The Spirit-Fighter Badge is common throughout the Spirit Arenas in the Douluo Continent, but Chen Feng didn't take out his previously obtained Spirit-Fighter Badges he won is the Soutuo Spirit Arena, instead, he was planning to register again and fight his way back up the ranks.
"Hello, I want to register for a Spirit Fighter badge." Chen Feng walked to the registration office and went to apply.
"The registration fee is 10 Gold Coins, please fill out this form." The staff slid a form to him.
The form is the same as the form that Chen Feng filled out when he registered in the Great Spirit Arena of Suotuo City. Chen Feng still used the name Monkey King, but his registered spirit changed from Black Iron Staff to Profound Iron Staff, his Spirit Power Rank was also adjusted to Rank 43.
After filling it in, Chen Feng took out 10 Gold Coins and paid his fee.
"You've successfully registered. Would you like us to arrange a match for you now?" The staff handed an Iron Spirit Fight Badge to Chen Feng, and then asked.
"Yeah." Chen Feng nodded.
"Please go to the lounge and wait there, you will be notified when it's your turn." the staff member informed.
Chen Feng did not go to the lounge, instead, he went to the spectator stands to watch other people's matches and observe their spirits. After watching a few games in a row, he could see the difference between Spirit Masters in Gengxin City and Suotuo City.
Most of the people who participated in the Spirit Arena in Gengxin's Great Spirit Arena had Weapon Spirits, most of Spirits were also related to forging, such as hammers, pliers, chisels and so on.
Their Spirit Abilities are all for forging better weapons and not to increase attack power or speed, insinuating their strength is also weaker than that of Spirit Masters of the same Rank in other places.
Finally, it was Chen Feng's turn. His opponent was a Rank 48 Spirit Ancestor. His Martial Spirit was a hammer, but its appearance was very different from the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer's body was cylindrical, while this hammer looked like a horn.
"1st Spirit Ability, Tough Strike."
As soon as the match started, the opponent rushed towards him, raised his hammer high, and slammed it down at him.
"Not only is their combat effectiveness weak, but even their combat awareness is very poor." Chen Feng shook his head, raised his Profound Iron staff with one hand, blocking the opponent's first Spirit Ability.
"How is this possible?" The owner of the hammer spirit was extremely surprised.
Chen Feng did not have the desire to fight, he just wanted to explode some attribute light balls as soon as possible and then end the fight.
"Bang—ah—bang—ah—"
The impact from weapon meeting flesh and screams were mixed, finally Chen Feng smashed the opponent off the ring.
However, what surprised Chen Feng was that a Golden Ball of light burst out of the opponent's body.
"Ding Dong! Checking, Advanced Blacksmith Skills, do you want to fuse it?"
"Fuse."
Suddenly many forging skills appeared in Chen Feng's mind, there was also a lot of forging experience. As long as he tried to forge for a period of time, he was certain he could become an Advance Blacksmith.
According to Douluo Continent's classification of blacksmiths, from lowest to highest, they are: Junior Blacksmith, Intermediate Blacksmith, Advanced Blacksmith, Master Smith, Grandmaster Blacksmith, Smith Scholar, and Divine Craftsman.
Advanced Blacksmiths can only be regarded as medium, they are everywhere in Gengxin City.
"If I beat a Divine Craftsman severely, would there be a chance he'd explode all his blacksmith skills?" Chen Feng thought in his heart, as soon as this idea came into being, it went out of control.
If he becomes a Divine Craftsman, he can craft weapons for himself which is better than going to others to make weapons for him.
The Divine Craftsman in Gengxin city is a Spirit Saint but as a blacksmith, his fighting power should average out to an average Spirit Emperor. If Chen Feng fought him, he was sure he could defeat him.
However, Lou Gao would definitely not come out to fight him. If he attacks directly, he was afraid that he will be beaten to death by the guards before even reaching Lou Gao.
