“We Interrupt this broadcast with a new report from China’s Divine Arms Academy. At 8.10 am today, our country’s brilliant Divine Arms blacksmith, Han Feng, successfully forged a Divine-grade Armor. As a result, the blacksmith, Han Feng, has broken a new record in China, becoming the youngest Seven-star blacksmith in history. ”
“As for the specific attributes of this Divine-grade Armor, there is little information for now. However, the appearance of this Divine Armor is enough to prove that our country has led the world in the field of forging for a long time!”
“Next, let’s invite the Divine Arms Academy’s associate professor to tell us more…”
An ear-piercing sound woke Wu Mo from his dazed state.
He felt a swelling pain in his head as if he had not completely digested his new memories.
Images flashed through his mind like a slide, and only then did he understand his current situation.
Combining the memories in his mind, Wu Mo was surprised to find that he had actually transmigrated.
Moreover, he had transmigrated to a world similar to Earth.
The culture, history, and technology of this world were all very similar to those of Earth.
But due to a disaster a few hundred years ago, this blue planet had embarked on a development path that was completely different from Earth’s!
Wu Mo learned about everything thanks to the additional memories in his mind.
Ever since the disaster occurred, there had been obvious changes on the blue planet.
Numerous supernatural events occurred, and spirit energy gradually grew, completely changing the world’s entire development within a few hundred years!
Later, the spirit energy eventually became abundant, and countless cultivators appeared.
However, this also attracted the covetous eyes of alien races beyond their skies. In just ten years after the spirit energy appeared, the blue planet was invaded by ten thousand races!
In the new era, only cultivators could contend with the alien races.
Unfortunately, because there were very few cultivators, when humans faced the invasion of ten thousand races, innumerable people were killed or injured. As a result, the various factions had no choice but to form an alliance, and in the end, they barely managed to resist the first invasion.
After this battle, everyone realized the importance of cultivators. In order to resist the alien races, the different countries did their best to nurture their countrymen into cultivators. The entire structure of the world had changed.
Even so, it was extremely difficult to become a cultivator. One needed to absorb a large amount of spirit energy that was scattered in the air.
Be that as it may, it was impossible to do so with just one’s physical body. One had to rely on weapons to absorb the spirit energy of heaven and earth for cultivation.
Ordinary people could only become cultivators with powerful special weapons.
A weapon’s strength was directly linked to the speed at which it absorbed spirit energy. As a result, countless cultivators would spend their entire lives obtaining stronger Divine Weapons.
Meanwhile, Divine Weapons appeared precisely because of the disaster that had happened a few hundred years ago.
The outbreak of the disaster had formed a huge sinkhole on the ground. So, officials organized personnel to explore it and discovered many powerful Divine Weapons in the sinkhole.
However, the number of Divine Weapons in the sinkhole was limited. In the end, only a few hundred cultivators were created during the ten years of spirit energy recovery. Later, the invasion of the ten thousand races presented a life-and-death situation. Only then did the various factions begin to actively develop Divine Weapons that could absorb spirit energy.
Those who could create special weapons were called blacksmiths.
With the existence of blacksmiths, many cultivators were finally developed on the blue planet.
Despite that, after a hundred years, the number of blacksmiths remained extremely low.
Due to the extremely high threshold and talent required, the profession of blacksmiths became even more precious than cultivators!
Nonetheless, after the country’s vigorous promotion of development, the fields related to forging became increasingly formal. Blacksmith training academies all over the country appeared like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.
The blacksmith system was gradually divided into different grades from low to high. There were basically One-star to Nine-star blacksmiths.
The higher the star rank, the stronger the blacksmith. Above that were Moonlight, Sun Wheel, and other more powerful titles.
Up until now, Three-star or Four-star blacksmiths were quite rare. Usually, only a small portion of people in an academy could reach that level.
As for Seven-star and above blacksmiths, they were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Those who possessed the “Moonlight” and “Sun Wheel” titles did not even seem to exist in Wu Mo’s memory.
The original owner of his body had been a blacksmith who studied in the largest Divine Armament academy in China.
The previous owner of this body was extremely talented. When he was young, he passed the test to become a blacksmith. After entering the Divine Armament academy, his achievements were outstanding.
At the age of twelve, he became a One-star blacksmith. Following that, he advanced and became a Four-star blacksmith, becoming a genius whom everyone in the academy looked up to!
But the path of a genius was filled with thorns.
Later on, to fulfill his childhood dream, this predecessor of his vowed to forge the strongest Divine Weapon, the Peerless Sword. He borrowed money from others and went into seclusion to forge it at home.
Sadly, not only did he run out of money, but he also became clouded with his obsession and lost all his forging abilities. He was not even on a One-star level at that point.
In the end, he passed away suddenly at home from mental and physical exhaustion. He died with regrets!
Feeling the swelling pain in his mind dissipate a lot, Wu Mo slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the messy single dormitory in front of him, he felt the despair of his predecessor.
“The strongest Divine Weapon? Spirit energy? Even though I transmigrated from Earth, I won’t be able to do all of that.”
Standing up from the couch, Wu Mo muttered to himself and immediately entered the dorm’s bathroom.
As Wu Mo looked at himself in the mirror, everything felt very real to him.
His predecessor in the mirror looked exactly like him.
Even the mole on their necks and the scar on their collarbones were identical.
Wu Mo’s predecessor on the blue planet was identical to him in the parallel world.
After discovering this information, Wu Mo frowned slightly.
He washed his face and returned to the messy living room.
The table in front of the couch was filled with miscellaneous items, including the design blueprints used by his predecessor.
In a month’s time, they would graduate. Every student of the Divine armament academy had to submit a final-year design blueprint to prove their forging ability.
However, his predecessor had been forging the Divine Weapon of his dreams before his sudden death. He was completely unprepared for his final year design!
Not only did his predecessor not complete the assignment, but he also owed a huge debt of over two million. To Wu Mo who had just transmigrated, this was the beginning of hell.
Looking at the mess in front of him, Wu Mo’s face was full of worry.
Just as he looked at the ceiling with a blank face, a clear voice suddenly rang in his mind!
[Ding! State of despair detected in host spirit. The Divine Blacksmith System is initiating the binding process.
[Ding! The binding has been successful. You have received a Beginner Pack. Would you like to activate it now?]
The sudden voice gave Wu Mo a fright, but soon, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
Wu Mo, who grew up on Earth, was a ten-year-old bookworm, so he was familiar with the system.
Once he heard the system, Wu Mo immediately understood that his cheat code had arrived!
