The results were released.
Luo Pei, who already knew his score, purposely ate a bowl of starch jelly nearby when he arrived at the school gates, delaying himself for a while. Only when there were more people looking at the results did he walk in.
"There should be a lot of people looking at me with envy, right?"
Luo Pei was so pleased with himself that the corners of his lips curled up.
I'm really awesome!
Sun Mo?
Who was he?
Let him come, I can smash him with one hand!
Luo Pei's ego swelled. He felt that no matter how strong Sun Mo was, he would at most be on the same level as him. Everyone would still be on the same starting line.
Sure enough, just as Luo Pei walked to the front of the school building, before he could even get close to the bulletin board with the results on it, the group of people below saw him and immediately surrounded him.
"Master Luo, congratulations on getting full marks!"
"This result is really amazing!"
"I believe Master Luo will soon become a Grandmaster!"
Everyone was complimenting him, especially those who had a chance to pass. They were all chatting and getting to know each other. In the future, everyone would be in the same batch.
Luo Pei casually replied. He wanted to go over and take a look at Sun Mo's results, but there were too many people and he couldn't get away. Hence, he could only ask others.
"Everyone, how's Teacher Sun's result?"
Whoosh!
Everyone quietened down.
Luo Pei's heart skipped a beat, and he was overjoyed. "What? You didn't do well? "
"Also full marks!"
Everyone was a little embarrassed. After all, everyone had boasted that a perfect score was unparalleled on Earth and rare in the heavens. In the end, there was still one more, so it was somewhat embarrassing.
"Ugh!"
Luo Pei was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. Since it was full marks, why were you guys so quiet?
You made me happy for nothing!
Luo Pei was in a bad mood, and was just about to leave when he turned his head and saw an old man standing not too far away from the notice board, resting with his eyes closed.
"Eh? Isn't this Grandmaster Chao Cuo Chao? "
Luo Pei's spirits were lifted. He wanted to go over to greet him and ask a few questions, but he stopped after taking two steps.
I don't dare!
What if Grandmaster Chao is deep in thought and I disturb him? Wouldn't that be offensive?
Luo Pei's worry was not without reason. When the younger generation met the older generation, they all had this kind of uneasy mentality.
Just when Luo Pei was feeling conflicted, Sun Mo came.
The crowd gathered around again, so that there were only two or three kittens left beside Luo Pei, and looking at their expressions, they also wanted to go over.
The reason why they didn't leave now was purely because there were too many people around Sun Mo. Even if they went over, they wouldn't be able to get close to Sun Mo.
"Bah, a bunch of bootlickers!"
Luo Pei couldn't bear to see this. He was angry and prepared to leave. In the end, he discovered that Grandmaster Chao had already moved.
"Teacher Sun, can I have a word with you?"
Because there were too many people in the surroundings, Chao Cuo used Lingering Sound in order to let Sun Mo hear his words.
Whoosh!
The crowd quietened down and hurriedly bowed in greeting. But just as they opened their mouths, Chao Cuo interrupted them.
"Don't stand on ceremony."
Chao Cuo didn't care about these empty courtesies.
"You are …"
Sun Mo was puzzled. This person was wearing a great teacher attire. Although there were no stars embroidered on his chest, from the attitude of these people, it was clear that his background wasn't simple.
"I am Chao Cuo. In the field of refining, I have some knowledge!"
Chao Cuo humbly introduced himself.
He didn't want to say that he was an ancestor because that would make him seem too arrogant. However, he couldn't be too humble either. Otherwise, Sun Mo might look down on him and not converse with him.
All of a sudden, Chao Cuo recalled how he had lived so cautiously in the past. It was only until he became an ancestor that he didn't need to care about what others thought of him.
But today, he experienced it again.
However, Chao Cuo didn't have any complaints. Leaving aside the fact that Sun Mo had shown great foresight in his answers, just Sun Mo's title as the number one expert in spirit runes in the Nine Provinces alone was worthy of his respect.
"Greetings to Teacher Chao. I wonder what advice do you have for me?"
Sun Mo didn't know that Chao Cuo was the main examiner.
"I wish to treat Teacher Sun to a meal and discuss some technical points regarding spiritual weapons!"
Chao Cuo revealed a kind smile. This was the direction of his current research.
Hua ~
Upon seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd was in a commotion. Was Grandmaster Chao being too humble? Moreover, Sun Mo was a newbie who hadn't even obtained the title of a grandmaster. What qualifications did he have to discuss with you?
"I'm not very familiar with this!"
Sun Mo's time was so tight and he didn't want to waste it.
"Teacher Sun must be joking. Your answers gave me great inspiration and allowed me to enter a state of enlightenment for three days. I've gained a little, so I shamelessly waited here, hoping to consult you in more detail!"
After saying this, Chao Cuo bowed, thanking Sun Mo for his help.
Wow!
Everyone exclaimed in shock. They didn't expect there to be such a reason!
"Alright then!"
Sun Mo nodded.
"This way please!"
Chao Cuo immediately led the way.
"..."
Luo Pei, who had witnessed everything, was completely dumbfounded. He didn't expect Grandmaster Chao to wait here because he wanted to consult Sun Mo!
This...
Luo Pei felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.
"I originally thought that both Teacher Luo and Teacher Sun scored full marks and that there shouldn't be a clear winner. But from the looks of it now, Teacher Sun scored full marks because there were only so many marks on the examination paper!"
An examinee exclaimed.
"That's not right. Even if both of them scored full marks, there's still a difference in their scores. Didn't you see Grandmaster Chao personally coming to meet Sun Mo? Clearly, it's because Teacher Sun's answers were too outstanding. "
"This fellow really doesn't want to give others a way out."
