Everyone was in awe. Right then, Academician Xu Wuyue also said, “Wu Mo, I lost my composure earlier and criticized you without understanding the situation. I was mistaken, and I hope that you can forgive me.”

When Xu Wuyue said that, Professor Liu, who was standing at the side feeling sorry for himself, felt a little surprised.

He did not expect Academician Xu to actually lower himself and apologize to Wu Mo in public. He could not help but admire his temperament.

“Academician Xu, actually, it’s not entirely your fault. My own actions were also somewhat improper. I should have explained this to you earlier.”

Wu Mo scratched his head in embarra.s.sment and replied with a smile.

To be honest, he did not have any hatred toward Academician Xu. After all, whether it was entering the Research Department or reading the master’s notes and related books in the internal reference room, it was all thanks to Academician Xu.

Plus, his skills had improved so quickly recently because he had absorbed the ideas of many master blacksmiths. That was indirectly due to Academician Xu’s contributions.

“Alright… From now on, I’ll pay attention to my words, as well as my actions, and strive to prevent such a thing from happening again.”

Xu Wuyue had a gratified look on his face.

Seeing Wu Mo nod his head earnestly, he changed the subject and started talking about the Invisibility Armor.

“On the matter of inspection, the armor that you’ve forged is outstanding. However, there are still some parts that can be improved, so strive to do better.

“For instance, the armor’s size. Due to the suit’s tailoring and size, it’s not suitable for all types of body shapes. Modifying the armor according to current international standard parameters should solve this issue wonderfully.”

Wu Mo listened attentively. In fact, he had also noticed the same problem when he was trying on the armor. However, at that time, he was only focused on making the test data better, so he did not pay attention to it.

“In addition, the invisibility function of this armor has a limitation. It can’t be used in all environments. The invisibility effect may be weaker in the dark or in places with poor lighting. Moreover, some monsters from the ten thousand races have additional detection abilities.”

Academician Xu placed his hands behind his back and spoke with confidence.

“There are, for example, a large number of blue-eyed snakes. Most of them have the Searing Gaze skill, which is similar to a thermal imaging function. They can lock onto enemies by sensing their temperature. Therefore, if this skill is used on the battlefield, it will pose a problem.”

When everyone heard Academician Xu’s words, they could not help but lament in their hearts. He was a true academician. In just a few minutes, Academician Xu had already seen the Invisibility Armor’s many shortcomings. Just that alone made it obvious how profound Academician Xu’s knowledge was.

After Wu Mo heard his points, he humbly said, “Alright, Academician Xu. I’ll definitely remember what you said. These mistakes were made mainly because the commission time was too short. If you can give me a few more days, I’ll definitely make up for each of these shortcomings.”

Professor Liu, who was standing at the side, could not help but sigh in his heart when he saw Wu Mo’s great att.i.tude and valuable academic research spirit. If only he had been a step faster and taken Wu Mo in as his last disciple…

“Yes, I understand. After all, this is your first time taking on a commission. You still need more relevant experience. Even so, this is only the improvement plan’s first draft. Down the road, you can definitely continue to improve and upgrade it. Furthermore, I was wrong earlier. The forging technology and effects of this Invisibility Armor are era-defining in the entire forging field. I believe that with your skills, you’ll definitely be able to bring this Invisibility Armor to a more perfect state. Come on!”

Academician Xu’s words completely expressed his recognition of Wu Mo’s strength.

Receiving Academician Xu’s personal commendation made Wu Mo feel a little emotional.

He felt a little emotional. He had only been in the Research Department for less than three months, yet the strength of his skills had increased quite a bit.

The Research Department was filled with people akin to dragons, so his accomplishment of such a feat pretty much showed that he did not let down Instructor Zhou and the Divine Arms Academy which had nurtured him for several years.

Everyone was extremely excited upon hearing Academician Xu’s high evaluation of Wu Mo. To be able to personally witness the creation of historic work made their partic.i.p.ation in the test this time worthwhile.

There was no doubt about the final result of the test.

Wei Lan quickly announced the results, and Wu Mo was in the well-deserved first place.

Zhou Ning unwittingly sighed in her heart as she stood at the side at looked at Wu Mo who resembled a dazzling star.

Two months ago, when she first met Wu Mo, she was amazed by his young age and wondered if it would be difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility.

Little did she expect that two months later, Wu Mo would perform better than everyone else, directly silencing all doubts.

The testing ended perfectly at this juncture.

Wei Lan made a note in his heart, planning to go back and tell his colleagues about what he had seen in the fifth Research Department.

Those old fellows who had spent half their lives on the battlefield would be highly interested in his findings.

Everyone set off and prepared to leave the test field.

After this test, they all had a clearer understanding of their own strength.

Feng Qi had suffered a setback in terms of air permeability. In the future, he would definitely be more focused on controlling the details of his work.

Although Lai Hua’s improvement plan was better, since the materials he used were too expensive, Wei Lan rejected it straight away. Next time, he would definitely be more realistic in terms of forging. Besides, his skills were not weak. If he accepted other commissions later, he would definitely be able to complete them better.

As for Chu Qingyan, he was the most outstanding member of the entire team apart from Wu Mo. Since he was Professor Tan’s last disciple, his design concept was more proficient than the others, and he also knew a lot of forging techniques. If Wu Mo had not been present at the test, he would have definitely become the most dazzling student.

However, the reality was, he was much dimmer than Wu Mo.

At the same time, he lost the opportunity to collaborate with Professor Liu.

After all, Wu Mo had completely caught professor Liu’s attention. In comparison, Chu Qingyan was no longer as important.

However, Wu Mo had won in an open and aboveboard manner, receiving everyone’s approval.

As such, despite Chu Qingyan’s dissatisfaction, his heart was still filled with admiration for Wu Mo.

He decided that in the future, he would not pay attention to anything other than his skills in the field of forging.

He would quadruple his efforts and definitely reach Wu Mo’s skill level in the future.

Feng Qi and Lai Hua simply looked at Wu Mo with respect in their eyes.

Gaining Minister Wei’s appreciation basically made him the envy of most of the members in the Research Department.

Everyone left one after another, and Zhou Ning departed from the testing field as well after reconfiguring the equipment.

Wei Lan signed his name on the test form and entered a high-level cultivator’s car. He left the fifth Research Department in a hurry.
