Chapter 33: Clayton's Humiliation and Rage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A stage three Blacksmith who could make a superior-grade stage three weapon at best, trying to compete against Ye Feng who was already close to being called a quasi-stage four Blacksmith in making stage three weapons?

Ye Feng did not know what to say.

If he had to say something.

Ye Feng would say: Is this guy crazy! Trying to seek humiliation time and again, why can he not tell what reality is?

"Okay!"

"I won't bully you."

"You might not be qualified to make peak stage three weapons, your failure rate for stage three superior-grade weapons is high too, then let's make inferior-grade or middle-grade stage three weapons."

"Coincidentally, I have no lack of stage three forging materials here! If you have any secret forging techniques of the dwarves, or special weapon designs, you can try to make it..."

Ye Feng said slowly.

Next, he sat down before his forging furnace, waiting for Clayton to complete his weapon forging.

In order to prevent Clayton from denying the results again, no matter what grade of stage three weapon that Clayton made, Ye Feng would make the same grade weapon as him!

"I will tolerate Clayton's behavior once for the sake of this thundering steel rock."

Ye Feng waited patiently.

In the Blacksmith Shop, the fire of the forging furnace was burning intensely.

"I must win!"

"For the glory of the Dwarven Blacksmiths, oh Great Deity of Forging, please bless your favored race of the Marfa Continent."

Soon.

Clayton completed his forging.

Formations had already been carved on the stage three sword, they flowed along with its special trait, this stage three superior-grade heavy sword was completed!

"This heavy sword has no sharpness but I carved an Anti-shock Formation, if Ye Feng swings his sword and triggers the anti-shock effect, this heavy sword's special trait will shatter the sword in his hand."

"To make this sword, I used the dragon bone powder that my grandpa gave me to raise the forging success rate!"

"He has definitely lost."

Clayton laughed maniacally.

Right now, he placed the heavy sword before Ye Feng who looked at him deeply before starting his forging.

However, Clayton felt a strange sensation from Ye Feng's gaze.

"He is pitying me?"

"Hehe!"

"It seems that he thinks I have given up the competition, but this is beneficial to me as well, he will never realize that I had carved the Anti-shock Formation to claim victory."

Clayton could not wait to see Ye Feng's look of disbelief and shock after losing this match.

Not long after.

Ye Feng completed his work too.

In his hand, there was an identical heavy sword!

"What?"

Clayton was extremely furious, he shouted and asked.

"Ye Feng, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to humiliate me? You want to prove that the weapon you are forging is superior to mine?"

This heavy sword had no sharpness!

Even if an Advanced Knight held the heavy sword, they could not display any sharp properties! Was this going to end in a draw?

At this moment, Ye Feng spoke.

"There is nothing to prove, the weapon I forged is naturally superior to yours..."

Bam!

The two swords clashed together.

The two heavy sword's Anti-shock Formation triggered at once, causing a huge force to erupt on both sides.

Clayton's heavy sword shattered into countless pieces!

"You made more than one Anti-shock Formation?"

Clayton was flabbergasted.

Ye Feng only had one thing to say in response.

"You lost! Hand over the thundering steel rock!"

Undeniably, Ye Feng had defeated Clayton again, he was simply seeking humiliation if he wanted to defeat Ye Feng and learn the forging techniques.

"You! You!"

Clayton's embarrassment turned into rage, he stared at Ye Feng fiercely before throwing the thundering steel rock down and leaving in anger.

When he left, he did not forget to threaten Ye Feng as he said in a cold tone.

"Having offended me, you have offended the entire Divine Forging tribe, and even the entire dwarf race! Our dwarf race is the most united, I will make sure you are unable to continue in this blacksmithing industry in the future."

"I wanted your forging techniques, a noble and great dwarf wanted your forging techniques, this is your honor, you should have knelt down and handed them to me with great pleasure!"

While screaming in mad rage, Clayton also looked towards Claude and scolded before he turned and left.

"You talentless wild dog that no tribe wants!"

"Even if you stay with Ye Feng, you will never become a proper blacksmith! You useless trash that even the Great Deity of Forging hates..."

Claude's body was shaking, he felt humiliated and his anger reached a boiling point.

However, he was not too influenced by Clayton, his desire towards forging was still firm and unwavering.

"With teacher's guidance, I will become a Blacksmith, I will be a Blacksmith that far surpasses you, Clayton!"

"I definitely will!"

Claude said with a determined expression.

Seeing this, Ye Feng consoled Claude but found that he needed no consolation, as long as Ye Feng taught him some forging experiences, he would forget all of those earlier negative emotions.

Soon, Ye Feng got invested into forging again.

Beside him, Claude was cleaning the forging furnace and the scraps in the Blacksmith Shop, he did not look away at all as he absorbed the details of Ye Feng's forging session like a sponge.

Several hours passed, Ye Feng's condition gradually recovered, he placed the newly forged stage three weapons into the box and packed them up.

Next, Ye Feng pondered for a while and looked towards the thundering steel rock that Clayton left in the Blacksmith Shop, a look of ambition emerged in his eyes.

Even though Ye Feng had collected quite some stage four materials, the quantity in the storage was not high.

Among them, he only had barely one portion that could be used to forge a stage four weapon!

The thundering steel rock was the main component!

Stage three weapons needed the carving of formations! Stage four weapons needed the blacksmith to learn how to fuse the special traits of various materials.

The difficulty was much higher.

In the Land of Chaos, there were a significant number of stage three Blacksmiths! But for stage four Blacksmiths, other than those in the dwarf tribes, they were extremely rare in the world.

"Claude?"

Ye Feng called.

Claude quickly ran towards him and answered.

"Teacher, you called me?"

Ye Feng nodded and said.

"Go!"

"Bring out all of the stage four materials in the storage!"

Claude's pupils expanded rapidly.

At this moment, his breathing became rough too.

He had clearly realized that his teacher had reached the limit of forging stage three weapons, he was starting to attempt the forging of stage four weapons!

If he succeeded in this attempt, he would become a stage four Blacksmith.

Chapter 34: Thundering Greatsword

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The forging of stage four weapons was extremely tedious in steps, the required forging materials were also split into the main and supplementary components.

The special traits of these two components needed to be handled properly, a clash could not occur, this required the Blacksmith to manage their time well when fusing the materials together!

Furthermore, this was Ye Feng's first attempt at forging a stage four weapon, he needed to be extra careful.

In the forging furnace, the thundering steel rock's special trait and material composition had already been separated successfully! A lump of electrical energy sank to the bottom of the forging furnace, even the furnace's fire was forced to divert elsewhere by this energy.

"The special trait of the thundering steel rock has been extracted! Next, I will need to do so for the other supplementary stage four materials!"

"If everything goes smoothly, I will succeed in this attempt."

Ye Feng could not conceal the excitement in his eyes, he was also feeling jittery internally.

As pieces of stage four supplementary materials were tossed in, soon, they also fused with each other as the hammering continued, making all of these ores gather into one whole entity.

Time passed slowly.

Ye Feng was covered in sweat, an entire day had passed, it was late into the night now. Inside the forging furnace, there were five to six of various types of forging materials!

These materials were all forged into the shape of a greatsword by Ye Feng, it was huge and extremely sharp.

The sword had taken form, only the carving of the Lightning Formation and the fusion of special traits remained, he needed to fuse the special traits of five to six materials into this greatsword without any conflict. Only then would the stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword, be completed!

In the Blacksmith Shop, hammering sounds continued to be heard.

A long time passed.

Suddenly, there was a loud thundering sound in the forging furnace.

Ye Feng's hammer dropped to the ground, he looked at the forging furnace excitedly, seeing that the flames within had been completely extinguished.

A greatsword covered in lightning threads was motionless within the forging furnace, waves of lightning energy subconsciously shot towards the walls of the furnace.

"Stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword, has been forged!"

Ye Feng was extremely happy.

At this moment, he was a genuine stage four Blacksmith!

Right at this time, the clear voice of the World Creator System also resounded in Ye Feng's mind, as waves of elemental energy surged in his body.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four inferior-grade weapon, Thundering Greatsword, you have obtained 4000 lightning elemental points..."

The stage four weapon was forged successfully!

Ye Feng became a stage four Blacksmith now! Compared to his identity as a stage three Blacksmith, his personal value had risen by over ten times.

Originally, he was only revered by Advanced Knights and the weapon industry, now, even Bronze Knights had to be respectful towards him..."

"The power of my lightning elemental magic has risen by a lot too! Because I am already a mid-tier Bronze Knight, this Thundering Greatsword is unable to let me reach upper-tier straight away..."

Ye Feng tossed out a lightning ball and looked at the cracked ground as he started to collate his gains from making the Thundering Greatsword.

After a day and night, expending a lot of effort, he had finally achieved his target and forged it successfully! In no time, he would stabilize his status as a stage four Blacksmith, his Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician statuses would also rise up to the peak of stage four because of his forging.

"Claude, get me some water."

Ye Feng called out but did not see any signs of Claude being around, he frowned immediately, sensing that something was wrong.

During this period of a day and night, Claude did not appear.

