Having transmigrated to a new world and becoming an ordinary Blacksmith in a Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng shortly has the Master Blacksmith System activated. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for forging the low-grade weapon [West Wind Sword]. You have gained increased agility and the skill [Traveling With The Wind]." "Ding! Congratulations to the host for forging the middle-grade weapon [Spear of Dawn]. You have gained increased endurance and the skill [Flaming Rebirth]." "Ding! Congratulations to the host for forging the high-grade weapon [Oath of the Archer]. You have gained 300% attack speed and the skill [Blood Frenzy Disaster]." ——– "Ding! Congratulations to the host for forging the sacred-grade [Black Dragon Set, [Burning Phoenix Set, [Giant Set, and [Chaotic Set]. You have gained…" While others struggle to survive through tough cultivation, he only has to forge stronger weapons to gain greater power. From forging weapons to forging himself, any divine weapon or artifact is only a toy in his hand.

Chapter 1: The Cheat That Has Been Silent For Three Years
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Ye Feng, to this day, you've been here for three years."
"After three years, you cannot even forge the simplest Knight's Longsword, I think you should start considering a new path."
"You know about Avril's feelings towards you, but at the rate you're going, how will you take care of her in the future? Furthermore, you know the current situation, regarding her father..."
Saying so, the dwarf turned around and left, leaving Ye Feng all alone in the Blacksmith Shop.
Ye Feng rubbed his nose, showing a bitter smile on his face.
The person earlier was called Nyzo, one of the members of the small dwarf race and also the owner of this Blacksmith Shop, a famous Master Blacksmith of Osborne City.
Three years ago, it was Nyzo that brought him back to the Blacksmith Shop, preventing him from dying of illness in the streets.
And the day that Nyzo brought him back was also the day that he transmigrated to this world.
For the last three years in the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng had been working hard to learn the art of forging techniques.
But even after three years, he did not succeed even once.
If not for Nyzo's kindness, he would have been chased out already.
For the last three years, he saw batches of students leaving the Blacksmith Shop.
Be it those who came earlier than him or those who came later, regardless of their status, they had all become Blacksmiths.
Only he was the anomaly.
Nyzo had talked to Ye Feng many times, asking him to find a new path for himself. However, he could not overcome the combined force of Ye Feng's persistence and Avril's pleas.
Avril was the goddaughter of Nyzo, she was also the daughter of one of the three Advanced Knights of Osborne City, Eric. Because of Eric and Nyzo's friendship, he acknowledged Avril as his goddaughter.
From their interactions over these three years, Avril also developed some feelings for Ye Feng.
Shaking his head and tossing away his scattered thoughts, Ye Feng walked to the forge and held up the hammer at the side.
Soon, the sound of metals clashing could be heard from within the Blacksmith Shop.
...
Outside, Nyzo shook his head helplessly.
He did not want to chase Ye Feng away either, but...
If Ye Feng could create even a single most basic Knight's Longsword, it would have been fine.
But the reality was, Ye Feng did not even manage to forge a single Knight's Longsword.
Not only that, Ye Feng did not show any talent in cultivation either, he showed no signs of being able to become a knight or awaken the potential to use magic.
Such a person could only be an ordinary man in this life.
If he were to die one day, how could Ye Feng take over the entire Blacksmith Shop alone?
Rather than that, he might as well start making preparations to find ways for Ye Feng to survive on his own in the future.
Right after Nyzo made this decision, he decided that after getting the materials this time, he would find his old friend and try to arrange a simple job for Ye Feng.
Marfa Continent.
It was a world with magic and knights, not only were there humans, there were also vampires, elves, dwarves, and other races.
Ye Feng was currently in Osborne City, a city at the fringe of the Tsama Empire of Marfa Continent.
Even though there was no war ongoing, the rules of the survival of the fittest still remained.
A person like Ye Feng without talent or skill had absolutely no status at all.
Even though Nyzo was around now, he could not protect Ye Feng forever.
In the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng's hammer was still pounding on the iron block that was glowing reddish black and had yet to take form.
The sweat from his forehead fell on the iron block, creating sizzling noises.
At this moment, Ye Feng's expression was filled with determination.
He had to succeed!
He did not want to leave the Blacksmith Shop, he did not want his hard work of over three years to end up with nothing.
Right now, there was no alternative for him but to succeed!
"It has been three years, why, why can't I succeed even once? Even once!" Ye Feng was unrelenting.
He was a transmigrator, he had his cheat too.
But for the last three years, his cheat had been like a piece of trash, it stayed dormant in his mind, sometimes, Ye Feng even wondered if his cheat was non-existent.
World Creator System!
It had activated three years ago when he first arrived, he originally thought that his future would be bright with this cheat system that he had, but to think that it went totally silent for three years.
It did not have any impact on Ye Feng's life whatsoever.
In fact, he could pretty much live without its existence, at least then, he could still look forward to something.
Wiping the sweat off his face and forgetting about the matter of his system, Ye Feng continued swinging his hammer on the iron block.
Now, he only wanted to change his current situation through hard work and diligence.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for failing to forge a thousand times, you have successfully activated the World Creator System." Suddenly, a clear voice resounded in Ye Feng's mind.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was first stunned before starting to feel extreme joy.
Failing to forge a thousand times?
That was the true way to awaken his system?
Thankfully, he did not give up and continued forging, otherwise, he would have never been able to activate this system.
He who worked hard would be rewarded. Was Ye Feng going to start rising to the peak of his life now?

At the next second, Ye Feng's smile froze on his face.
When he tried earlier to communicate with the World Creator System in his mind, it showed no response.
"Don't, don't tell me this is like three years ago, is it toying with me?" Ye Feng cursed in displeasure.
It seems that he could not count on his cheat system, he had to continue forging earnestly.
Thinking so, Ye Feng put away his disappointment and cast his gaze at the iron block again.
With a tinkling sound, the iron block was sent into the furnace to melt with the ore.
After thoroughly mixing together, Ye Feng poured the molten liquid metal back into the mold.
After it became cooler, he continued to forge using his hammer.
He did not know how much time had passed, but Ye Feng still struck with the hammer tirelessly, and the palm of his hand that was holding the hammer became wounded from friction, spilling a trace of blood.
After his tireless forging, the Knight's Longsword gradually took shape.
After the sword was heated again to create the hilt, a refined Knight's Longsword was forged.
Looking at the Knight's Longsword in his hand, Ye Feng could not help but reveal a smile.
Compared to his past failed works, this sword was much sharper and harder.
"I finally succeeded?" Ye Feng could not help but feel a sense of joy.
After three years, he had finally forged a passable Knight's Longsword.
Even though it was only the most basic Knight's Longsword, it bore a huge significance to Ye Feng.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for creating a stage one inferior-grade Knight's Longsword, you have obtained 10 fire elemental points." Suddenly, the clear voice from earlier resounded in Ye Feng's mind again.
As the voice faded away, Ye Feng could feel a new source of energy out of nowhere flowing along his veins and tendons, filling his entire body with energy.
Right now, Ye Feng felt like he had endless stamina, his body also felt lighter than before.
Ye Feng was extremely happy, he quickly looked towards the Knight's Longsword in his hands.
[Knight's Longsword]
Grade: Stage One Inferior-grade
Attack Power: 90
Durability: 100
Special Trait: None
"I will get rewarded for forging new weapons? The system wants me to continue on the path of forging?" Feeling the strength in his body, Ye Feng could not help but mutter.
If he were to gain such a reward each time he succeeded in forging a weapon, would it still be a dream to become powerful?
And as his strength increased, the things that he could forge would become more advanced.
This was a virtuous cycle.
At this moment, Ye Feng saw a promising path ahead of him.
This affirmed his decision to stay in the Blacksmith Shop.
But the question now was, would he get a reward each time he succeeded in forging something?

Chapter 2: Collapsed Door
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three days passed quickly, Ye Feng was engrossed in forging, he simply could not stop.
After three days of continuous forging without rest, Ye Feng finally obtained the result he wanted.
Each time he succeeded in forging something, he would receive a certain number of fire elemental points as a reward, after absorbing the fire elemental points, he would be restored to peak condition.
Sensing the energy surging in his body, Ye Feng revealed a smile on his face.
"Right now, I should have strength equivalent to an Apprentice Knight?"
"Maybe I can try forging stage one superior-grade weapons?"
Right when Ye Feng was about to take the materials, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Ye Feng subconsciously stopped in his tracks, showing some suspicion in his eyes.
It was late at night now, who would come over at this time?
Did Nyzo return after getting his materials?
Thinking about that, Ye Feng went to the door.
After opening the room door, the one standing outside was not Nyzo, it was a beautiful young woman wearing a Knight's Armor, she carried a helmet in one hand and a Knight's Longsword in the other, she smiled as she looked at Ye Feng.
Avril!
Right now, her attire showed that she had just completed a mission, the blood on her armor had not yet been cleaned.
"Brother Ye Feng, did you miss me?" Avril said in a joyful tone.
"Of course I did, but why did you come over at this time? Why didn't you go home after completing your mission?" Ye Feng smiled and replied.
"You are not honest, you say you miss me but you want me to go home?" Avril rolled her eyes.
Ye Feng smiled bitterly.
He knew about Avril's love of course, he liked her as well, but he soon thought of her father.
The one who stood between them was Eric, one of the three Advanced Knights of Osborne City.
He did not think highly of Ye Feng, he naturally would not let him date his daughter Avril.
"Avril, it's too late now, hurry up and go home, we can talk tomorrow."
"I refuse, Brother Ye Feng, do you not like me anymore?"
"How can that be, I've never stopped liking you."
"Hehe, that's all I want to hear, I've decided!"
"Decided what?" Ye Feng asked in confusion.
"That I'm not leaving tonight."
Saying so, Avril went past Ye Feng, entering the Blacksmith Shop and making her way to Ye Feng's room in a familiar manner.
Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled bitterly as he quickly caught up with her.
By the time Ye Feng reached his own room, Avril had already taken off her armor.
Because of Avril's initiative, the two had a sleepless night.
After waking up, Ye Feng looked at Avril who was beside him and showed a gentle and warm smile.
After looking at her for a while, seeing that Avril was still sound asleep, Ye Feng did not interrupt her, he went to the front courtyard.
Now, he was no longer alone.
After last night's event, he was officially a man now, he had to bear the responsibility of protecting his woman.
Becoming stronger was no longer a choice, it was a necessity.
In the warehouse, as Ye Feng's gaze swept over various materials, the details of each material would quickly show up in his mind.
Suddenly, Ye Feng's gaze landed on a black rock.
[Black Iron Stone]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Special Trait: Because it came into contact with the blood of a powerful vampire, a change occurred, there is a slight chance that forging an equipment with it will grant the bloodlust attribute.
Even though he did not know what the bloodlust attribute was, it sounded very impressive.
"I'll use you, maybe I can forge a stage two weapon and gift it to Avril as a token of my love." Ye Feng observed the changed black iron stone for a while before making up his mind.
"Ding! Detecting that the Host has found a special material, the Host will be rewarded with the forging blueprint of [Bloodlust Sword]."
Once the voice said that, Ye Feng gained a new wave of information in his mind.
After digesting his new information, Ye Feng showed a smile on his face.
Good luck could not be blocked.
All the materials needed to forge the Bloodlust Sword were in this warehouse.
Thus, Ye Feng prepared the materials and lit the furnace, starting to forge the Bloodlust Sword.
Stage two materials were very hard, their melting point was much higher than stage one materials.
Focusing on feeding the furnace, after two hours, the black iron stone finally melted, Ye Feng then added the rest of the materials in, fusing them with the black iron stone.
After the fusion was completed, Ye Feng started to forge the Bloodlust Sword.
Different from stage one weapons, forging stage two weapons would sometimes require specific hammering methods, if one was careless, the might of the weapon that was forged would be lower than expected.
The preparation of the materials took two hours, while the forging took an entire day.
During that period, Avril stayed by Ye Feng's side, she did not speak or interrupt him.
But her eyes were filled with curiosity and surprise when she looked at Ye Feng.
She knew clearly what Ye Feng was capable of.
Even without mentioning his forging techniques, just the fact that Ye Feng was not even at the level of an Apprentice Knight meant that it was impossible for him to forge for an entire day without rest.
Furthermore, there was the huge battle the previous night.
At this moment, Avril could not help but think of a question internally, since when did Ye Feng become so powerful?
At the same time, Avril also made preparations to ask Ye Feng these questions later.
But right at this moment, under the illumination of the lamp, a trace of blood light flashed past her eyes, causing Avril to look towards the Bloodlust Sword in Ye Feng's hand.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two superior-grade [Bloodlust Sword]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining [Offensive Skill: Bloodlust]."
A series of system notifications rang.
Before Ye Feng had time to rejoice, he felt that his body was being filled with energy.
And at this moment, he had successfully become a knight!
After his energy stabilized, Ye Feng revealed a smile that could not be concealed.
Was this the feeling of being filled with strength?
Ye Feng felt like he could kill a bull with one punch!
After checking the strength in his body, Ye Feng turned his gaze towards the Bloodlust Sword.
[Bloodlust Sword]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 970
Durability: 100
Special Trait: When in combat, bloodlust attribute is automatically active, increasing the user's combat strength by 10%.
Strong!
Very strong!
Nearly a thousand attack power and also a combat strength boosting effect.
It was simply equivalent to a stage two supreme-grade.
Ye Feng did not expect that his first attempt to forge a stage two weapon would succeed like this, it was even a stage two superior-grade that rivaled a supreme-grade.
Not just him, even Avril was completely stunned.
Was this the Ye Feng that she knew?
"Brother Ye Feng, when did you become so amazing?"
"I had some fortuitous encounters a few days ago." Ye Feng smiled and replied.
"Fortuitous encounters? What sort of encounter can make a person so powerful in just a few days? In the past, you could not even forge a single stage one Knight's Longsword."
Bam!
Before Ye Feng replied, a huge sound could be heard.
Ye Feng turned around subconsciously and saw that the door had collapsed inwards from the outside.
A middle-aged man with a dark expression appeared outside the door.

Chapter 3: Special Trait Offensive Skill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing the middle-aged man, Ye Feng was not in the mood to care about the collapsed door, he quickly tried to think of a way to respond to this man.
Even though he was a knight now, in front of this man, he still had to lower his head.
Eric!
One of the three Advanced Knights of Osborne City.
He was also Avril's father.
When Eric saw Avril who was standing beside Ye Feng, his expression turned livid.
Avril did not return home the previous night, she stayed at his place until now, Eric did not need to think to know what had happened.
"Rascal kid, you dare to defile Avril, I am going to slaughter you today!"
Saying so, Eric released a terrifying aura as he prepared to charge towards Ye Feng.
"Father, what are you doing? I'm warning you, don't think of touching Brother Ye Feng, I am a willing party in this." Avril quickly stood in front of Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Eric's expression turned even colder, he stared at Ye Feng fiercely, not concealing the killing intent in his eyes.
"Avril, step aside, I'm going to slaughter this kid."
"No, if you dare to touch Brother Ye Feng, I will die in front of you!"
"You... Avril, you cannot be so foolish, he does not suit you, you are trying to ruin your own future!" Eric had a helpless expression, "I don't care how you help him normally, but I will not agree to you two getting together!"
"Father, I am not a kid anymore, I have my own right to choose, you cannot interfere!"
"Avril, can you be more rational? Ye Feng is not even a knight, how can he protect you in the future?"
Right as Avril was about to speak, Ye Feng stopped her.
Ye Feng pulled Avril behind him and showed a smile to indicate to her that she should leave this to him.
"Uncle Eric, I reached knight level strength some time ago, but I did not have enough time to go get the certification." Next, Ye Feng turned to look at Eric, not showing fear towards that killer gaze.
Eric was slightly stunned, he carefully observed Ye Feng's aura.
"You really broke through?"
"That's right, Uncle Eric, can I be with Avril now?"
"Of course not, you only broke through to become a knight at this age, Avril's future will be ruined if she is with you." Eric refused to agree as he asked, "Ye Feng, I know you like Avril, but are you willing to ruin her life like this?"
Seeing that Avril could not be convinced, Eric decided to try convincing Ye Feng instead.
But Ye Feng was not going to waver because of Eric's words.
"Uncle Eric, don't worry, not only will I not hold Avril back, I will also try to help her!" Ye Feng said confidently.
A few days ago, Ye Feng would not be so confident, but now, he had the assurance.
"Help her? With what? So what if you became a knight? So what if you succeeded in forging something? Do you think that with your talent, you can be of help to Avril?"
"With this!" Ye Feng raised the Bloodlust Sword in his hand, tossing it towards Eric: "Uncle Eric, if you think that I cannot be of help to Avril after seeing this, I have nothing to say, but I will not break up with her!"
Avril looked at Ye Feng's broad shoulders while feeling a warm sensation internally, her small hands grabbing Ye Feng's large hand.
"Father, I will not break up with Brother Ye Feng either!"
Eric received the Bloodlust Sword and stared at Avril snappily before looking at the sword.
"Stage two superior-grade?" Eric was slightly surprised: "You made this?"
"That's right, I completed it before you came in here."
"A stage two superior-grade sword with stage two supreme-grade power, kid, did you find this somewhere to try and deceive me?" Eric looked at the Bloodlust Sword again: "According to what I know, you have never succeeded in forging anything, how can you create a stage two superior-grade weapon all of a sudden?"
"Father, Brother Ye Feng is not the same as before. I watched the entire forging process myself." Avril quickly added.
Eric was unhappy with Avril's interjection, but after staring at her, he looked at Ye Feng again.
"Uncle Eric, why would I lie to you, if you find that I have deceived you, I will leave Avril immediately, is that enough?"
"Hmph, I will believe you once, but if I find that you lied to me, you will die a terrible death!" Eric snorted loudly.
Right now, Eric's expression had become calmer, the killing intent in his eyes vanished without a trace.
"Uncle Eric, don't worry, I won't ever lie to you."
Ye Feng was speaking the truth.
Eric was an Advanced Knight, his strength could not be resisted.
If Ye Feng lied to him, he would suffer a horrible outcome.
"Since you can forge this weapon, I need twenty stage two weapons, I will let you make them." At this time, Eric said.
Speaking so, Eric tossed a bag of gold coins to Ye Feng.
"I will come collect the goods in ten days."
"Leave it to me!" After taking the bag of gold coins, Ye Feng said confidently.
Next, Ye Feng gave Avril the Bloodlust Sword before Eric brought his daughter away from the Blacksmith Shop.
The Bloodlust Sword was meant for Avril to begin with, he was also just a Blacksmith and did not need to fight, thus the sword was merely an accessory to him.
Even though he was a little upset when Avril left, Ye Feng had to concentrate on forging weapons, he did not have time to waste, thus he did not ask her to stay.
Furthermore, Eric would not allow Avril to live together with Ye Feng without a proper status.
After the two left, Ye Feng did not enter the warehouse immediately, he checked his new reward after forging the Bloodlust Sword.
[Offensive Skill: Bloodlust]
Special Trait: When combat begins, increase the user's combat strength by 10%, lasting for five minutes.
Offensive skills that raised combat strength seemed powerful, but they were useless to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng had no interest in fighting or killing others, if he had the time, he might as well forge more weapons.
Since forging could raise his strength, what was the point of fighting?
If not for that fact that it was nontransferable, he would have given the offensive skill to Avril.
Putting the matter of the offensive skill aside, Ye Feng entered the warehouse and started to prepare and forge the weapons.
Twenty stage two weapons in ten days.
The truth was, Ye Feng was not absolutely confident of completing the task.
But at this point in time, he had to do his best to try and complete it.
The question now was, how much would his strength increase after forging twenty stage two weapons, would he be able to reach the level of Intermediate Knight?

Chapter 4: Finding Treasure
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next morning.
Ye Feng repaired the Blacksmith Shop's door before heading to the market to buy the materials that he lacked.
The bag of gold coins that Eric gave was sufficient to get all the materials he needed.
The market was open to free trade, most of the goods were materials that adventurers brought back from their exploration.
When Nyzo was around, Ye Feng would often help to purchase materials in the market, he had a rather clear understanding of the market's situation.
Other than getting the materials for the twenty stage two weapons, Ye Feng had another goal, he wanted to find some special materials.
Like the black iron stone that underwent some special change.
With the system's analysis, he could easily decipher if those materials had special traits.
After getting all the materials he needed, Ye Feng started to tour the market.
Indeed, his hard work paid off.
Ye Feng's gaze landed on a piece of purple crystal.
[Purple Obsidian]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Special Trait: Having absorbed the power of lightning, it has gotten much stronger. After forging the equipment, it will gain the power of lightning.
He found a treasure!
The power of lightning was the attribute with the strongest attack power, if this purple obsidian was used to forge a weapon, its power would be higher than the Bloodlust Sword.
If it became a stage three weapon, it could be given to Eric as a gift, that would be a good present to his future father-in-law.
After making up his mind, Ye Feng bought the purple obsidian.
"Ding! Detecting that the Host has found a special material, the Host will be rewarded with the forging blueprint of [Thunder Sword, and the chart of [Lightning Formation]."
Hearing the clear voice in his head, Ye Feng felt a sense of joy.
To think that this purple obsidian did not just reward him a forging blueprint, it also gave him a formation chart.
Having stayed with Nyzo for so many years, Ye Feng's efforts were not wasted.
Formations were only usable by weapons of stage three and above, they had to be carved on the weapon before they were formed, that would be considered a true stage three weapon.
However, carving formations was a difficult matter, with any slight carelessness, the forging would fail.
This was also why forging stage three weapons had a low rate of success.
...
Returning to the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng closed the door and lit the furnace.
He was completely invested in the forging process.
Ye Feng did not hurry to use the purple obsidian or forge the stage two weapons, he searched for a bunch of ordinary materials to practice the Lightning Formation first.
At the same time, Ye Feng had a daring idea in his mind.
Using a tiny amount of stage two materials together with some stage one materials and adding a formation, he wanted to see what grade the forged weapon would be.
Time passed gradually, the sound of hammering could be heard from the Blacksmith Shop unceasingly.
After several failed attempts, Ye Feng finally succeeded in carving the Lightning Formation onto the weapon.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two inferior-grade [Knight's Longsword]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 50 fire elemental points, 50 lightning elemental points, and an increase in physical strength."
[Knight's Longsword]
Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade
Attack Power: 520
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add lightning to attacks and increase attack power by 10%.
Success!
He successfully forged a stage two weapon.
Even though it was only stage two inferior-grade, Ye Feng merely used less than a third of the stage two materials compared to forging a normal stage two weapon.
If news of this spread, some of the Master Blacksmiths' jaws would drop.
Even though it lacked durability, the impact was small.
After all, this Knight's Longsword was able to reach stage two because of the supplemented formation.
"Can I try to use a large amount of stage two materials and a small amount of stage three materials to forge a stage three weapon?" Placing the Knight's Longsword aside, Ye Feng had another daring idea in his head.
It was worth a shot!
Thinking so, Ye Feng raised the temperature of the furnace and took out the small amount of stage three materials that he had.
The new round of forging started.
Ye Feng was completely invested in his work, his bronze colored skin shone like oil under the light of the furnace, he gave off a manly aura.
After a day and night passed, along with countless hammer strikes, a brand new weapon took shape.
After Ye Feng controlled the energy in his body to carve the formation on the weapon, it was finally completed.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two superior-grade [Knight's Heavy Sword]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points, 100 lightning elemental points, and an increase in physical strength."
[Knight's Longsword]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 900
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add lightning to attacks and increase attack power by 10%.
The forging succeeded but Ye Feng was not happy.
Because his goal was to make a stage three weapon, but the product was only stage two superior-grade.
But thinking about it, Ye Feng understood why.
Even though stage two and three weapons were only separated by one realm, there was still a huge gap between them.
Right now, he had just started to learn how to carve formations, he had more chances in the future.
After stopping, Ye Feng did not invest himself into forging immediately, he checked his own body first.
Right now, his body did not just have fire elemental points, there were also lightning elemental points.
The energy contained in each type of element was different, he had more fire element and less lightning element, it was likely due to the weapons he created.
But what Ye Feng did not understand was the effect that these elements had on his body.
In the future, would elements of other attributes enter his body as well?
Even though Ye Feng was a normal person before, he knew some things about cultivation.
In Marfa Continent, there were two main classes, Knights and Magicians.
Knights mainly relied on their physical strength while Magicians were the opposite, they seemed to fight using the elements of the natural world.
But the difficulty of becoming a Magician was a hundred times as hard as becoming a Knight, thus, Magicians were very rare, their statuses were naturally higher as well.
As for the fusion of both classes, it would be even harder, even in a million people, there might not be one who was simultaneously a Magician and a Knight.
Then, in his current condition, was he considered a Magician?
Shaking his head, Ye Feng did not continue to think about this question.
Forging was his main concern now.
Thinking about it, Ye Feng continued to use a small amount of stage three materials together with mainly stage two materials to forge.
Regardless of whether he could make a stage three weapon, as long as these were at least stage two, he could complete the task that Eric gave him.
But to test his hypothesis regarding the elements, Ye Feng chose mostly fire elemental materials.
Not long after, the sounds of hammering could be heard in the Blacksmith Shop again, it was like a symphony.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two superior-grade [Blazing Greatsword]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points, and an increase in physical strength."
[Blazing Greatsword]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 930
Durability: 100
Special Trait: There is a chance to add a burning effect to attacks and cause additional damage to the target.
Next, Ye Feng checked his own body, he found that the fire element and lightning element were moving around unceasingly, helping out each other.
It was clear that the energy of the fire element surpassed the lightning element, it was much fiercer.
Thinking about it, Ye Feng tried to communicate with the elemental energy in his body.
At the next moment, a fireball appeared in his hand.
Looking at the fireball, Ye Feng was overjoyed, was he considered a Magician now?

