flashed with a chilling light, making people shudder in fear.

"Don't worry, I'm Ready!"

Han Cheng grabbed the handle on the back of the shield and tightly pressed it to his side. He was ready to take the next strike head-on.

"Haha, That's Good!"

The middle-aged man laughed loudly. In an instant, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and the spiritual power in his entire body instantly surged.

"Look at the blade!"

His right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and then he injected all the spiritual energy in his body into the blade. The originally light and long blade seemed to weigh a thousand Jin at this moment.

As he waved it, a gust of cold wind was brought up!

"Bang!"

In the blink of an eye, the green long blade heavily fell down, bringing with it an unparalleled momentum as it crashed onto the large shield that was engraved with the shape of a tree root.

The surrounding people only heard a clang sound. In the next moment, a fierce wave of air was raised from the clash between the blade and the shield, blowing the surrounding examinees until they swayed.

At this moment, when they looked at the young man named Han Cheng, their faces turned slightly pale, and the huge shield was even dented.

The huge rebounding force caused him to retreat seven to eight steps back, and he finally stopped at the edge of the assessment platform.

However, the effect of force was mutual. After the middle-aged man slashed down, both of his hands were also shocked to the point of numbness. At the same time, he looked at the slightly damaged shield with a shocked expression.

What he was holding in his hand was a piece of Premium-grade equipment, the Triple-cut Blade. It was extremely powerful. Most armor below Premium grade would be completely destroyed if they could not withstand three slashes.

Moreover, Han Cheng in front of him was only using Rare-grade equipment. Logically, he should not be able to withstand the power of one of his slashes. However, he did not expect such an outcome.

"Hu... Hu."

Han Cheng straightened his body with a pale face and returned to his original position weakly.

At that moment, the students who were waiting below the stage immediately clapped happily. The teachers from the judging panel by the side also showed admiration in their eyes.

Han Cheng, who was standing on the assessment platform, not only had extraordinary courage, but his strength was also not weak. He had even given the other students a good start.

Many people directly gave him nine points, and the three judges also gave him points.

In the end, Han Cheng's overall defense score was eight points.

It was higher than the scores of all the previous examinees.

The principal chuckled and said a few words of encouragement, then moved on to the next person.

With Han Cheng's good start, more and more people gradually chose to challenge four-star cultivators.