Ye Feng thought that Claude was delayed because he went to send goods to the Auction House! But evidently, he would not take an entire day and night to do that.

Ye Feng kept the Thundering Greatsword away and went out to find Claude, he even made a trip to the Auction House and asked the manager.

"Claude?"

"He went back after bringing us the goods yesterday!"

The manager replied in confusion.

Immediately, Ye Feng became anxious.

He had really treated Claude as his own disciple!

With his disciple going missing, how could the master Ye Feng not be anxious?

After looking around the City of Chaos, he did not find Claude anywhere, the people from the Auction House also searched for his whereabouts but they all had no results.

Claude had gone missing!

"Where did he go?"

Ye Feng searched for three hours but did not find Claude, he frowned and went back to the Blacksmith Shop, preparing some gold coins to ask for the help of specialized personnels.

However, once he returned to the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng's gaze was fixed, he stared at the table coldly, there was a piece of paper that was fixed in place by a dagger.

"Claude is in the hands of my Heavenly Snake tribe, if you want him intact, come and apologize to us personally!"

The paper said that it was from the Heavenly Snake tribe.

Ye Feng clenched this paper in his hands, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and fury, he left the Blacksmith Shop and went straight for the Heavenly Snake tribe's location in the City of Chaos.

"After kidnapping Claude once and getting warned by the Auction House, you still dare to provoke me?"

"You are simply courting death."

The Heavenly Snake tribe was one of the many races living in the City of Chaos, Ye Feng knew about their territory in this city.

Muse's Casino.

Two Heavenly Snake tribesmen of Advanced Knight level guarded the doors, they wanted to block Ye Feng who was barging in as they looked at him coldly and said.

"We do not welcome you, Ye Feng!"

At the next moment.

The two Advanced Knights were like kites with their strings cut, they were sent flying by Ye Feng's kick.

"Two Advanced Knights to guard the door, it seems that this Muse's Casino is the main source of income for your Heavenly Snake tribe's businesses in the City of Chaos."

Ye Feng smiled coldly.

Next, he fought his way in.

Heavenly Snake tribesmen continued to charge at him and wanted to subdue Ye Feng, but no matter how many Advanced Knights came, they were easily sent flying by his kick.

"Who is this?"

"Isn't this the stage three Master Blacksmith, Ye Feng?! I've only heard of his amazing forging abilities, I didn't know he was this strong."

All of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen were shaking in fear.

The customers in Muse's Casino were also running away like they were escaping from danger.

Soon, because of Ye Feng's arrogant entry that caused the casino to become chaotic, a Heavenly Snake tribe elder came soon after.

This elder was the person in charge of the Heavenly Snake tribe in the City of Chaos, the bronze level Muse!

"Ye Feng!"

"Are you trying to bully our Heavenly Snake tribe's for being too kind?"

Muse shouted angrily, he took a Knight's Heavy Sword and charged towards Ye Feng, his power as a lower-tier Bronze Knight was displayed at full force.

"Your Heavenly Snake tribe is not kind at all!"

Ye Feng snickered coldly, he did not even use the Thundering Greatsword, he directly punched towards the attacking Muse, sending him flying.

The table and chairs shattered into a pile.

Muse fell to the ground pathetically and coughed out blood, he had actually gotten heavily injured after one attack by Ye Feng, but he was still barely alive.

Chapter 35: Vast Eagle Tribe?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the casino, the Heavenly Snake tribesmen were dumbfounded, their strongest member in the City of Chaos, the Bronze Knight Muse, had actually been defeated by Ye Feng in one move.

How strong was this Ye Feng?

In Marfa Continent, the dwarf race produced the most Blacksmiths, Master Blacksmiths, and higher-tier Blacksmiths.

Other than forging talent, the dwarves had terrible talent in everything else, be it Knight or Magician, they were all trash in these aspects.

Thus, the dwarf race was not strong.

Because of this impression that the Dwarven Blacksmiths created, all Blacksmiths were thought of as weak in the eyes of everyone in Marfa Continent.

Ye Feng had such overbearing strength, he was simply an anomaly among the Blacksmiths!

"How can he be this strong!"

"If he gives me another punch, I might lose my life."

"I cannot fight against him!"

"I will die if we continue."

"Run!"

Muse's expression was full of fear, he could not bother to wipe the blood on his body, his snake body retreated slowly, not daring to attack Ye Feng again.

But Ye Feng did not let him off, he charged up and said in a cold voice.

"Where is Claude!"

"Didn't you threaten me to come here and seek your forgiveness?"

Ye Feng shouted in anger.

Saying so, he grabbed onto Muse's head and slammed this Bronze Knight's head on the concrete ground of the casino continuously.

Instantly, there were dull sounds in the casino as Muse's head bled from the repeated impact, he was in a pathetic state.

"Who is Claude?"

Muse screamed pitifully and struggled intensely, but he could not get away from Ye Feng's pincer-like hand.

Soon, a Heavenly Snake tribesman shouted out and answered Muse.

"Last time, the useless dwarf that we kidnapped is called Claude! However, after the Auction House warned us, we did not make another move."

After listening to the explanation, Muse understood who Claude was.

This person had gone missing from Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop today, he had even heard of the news that Ye Feng was looking for him throughout the city!

"Who took the initiative to kidnap Claude, come out now and apologize to Sir Ye Feng! Otherwise, if I find out who it is, I will rip your head off..."

Muse shouted towards all the Heavenly Snake tribesmen in the casino.

He had no choice!

His own head was currently held by Ye Feng! If he did not give Ye Feng an answer, with his mid-tier Bronze Knight strength, Ye Feng could easily kill Muse.

The Heavenly Snake tribesmen looked at each other, they were all confused!

Without Muse's orders, who would dare to take the initiative to provoke a Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng!

Last time, after fighting against the Auction House's guards, a Bronze Knight from the Auction House had come personally to warn them.

"Master Ye Feng, we don't have him, we did not do anything! If our Heavenly Snake tribe did this, we will definitely admit it."

Ye Feng's head was pressed on the ground, he was still bleeding and in a pathetic state, he cried out in pain.

What was going on today!

He was peacefully staying in the casino but someone fought their way in and accused him of a kidnap that he could not prove otherwise, he even got beaten up for no reason.

"Didn't your Heavenly Snake tribe leave this in my Blacksmith Shop?"

Ye Feng also sensed something amiss, he took out that piece of paper and tossed it to Muse.

The anger and sadness in Muse's eyes intensified.

"It is not us."

"Even if you want to frame us, you need to find a better excuse! Everyone knows that us Heavenly Snake tribesmen in the City of Chaos are illiterate..."

Not long after.

Ye Feng walked out of Muse's Casino and frowned, he finally realized that things were not so simple after all!

Someone was trying to manipulate him to fight against the Heavenly Snake tribe.

"I do not have many enemies in this City of Chaos, other than the Heavenly Snake tribe who are strong enough to do this, there can only be... Clayton?"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

Even though Clayton was an Elementary Knight, he hailed from the Divine Forging tribe, he was also a stage three Blacksmith, he had sufficient influence.

Ye Feng did not lack gold coins.

He immediately brought boxes of gold coins to the Bounty Hunters in the City of Chaos, as well as inviting the Auction House, to help and investigate who the culprit was!

"Clayton framed the Heavenly Snake tribe, he likely wants to stir the animosity between us so that I will get killed."

"After all, I had never displayed any great strength as either a Knight or Magician before him!"

After Ye Feng handed out the request, the Bounty Hunters and Auction House started investigating the matter.

After leaving the Auction House, before any results came out, Ye Feng was already targeted by two fierce Vast Eagle tribesmen who looked like eagles with wings on their backs.

In the small alley, two Vast Eagle tribesmen blocked Ye Feng's path from the front and back, but they did not speak.

"What do you want?"

"Are you trying to rob me?!"

Anger surfaced in Ye Feng's eyes, he clenched his fists and looked towards one Vast Eagle tribesman, wanting to work out his muscles.

In the City of Chaos, there were no laws or rules, in this secluded place, even if he was robbed, he had no choice but to accept his fate!

But if they wanted to rob him, these two Vast Eagle tribesmen had found the wrong target.

Two Intermediate Knights wanting to rob a Bronze Knight, they were simply trying to dig their own grave!

"Hehe!"

"Master Ye Feng, our elder would like to invite you to our Vast Eagle tribe as a guest!"

The two Vast Eagle tribesmen laughed and said.

However there was no respect in their eyes, only endless ruthlessness! It was as if they would break his legs and drag him to the Vast Eagle tribe's location if Ye Feng refused their invitation.

"If I refuse to go, what will you do?"

Ye Feng snickered coldly.

He knew about the Vast Eagle tribe, because some time ago, the Heavenly Snake tribe wanted to turn a Master Blacksmith like himself into their personal weapon making slave.

Near his Blacksmith Shop, many tribes came after him, among them was the Vast Eagle tribe, it seemed like they had not given up yet!

"You will come with us."

One of the Vast Eagle tribesmen laughed sinisterly.

Saying so, he took out something from his pocket, it was a small notebook covered in mud, there were lots of notes written in it.

Immediately, Ye Feng's gaze was locked onto the book, he did not look away.