Chapter 5: Someone Wants To Fight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
But according to what he knew, Magicians needed to chant incantations to use their magic, so what was this situation?
Next, Ye Feng sensed the lightning element in his body.
Similar to the fire element, with just a thought, a flash of lightning appeared abruptly.
Looking at the lightning, Ye Feng could not help but think of something.
He obtained lightning elemental points when he forged weapons with the Lightning Formation, then in the future, if he obtained other elemental materials, would he also gain their elemental magic as well?
Right when Ye Feng was thinking about this, the lightning bolt descended before him.
There was a loud sound.
Because of Ye Feng's lack of control, the lightning bolt landed on a tree in the courtyard.
The green and lush tree instantly became charred black.
And at the root of the tree, there was a deep pit of over several meters.
Nyzo who had just opened the door of the Blacksmith Shop was momentarily stunned.
"What are you trying to do?"
"Teacher, why did you return now?" Ye Feng looked at Nyzo and smiled sheepishly.
"If I had not returned, were you going to tear my shop down?" Nyzo said snappily.
"Why would I do that, I was merely testing the elements in my body."
"Screw testing, I have already made arrangements for you, Uncle Marshall who works at the port needs a steward, you can pack up and head there now." Nyzo said grumpily.
But once he finished his words, Nyzo reacted and looked at Ye Feng with shock.
"What did you say earlier?"
"I was testing the elements in my body." Ye Feng said helplessly.
"What elements? Show me." Nyzo was very agitated.
Ye Feng did not hesitate, he directly mustered the lightning element in his body and did not lose control like the previous time.
"Oh Great Deity of Forging, you actually have lightning elements in your body?" Nyzo was extremely excited: "Since when did this happen, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Not long ago."
"Oh heaven, to think that you have the talent of a Magician, and it is the extremely rare lightning element, it seems like I have been wasting your talent all these years."
"That is not true teacher, I only found out about this recently."
"Alright, enough talk, pack up and go meet Eric with me, you are a Lightning Elemental Magician, Eric is going to be overjoyed, he knows many people, I will make him find a way to get you into the academy of Aden City."
Seeing Nyzo's excitement, Ye Feng could not help but smile bitterly.
Even though they had lived together for three years, he was still not used to that impatient nature.
"Teacher, I do not want to go, I want to stay here and continue learning forging techniques in peace."
"Nonsense, you have the rare lightning element in your body, continuing to learn forging techniques will only hold you back, also, aren't you clear of your own ability in forging? All of your creations in the last three years have been trash, can't you accept reality? Let's go."
"Teacher, I have already forged a stage two weapon."
"What? Stage two weapon? Don't joke with me, you could not even make a stage one weapon a few days ago."
"I'm not kidding, I'll show you."
Saying so, Ye Feng pointed at the weapons that he had just forged earlier.
Nyzo was stunned, he subconsciously looked towards the direction that Ye Feng pointed at.
After freezing for a few seconds, he quickly held up one of the swords and inspected them.
Nyzo's expression turned from surprise into shock, when he looked at the final sword, he went into a complete daze.
"Teacher, how is it, I didn't lie to you right?" Ye Feng looked at Nyzo's reaction, he showed a smile on his face.
After Nyzo regained his senses, the shock on his face did not go away.
"Oh Great Deity of Forging, what did I just witness? Ye Feng, I take back what I said earlier, you are a forging genius, from today onwards, I will hand this Blacksmith Shop to you, it is time for me to leave."
"Teacher, where are you going?" Ye Feng was stunned as he quickly asked.
"I am going to search for a type of special material, I won't be back for some time, with your current ability, I can finally leave the Blacksmith Shop with you."
"What material? I might be able to help you."
"No need, I can handle my own matters, there is no need to trouble you." Nyzo shook his head and said: "I originally wanted to arrange a job for you first, but now there is no need for that, I can leave without worry."
"Here are some stage three materials, you can use them to train your forging techniques."
After saying that, Nyzo gave Ye Feng some metallic materials.
Seeing that Nyzo was turning around and leaving, Ye Feng wanted to send him off but was rejected.
He had no choice but to watch as Nyzo left.
After this departure, he did not know when they would meet again, Ye Feng could not help but feel a little reluctant about it.
He had only managed to survive these three years because of Nyzo.
Even though he called Nyzo teacher, in his heart, he had already treated him as family.
Seeing Nyzo's figure vanished into the street, Ye Feng went back into the Blacksmith Shop, preparing to look at the materials that Nyzo left him.
But right at this time, Avril who wore a white armor appeared at the Blacksmith Shop.
Avril was here to say goodbye to Ye Feng as well, she was going on a mission again.
And her destination was the Demon Beast Canyon that was several hundred miles away, she could not return in the meantime.
The two spent some time together in the Blacksmith Shop before Avril left reluctantly.
"Brother Ye Feng, you must wait for me in Osborne City, I will bring back forging materials for you."
Ye Feng nodded.
Seeing that the people around him were leaving, he felt a little upset.
But soon, he controlled his emotions.
Only by getting stronger could he stop the people around him from leaving!
Thus, Ye Feng casted his gaze towards the materials that Nyzo left him.
[Lava Stone]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Special Trait: Having absorbed the power of lava for a long time, it possesses fire elemental attribute, there is a chance for the forged weapon to gain an additional special trait.
[Hundred Years Iron Wood]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Special Trait: Having experienced wind and rain for many years, it is extremely tough, there is a chance for the forged weapon to gain an additional special trait.
...
After looking at more than ten stage three materials, Ye Feng was incredibly happy.
In Osborne City, not only were stage three materials rare, they were very expensive, it was very hard to gather so many stage three materials.
Next, Ye Feng took a look and decided to use the Hundred Years Iron Wood to forge a weapon, to try and see if he could get any wood element reward.
Fire element increased physical strength, lightning element had the strongest attack power, while wood element represented vitality, it had healing effects, there were many wood element doctors in Osborne City.
If the wood element mutated and transformed into the life element, it would have far greater healing effects than wood element, but there were extremely few people with the life element.
But right when Ye Feng sorted out his materials and was ready to start forging, he heard a banging sound at the door.
Ye Feng could not help but frown, hearing this loud banging, it was clear that the visitor did not come in peace.
He had always been forging weapons in the Blacksmith Shop, he did not offend anyone, so who could it be?
This could not be Eric of course, there were still seven days from their agreement of ten days, he would not come here.
So it was quite confusing who would come here now.
Once Ye Feng opened the door, he heard a loud voice.
"Ye Feng, I want to have a duel with you!"

Chapter 6: Sick of Living
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Right when Ye Feng was about to forge a stage three weapon with wood attribute imbued in it, the door of the Blacksmith Shop was pounded and he heard a vicious shout when he opened the door in perplexity.
"Ye Feng, I want to have a duel with you!"
Ye Feng looked at this muscular man who was two meters tall and had broad shoulders and an even thicker waist, he wore a silvery white armor that complemented his heroic demeanor.
But the man was carrying his helmet instead of wearing it, his extremely grotesque face was exposed, completely ruining his image.
Having lived in Osborne City for three years, Ye Feng knew who this was, it was the son of Osborne City Lord — Donald!
Donald had always been in love with Avril, after Ye Feng and Avril's intimate night, he came the very next day, this was quite an interesting situation.
"To think that it is this shabby Blacksmith Shop, only servants would come here in the past, it is truly humiliating to my noble status that I came personally."
Donald knew that Ye Feng liked Avril too, he pinched his nose and showed a look of disgust to purposely provoke Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng was not affected: "Oh? Is that so? Since the Blacksmith Shop is an insult to your noble status, why don't you leave, I am busy now, forgive me for not attending to you."
"You!"
Donald gritted his teeth, not expecting that Ye Feng did not take the bait. After looking around the Blacksmith Shop, he stopped wasting time, he snorted coldly: "I heard that you are a Knight now? Then in the name of the Sacred Holy Sword, I challenge you to a duel between Knights!"
"I reject it, please leave."
Ye Feng said plainly as he shut the door of the Blacksmith Shop, Donald was left standing outside, staring blankly into space.
With Ye Feng's easy-going temperament, no matter how Donald provoked him, he would only treat this Osborne City's young master as air, he would never do anything excessive to Donald, the ridiculous "duel between knights" was completely pointless in his perspective, he would rather forge something using that time, besides, he felt disdain towards fighting someone like Donald.
Now that Ye Feng was about to forge a stage three wood attribute weapon, he had no time to waste with this young master of Osborne City, and now that the World Creator System had awakened, his forging technique would become more and more proficient as he practiced.
Furthermore, the World Creator System would also raise Ye Feng's strength according to the quality of the forged weapon, making him stronger and stronger, and also giving him more offensive skills!
Thus, only strength and forging ability mattered to him, in the future, he could become a supreme expert through his forging, nobody would dare to make any slightest comment about him and Avril being together.
A person like Donald, in Ye Feng's eyes, was simply a clown, he could not even be bothered to deal with him. When trying to compete with an expert, the weaker party would always lose out regardless of result.
If he had so much time, he might as well forge two more weapons.
But Donald, who was standing outside, did not think like this, he was the son of Osborne City Lord, anyone who met him had to give him respect, but he was actually treated like this by a tiny Blacksmith Shop.
With more and more spectators coming, he felt that his pride was damaged, he was getting embarrassed.
Donald became overcome with rage, he kicked the door of the Blacksmith Shop away, this broken door was merely like a piece of paper to an Intermediate Knight like him.
"Ye Feng! You have to duel me even if you refuse! You are not suitable for Avril, today's duel will determine who is the true person suited for Avril!"
Ye Feng looked at the fallen door in a daze, his whole face trembled with anger, his eyebrows were knitted together, and there was already a strong trace of anger between his eyebrows.
Ever since his transmigration, he had been easy going with anyone, but deep in his heart, within his subconscious mind, there were two lines that could not be crossed.
One was his lover Avril, the other was his teacher who he treated like a father, Nyzo.
Nyzo's lifelong effort was spent on this Blacksmith Shop, now that the door was broken by this spoiled young master, it was simply a slap on Nyzo's face!
This could not be forgiven!
Donald pounced menacingly, with a Knight's Heavy Sword in his hand, he struck at Ye Feng's head, and as he got closer and closer to Ye Feng's skull, his mouth showed a brutal expression of hatred, making his ugly face even more hideous.
Even if he killed this kid who defiled the sacred goddess, it would not be a problem.
He was the son of Osborne City Lord, while the other was an employee of this Blacksmith Shop, it was evident whose life had more value.
"Die!"
Right when Donald's heavy sword was about to land on Ye Feng, and those spectators of Osborne City thought that this Blacksmith kid was about to be slaughtered...
Ye Feng moved!
With an intense spark in the Blacksmith Shop, a silver-white figure flew out of the shop with a loud bang, he even rolled over a few times.
"Scram! If you damage the Blacksmith Shop any further, I will take your life!"
Ye Feng said coldly and looked around at the crowd, he then picked up the door that had fallen to the ground, and after a while of hammering, the door was fixed again.
Ye Feng did not care about the matters outside of the shop, he also did not care about Donald, but if he dared to cause any more damage to the shop, Ye Feng would do as he said.
Ye Feng placed the hundred years iron wood on the table, preparing to forge the stage three weapon. After all, Avril often went on missions, if she could have a wood attribute defensive equipment, she would have increased survivability.
One had to know, the healing effect of wood attribute surpassed ordinary herbs.
Hammering sounds started to resound in the Blacksmith Shop, while the outside also went quiet.
Stage three weapons seemed to be only one level higher than stage two, but with the difference of three levels of quality, the forging difficulty was obvious, this was also a newbie who had just forged his first weapon less than a week ago.
As the incomplete weapon was revealed, beads of sweat appeared on Ye Feng's forehead, if he was able to finish the stage three weapon in one go, then it would be easier to enchant next, he would most likely get a powerful stage three middle-grade weapon!
The final strike would decide success or failure!
Ye Feng raised the hammer to the air, suddenly, a sound came from the door again, it did not just fall over, it was completely smashed to pieces.
He saw that Donald was in a sword stance with many followers behind him, there were roughly over fifty people, all of them wore armor.
"Ye Feng, so what if I destroy your Blacksmith Shop today?"
Ye Feng did not manage to complete the last strike, the incomplete weapon shattered like the door, his eyes squinted into a fine line, an intense rage that was unprecedented filled his mind and body!
"Donald, you must be sick of living!"

Chapter 7: Magic Outburst
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Feng, who was normally easygoing, burst out with intense rage at this moment, this anger did not appear when others called him useless at forging, or when Eric forced him to break up with Avril.
But now that Donald destroyed the door of the Blacksmith Shop, he finally erupted completely!
Ye Feng used the light of the Blacksmith Shop to conceal the fact that he knew magic earlier, he used fire elemental energy to send Donald flying.
But this guy did not learn his lesson, he came back with even more servants!
Donald held his chest, he was a young master indeed, but he was not stupid, he had gone to many huge events with his father, against the unknown method that managed to send him flying, he became extremely alert.
To play safe, he even brought many henchmen.
Donald did not dare to enter directly, he stood outside the shop and shouted: "That dwarf blacksmith called Nyzo knows you are a useless trash, he should have left you many treasures to protect yourself right?"
"You can come try."
Ye Feng stood within the Blacksmith Shop, holding the hammer in his right hand, it seemed very threatening.
Donald gulped with a very nervous expression, he waved his hand for two henchmen to enter first, but once they stepped into the Blacksmith Shop, they were sent flying, they cried out on the ground in pain, there was no warning!
"You two, did you see what happened!"
The two henchmen shook their heads, the moment they stepped into the Blacksmith Shop, they felt a strong gust of wind before they were sent out without warning.
Ye Feng snorted coldly: "What? The great young master of the City Lord does not even dare to enter a mere Blacksmith Shop? Then fine, I will come out to talk with you!"
Saying so, Ye Feng stepped on the broken door and lifted the curtain to arrive at the street, his upright body and the coldness between his eyebrows made his aura rival the fifty or more servants of the City Lord Manor.
All of those lackeys who were not fit to be called humans took a step back in unison.
Donald refused to believe that a useless person would become so strong overnight, that old dwarf must have left him some amazing treasures.
The dwarf race was the most mysterious race on Marfa Continent, they could forge weapons unimaginable to humans, even divine weapons could be forged from their hammers.
Donald smiled coldly, he held the stage two superior-grade heavy sword that his father spent a lot of money to buy in his hand, it had a lot of metal elemental energy inside and had the offensive skill [Slicing Metal like Mud, it could raise his combat strength to a great extent.
"I want to see what this trash can rely on after leaving the Blacksmith Shop!"
Donald foolishly slashed at Ye Feng, the latter only twisted his body to dodge the heavy sword that slammed on the ground, creating a huge pit on the road of the street.
Ye Feng struck swiftly with the hammer in his hand, hitting Donald's waist and sending this young master, who had no idea who he was trifling with, flying for several meters.
The silvery white armor that he wore also cracked, he was in a pathetic state! Before Donald stood up, Ye Feng jumped up and slammed the hammer down on his chest again.
Crack.
Donald coughed out a mouthful of blood, he sprawled weakly on the ground in disbelief, how could an Intermediate Knight like himself who was using a stage two superior-grade sword be unable to even take one hit from a useless trash holding an ordinary hammer!
"Go... go! Kill him! Flatten this Blacksmith Shop to the ground! Kill him!"
Donald screamed at the top of his lungs, ordering his henchmen to attack Ye Feng!
More than fifty people surrounded Ye Feng, they all had Elementary Knight level combat strength, their weapons also varied greatly, Ye Feng's hammer could not defend against so many people, using just his physical defense against them was quite difficult.
Ye Feng frowned, he had already used his bloodlust offensive skill, it raised his combat strength by 10%, each time he waved his hammer, someone would fly backwards while coughing blood.
But there were too many enemies, sometimes, he would be unable to react to a few of them, after some time, the pressure that they emitted on him surpassed their young master.
"This cannot go on..."
If he concealed his strength any further, there might be trouble!
Ye Feng's expression turned harsh, he waved the hammer around to force them away, next, he willed as an energy lump that was filled with fire elements burned intensely like a flame.
Under everyone's gaze, this lump of fire energy exploded around him!
When the fire elements dispersed, a series of crackling sounds could be heard in his hand, purple lightning shot out directly at the surrounding armored knights!
With the attack of fire and lightning, more than fifty enemies fell to the ground, they could not put up a resistance.
"Donald, I already said it, if you dare to damage the Blacksmith Shop, I will dare to kill you!"
Fire energy gathered in Ye Feng's hands again, under everyone's shocked gaze, it exploded on Donald's body.
"Retreat! The enemy is too strong, we must retreat!"
Donald did not struggle at all, his eyes had turned white, it was unknown if he was still alive or dead, his henchmen quickly grabbed him and retreated in panic.
Ye Feng did not give chase, he only looked at his surroundings before entering the Blacksmith Shop that was covered in red light again.
"Slam!"
In the City Lord Manor, a muscular man wearing elegant clothing destroyed the wooden table before him, his angry expression looked very similar to Donald.
This person was Donald's father, the Osborne City Lord Donjedo!
"Even with so many people, you failed to capture a simple blacksmith, you even caused your young master to suffer such severe injuries, what were you doing!"
One person was kneeling on the ground, lowering his heads in silence, he was the leader of these guards, now that they failed in their mission, the responsibility landed on him.
Donjedo had a dark expression: "I want you to capture that kid by today and bring me the treasures of that Blacksmith Shop to compensate for your failure, otherwise, you don't have to come back alive!"
A fierce and cruel expression flashed on this guard captain's face, he nodded solemnly and vanished on the spot.
"Hmph! I do not believe that a superior-class Intermediate Knight cannot take down a rascal like him!"

Chapter 8: Beast Tide
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Night time.
The Blacksmith Shop with only a curtain remaining emitted hammering sounds as Ye Feng stood before the furnace, continuing to forge his stage three wood attribute weapon.
Suddenly, there was a huge gust of wind as Ye Feng's expression froze, he raised the hammer in his hand and heard a loud 'clank' sound, Ye Feng was forced to move back by several meters.
This was an expert who came, he was at least a medial-class Intermediate Knight in strength!
"I thought you would be someone formidable."
The guard captain swung the silvery white sword in his hand again, Ye Feng quickly blocked the attack but his hammer was sent flying by the sword.
Ye Feng realized deeply that this opponent was very strong, he did not hesitate to use the fire and lightning elements that he had.
But the guard captain did not give Ye Feng this chance, a white light suddenly gathered in his hand and slammed down on Ye Feng's hand, causing him to be knocked back.
Ye Feng crashed onto a table as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
This tiny Blacksmith Shop could not allow Ye Feng to use his true strength.
"This is all you can do?" The person looked at Ye Feng with a cold smile on his face.
While speaking, the sword in his hand did not stop moving, it slashed down at Ye Feng again.
Undeniably, if this hit landed on Ye Feng, it would be a disastrous outcome.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared before Ye Feng, this person had an intensely pure and sacred aura, he had a sword that was even longer than his height, forcing the guard captain back with one move!
"I heard that the City Lord is making a move on you, to think that they will send out an Intermediate Knight, this is quite something!"
"Eric!"
Ye Feng was overjoyed, the reason Eric was willing to save him was definitely because of Avril, but it was also a form of recognition from Eric.
Eric saw through Ye Feng's thoughts immediately: "Don't misunderstand, Nyzo told me that you have the potential to be a Magician, you have barely qualified to be a part of our family, also... I need those twenty stage two weapons badly, so you cannot die."
After that, Eric ignored Ye Feng and looked at the guard captain coldly: "Has the City Lord Manor fallen to this level, you are trying to bully a blacksmith kid to feel superiority? Superior-class Intermediate Knight, Munack!"
The guard captain whose name was Munack smiled darkly: "Eric, since you know it is the grand City Lord Manor's order, you still dare to obstruct me? Don't you know that Osla and Apal are preying on you, you still dare to oppose the City Lord Manor?"
"Bam!"
"You speak too much."
The long and thin silver sword immediately drew a red line of blood on Munack's neck, this superior-class Intermediate Knight was unable to even take one attack from the Advanced Knight!
"Uncle Eric, thank you."
"No need for that, remember you have three days left."
Eric only glanced at Ye Feng as his armor shook and he vanished on the spot.
Strength!
Ye Feng clenched his fists, he felt that he was still too weak, the Advanced Knight Eric was like a huge mountain standing in front of him, the only thing he could do now was to continue forging and get stronger!
Ye Feng had a firm expression, he lit the furnace again and held his hammer to start forging by shaping the mold.
This time, it was very successful, he finished the final hit on the Knight's Dagger, there was a trace of joy on his face as he took out the hundred years iron wood, enchanting it according to the method in his mind!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage three middle-grade [Nature Dagger]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 wood elemental points and an increase in physical recovery ability!"
[Nature Dagger]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Attack Power: 1580
Durability: 110
Special Trait: When in combat, there will be a chance of recovering from injuries and regaining stamina.
Next, Ye Feng took a look at his physical condition, the fire elements and lightning elements continued to move around while enveloped in wood elements.
Because of the vitality that the wood elements gave him, Ye Feng who had been forging for a day and night felt his fatigue going away.
At the same time, Donjedo had already received Munack's corpse who was sent back to the City Lord Manor, there was no expression on his face, he only came to the corpse and started inspecting it.
Finally, at Munack's neck, he found a tiny wound, this type of fatal attack that could take the life of a superior-class Intermediate Knight so subtly could only be unleashed by that Advanced Knight Eric!
"Eric, well done, it seems that Osla and Apal are not giving you enough pressure, you dare to provoke the City Lord Manor because of a kid from a tiny Blacksmith Shop. I swear to the Glory of the Sacred Knights, I will make sure all of you die without a proper corpse!"
Donjedo's ruthless expression was shown all over his face.
Next, he summoned two subordinates and instructed sinisterly: "Go and find Osla and Apal in secret, tell them that if they want to devour Eric's forces, come to the City Lord Manor!"
The two subordinates acknowledged the order and left.
Right after his subordinates left, in the demon beast forest behind Osborne City, there was a loud growl!
This growl of the beast was like a rock that entered a tranquil lake, it created huge ripples in the quiet night of Osborne City!
Donjedo flustered immediately, there were many fierce and powerful demon beasts in the forest behind Osborne City, at the most inner core of the forest, there was a fierce demon beast that had never shown itself, it was said to have superior-class Advanced Knight strength, if it was enraged, it could even injure Bronze Knights...
A demon beast that could emit such a growl could only be the king of the demon beasts within the forest!
"Check, go and check it, we must be prepared against this, don't let the beast tide gather!"
...
And at this time, inside the demon beast forest, there was a thin and long shadow, carrying a demon beast egg that was the size of a head, sprinting rapidly in the forest with countless demon beasts growling in a frenzy, chasing after the shadow.
The reason was clearly because of the demon beast egg in the shadow's hands!
...
Inside Osborne City.
Ye Feng looked at the Nature Dagger in his hand and showed a smile of satisfaction.
But at the next moment, he heard a loud growl.
Demon beast!
At the first instant, Ye Feng recognized what it was.
Immediately, he kept away the Nature Dagger and his figure vanished from the Blacksmith Shop.
Not long after, at the fringe of Osborne City, Ye Feng looked at the attacking demon beasts as brilliance flashed across his eyes.
This was a great chance for him, he could train his combat abilities while also hunting demon cores!
Of course, Ye Feng was not in a rush, if he charged into the tide of demon beasts now, it would be a suicidal move, once the group that would resist the demon beasts gather, he could charge in along with them.

