Part 3
The most impressive part wasn’t just that he could manufacture a weapon in a short time, but that he could use a mere Grade Four weapon to stand out among high-level ones and become one of the ten highest-scoring entries.
One student marveled, “Among the ten best weapons, our academy is the only one from the Ten Great Military Academies with a student entry chosen!”
“And this only selected student is actually participating anonymously.”
While everyone guessed who the person could be, they didn’t hold back on using the most exaggerated praises for him.
It could almost be said that because of this record, Participant A13167 had become a celebrity at Fanse Academy.
Without a doubt, this achievement brought great glory to the academy.
Walking through the campus, Yun Yingzhi felt like he was walking on air, with praises coming at him from all directions.
According to the schedule, the appraisal would begin at 9:30 AM. The first weapon to be appraised was the Grade Four weapon made by A13167.
The entire Source Weapon Manufacturing Department canceled classes to watch the live stream together.
The Combat Department students had classes, but they had no heart for them and only wanted to secretly watch the stream.
Rumor had it that some Combat Department classes had already stopped to watch the broadcast with their teachers.
Meanwhile, on the other end.
As a soldier with a military rank, Jin Taichu didn’t want anyone to recognize him.
Wearing a hat and mask, he entered the testing ground provided by the competition at 9:00 AM as required.
Besides him, the other warriors responsible for testing the other weapons had also arrived, and they greeted each other.
The staff handed the Grade Four weapon to Jin Taichu and explained the details to him.
Looking at the exterior, it was a standardized model, but inside was a lifelike little rabbit inscription.
Seeing the rabbit, Jin Taichu thought of Yun Yingzhi’s second form and smiled, finding it incredibly cute.
The staff said with a smile, “We have already appraised this weapon. I am handing the results to you now. You can ask the manufacturer for any details we might have missed.”
Soon, Jin Taichu received the data for the weapon.
Upon seeing it, he was shocked.
He knew that for a Grade Four weapon to stand out from so many competitors, its quality must be very good. But reading the records, he realized just how good it was.
It could almost be said that, as far as attack-type source weapons went, this was the highest quality Grade Four weapon he had ever seen.
Jin Taichu, who had no idea that Yun Yingzhi could actually make Grade Eight weapons if his luck was good, thought to himself: In a few years, when Yingzhi can make Grade Eight weapons, it would be great if he could make one for me too.
He had already been curious about the effects of the weapons Yingzhi gave his brother, but now he was even more curious.
There was a group chat among Jin Taichu, Yun Yinghui, and their friends.
Jin Taichu: [I’ve arrived at the testing ground.]
Along with the message, he took a photo of the weapon to show everyone.
Someone in the group said: [The exterior is very plain.]
Nan Gongqing: [Standardized appearance. It’s very common.]
Jin Taichu then sent the list of skills for the Grade Four weapon.
Jin Taichu: [This is the appraisal record the organizers gave me. I finally understand why it was selected.]
Nan Gongqing: [Our little Yingzhi is so impressive.]
Jia Qingwan: [Shocking!]
Immediately after, everyone began pestering Yun Yinghui, asking him why they never knew his brother had this kind of talent.
While they were attacking Yun Yinghui, Jin Taichu contacted Yun Yingzhi.
It was 9:10 AM, exactly when Yun Yingzhi should have been in class.
Yun Yingzhi secretly opened his terminal to check the private message.
Jin Taichu: [Yingzhi, I’ve just reached the testing ground.]
Yun Yingzhi: [Brother, thank you for your hard work!]
Jin Taichu sent him the appraisal results and asked: [The test starts at 9:30. Look at the record—are there any skills that were missed?]
On the other end, Yun Yingzhi looked at the data. All his thoughts had been on pulling wool back then, and he had no memory of the weapon he had haphazardly finished in those final moments.
After a moment, he replied: [Brother, I don’t remember. Can you take a detailed picture of the inscriptions for me? I’ll try to guess.]
Jin Taichu: “…”
He was momentarily speechless. As expected, Yun Yingzhi really hadn’t put much heart into it when he made this weapon.
And yet, such a low-effort weapon was apparently very powerful.
Jin Taichu followed the request and sent a set of photos.
Soon, based on the inscriptions, Yun Yingzhi told him the results. Finally, he added: [Actually, for this kind of multi-inscription combined skill, I usually make a connection to make it easier for the warrior to activate instantly. But I was in such a rush then, fearing I’d run out of time, that I missed the final details. That’s probably why the organizers missed it.]
Jin Taichu thought that if Yun Yingzhi had paid just a bit more attention to the details, this weapon might not have been the first of the ten to be tested.
However, he also thought that if an ordinary warrior were responsible for testing it, they might not have been able to perfectly display its strongest attack skill.
He praised Yun Yingzhi and sent a message to the group chat: [The weapons Yingzhi made will give you even more surprises.]
Amidst the questions in the group, the staff reminded Jin Taichu to enter the testing ground to begin the appraisal for the tenth-ranked weapon.
He pulled down his hat and followed the staff into the arena.
The First Testing Ground was an open-air arena. In the front were eighteen testing mannequins.
Floating in the sky were various demon-shaped live-stream drones, circling the arena to film every corner.
A woman in uniform said, “We will now begin the appraisal of the tenth-ranked source weapon from the preliminaries.”
“Before we begin, I will give a brief introduction.”
“Its manufacturer is a student of Fanse Academy, Participant A13167. It is also the only weapon among the top ten made by a current student. It is a Grade Four weapon with six internal inscriptions.”
“Now, please welcome the warrior invited by Participant A13167 to test this weapon.”
As she spoke, the camera moved to Jin Taichu, and the testing phase began.
All testing mannequins entered Grade Four testing mode.
The test started, and Jin Taichu used the first skill.
The pleasant voice of the announcer reached everyone’s ears: “This is the first skill contained within the weapon—an area-of-effect skill.”
“Participant A13167 did not name it, so we have temporarily named it: First Skill, Sword Qi Circle.”
“With the warrior as the center, layers of sword qi spread outward. What’s unique is that the strength of this area skill is determined by the amount of energy the warrior provides.” After a pause, she added, “In other words, theoretically, if the warrior provides enough energy, the strongest attack of this area skill can exceed the Grade Four limit and reach Grade Five levels.”
“Of course, this is data based on our appraisal. However, using this method to launch a beyond-Grade-Four attack consumes a lot of energy. Unless facing a group of experts, otherwise…”
Suddenly, the testing mannequins issued the same notification one after another.
[Grade Four limit exceeded. Please switch to the next level testing mode.]
[Grade Four limit exceeded. Please switch to the next level testing mode.]
…
Announcer: “…”
The crowd: “…”
Everyone watching the live stream: “…”