Ye Feng was extremely familiar with it!

This was Claude's notebook.

Claude had terrible talent, each time he imparted some forging experiences to him, Claude would write it down in the book and study it at night.

"So Claude is in your hands!"

"It seems that the ones sowing discord and trying to get me to fight against the Heavenly Snake tribe is also the Vast Eagle tribe."

"Good, excellent! Hehe."

Ye Feng laughed, but his voice was exceptionally cold.

Chapter 36: Truth Revealed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In this City of Chaos, Ye Feng did not attack the two Vast Eagle tribesmen, he went out of the city with them and headed towards the location of the Vast Eagle tribe.

The Vast Eagle tribe had no base in the City of Chaos, even though they had it in the past, the Heavenly Snake tribe had uprooted all their bases.

This was not only because the Vast Eagle tribe and the Heavenly Snake tribe were mortal enemies, it was also because the Vast Eagle tribe wanted to build a casino in the City of Chaos, this had a huge conflict with the interests and profits of Muse's Casino.

After that, the Vast Eagle tribe fought against the Heavenly Snake tribe multiple times in the City of Chaos, but they did not get a chance to open their own casino!

Soon, after riding in the horse carriage for three hours of journey.

Ye Feng finally reached the location of the Vast Eagle tribe, this was a valley, inside, there were various houses with simple designs.

Over here, each of the Vast Eagle tribesmen had fierce expressions as they looked towards Ye Feng greedily, he felt very uncomfortable in this place.

Over here, Ye Feng felt like he was a plump piece of meat that all the Vast Eagle tribesmen wanted to take a bite of.

"Hehe!"

"Ye Feng, you did not expect that we will meet again so soon at this place and under such circumstances, did you?"

A wave of cold laughter could be heard.

Ye Feng looked around but did not see anyone visible, he only felt that the voice was quite familiar.

This made the voice annoyed and irritated.

"Ye Feng, I'm over here!"

"Lower your head!"

"Look here!"

The voice was filled with anger and shame.

At this moment, Ye Feng finally recalled that this was Clayton's voice, as expected, he lowered his head and saw a tiny dwarf that was the height of his knee.

It was Clayton!

From the house at the side, an elderly Vast Eagle tribe elder who looked quite energetic walked out. He was a Bronze Knight level existence.

Furthermore, he was the same as Ye Feng, they were both mid-tier Bronze Knights.

"Hello, Master Ye Feng."

"We invited you several times already but you refused to visit our Vast Eagle tribe. This time, since Clayton is willing to pay the remuneration for weapon forging, we invited you here."

"I am the elder of the Vast Eagle tribe, Snell!"

As he spoke, Snell's gaze towards Ye Feng became increasingly wicked, his expression also turned terrifying and sinister.

"I thought that by sowing discord between you and the Heavenly Snake tribe, it would cause that old snake Muse to die in the hands of either the Auction House or you!"

"But to think that you did not kill a single Heavenly Snake tribesman! And that old fool Muse did not take revenge either, this is truly disappointing."

"Master Ye Feng, how can you be so disappointing! I am still waiting for you to weaken the strength of the Heavenly Snake tribe even further! In the end, this is all you achieved..."

Saying so, this Vast Eagle tribe elder, Snell, started to curse and scold, he was evidently not satisfied with the result of Ye Feng and the Heavenly Snake tribe's conflict.

Standing beside Snell, Clayton had a smug expression, if he was not so short, he might be standing proudly and looking down on Ye Feng in arrogance now.

At this point, the truth was finally revealed!

Clayton, as a genius Blacksmith of the Divine Forging tribe, was a stage three Blacksmith at this young age! He approached the Vast Eagle tribe and promised them some benefits, the request was for them to capture Claude.

The Vast Eagle tribe elder also wanted to use this chance to weaken the Heavenly Snake tribe's base in the city, thus, he sent his men to leave that paper behind and frame the Heavenly Snake tribe!

He wanted Ye Feng and the Heavenly Snake tribe to fight, it would be best if the Bronze Knight Muse from the Heavenly Snake tribe died!

Even if Ye Feng was too weak, in his rage, he would find his friends or the Auction House using his status as a Master Blacksmith.

In order to maintain their authority, the Auction House would also send a Bronze Knight to attack the Heavenly Snake tribe for Ye Feng and retrieve Claude.

He had great plans, it was a pity that they did not know Ye Feng was such a powerful Bronze Knight himself!

In fact, he was so rational and quickly sensed that something was wrong.

"Where is Claude!"

"I want to see Claude!"

Ye Feng's expression was exceptionally cold, he did not even look at Clayton or this Vast Eagle tribe elder, he only wanted to bring Claude back.

In the Vast Eagle tribe, other than the mid-tier Bronze Knight Snell, there were also three lower-tier Bronze Knights, they were all staring at Ye Feng in anticipation.

Such a huge force was simply unbeatable.

"Elder Snell, bring Claude here!"

"I am still waiting to exchange him for Ye Feng's forging techniques! Hehe, that useless notebook wrote a bunch of rubbish."

"It is full of stage one or two weapon forging knowledge, well, this is the limit of what Claude can learn after all, hehe."

Clayton said in disdain and mockery.

Under the escort of two Vast Eagle tribesmen, Claude's tiny figure could be seen. He was covered in injuries and blood, he had already fainted.

"Why did you hit him?"

"Don't you know that Claude is my, Ye Feng's, disciple and assistant? Are you trying to make an enemy out of me!"

Looking at Claude who was in a pitiful state, Ye Feng's heart burned with rage.

Regarding this.

Vast Eagle tribe elder Snell laughed coldly.

"You failed in the mission to kill the Heavenly Snake tribe elder Muse, this is the price to pay!"

At this moment, Ye Feng finally erupted in rage.

"Go to hell with your bullshit!!"

Ye Feng attacked.

Bam!

Stage three magic, explosive fireball, shot out fiercely.

Immediately, the two Advanced Knight level Vast Eagle tribesmen who brought Claude out were turned to ashes.

Vast Eagle tribe elder Snell flew into a rage, he jumped and screamed.

"What are you trying to do?"

"This is the territory of my Vast Eagle tribe! We have four Bronze Knights here, you dare to attack us, are you sick of living?"

Two Advanced Knights were killed on the spot, Snell immediately charged towards Ye Feng, along with the three lower-tier Bronze Knights of the Vast Eagle tribe.

Instantly, battle erupted.

Ye Feng had to face one mid-tier Bronze Knight and three lower-tier Bronze Knights, the pressure was huge!

"So what if I attacked?"

"I want to chop off your heads!"

At this moment, Ye Feng shouted in anger, he held the Thundering Greatsword and injected lightning elemental magic into the sword, swinging it with the strength of a Bronze Knight.

At this moment, the power of a Four Star Magician and a Bronze Knight combined was unleashed by Ye Feng.

"Merely a peak stage three weapon, who are you trying to bluff! We have a total of four Bronze Knights on our side!"

Snell roared angrily, his wings fluttered and he flew into the sky as his palms that could break even steel slashed at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was famous as a stage three Master Blacksmith, there was no way he could possess a stage four weapon!

As a mid-tier Bronze Knight of the Vast Eagle tribe, Snell could definitely shatter a peak stage three greatsword, it would only cause him some disturbance.

Chapter 37: Claude's Growth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Snell had shattered many stage three weapons using his power as a mid-tier Bronze Knight and this pair of special eagle claws.

However, he could not imagine that Ye Feng was now a stage four Blacksmith and held the stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword!

Bam!

Lightning flashed.

Slashed by the Thundering Greatsword, blood splattered.

Vast Eagle tribe elder Snell let out a pitiful cry as he fell from the sky, his claws were completely cut by Ye Feng's Thundering Greatsword on the spot!

Furthermore, the terrifying power of lightning spread towards his body, turning it into a charred corpse immediately.

"You, you actually killed our Elder Snell!"

The three Bronze Knights were quickly enraged, they flew to the sky and dived down towards Ye Feng.

On the other hand, Clayton had an expression of fear and shock.

"Oh Great Deity of Forging."

"Are my eyes deceiving me, that is actually a stage four weapon! Is Ye Feng able to forge stage four weapons now?"

"If he was not the Blacksmith who made it, how would he get a stage four weapon?"

Clayton sensed that the situation was turning bad, while the Vast Eagle tribe was still enraged and fighting against Ye Feng now, he quickly turned and ran while nobody noticed him.

He had provided all of Ye Feng's information! But he did not know that Ye Feng possessed a stage four weapon.

The Vast Eagle tribe would definitely put the blame of Elder Snell's death on him, he did not want to be the Blacksmith slave of the Vast Eagle tribe!

Furthermore, even if the Vast Eagle tribe let him off, Ye Feng would definitely slaughter him.

Clayton ran away in fear, he soon vanished from the place!

As for Ye Feng, facing the assault of three Bronze Knights, he did not continue fighting. He grabbed Claude and headed back to the City of Chaos.

He moved rapidly along the way.

After getting away from the Vast Eagle tribesmen, Ye Feng returned to the City of Chaos and went back to his Blacksmith Shop.