Chapter 9: Healing Effect of Nature Dagger
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Soon, at the other side of Osborne City, many people gathered.
Most were the Knights of the various clans, as well as some lone mercenaries.
For some people, the beast tide was not just a beast tide, it was a great opportunity for them!
Every demon beast had a demon core, within the demon core, there was the origin energy of the demon beast, and even without the demon core, the demon beast's skin and bones were all great forging materials.
Of course, the price would be high if they were sold as well.
But in Ye Feng's view, be it demon core, beast skin, or bones, they were all materials for him to forge weapons.
In the blink of an eye, the beast tide arrived at the city.
The Knights and Mercenaries quickly engaged in battle with the demon beasts.
There was a constant stream of shouts and fighting sounds, mixed with the roars of countless beasts.
Ye Feng was not idle either, he rushed into the beast tide to look for prey.
Stage one demon beasts were too weak, he had no desire to attack them, they would only waste his time.
His targets were the stage two or even higher demon beasts in this tide!
But the demon beast forest near Osborne City was not big, there were few stage two demon beasts.
Thus, in this beast tide, most were stage one demon beasts.
As a result, Ye Feng quickly moved through the beast tide, going towards the mountain near the back of the beast tide.
That was the ideal destination, it had a large number of stage two demon beasts!
"Roar!"
At this time, a wild bull with a weird appearance attacked Ye Feng suddenly.
[Wild Bull]
Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade
Special Trait: Charging horn attack.
"Good timing!"
Ye Feng was still worrying about where he could find the stage two demon beasts, to think that one would come to him the moment he arrived.
The bull's horn rammed straight at Ye Feng as he leaped up high, without even using the magic energy in his body, with one punch, he broke the hard horn on the bull's head and caused its brain to splatter as it died.
Ye Feng stepped forward, using the Nature Dagger to remove the wild bull's durable and flexible skin, he then found a shining brown demon core in the wild bull's broken skull!
[Wild Bull Demon Core]
Energy: Earth Elemental
Grade: Stage Two
Special Trait: When used to enchant a weapon, attack power will be raised. When used to enchant armor, defense power will be raised.
Ye Feng could not help but show a smug smile, he had not even tried to forge defensive equipment yet, one reason was that he lacked suitable materials, the other reason was that he did not have anything that could raise the defensiveness of an equipment.
This stage two demon core of the wild bull satisfied the requirement.
After this beast tide ends, he could try to forge a defensive equipment!
Thinking so, Ye Feng continued on his way.
Before he even walked for a few steps, he was attracted by a rock nearby, there was an aura on that rock that could prickle one's skin!
This demon beast forest did not just have demon beasts, it also had materials that were nurtured for many years!
Ye Feng quickly ran over and wanted to excavate the rock when suddenly, he heard some sounds near him as he subconsciously jumped and dodged the fatal attack!
"Snort!"
[Steel Boar]
Grade: Stage Two Middle-grade
Special Trait: Extremely high defense, able to unleash wind that acts like blades.
The steel boar's eyes were red as it stared at Ye Feng, as if something had been taken away from it, it snorted again, and right when Ye Feng thought it was going to pounce, but it actually opened its mouth and a gust of wind shot out from within.
"This beast! I haven't even touched it right? Little beast, you are way too stingy, you are a disgrace to all beasts."
Ye Feng, who was still teasing the beast, did not show any mercy. A stage two middle-grade demon beast was already enough for him to get serious, although the other party was just a boar...
As the tornado wind that resembled blades attacked him, a huge and heated lump of magic energy gathered in Ye Feng's hands, a fireball was produced that shot through the wind, landing on the steel boar's body!
But this steel boar's defense was really amazing, even after getting hit by this fire magic, it only flew away and shook its head before standing up again.
Ye Feng reassessed the immense defense of this steel boar, its skin might be even tougher than the wild bull!
This time, the steel boar did not use the wind attack, it charged at Ye Feng with its tough body!
Retreating was not Ye Feng's style. Even though this demon beast was fierce, it was not threatening enough for him to use his full strength, thus he raised his dagger and stabbed at the steel boar's head!
"Clank!"
There was a metallic sound from the clash of the dagger and boar, Ye Feng's hand turned numb from the impact.
But that beast was not having an easy time either, its red eyes were going to roll white, it started to stagger around, there was a huge wound on its head that exposed its skull.
But this demon beast was still forcefully standing.
"Time to fall!"
"Bam!"
Ye Feng gathered magic flames in his hand again, pressing down on the steel boar's head, frying this demon beast's skull into a roasted boar head, a demon core shining in golden light rolled out on its own.
[Steel Boar Demon Core]
Energy: Earth Elemental
Grade: Stage Two
Special Trait: When used to enchant a weapon, attack power will be greatly raised.
Ye Feng did the same thing as earlier, taking the skin of the steel boar, this metallic skin made Ye Feng frown, it was not a material that suited the forging of defensive equipment, it was more suitable to make bows and arrows.
"It is better than nothing."
Next, Ye Feng kept the demon cores away and was about to see what was below the rock when a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, slashing at him!
"Slash!"
The silvery white heavy sword directly tore across Ye Feng's chest, he subconsciously retaliated with the Nature Dagger before taking a few steps back while scattering medicine on his wound.
A trace of ruthlessness flashed on Ye Feng's face.
Sneak attack!
He was sneak attacked again!
After stabilizing his injuries, magic flames surged as a fireball shot towards the attacker.
But that person easily avoided it, he then arrived before Ye Feng and slashed with his Knight's Heavy Sword again.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly raised his Nature Dagger to fight back!
At the same time, lightning gathered in his other hand, while blocking the attacker, he also sent out one lightning bolt.
Caught unguarded, the attacker was hit by the lightning bolt and fell into temporary paralysis.
Ye Feng did not hold back, his Nature Dagger slashed at that person.
As the person lay in the pool of blood, a warm green light appeared on the Nature Dagger, healing Ye Feng's wounds rapidly.

Chapter 10: Give You A Few More
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Next, Ye Feng searched the person's body and found seven to eight stage two demon cores.
There was nothing else that was useful.
But at this moment, Ye feng had an answer already.
After facing these assassinations, he put the blame on Donald.
Be it Donald or the City Lord Donjedo, they would have to pay the price!
After calming his emotions, Ye Feng walked towards that mysterious rock.
[Star Iron]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: Having absorbed the power of the stars, when forging weapons, attack power can be raised.
Stage three material!
It was definitely valuable.
This trip was not in vain!
Compared to the stage two demon cores, the star iron made Ye Feng happier.
The beast tide lasted for two days, Ye Feng stayed in the demon beast forest for two days and nights, he killed almost all of the demon beasts up till the midway of the mountain.
He even gained another stage three material, ice demon core.
It belonged to a stage three inferior-grade python, its breath could freeze enemies, it had the strength of a human inferior-grade Advanced Knight.
In that battle, Ye Feng used all of his strength but still got nearby eaten by this ice python, if he had not activated the recovery wind of the Nature Dagger, he would have died.
Thankfully, the ice python had not fully awakened its spirituality yet.
...
The beast tide subsided.
The Mercenaries and troops of Osborne City also retaliated fiercely, eventually, they fought their way up to half the mountain of the demon beast forest.
But over there, there were no demon beasts left.
Thus, these mercenaries returned empty handed.
In the Blacksmith Shop.
He had already seen the poor state of the city when he returned, to think that the beast tide would cause such an impact.
Among which, Osla clan which lives at the edge of Osborne City suffered huge losses, in order to stop their losses, they threatened Eric, Apal, and Donjedo that they would bring down the city with them, only then did the two Advanced Knights also join the battlefield.
Of course, this matter was none of Ye Feng's concern.
In the forging room, Ye Feng took out his bag that was loaded with loot, he poured out over forty colorful demon cores!
Ye Feng picked out a few demon cores that were unusable and placed them at one side, he started the fire of the furnace.
Only one day was left until he had to hand Eric the twenty stage two weapons, he had to complete the mission today.
Regardless of what potential he had, as long as he failed to complete the mission by Eric, it would leave a terrible impression!
"Swoosh!"
The flame started to burn intensely as the temperature of the room rose intensely.
Soon, a series of hammering sounds could be heard from within the Blacksmith Shop.
Not long after, a stage two product appeared before Ye Feng.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage two inferior-grade [Earth's Oath]."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 earth elemental points, 100 fire elemental points, and an increase in physical strength."
[Earth's Oath]
Grade: Stage Two Middle-grade
Attack Power: 970
Durability: 100
Special Trait: In combat, there will be a chance of creating an earth wall to obstruct enemies.
Tossing the stage two weapon aside, Ye Feng continued to pour materials into the furnace before raising his hammer.
Ding ding...
Not long ago, another longsword appeared before Ye Feng.
[Burning Longsword]
Grade: Stage Two Middle-grade
Attack Power: 990
Durability: 100
Special Trait: In combat, there is a chance to unleash a fire attack that greatly raises the damage.
[Knight's Flame]
Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade
Attack Power: 910
Durability: 100
Special Trait: In combat, there is a small chance to cause fire damage.
"Ding! Congratulations for obtaining 50 fire elemental points, and a small increase in attack power."
...
"Ding! Congratulations for obtaining: [Knight's Longsword, [Sacred Water Dagger, [Deep Soil Heavy Sword, [Waterfall Sword, [Knight's Heavy Sword]..."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 fire elemental points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 water elemental points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 100 earth elemental points!"
"..."
Ye Feng's clothes were wet with perspiration, his entire body was also undergoing a marvelous transformation.
As his forging continued to succeed, more and more system messages could be heard, with the final hit of the hammer, a water demon core that did not seem high in quality actually managed to become a stage two superior-grade weapon!
[Water Deity's Secret Order]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Attack Power: 1000
Durability: 100
Special Trait: [Offensive Skill: Water Prison] (Able to restrain and trap enemies during combat).
"Ding! Congratulations! [Offensive Skill: Water Prison] obtained! Congratulations! You have become a superior-class Intermediate Knight! Congratulations! You have become a Two Star Magician!"
"Huff..."
Ye Feng let out a deep breath, he looked at the twenty stage two weapons scattered on his table, he smiled in satisfaction, the mission was completed, even though he felt very tired now, he was very relaxed mentally.
Using the steel boar skin to cover the table, Ye Feng who was extremely tired and mentally relaxed went to sleep immediately.
Suddenly! Ye Feng felt a sensation of falling, he quickly opened his eyes and saw a beautiful figure wearing a silvery white armor smiling at him while bending down.
"Avril? When did you return?" Seeing the person before him, Ye Feng felt a sense of joy.
"We just returned, I came to meet you immediately."
While she was speaking, Ye Feng held up Avril.
"I have already forged the twenty stage two weapons! Avril, you don't have to worry about your father obstructing us anymore!"
"Brother Ye Feng, I knew you could do it!"
While the two of them were tangled together, they heard a soft cough.
"Cough! Avril, your father is not dead yet! Don't act so presumptuously!"
Avril quickly got away from Ye Feng, she walked away with a reddened face.
Ye Feng patted his head, he thought that Avril had arrived immediately after he fell asleep, but after looking at the clock, he realized that now was already noon of the second day, the time of his agreement with Eric.
Eric walked to Ye Feng and sat down, he said calmly: "Twenty stage two weapons, not one less, otherwise..."
"Clank!"
Before Eric finished, Ye Feng unveiled the steel boar skin and revealed more than twenty stage two weapons, among which, there were two stage two superior-grade weapons!
"What?!"
Eric looked at the weapons in shock, disbelief was shown all over his face.
"You forged all these weapons? They are even enchanted with demon cores!"
"Indeed."
Ye Feng shrugged: "Twenty-three weapons, I even exceeded our agreement, the extra ones will be a gift for you, Sir Eric, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Very satisfied!"
Eric's face was flushed red, he knew the potential of this young man now, it was even higher than what Nyzo described!
He had simply found a treasure!

Chapter 11: Greater Reputation Is Not Good
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
With these twenty-three stage two weapons, Eric's clan would gain a huge rise in strength, even if Osla and Apal's clans worked together, Eric would not fear them.
Furthermore, Osla clan had lost half their foundation from this beast tide.
Now that they had these weapons, in the entire Osborne City, there was no single clan stronger than Eric's one! Even if they had the backing of the City Lord!
Soon, Eric kept away the twenty-three stage two weapons and no longer nagged at Avril, he only told her to mind her own image and go home sooner before he left.
...
At the same time, at the other end of Osborne City, Apal who had a sinister look went to find Osla who was upset and angry.
Osla was someone with a fiery temper to begin with, he originally felt disdain towards a sinister person like Apal, as well as a self-righteous man like Eric.
After hearing that Apal was coming, Osla's face immediately showed intense displeasure.
In fact, he did not even go to meet Apal, he felt that this beast tide had something to do with either Apal or Eric after all.
Even if there was no relationship, Apal did not come here in peace either.
However, Apal still made his way to Osla's room.
"Oh, my goodness, I have never seen you in a more pathetic state, my dear Osla."
A tall, thin man with two lines of mustache that looked like mouse whiskers walked in, having a smile on his lips.
Seeing his sinister state, Osla felt that this crafty person was up to no good.
"Apal, are you here to see us as a joke? If so, please go back, if our Osla clan recovers from this, we will pretend nothing happened. If we are unable to return to our original state, I will not let any of you off!"
"Listen to yourself! Old friend, what are you talking about, why does it sound like I was the one who created this beast tide." Apal squinted and said: "Look at it objectively, who benefited the most from this beast tide?"
Osla sneered: "I didn't see any benefits, I only know that my losses were the most severe!"
Apal patted his head, it was really troublesome to talk to someone without wits, if not for his desire to get rid of Eric, he would not have wanted to cooperate with Osla.
But he could only gain benefits by cooperating with Osla now.
"My dear Osla, think about your clan's businesses that are near the commoners at the edge of the city, beyond that are my businesses, and at the center of the city are Eric's businesses. This beast tide came straight towards the city, we are the ones who were the first to bear the brunt. Brother Osla, you have suffered heavy losses, but my losses are not small either!"
"You mean to say..."
Osla was simpleminded but he was still a superior-class Advanced Knight that managed to raise his clan to this level, he was not purely a fool.
He guessed that since Apal and him were the ones who bore the brunt of this beast tide, the greatest winner was either Eric or the City Lord!
And the City Lord's son Donald seemed to have been heavily injured by a blacksmith kid, he ordered his subordinate to kill that kid but Eric stopped him.
Which meant...
Osla frowned: "It's Eric!"
But Apal quickly waved his hand: "I didn't say it was Eric, let's investigate first and not blame the wrong person."
"There is a stage three demon beast in the forest, I heard that it produced an offspring recently, did someone try to steal the offspring which caused the beast tide to occur? We can send our clans' Intermediate Knights to go to the demon beast forest and search around for evidence at the middle or top of the mountain."
Saying so, Apal waved his hand as eight Intermediate Knights walked into the room: "How is it, am I sincere enough? You can send a few more people to investigate."
"Okay!"
Osla and Apal cooperated at once.
Sending a group that had inferior-class Intermediate Knights at least, they went off to the demon beast forest.
The demon beast forest that no longer had a beast tide was very weak compared to this group, not long after, they completed their mission and brought back a thin silver sword to Osla.
In the entire Osborne City, the only person who could head to the middle of the mountain alone who also owned a thin and long silver sword was Eric!
"Thud!"
Osla slammed the table and destroyed it, gritting his teeth in anger: "Eric! Too despicable! He actually used this despicable method to weaken me! I will declare war on you!"
Seeing this, Apal's lips curled up into a sinister smile.
...
On the next day, before Osborne City even recovered from the aftermath of the beast tide, alarming news was spread!
"Osla is declaring war on Eric!"
As for Apal and Donjedo, they chose to stay at the sidelines and observe this battle without doing anything.
But Eric had no fear towards Osla.
In the following half a month, Osla and Eric's forces clashed with rising intensity.
But Eric had the upper hand all along.
The reason was simple, after getting Ye Feng's help, Eric assembled a group that carried all of Ye Feng's weapons, their strength grew drastically, they were no longer considered an ordinary group.
Apal and Donjedo who wanted to play some tricks at first were also deeply shocked by the strength of his force.
Those powerful weapons all had magical energy, a medial-class Intermediate Knight was able to unleash the combat strength of a superior-class Intermediate Knight!
At the same time, Ye Feng's reputation also spread in Osborne City.
News that he was the blacksmith who made those weapons had spread.
Thus, there was a particularly funny sight in Osborne City, while the two clans were fighting heatedly along the streets, Ye Feng's shop was gaining popularity instead.
Among these people who came to find Ye Feng, be it commoners or rich bosses and merchants, or even the auction houses of Osborne City, they wanted him to forge things for them.
Most of them wanted him to make the most common Knight's Longsword.
But making that weapon could not raise his strength, it was as good as being without a reward.
This situation gave Ye Feng a huge headache.
So be it that these commoners wanted the lowest grade Knight's Longsword, but the Osborne City Auction House was even more overbearing, they wanted Ye Feng to become their private blacksmith!
Undoubtedly, Ye Feng would not agree to such an absurd request, he immediately chased them away.
He also did not accept the request of anyone else.
He did not lack money now, he only needed materials.
If anyone used materials to exchange for weapons, it would be a good thing for him.

Chapter 12: Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, Advanced Knight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After thinking about it, Ye Feng decided to hang a huge signboard outside the Blacksmith Shop.
"A maximum of three stage two weapons a day, those who use materials to exchange for them will get priority."
Forging stage two weapons would raise Ye Feng's strength substantially.
Furthermore, he would gain some forging materials as well, he would not need to worry about running out of them.
He would even save time by not having to go outside to buy them.
After hanging the signboard outside the Blacksmith Shop, the commotion got smaller, but even so, the Blacksmith Shop was still getting a huge influx of customers.
Of course, there was an exception in Osborne City.
Obviously, it was Eric's clan.
With Avril around, Ye Feng would give Eric's clan the priority if they needed weapons.
On this day.
Avril appeared in the Blacksmith Shop, after keeping the stage two weapon that Ye Feng prepared for her, she was about to leave when suddenly, Ye Feng called out to her.
These days, Apal and Osla's clans, and even the people from the City Lord Manor came to the Blacksmith Shop frequently, their goal was obvious.
But Ye Feng rejected them all.
"Apal, Osla, and the City Lord Manor's people are coming constantly these days, I am thinking of selling them stage two weapons, what do you think?" Ye Feng asked Avril.
Avril smiled gently, she looked like a true goddess while wearing the sacred and pure white armor, she replied: "I'll agree with anything you do."
"Okay, then I will sell them stage two weapons too."
Even though Ye Feng decided to sell weapons to Osla, Apal, and the City Lord Manor's people, he was not going to sell them these weapons so simply.
Right now, he had already learned the forging techniques to make stage three weapons, it was just that the success rate was still low.
Once the success rate rises, he would be able to make a batch of stage three weapons for Eric, by then, would they be afraid of Osla and Apal's stage two weapons?
Not long after, Ye Feng sent Avril away and returned to his Blacksmith Shop again.
At the same time, he waved his hand at the person from Osborne City Auction House who was waiting outside.
The person walked over with a stern expression, he slammed a piece of paper on the table, listing the names of various stage two weapons.
Evidently, he was unhappy that Ye Feng only bothered to talk to Avril earlier and ignored him.
"We will send the blueprints and materials over later, please wait for them. But I need to say something, Osborne City Auction House is your largest client, don't fail to meet the deadline of the order because of your relationship with the girl."
Ye Feng snorted coldly: "My Blacksmith Shop is the only place that can mass produce stage two weapons in Osborne City, I hope you won't interfere with my rules, I don't know if your words can represent the Auction House, but if you can, help me tell them that if they try to bend the rules of my Blacksmith Shop, our contract will be terminated."
The person from Osborne City Auction House was stunned, this was the first time he had seen a person so disrespectful to the Auction House, after all, in the entire Osborne City, regardless of which force it was, even the City Lord would pay them respect.
This Osborne City Auction House was opened here by the orders of Aden City!
"I will report this to them." The man nodded in a dark expression, turning around and leaving.
"I won't send you off!" Ye Feng did not even look at the person.
After the person from the Auction House left, Apal, Osborne City, and the City Lord's people came to the Blacksmith Shop.
"I am the subordinate of City Lord Donjedo, Gonald!"
"I am the subordinate of Osla, Walter!"
"I am the subordinate of Apal, Gewy!"
Ye Feng raised his head lazily and glanced at them before saying: "Go back and report to your masters that I will sell the stage two weapons but at the price of double the materials, understood?"
Gonald and Walter's expressions turned bitter, this Blacksmith was really hard to talk to.
Gonald said: "I need to discuss this with the City Lord, as a subordinate, I cannot decide."
"If you can't decide, then scram. Come here after you're done discussing, but if my mood is bad tomorrow, I might change my mind again." Ye Feng replied snappily.
Since they were enemies anyway, he did not care about maintaining their relationship whatsoever.
Gonald and Walter left in a disheartened manner.
Gewy was just about to rejoice thinking that the Blacksmith Shop was going to work with him, he was about to speak when suddenly, Ye Feng interrupted him mercilessly: "Why are you still here? I can't even remember your name anymore, but similarly, I want double the materials from you too!"
Gewy also left in a disheartened manner.
Seeing this, Ye Feng revealed a smile and turned around to return to his forging furnace, soon, clanking noises could be heard again.
There were many orders left from the Auction House, he was going to use these materials to try and forge a stage three weapon!
Last time, when he gained the purple obsidian, the system rewarded him the Lightning Formation, with his previous success of forging a stage three weapon, he felt that he should use powerful techniques to balance the quality of his forging.
He immediately took action, using the stage three fire magic crystal to forge the mold!
"Clank!"
There was a continuous stream of brittle sounds transmitted throughout the Blacksmith Shop, with Ye Feng's head covered in sweat. The incomplete heavy sword had taken form, it was just missing the last step — enchant it with the stage three magic crystal!
Ye Feng's left hand deployed the Lightning Formation and condensed the fire magic crystal into an energy lump before putting it into the mold.
Suddenly! The flames soared, the powerful fire attribute made the furnace fire run out of control, it was just on the verge of failure, Ye Feng hurriedly pressed the Lightning Formation into the mold, the rising flames slowly extinguished only then, a fiery red weapon appeared before Ye Feng's eyes!
"Ding! Successfully forged [Explosive Flame Heavy Sword]!"
"Ding! Congratulations for obtaining 150 fire elemental points, and an increase in physical strength."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for becoming an inferior-class Advanced Knight!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for becoming a Three Star Magician!"
[Explosive Flame Heavy Sword]
Grade: Stage Three Middle-grade
Attack Power: 1450
Durability: 110
Special Trait: [Offensive Skill: Flaming Meteor] (In combat, there is a chance of releasing a huge flaming meteor to attack the enemy).
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining [Offensive Skill: Flaming Meteor]!"
After a series of system notifications, Ye Feng's smile became wider on his face.
Advanced Knight!
Three Star Magician!
Either of them would allow him to become a huge and influential person in the entire Osborne City.
But now, Ye Feng was not going to stay in just this tiny Osborne City.
Compared to the entire continent, Osborne City was just a tiny insignificant city.
He did not have strength in the past, but now was different!
He wanted to be stronger, he wanted to leave Osborne City!
After making up his mind, Ye Feng made a decision internally.
But it would all be decided after the situation in Osborne City was resolved.
Furthermore, he needed to make arrangements for Avril.
Coming back to reality, Ye Feng looked at the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword.
After holding up this Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, Ye Feng's smile became increasingly wide.

