Chen Feng rushed outside the Blacksmith Association, he was going to sit and wait for Lou Gao to emerge. But the guy never stepped out of the Association building for him to target and attack.

Chen Feng did not sleep all night while waiting for Lou Gao. This was because even if he encountered the Divine Craftsman during the day, he would not be able to attack him because of his bodyguards. Thus, ambushing him at night, though waiting all night for his target would leave him tired and sleepless the next day.

After living in the Star Dou Forest for more than two years, Chen Feng learned a little bit. As a hunter, he must have good patience.

The effort paid off. On the third night, Chen Feng had successfully been able to find an opportunity with his prey.

An old man with a short stature walked out of the Blacksmiths' Association. He was 1.6 meters tall and had a waist circumference of 1.6 meters. He had protruding ears, small eyes, and dishevelled hair. From his appearance, it was not obvious that he was the president of the Blacksmiths Association. One of the three great Divine Craftsmen of the Douluo Continent.

Chen Feng was not ready to do anything at the gate of the Blacksmiths Association, but he quietly followed him behind a tall building and into the streets.

When Lou Gao entered a dark corner of an alley, Chen Feng's second Spirit Ring lit up as he attacked suddenly. He immediately arrived behind Lou Gao and karate chopped him.

But Lou Gao was a Spirit Saint and Chen Feng was afraid of killing him, so he did not dare to use his full strength. Thus, the beating had to continue.

Before Lou Gao could react, Chen Feng continuously, violently beat Lou Gao to make sure he was knocked out.

To prevent him from being exposed for his crime afterwards, Chen Feng did not use any of his Martial Spirits and directly beat him using his fists. He had not exposed the Dark Saint Tiger spirit in Gengxin City, nor used his staff spirit, making it basically impossible to find out that he did it.

"Bang-ah-bang-ah-"

Although Lou Gao did not have a chance to fight back, he still screamed instinctively.

"Something's wrong over there, go and take a look."

The screams alarmed the patrollers in the city, and a small team appeared to see what was going on.

"I have to hit him faster." Chen Feng's punches became quicker and harder. The raindrops of fists fell on Lou Gao and various colourful attribute light balls burst from him. The patrol team was about to enter the corner of the street. At exactly that moment, a Golden Ball of light finally burst.

Chen Feng looked happy, picked up the Golden Ball of light and left directly, as for the other light balls on the ground, he ignored it, they were insignificant compared to the one he had picked up.

"It's Mr. Lou Gao, go chase the murderer." The captain of the patrol team identified Lou Gao and immediately went over to help him and at the same time ordered his men to chase after Chen Feng. However, his men could not keep up with Chen Feng's speed. After a few breaths, Chen Feng disappeared.

After Chen Feng escaped, he did not go back to his hotel room directly. Instead, he went around the city a few times and returned to the hotel when he was sure no one was following him.

"Ding Dong! Divine Craftsmanship skill is detected. Do you want to fuse it?"

"Fuse."

Suddenly, a large amount of Forging skills and experience flooded into Chen Feng's mind. Compared with the Advanced Blacksmithing skills he had acquired before, it was like a raindrop compared to an ocean.

"Worthy of being a Divine Craftsman." Chen Feng said in admiration.

If Lou Gao had such talent and enthusiasm in cultivation, he would definitely be a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo.

The next day, Gengxin City launched a city-wide search to find Lou Gao's assailant. Lou Gao is a Divine Craftsman and the chairman of the blacksmith association. He has a high status in the heart of the blacksmiths. Thus, when they heard he was attacked, they were furious and took the initiative to help find the perpetrator.

As the instigator of this incident, Chen Feng was walking leisurely on the street like a non-suspicious person, as if this incident had nothing to do with him.

After several experiments, Chen Feng discovered that his Profound Iron Staff had the ability to sense rare metals, so he began to raid the major iron ore shops in Gengxin City and found a lot of rare metals, such as Black Iron, Tungsten Steel, Fine Gold, Cold Silver, Crimson Copper and so on.