The Bounty Hunters and the Auction House had gone to him several times, handing the results of their investigation to Ye Feng.

It was as he expected!

Clayton worked with the Vast Eagle tribe to target him.

Right now, with the death of the Vast Eagle tribe elder, the tribe that Snell was in went into chaos, the three Bronze Knights were fighting over the elder position by attacking each other.

A week passed, Claude finally healed from his injuries.

"Teacher, I am sorry, I almost caused you to be enslaved by the evil Vast Eagle tribe."

"I am already very grateful that you took in a useless dwarf like me! But I should not be the cause of your danger."

Claude said with a look of guilt.

But Ye Feng did not let him finish his words, he took a piece of ore that had formation carvings from the table and asked in slight surprise: "Claude, did you carve this?"

Claude nodded.

During this period of time, even though he was recuperating, Claude did not stop his studying of forging skills, since he could not forge weapons now, he practiced carving formations.

The ore with carved formations that Ye Feng was holding was one of his recent results, but it was uncertain if this would be successful if carved on actual weapons.

"You have already completed the formation! Carving of formations is the biggest hurdle for a stage two Blacksmith to become a stage three Blacksmith!"

"You actually passed it."

"Once you learn proper forging techniques, I am sure that your growth in forging stage one, two, or even stage three weapons would be rapid."

Ye Feng had a look of approval.

Regarding this, Claude also had an excited expression.

"Teacher, are you serious?"

"The formation I carved has no problems, even on an incomplete stage three weapon, it can succeed?"

Claude had never been so happy before, his eyes shone with radiance that Ye Feng had never seen before.

Ye Feng nodded heavily at his words.

"Indeed."

"You are already able to carve formations."

"Once you get control over the forging techniques, you will grow rapidly, stepping into stage three from the peak of stage two would not be a problem for you."

Saying so, Ye Feng paused for a moment before continuing.

"Your injuries are almost fully healed now. Come with me, I have been too busy these days with your absence!"

"Coincidentally, the Auction House has just accidentally sent us some ordinary stage one and two ores, you can use them to practice!"

"Failing is fine too, the Auction House has sent a large quantity of stage one and two ores by mistake, you can afford to fail many times."

The forging techniques for stage one and two weapons were not too different! The difference was merely in terms of varying materials.

Normally speaking.

For a stage one Blacksmith, after making peak stage one weapons for a few years, they would be able to succeed in making stage two weapons!

The true hurdle was the carving of formation for stage three Blacksmiths, and the fusion of special traits and the cooperation of high grade forging materials for stage four Blacksmiths. After all, the arrangement of special traits without causing any conflict would result in many complex and tedious steps.

Before the forging furnace, Claude looked at the forging ores that had piled up into two mountains, gratitude was shown all over his face.

Such a vast amount of stage one and two ores would be worth at least seven to eight thousand gold coins, how could the Auction House send it by mistake!

This was clearly arranged by his teacher who was afraid that he might feel mental stress from failing, which was why he said that.

"Teacher, I won't let you down!"

"I will definitely forge a weapon and become a Blacksmith, even if I am only an ordinary stage one Blacksmith..."

As he continued to fail and accumulate experience, he wrote them down in his personal notebook.

A month passed.

Claude finally succeeded in forging a weapon.

And he even went past the level of a stage one Blacksmith, the first time he succeeded, he used a stage two material to create a Dragon Tooth Spear!

"Teacher, I finally succeeded in forging, I am considered a stage two Blacksmith now, right?"

Claude went to meet Ye Feng excitedly while carrying that Dragon Tooth Spear.

Ye Feng was still experimenting with the fusion of special traits for stage four weapons, as well as the use of various materials, after taking a look at the Dragon Tooth Spear, surprise was present in his eyes.

Not because the quality was low.

But because the quality was too high!

It was hard to believe that this was an extremely untalented Blacksmith's first creation. Even if someone said that this was made by those senior peak stage two Blacksmiths, Ye Feng would believe it.

This Dragon Tooth Spear was still inferior to the stage two weapons that Ye Feng made, but compared to most stage two Blacksmiths out there, it was already superior.

Claude had finally grown up.

The Great Deity of Forging did not ignore his endless hard work and sweat after all!

Chapter 38: Blacksmith Shop's Expansion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Claude's growth and Ye Feng's advancement to a stage four Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng developed the intention to expand his Blacksmith Shop.

He bought the surrounding houses around the Blacksmith Shop, tearing down the walls and creating a large Blacksmith Shop!

Next, after Claude stabilized his skills as a stage two Blacksmith, Ye Feng made a trip to the Auction House and negotiated the orders for stage two weapons.

Ye Feng had no intention of making stage two weapons, he would only take action personally if there were orders for stage three weapons.

This batch of stage two weapons was meant to be Claude's orders, with his current strength, he could practice using this opportunity.

Even if anything happened, the stage four Blacksmith Ye Feng who was also a master at forging stage three weapons could easily resolve the problem.

"Claude."

"Go ahead and practice."

"Before long, be it your Blacksmith level or your forging techniques, you will surpass Clayton..."

Ye Feng brought the boxes of stage two ores to Claude and said slowly.

Claude had an excited expression.

Before meeting Ye Feng, he had never imagined that he would become a stage two Blacksmith after getting exiled!

"Teacher, I won't let you down."

At this moment, Claude's eyes shone with radiance that Ye Feng had never seen before, it was his innate desire towards forging.

Ye Feng had his own plans too, he wanted to quickly nurture Claude and hand over not just the stage two orders but even the stage three orders to Claude.

After all, with his current condition, no matter how many stage three weapons he made, even if they were peak stage three magic tools, he would not get many elemental points!

"Earlier when I made the Thundering Greatsword, there seemed to be some flaws in the carved formation. I was too nervous when making my first stage four weapon, I did not handle it properly..."

"Also, there are some problems when I fused the special traits together! It was my first stage four weapon after all, if I had noticed these problems earlier, the success rate would be much higher, the weapon created would be higher in quality too."

Ye Feng locked himself into his room, standing before the forging furnace and looking at the Thundering Greatsword, he started to research on how he could raise the success rate of the forging of his stage four weapon next time.

In this room, all of the corners were covered in pieces of ores, there were main forging materials and also supplementary forging materials, all of them were stage four!

On this night, Ye Feng intended to forge his second stage four equipment, but different from the previous time, he was going to forge a defensive equipment.

Stage four middle-grade, Shining Flame Knight's Greatshield!

This stage four defensive equipment was comparatively easier to forge among the other stage four defensive equipment.

The formation needed was familiar to Ye Feng, while the pairing of main and supplementary forging materials also used the ratio of the normal stage four Knight's Shield formula in the market, he only had to modify it!

"Hopefully, I can succeed in one try this time."

"Shining Flame Knight's Greatshield is not as hard as Thundering Greatsword, the forging success rate is higher but the expended stage four forging materials far exceeds the Thundering Greatsword..."

"If I fail, I will use up more than half of the stage four forging materials that I have been storing up for so long!"

Ye Feng did the forging carefully and meticulously.

In the forging furnace, the fire was started as the most important material, the shining flame rock, was tossed in to be refined in the heat.

"The special trait of the shining flame rock has finally been extracted."

Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the forging furnace, seeing a lump of heated energy and the liquidized shining flame rock, Ye Feng revealed a smile of joy.

"Next, I will deal with the other supplementary materials! In an hour, I will need to separate all of the special traits of the supplementary materials and hammer them into shape!"

"After that, I will need to carve the formation and fuse in the various special traits..."

Ye Feng continued his work, vigilance was showing all over his face, it was as if he had returned to his first forging session.

He was nervous, uneasy, and in trepidation!

Back then, Ye Feng did not know anything, but after these few years, he had already become a renowned Master Blacksmith.

Furthermore, he was a master in forging stage three weapons, and had also stepped into the realm of a stage four Blacksmith!

"If I can succeed in forging two stage four equipment in a row, my stage four Blacksmith realm will more or less stabilize."

"By then, if I show off my skills, the Auction House will be willing to undergo deeper transactions with me, for example, if a certain Bronze Knight needs to forge stage four weapons, we can handle such orders..."

Ye Feng thought of many things, but during his forging attempt, he became increasingly careful, the hammer also appeared in his hand at this time.

Bam bam bam!

At once, this shop became filled with the sounds of dull hammering noises.

After that was the long duration of the forging process.

Some stage four Master Blacksmiths were able to forge peak stage four weapons as easily as breathing, they could complete it in about one to two hours.

It was the same as how Ye Feng could forge peak stage three weapons so easily.

It was a pity that Ye Feng had just stepped into the realm of stage four, when forging the Thundering Greatsword, he spent an entire day and night.

This forging session was going to take a considerable amount of time too!

"Success!"

Ye Feng looked at the forging furnace and the Knight's Greatshield that shone in silvery light, he revealed an expression of surprise and joy.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four middle-grade Shining Flame Knight's Greatshield, you have obtained 5000 fire elemental points!"

Ye Feng could sense clearly.

Right now, his Knight and Magician cultivation realms had achieved a qualitative change, even though they had not stepped into upper-tier yet, he had gotten much stronger!

At the same time.

