Chapter 167 Bet, Assessment
"It seems...a bit familiar."
The man named Mu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mo Yu with a little coldness in his eyes, looking at the young man maliciously.
Hearing this, Mo Yu's brows suddenly condensed slightly. Although his disguise skills can be hidden from ordinary people, facing some alchemists or weapon refiners with strong soul power, some clues may be discerned from it.
Could it be that this guy figured out his identity?
"Okay, Mu Qing, stop using your tricks to pick up girls. This is my junior brother. I brought him here today to test him for a suitable weapon refiner level badge. I don't have time to bullshit you. ”
At this time, Lan Yingying held Mo Yu's arm tightly with her broad mind, and said angrily with her beautiful eyes.
"Junior brother?" Hearing Lan Yingying's introduction, Mu Qing and most of the weapon refiners present looked at Mo Yu, who was wearing simple clothes, in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary young man turned out to be President Lan Yingying's younger brother. This background made many people start to speculate.
As the president of the weapon refiner branch that parachuted into Beast Desolate City, Lan Yingying was not only powerful, but also had a mysterious origin. Many people speculated that she had a profound background behind her.
Now Mo Yu's arrival has made people speculate about who their teacher is.
Mu Qing was also stunned. Unlike ordinary people, he also had a large background, but he knew some about Lan Yingying's origins.
Behind the Weapon Refiner Branch, there is an even more powerful Weapon Alliance. The Weapon Alliance is not only headquartered in Zhongzhou, but also gathers 80% of the top Weapon Refiners in the continent. Lan Yingying’s teacher is a party within the Weapon Alliance. Boss.
Not only that, the Lan family behind Lan Yingying can also be regarded as a powerful party in Zhongzhou where there are many masters and strong men everywhere.
It was precisely because Lan Yingying had such a profound background and her fairy-like beauty that Mu Qing condescended to come to Beast Desolate City and serve as a small vice-president in order to pursue this girl.
However, Lan Yingying has always been very cold and even disgusted with his various advances.
Mu Qing, who did not give up, was ready to continue to impress the other party with his true feelings, but now an ambiguous junior brother was suddenly inserted, which made Mu Qing's face suddenly darken.
"He is actually the president's junior brother, how come I have never heard of him?"
Holding back the anger in his heart, Mu Qing looked at Mo Yudao with a fake smile.
For some reason, he vaguely felt as if he had seen the other person there, and the boy gave him a feeling of familiarity.
"Haha, junior Yu Mo is not from the Mulan Empire, so Vice President Mu probably doesn't know much about it."
Mo Yu quietly pulled away some of Lan Yingying's arms. The warm and soft touch from the arms made the desire in his heart become more and more intense. After calming down, the young man looked at Mu Qing and said without changing his expression.
"Yu Mo?" Mu Qing frowned slightly when he heard this unfamiliar name. As an weapon refiner, he had a good memory, but he had never heard of this name in his mind.
While he was deep in thought, a hint of impatience flashed in Lan Yingying's eyes, and she immediately took Mo Yu's arm and walked towards the field.
As the two left cordially, Mu Qing, who had come back to his senses, looked at Mo Yu's back, his face suddenly darkened.
"Senior Sister Lan, you are deliberately using me as a shield and taking advantage of me." After separating from Mu Qing, Lan Yingying let go of the young man's arm. Mo Yu also understood the meaning and deliberately joked.
Hearing this, Lan Yingying rolled her eyes at Mo Yu and said angrily: "I don't know how many people in Beast Desolate City want me to touch them, but I'm not even willing to do it. You kid got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
As for using you as a shield, that guy is so annoying that I can’t get rid of him, so I have no choice but to offend you, junior brother. I believe you won’t blame senior sister, right? ”
After saying that, Lan Yingying's face showed a cute and flattering look like a little girl. If it weren't for the faint smile in her beautiful eyes, Mo Yu would have really suspected that she had changed.
"What a goblin..." After muttering, Mo Yu asked curiously: "Senior Sister Lan, with your status as president and background as a soldier, you shouldn't be afraid of Mu Qing. Why don't you just send him away."
"Oh, you also know that the teacher has an extraordinary status. It seems that the teacher said that you can't see through it, and there is some truth in it."
With a smile on her lips, Lan Yingying immediately spread her hands, a trace of helplessness flashed in her beautiful eyes and said: "I also want to get rid of him, but Mu Qing's background is not something I can just control."
"Oh? What is his background?"
"You should know, Mr. Mu, the number one weapon refiner in the Mulan Empire."
"I've heard of it, could it be..."
Once in the territory of the lizard tribe, Mo Yu heard the name of Mr. Mu, the first weapon refiner of the Mulan Empire, during the conversation between the lion-headed elder and the black lizard snake king. Now this Mu Qing is also named Mu, obviously. It's not as simple as coincidence.