All these materials could not fit into his Spirit Guidance Device, so he sold some rare metals and bought a new Ring Spirit Guidance Device. The space inside was about fifty cubic meters, which was considered advanced among Spirit Guidance Devices.

After the raid, Chen Feng did not intend to leave Gengxin City. What he now possesses is only the memory and not the experience of a Divine Craftsman. There was still a long way to go before becoming a real Divine Craftsman. Nowhere is better than Gengxin City to improve forging skills than this place.

So, Chen Feng rented and opened a blacksmith shop in Gengxin City, he was preparing to improve his forging skills from scratch.

As for the hunt for the assailant who harmed the chairman, after half a month, there was still no clue, and the search effort shrank. In the end they were unable to find anything and gave up.

In the Douluo Continent, strength is the foundation to everything. Without strength you are nothing. Thus, Chen Feng cannot delay his cultivation just to upgrade his forging skills. He can still distinguish what is the priority between the two.

So, Chen Feng did the same thing he did while he was in Suotuo City. He found a few people to form a team and played single, duo and team battles every day.

The people in Gengxin City mainly have weapon spirits and among them, many have staff spirits, so Chen Feng exploded many staff spirits allowing his Profound Iron Staff Spirit's strength to increase quickly.

…

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two years, Chen Feng's figure will basically only appear in three places, his own blacksmith shop, major iron ore shops in the city, and the Great Spirit Arena in Gengxin City.

This simple routine made Chen Feng have a great harvest.

Firstly, his fifty cubic meter ring Spirit Guidance Device has been filled with various rare metals. It can be said that the total amount of rare metals in Gengxin City is not as much or as precious as his stash of metals.

Every time the major blacksmith shops buy goods; he will buy the iron ore that contains rare metals. With the rare metal detector ability of his Profound Iron Staff, it was simply too easy.

Secondly, a month ago, he finally raised his forging skills to the Rank of a Divine Craftsman, but he did not go to the Blacksmiths Association to obtain his certificate.

Also, his Spirit Power increased to Rank 50. In fact, when he had been in Gengxin City for half a year, his Spirit Power had already reached Rank 50, but he never got a Spirit Ring, he instead kept compressing his Spirit Power. Currently, his dense Spirit and Mental Power enables him to complete an amazing feat. That is, condense a Soul Core while being a Spirit King.

A Soul Core is a cultivation technique only available in Douluo 2. Generally speaking, the first Soul Core is condensed when entering Title Douluo, and the second Soul Core is condensed when entering Limit/Peerless Douluo.

And the protagonist of Douluo II, Huo Yuhao, condensed his first Soul Core while being a Spirit Saint by virtue of his strong Mental and Spirit power, when he reached Limit Douluo, he was able to condense a total of 3 Soul Cores. His first when he was a Spirit Saint, his second one when he became a Title Douluo and his final one when he became a Limit Douluo.

When Chen Feng was at Rank 20, his Mental Power was already comparable to a Spirit King. At Rank 40, it was not weaker than a Spirit Saints. Later, when he integrated a Head Spirit Bone, plus the accumulation from the past two years, enabled his Mental Power to not be inferior to ordinary Title Douluo's.

Therefore, Chen Feng is confident that after breaking through Spirit King, he can directly condense his first Soul Core, so when he's Limit Douluo, he hopes to have condensed a total of 4 Soul Cores and become the strongest Peerless Douluo in the history of Douluo Dalu.

"It's time to leave."

Chen Feng was heading to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his 5th Spirit Ring, and then condense a Soul Core.

Now he was over 11 years old, it had only been a few months since Tang San graduated from Nuoding Academy. After he breaks through Spirit King, he would go to Shrek to find Tang San.

"When Xiao San and Xiao Wu see me, they will definitely be surprised." Chen Feng smiled triumphantly.

All his valuables were placed in his Spirit Guidance Device, there was nothing left. After closing his forge, Chen Feng left the city where he had lived for two years.