As Claude continued to forge stage two weapons in Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop, he continued to succeed and stabilize his skills, his proficiency continued to rise.

He was starting to walk on the same path as Ye Feng, each item that he created was very rarely flawed, they were mostly high quality equipment.

Ye Feng only forged high quality stage three weapons, thus, he was well received by the major forces and Advanced Knights.

But in the City of Chaos, the highest proportion of people were not Advanced Knights but Intermediate Knights instead!

Intermediate Knights could not afford to buy stage three weapons, they could not display the weapon's true power either! Thus, Claude started to gain the heated reception of the Intermediate Knights.

"Immediately stop the cooperation with the Divine Forging tribe, cancel all of the orders for stage two weapons!"

"There is Claude for stage two forging and Master Ye Feng for stage three forging! Why will our Auction House still need to cooperate with the Divine Forging tribe?"

"We will hand all the orders over to Ye Feng and his disciple!"

The manager of the Auction House finally made up his mind on this day, he stopped all cooperation with the Divine Forging tribe.

Chapter 39: Divine Forging Tribe's Visit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the evening, both Ye Feng and Claude were in front of the forging furnace in the Blacksmith Shop, immersed in their work.

However, there was a loud sound at the Blacksmith Shop's door, it was, once again, helplessly forced open again by some brutes.

Two tiny figures were the unwelcome guests!

Dwarves!

The dwarves had shown up again.

The rude and arrogant dwarf that came last time, Clayton, was one of the two visitors!

Right now, Clayton did not show the arrogance when he first visited, nor did he show the pitiful look when he escaped from the Vast Eagle tribe.

"Where is Ye Feng?"

But Clayton did not stay that way for long, he raised his head up once again, looking at Claude who was at the forging furnace arrogantly and asked in a cold tone.

Claude's forging was interrupted, he was originally upset, but after seeing Clayton's appearance, he instantly got angry.

But once he saw the elderly dwarf carrying a huge hammer beside Clayton, Claude was shocked, he asked in a nervous tone.

"Elder Gloin?"

Claude was extremely nervous, even his voice was sharper by a pitch.

The reason was simple.

This Gloin was a famous elder of the Divine Forging tribe, he was a respected stage five Master Blacksmith.

Not only the forging of stage two or three equipment, in the case of this Elder Gloin, he could even forge stage five weapons as easily as breathing.

In the Divine Forging tribe, Gloin was definitely one of the Master Blacksmiths that had the greatest seniority.

A stage five Master Blacksmith had visited them in such a rude and brazen manner, he was evidently not here with good intentions!

"Hmph."

"You are just a piece of trash that the tribe exiled."

"How dare you speak to an esteemed elder like myself?"

"You helped an outsider to steal the benefits of the Divine Forging tribe! Kid, when you were exiled, why didn't you just starve to death instead?"

Gloin looked at Claude in disdain, his tone was full of resentment towards him.

The Auction House canceled their orders with the Divine Forging tribe, it was because of a kid named Ye Feng and a piece of trash that the Divine Forging tribe exiled.

After finding out about this, the Divine Forging tribe became enraged.

Gloin even made the initiative to come on this trip!

"Ask that Ye Feng to get out here, I want to compete with him in forging skills..."

Gloin threw his hammer to the ground and caused the tiles to crack as he spoke in a cold tone.

"I won't allow you to insult my teacher!"

Rage flashed in Claude's eyes.

Earlier, when Gloin insulted him, he did not feel such anger! But once Gloin insulted Ye Feng, Claude wanted to charge forward and fight with him.

"You want to compete with me in forging skills?"

At this time, a voice resounded from deep within the Blacksmith Shop as a young figure slowly walked out.

It was none other than Ye Feng.

When Ye Feng appeared, the elderly Gloin with white hair showed an expression of shock, he did not expect Ye Feng to be this young.

Even though the dwarf race was favored by the Great Deity of Forging, when he was at Ye Feng's age, he was only at the level of Clayton.

He was able to forge stage three weapons and became a stage three Blacksmith, even among Blacksmiths of the same level, he was considered mid-tier and was a genius of the dwarf race!

But it seemed like Ye Feng was even younger than Clayton?

"You are Ye Feng?"

"If you do not dare to compete, you can kneel down on the floor and kowtow to the two of us and apologize. Apologize to our dwarf race and the Divine Forging tribe, admit that we are stronger than you..."

Gloin held his hammer as he spoke in a threatening tone and expression.

In the Divine Forging tribe, he was considered one of the stronger ones.

Not only in forging talent, even his Knight talent was considered superior! Even though he was short and old, he still had the strength of a Bronze Knight.

After all, he had lived for many years.

"Quickly kowtow to us!"

Clayton had a smug expression of schadenfreude, he wanted to slam Ye Feng's head on the ground and humiliate him.

After all, earlier, in the Vast Eagle tribe, Ye Feng had humiliated him to the limit!

"How about this?"

"Let's compete in another way."

"Clayton is your disciple? How about we let our disciples compete and determine the winner instead?"

Ye Feng said in a plain tone.

He did not agree to Gloin's challenge.

Only an idiot would agree to challenging a stage five Master Blacksmith as a stage four Blacksmith, especially when this involved their pride and glory.

If Ye Feng was currently at Gloin's age, then this old man would not even be qualified to look up to Ye Feng!

The Divine Forging tribe had treated him as a huge enemy, they sent a stage five Master Blacksmith so that this would assure their victory?

Ye Feng considered many things, but he still remained smiling on the outside.

When facing Gloin, his expression did not change at all!

Even before Gloin agreed to this, at the other end, Clayton, a genius of the dwarf race, flew into a rage.

He did not dare to scream at Ye Feng, but he pointed at Claude and started to shout.

"You want me to compete with this trash?"

"You are simply humiliating me!"

"Everyone knows that I, Clayton, am a genius of the dwarf race, and this Claude is merely a piece of trash that the tribe exiled."

Clayton was extremely furious and humiliated, his anger reached a tipping point.

"Will you place your reputation as a Master Blacksmith on the line, Ye Feng?"

Gloin questioned.

Ye Feng nodded.

"Sure."

Immediately, Gloin made the decision for Clayton.

"Alright!"

"We'll let these two compete!"

"But there should be some wager for this to be interesting and official."

Saying so, Gloin took out an ore that was gold in color.

Profound spirit crystal, peak stage four.

A supplementary material for stage five weapons or a main material for a peak stage four weapon.

"He is really rich!"

Ye Feng sighed, he had to wager the Thundering Greatsword and some stage four materials to balance his side of the bet.

Ye Feng was extremely confident in the growth of Claude's skill. In his opinion, the so-called genius Clayton, was not even comparable to one of Claude's fingers.

"Teacher..."

Claude was not mentally prepared at all, he had a nervous expression and was afraid that he might bring shame to Ye Feng.

Not only would he lose the accumulated reputation that he had gained, his teacher would also lose the first stage four weapon that he had ever made, the Thundering Greatsword.

Regarding this, Ye Feng showed an encouraging expression.

"Believe in your own strength."

"You are already very strong! Clayton is merely reputed without the proper skills, you can definitely thrash him..."

Ye Feng was not lying, in terms of stage two forging, Clayton completely suppressed Clayton. After all, this competition was not going to be about the forging of stage three equipment.

Claude was bound to win!

Chapter 40: Great Victory

Clayton was already a stage three Blacksmith! As for Claude, he had just stepped into the level of peak stage two.

Gloin, a stage five Master Blacksmith, had personally come to challenge a stage three Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng, it would already be quite embarrassing if word got out.

At this moment, Gloin was not going to make this situation any more embarrassing, otherwise, if others found out, his reputation would suffer.

"Since Clayton is a stage three Blacksmith and Claude barely has the forging skills of a peak stage two, you will forge the stage two superior-grade weapon, Red Tooth Spear!"

"In the weapon industry, Red Tooth Spear is a rather high level stage two weapon, and it is relatively easier to forge..."

Gloin said plainly before looking towards Ye Feng with an arrogant gaze like he was looking down on the latter.

"I am sure you have no issues with the forging of Red Tooth Spear?"

Regarding this, Ye Feng shook his head: "Not at all."

"Let's begin, I am looking forward to getting your peak stage four forging material! It seems that you are going to lose in this bet."

Ye Feng said slowly.

In Ye Feng's opinion, as long as they were forging stage two weapons, regardless of inferior-grade or peak grade, Claude was definitely winning.

During this period, the Blacksmith Shop and Auction House had given more than five hundred orders for stage two weapons alone.

Compared to the Divine Forging tribe, a stage three Blacksmith like Clayton might not even have made five hundred stage two weapons before he stepped into stage three realm!

Regarding forging techniques, Ye Feng did not teach Claude many things, he only told him that practice makes perfect.

"Too arrogant!"

Gloin was enraged.

Even Clayton felt like he was looked down on, at this moment, he looked towards the trash dwarf Claude, he showed surging determination for the first time.

"Claude, you are just a piece of trash that the tribe exiled."

"Back then, you were trash when they exiled you. Now, you are still trash. Only Ye Feng is treating you as a treasure!"

"Watch how I dominate you, your teacher Ye Feng will know that he is truly blind! Hahaha!"