In the short time he had, he could not think of a good way to beat Lou Gao. As such, Chen Feng did not waste more time and left the Great Spirit Arena, he planned to find a hotel to live in, and then think about a way slowly.
In Gengxin city, people come to buy and sell things creating a fluctuating population leaving hotels empty and full. Chen Feng picked one that was not bad and rented a room.
After entering his room, Chen Feng took out the iron ore he bought from the iron ore shop today.
"It looks no different from ordinary iron ore. Is the mystery inside?" Chen Feng now possessing Advanced Blacksmithing skills has a certain ability to identify iron ore.
Chen Feng used his Profound Iron staff to break the ore. With a bang, the iron ore on the surface broke apart, it slowly fell off, exposing the content inside.
Inside is also a piece of ore, its whole body is pitch black, even people who aren't blacksmiths understand that this ore is definitely not simple.
"Chilling Heart Iron Spirit."
Chen Feng had Advanced Blacksmith skills and was therefore able to immediately recognise the ore.
Chilling Heart Iron Spirit is one of the hardest metals on the Douluo Continent. Hence, its price is 100 times the weight of gold, even then, it has no market.
"Such a big piece of Chilling Heart Iron Spirit, I'm afraid it's worth hundreds of kilograms of gold, I've made a lot of money this time." Chen Feng said excitedly, he felt exactly like those protagonists that go to antique stores and return with large harvests.
However, Chen Feng was not going to sell this Iron Spirit, he was going to keep it for himself.
"Does the Profound Iron staff have a special response to high-grade metals?" Chen Feng discovered this Chilling Heart Iron Spirit through the reaction from the Profound Iron staff. Since it has a response to the Chilling Heart Iron Spirit, it might also respond to other high-grade metals.
"I'll try again when I have time." Chen Feng secretly whispered.
After putting away the Chilling Heart iron spirit, Chen Feng wondered how to explode balls from the Divine Craftsmen.
However, after much deliberation, he could not think of a good way. Thus, he finally decided to go to the Blacksmiths Association headquarters tomorrow to fish out more information and then figure out a way.
Early the next morning, Chen Feng asked others about the location of the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association, and then came to the door of a tall building.
The building is more than 30 meters high and occupies a large area. The largest building Chen Feng has seen before is the Great Spirit Arena in Suotuo City, but this is twice as large as the Great Spirit Arena of Suotuo City.
There was an iron plaque hanging directly above the building. There are no words on the plaque, only a hammer and a chisel.
There was no guard at the door, enabling Chen Feng to walk in directly.
The first floor of the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association is the trading area, which mainly sells some works of blacksmiths and some metals; the second floor is also a trading area, but the sales here are all rare metals; the third floor is the blacksmith registration examination area; the fourth floor is the auction venue. The venue is dedicated to auctioning some precious works; the fifth floor is the office area of the Blacksmiths Association, the Divine Craftsman is also here most of the time.
There are two guards at the entrance of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. Indicating that you must fulfil a condition to enter the next floor be it wealth or power.
He walked slowly on the first floor. He was not planning to buy anything. The corner of his eyes stared at the stairs to see if the Divine Craftsman Lou Gao would go down. He spent a whole day there waiting for his prey but even after spending the whole day there, Lou Gao did not emerge.
But he was not discouraged. He continued to come here the next day. For five days consecutively he waited, he finally found some useful news.
Lou Gao is extremely obsessed with forging. He works late at the Blacksmiths' Association every day, and sometimes even sleeps in the Blacksmith's Association. He rarely goes out. Even if he goes out, two of his disciples are always guarding him. Both of his disciples are Spirit Saints.
Only every night, he himself did not know when he would stay in the Blacksmiths Association, so he would let his two disciples go home first.
Chen Feng planned to attack him on the way home. It would be late and there would hardly be anyone around. Without his two disciples with him, he'd be easy picking.
After making the plan, Chen Feng prepared a disguise and went to wait outside the Blacksmiths Association.