Chapter 13: Absolute Intent To Kill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Feng willed as a surge of flames appeared on the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in his hand, causing the temperature in the room to instantly double!
Just as Ye Feng wanted to put down the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword to continue his forging, a daring idea emerged in his mind.
Ye Feng immediately put it into action as he brought the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword to the courtyard.
With a thought, fire element was released rapidly through the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, a wave of flames shot out while containing traces of sword energy.
The fusion of magic and strength?
Seeing this, Ye Feng fell into exhilaration.
After the amplification of the Heavy Sword, not only did the magical element increase in power, it could even fuse with his physical strength.
After a long while, Ye Feng finally calmed down internally as he kept away the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, continuing his forging.
Arriving at the furnace, Ye Feng took out the wild bull skin and the stage three ice demon core, he wanted to make a defensive equipment for Avril so that her safety could be more secured.
"Ding! Detecting stage three ice demon core and stage two wild bull skin, reward will be the forging blueprint of [Extreme Cold Leather Armor]."
[Extreme Cold Leather Armor]
Grade: Stage Three Inferior-grade
A defensive equipment forging blueprint!
This was out of Ye Feng's expectations.
But this was even better, because it was a stage three defensive equipment, if he forged it, the defensive power would be very impressive!
There was no need to wait, Ye Feng turned up the temperature of the furnace to the highest and took out the defensive equipment mold that Nyzo had barely used and placed it above the flame.
When the mold was burned red by the flame, Ye Feng followed the instructions of the blueprint and put the wild bull skin on top of the mold to melt into a liquid state, and then used the iron steaming method to reduce the release of the flame and reshape the liquid leather with the heat of the flame!
Meanwhile, the stage three ice demon core was in Ye Feng's hand, he used the furnace to reshape the wild bull skin while using fire magic to burn the stage three ice demon core.
This ice attribute was the opposite of fire attribute, if both attributes were of the same level, then the flames would be helpless against the ice, but Ye Feng was a Three Star Magician now, his most formidable aspect was fire magic.
Under the burning of the magic flame, the stage three ice demon core started to turn into a lump of energy gas inside the flame, desperately trying to escape by charging out of the flame.
Seeing the ice energy with such liveliness, Ye Feng laughed happily: "Want to escape? Be obedient and stay here!"
At the same time, the wild bull skin inside the defensive equipment mold was slowly taking shape, Ye Feng used the Lightning Formation on the defensive equipment, he wanted to fix the ice energy into the wild bull skin at one go!
Under the effect of the iron steaming method in the furnace, the wild bull skin started to close up while the ice energy was forced to enter the defensive equipment by the magic flame!
As they were about to fuse together, Ye Feng could feel that this defensive equipment's grade would definitely be no less than stage three middle-grade!
But right at this time, his hair stood on ends as he subconsciously twisted his body, a wave of white sword energy landed on the iron furnace while brushing past his scalp.
"Thud!"
The flames of the furnace was extinguished, the wild bull skin and ice energy that had yet to fuse together became still and lifeless immediately!
"Damn it, again!"
After a momentary daze, Ye Feng felt intense anger rising in his heart. Once! Twice! Thrice! These people always had to interrupt him when he was doing important things!
Killing intent rose in Ye Feng's heart, his pupils turned blood red.
Ye Feng turned around and saw a man wearing a mask covering his face, he held a Knight's Heavy Sword and looked at Ye Feng provokingly.
"What a pity, you managed to dodge my fatal attack, but you are not going to be so lucky now!"
Ye Feng did not speak, the killing intent in his eyes was enough to prove his intention!
That person did not pay him any attention, his gaze was attracted to the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword at the side, a trace of greed appeared on his face: "What a good weapon, I didn't waste my time after all, not only am I earning a sum, I can even take such a good heavy sword, I have no choice but to accept it!"
Saying so, the person raised the heavy sword and slashed down at Ye Feng's head from an imposing angle.
Seeing this, Ye Feng quickly dodged the heavy sword in the enemy's hand while landing his fist directly on the enemy's body with great force.
Bam!
Right now, Ye Feng was an Advanced Knight.
The person was not his match at all, he was sent flying out of the forging room with one punch.
Before he landed, he could feel a heated sensation as his chest started to hurt, he spit out a mouthful of blood and landed on the street outside of the Blacksmith Shop!
Ye Feng did not give him a chance to rest, he willed as a fireball appeared out of nowhere, flying towards the assailant rapidly while emitting loud whooshing sounds of the wind!
It was a complete domination!
But Ye Feng did not deal the killing blow, he left the person alive.
Arriving before him, Ye Feng had a cold expression, a fireball floated above his right hand, it could land on him at any time.
Seeing this, the person was filled with terror, he subconsciously crawled backwards.
"Don't move, otherwise I will kill you now. Answer my question, if you can satisfy me, I may spare your life!"
"You... just what level are you... ahh!" That person looked at Ye Feng in terror, he could not help but ask.
But before he finished his question, Ye Feng used fire magic to directly pierce and burn his leg.
Ye Feng said expressionlessly in a calm tone: "My questions, your answer! If you spout any more nonsense, my fireball will land on your head next!"
Saying so, the fireball in Ye Feng's hand grew slightly, it emitted a threatening aura.
"Who sent you here?"
"I can't say it, I took their money, I will be breaking the rules of... ah!"
His arm was burned as well.
"Who sent you here? Next time, I will aim at your skull!"
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Donald spent thirty thousand gold coins to send me to take your life! Please spare... ugh!"
Ye Feng breathed in deeply, the killing intent got even denser in his eyes: "I am very dissatisfied with your answer, so you have lost your chance to live."
Saying so, the fireball descended and devoured the person entirely as he burst into flames.
"Donald, since you want to die so badly, I will grant you that wish!" Next, Ye Feng looked towards the City Lord Manor, making up his mind.
Ye Feng was not someone who would endure this endlessly.
So be it if it were normal times, but both attacks happened when he was forging.
And this time, Ye Feng was making a defensive equipment for Avril, how could he possibly suppress his rage now!
This time, even if the City Lord Manor was incredibly dangerous, Ye Feng had to make a trip tonight!

Chapter 14: Shocked Eric
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under the flames, the assailant was burned to ashes.
Ye Feng did not care about it, after calming himself, his gaze returned to the forging furnace, as well as the two lumps of energy that seemed to have lost all life, as he continued his forging.
This was a defensive equipment for Avril, even if it failed, he had to try and salvage it!
Time passed slowly.
In the forging furnace, flames surged as heat intensified, the ice energy that had gone motionless was forced to approach the wild bull skin again.
"I'm about to succeed!"
Ye Feng was very happy.
Bam!
But right when this precious stage three defensive equipment was about to take shape, there was a loud explosive sound as the forging furnace went silent again.
The final step could not be completed after all! It was as if there was some invisible barrier between the ice energy and the bull skin!
"What is going on?"
"Is it because I could not complete the step at one go earlier due to the assassination which caused the process to fail, so even if I try again, it cannot succeed anymore?"
Ye Feng was unwilling to give up, he heated the furnace again and stretched out his palm, fire energy gathered as he put up a struggle again.
But without any surprise, he failed again!
Two forging failures in a row, this was the first time it had happened since he obtained the system, Ye Feng felt very dejected and even emotionally unbalanced.
"This damned Donald, if he did not send an assassin at me, the defensive equipment for Avril would've been completed already!"
"Stage three middle-grade equipment! Osborne City does not even have a single one..."
Ye Feng cursed out loud in anger.
Next, his mood slowly returned to normal as Ye Feng picked up the stage three weapon stabbed on the floor, the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword.
Ye Feng left the Blacksmith Shop, carrying this heavy sword covered in burning flames as he went to Eric's clan.
Stage three weapons were quite rare in Osborne City.
But for Ye Feng.
As long as the materials were sufficient, he could make as many as he wanted!
This Explosive Flame Heavy Sword was a good gift to his future father-in-law Eric, it could make Avril happy too.
At the same time, Donald sent someone to kill him multiple times, Ye Feng was worried that Donald might lose his mind and attack everyone around him as well.
His own safety was not much of a concern!
Nyzo had also left the Blacksmith Shop.
Only Eric's clan and Avril were left.
"This stage three weapon, Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, can pretty much triple the strength of an Advanced Knight!"
"Even if anything happens, without four Advanced Knights or more, nobody can easily take down Eric who is holding onto the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword!"
Ye Feng thought as he moved quickly ahead, arriving at Eric's estate.
In Eric's estate.
In the large hall, Eric listened to the information brought by his subordinate, his expression was turning ugly and also slightly incredulous.
"Is this real?"
"That old City Lord is gathering the strength of Apal's clan, with this cooperation, I wonder what they're trying to do?"
Eric sensed some danger.
Two of the three Advanced Knights in Osborne City were gathering together for some reason, how could Eric not be worried now.
"Even during the demon beast forest's beast tide, I did not see them creating such a commotion, what are they trying to do?"
Eric walked around the room anxiously, he felt uneasy, he could faintly sense some danger.
If two great Advanced Knights wanted to join up to deal with him, it was likely that he could not beat them!
But right at this time.
Ye Feng walked into the hall.
Eric's anxious expression also soothed a little after seeing Ye Feng's arrival.
This was a son-in-law that he was rather satisfied with!
He had forging talent!
His cultivation was also impressive.
As long as he went to the larger cities to train, he could become an Advanced Knight like himself after some time.
"Why are you here, lad?"
Eric forcefully concealed the worry in his eyes as he went back to his usual demeanor, he smiled and questioned Ye Feng jokingly.
Ye Feng put down the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in his hand and stabbed it on the ground, sparks flew everywhere and he said mysteriously: "I'm here with a gift for you!"
Once he saw the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, Eric became stunned, his breathing soon became rough as he flew towards Ye Feng and grabbed the sword.
"This Knight's Heavy Sword..."
"Gasp!"
"Where did you get it? It has such a high grade, it is at least pseudo stage three or even at the level of stage three."
"The last time a stage three weapon appeared in Osborne City Lord was two years ago during an auction, that mongrel from the City Lord Manor spent a lot of money to get it!"
Holding the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, Eric seemed to like it a lot, he did not even show any signs of returning it to Ye Feng.
But what he did not know was.
This Explosive Flame Heavy Sword was a gift from Ye Feng to begin with, it was not a pseudo stage three weapon, it was a genuine stage three weapon, it had high quality in fact.
In Osborne City, there were many Elementary and Intermediate Knights, but there were only three Advanced Knights including Eric.
Weapons were the same in Osborne City.
Stage one weapons were common, they were not precious! Stage two weapons were valuable, the top tier stage two weapons were treasures.
And in Osborne City, stage three weapons were even rarer than Advanced Knights, not many had ever appeared even in history.
Thus, even with the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword's amazing appearance, Eric did not dare to imagine that this Knight's Heavy Sword was a stage three weapon.
"Pseudo stage three weapon?"
Ye Feng was a little amused but he did not dare to expose him, he smiled at Eric and signaled to him to use the sword.
Eric loved this sword immensely, he naturally followed the signal and mustered his strength before waving this Explosive Flame Heavy Sword around with great force!
Bam!
As the heavy sword swung, flames surged.
There was a black charred mark on the ground, left by this heavy sword, this power far exceeded the output of an average Advanced Knight.
Eric had a shocked expression, he looked at the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in disbelief.
"This is a stage three weapon?"
"Oh heaven!"
"Oh Great Deity of Forging, it is actually a stage three weapon! To think that in Osborne City, I can actually hold a stage three weapon in my hands..."
Right now, Eric who was holding the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in his hand could fight three of his former self.
"I just forged it earlier, it is yours now!"
Ye Feng smiled and said.
Eric was originally shocked to begin with, now that he regained some clarity, he listened to Ye Feng's words and became overwhelmed with joy.
"This stage three weapon is really a gift for me?"
After that, Eric reacted once again and stared with wide eyes as he shouted in a voice that was much sharper than normal.
"Wait!"
"What did you say?"
Chapter 15: Assault of the Three Forces
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the afternoon.
In Osborne City, in a secluded area.
Osla and Apal, the two great Advanced Knights, gathered together once again, discussing the matter of dealing with Eric.
At the same time, they casted their greedy gazes towards the newly emerged stage two Blacksmith in Osborne City, Ye Feng.
"A stage two Blacksmith!"
"Not long ago, the combined force of our men clashed with Eric's forces, but we did not manage to gain an advantage over him, it is all because of that lad."
"Twenty stage two weapons, it is simply unthinkable that he created them all by himself, how did he accomplish that?"
Apal and Osla had cold expressions.
But beyond the cold expression, there was even more greed.
"I have an idea, this lad is relying on Eric, one of the three Advanced Knights, to back him up..."
"After we kill Eric and hold Avril hostage, wouldn't that Ye Feng be at our beck and call?"
Saying so, Osla started to laugh smugly.
Stage two weapons were not low level weapons anymore, if they could be mass produced, Ye Feng could be forced to work day and night, if they sold those weapons to mercenaries or used them to equip their two forces, it would be a huge amount of wealth.
Apal's gaze also flickered for a moment.
The two reached a consensus.
Outside the house, there was the Advanced Knight that the City Lord of Osborne City, Donjedo, hired to support them!
With three Advanced Knights, they could definitely kill Eric!
"Let's move!"
The two left the house.
Today, the four strongest forces of Osborne City gathered their strength and collided intensely.
"Everyone, charge with me!"
"As long as we can kill Eric and take down his clan, you can choose and take any of the treasures that they have!"
"Come with me, charge!"
Osla brought his subordinates along as they broke the door of Eric's clan and advanced towards their core area.
This assault was coordinated with Apal and the Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor, he, Osla, was here to lead the attack and try to lure Eric out!
After Eric appears, Apal who will be hiding behind, as well as the Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor, would appear and work together to kill him.
Without his support, without an Advanced Knight, Eric's clan would be meat on the chopping block!
But Eric's clan was prepared for this clash long ago.
One by one, Intermediate Knights came out and fought, the scene was extremely chaotic!
"Why has Eric not appeared yet?"
Outside of Eric's clan's territory, behind Osla's forces, Apal and the others from the City Lord Manor who were hiding and waiting to attack, felt a little anxious.
Three Advanced Knights against one Advanced Knight, each of them knew many details regarding each other, this was simply too easy of a battle.
If Eric did not appear, everything in his clan would be looted and taken by Osla's men!
By then, what gains would they have?!
In this clash of the four forces, there were four Advanced Knights involved, as well as tens of Intermediate Knights.
This commotion was not small at all.
Ye Feng, on the way back to the Blacksmith Shop, suddenly turned around and hid at the peripheral area of this battle. There, he stared deeply at the two figures who were hiding in the shadows.
They were Apal and the Advanced Knight of the City Lord Manor.
"Together with Osla, they have a total of three Advanced Knights trying to kill Eric? The City Lord is bent on getting rid of Eric."
But Ye Feng was not too worried.
Even though there were three Advanced Knights here, Eric and himself were sufficient to deal with the situation.
"Eric you old fool, I've found you!"
"Hurry up and get out!"
In Eric's clan, Osla's excited voice could suddenly be heard, next, one could sense the fluctuations as he activated the Advanced Knight strength that he had to the limit.
Bam!
A figure flew out with a sound.
Next, as if it was a huge flaming meteor, the figure moved rapidly and descended from midair, landing on Osla's body fiercely.
Osla was like a kite with its strings cut, he flew outside of Eric's clan's territory, shouting pitifully under the attack of this flaming meteor.
The battle that only lasted for an instant ended in his defeat!
Furthermore, Osla also suffered considerable injuries!
As the attacking Advanced Knight, the fact that he ended up like this in an instant made Osla's subordinates feel fearful as they quickly ran out of Eric's clan area like they were escaping frantically.
"You want to fight against me?"
Eric laughed in disdain as he carried the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword and looked down at Osla who was lying down on the ground, half his arm was charred because of the Flaming Meteor attack.
"Stage three weapon?!"
"Where did you get that, your clan cannot possibly possess it, even in the entire Osborne City, there are no stage three weapons..."
Osla stared fiercely at the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in Eric's hands.
This was a stage three middle-grade weapon, once it appeared, it changed the entire battle situation! Ordinary Advanced Knights were no longer a match for Eric.
They needed at least two Advanced Knights to contest against Eric! If they wanted to suppress him, they might need a total of four Advanced Knights to barely succeed.
Far away.
Apal and the Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor who were hiding also noticed this stage three middle-grade weapon, Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, their scalp turned numb.
"Damn it!"
"Why does Eric have a stage three weapon!"
Apal was almost about to jump from shock.
If not for the City Lord's people here, if he was not afraid of offending the City Lord, he might have turned around and ran already.
With the stage three weapon, with the Osla currently injured, even if he became two people, he was not Eric's match!
"What are you afraid of?"
"Let's attack together, he used the secret skill in the heavy sword which contains the power of fire, it has been used up for the time being."
"We need to kill him during this period of time!"
"Quick! Attack!"
The Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor stared at Apal with a cold expression, he pressured Apal into attacking with him.
Apal stared at the dim Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, he showed an expression of ruthlessness and greed, he said in a fierce tone.
"Everyone. charge!"
"Leave Eric to us!"
Saying so, Apal and the Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor charged into the battlefield and went straight for Eric.
Osla was screaming smugly.
"Eric! To have the combined attack of three Advanced Knights, you must be the first person in Osborne City's history."
The power of fire contained in the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword had been used up earlier when attacking Osla and instantly defeating him.
Right now, against three Advanced Knights, cold sweat emerged on Eric's forehead as he held the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword in his hand, feeling a little regretful and anxious in his heart.
"Had I known that the City Lord Manor has an Advanced Knight, I would not have used up the power of fire within this heavy sword."
"Now, the situation has gotten a little problematic!
Eric had gotten into a predicament.

Chapter 16: The Magician That Needs No Chanting
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The battle continued.
One by one, Intermediate Knights from Eric's clan fell.
As Apal and the City Lord Manor's people joined in, Eric's clan got into an increasingly dangerous situation.
Eric watched this happen as he felt extremely anxious internally.
He shouted.
"Come at me if you are strong!"
"Are you cowards, why are you attacking the weaker juniors using an advantage in numbers?"
With three of Osborne City's forces gathered here to attack Eric's clan, the current situation was that on average, three Intermediate Knights were attacking one Intermediate Knight from Eric's clan.
If this continued.
Eric's clan's foundation was doomed!
"As long as we win!"
Apal looked at Eric as he said sinisterly.
Bam!
The battle erupted.
Osla, Apal, and the silver armored Advanced Knight attacked at the same time from three directions, charging towards Eric.
Eric was screaming loudly in anger, he continued to wave his Explosive Flame Heavy Sword around, forcing the three knights back, preventing them from gaining an edge over him.
But that was all he could do.
At the other side of the battlefield, Eric's juniors and his loyal guards were still bleeding and dying as time passed.
"Oh God!"
"Please save our clan!"
Eric cried out loud in anger and grief.
Bam!
But right at this time.
There was searing fire that gathered into a ball, it was full of explosive flame marks, whistling from the distant shadows, blasting towards the three Advanced Knights present.
"Who?"
"Which coward dares to interfere in this matter!"
"Wait!"
"This is magic formed from fire elements, is it fireball? This person who attacked must be a Two Star Magician at least!"
Osla and Apal, as well as the silver armored Advanced Knight from the City Lord Manor, were all pale with shock.
In Osborne City, there were many Intermediate Knights and even several Advanced Knights.
But in terms of Magicians.
Throughout Osborne City, there were no such existences, even the common One Star Magician that was comparable to Elementary Knights!
Right when the three Advanced Knights were pale and shocked, Eric waved his Explosive Flame Heavy Sword around, attacking Osla fiercely and relentlessly.
As long as one Advanced Knight died, the remaining two Advanced Knights would be much easier to deal with! His clansmen and subordinates would also have a chance of survival.
"Die!"
Eric shouted.
Osla reacted very quickly, he jumped up with a beautiful arc, dodging this slashing attack of the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword.
"Oh heavy swords!"
"They are just too bulky in combat!"
Osla laughed and mocked Eric loudly.
But right at this moment.
Right at this time, the fireball that was covered in explosive markings made a turn in midair, shooting towards Osla instead.
Osla sensed this as well, he looked at this fireball disdainfully, raising his stage two peak Knight's Sword to slash at it.
"The fireball of a mere Two Star Magician."
"How can it possibly attempt to kill an Advanced Knight who is on the level of a Three Star Magician?"
"This is too much of a joke!"
Osla laughed mockingly, he did not even think much of this fireball.
Not just him.
The other two Advanced Knights thought the same.
They were only shocked that a precious Two Star Magician would appear in Osborne City, they were not shocked by his battle strength.
Bam!
The fireball exploded.
The stage two peak Knight's Sword instantly melted.
The exploded flames soon spread towards Osla's body, he erupted with an unprecedented scream and cry.
"Save me!"
"So hot! So painful! I am dying of pain!"
In the blink of an eye.
Osla was reduced to a pile of ashes.
"Osla died?"
"How can this be, he actually died from an ordinary magic of a Two Star Magician, a mere fireball?!"
"No, this is not fireball, this is the three star magic, explosive fireball!"
The two remaining Advanced Knights took in a sharp breath.
An Advanced Knight had actually turned into ashes instantly, such strength could only be possible if the enemy was a Three Star Magician.
Right at this time.
A long sigh could be heard.
From the spot where the fireball shot out, a young figure slowly walked out.
"Why do you guys always like to seek death?"
Ye Feng sighed.
Fire elements gathered!
Waving his hand, one after another, fireballs with explosive markings around them appeared before everyone's eyes.
The entire scene was silent.
Apal looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, all of the Intermediate and Elementary Knights did the same.
Finally, after a while, an Intermediate Knight stammered and asked.
"Don't magic of three stars and above require chanting of the incantation?"
"Why does he not need to chant?"
Apal's expression was rather grim.
He did not expect that this Three Star Magician who attacked and instantly killed Osla would be Ye Feng!
In his eyes, Ye Feng was a tiny ant who would be completely defenseless without Eric!
"Scoundrel!"
"Feel the rage of a knight!"
Apal shouted in anger.
Bam!
He held the Knight's Sword in his hand as he moved rapidly, dodging the numerous explosive fireballs that were shooting out, charging straight for Ye Feng.
In his mind, Ye Feng's threat level was far higher than Eric's.
He was so young but was actually so talented!
In the future, when he matures fully, what will happen? Thus, they had no choice but to kill him today at all cost.
At the same time, Apal shocked a mocking expression on his face.
"How can a Magician without any Knight protecting them be called a Magician? As long as I can get close, even an Intermediate Knight can kill a Three Star Magician in an instant!"
Apal laughed coldly to himself.
At this time, he had already arrived by Ye Feng's side, he held the Knight's Longsword and stabbed towards Ye Feng's throat like a venomous snake.
And right at this time, the silent Ye Feng spoke again after a long while.
"My apologies."
"I am also an Advanced Knight!"
Saying so, Ye Feng threw out a punch, directly aiming for Apal.
Bam!
Caught unguarded and without any precaution, Apal was hit on the chest by this punch, he flew back uncontrollably.
"Advanced Knight?"
The silver armored Advanced Knight also wanted to charge and mimic Apal in dodging the explosive fireballs, but now, he did not dare to move.
Three Star Magician, Advanced Knight!
He had seen many of them in his city.
But someone who was simultaneously a Three Star Magician and an Advanced Knight, while also being so young, was incredibly rare in the upper city.
"This kid is likely a genius in both magic and knight training!"
"This is just a mission I accepted."
"There is no need to offend such a genius just because of Osborne City Lord and some gold coins..."
The silver armored knight smiled bitterly and did not speak further, he looked at Ye Feng before turning around and leaving.
Apal also escaped
"You all deserve to die!"
Eric was like a raging lion, he held the Explosive Flame Heavy Sword and casted his gaze at the subordinates of the three forces.
This battle that targeted Eric ended up with the loss of the three forces due to Ye Feng's intervention.
At the same time, for some reason, rumors that Ye Feng was a genius at forging weapons also started to spread beyond Osborne City.

