Chapter 276 - 276 Storm Ax
276 Storm Ax
Elder Song Yi’s comment hit the nail on the head. As a seven-star blacksmith, he directly pointed out the sword’s strengths and weaknesses without seeing it up close.
The blacksmiths standing on the stage were convinced.
“Thank you for your comment, Elder Song. I will definitely remember it.”
The young man bowed to Song Yi to express his gratitude before he quickly walked down the stage.
In the audience, a group of soldiers and leaders were somewhat confused. The penetrating attack was clearly powerful, but why did it only get a good evaluation?
Even if there were limitations to the attack method, the flaws did not seem to overshadow the advantages.
Although most of them were surprised by the evaluation, no one dared to question Elder Song’s judgment. In the forging field, Elder Song’s ability was 10,000 times better than that of theirs, the laymen.
The discussion in the audience gradually died down. At this time, a staff member in a gray uniform walked in Wu Mo’s direction and whispered a few words to him.
Bald Eagle’s expression was filled with vigilance and suspicion. After he saw the staff leave, he curiously asked, “What did that person say to you?”
“He said that I’m number 18 in the queue,” Wu Mo answered with a smile.
“Oh, then I’ll have to look forward to it. If you go on stage and demonstrate the Invisibility Armor and the laser sword, won’t you shock everyone?
“You’ll become the most handsome guy here straight away!”
Bald Eagle’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
After listening to his description, Wu Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. “There are many hidden talents in the White River province. There might be even more powerful equipment appearing. Before we see the best equipment, we should keep a low profile.”
“Alright,” Bald Eagle said.
He scratched his head, and Lone Wolf smirked, seeing his defeat.
Their conversation quickly came to an end.
His eighteenth placement was not too far back. Nevertheless, there were still more than a dozen people in front of him who wanted to show their works, and that gave Academician Xu time to prepare.
After all, the equipment display segment was the best place to show their equipment’s effects. The audience would not be able to see or feel how the equipment worked unless they directly displayed its advantages. Only then could others determine its quality.
The young man who had previously used the sword had carried out a perfect demonstration of his equipment, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of many.
Not long after, the next blacksmith went on stage.
Every blacksmith had three minutes to display their skills during the exhibition, so when the third blacksmith appeared, he began to introduce himself right away.
In just half a minute, he had given his name and the organization he was in.
What attracted everyone’s attention was the double-edged ax in his hand.
The two diamonds embedded in the long-handled ax were particularly eye-catching, and the overall shape of the weapon was smooth. The overhead light was reflected in the metal.
The ax was 140 centimeters in length, and the blade was about 30 centimeters in length. Circles of green vines were wrapped around the handle, giving it a mysterious feeling.
“It’s another weapon…”
Lone Wolf, who was sitting in his seat, frowned slightly. They had seen display of weapons three times in a row. Even if some were more outstanding than others, people would still get tired of looking at them.
“That’s normal. It’s difficult to forge weapons. A good weapon can often show the blacksmith’s powerful skills. Equipment rarely achieves such an effect.”
Bald Eagle shrugged, indicating that he was already used to it.
A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Mo’s mouth. He felt that the third blacksmith’s weapon was rather interesting. It was also of Epic grade, but he felt that the double-edged ax was better than the sword from before.
With anticipation in his heart, Wu Mo immediately said in his mind, ‘Appraise the attributes of the double-edged ax!’
[Equipment appraisal successful. A hundred points have been consumed. Remaining points: 277,249. The attributes of the appraised equipment is as follows:
[Equipment Type: Ax
[Equipment Name: Storm Ax.
[Equipment Grade: Epic
[System Score: 67
[Equipment Effect: 1. Gale (Swing speed increased by 60%)
[2. Sandstorm (Activates energy and releases a sandstorm area of 10 cubic meters, blinding all enemies within the area. Lasts for three minutes. Cooldown: Five hours.)
[3. Epic Power (Deals 15% speed reduction to a target and converts 3% of the damage dealt to spiritual force. The above effects stack by one with each hit. Can stack up to three times)
[Magic Array Effect: Tier 2 Tree Spirit Array (Healing speed increased by 300% for 60 seconds. Cooldown: 10 minutes)
[Equipment Evaluation: This is a double-edged ax with solid effects. It requires a lot of strength to swing it, but if you are proficient with axes, you can unleash its maximum effect. The more you fight, the braver you become in a long battle.]
The panel that was floating in the air gradually faded.
Wu Mo was surprised after learning about all the effects of the double-edged ax.
This ax had reached the standards for mass production. If it could be mass produced and given to cultivators skilled in ax techniques, it would definitely increase their strength by a lot.
It could even allow the cultivators to unleash double their battle power, especially in a long battle.
With the continuous healing and three layers of speed reduction, it would be extremely difficult for the enemy to escape.
If such an effect could be applied to more common weapons like sabers and swords, it should be able to display a greater value.
However, at the same time, Wu Mo began to worry about the young man on the exhibition stage. How was he going to show the effect of this weapon in front of everyone?
After all, it was difficult to distinguish the effects of wound recovery, speed reduction, and spirit energy recovery with the naked eye.
As time passed, everything went as Wu Mo had expected. The blacksmith only demonstrated the effect of the fast swing. Other useful effects could not be demonstrated in this way.
“The weapon isn’t anything special. It’s just a big ax that’s more agile.”
“It seems that this blacksmith doesn’t have any real skills. The three master blacksmiths definitely won’t give him a high evaluation.”
A few people not far away immediately began discussing, but Wu Mo’s lips curled into a smile.
Those cultivators naturally did not have the whole picture, so it was normal for them to make such simple arguments.
However, he believed that Elder Song and the other two seven-star cultivators would definitely be able to easily see the Storm Ax’s advantage.
In a few breaths, the young blacksmith had finished his demonstration. He stood straight on the spot and raised his head to look in three masters’ direction.
“You’re quite talented, and your thoughts, as well as ideas, are also unique. However, the name double-edged ax doesn’t sound good. Why don’t we call it the Storm Ax?”
Chen Yuansong, who was sitting in his seat, touched his beard and said thoughtfully.
“Thank you for the name, master!”
The young blacksmith was quite surprised, and he quickly bowed to thank him.
