Zhao Lu frowned slightly. He had already made several trips over this matter, and his curiosity had been completely piqued.

Yet, the princ.i.p.al was asking him to wait for a while. How could he suppress the excitement in his heart?

Ultimately, however, he was the mayor, and his way of handling matters was different from that of ordinary people.

Zhao Lu thought about it for a moment. That combined with what the princ.i.p.al had said earlier made sense to him. He could not let his impulsiveness ruin the matter.

Since that occurred to him, he stopped and turned his head to look at the old princ.i.p.al.

“Princ.i.p.al, do you have any good ideas?”

Hearing the mayor’s slightly sarcastic words, the princ.i.p.al knew that the mayor was a little unhappy thanks to his obstruction.

However, he was not worried because the moment the Divine weapon’s aura was detected by his compa.s.s, he had already thought of a better idea!

“Mayor, don’t worry. My idea will definitely satisfy you.

“Won’t the Divine Arms Academy’s annual graduation a.s.sessment be held in a few days? At that time, all the students who are preparing to graduate from the academy will partic.i.p.ate in the graduation design a.s.sessment.

“The student who designed and forged the Divine weapon will definitely display the item. When that happens, won’t you be able to tell who forged the Divine weapon?”

Hearing the princ.i.p.al clearly state the solution to the problem, the mayor nodded his head in satisfaction.

“Alright, then. I’ll leave this matter to you, Princ.i.p.al. I’ll stay in the Divine Arms Academy for a few days, just in time to admire the splendor of your inst.i.tution.”

“Hahaha, no problem.”

The princ.i.p.al agreed with a smile. The urgency to search for the Divine weapon gradually subsided for now.

However, those who had experienced such a phenomenon before were all looking forward to it.

They did not know which student was so fierce as to forge a Divine weapon.

For a time, different versions of the legend appeared on the academy’s forums.

When it came to the existence of the Divine artifact, the students came up with a list of several people who could have done it.

The students’ discussions were logical, but the more they talked about it, the more mysterious it became.

There was the version where the experts gave pointers, there was also a cliff adventure, or the person directly crossed over to the future to bring back the Divine artifact. All in all, everything sounded plausible.

The matter also covered the upcoming graduation design a.s.sessment with a layer of mystery.

Meanwhile, the person who started the whole thing was still sleeping soundly in his dormitory.

Wu Mo had gone to the stargazing platform to collect the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lightning at midnight.

With that, he had successfully completed the refinement and forged a Quasi-divine weapon.

He was so excited that he could not sleep the whole night. He did not fall asleep until it was almost daytime.

Fortunately, only a few people knew about his actions yesterday. Aside from Jiang Mengyao and Professor Zhou Yan, only the guard who was still on duty in the security room was left.

There were only two days left until the graduation a.s.sessment.

Most of the students in the Divine Arms Academy had already completed their design, and the curriculum had become much more relaxed. Students could be seen everywhere on the field, having a leisurely time.

Over these two days, Wu Mo had been in the forging s.p.a.ce, training his ability to draw arrays because he had already finished his work.

Every day, he would either be in the library or in his dormitory.

Although his strength had not increased by much, Wu Mo had used these two days to complete the theoretical knowledge that the arrays lacked.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the graduation a.s.sessment.

Early in the morning, the Divine Arms Academy became the only place in Shanglin City that attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people.

News and reports related to the graduation a.s.sessment were constantly flooding the front pages of various websites.

A compet.i.tive atmosphere followed. The students of the Divine Arms Academy were all rubbing their fists and preparing to face the most important point in their lives!

They had studied in the field of forging for more than ten years just for this most important moment.

If they could obtain good results in the design a.s.sessment, they would definitely be able to soar to the heavens in the future and reach the highest peak in life.

If they failed, they would be waiting for a tragic result.

Those who could not meet the standards would either be sent to the foundry and live a better life than ordinary people, or their foundry skills would be useless, and they would be no different from ordinary people!

Therefore, regardless of their usual results, all the students were fully focused as they waited for the commencement of the graduation a.s.sessment at noon.

At that moment, Mayor Zhao Lu was sitting in a carriage and rus.h.i.+ng to the a.s.sessment’s venue ahead of schedule.

He had not been sleeping well for several days while waiting for this event.

He just wanted to see what the Divine artifact looked like and what kind of shocking effects it had.

However, the most important thing was to win over such talented people in advance.

It had been more than 100 years since the recovery of spirit energy, and countless talented people had appeared during that period.

Although there were very few strong people who could refine Divine weapons, the youngest one was at least 40 years old.

He had never heard of any student forging a Divine weapon.

Such talent could be considered unprecedented!

If he could be nurtured in advance, it would not be impossible for Shanglin City to develop into a super-first-tier city in the future.

With such a goal in mind, Zhao Lu hurried to the venue of the a.s.sessment.

As soon as he got off his carriage, the clerk immediately brought his things and followed him.

The venue for the graduation design a.s.sessment was very vast.

It occupied an area of more than 10,000 square meters. The venue was surrounded by white railings, and at the center was a grand hall that was very much in the western Gothic style.

The hall was surrounded by flower beds, fountains, pavilions, and paths. The scenery was unbearably beautiful.

The grand hall, which was located at the center of the auditorium, was solemn and simple. Just the buildings and decorations on the outside gave off a magnificent feeling.

Two or three white doves stopped at the top of the tower, and the sky was blue, like a meticulously designed oil painting.

“Mayor, the scenery here is really beautiful.”

The clerk carried Zhao Lu’s things and followed him from behind.

The two of them walked on the cobblestone path and listened to the spring water and the church bells. They could not help but feel relaxed and happy.

“The a.s.sessment is about to start soon. Be more alert.”

Zhao Lu took off his hat and quickly walked into the great hall.

It was 11.30 am.

Wu Mo and many students from the Divine Arms Academy sat on the horse carriage and arrived outside the great hall.

Before the commencement of the graduation a.s.sessment, the princ.i.p.al would hold the graduation ceremony in the great hall.

Only then could Wu Mo and the other students peek into the great hall’s interior.

The entire great hall sat facing the north and the south. The interior was octagonal in shape, and at the center was an open caisson-style grid gla.s.s. All four sides were engraved with different cla.s.sic oil paintings, and there were also quite a number of historical sites. The moment one entered the door, one would feel a solemn atmosphere.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, the voices of the people discussing became much quieter.

“Wow, this place is really grand. It’s really worth it to come to this place.”

“Its appearance is quite intimidating, but in an ancient building like this, with the flas.h.i.+ng of swords and sabers, aren’t you afraid of destroying the auditorium?”

The people in the same cla.s.s raised their heads to look around, and at the same time, voiced out the doubts in their hearts.

“Hehe, this place is very st.u.r.dy. Forget you guys, even a four-star cultivator can’t break it,” one of the young men wearing gold-rimmed gla.s.ses immediately replied with a sneer.