Chapter 17: Osborne City's New Lord
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the second day, the upper city of Osborne City, Aden City's City Lord Manor, sent someone here who knocked on the door of the Blacksmith Shop.
Inside the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng who was forging weapons looked at this guest who had been knocking for a long time with displeasure.
Ye Feng said with a cold expression.
"You have to obey the rules if you want me to forge weapons. Right now, I have not opened my shop for the day yet..."
Halfway through, Ye Feng could not speak anymore.
A silver diamond the size of a dove's egg and a box of golden ores that seemed like flowing water that was gathered together without scattering, appeared in front of his eyes.
[Magic Silver Diamond]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: The dove's egg sized silver diamond can be fused into the forged weapon to greatly increase the weapon's resistance towards magic attacks.
[Flowing Water Golden Sand]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: This material flows like water and turns solid immediately if it comes into contact with fire, becoming extremely firm and indestructible, after being forged into a weapon, it will greatly raise durability and become hard to destroy.
"I was sent by Aden City Lord!"
"My name is Bailey!"
"You may address me as Lord Bai!"
The visitor looked arrogant, as if it was a great honor for Ye Feng to be able to speak with him, his head was raised high, almost as if he was looking down at Ye Feng.
If not for these two precious ores, Ye Feng would have thrown him out already.
"What are you doing here, what do you want?" Ye Feng asked.
From start to end, he did not even look at Bailey, his gaze was fixed on the flowing water golden sand and magic silver diamond.
Stage three superior-grade materials!
Anti-magic weapon!
He had not refined it before.
"We would like you to use these two materials and make anti-magic weapons! If you succeed, you will gain the friendship of Aden City Lord, you will also gain an unimaginable reward."
Bailey said mysteriously.
Regarding this, Ye Feng did not pay much attention to him, he carried the silver diamond and golden sand and brought Bailey into the forging furnace of the Blacksmith Shop.
Before the forging furnace, blazing flames were burning intensely.
Ye Feng started to forge with much proficiency.
Such anti-magic weapons were very easy to make, he did not even need any blueprint or formation markings, he only had to make the flowing water golden sand take shape and perfectly fuse with the magic silver diamond.
Ye Feng could tell that Bailey was testing him.
But he did not mind it.
He was only concerned about forging the weapon!
"Even if he has some ability, the most important and hardest thing about forging an anti-magic weapon is to fuse the silver diamond and weapon together, can he accomplish that?"
Bailey commented internally.
Right now, in the forging furnace, the flowing water golden sand had already formed into the shape of a weapon, Ye Feng carefully placed the silver diamond into the forging furnace as well.
"You want to gain the favor of Aden City Lord, dream on!"
At the top of the Blacksmith Shop, a figure jumped down like an eagle hunting its prey, slashing the longsword towards Ye Feng with great force.
Ye Feng frowned.
Looking at the weapon that was still in the forging furnace, he freed one hand to block the black clothed assailant's attack.
But who could've thought that the target was not Ye Feng at all, it was his forging furnace, the attacker turned around and crashed into the forging furnace.
The attacker died!
Black smoke also started to rise up from the forging furnace.
The silver diamond was destroyed!
"This..."
Bailey was stunned, he pointed his shaking fingers at Ye Feng angrily, his eyes were full of intense rage and anger, he screamed at the top of his lungs.
"As a Blacksmith, why did you not protect the forging furnace!"
"Damn it, that is a silver diamond!"
"You did not even show any concern towards the weapon you were forging like it was your life! What kind of Blacksmith are you, you are not fit to join Aden City's City Lord Manor."
Bailey left in rage.
Towards this, Ye Feng frowned, looking at the assassin on the ground and Bailey who left, he also turned to look at the two materials that were ruined in the forging furnace.
He only expressed his disappointment and pity towards the failed attempt to forge the weapon.
Like this, Osborne City became silent for a few days before shocking news spread again towards the surroundings, stunning all of the knights in Osborne City.
Donald, the son of Osborne City Lord, had been killed!
Furthermore.
Osborne City Lord was also changed to another person! The new City Lord was called Militan, he had already taken over the position of Osborne City Lord.
"Donald died?"
"The City Lord was replaced?"
Within the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng heard this news and came slightly stunned, but he soon recovered from the initial shock.
This had a huge impact on him.
In the future, he could finally have some peace and quiet, nobody would come and find trouble with him anymore.
"I still need to continue with life and forge more weapons!"
Ye Feng got up and wanted to return to the forging furnace and try to see if the silver diamond and golden sand could still be used for a second time.
At this time, the door of the Blacksmith Shop was knocked.
Outside, an elegant looking horse carriage was parked, a man who had a kind expression and smile but also had a polite and revering attitude walked out.
There were two Intermediate Knights walking beside him as guards on his left and right, chasing away onlookers.
It was evident that he had significant status.
"I am Militan!"
The man smiled and said.
He was a great City Lord, the ruler of Osborne City, he had the biggest force on the surface, but right now, he was acting very politely towards Ye Feng.
"Today is your first day as the City Lord right! You came here specially to meet a blacksmith like me?"
Ye Feng was quite surprised.
A few days ago, there was someone from Aden City, today, the new City Lord came here to meet him on the first day!
Since when did he have such a great reputation!
"Please take a look at the orders!"
"A hundred stage two weapons! Our City Lord Manor will provide the materials, we will also pay you with thirty percent more of the market rate, what do you think?"
Militan said respectfully.
This was a huge order!
They wanted a hundred stage two weapons at once, they even provided the materials and the price was thirty percent more than the market rate of hiring a Blacksmith.
Even though Ye Feng only cared about forging, he was still shocked by this huge order.
"I've already gone to find Eric!"
"That Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, a stage three middle-grade weapon, is actually a prized work of yours!"
"From today onwards, as long as I remain as the City Lord of Osborne City, all of those remaining forces of the former City Lord, Apal's clan, and Osla's clan will not be able to create trouble, furthermore, all of Osla's businesses in Osborne City can be given to Eric..."
He showed his attitude.
Along with some promises for Eric.
This was a two pronged approach!
Ye Feng could gain a substantial benefit from forging so many weapons as well, it could raise his proficiency too, there was no reason to reject it.
"Alright!"
"Come collect the goods in a few days."
"In terms of stage two weapons, my failure rate is about zero now! I can make them all in a few days."
Ye Feng said plainly, he did not change his tone or mannerism to suck up to him just because this was the Osborne City Lord.
Hearing that, Militan's eyes turned wide, his face was covered in shock.
"Oh Great Deity of Forging, you have already reached a level where your stage two weapon forging has a near zero chance of failure! Oh my goodness!"
"Are you a Master Blacksmith already?"

Chapter 18: Improvement In Forging Skill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The new Osborne City Lord Militan requested for a hundred stage two weapons, in just two days, Ye Feng completed the task of forging them all.
One stage two weapon, normally speaking, would provide Ye Feng with 100 fire elemental points, but soon after, he seemed to reach a bottleneck!
When forging stage two weapons, he no longer gained much elemental points.
"It must be because I am now an Advanced Knight and a Three Star Magician."
In the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng was still busy working at the forging furnace.
Yesterday, when Militan's subordinates came to collect the goods, they paid the service fee and put another huge order again.
This was an even larger order, they wanted stage three weapons!
"Twenty portions of materials to make stage three weapons, as well as their necessary formation charts, the price is still the same at thirty percent higher than the average market rate."
"This new City Lord does not have a simple background at all, this quantity of weapons is too much for the average person.
Before the forging furnace, Ye Feng sighed and did not think too much of it, he immediately got to forging them.
This was not the first time Ye Feng was forging stage three weapons.
In fact, he was quite familiar with them.
Bam!
Within the forging furnace, flames surged and blazed, the entire Blacksmith Shop was extremely hot from the heat emitted, it was almost comparable to Ye Feng's fire magic already.
Ye Feng gazed towards the box at the corner, information of the stage three material that Militan provided him was shown before his eyes.
[Star Cloud Rock]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: Clear and transparent like a crystal with star cloud patterns inside, after forging into a weapon, will greatly increase the strength of an Advanced Knight, sharpness also increases by 30%.
In addition, Ye Feng had the [Star Meteorite Sword] blueprint and the [Sharp Metal Formation] formation chart brought by Militan's subordinates.
As the fire was lit in the forging furnace, smoke started rising.
Star cloud rocks were placed inside one by one, they soon turned bright red as Ye Feng tried to use fire magic on the forging furnace to raise the temperature of the star cloud rocks even more.
Suddenly, shining lights of dazzling colors appeared in the forging furnace.
Twenty star cloud rocks, at this instant, reached their limits and started to melt, they contained terrifying power inside them!
Ye Feng waved his hammer around and continued to hit the star cloud rocks, formation markings were also completely carved at this time.
Inside the forging furnace, there were twenty star cloud rocks being forged at once, the amount of mental energy it took was something that the average stage three Blacksmith could not do.
Only Ye Feng, with his proficiency level, could do it to this extent!
Bam!
With the final hit of the hammer.
The first Star Meteorite Sword was completed, the Sharp Metal Formation was also carved onto it.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage three superior-grade [Star Meteorite Sword, you have obtained 1000 fire elemental points, and power of blazing flames 1!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The hammer continued to hit.
As Star Meteorite Swords were made one by one, the Sharp Metal Formation carved on them also became more and more vivid, exposing an extremely sharp aura.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the stage three superior-grade [Star Meteorite Sword, you have obtained 900 fire elemental points, and power of blazing flames 1!"
"900 fire elemental points, and power of blazing flames 1!"
"800 fire elemental points, and power of blazing flames 1!"
"Fire elemental..."
System notifications resounded continuously.
Ye Feng could feel a continuous surge of power that entered his body, his strength was greater now, he was originally an inferior-class Advanced Knight, now, he was finally at superior-class level.
"By making the same weapon over and over again, the fire elemental points I gain will fall over time! But what is this power of blazing flames?"
Ye Feng felt a little curious, he held one of the Star Meteorite Swords that he forged and used the strength of an Advanced Knight to slash fiercely.
Bam!
The tiles of the Blacksmith Shop easily broke into pieces like tofu.
After adding in the Sharp Metal Formation, this Star Meteorite Sword's sharpness was close to being unparalleled among similarly graded weapons.
Ordinary stage three inferior-grade weapons would be cut into two after a few collisions with the Star Meteorite Sword.
After putting down the Star Meteorite Sword, Ye Feng tried to use his fist to attack the tile on the floor, he actually felt a sensation like he was holding the Star Meteorite Sword.
"This power of blazing flames is directly added to my body! If I have enough of this power of blazing flames, my fists and legs would become the sharpness sword I have."
Ye Feng's face was covered in surprise.
There were so many Blacksmiths in Marfa Continent, but he had never heard of any Blacksmith who could turn their own body into a weapon with special traits, or for example, gaining sharpness.
He was likely unique in this Marfa Continent!
The forging session ended.
Ye Feng started to clean up the residue in the forging furnace, but when he gazed at a corner, those Star Meteorite Swords lying there made him stunned.
"Why are there more than thirty of them?"
"Didn't Militan give me twenty star cloud rocks? Twenty star cloud rocks should be able to forge only twenty Star Meteorite Swords."
Twenty star cloud rocks were placed in the forging furnace and forged at the same time, there was no failure at all, in fact, there were more than ten extra swords.
This situation should only be possible for an Advanced Blacksmith who had incredibly deep attainment and high proficiency.
But Ye Feng had unknowingly reached this stage, he did not even know what happened here, it was simply unbelievable.
If news of this was spread, Ye Feng's reputation as a genius Blacksmith would immediately be known far and wide.
He was so young!
But he could already make stage three weapons.
And his forging techniques had risen to such a level!
One had to know, even in some large cities, stage three Blacksmiths who had spent their entire lives forging might not even have half of Ye Feng's hundred percent success rate.
Late at night, outside the Blacksmith Shop, a horse carriage from the City Lord Manor arrived.
This time, Militan's subordinates did not come, the Osborne City Lord had arrived personally.
Evidently, Militan was quite concerned with the forging of this batch of stage three weapons, the sky had just turned dark when he rushed over immediately.
"My precious Blacksmith friend, I am definitely not suspecting your abilities, I just want to see how many Star Meteorite Swords you have forged!"
"Don't worry, for stage three weapons, as long as you have a 90% success rate and forge eighteen of them, I will give you the gold coins for twenty swords!"
Militan laughed as he entered the Blacksmith Shop.
Once he finished his words, his mouth could not be shut anymore, he started at the corner in shock, there were many Star Meteorite Swords that had already been forged!
Long after.
Militan finally reacted as he looked like he had found a treasure, his breathing intensified as he could not help but ask.
"Oh my goodness!"
"Is this reality?"
"Oh Great Deity of Forging, how did he possibly create thirty Star Meteorite Swords from twenty star cloud rocks! My friend, are you the illegitimate son of the Great Deity of Forging?"

Chapter 19: Magic Defensive Equipment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Militan's mind.
As long as Ye Feng could make eighteen Star Meteorite Swords from twenty star cloud rocks, even if they were not perfect creations, he would still be an outstanding Blacksmith.
But Ye Feng's performance was simply too out of his expectations.
Being able to make thirty Star Meteorite Swords out of twenty star cloud rocks, other than being the illegitimate son of the Great Deity of Forging, he could not think of any other explanation!
This was no longer within the realm of an outstanding Blacksmith.
He was a genius!
Ye Feng was a genius among Blacksmiths!
"Ye Feng, my friend, from today onwards, you are my eternal friend! In this Osborne City, as long as I am still the City Lord, your words will be equivalent to my commands!"
"Regarding those who attacked you in the past, Apal, Osla, and the former City Lord's people, I will get my men to get rid of them all now!"
Within the Blacksmith Shop, Militan's attitude towards Ye Feng became even more respectful than before, he seemed to have been completely awed by such incredible forging abilities.
It could be said, Ye Feng from Osborne City was the most amazing Blacksmith that he had ever seen! Even those Master Blacksmiths from the upper city that praised themselves to high heaven could not compare to him at all.
Regarding Militan's praise, Ye Feng enjoyed it, after all, nobody would be unhappy about others' praise towards themselves!
Furthermore, his skill was indeed worthy of getting Militan's praise.
The transaction of thirty Star Meteorite Swords and gold coins was completed very quickly! After checking the bag of gold coins, Ye Feng tossed it to one corner of the Blacksmith Shop.
He had no interest towards gold coins, he only liked Avril, as well as forging, he wanted to improve in forging and get stronger!
"After Nyzo returns, he's going to be shocked when he sees so many gold coins! When he was at the Blacksmith Shop, he had never earned so many gold coins."
How many gold coins were there?
Thirty or fifty thousand, Ye Feng could not remember clearly.
It could be said that right now, in Osborne City, other than the City Lord Manor, even if the original three forces combined into one, they would not have as many gold coins as Ye Feng!
Blacksmithing was an incredibly lucrative job in Marfa Continent.
Especially someone like Ye Feng who could produce many weapons in a short time, his weapons were all considered high tier weapons for Osborne City.
If Ye Feng was willing, if he forged weapons without resting for a month, he could buy over the entire Osborne City!
Militan left with the thirty Star Meteorite Swords.
It gradually got darker at night.
Before the forging furnace, flames were raging intensely, Ye Feng had just completed one forging session, he obtained a stage three weapon and some fire elemental points.
Right when Ye Feng was about to rest.
At this time, outside the Blacksmith Shop, Militan returned again, many subordinates were behind him, carrying huge boxes and bringing them over.
Once the box landed on the ground, there was a rising wave of fire as the ground was completely charred black, it was evident that the thing inside had a powerful fire element.
There were also several boxes that emitted a cold chilly aura from far away, they evidently had powerful ice attribute energy.
"Militan, what are in these boxes?"
Ye Feng's eyes shone brightly like he had seen treasures.
Each weapon that he made would allow him to gain fire element as well as the element related to the weapon through the World Creator System.
And what kind of weapon had the densest elemental energy compared to other weapons?
Undeniably, they were magic equipment!
Earlier, Bailey from Aden City brought the magic silver diamond and flowing water golden sand, Ye Feng sighed in pity when the anti-magic weapon was not successfully created.
If the anti-magic weapon was successfully created, he would gain a new special trait, just like the Star Meteorite Sword that he made earlier which gave him the power of blazing flames!
Militan was not acting like the Osborne City Lord at all, he was breathing heavily and making exaggerated actions, the excitement in his heart was no less than Ye Feng's.
"A new order! A super super huge order!"
"Magic defensive equipment!"
"Thirty stage two superior-grade Icy Armor, as well as twenty stage three superior-grade Flaming Armor! Both of our transactions earlier cannot even meet ten percent of this current order."
"Ye Feng, my good friend, will you accept this huge order?"
Militan looked at Ye Feng with deep expectations, waiting for an answer.
Of course, after taking two forging orders consecutively, if Ye Feng was tired, he would not force him, he did not dare to force this forge genius Ye Feng either.
"Alright!"
"I'll accept it!"
Ye Feng nodded.
Immediately, Militan fell into great joy.
"Ye Feng, after you complete the forging, we will follow our old rules, I will also take out one stage three Flaming Armor and send it to your fiancée Avril!"
After giving the order for fifty magic defensive equipment, Militan left the Blacksmith Shop, only Ye Feng was left rubbing his palms, he started to move rapidly.
All of the boxes were opened.
Burning heat and chilling cold started to spread in the Blacksmith Shop
[Frost Cloud Iron]
Grade: Stage Two Superior-grade
Special Trait: Main material for forging ice magic defensive equipment.
[Red Flame Ore]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: Main material for forging fire magic defensive equipment.
[Heart of the Burning Red Lion-tiger]
Grade: Stage Three Magic Material
Special Trait: High grade supplementary material for forging stage three magic equipment.
Other than the stuff in the boxes, there was also the forging formation chart of the stage three Red Flame Armor that Militan gave.
At this moment, Ye Feng's breathing became incredibly heavy.
If all these materials before him were used in forging successfully, how much fire elemental and ice elemental points would he get?
Ye Feng did not dare to imagine it.
If he really forged them all, it would be possible for him to go beyond an Advanced Knight and become a Bronze Knight, or even a Four Star Magician.
The creation of magic defensive equipment was not as simple as forging normal weapons!
Furthermore.
When he made a defensive equipment for Avril earlier, and when he made the anti-magic weapon, they both failed.
This made Ye Feng feel a little nervous internally.
He had never succeeded in forging defensive equipment, moreover, this time, the defensive equipment he was making was even harder than normal weapons!
It was a magic defensive equipment!
It was simply too hard.
One could say that even for the stage three Blacksmiths in a huge city, after making stage three weapons for over ten years, they would not even have attempted to forge defensive equipment or magic defensive equipment before.
"Defensive equipment expend much more mental energy than ordinary weapons when forging them! This is my first attempt at making these defensive equipment, I should be more careful."
Saying so, Ye Feng turned on the forging furnace as flames started to rise, he carefully forged the Icy Armor that had lower value in comparison.
"The forging of defensive equipment requires countless hammer hits to take form slowly, after that, I can carve formations and make the magic energy contained within flow towards the various parts of the armor..."
Ye Feng started to vigilant forge the equipment.

Chapter 20: Forging Begins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Icy Armor was only stage two superior-grade, because it was lower in level, the difficulty of forging was also smaller compared to the other armor.
One by one, pieces of frost cloud iron was tossed in.
The ores that were originally thick and emitting frost energy immediately had a reaction when they were placed into the forging furnace with high temperature. White steam started to rise and nearly put out the fire of the entire forging furnace.
Because of this, Ye Feng started to fluster a little.
But thankfully, within the forging furnace, under the gathering of Ye Feng's fire magic, the frost energy inside the frost cloud iron was extracted successfully like it was liquid.
Waving the hammer in his hand, the red frost cloud iron was hammered continuously, before long, one arm of the entire armor took form.
Just one arm of the defensive equipment without the formation carved on it took Ye Feng more than an hour to complete.
For regular weapons, even if he was forging stage three weapons, by this time, he would have already made three of them!
"Defensive equipment consumes too much mental energy."
Ye Feng let out a breath as he continued to forge.
The frost cloud iron had reached a temperature where it could be molded within the forging furnace, but there was still a time limit.
Ye Feng had to completely forge this piece of armor during that period of time!
Hammering continued!
Bam bam bam!
The dull sound rang continuously in the Blacksmith Shop.
The night gradually faded away.
By dawn, the sun started to rise.
Two to three hours passed again, the armor was almost fully forged, only the iron boots were left.
As long as the iron boots were completed, Ye Feng would be able to carve the formation onto the entire armor at one go, he could then fuse in the special trait of the frost cloud iron.
By then, this stage two Icy Armor would pretty much be completed!
The closer he reached the crucial timing, the more vigilant Ye Feng became!
At this moment, Ye Feng was in deep concentration, even as sweat dripped down his chin, he did not bother with it.
There was little time left!
If the final portion of the frost cloud iron was not turned into iron boots in time, this entire frost cloud iron would be wasted.
It would mean that the forging had failed!
Eventually, as the final strike was made by the hammer, a beautiful and exquisite Knight's Armor appeared before Ye Feng's eyes.
By now, five hours had passed.
The sun had already started to rise.
Under the light of the sun, this beautiful Knight's Armor shone with brilliant light, currently, it did not have much defensive effects yet!
Next, the carving of the formation was the most important segment.
[Firm Formation, [Icy Formation, and [Ice Blade Formation].
In just two hours, Ye Feng had to quickly carve these formations onto the armor.
Furthermore, he had to succeed in all three of them, if either one failed, this stage two Icy Armor's creation would end up in failure!
Even though the level of this equipment was not high, the number of steps needed was shockingly high.
In the upper city of Osborne City, Aden City, there were many stage four Master Blacksmiths that did not want to deal with the forging of stage two or three defensive equipment!
Simply because the gains did not match the effort they had to put in.
Forging defensive equipment was like a huge battle, the chances of failure was high, one would also feel extremely fatigued both physically and mentally.
In the case of some Master Blacksmiths, if the price was not high or if they were not making defensive equipment for their friends or loved ones, almost none of them would bother with such a strenuous and unrewarding task.
The effort needed to make such an armor was equivalent to forging five to six weapons of similar quality or even higher!
In any case, from what Ye Feng knew, Nyzo did not like to forge defensive equipment, he had never been seen forging it either.
"The three formations have finally been carved successfully!"
"Hahaha!"
"Only the final step is left, as long as I fuse the special trait of the frost cloud iron back into the armor again, and then use the frost energy to activate the three formations, this stage two Icy Armor will be completed..."
Ye Feng let out a deep breath, he was mentally exhausted.
The World Creator System allowed him to gain the respective elemental points to raise his strength after successfully forging weapons or defensive equipment. If not for this, with Ye Feng's nature, no matter how much money he was given, he would not bother making these Icy Armors and Flaming Armors for Militan!
"Hopefully, the reward from making this magic armor can match my efforts!"
Ye Feng's mind tensed up again.
The hammering continued, attempting to strike the special trait of the frost cloud iron which could not coexist with the fire back into the armor, but there was still a barrier between the two.
This made Ye Feng break out in cold sweat.
Eventually, Ye Feng decided to take a risk, he rubbed his palms as an explosive fireball appeared, he threw it into the forging furnace.
Under the burning of the explosive fireball, the barrier between them vanished, the special trait slowly fused into the armor!
Success!
The Icy Armor was successfully forged!
Cold frosty air spread out of the forging furnace at this moment, [Firm Formation, [Icy Formation, and [Ice Blade Formation, these three formations were also fully activated on the armor.
At that instant, the forging furnace's fire was put out!
But that was no longer a problem.
After forging his first magic defensive equipment, Ye Feng breathed roughly as he could not conceal the excitement and joy in his heart.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage two peak Icy Armor, you have obtained 1000 fire elemental points, and 500 ice elemental points!"
Ye Feng was very happy.
His effort was not in vain, he finally created his first magic defensive equipment. Even though it was only at stage two peak, it had already far exceeded many senior stage three Blacksmiths in Aden City.
After all, even in a large city like Aden City, many senior stage three Blacksmiths had never succeeded in forging a defensive equipment!
Ye Feng had already passed this hurdle, while many Blacksmiths were still stuck before the hurdle with no way of progressing.
"The reward is really high!"
"Such a large number of fire and ice elemental points, it is much higher than forging a stage three superior-grade weapon!"
Ye Feng could not help but look forward to it.
Even a stage two peak Icy Armor could give such a reward equivalent to making a stage three superior-grade weapon.
Then, if he forged the stage three peak Flaming Armor, would he be able to receive elemental points comparable to making a stage four weapon?
Stage four weapons were used by existences above Advanced Knights, the Bronze Knights! Four Star Magicians were on that level as well.
"After the first forging succeeds, the remaining ones will become much easier."
"After I completely forge all of the Icy Armors, I will immediately start on the Flaming Armors. Hopefully, I can grow to the level of a Bronze Knight or even reach the boundary of a Four Star Magician!"
After taking in a deep breath, Ye Feng took the Icy Armor out of the forging furnace and gathered his fire magic again, starting a new round of forging.