"Well, you are right. Mu Qing and Mr. Mu are indeed related. Back then, Mu Qing was originally an orphan, but later he was taken aback by Mr. Mu. Not only did he treat him as his own, but he also taught him his skills. Now less than thirty years old, he has reached the fourth level of weapon refiner, and his talent is almost as good as mine
Mr. Mu is not only the president of the Mulan Empire's Weapon Refiner Branch, but also a senior member of the Weapon Alliance. Therefore, even if I have a teacher as my backer, I still have to give him some slack. "Lan Yingying said helplessly.
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded, and at the same time he was alert in his heart.
In the conversation between the lion-headed elder and the black lizard snake king, it seemed that Mr. Mu had a close relationship with Mulan Gu, and as his disciple, Mu Qing must have some knowledge of what happened that night.
No wonder the other party seemed familiar with me. He must have seen the portrait of his original body, ‘Mo Yu’, countless times.
Shaking his head, Mo Yu was a little wary of his identity being exposed, but he was not too afraid.
As long as Mulan Sanlao didn't take action, with the help of Uncle Snake, it wouldn't be that difficult to escape.
While Mo Yu was deep in thought, the two of them had arrived at the assessment venue unknowingly.
"Mr. President, what are your orders?" A serious-looking old man in gray clothes came over, looked at Lan Yingying, and said respectfully.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, for disturbing your invigilation. My junior brother also wants to take the test for the weapon refiner badge. Please add another test stone platform."
Facing the old man who had worked in the weapon refiner branch for decades, Lan Yingying did not show the president's arbitrary behavior, but showed great respect.
"Oh? The president's junior brother also wants to participate in the assessment. If you have to go to trouble, I can just add a stone platform for the first-grade weapon refiner assessment."
The old man in gray looked at the president's younger brother in astonishment, then nodded and agreed.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Wu, it's too troublesome to start the exam from the first-grade weapon refiner. You can just prepare a test stone platform for the third-grade weapon refiner for my junior brother." Lan Yingying stopped the old man and chuckled.
"What!?"
As Lan Yingying finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly became silent, and everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Mo Yu, who was standing calmly. This young man actually wants to directly pass the exam to become a third-grade weapon refiner?
A third-grade weapon refiner, that is an achievement that many weapon refiners can achieve after decades of immersion. How old is this young man? Could it be that he started practicing from his mother's womb?
Mr. Wu also looked at Mo Yu in surprise. This junior brother who suddenly appeared from the president actually wanted to directly assess the third-grade weapon refiner?
He has been working in the industry for decades, but he has never encountered such an example. This is simply the first time.
"Haha, President Lan, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules of the weapon refiner branch to directly pass the exam to become a third-grade weapon refiner. Moreover, Junior Brother Yumo is so young, so it's better not to be so impetuous. The water for a third-grade weapon refiner is too deep. He can't grasp it. Don’t live.”
Mu Qing came over at some point. When he heard that Lan Yingying asked Mr. Wu to prepare a stone platform for the third-grade weapon refiner examination for Mo Yu, he was stunned at first, and then pretended to be comforting, but in reality he was sarcastic.
Even he, a third-grade weapon refiner under twenty years old, couldn't do it, and Mu Qing didn't believe that Mo Yu could do it.
Even if the young man is the disciple of that big shot, the weapon refiner needs to accumulate step by step. There is no shortcut at all. It is impossible to completely feed it with elixirs like Dou Qi.
"Mu Qing, I am the president, and I have the final say here!" Hearing this, Lan Yingying's beautiful eyes narrowed and she said in a deep voice.
Seeing Lan Yingying angry, Mu Qing was startled and avoided the former's sight. His eyes when looking at Mo Yu suddenly became a little more angry and cold.
"Haha, I am also doing this for the sake of the reputation of the weapon refiner branch. President Lan should understand." Mu Qing insisted.
Seeing this, Lan Yingying scolded her with red lips. When she was about to say something, she was stopped by Mo Yu.
"Vice President Mu, I remember that this is a rule of the Weapon Refiner Guild, and the Weapon Refiner Branch just copied it and borrowed it without strict regulations. Senior Sister Lan did not violate the rules by doing this.
As for my failure in the assessment and the loss of face of the Weapon Refiner Branch, how about this. If I fail the assessment, I will no longer participate in any Weapon Refiner badge assessment for ten years. If I succeed, how about you apologize to me? "Mo Yu curled up the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
Hearing this, Mu Qing was startled. He didn't expect that with just a casual provocation, this kid would throw himself into the trap. He nodded quickly and said, "If that's the case, it's not impossible."
"Junior brother, you..." Lan Yingying frowned and looked at Mo Yu worriedly.
