Blacksmith: You Are Making Mjolnir For The Forging Exam? Chapter 275 - 275 Penetration Effect

Chapter 275 - 275 Penetration Effect

275 Penetration Effect

“The equipment I’ve forged is called Cloud Breaker. Although the weapon’s total weight is only 1.5 kg, it’s very handy. It can be wielded at an extremely high speed, and has the effect of slowing down the enemy, slowing down the enemy’s healing, and ignoring 40% of the enemy’s defense!”

After the blacksmith spoke in a very confident tone, the helper below the stage immediately pushed a smaller rectangular platform up.

There was fur of a Rank 6 Razor Bull on the platform.

“Next, I will demonstrate to everyone this sword’s ability to ignore defense.”

The blacksmith lifted the Razor Bull’s fur on the table, revealing an iron ingot hidden inside.

When the many cultivators saw this, they could not help but feel shocked.

The Rank 6 Razor Bull’s fur was as hard as heavy armor. Sometimes, it would be difficult for even bullets to penetrate it. If such a guy appeared on the battlefield, it would take at least two six-star cultivators to kill him.

Now, the young man holding the sword was going to penetrate the iron ingot below through the Razor Bull’s hide. It was simply a delusion!

One should know that the hardness of an ordinary iron ingot was at least around 50. To cut it open, the sharpness and hardness of the blade had to be good.

That was why people used the idiom “cutting iron like it was mud” to describe its sharpness.

After all, the quality of the weapon had to be high to cut it open.

However, the young blacksmith on the stage not only had to penetrate the iron ingot with his sword, but he also had cut through the Razor Bull’s hide, which was a fool’s dream.

The reason why the Razor Bull was difficult to kill was because of its amazing defensive ability. Its outer skin was as hard as heavy armor. Unless it was a Legendary-grade weapon, it would be difficult to penetrate it, not to mention penetrating the iron ingot through the rough Razor Bull hide.

Other than a small number of cultivators who had seen the power of such penetration, most people felt that it was impossible.

Hearing the people’s criticism in the distance, the young blacksmith’s mouth showed a trace of disdain. He clenched the sword in his hand, raised it high, and brought it down abruptly!

Many people immediately widened their eyes and stretched their necks to see if the blacksmith would succeed.

Wu Mo’s interest was also piqued. He felt that the sword’s quality was not ordinary.

Before the crowd’s watchful eyes, the sharp tip of the young man’s sword immediately collided with the Razor Bull’s fur.

With a clang, the Epic-grade longsword was actually sent flying by the thick fur. It clattered as it fell not far from the young man.

“As expected!”

Seeing this, many of the cultivator leaders could not help shaking their heads in disappointment.

Chattering voices echoed in the audience.

However, there was still a small group of people who were still staring at the stage, looking at some white spots on the fur thoughtfully.

“It appears to have succeeded.”

Wu Mo frowned and suddenly muttered to himself a moment later.

“Huh? This worked?” Bald Eagle, who was sitting on his right, asked subconsciously as he was shocked.

“That’s impossible! I didn’t even see any damage on the Razor Bull’s hide!”

Lone Wolf was puzzled too, and he looked at Wu Mo curiously.

“As the name suggests, the armor’s ignore function can directly nullify a part of the enemy’s defense. The damage caused will directly penetrate the armor, fur, and other defensive means, causing some damage to the target. As long as it hits, it will be considered a success.”

Wu Mo immediately shared his opinion, and Bald Eagle, as well as Lone Wolf, finally understood after listening to him.

“I didn’t expect this equipment to have such an overpowering effect. It can nullify part of its opponent’s defense. Doesn’t that mean that once I’m attacked, I’ll take part of the damage for sure?”

Bald Eagle’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new continent. His face was full of astonishment.

Although Lone Wolf did not say anything, his eyes were full of surprise too. It seemed that he had never heard of such an effect.

“That’s right. But there are ways to counter equipment with the penetration effect, namely s.h.i.+eld-type effects or damage immunity. If you’re fast enough, you can also dodge all attacks. As long as you don’t get hit, you won’t be affected.”

Wu Mo smiled slightly. He had a.s.sumed that everyone knew this. He did not think that a powerful cultivator like Bald Eagle would not even know such basic knowledge.

“I’ve learned a lot.” Lone Wolf nodded and said with a serious face.

After the three of them finished their conversation, the young blacksmith on the display stage picked up his sword with a calm expression.

It was as if he had expected this to happen.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to walk off the stage with his tail between his legs, they saw him reach out and grab a corner of the Razor Bull’s fur and flip it over.

Under the thick fur, there was an obvious stab mark at the center of the fist-sized iron block!

The stab mark was about five centimeters deep, and it was extremely glaring on the smooth surface of the iron ingot.

At this sight, many of the leaders, who had thought it was impossible, suddenly opened their mouths in shock.

They looked just like Bald Eagle who had heard Wu Mo’s explanation on the penetration effect.

The equipment worn by the soldiers on the front lines was either of Premium or Epic grade.

The effects of the equipment also increased attack power or increased basic attributes such as speed. Even if the quality of their equipment was better, it could only increase perception, slow the enemy, or add a poison effect.

After all, that was ma.s.s produced equipment. Equipment with runes and arrays were rare because they would slow down the speed of ma.s.s production.

As for damage immunity, s.h.i.+eld, invisibility, penetration, and other effects, they were even more unheard of.

Hence, when the young blacksmith on the stage demonstrated the sword’s penetrating effect, he managed to surprise a large number of soldiers.

However, in the eyes of many blacksmiths, although its penetrating effect could be great in actual combat, it was far from shocking.

On the stage, after receiving a large number of shocked gazes, the young blacksmith immediately placed the weapon back in his backpack with the s.p.a.ce-folding effect.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the three judges who were not far away, waiting quietly.

The three people whispered a few words to each other in their seats. Everyone was also looking forward to what kind of comments this blacksmith’s work would get.

After a while, Song Yi, who was sitting on the left, spoke as their representative. “This sword called Cloud Breaker… In terms of quality, the equipment’s additional effects are quite good. I admit it’s a clever idea.

“However, due to the limitations of the sword’s attack method, its main attack method is stabbing. The role of swinging is greatly reduced, so it can only be used in certain offensive situations. Thus, our evaluation is, ‘good.'”