Clayton laughed arrogantly.

Next, he brought his hammer to the forging furnace and searched for materials to start forging the stage two weapon, Red Tooth Spear.

Clayton's insult made Claude extremely furious and hostile, he was almost going to explode from anger.

"Don't insult my teacher!"

Claude shouted loudly like an enraged lion, all his trepidation and uneasiness got swept away instantly.

At this time, there was only one thought in his mind.

That was to win!

He had to obtain a great victory that completely stomped Clayton, that was the way he could repay Ye Feng! Furthermore, he would use his overwhelming results to tell Clayton that his teacher was not wrong.

Even though he was considered trash in the Divine Forging tribe, he actually had talent! His teacher gave him new life, nobody was to humiliate him.

Bam bam bam!

Hammering sounds became increasingly rapid.

In the Blacksmith Shop, two figures were bathed in heat.

By the side, Ye Feng and Gloin watched the two forge.

Gloin looked at the formation that Claude carved on his weapon with great interest, his eyes shone as he could not help but ask.

"What unique formation is this, why have I never seen it before..."

Since they were making the same stage two weapon, the difference in strength would depend on the formation carved on the weapon, and this was not easy to learn immediately.

The reason why the weapons that Ye Feng and Claude forged were high in quality had a deep relationship with the formation that the system gave.

The formations that the system gave were mostly unique formations!

Ye Feng was not afraid that Gloin might try to learn it.

Without his teaching, nobody could learn it! Even Claude would not be able to teach him the method to carve this formation.

"Who knows." Ye Feng said slowly.

This made Gloin slightly anxious, Ye Feng's unique formation made him extremely curious, as a stage five Master Blacksmith, Gloin actually ignored Clayton and went to see Claude's formation carving instead.

Gloin could not help but sigh internally.

"First rate forging skills, even slightly higher than our own dwarf clansmen! Now, he is carving a unique formation..."

"No wonder this Ye Feng could take over all the businesses in the City of Chaos after just a few months. He even managed to steal the orders from the Auction House for our Divine Forging tribe!"

Gloin was unable to stop himself from praising.

Soon, Claude and Clayton completed their forging.

With two final strikes, the forging furnace's fire was extinguished!

Almost at the same time, two Red Tooth Spears appeared before the eyes of these two Master Blacksmiths, Ye Feng and Gloin.

"This trash actually completed his weapon at the same time as me?"

Clayton had an ugly expression.

Since when could a piece of trash rival him like this?

Was it possible that this trash would turn this situation around and win?

Clayton frowned deeply.

But soon, he reacted.

Who was he?

He was Clayton, a genius of the dwarf race, how could he lose to a useless trash that got exiled from the tribe with no talent at all?

"Let's test the might!"

Ye Feng said slowly.

Next, he held the two Red Tooth Spears and threw them towards the wall of the Blacksmith Shop.

Bam!

The sound of collision resounded.

Two Red Tooth Spears stabbed into the wall one after another! However, it was evident that Claude's spear pierced deeper and had greater power.

Gloin frowned, he took the two Red Tooth Spears and started observing them, using methods to inspect their power.

But the result was the same.

Claude's spear was stronger!

"Clayton lost!" Gloin said plainly.

Next, he threw the wager to Ye Feng but did not give up, he still wanted to challenge Ye Feng to reclaim his glory.

Unfortunately, how could Ye Feng possibly agree to his request.

The Divine Forging tribe was simply too shameless! They sent a stage five Master Blacksmith to challenge a stage three Master Blacksmith.

How could they really think so highly of Ye Feng!

"Allow me to reject that! Claude, send off our guest!" Ye Feng responded.

Claude sent the defeated Clayton and Elder Gloin outside of the Blacksmith Shop.

But right at this time, Ye Feng looked at Elder Gloin who had an expression of pity and regret, he frowned and thought deeply before walking over and saying.

"The Divine Forging tribe came to provoke me in such an unsightly manner! If I do not make a response, it will look like I fear you..."

"Some time later, I will bring Claude to visit your Divine Forging tribe, I hope Elder Gloin can go back and make some preparations first!"

Gloin looked at Ye Feng deeply with a wary gaze, he then left with the defeated Clayton.

Chapter 41: Battle of Two Tribes

In the Blacksmith Shop, Claude competed against the dwarf genius Clayton in a competition of forging, news that he won started to spread throughout the City of Chaos.

Claude's reputation soared, he received more and more orders for stage two weapons from the Auction House.

With a continuous stream of stage two weapon forging orders, Claude's forging techniques that were slowing in growth started to improve again.

Ye Feng forged stage three weapons while Claude forged stage two weapons, this pair of master and disciple produced high quality weapons that were nearly flawless.

With this, the Blacksmith Shop no longer had any weaknesses, it managed to stand firmly in the City of Chaos, within the weapon industry.

The following days became more simple and plain.

Nobody came to cause trouble again! No Blacksmiths in the City of Chaos dared to come approach Ye Feng to compete in forging techniques.

"Success!"

"I forged another stage four middle-grade weapon..."

Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.

The fire of the forging furnace was extinguished, there was an eerie blue greatsword that shone in blinding cold light lying inside quietly.

Stage four weapon, Frost Moon Giant Sword.

If a lower-tier Bronze Knight held this weapon and attacked the enemy, there would be a chance of triggering an additional effect of frost energy permeating the enemy.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four middle-grade Frost Moon Giant Sword, you have obtained 3000 ice elemental points, and [Offensive skill: Frost Moon Tide]..."

Ye Feng casually took out the Frost Moon Giant Sword and placed it at the rack beside him before covering it with an anti-dust cloth.

On this rack, there were thirteen stage four weapons that were similarly placed, these were all Ye Feng's creations in the last seven days.

They were all stage four inferior-grade or middle-grade weapons.

"Now, with my forging skill, I can nearly succeed a hundred percent of the time when forging stage four inferior-grade and middle-grade weapons."

"However, there are still some flaws in them, I cannot reach the extent of high quality yet."

"During this period of time, I have not been checking on Claude's work, I wonder how he is doing recently!"

Saying so, Ye Feng pushed open the door and walked towards the main hall of the Blacksmith Shop where Claude was forging weapons.

Along with a loud sound from the forging furnace, intense flames spewed out as Claude quickly extinguished the flames that had caught onto him in panic.

Claude had a tearful expression.

"I failed again!"

During these seven days, other than forging the stage two weapons that the Auction House ordered, he spent his remaining time trying to advance to become a stage three Blacksmith.

But the result was too poor.

After trying three times to refine a stage three weapon, all three attempts ended in failure!

"You are still some distance away from becoming a stage three Blacksmith! Earlier, before the special trait was even fused into the formation, you already started to mold the weapon in a hurry..."

"Also, the formation carved has problems too, the node that is infused with the special trait is flawed, can't you sense it?"

Ye Feng slowly walked out and said slowly as he looked at the forging furnace, as well as the pile of failed weapons that were black like charcoal outside the furnace.

"I know I am too anxious!"

"But I want to follow in teacher's footsteps, I don't want to disgrace you, I need to become a stage three Blacksmith like Clayton at least."

"Teacher, please teach me..."

Claude was like a child who had made a mistake, his expression was nervous and uncertain, but his eyes carried huge anticipation as he looked at Ye Feng.

In Claude's eyes, his teacher Ye Feng was the divine entity who dragged him out of the darkest abyss!

Nobody could compare to Ye Feng.

Even the rumored Great Deity of Forging that he had once admired and worshiped could not compare to the status that Ye Feng had in his heart now.

"Come here!"

"I'll explain to you what mistakes you made earlier in your forging, as well as the consequences of making these mistakes which led to the failure of the weapon creation."

Saying so, Ye Feng started to analyze for Claude.

Claude focused and listened attentively.

In the afternoon, Ye Feng made a trip to the Auction House.

Ye Feng had never forgotten the matter of the Vast Eagle tribe kidnapping Claude, he was not going to let them off.

If not for the fact that going against the entire united Vast Eagle tribe as a single person was quite tough, Ye Feng would have made his move already.

Ye Feng had always remembered this matter internally, he even asked the manager of the Auction House to keep a lookout for the Vast Eagle tribe's movements.

"Nathan, why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Ye Feng pushed the door of the Auction House.

Nathan, who was the manager of the Auction House, had been the person in charge of handling the weapon orders for the Master Blacksmith Ye Feng.

But with Claude's growth, Ye Feng had started to have the intention to gradually hand over this business to Claude.

By continuously raising his forging skills and experiencing failure, by learning from these mistakes, Claude would eventually become a stage three Master Blacksmith.

By then, Claude would be qualified to handle the orders of both stage two and three orders for the Auction House!

"Ye Feng, my friend, do you know? Today, a huge incident occurred in the Land of Chaos."

"After I tell you, you will definitely be extremely overjoyed."

Nathan walked over and gave Ye Feng a warm hug as he said with a joyful expression.

As the manager of the Auction House, Nathan was also a Bronze Knight, he was even stronger than Ye Feng as an upper-tier Bronze Knight.