However, the young man seemed to understand her worries and looked at the other party with a gentle smile, as if everything was under control.
Seeing this, Lan Yingying could no longer stop her. She sighed softly and then nodded to Mr. Wu.
After seeing the president's signal, the old man looked at Mo Yu in surprise. The horror in his eyes had not faded away, but he still followed the instructions to prepare the content of the assessment for the third-grade weapon refiner.
Although I don't believe that Mo Yu can pass the third-grade weapon refiner examination at such a young age, if he really succeeds, this can become an interesting thing in his lifetime.
Under such a bet, everyone in the audience looked at Mo Yu curiously, and some people even started betting on whether Mo Yu could obtain the badge of a third-grade weapon refiner.
However, even with the blessing of the aura of the president's junior brother, most people present did not believe that Mo Yu could reach the level of a third-grade weapon refiner at such an age.
Therefore, Mo Yu's odds are getting higher and higher. Only a very small number of gamblers who want to make big gains with their small fortunes make up their mind to win over Mo Yu, and they are full of trepidation.
Mu Qing also looked at Mo Yu with cold eyes, a sneer on his lips, and then looked at the plump and delicate body next to the young man, with a touch of fire in his eyes.
If Mo Yu fails the assessment and is embarrassed in front of so many people, Lan Yingying will definitely change her mind and realize that she is good.
While everyone in the venue was in mixed moods, under the arrangement of the old man in gray, the stone platform for the third-grade weapon refiner examination was slowly placed.
The stone platform was placed in the center of the field, as if to show its specialness. All the stone platforms used for the assessment of first-grade weapon refiners were also slightly moved back to highlight its importance.
The stone platform was set up, and everyone looked at Mo Yu, eagerly waiting for the young man to come on stage.
Under everyone's gaze, Mo Yu came to the center of the stone platform with a calm expression and picked up the utensils on the table.
Although the test for a third-level weapon refiner is unusually difficult, the nature of the test is no different from that of a first-level weapon refiner. As long as the third-level weapon arranged by the branch can be successfully refined, it is enough.
Mo Yu picked up a piece of parchment on the stone platform and looked at it. This weapon recipe was a weapon recipe called the Bloodthirsty Knife.
The effect of this bloodthirsty knife allows the user to greatly increase the fighting spirit in the body in a short period of time while burning the essence and blood in the body. Although this kind of weapon is powerful in killing, it has serious sequelae. It is a third-grade weapon. In the middle, it can only be regarded as the middle of the ranking.
But even so, it is still ranked among the third-grade weapons. It is not that simple to refine it.
Of course, this is for others, but for Mo Yu, a third-grade weapon is fine as long as he has his hands on it.
"Is the inspection completed? If there are no problems, then...the assessment begins!"
His eyes swept across the stone platform, especially after staying on Mo Yu for a moment. After seeing that no one spoke, the old man in gray waved his palm, and a burst of energy came out of his palm, and finally hit the simple wooden structure at the top of the hall. On top of the iron clock.
Suddenly, the clear chime of the bell rang in the hall.
Hearing the bell ringing, in the stone platform, except for Mo Yu, all the candidates for the first-grade weapon refiner examination quickly placed their palms on the fire mouth of the furnace, and fighting energy surged out of their bodies.
With a few muffled popping sounds, flames burst into flames in the furnace.
When the flames in the furnace started to burn, a transparent light curtain slowly rose on the outside of the stone platform.
The light curtain formed a square shape, wrapping all the candidates inside.
With the opening of the light curtain, the whispers in the hall fell completely silent.
Everyone was paying close attention to the movements of the candidates in Shitaizhong. Of course, most people's eyes were focused on Mo Yu, especially those who placed bets on the young man.
But the young man's dazed behavior made them curse in secret.
I thought he was a mysterious genius, but he turned out to be a braggart, and his secret was revealed as soon as he came on stage!
Lan Yingying's eyes were clenched, and a trace of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at the young man.
Mu Qing looked at Mo Yu with a sneer. He thought he had seen through the young man's true nature, that he was just a arrogant boy who had not been beaten up by society.
Even though he has some talent, he is blinded by pride and becomes arrogant.
Just as he was thinking this, with an expression of hope for victory on his face, the next moment, the terrifying thunder fire suddenly appeared in the young man's hand, causing his expression to change drastically, and he lost his voice in horror: "Red thunder? Flame?"
Lan Yingying on the side saw this, and a flash of shock suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes, probably because the thunder flame in the young man's hand was even more terrifying than the beast fire he had seen in the teacher's hand!
At the same time, looking at the terrifying thunder fire in Mo Yu's hand, the whole hall was instantly silent. One after another, their eyes suddenly turned to Mo Yu in the light curtain...