Chapter 21: Red Flame Armor, Bronze Knight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Inside the Blacksmith Shop, for three days and nights, Ye Feng forged the stage two Icy Armor without rest.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
As his hammer struck, the sound echoed continuously.
As Icy Armors were made one by one, Ye Feng made great gains, his eyes were shining brightly as he gradually got familiar with the forging of defensive equipment!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage two Icy Armor, you have obtained 1000 fire elemental points, and 500 ice elemental points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage two Icy Armor, you have obtained 900 fire elemental points, and 400 ice elemental points!"
...
As the system notification continued to ring, Ye Feng's strength rose rapidly as he absorbed the fire elements and ice elements.
Originally, he was at the level of a medial-class Advanced Knight, but at this moment, he was already stepping into the realm of superior-class.
One had to know, for an Advanced Knight to go from medial-class to superior-class, at least three to fives years of tough cultivation was needed!
But here, Ye Feng advanced rapidly by just hammering and forging some armors.
Not only that, even his Magician cultivation, which had been stagnant for some time, rose as well, moving towards the peak of a Three Star Magician.
As he continued to forge Icy Armors successfully, Ye Feng's proficiency at forging the Knight's Armor, carving the three formations, as well as the final step of fusing the special trait, became increasingly higher at a rapid speed.
As he completed more and more armors.
Within the Blacksmith Shop, at a corner, there was a pile of Knight's Armors that emanated a cold, chilly aura.
On the ground, there were already patches of frost and rising cold air.
It was finally time to forge a Flaming Armor!
The forging of the Flaming Armor was not too different from forging the Icy Armor, there was only one extra step. That was to separate the flaming special trait of the burning red lion-tiger's heart, and at the final step, he had to fuse it into the armor along with the red flame ore.
Even though this extra step made it slightly harder, Ye Feng had already started to master the crux of forging armor!
Inside the forging furnace, flames surged as pieces of red flame ore started to melt after reaching their melting point.
Ye Feng's hammer moved rapidly, striking continuously as a Knight's Armor soon took form. He then carved all three formations, [Flame Formation, [Explosive Fire Formation, and [Firm Formation, at one go.
Next was the step to separate the special trait of the burning red lion-tiger's heart, Ye Feng felt very relaxed about this.
Explosive fireball appeared suddenly, entering the burning red lion-tiger's heart as it seemed to have an intense reaction and started to beat rapidly.
Bam!
The heart burst as droplets of molten liquid flowed within the forging furnace, different from the flames already within the furnace.
As time passed, the two special traits slowly fused into the armor, Ye Feng watched with anticipation as he waited nervously to see if the Flaming Armor would be successfully created!
Bam!
Flames surged.
At this moment, within the forging furnace, the fire grew by three to five times, almost burning Ye Feng's hair.
Flames seared on the newly created armor, if a noble Advanced Knight wore it, he would look like an imposing Flame Knight!
Of course, this flaming appearance was only so evident because it had just come out of the furnace.
"Success!"
"Peak stage three Flaming Armor has been forged successfully!"
Ye Feng was extremely happy.
At this moment, he felt a surging strength in his body, his entire body's strength seemed to have been elevated to a whole new level.
Rising above an Advanced Knight, he became a Bronze Knight!
In the four forces of Osborne City, no Bronze Knight had ever appeared! But now, Ye Feng was a great Bronze Knight.
He was the sole Bronze Knight in Osborne City! Right now, if the strongest person in Osborne City, the Advanced Knight Apal, appeared before Ye Feng, his head would burst like a watermelon from one punch.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Flaming Armor, you have obtained 3000 fire elemental points, and 1000 fire elemental points!"
The system notification rang.
However, at this moment, Ye Feng could not care about it.
After succeeding in making the first Flaming Armor, he started to forge the second one, he intended to complete the order in one go.
And most importantly, using the reward from forging these armors, he wanted to push his Magician cultivation to the realm of a Four Star Magician as well!
When he was a Three Star Magician, Ye Feng did not need to use incantations to unleash the powerful fire magic, explosive fireball.
The truth was, Ye Feng was quite curious about the extent and type of fire magic he could instantly cast after becoming a Four Star Magician!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Flaming Armor, you have obtained 3000 fire elemental points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Flaming Armor, you have obtained 3000 fire elemental points!"
...
System notifications rang continuously, eventually, Ye Feng completed the final Flaming Armor that was ordered.
Bam!
At this moment, Ye Feng felt his mind becoming clearer, his mental power was also growing rapidly, it seemed to have been elevated to another level.
In his current condition, he could even clearly see the fire elements moving around in the surroundings!
"Starfire meteorite!"
Ye Feng snapped out of that state.
Bam!
In his palm, a meteorite fireball that carried explosive flames slowly manifested, emitting a dangerous aura.
This was a four star magic!
Normally speaking, if caught unguarded, even a superior-class Bronze Knight would be heavily injured if not dead from a direct hit by this starfire meteorite!
Even though Magicians were very weak at close combat, the magic that they used were naturally more destructive compared to the methods of Knights.
"The more of the same armor that I make, the fewer elements I will be rewarded with! Until eventually, I will no longer gain any rewards from making them..."
"Osborne City is simply too small, even if Militan gives me many orders, they will be limited to stage three materials, after becoming a Four Star Magician and a Bronze Knight, this is already the limit..."
After completing all of the ordered armors, Ye Feng created another stage three weapon, but the elements that he received were as good as none.
Seeing this, Ye Feng could not help but frown.
After getting used to the vast amount of elements that he received from forging, getting so few elements from making a stage three weapon made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Osborne City is too small!"
"If I were to leave, where can I go to find new materials?"
At this moment, Ye Feng gazed afar, he wondered if he should explore the outside world and search for higher stage materials to refine new weapons!

Chapter 22: Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Forging ordinary stage three weapons could no longer give him a decent amount of elements!
This made Ye Feng slightly anxious.
Eventually, he made the decision to leave Osborne City to find better materials for forging so that he could raise his strength.
Osborne City's City Lord Manor.
After Ye Feng sent this batch of magic armors to them, he was sent off by Militan as he rode the horse carriage and went south, his destination was Phoenix Nest City.
"Rumors state that it is the Land of Spirits with countless treasures, I hope it will not disappoint me!"
On the horse carriage, Ye Feng said to himself.
Phoenix Nest City was very close to the Land of Chaos and Land of Spirits.
For this trip, Ye Feng was heading for the Land of Spirits to try and find treasures within it, it would be best if he could get stage four forging materials.
In the Land of Spirits, there were countless treasures, large batches of adventurers would go there in search of fortune and opportunities.
Every year, there would be adventurers who found extremely precious treasures, rising up rapidly and becoming a powerful Magician or an expert Knight!
In Phoenix Nest City, the Mercenary Guild.
Ye Feng pushed the door and entered, his gaze swept around the main hall of the guild, he was trying to find a reliable mercenary group to join.
It would be best if they were a group that often went in the Land of Spirits but their strength could not surpass him, otherwise it would be dangerous.
Regarding the Land of Spirits, Ye Feng was not familiar with it, there would be many problems if he did not have the company of senior and experienced mercenaries.
"Hehe."
"You guys have no idea how dangerous it was the last time we went to the Land of Spirits! We found a star cloud rock mine, in the end, a minotaur tribe was lured to us."
"It was all thanks to our leader who killed a minotaur with each slash, saving the entire group in the end..."
A series of loud bragging could be heard by Ye Feng.
Ye Feng turned to look.
He saw that at a nearby table, there was a youngster wearing leather armor and drinking malt beer, he was praising and bragging about his leader.
On his chest, there was a brass medallion with the pattern of a blazing flame.
"Within Phoenix Nest City, the twelfth positioned Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps?"
Ye Feng looked at the ranking of the guilds that was displayed in the hall, he walked towards the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps members who were turning in their mission.
This Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps seemed to be moving around the Land of Spirits most of the time, they were very experienced and not too strong either, suiting Ye Feng's requirements.
Other than the middle-aged man with grayish-white hair and brown pupils who was their leader and also an Advanced Knight, the rest of the members were all Intermediate Knights.
"We do not accept private requests, thank you!"
The sole female member of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, the blond and sexy beauty with blue eyes and long legs, saw Ye Feng walking over and immediately rejected.
"Are you recruiting new members?"
Ye Feng asked.
The Land of Spirits was not without danger.
In the Land of Spirits, there were lucky ones who became rich overnight and earned a vast amount of gold coins, soaring to the peak of their lives. There were also many people who died there, becoming nameless adventurers that nobody remembered!
Other than the demon beasts in the Land of Spirits, the inhabitants of the Land of Chaos would often act as bandits to rob those returning mercenaries who had just completed their adventure.
The Land of Chaos had no laws, nobody ruled over it, it grew rampantly like wild grass.
Within it, there were all sorts of races, there were vile criminals who committed heinous crimes, there were merchants who pursued solely profits, there were even beastmen, foxes, blood pythons, humanoids, tiger-headed humanoids and others...
Those adventurers who went to the Land of Spirits alone were simply easy rich targets for those bandits from the Land of Chaos.
"We don't need any!"
"You can tell that our group's requirements are quite high, you need to at least be an Intermediate Knight to join us..."
"After all, our leader is a great Advanced Knight, our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps is ranked twelfth in the entire Phoenix Nest City!"
Even before the middle aged leader of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps spoke, all the members proudly rejected Ye Feng.
In the Guild Hall, there were many gazes towards Ye Feng, some were laughing at him in mockery.
"Hahaha!"
"This kid is an Elementary Knight at most! He wants to join the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps but he does not even know their minimum requirement."
"An Elementary Knight may not be of any help in the Land of Spirits, he may even be a burden!"
After the wave of laughter, the middle aged Advanced Knight leader walked over and shook his head, rejecting Ye Feng.
"Kid, stop dreaming of becoming an adventurer! Study hard and get into the Knight's Academy, that is better than anything else. Hurry up and go home."
After saying that, Gallio took the mission paper and brought his members to leave the hall and lead to the Land of Spirits.
Right at this time.
A lump of fire appeared in the hall of this guild, attracting the shocked gazes of everyone.
"A Magician?!"
"Oh heaven! Instantly casted fireball! How long has it been since a peak stage two Magician came to our Mercenary Guild in Phoenix Nest City!"
"Oh Great Deity of Mercenaries, this esteemed peak stage two Magician is so young, did he start meditating from birth?"
Waves of gasps could be heard.
Even the employees of the guild looked towards Ye Feng, wanting to run to him and ask if he was going to sign up and become a mercenary.
"The truth is, I am a Fire Elemental Magician!"
Ye Feng rubbed his nose and said slowly.
Leader Gallio who was about to leave the Mercenary Guild stared with wide eyes, he jumped thrice with one movement, quickly arriving before Ye Feng as he hugged.
"My friend, from today onwards, you will be a member of our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps! Even if you want the sole female member of our group, Jeffany, to be your girlfriend, I can help you with it!"
The moment Ye Feng showed his identity as a Magician, the members of Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps no longer showed any proud attitude towards him; they were all smiling at him kindly.
Even the cold and sexy beauty, Jeffany, showed Ye Feng a warm smile.
"Welcome! New member!"
"My name is Jeffany, if you want me to be your girlfriend, I can consider it..."
In the Mercenary Guild, all of the representatives of the various mercenary groups showed expressions of regret, they pounded their chests in frustration, angry that they had reacted too slowly!
Earlier, before the leader of Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps Gallio reacted, they should have ran away with this peak stage two Magician.
He was a Magician after all!
Not long after, Ye Feng got more familiar with the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, he learned that their Leader Gallio had accepted a new mission, the destination was the Land of Spirits.
"Before going to the Land of Spirits, I need to prepare some things, healing potions, energy potions, elemental potions, and others..." Ye Feng thought to himself.
There was still half a day until the mercenary group set off to the Land of Spirits, he had ample time to prepare these potions.

Chapter 23: Black Poison Wolf
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During this period of time when he was making transactions with Militan in Osborne City, Ye Feng had accumulated a lot of gold coins. Even though he only brought a portion of them, he still had several thousand gold coins.
In the shop of Phoenix Nest City, after looking for half a day, Ye Feng gained a new bag on his back, it was filled with potions that he prepared, the quantity was not small.
In any case, he did not lack gold coins.
"I bought many potions, it is quite troublesome to carry them! If only I had a spatial bag, but these things are quite rare."
"I hope that in the future, I can make my own spatial bag." Ye Feng sighed and said.
Afterwards, he went to the city gate of Phoenix Nest City, the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps were already waiting for him there.
Dimitri, who was the leather armored young man drinking malt beer earlier in the Mercenary Guild and bragging loudly, waved at Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, we're here, everyone is waiting for you!"
After the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps assembled, Gallio brought everyone to rush towards the Land of Spirits, they had limited time after all.
Phoenix Nest City was separated from Land of Spirits by a forest, it was a miasma forest that was covered in poisonous gas!
Poisonous gas spread in that area, for the Knights of the mercenary group, crossing that miasma forest was an arduous and difficult journey.
Because if any situation arose in the miasma forest, they would need to fight. Knights were the most vulnerable because it was easy for poisonous gas to enter their body during combat.
It could be said.
In this miasma forest, Knights were unable to use their full strength in combat, they were at least thirty percent weaker from the start.
But Magicians were not too affected by it!
This was also why so many Mercenary Guilds became excited when Ye Feng revealed that he was a peak stage two Magician in the Mercenary Guild and also the fact that he had fire magic that had powerful destructive properties.
Magicians had status above Knights of the same level after all!
Especially in a place like the miasma forest, Magicians had a natural advantage, they were the safety net of the mercenary group.
"Ye Feng, this is the first time you are entering a miasma forest, don't worry too much, just cover your mouth and don't take in deep breaths!"
"The only danger in here are the demon beasts that may be migrating from the nearby forests!"
"But there is no need to worry too much, this area that we are traveling across is the peripheral area connected to the Land of Spirits. Unless we are extremely unlucky, in the usual case, we will only meet stage two demon beasts."
Ollie carried his heavy sword and smiled while speaking to Ye Feng.
He was an upper-tier Intermediate Knight, he was only a step away from becoming an Advanced Knight. In the entire mercenary group, other than the Leader Gallio, he was the most senior mercenary.
Gallio sent Ollie to protect the Magician Ye Feng who had weak physical combat abilities.
At this moment.
At this point in time, Ye Feng was guarded at the center, the Leader Gallio was walking at the front while the other members walked by the left and right, the entire Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had already entered the territory of the miasma forest.
In just about twenty minutes, they would be able to pass the miasma forest and reach the Land of Spirits.
At this time, after hearing Ollie's words, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks.
Once he stopped, the entire Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had to stop with him, the Leader Gallio and the rest of the members looked towards Ye Feng in confusion.
"Ye Feng, what happened?"
Ye Feng looked at the shaded area deep within the forest ahead of them, he could not help but ask Ollie.
"Demon beast! Is it hiding in there?"
The other members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps looked towards the area that Ye Feng pointed to, but none of them saw anything, they only saw shadows in the forest.
The only Advanced Knight, Gallio, seemed to have seen something, his expression changed as he raised the sword in his hand, shouting: "Be careful!"
"Demon beast!"
"There is a considerably large demon beast in that forest, it is at least peak stage two, the perception of a Magician is much sharper than us Knights."
Gallio shouted for the entire group to get prepared.
Deep within the forest.
The demon beast hiding in the shadow also realized that its concealment was seen through, it stopped hiding itself, instead, started to move out slowly.
It had a huge body that was covered in black fur, its every breath corroded the surrounding trees, the length of its entire body was at least four meters long.
Even the most muscular Advanced Knight, Leader Gallio, seemed petite in front of this huge demon beast!
"Gasp!"
"Stage three demon beast, black poison wolf!"
Gallio's expression changed.
Even the other seven to eight members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps took in a sharp breath, their eyes filled with terror.
A stage three demon beast was not weaker than an Advanced Knight!
Furthermore, this was the miasma forest, the black poison wolf had a natural territorial advantage, it would not be restricted like the other demon beasts.
In this miasma forest, the ones affected were only the Knights of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps.
"Damn it, I did not hear of any new stage three black poison wolf appearing in the miasma forest these few days!"
"Our luck is simply too bad!"
"In the worst case, we might all die here."
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps were all flustering, the only calm person was Ye Feng, even the Advanced Knight, Leader Gallio, was only putting up a front now.
Gallio was incredibly flustered internally.
He had killed at least seven to eight stage three demon beasts! But trying to kill a stage three black poison wolf in the miasma forest was simply too much for him.
"Roar!"
The black poison wolf growled, its four meter long body erupted with terrifying force, it charged towards the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps with surging poisonous gas.
This was a hunt!
A complete hunt!
This stage three black poison wolf had appeared in the miasma forest long ago, the reason it had not been discovered was because all the adventurers and mercenaries that saw it were dead.
"Offensive skill, Heavy Slash!"
Gallio shouted, he raised his Knight's Heavy Sword and slashed down with great intensity at the head of this stage three black poison wolf.
At this moment, he could not care if the poisonous gas got into his body.
The only that he could do was to try to kill this stage three black poison wolf with one strike!
Otherwise, if this dragged on, he would die from getting overwhelmed by the poisonous gas in the miasma forest eventually.
Bam!
The sword missed.
The black poison wolf actually stopped itself in midair, dodging this slash attack that had great power.
At the next moment, the Advanced Knight Gallio who had never failed while traveling the Land of Spirits, was sent flying by the black poison wolf's attack.
His armor shattered! Blood flowed out like a stream!
He was in a pathetic state!
The only Advanced Knight of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had been defeated in one instant, he was no longer in his peak condition.

Chapter 24: Stage Three Peak Magician?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Leader lost?"
"Oh heaven! Great Deity of Mercenaries, our leader is a great Advanced Knight, he actually got defeated so easily!"
"Is our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps going to be wiped out here in the miasma forest today? How can this..."
Seeing that the Advanced Knight Gallio had lost in an instant, none of the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps could even imagine it happening.
The situation was extremely dangerous now!
if they stayed in this miasma forest for a long time, even if they did not get killed by this stage three black poison wolf, they would die from the absorption of the poisonous gas.
However, they were currently at the center of the miasma forest, even if they wanted to go to the Land of Spirits or return to Phoenix Nest City, they would need to spend ten minutes to leave the forest!
Within these ten minutes, ignoring the poisonous gas, just the stage three black poison wolf could wipe out the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps more than ten times over!
"Quickly escape!"
This stage three black poison wolf is very crafty, none of you are its match! Hurry up and run!"
Gallio screamed.
At this moment, he was forcing himself to get up, he held his Knight's Heavy Sword and slowly got up shakily, wanting to try and kill this stage three black poison wolf again.
Unfortunately, in the ruthless eyes of this stage three black poison wolf, there was a human-like mockery gaze, it did not fight against him.
Turning around, the stage three black poison wolf charged towards the other members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps!
Seeing this, Gallio got increasingly anxious.
Even an Advanced Knight like him suffered a loss against this beast, in their mercenary group, those Intermediate Knights were simply like a snack for this wolf, what could they do?
"Escape!"
Gallio jumped up and slashed with his heavy sword again.
Offensive skill, Heavy Slash!
Strong gusts of wind surged but it was a futile attempt, he had missed again, not managing to even touch this stage three black poison wolf.
The stage three black poison wolf did not give the great Advanced Knight Gallio a chance to fight, it wanted to drag out the fight with this Advanced Knight and let him die naturally in this environment.
"We're doomed!"
"Our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps is doomed!"
"Against such a vicious and cruel beast, even if there were two or three Advanced Knights instead of just myself, the top ten mercenary groups of Phoenix Nest City would also get wiped out here..."
"The ninth position Rift Wind Mercenary Group that disappeared in the last twenty days had not been seen by any adventurer, most likely, all the ones who saw them in the Land of Spirits had already died in this beast's hands!"
Gallio had an ashen expression, he seemed to feel despair already.
But right at this time.
In the miasma forest, blazing hot fire elements gathered together, there was no incantation heard before it.
Bam!
A palm-sized fireball with explosive markings appeared along the route that this stage three black poison wolf was taking.
"Howl!"
The stage three black poison wolf moved swiftly, changing direction instantly, causing this explosive fireball to miss its target.
"Instantly casted fire magic and this is the stage three explosive fireball? This power belongs to a peak stage three Magician at least!"
"Oh heaven!"
"Oh Great Deity of Magic, Ye Feng, you are not just a noble Magician, you are even a powerful Three Star Fire Magician?"
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps spoke with trembling voices.
At this moment.
They were feeling despair from facing this ferocious stage three black poison wolf, but now, there was a spark of hope in their eyes.
A stage three black poison wolf against a peak Three Star Magician, the odds of victory was likely even between them.
"Peak Three Star Magician? And he is able to instantly cast fire magic? Ye Feng is actually so powerful?"
Gallio also had a shocked expression, soon, it turned into intense joy.
An upper-tier Advanced Knight together with a peak Three Star Magician, with this level of strength, they had some confidence of killing the stage three black poison wolf, even in this miasma forest!
"It moved so quickly?"
"It seems that it has eaten quite a number of Advanced Knights!"
"This stage three black poison wolf is likely a peak stage three demon beast, do I need to go and break its legs and restrain its speed so that the fireball can burn it to death?"
Ye Feng mumbled to himself.
The truth was...
This was the first time he was attacking a demon beast of this level, he lacked experience. Even though his Knight and Magician cultivation levels were far above the stage three black poison wolf, he could not kill it instantly on the spot.
If other Bronze Knights or Four Star Magicians saw this, they would likely jump up in anger and break Ye Feng's knee!
"None of you actually asked about my level as a Magician!"
Responding to the shouting of his group, Ye Feng blinked in an innocent manner.
At the same time.
Ye Feng thought internally.
Just peak Three Star Magician realm already shocked them to this extent, if they knew that he was actually a Four Star Magician, would they all come to hug his leg and cry out loud?
"Ye Feng, quickly attack!"
At this moment, Gallio displayed the experience of a senior mercenary leader.
He tossed out his Knight's Heavy Sword and accurately predicted the stage three black poison wolf's location, causing this beast to lose one leg immediately.
Bam!
Explosive fireballs appeared again!
This time, five to six of them shot out.
At that instant.
This stage three black poison wolf cried out pitifully, its head was completely charred, it lay on the ground with no signs of life remaining!
Gallio skillfully skinned its stage three wolf skin and extracted the stage three demon core, handing them to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng looked at the pitiful Gallio and the other members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, he wanted to say something.
But suddenly, the system notification rang in his mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a stage three wolf skin and a stage three demon core, detecting a poison attribute special trait, the Host has been rewarded with the Ferocious Poison Formation chart!"
Ye Feng received the demon core and the wolf skin, he looked at the pitiful group and wanted to compensate them.
"After we get to Osborne City, I will make a weapon for each of you! The ones you are using are too low in grade..."
Everyone was surprised.
"Actually, I am a stage three Blacksmith."
Everyone was in disbelief.
After resting for a while, Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps set off again, Ye Feng also talked to them during this time after they got closer to each other.
After knowing that Ye Feng was a stage three Blacksmith and had specially come out to find forging materials of higher quality, Gallio instantly described the situation of the Land of Chaos and its relevant details.
"I am not bragging, the City of Chaos is a place where all sorts of loot can be transacted! If you want to find higher quality forging materials, that is the place to go..."
Ollie said at the same time.
While conversing, the group finally got out of the miasma forest.