But his personality was quite cheeky, after they got closer, he liked to leave a cliffhanger for important matters and would not say it without tempting Ye Feng.

Ye Feng showed an exaggerated look of curiosity and desire as he said to Nathan.

"Oh Great Deity of Forging."

"What in the world could make you so excited? Could it be, my friend, are you going to become a Silver Knight already?"

Nathan pretended not to hear Ye Feng's joke as he looked around for a moment before wrapping his arm around Ye Feng's neck and whispering by his ear.

"A huge matter! It is an absolutely great matter."

"Last night, the Vast Eagle tribe slaughtered a base of the Heavenly Snake tribe, the Heavenly Snake tribe elder and his descendants there were all killed..."

"The Heavenly Snake tribe was infuriated, but before they reacted, another one of their bases was uprooted by the Vast Eagle tribe again!"

Saying so, Nathan paused and smiled at Ye Feng as he said.

"And this is not all!"

"The Vast Eagle tribe has taken the initiative to clash with the Heavenly Snake tribe! They killed the offspring of many Heavenly Snake tribe higher-ups and even destroyed two of their bases..."

"The scale of the battle is increasing too..."

Ye Feng squinted as his eyes shone with brilliance, a smile also surfaced on his face.

"The Vast Eagle tribe has gone to 'war' with the Heavenly Snake tribe!"

Chapter 42: Transaction with the Heavenly Snake Tribe

"Interesting, I was worrying about having no way to deal with the colossal Vast Eagle tribe, to think that the Heavenly Snake tribe would be involved like this."

Ye Feng laughed.

He wanted revenge, it would naturally not end after killing Snell!

They kidnapped Claude and wanted to capture him as a slave, if this plan was not supported by the higher-ups of the Vast Eagle tribe, would a mere Bronze Knight like Snell dare to take action?

"Nathan, thank you for the information, you are truly my genuine friend! Tonight, I will ask Claude to send a horse carriage full of gold coins to you."

Saying so, Ye Feng left.

A horse carriage of gold coins?

That would hold at least twenty to thirty thousand.

Nathan sent Ye Feng off enthusiastically while secretly telling him that the Heavenly Snake tribe was selling everything they could to buy weapons in the City of Chaos.

Buying weapons?

How costly would it be!

Why could they not just come to the City of Chaos and find Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop which could produce the most stage two and three weapons in the shortest time with the highest quality?

Ye Feng smiled too.

In the Auction House, the two exchanged a glance and smiled at each other as Ye Feng took his leave and headed towards Muse's Casino.

"Elder!"

"That fellow is here again."

"Ahh! Elder Muse, did our Heavenly Snake tribe provoke that guy again? He is here right now..."

A wave of terrified screams could be heard.

The entire casino was in chaos.

The Heavenly Snake tribesmen who were normally brutal and vicious shivered in terror now, they did not dare to obstruct the moment of that young man.

"Who?"

Muse had just walked out when he saw Ye Feng, he immediately got shocked and subconsciously wanted to kowtow and apologize.

But thinking about it, he had been quite low-profile recently, how could he have offended this Master Blacksmith?

Immediately, Muse became assured of himself.

"What is it?"

Muse waved his hand, wanting his subordinates to show a stance of facing the enemy and encircling him.

It was a pity that last time, Ye Feng who was also a Bronze Knight beat Muse to a pulp, his head was bleeding as he begged for mercy.

All of the Advanced Knights of the Heavenly Snake tribe were scared gutless, when they saw Ye Feng again, they were cowardly and did not dare to move forward.

"I heard that your Heavenly Snake tribe is fighting against the Vast Eagle tribe? Recently, you have been selling assets to buy weapons?"

Ye Feng sat down and looked at Muse's group which was wary and alert, he spoke in a slow tone.

"Bring me to meet your Heavenly Snake tribe leader!"

"This is a huge weapon transaction, Muse, you are clearly not qualified to discuss it with me, you cannot make the final decision right?"

Muse had a look of bewilderment.

"You... you are willing to do business with our Heavenly Snake tribe? I had clearly almost kidnapped your disciple like the Vast Eagle tribe..."

Soon, Muse brought Ye Feng along as they rode in a horse carriage, the group of Heavenly Snake tribesmen followed behind them and arrived in a messy campsite in the Land of Chaos.

The Heavenly Snake tribe had naturally strong bodies and superb Knight talent, but they were brutal battle maniacs that enjoyed plundering and bloodshed, they were mostly bandits.

Their reputation in the Land of Chaos was not amazing, many merchants did not dare to make transactions with them.

Seeing the Heavenly Snake tribe, Ye Feng's first thought was that they were very poor, they clearly could not pay him enough gold coins.

The Heavenly Snake tribe leader personally received Ye Feng as his eyes that were filled with ruthlessness and brutality looked towards Ye Feng in disbelief.

"You... are really willing to help us?"

"You will let go of our past conflict?"

Ye Feng nodded.

Next, Ye Feng pulled the tent flap and said in a light tone as he looked at the campsite, there were many Heavenly Snake tribesmen who were injured.

"You guys are so poor, I know you cannot afford to pay in gold coins! Even if you try to sell assets, in the Land of Chaos, no force would dare to transact with you right?"

"After all, your Heavenly Snake tribe is known for your bandit-like behavior and the tendency to rob people who transact with you."

"I can forge weapons for your Heavenly Snake tribe for free!"

Once he said that, nearby the tent, all the Bronze Knight Heavenly Snake tribe elders who heard this came over immediately.

Even Muse who had brought Ye Feng over showed an incredulous look.

As the person in charge of the Heavenly Snake tribe branch in the City of Chaos, he held admiration towards Ye Feng's forging techniques.

In terms of quality, Ye Feng's forged weapons could be said to be number one in the City of Chaos, nobody could rebuke that statement!

After all, the dwarf race's Divine Forging tribe had to send a stage five Master Blacksmith, Elder Gloin, to ensure that they could suppress Ye Feng without fail in terms of weapon quality.

"Are you serious?"

"You can make stage four weapons for us!"

"Are you really not taking gold coins as payment?! Oh Great Deity of Chaos, how can there be such a great deal in the world, what are you planning?"

One by one, the Heavenly Snake tribe elders rushed in with either extreme joy or suspicion, they were almost about to fully surround Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was not after the gold coins that he could get from forging weapons! After all, through his transactions with the Auction House, the piles of gold coins in his Blacksmith Shop had already started collecting dust.

What he needed was the elemental power that he could get from the system through continuous forging.

The Heavenly Snake tribe definitely had a lot of accumulated forging materials! They were bandits that plundered others, no merchants dared to do business with them as well.

"You will provide the forging materials!"

"After exterminating the Vast Eagle tribe, you will hand me thirty percent of the resources as my payment this time."

"You can believe in my credibility!"

"Furthermore, in the Land of Chaos, other than me, will any Blacksmith dare to make a transaction with you?"

Ye Feng said plainly.

The Heavenly Snake tribe agreed to this transaction in the end.

Muse personally drove the carriage and sent Ye Feng back to the Blacksmith Shop, at the same time, a large quantity of forging materials that the Heavenly Snake tribe accumulated was also sent to him.

There was a vast quantity of stage two materials.

Stage three materials were the same. There were even many precious materials that did not exist in the market.

As for stage four materials, there was more than ten times the amount in Ye Feng's inventory.

"Congratulations to the Host for finding the special forging materials, peak stage three undead broken bone and witchcraft flame, you have obtained the Necromancy Formation..."

With so many forging materials, the entire Blacksmith Shop was nearly filled, Ye Feng barely had any space to stand.

"Teacher, did you rob an entire race or large force?" Claude said as he was completely stunned.

He had never seen so many forging materials, even in the dwarf race's Divine Forging tribe.

"It seems that working with the Heavenly Snake tribe is the right decision, I can kill three birds with one stone! Now, my forging skills can improve again..."

Ye Feng's gaze flickered as he shut the door of the Blacksmith Shop, quickly starting on his forging of the weapons.

This vast quantity of forging materials was the decades of accumulation of the entire Heavenly Snake tribe!

Chapter 43: Forging Completed

"Teacher, how did you get all these forging materials! To think the Heavenly Snake tribe would come back here with you..."

Claude had an expression of shock, even after Ye Feng shut the Blacksmith Shop's door and started sorting the forging materials, he did not stop asking questions.

But it was no wonder that Claude was shocked.

In his perspective, Ye Feng had merely made a trip to the Auction House, but he returned with the Heavenly Snake tribe's escort, and they had also sent him batches of forging materials continuously without asking for a single gold coin.

This was simply unbelievable!

In the Land of Chaos, even the dwarf race knew that the Heavenly Snake tribe would not make transactions with others, they would only plunder.

Ye Feng explained it simply to Claude, regarding his transaction with the Heavenly Snake tribe and their conflict with the Vast Eagle tribe!

Immediately, Claude understood the reason.

"Claude, you will forge all the stage two weapons, along with the defensive equipment, there should be about a thousand to make..."

"You have not made stage two defensive equipment yet, it is about time to try! After you finish forging these, you can start working on stage three equipment."

"The Heavenly Snake tribe gave us too many forging materials, even if you waste some, it is not a problem!"