Luo Pei's countenance grew increasingly unsightly when he heard the discussions of these people.
(No, I mustn't be discouraged. There's still the actual combat examination. I still have a chance to turn things around.)
...
The reason why the Saint Gate chose the Coiling Dragon Academy as the examination venue for the weaponsmithing grandmaster was because this school had more powerful teachers in this field. They also had complete facilities.
They had a total of 12 weaponsmithing rooms, allowing 36 examinees to take the examination at the same time.
The # 7 weaponsmithing room was Sun Mo's examination venue.
"There are two plans, you guys can choose yourselves!"
The examiner passed a list of items to the three of them. However, his gaze was still on Sun Mo, wanting to know what he planned to do.
The other two examinees didn't speak. They were just looking at Sun Mo.
"I want to forge my own work!"
Sun Mo rapidly scanned through the list. Very good, everything he needed was here.
In truth, Sun Mo didn't plan to forge weapons that were too high-end. If not, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if he left them for the Saint Gate? This time around, he was flaunting his' concept '.
The examiner's eyes brightened and he couldn't help but smile. "Then I'll be looking forward to Teacher Sun's work!"
After saying that, he realized that his attitude wasn't right. It would cause people to suspect that he was cheating. Hence, he hurriedly coughed twice to conceal his loss of composure.
Sun Mo didn't waste any words. Under the supervision of the assistant examiner, he chose the materials and started to forge the weapon.
The standard of a weaponsmith could be seen with a single glance once they actually did it.
The grade of the work was a standard. However, what mattered the most was the weaponsmithing abilities that the examinees displayed.
Many weaponsmiths had some private techniques that they needed to keep a secret.
According to the rules, after the examinees were searched, they would enter the weaponsmithing room and wouldn't be allowed to come out during the three days of the examination.
However, experts at the divine force realm and above could persist for many days even if they didn't eat or drink. Hence, this was a small problem.
The crux was how to keep it a secret!
The Saint Gate stipulated that when a weaponsmith was about to complete a crucial step, they could request for the examiners to temporarily leave.
Sun Mo's written examination results were so good that he naturally attracted the attention of many examiners. Every few days, they would use the excuse of patrolling to come to the # 7 weaponsmithing room to take a look at Sun Mo's skills. After taking a look, they didn't feel like leaving anymore.
What was Sun Mo doing?
It wasn't a blade or a spear, nor was it a sword or a halberd. Its shape was unbelievably strange.
Could it be that it was an imitation of some kind of secret treasure of darkness?
The examiners looked toward Chao Cuo, but they discovered that he was also baffled.
"However, his skills are truly superb!"
Sun Mo's operation was extremely smooth and natural. He was like a worker who had worked in an assembly line for 50 years. He wouldn't make a mistake even if he closed his eyes.
Sun Mo was forging a spirit rune pistol. After spending an entire day forging the various components of the pistol, he started to inscribe spirit runes.
"Teacher Sun, should we go out and wait?"
Chao Cuo asked out of politeness. He thought that Sun Mo had forgotten.
The other examiners also spoke up, indicating that they wanted to avoid arousing suspicion. In truth, their eyes were staring at the components in Sun Mo's hands, wanting nothing more than to get closer to observe them.
No one wanted to miss such a crucial step.
"There's no need!"
Sun Mo calmly replied with three words.
Chao Cuo was stunned. After that, he smiled bitterly. He was being looked down upon!
Sun Mo's meaning was clearly 'You can look at it however you want. If you can secretly learn my secret, consider it my loss!'
Not long later, the spirit runes on the gun were completed.
BOOM!
Spirit qi gushed forth frenziedly, channeling into the spirit runes.
The ten examiners who were spectating immediately felt deep veneration.
Just this move of Sun Mo's was enough to prove that his identity as an ancestor was well-deserved.
After that, Sun Mo completed the construction of the gun.
"Beautiful!"
No one had seen a weapon like a pistol before, but that wasn't important. Just by looking at the beautiful spirit runes on the exterior, the distinct edges, the iron-blooded aura, and the carbonized black texture, it could be considered a work of art.
Chao Cuo had wanted to ask what this was.
However, when he saw that Sun Mo was still busy and didn't seem to be done, he hurriedly shut his mouth. At the same time, he even glared at the examiners nearby.
"All of you, get out!"
(Damn it, why aren't you guys invigilating the exam? What are you guys doing here?)
The examiners couldn't do anything. They couldn't afford to offend Chao Cuo and could only leave.
Two hours later, Sun Mo had created 15 rounds of bullets, and all of them were inscribed with spirit runes.
"It's done!"
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He took out his pocket watch and glanced at it. He discovered that one and a half days had passed.
"Teacher Sun, what weapon is this?"
Chao Cuo couldn't wait any longer and immediately asked.
"Spirit rune pistol, my invention!"
Sun Mo smiled and finished loading the bullets. "Where are we going to test the weapon?"
"The testing ground!"
Chao Cuo led the way.
'A' grade schools like this would all have specialized testing grounds.
"I really want to see the prowess of that weapon!"
"Sigh, I've failed again. F * ck, how would I have the mood to forge a weapon when I'm in the same examination hall as Sun Mo? My mind is only filled with admiration for his operation! "
The two examinees in the same weaponsmithing room grumbled. In the end, after exchanging a glance, they left the room in unison and ran toward the testing ground.
They decided to give up on the exam.
In any case, they could still take the exam next year. But if they missed Sun Mo's experiment, they probably wouldn't have a chance to see it again in this lifetime.