Chapter 25: Spatial Rock
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A prosperous but somewhat dim-looking city slowly appeared in front of the eyes of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, it was called the City of Chaos.
Be it the races living in the Land of Chaos or the adventurers and mercenaries who want to enter the Land of Spirits in search of treasure, this was the place where they would rest.
After fighting against that peak stage three black poison wolf in the miasma forest, the leather armor of the members of the group had suffered considerable damage, they needed to repair or change them in this city.
"Your weapons are too low grade!"
"Give them all to me!"
"I will reforge them for you and add in a Sharpness Formation to raise your combat strength."
After passing a Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng looked at the forging furnace with some desire, he paid the shop some gold coins and spoke to the members of the mercenary corps.
The Blacksmiths in the shop were all scoffing and watching at one side when they heard that Ye Feng was a stage three Blacksmith.
The reason was simple, Ye Feng was too young!
They would barely believe him if he bluffed that he was a stage two blacksmith, but claiming to be a stage three Blacksmith, it was simply unbelievable.
"I'll start first, let's have a look at Ye Feng's capabilities!"
Gallio laughed loudly as he handed the Knight's Heavy Sword that was covered in bite marks and chipped parts.
The heavy sword did not need any Sharpness Formation, he could add in other formations that were the basic for stage three Blacksmiths to learn.
After all of the weapons were reforged by Ye Feng, the Blacksmiths in the shop were all fully convinced, they looked at him in shock and amazement.
"Next, I need to purchase high grade forging materials!"
In the City of Chaos, on the transaction street that was extremely vibrant, Ye Feng followed the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps as they toured almost the entire city.
[Single Horn of the Green Flame Horned Beast]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: One of the forging materials for the sturdy stage three defensive shield, it can also be used as a supplementary forging material for a stage three weapon.
[Spine of the Black Tiger]
Grade: Stage Four Inferior-grade
Special Trait: Can be the supplementary material of a magic weapon, or the main component of a stage three weapon, there is a 1% chance after forging to retain the ferocity of the black tiger.
[Silver Sand Rock]
Grade: Stage Three Superior-grade
Special Trait: An extremely rare supplementary forging material, it can be used in defensive equipment, weapons, or magic tools, because it is very unstable, it is hard to forge into a solid object.
[Black Ink Crystal Rock]
Grade: Stage Four Superior-grade
Special Trait: Precious material for the forging of magic weapons, it can also be used as the magic source for a Four Star Magician's Wand.
...
...
Ye Feng left Osborne City while bringing nine thousand gold coins with him, after touring the entire City of Chaos, he used them all.
Not only that, he even borrowed nearly two thousand gold coins from the Leader Gallio, he nearly felt a severe heartache!
However, his gains were quite huge.
He gained all sorts of stage three superior-grade forging materials, there were also some stage four forging materials, Ye Feng was extremely happy.
Ye Feng was only regretful that he did not bring more gold coins when he left Osborne City, otherwise, he could buy even more ores!
After this trip to the City of Chaos, when Ye Feng returns to Osborne City, he would be ready to start forging stage four weapons.
In fact, he could also start attempting to forge defensive equipment, weapons, or magic weapons! He had sufficient high quality forging materials now.
"However, my biggest gain is not the forging materials, but the spatial rock in my hand!"
"Hehe! I used less than thirty gold coins to buy this spatial rock that is worth three thousand to ten thousand gold coins in the auction, this is a worthwhile trip indeed!"
Ye Feng smiled and said.
He was holding onto a grayish rock, it looked no different from an ordinary rock on the streets!
However, only stage three or higher Blacksmiths could recognize that this unassuming rock was actually the treasured material for forging the legendary spatial bag.
Spatial rock!
This thing did not have a grade, it was only rare, mystical, and hard to find!
If it was forged into a low grade spatial bag, its value would rise by several times, with a minimum of ten thousand gold coins, it would almost match the price of a stage four magic defensive equipment.
If it could be forged into a higher grade spatial ring, then the value would range between fifty to a hundred thousand gold coins, it would often be unavailable even if one had the funds to buy it, opportunities were necessary.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the blueprint for forging the spatial bag, as well as the blueprint for forging the spatial ring!"
In Ye Feng's mind, the steps to make the spatial bag and ring, as well as the formations needed to be carved on them, entered continuously without stop.
With these knowledge, even if Ye Feng was just a stage three Blacksmith with no experience in successfully making a stage four weapon, he had a ninety-percent certainty of forging a spatial equipment.
"You are referring to this kid? He is the sucker who spent over ten thousand gold coins in the four streets of the City of Chaos and bought a bunch of ores and materials?"
"That's right, this is the kid!"
Far away, at a corner of the street, two peculiar figures appeared, they looked towards Ye Feng sinisterly, there was greed in their eyes.
Behind the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, Ye Feng held his spatial rock while sensing that someone was observing him, but he did not pay much attention to it.
As a Bronze Knight and also a Four Star Magician, in this lawless City of Chaos, it was already a miracle that he did not turn into a bandit himself and robbed others.
As for getting robbed?
Ye Feng had not even thought of the possibility.
"Let's go!"
"The recuperation is done and supplies have already been stocked up! It is time to head to the Land of Spirits, Ye Feng, are you going back to Osborne City or going to the Land of Spirits with us?"
Gallio looked at Ye Feng, asking for his intention.
Ye Feng rubbed his chin.
Even though he had already gotten most of the high grade materials that he needed, the Land of Spirits was just right before him, he wanted to go take a look personally!
"Let's go to the Land of Spirits!"
"After all, I am quite free now, who knows, the Land of Spirits might have even better forging materials for me to collect."
Ye Feng said slowly.
Next, he followed the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, leaving the City of Chaos and heading towards the Land of Spirits.
Right now, the sky was turning darker as it approached the time of dusk.
The moment they left the City of Chaos, without getting too far, Ye Feng and the rest heard a cold and angry voice shouting behind them.
"Stand there!"
"You suckers!"
"Hand over all of your gold coins, the treasures that you bought, and all the precious items you own!"
In the direction of the City of Chaos, ruthless figures approached Ye Feng and the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps at a rapid speed.
None of them were humans, they all had dark green skin, they had snake pupils, their hair was also twisted into the shapes of snakes.
In the Land of Chaos, the most murderous bandits were the members of the Heavenly Snake tribe! They had already targeted Ye Feng's group, wanting to intercept them along the way, to kill them and take their treasures.

Chapter 26: Land of Spirits
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were only two Heavenly Snake tribesmen who came to the City of Chaos, they slithered rapidly with their snake bodies, encircling the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps from the front and back in the blink of an eye.
Their body size was also smaller than the stage three black poison wolf that the group encountered earlier, if they stood straight up, even the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps members were taller and more muscular than them!
Auras of their strength surged, proving that they were both at the level of Advanced Knight, one was an upper-tier Advanced Knight, the other was a lower-tier Advanced Knight.
The sturdy snake body, sharp fangs, and hideous face, made them look more like demon beasts than humans, this was the cruel and brutal Heavenly Snake tribe that lived in the Land of Chaos.
"In the Land of Chaos, a kid who can spend more than ten thousand gold coins without flinching has actually hired this mercenary group to protect himself?"
The two Heavenly Snake tribesmen were laughing in contempt.
In their opinion, the other side only had an Advanced Knight, Gallio, who was merely an upper-tier Advanced Knight, he was of no threat to the rest of them.
In a battle of two against one, Gallio was definitely going to die!
The loot from this sucker was theirs, nothing could stop them, even if their tribe leader came personally.
The two Heavenly Snake tribesmen had cruel gazes in their pupils.
They were not going to leave anyone alive!
"Hehe!"
"Robbing others of their treasure, is this the specialty of the Land of Chaos?"
Ye Feng laughed in a weird tone.
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps also started to laugh, they looked at the two Advanced Knight Heavenly Snake tribesmen with pitiful gazes!
Two Advanced Knights trying to rob a peak Three Star Magician who can instantly cast three star spells, and he was even guarded by an Advanced Knight. They were simply too foolish.
One stage three magic could easily kill a lower-tier Advanced Knight instantly.
"Ye Feng, I told you already, when buying materials and spending gold coins, you should not be so flashy, but you refused to listen..."
Leader Gallio shrugged his shoulders, he looked at himself who was about to be robbed before turning to Ye Feng in a helpless manner and saying.
"Indeed, indeed."
"If it were us, after seeing so many gold coins, we will want to rob you too."
Ollie also joined in.
Seeing this situation, the two Heavenly Snake tribesmen instantly raged, their scary looking faces became even more terrifying.
"It seems that you will not understand reality until we teach you a lesson!"
"Watch as I devour all of you!"
The two powerful Advanced Knight Heavenly Snake tribesmen charged out from the front and back respectively, their hair turned into long snakes that bit towards the group.
Heavenly Snake tribe, offensive skill — Snake Devour!
"I will stall the strongest Heavenly Snake tribesman, Ye Feng, using this time, use your magic to kill the other one."
"After that, we will..."
Gallio held his Knight's Heavy Sword and had a tense mood, he quickly entered his combat mode and made a plan for this fight.
But right at this time.
Bam!
Explosive fireballs appeared abruptly.
"Instantly casting stage three magic, explosive fireball, and there are even more than one of them?"
"Peak Three Star Magician!"
The two Heavenly Snake tribesmen who were charging forward had bulging eyeballs as they quickly turned around, trying to escape from this place.
The sucker that they targeted had turned into a vicious wolf in an instant!
They were extremely frightened.
Bam!
Two charred corpses of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen lay on the ground.
"Why so much trouble when we can just kill them with magic instantly, right?"
Ye Feng said slowly.
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, including their leader, had completely shocked and dazed expressions.
"Are peak Three Star Magicians so powerful?"
Gallio felt like he was still in a dream.
Everyone left the place quickly.
Not long after.
Many twisted snake shadows left the City of Chaos at a rapid speed, their leader was a Heavenly Snake tribe elder, he had a terrifying aura as he looked at the two corpses on the ground with a vicious expression.
"Who?"
"Who is it?"
"Who dares to kill the members of our Heavenly Snake tribe!"
The Heavenly Snake tribe elder was exceptionally angry.
All over the place, there were terrifying snake shadows, they were also filled with rage, they searched for traces of the attacker in a frenzied state, but it was a pity they had no findings.
At this time, Ye Feng had already followed the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps to leave the territory of the Land of Chaos, they were now in the Land of Spirits.
"Rumor has it that long ago, this was the battlefield of two huge empires, countless corpses were buried underneath the ground..."
"The Land of Spirits is not suitable for living people, it has nurtured many undead creatures, not only Advanced Knight level, there are even Bronze Knights and Silver Knights..."
Gallio explained to Ye Feng slowly.
While he was speaking, Ollie raised his heavy sword and shattered a skeleton that tried to crawl out of the soil and attack these living people.
"Ye Feng, after the reforging, my heavy sword has gotten much stronger!"
Ollie praised.
Gallio pointed at the shattered skeleton and said: "If living beings show up here, the nearby slumbering undead creatures will be woken up, because they do not fear death, there will definitely be a huge battle..."
"Thankfully, these ordinary skeletons are only at the level of an Elementary Knight."
"The most dangerous time was ten years ago, the mercenary group encountered an Undead Knight, that is a peak stage three existence that is extremely hard to kill, it even has many stage one and two undead subordinates..."
Gallio continued his explanation.
"Leader, quickly look!"
"Is that cross the lost magical item that were were tasked to retrieve? It is a magical treasure that is worth five thousand gold coins."
At this time, Ollie pointed at the front towards a silvery item that was stabbed on a gravestone, he rushed forward and pulled out the cross.
But Gallio seemed to have noticed something, he screamed loudly in fear.
"Don't pull it out!"
It was too late.
A skeleton cloaked in dappled iron armor, holding a Knight's Greatsword, and had eerie green burning flame on its body, slowly climbed out of the grave.
As this Knight awakened, the ground shook slightly, white bone arms also stabbed out of the ground from the soil layer.
"Ah! This is an Undead Knight!"
"Quickly escape!"
Gallio's eyes were full of fear, he held his Knight's Heavy Sword and wanted to defend the other members to aid in their escape.
Until today, Gallio still remembered the desperate battle ten years ago when they met an Undead Knight, as well as the pitiful outcome that followed.
Back then, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps was nearly crippled from this! Countless white bone subordinates surged towards them like a ceaseless tide, they were also sent into despair.
Furthermore, the Undead Knight was a peak stage three undead with no physical weaknesses, it was extremely hard to kill.
At this time, explosive fireballs appeared again, crashing into the graveyard like they were completely costless.
After a long time.
The graveyard was in ruins, the white bone creatures and the Undead Knight were reduced to ashes.
At this time, Ye Feng retracted his palm.
"Let's continue searching for treasures!"
The members of the mercenary group were all stunned, after they managed to regain their senses from this shocking result, Leader Gallio could not help but ask.
"Ye Feng, are you really just a peak Three Star Magician?"

Chapter 27: Bronze Evil Spirit Knight
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Feng did not answer the question, Gallio sighed at Ye Feng's strength, he continued to bring the mercenary group deeper into the Land of Spirits.
The Land of Spirits was huge.
The task that they undertook was completed!
Next, Gallio could finally have the freedom to search for treasures.
In this Land of Spirits, there was not just danger, but also countless treasures, Gallio wanted to become a Bronze Knight in this lifetime after all.
Soon.
With Ye Feng's ability to instantly kill even a peak stage three Undead Knight, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps gradually became more courageous and daring.
With a peak Three Star Magician and an Advanced Knight, they could also roam unhindered!
"Leader, take a look, what is that?"
"A portion of an armor?"
Ollie shouted.
Nearing this, even the Blacksmith Ye Feng turned to look at the direction, he saw that bronze-like object.
"It seems like the helmet of an ancient armor?"
"However, there are no fluctuations of weaponry formations on it, this should not be a stage three weapon, even if it is, it can no longer be used."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
Ye Feng did not have much experience in traversing this Land of Spirits, thus, he had been acting as a physically weak Magician who was protected at the center by everyone.
But the truth was.
In terms of Knight cultivation, Ye Feng was the strongest among them as a Bronze Knight, he was far stronger than the Leader Gallio.
"Ollie, go and retrieve it." Gallio said.
Immediately, Ollie carried his heavy sword and rushed over.
He was the most nimble person in the mercenary group, even the Advanced Knight Gallio could not compare to him.
If anything happened during that process, Ollie could quickly retreat back to the group!
Right when Ollie approached it.
Bam!
A foul smell started to spread from the soil near the bronze helmet, next, a rotten palm grabbed Ollie's feet.
"What's this?"
Ollie waved his sword to attack it, but this rotten arm was unharmed.
"Quickly, go save him!"
Gallio shouted loudly.
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps charged over.
Only Ye Feng had a vague sensation that something was amiss.
The undead creature that used this rotten palm could easily restrain Ollie, it was at least a stage three creature, but it did not kill him.
Undead creatures would only act according to their instincts, they would kill all living beings, just like the peak stage three Undead Knight that they met earlier!
But this rotten creature seemed to have some intelligence, it grabbed onto one of them to lure everyone else into approaching it.
"Wait, don't go over!"
"I'll use my fire magic to burn it!"
Ye Feng shouted at them.
But it was too late!
Bam!
The rotten creature broke out of the soil, the stench spread out along with the exposure of its terrifying appearance.
An armor made of bronze, the shattered parts of the armor had rotten flesh and blood, its eyes were scarlet red, resembling tiny flames.
"This is a bronze level Undead Knight! The strongest predator in this territory, the Evil Spirit Knight!"
"Damn it! A bronze level enemy!"
Gallio was pale with shock, he felt immense fear.
At this moment, the desperation in his mind even surpassed the time when they met the stage three black poison wolf.
Bronze level strength completely dominated them after all!
"Ah!"
"Leader!"
Waves of pitiful cries could be heard.
The Evil Spirit Knight used Ollie as a weapon to send the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps flying one by one.
Next, it threw away Ollie who was coughing out blood continuously, before pulling out its bronze sword from the dirty soil and walking towards Gallio!
Against this bronze level undead aura, Gallio's hands that held the heavy sword were trembling, his instincts vividly telling him that he was going to die.
"We're doomed!"
"Our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps is doomed!"
Right when Gallio was pale and in despair, Ye Feng sighed as he walked towards the Evil Spirit Knight.
All of the fallen members of the mercenary group who were coughing out blood turned pale, they shouted at Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, you are a Magician, what are you doing here?"
"Magicians are not good at close combat! Moreover, you are only a peak Three Star Magician, you cannot defeat this Evil Spirit Knight."
"Leave!"
"You can still escape."
These familiar faces were either shouting or scolding him, they all wanted Ye Feng to run away, even Gallio who had reacted to the situation did the same.
Gallio charged towards the Evil Spirit Knight, wanting to stop it from moving.
"Ye Feng, leave!"
Bam!
Gallio was sent flying by the Evil Spirit Knight's kick.
"Sigh!"
"I can't hide it anymore."
Ye Feng sighed again.
At this moment, the Evil Spirit Knight also found that Ye Feng was the last remaining member of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps who was standing, it walked towards him.
How could a Three Star Magician fight against a Bronze Evil Spirit Knight? Ye Feng was definitely going to die.
But right at this time.
Flaming meteors burst out and slammed into the Bronze Evil Spirit Knight's body with great might.
Four star magic, starfire meteorite!
The Evil Spirit Knight was turned into ashes, only an extremely distorted and twisted bronze armor was left.
"What is this?"
Ye Feng was quite curious as he took out the shining bone that could be seen in the bronze armor, left from the ashes of the Evil Spirit Knight.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for finding a stage four superior-class special material, undead finger! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Necromancy Formation chart, you can carve the Death Formation on weapons to imbue the power of death."
Hearing the World Creator System's notification, surprise flashed across Ye Feng's eyes as he kept this undead finger away on the spot.
So it was a special forging material!
And it was stage four superior-grade as well.
This was likely his most valuable forging material, there was no competition!
"No wonder it could remain unscathed under the barrage of the stage four magic starfire meteorite, this undead finger is not so easy to forge."
After obtaining new materials, Ye Feng was itching to start forging, if there was a forging furnace here, he would likely start forging the undead finger immediately.
At the side, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps members were all stunned, they looked at the ashes of the Bronze Evil Spirit Knight, they were simply unable to react to what had happened.
"Ye Feng, you are a Four Star Magician?"
Gallio asked in shock.
Ye Feng nodded.
Everyone took in a sharp breath, their gaze towards Ye Feng became more heated, they were all gasping in amazement.
Next, after some simple healing, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps went deeper into the Land of Spirits for exploration again, they found a lot of herbs as well as other treasures.
However, other than forging materials, Ye Feng did not want any of those stage two or three treasures! He was only interested in the forging materials.

Chapter 28: Blacksmith Shop
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After seven to eight days of exploration in the Land of Spirits, after encountering all sorts of dangerous situations, the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps finally returned.
Their first resting spot was still the City of Chaos.
With the assurance of this Four Star Magician Ye Feng, it could be said that this exploration of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps was their most profitable one yet!
Everyone returned with abundant gains, including Ye Feng who had gotten a lot of stage three precious materials, even though he did not get much stage four forging materials.
In a tavern of the City of Chaos, after the members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps drank alcohol to celebrate, Gallio told Ye Feng that they were leaving the next day to head back to Phoenix Nest City.
"Ye Feng, are you... still going to stay with us?"
Gallio said with a hesitant tone.
After all, Ye Feng was a Four Star Magician, even among the aristocrats of Phoenix Nest City, he was someone with an extremely noble status.
These mercenaries were able to accompany Ye Feng in exploring the Land of Spirits, it was already quite impressive, this was something that they could brag about in the future!
In Phoenix Nest City's Mercenary Guild, if Ye Feng exposed his identity as a Four Star Magician, it was likely that the number one ranking Giant Axe Mercenary Group that had a Bronze Knight leader would come over and invite Ye Feng to join them personally.
"I will stay in the City of Chaos for some time."
Ye Feng was going to part with the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps after all, with his current strength, he could easily roam the Land of Spirits alone.
He joined the mercenary group because it was his first trip, he was not familiar with the terrain and wanted a guide.
On the second day, Ye Feng left the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps, he brought his remaining gold coins to the largest Merchant Association of the City of Chaos.
When he left, Ye Feng held a deed in his hand, the manager of the association brought Ye Feng to the door of a house.
"Esteemed customer, this is the house that suits your conditions the most! As for the forging furnace and the other equipment that blacksmithing requires, we will send them to you in a few days' time..."
The manager left.
Soon.
The forging furnace and other necessities were transported into this house, it was starting to resemble the Blacksmith Shop in Osborne City!
"The City of Chaos is a good place, last time, when buying forging materials in the city, I spent over ten thousand gold coins, but I managed to get so many materials."
"I will open a shop here and forge weapons, when I become more famous, I will gain a vast amount of gold coins that can be used to purchase even more forging materials!"
"If I continue with that cycle, my strength and forging capabilities will rise sharply! In no time, I can become a stage four Blacksmith..."
Ye Feng's eyes were filled with ambition.
The Blacksmith Shop had been built, Ye Feng went to the forging furnace and started to familiarize himself with it.
Stage three forging materials appeared in Ye Feng's hands before they tossed them into the forging materials one by one.
Intense flames were rising!
Those forging materials were all turned into liquid form, under Ye Feng's smithing, they were hammered into the appropriate shapes.
The members of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps had not left the City of Chaos yet, during this period of time, Ye Feng was going to make new weapons for them according to his understanding of them!
These ranged from stage three inferior-grade weapons to peak stage three weapons.
"Having stayed together with them for so long, this is my parting present, it will fulfill the promise I made earlier."
"Gallio and the rest had really inferior weapons, be it in terms of materials or forging skills!"
"Even if they return to Phoenix Nest City, the weapons will break eventually, if they use my new weapons, it will last them until Advanced Knight or even Bronze Knight without any damage..."
Ye Feng's forging skills were not for show.
Soon.
The forging was completed.
Ye Feng spent gold coins to send all these weapons to Gallio and the rest.
At the gate of the City of Chaos, when Gallio and the others were about to leave, they saw this box of weapons and were instantly moved to tears.
"Ye Feng, you are a friend of the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps for all eternity!"
Ollie pounded his chest and said towards Ye Feng who was far away.
"Ye Feng, if you have anything you need help with, I, Gallio, will do it with no hesitation!"
Gallio's eyes were also reddened.
In the past, there were people of high status who joined their mercenary group and explored the Land of Spirits for treasures, but none of them treated the group like their friends, unlike Ye Feng.
The Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps left.
Right now, Ye Feng was still staying in the Blacksmith Shop, forging weapons at the forging furnace, he was covered in sweat.
If Ye Feng was not a Bronze Knight now with superior physique, forging these stage three weapons with such intensity would cause his body to collapse.
"Huff!"
"I've completed the final peak stage three weapon!"
Ye Feng let out a breath of turbid air, he had a relaxed expression.
At this moment.
The Blacksmith Shop that had just been set up was very messy, peak stage three weapons were lying all over the floor, they were displayed in an unsightly manner.
Like trash on the street that nobody wanted.
"Thirty-five peak stage three weapons, these weapons will determine if I can gain popularity in the City of Chaos as a Blacksmith."
"After I gain some popularity, I will not need to worry that I can't sell my weapons, I will not need to worry about lacking gold coins or forging materials!"
Ye Feng placed the weapons in his box and brought it to the Auction House of the City of Chaos.
"You are a blacksmith?"
"A stage three Blacksmith?"
In the Auction House of the City of Chaos, the receptionist heard Ye Feng's words and showed an expression of disbelief and disdain.
After all, Ye Feng was too young.
Not to mention a stage three Blacksmith, even if he said he was a stage one Blacksmith, not many would believe him!
However, once Ye Feng took out his newly made peak stage three weapons, the entire Auction House went into an uproar.
The manager of the Auction House came out personally to apologize to Ye Feng, he was only a step away from kneeling down and kowtowing!
He was afraid that Ye Feng would leave the Auction House with these weapons! This was the first time he had seen any Blacksmith sell so many peak stage three weapons at once.
"I will arrange for your weapons to be placed in the most upcoming auction, I am sure you will be satisfied with the results!"
This auction caused all of the participating forces to feel immensely shocked.
Thirty-five stage three weapons.
And they were all peak stage three creations!
The City of Chaos did not lack stage three Blacksmiths, but it did not have stage three Master Blacksmiths that could create high quality weapons.
Evidently, Ye Feng was a stage three Master Blacksmith!
As a result, many people started to investigate the name Ye Feng, after this matter, his reputation soared in the City of Chaos.
Stage three Master Blacksmith, Ye Feng!

Ever since Ye Feng forged thirty-five peak stage three weapons at once and sold them in the Auction House, he became a famous stage three Master Blacksmith.
The number of Blacksmiths and the subordinates of the various forces in the city that came to visit him was simply uncountable, they had not stopped visiting him since.
"Master Ye Feng, are you around?"
"I am from the Tiger Head tribe, tomorrow is the birthday of our elder's son, we would like you to forge a stage three weapon as his birthday present."
"Master Ye Feng, are you around?" I am from the Heavenly Eagle tribe, our young master would like you to forge a stage three weapon, it has to be the best quality among the best!"
Outside the Blacksmith Shop, people from the various forces came to visit and stood outside, even though the Blacksmith Shop's door was shut, they showed a respectful attitude, they were not displeased!
Ye Feng had no response towards this, he opened the door and walked out before saying plainly: "Place the deposit and request on the table, that will do."
Ye Feng pointed at the small table in the Blacksmith Shop as he said that.
On the table, there were bags of gold coins and blueprints that stacked into a pile, there were nearly twenty of them at least.
After finishing his sentence, Ye Feng returned to the Blacksmith Shop.
In the Blacksmith Shop, a number of old Blacksmiths with white hair and beard stared at him impatiently.
Other than these orders, after Ye Feng's reputation soared, many stage three Blacksmiths in the City of Chaos had come to spar with Ye Feng in terms of forging skill.
Today, the first batch of them came!
Ye Feng did not bother with these people, he continued to forge the weapons on his own.
"Hmph, I want to see if this little brat is really a stage three Master Blacksmith, he better not have bought stage three weapons that others forged and came here to cheat everyone's money by pretending to be a stage three Master Blacksmith."
Once an old man said that, he became stunned.
He stared at Ye Feng's forging technique in a daze, disbelief was written all over his face.
"Oh my heaven, oh Great Deity of Forging, are you his illegitimate son??"
"The most superb forging techniques come from the dwarves, he seems to be using the dwarf race's methods, but why is his success rate so high? Don't tell me, his forging techniques are really this incredible?"
Not only him.
The other Blacksmiths had the same thoughts.
Ye Feng did not spar with them, he only made his own weapons alone, but these stage three Blacksmiths understood now.
They had lost!
They could not compare to Ye Feng's abilities at all!
Soon.
All of these Blacksmiths became lost for words, they opened the door of the Blacksmith Shop and left dejectedly with an expression of shock.
It gradually got darker at night.
After forging the final weapon, Ye Feng was about to shut the door of the Blacksmith Shop when he saw a tiny figure standing outside.
It looked like a dwarf.
Ye Feng looked at the figure while feeling a little strange internally.
Dwarves were publicly recognized as the ones with the greatest forging skills, why would they ask him to forge weapons for them?
Unless, he wants to spar?
The person outside the door stepped forward with a firm expression, he lowered his head at Ye Feng and said: "Teacher, please take me in as your disciple, my name is Claude."
Regarding the dwarf race, Ye Feng had a good impression of them, after all, he was the disciple that Nyzo had put in effort to teach.
"Aren't dwarves the most proficient ones at forging? Why are you coming here to learn from me?"
Ye Feng slowly asked his question.
Claude had a bitter expression as he said.
"My forging skills are poor, I come from the Divine Forging tribe, there is a tradition in our tribe, those without forging talents are all trash, they will be exiled from the tribe once they reach the age of maturity."
After Claude explained this, Ye Feng understood the reason.
But he was still someone else's disciple, he would not stay in this City of Chaos for long, how could he take in a disciple now?
Ye Feng rejected Claude and shut the Blacksmith Shop's door.
Cold winds blew outside the shop.
After Ye Feng cleaned up the shop, it was already late at night.
At this moment, he recalled that the deposit of those people who placed their orders was still on the small table outside.
Ye Feng pushed the door open but saw a small figure standing there, shivering in the cold but refusing to leave.
It had been four to five hours!
This dwarf Claude had not left, he had endured the cold winds for almost an entire night.
"Please take me in as your disciple!"
Claude was shivering intensely, his face was turning purple from the cold, once Ye Feng appeared, he knelt down excitedly, his eyes were full of desire towards forging.
This young dwarf wanted to become a Blacksmith!
Ye Feng looked at the deposit scattered on the table.
He realized that he needed an assistant after all.
Furthermore, Claude really resembled him, back then, he was also useless but Nyzo did not look down on him, that led to his achievements today.
At this moment, Ye Feng could actually see a shadow of himself in Claude.
"Come with me, I need an assistant to run errands for me. Tonight, you can clean up a storage room in the Blacksmith Shop and stay in it."
"From now on, you are going to be busy."
Like this, Ye Feng took in Claude as his follower.
After taking in Claude, Ye Feng started to teach him forging techniques! These were his understanding towards forging, they were incredibly precious knowledge.
However, Ye Feng soon found out how poor Claude's talent truly was!
"A dwarf with such horrible talent in blacksmithing..."
Ye Feng sighed.
Time continued to pass.
Seven to eight days had passed since Ye Feng took in Claude.
During this period of time, Claude worked very hard, he did everything that an assistant had to do.
On the ninth night.
Ye Feng recalled that there were still some scrap materials in the forging furnace that were not cleared yet, so he went there thinking of removing those scraps.
But he found that Claude was using those scrap materials to practice his forging techniques, there was a book in his hand as he patiently and carefully read.
It was his notebook!
Several days passed again, Ye Feng observed closely and found that Claude was putting in his full effort into his job in the Blacksmith Shop.
Be it running errands, rearranging materials, cleaning up, or even wiping the walls of the forging furnace, he did a great job!
This was an incredible experience for Ye Feng, he had more time to forge weapons and raise his skill level.
At the same time, other than the time he spent cleaning, Claude studied hard even in his dreams, when Ye Feng made weapons, Claude would watch at the side and write down notes.
"Heaven will never let down hard-working people!"
This was true for Ye Feng.
It would also hold true for Claude.
At this moment, seeing this sincere young dwarf with poor talent but strong determination to become a Blacksmith, for the first time, Ye Feng gained the desire to nurture him!

Chapter 30: Sinister Heavenly Snake Tribe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop did not even have an official name, but its reputation in the City of Chaos was getting bigger.
On this day, after Claude returned from delivering some goods, Ye Feng was at the forging furnace as usual, teaching him the difference between forging peak stage one and two weapons.
After the lesson, the manager of City of Chaos' Auction House knocked on the Blacksmith Shop's door, bringing over a contract with a respectful expression.
"Master Ye Feng, this is your personal contract, after signing it, the weapons that you make will be fully authorized to be sold by us."
"The Auction House will collect higher stage forging materials of the same value and send them to your Blacksmith Shop, in addition, we will ensure your safety in the City of Chaos..."
Ye Feng sighed the contract.
He had already earned a lot of gold coins, they could barely be stored in the warehouse anymore.
When the Auction House wanted to handle the sale of Ye Feng's weapons, he was moved and decided to sign this contract with them that had mutual benefits.
After the manager left, Ye Feng brought the boxes of gold coins and bought a new forging furnace for Claude's personal use.
On the way, the citizens of the City of Chaos showed expressions of admiration and idolization when they saw the Master Blacksmith Ye Feng.
The City of Chaos was connected to dangerous places like the Land of Spirits, it had many adventurers and mercenaries, they were definitely respectful towards a Master Blacksmith who had the ability to create high quality weapons.
A good weapon could raise one's combat strength in the wild, at crucial moments, it might save one's life!
After all, nobody would want their weapon to break in the middle of combat.
"Master Ye Feng, do you need help with such a huge forging furnace? If necessary, I can escort you back to the Blacksmith Shop."
Along the way, there were many helpful people that said such words but Ye Feng rejected them all, he rode on the horse carriage and went back to the Blacksmith Shop while dragging the forging furnace.
The truth was...
With his strength as a Bronze Knight, this mere forging furnace could be carried on Ye Feng's shoulder without problems.
But that was simply asking for attention.
Before the Blacksmith Shop.
Before he got closer, Ye Feng sensed something amiss, there were many twisted shadows moving around his Blacksmith Shop.
Ye Feng had seen these figures before.
The Heavenly Snake tribe in the City of Chaos!
Earlier, Ye Feng was obstructed by two Advanced Knight level Heavenly Snake tribesmen, they tried to rob him but were killed instead.
"You are Ye Feng?"
"The guy who killed the two warriors of our Heavenly Snake tribe and returned to the City of Chaos as a Master Blacksmith?"
"Come with us! Our Heavenly Snake tribe lacks a Blacksmith, you will atone for your sins of killing our Heavenly Snake tribesmen by making weapons for us."
From the Blacksmith Shop, a Heavenly Snake tribesman walked out, he had blue hair and wore armor, his eyes were eerie green and there were scales on his face. When he spoke, his expression was terrifying.
This was a peak Advanced Knight!
In addition, there were three other Advanced Knights before the Blacksmith Shop, they were all upper-tier, none of them were weak.
At this time, the four Heavenly Snake tribe Advanced Knights moved to encircle Ye Feng, they seemed to have the intention of taking him away like a criminal.
"It sounds like you are not inviting me to forge weapons, instead, you want to capture me and keep me in your Heavenly Snake tribe as your blacksmith slave."
"Am I right to say that?"
Ye Feng asked plainly.
Towards his question, the four Advanced Knights revealed sinister smiles, they had a mocking expression.
"Hehe!"
"Exactly so."
"But you are a Master Blacksmith after all, we will give you your three meals a day, other than sleeping, you will spend all your time making weapons to atone for your sins..."
While saying that, the four Heavenly Snake tribesmen attacked.
From the Blacksmith Shop, the tiny Claude ran out, he was like an enraged bull, he wore an iron pot on his head as he rammed into the four Advanced Knights.
"Don't touch my teacher!"
Claude screamed loudly.
He was clearly small and weak, but when seeing Ye Feng in danger, Claude still charged out and tried to attract the attention of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen so that Ye Feng could have a chance of escaping.
In Claude's perspective, he had never seen Ye Feng display any powerful strength, he was clearly not the match of these four Advanced Knights.
Claude was sent flying, his face was covered in blood.
"Where did this clown come from?"
"Hahaha!"
The four Heavenly Snake tribesmen laughed.
But Ye Feng was angry now.
"You came here to provoke me and even injured my staff? Who gave you the courage to do so! I have just signed a contract with the Auction House, they will be selling all of the weapons I make, if you are daring enough, you can go snatch their business instead."
Saying so, Ye Feng lifted his leg and did a roundhouse kick.
These four Advanced Knight Heavenly Snake tribesmen cried out in pain, they felt like a powerful force had rammed into them, they were sent flying for several meters.
In fact, the sound of their bones cracking could be heard!
The strength of a Bronze Knight was not for show.
If not for the fact that he was inside the City of Chaos and could not kill people in front of the Blacksmith Shop, these four Heavenly Snake tribe's Advanced Knights would likely die here today.
"Scram!"
Ye Feng shouted coldly.
Instantly, these Advanced Knights of the Heavenly Snake tribe endured their injuries and ran away with pale expressions.
They reported this to a higher-up of the Heavenly Snake tribe, an elder with a fierce expression whose body resembled a coiled up snake.
This Heavenly Snake tribe elder was furious.
"He is just a tiny Blacksmith, he dared to refuse our invitation and even used the Auction House to threaten us?"
The elder was enraged but he felt wary towards the Auction House, in the end, he gritted his teeth and did not dare to head to the Blacksmith Shop anymore.
But his hatred for Ye Feng grew deeper.
"He killed two of our tribesmen and even insulted the glory of our Heavenly Snake tribe, we cannot let him off like this."
The elder said that as he changed the topic.
"I heard that Ye Feng has an errand boy? Kidnap him and bring him here, let's see if Ye Feng gives in or not."
The Heavenly Snake tribe moved quickly.
Soon, several Advanced Knights brought their groups comprising upper-tier Intermediate Knights as they assaulted Claude on one of the routes to the Blacksmith Shop.
"We got him!"
"Let's bring this kid away."
A Heavenly Snake tribesman snickered and said.
In his hand, Claude struggled intensely.
But at this moment.
A figure appeared, it was the manager of the Auction House who had signed the contract with Ye Feng, the people from the Auction House were behind him, they were escorting a batch of materials and heading to the Blacksmith Shop, while coincidentally seeing this scene.
His expression was livid as he said a word.
"Kill!"
Behind him, the guards moved with lightning speed.
With the Heavenly Snake tribe's intention to capture Ye Feng as their slave, in the Land of Chaos, many tribes like the Vast Eagle tribe or the beast tribes with savage natures were also waiting to make a move.
They were all after Ye Feng, the reason was that he represented a vast amount of wealth!

Chapter 31: Divine Forging Tribe
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the matter of the Heavenly Snake tribe, from time to time, greedy beast tribes would appear near the Blacksmith Shop, wanting to charge in and take Ye Feng away.
Even though the Auction House killed batches and batches of enemies, Ye Feng's reputation as a Master Blacksmith was well known to everyone, too many people were after him!
Regarding all these, Ye Feng was not too concerned, he continued forging weapons, standing before the forging furnace and thinking of how he could make these weapons even stronger.
All these people that were after Ye Feng and wanted to kidnap him would never, in their wildest imagination, think that he was actually a Bronze Knight and also a Four Star Magician.
All these Advanced Knights that wanted to kidnap Ye Feng who possessed such strength were simply sending themselves to him and trying to court death!
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Fire Knight Sword, you have obtained 300 fire elemental points..."
The system notification rang.
Ye Feng slowly drew out the sword that was surrounded in magic flames from the fire magic and placed it at the side.
Peak stage three magic weapon could only give him 300 fire elemental points now.
This made Ye Feng sigh deeply.
But the good thing was, Ye Feng's Knight and Magician cultivation realms had both reached mid-tier stage after forging a large number of stage three weapons!
After reaching mid-tier stage, he could not progress anymore. Looking at the elements he got from making stage three weapons now, even if he made one thousand of them, Ye Feng could not reach upper-tier in either his Magician or Knight cultivation realms.
"It seems that I need to make stage four weapons! However, I don't have much confidence in making them now. If I cannot succeed, it will be blasphemy for my forging, I will also be wasting materials..."
At this time, the door of the Blacksmith Shop was rudely opened by someone.
Ye Feng frowned.
He wondered internally, did some fool come here to try and kidnap him away after knocking him out?
But soon, Ye Feng saw the figure of a dwarf.
"Hello, my name is Clayton, I come from the Divine Forging tribe, I am considered a genius disciple even in the dwarf race."
"I heard that you have been extremely famous in the City of Chaos recently, they call you an elite Master Blacksmith and you even signed a specialized contract with the Auction House!"
"Hehe!"
"I want to see how good your forging skills truly are!"
This dwarf was wearing leather armor and carrying a large iron hammer, his height was roughly near the knee of Ye Feng, but he had an arrogant expression and his head was raised high, as if he was looking down at Ye Feng from above.
These days, with the surge in Ye Feng's reputation, and because of the stage three weapons he forged, the weapon industry of the City of Chaos as well as the entire blacksmithing industry were greatly affected.
The Divine Forging tribe resided in the Land of Chaos.
They had businesses in the City of Chaos, but because of Ye Feng's actions, nobody wanted to buy the weapons of these esteemed Dwarven Blacksmiths!
In the eyes of these businesses, Ye Feng's weapons were far better than the ones made by the dwarves.
Clayton was also quite a popular person, when he brought out his forged weapons but nobody wanted to buy them, he became exceptionally furious.
He purposely bought Ye Feng's weapon and wanted to compare it with his, but it was obviously that Ye Feng's craftsmanship surpassed him by a mile!
"Claude?"
"Hehe!"
"You are actually here, to think that the dog-like trash that our Divine Forging tribe exiled has really become a dog that is guarding this shop now."
Clayton saw Claude who was at the corner, he immediately mocked him with a look of pride and superiority.
As members of the Divine Forging tribe, he was a genius while this Claude was a useless person, it was obvious that he knew about Claude!
After all, it was extremely rare for the dwarves to have a useless person with no talent in blacksmithing at all!
"I am my teacher's follower, I assist him with blacksmithing! I am not a dog guarding the shop like you claim."
Claude's face turned red as he stared at the other party in anger.
If Ye Feng was not present now, Claude who had just been insulted might charge forward and fight with Clayton.
"Come!"
"Compete with a noble and talented Dwarven Blacksmith like myself in forging abilities! This is beneficial to the both of us..."
"Of course, we need to make this more exciting, whoever loses will need to impart all of their forging techniques to the winner!"
Clayton said with a flickering gaze, he finally said his objective for coming here with a greedy tone.
He came here to compete with Ye Feng.
The reason was because he wanted Ye Feng's unique forging technique! He wanted to learn it but he needed a proper excuse, that was why he suggested having this competition.
"Compete and bet?"
"Hehe!"
"The winner can get the loser's forging techniques? You are too laughable, what use do I have for your forging techniques?"
Ye Feng was wondering what conditions this Dwarven Blacksmith that came so imposingly would state, but it was nothing impressive after all.
Why would he want Clayton's forging techniques? Does he want to increase his failure rate when forging weapons?
Hehe.
Ye Feng lost all his interest at this moment.
If he had the time, he might as well forge several peak stage three weapons instead, he could use them to exchange for some stage four forging materials!
"Claude, send off our guest!"
Ye Feng said slowly.
Next, he ignored the arrogant Dwarven Blacksmith and went back to his forging furnace, thinking of what weapon he should forge next.
"Please leave."
"Genius of the dwarf race."
Claude snorted and said.
So what if he was a genius of the Divine Forging tribe of the dwarf race! Compared to his teacher Ye Feng, he paled in comparison.
Even if he came here with the intention of competing using forging skills, it would depend on whether his teacher Ye Feng had the time for it!
"Claude, get away from me you trash."
"Don't let your trashy forging talent infect my noble self! Otherwise, you will not be able to repay me even in ten lifetimes."
Clayton saw that Claude was walking over and trying to pull him away from the Blacksmith Shop, he quickly jumped and scolded, pointing at Claude's face while humiliating him.
At this moment, Claude could not hold back anymore, he started to fight against Clayton.
However, they were just mere Elementary Knights, and they were lower-tier too! Their fight was simply amateurish and funny to watch.
Dwarves had incredible talent in forging from birth, but in terms of talent as a Magician or Knight, they were simply one of the worst.
They called themselves the favored race of the Great Deity of Forging, but other than forging, they had simply no value. The entire dwarf race was not strong either, they got famous using their forging techniques, using this, they gained the favor and protection of many large forces!

Chapter 32: Thundering Steel Rock
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Are you forcing me to send you off personally?"
"Clayton of the dwarf race!"
Within the Blacksmith Shop, before the Forging furnace, Ye Feng looked at Clayton who was still shamelessly refusing to leave. He had even started a fight with Claude, Ye Feng could not take it anymore, he spoke in a low tone.
At this moment, Clayton let go of his hand, he felt a sudden chill internally, he had a feeling of wanting to shiver when facing Ye Feng.
After all, he was only a lower-tier Elementary Knight, while Ye Feng was a Bronze Knight and also a Four Star Magician.
If Ye Feng really got unhappy with him, Clayton would instantly turn into ashes!
"Compete with me in forging skills!"
"I am a genius of the dwarf race, I have been imparted the greatest forging techniques in the entire Divine Forging tribe, if you win, it will definitely not disappoint you."
Clayton was still greedily trying to obtain Ye Feng's forging techniques, to achieve this goal, he even took out the best forging techniques of the Divine Forging tribe as bait to lure Ye Feng.
It was a pity because Ye Feng had no interest in it.
"You want to compete with me, but if I am not wrong, even though you are a stage three Blacksmith, when making stage three weapons, your failure rate is at least twenty percent right!"
Having a twenty percent failure rate when making stage three weapons at this age, he was a true genius when compared to most Blacksmiths everywhere in the world.
It was a pity that Ye Feng was a super genius who could turn twenty star cloud rocks into thirty Star Meteorite Swords.
Furthermore, his success rate at making peak stage three weapons was a hundred percent.
"I have thundering steel rock!"
"I will use this thing as the wager, will you spar with me?"
Clayton seemed to have felt some humiliation, he took out a fist sized ore that sparked with blue lightning and shouted loudly.
Now, Ye Feng gained some interest.
"Alright!"
Thundering steel rock was a superior-grade stage four material, it even contained lightning elements, it was quite a rare and precious stage four forging material.
This material was brought right to his face, Ye Feng had no reason to reject it.
Furthermore, this Dwarven Blacksmith was simply too arrogant, right in Ye Feng's own shop, he dared to hit the assistant Claude, there was a need to teach him a lesson!
"Let's forge a stage two weapon and see whose weapon is stronger to determine the winner."
"How's that?"
Clayton's eyes flickered with intense light as he took out two boxes of forging materials from his own spatial bag.
This was something that he had prepared earlier, in order to obtain Ye Feng's forging techniques, he spared no expense!
These two boxes of forging materials were meant to refine a peak stage two Knight's Sword, the materials looked identical but one had superior quality while the other was inferior-grade.
This was an assurance for him!
But Clayton did not know that these petty tricks could not deceive Ye Feng at all.
Ye Feng knew about all his tricks, he even showed some pity in his eyes.
So what if the forging materials were of lower quality?
He was a Blacksmith that had reached the peak of stage three, he was not far from stage four already.
Even with inferior forging materials, he could still forge the strongest Knight's Longsword!
"Then let us begin!"
"Hahaha!"
Clayton could not help but laugh, he took the better box of forging materials and ran to his forging materials, beginning his forging.
Before the forging materials, he became very serious, he took the huge iron hammer in his hand and repeatedly struck the forging materials within the forging furnace.
The truth was...
Even though Clayton came here for this bet to try and win Ye Feng's forging technique, his own forging skills were also considered top tier among other Blacksmiths.
He was a genius compared to the average Blacksmith, but against Ye Feng, he simply paled in comparison!
"Since he started..."
"I shall begin too!"
"Stage two weapon, Knight's Longsword, it has been so long since I forged one!"
Ye Feng sighed before retrieving his hammer, after tossing the materials into the forging furnace, he started to strike them repeatedly.
Bam bam bam!
At once, there was only the sound of hammering in the entire Blacksmith Shop.
Not long after.
Clayton shouted loudly.
"I am done!"
Next, he pulled out a Knight's Longsword from the forging furnace and poured the form fixing potion on top of it.
At that instant.
A fierce and imposing Knight's Longsword that was shining in cold light appeared before Clayton with the size of twice his height.
Clayton raised it up high, feeling extremely happy.
He was definitely going to win!
This time, he had performed better than normal, he made a sword that was high quality even among peak stage two weapons, this result was far better than his average creation.
Clayton was extremely happy, the greed in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"Ye Feng, it is too late to regret now!"
Clayton laughed smugly.
At this time.
Ye Feng had already removed all the impurities of the inferior quality ores, after that, he started to forge the Knight's Longsword.
Not long after.
A similar Knight's Longsword appeared in Ye Feng's hands, this Knight's Longsword was also peak stage two, but it was much shorter than Clayton's.
After all, he had used inferior quality ore, there were a lot of impurities in them, after removing those, and after the hammering session, the Knight's Longsword was condensed to its limit, in exchange for being extremely sturdy, the size was much smaller.
"Hahaha!"
"Such a short Knight's Longsword?"
Clayton laughed, he was getting increasingly smug, he regained his arrogant attitude from earlier, he raised his head and said towards Ye Feng.
"Write down your forging techniques!"
"It is already clear who won."
"You don't have to embarrass yourself further."
Clayton had an arrogant and overbearing look.
At this moment, Ye Feng could not take much more of this, he waved his sword and clashed with the other weapon.
Crack.
Clayton's weapon broke into two!
"Claude, put the thundering steel rock into the storage room for stage four forging materials! After that, send our guest out!"
Ye Feng said plainly.
After that, he tossed this peak stage two Knight's Longsword on the ground, the sword immediately stabbed into the ground like it was tofu, only a small portion of the blade could be seen.
It had unparalleled sharpness!
Undeniably...
Clayton lost!
"I lost?"
"Impossible, I made so many preparations, how could I lose! Another match, let's have another match, we are both stage three Blacksmiths, let's compete by making stage three weapons..."
Clayton screamed loudly.
In fact, he jumped towards the thundering steel rock and did not show any intention of keeping his promise and leaving peacefully.
Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned deeply.
"Let's have another match, otherwise, I will not give you the thundering steel rock! If I keep it inside my spatial bag, you'll not be able to get it..."