Ye Feng planned and explained.

Soon, he sorted out the forging materials with Claude, they started to forge.

In the Blacksmith Shop, two forging furnaces were kept in continuous use, each day, hammering sounds could be heard from within the Blacksmith Shop.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging peak stage three defensive equipment, Flaming Combat Armor, you have obtained 100 fire elemental points..."

"Congratulations to the Host for forging peak stage three weapon, Red Flame Axe, you have obtained 50 fire elemental points..."

"Congratulations to the Host for forging stage four middle-grade weapon, Wolf Mace, you have obtained 4000 fire elemental points..."

The voice of the World Creator System continued to resound in Ye Feng's mind without stopping.

Waves of elemental energy surged into his body, raising his Knight and Magician cultivation realms.

His Knight and Magician realms that had slowed in growth started to rise again, stepping onto the peak of stage four mid-tier.

Before long, Ye Feng would be able to become a stage four upper-tier in both Knight and Magician realms.

Not long after, Ye Feng completed all of the peak stage three weapons and stage four weapons that he had to make.

By his feet, before the forging furnace, weapons and defensive equipment that Advanced Knights and Bronze Knights would snatch over intensely in the City of Chaos were placed here casually like trash on the streets, casually lying on the ground.

"I finally completed them!" Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, all of his clothes were drenched in perspiration, he could not even remember how long it took him to complete these weapons.

Even though he was a Bronze Knight and a Four Star Magician now, the mental energy and stamina expended when he forged all these weapons was still a little too much for him.

But thankfully, after this round of forging, Ye Feng completed seventeen stage four weapons, they were either inferior-grade or middle-grade.

"Forging seventeen stage four weapons in one ago, along with three hundred peak stage three defensive equipment and weapons, I am afraid that my forging skills are highly ranked now even in the Land of Chaos."

Ye Feng got up and changed his clothes, the drenched clothing could not be worn anymore.

If Ye Feng's results today were publicized, he would likely affirm his position as the number one Master Blacksmith in the City of Chaos.

"I wonder how Claude is doing!"

"I let him forge the ordinary stage three weapons, even if he was just making the half-finished version, it is still quite tough for him to complete the task."

Ye Feng opened the door and arrived in the main hall, he saw Claude who was busying forging.

Beside Claude, there were a thousand stage two weapons, they had all been completed and placed into the storage boxes in an orderly manner.

In fact, Claude even had time to clean up all of the scraps and dirt of this main hall which he used to forge weapons.

At this point, after forging so many stage two weapons, Claude's body was already exhausted.

But his eyes were shining with bright light, he showed an unparalleled desire and enthusiasm.

His enthusiasm towards forging!

His enthusiasm towards forging a stage three weapon!

His hammer continued to strike.

The half-finished stage three weapons were made one after another, they were burning in the intense flames that radiated with bright light.

"I am just about there, regarding my confusion over the carving of formations on stage three weapons, I am only a little bit away from resolving it!"

"The fusing of special trait is also just a tiny distance away from me, why can't I reach it? This has caused me to fail in forging the half-finished weapon that I had already hammered extensively..."

Claude continued to strike at the weapon as he muttered softly, he was multitasking now by thinking of the problems when he forged stage three weapons.

The truth was, with Claude's strength, this was not something that was too hard for him.

All he had to do was to turn forging materials into the half-finished weapons through hammer strikes, after he had made a thousand stage two weapons, this had become his muscle memory.

Even if he did not look at the forging materials, as long as he hammered without stopping, he could shape those materials easily.

The difficulty of stage three forging had never been this, it was the carving of formation and the fusion of special trait into the weapon.

Regarding this, Claude was only one step away from success.

Ye Feng knew about this.

Claude was clear about it too.

Precisely because he was one step away, Claude refused to give up adamantly.

"Give me the hammer!"

"I will demonstrate the forging of a stage three weapon once more! Regarding the carving of stage three formations, you could already do it before you even started forging weapons back then."

"Back then, you managed to carve the formation and fuse the special trait into it without any flaws..."

At this time, Ye Feng walked over and slowly went to Claude.

Claude was slightly shocked, he became distracted and nearly dropped his hammer, thankfully, Ye Feng picked it up.

Afterwards, Ye Feng made his move as he hammered the materials before carving formations on them. He did not carve ordinary formations but the new ones he got from his system, like Necromancy Formation and Death Formation.

Ye Feng had never tried using these formations before, he did not know what power they would give when they were carved.

Soon. two days passed.

All of the weapons that the Heavenly Snake tribe ordered were finally completed!

Chapter 44: Contest of Forging Skills Again

After a period of seven to eight days, with Ye Feng and Claude forging continuously without rest, Muse brought this batch of weapons and defensive equipment back while feeling like everything was a dream.

"How can they forge so quickly!"

"A thousand stage two weapons, more than three hundred stage three weapons and defensive equipment, as well as more than ten stage four weapons. Ye Feng and his disciple are truly terrifying."

"In the City of Chaos, there are likely no other Blacksmith Shops that can reach their level!"

If he did not inspect these boxes of weapons personally, when Ye Feng told him that they were all done, he might have thought that Ye Feng was joking with him.

Muse sighed in amazement while thinking that Ye Feng's forging skills were too incredible, he could almost match the entire Divine Forging tribe on his own.

In the Land of Chaos, if there was any force that could take on this huge transaction of the Heavenly Snake tribe, it had to be the Divine Forging tribe.

"Divine Forging tribe!"

"It is a pity that they are helping the Vast Eagle tribe, from now on, they will be our enemies forever."

Muse carried the boxes of weapons back to the Heavenly Snake tribe as the entire tribe went into a commotion.

Heavenly Snake tribe leader personally brought in these boxes of weapons as various Heavenly Snake tribesmen gathered and looked at the high quality weapons with deep desire in their eyes.

The Heavenly Snake tribe was extremely happy.

During this period of time, they had contested with the Vast Eagle tribe, they were forced back the entire time, suffering huge losses.

The Vast Eagle tribe was helped by the Divine Forging tribe's weapons!

"Lads!"

"Warriors of the Heavenly Snake tribe!"

"The Vast Eagle tribe's comprehensive strength is lower than our Heavenly Snake tribe, they are only relying on the Divine Forging tribe's support of weapons and defensive equipment to suppress us..."

"Now, we have Master Ye Feng's support! Take a look, these are the weapons that Master Ye Feng personally forged, his forging techniques can even awe the Divine Forging tribe, these are weapons of the highest quality among the same grade..."

An elder of the Heavenly Snake tribe went up and shouted as he grabbed a stage four Knight's Greatsword and slashed with it.

Bam!

The mountain rock shattered.

With this greatsword, the Bronze Knight Elder's strength rose by around thirty to fifty percent.

Soon, the other Heavenly Snake tribesmen also went forward to pick their weapons and test their power.

At once, the entire Heavenly Snake tribe was in a mess, traces of sword slashes and cracks could be seen everywhere, the mountain rocks were simply crumbling like tofu against these weapons.

Everyone in the Heavenly Snake tribe were overjoyed, they held their weapons and wore the defensive armor, they were extremely confident in the upcoming battle against the Vast Eagle tribe.

"Lads!"

"Let's move out!"

"Come with me, we will head for the headquarters of the Vast Eagle tribe, we will kill their tribe leader, their descendants, and everyone else, kill and plunder..."

Heavenly Snake tribe leader shouted.

At that instant, in the Heavenly Snake tribe camp, warriors of the Heavenly Snake tribe responded as they rushed towards the Vast Eagle tribe like a huge tide.

At this moment, the Vast Eagle tribe also moved out with great momentum, after these days of fighting, they were suppressing the Heavenly Snake tribe and had already taken over more than half of their territory.

Only the Heavenly Snake tribe headquarters was left, as well as several tougher to defeat Heavenly Snake tribe camps!

In the Vast Eagle tribe headquarters.

The Vast Eagle tribe higher-ups gathered, they were surrounding one tiny figure, this was not their tribe leader but a dwarf instead.

"Hehe!"

"Just a mere Heavenly Snake tribe, with the support of your Divine Forging tribe's weapons, we can easily exterminate them."

"This is the result! The Heavenly Snake tribe is almost finished! The weapons of your Divine Forging tribe are the best and strongest in the Land of Chaos..."

The short figure was a Dwarven Master Blacksmith of the Divine Forging tribe, hearing the praises of the various Vast Eagle tribe elders, he started to laugh smugly.

But right at this time, outside the camp, a Vast Eagle tribe warrior flew up from the sky, he had a look of fear and shock.

He was a sentry guard!

He was in charge of flying in the sky and observing the surroundings of the camp!

"Tribe leader, the Heavenly Snake tribe has started moving towards us! They are trying to fight to the death with us."

The sentry guard was extremely scared, he quickly added.

"They are wearing armor and holding weapons, those are all high quality equipment, they are likely the creation of that number one Blacksmith in the City of Chaos..."

"What do we do! Tribe leader!"

The sentry guard was quickly beaten up by the dwarf, he was shouting angrily as he flew into a rage.

"What number one Blacksmith!"

"That fellow dares to call himself the number one Blacksmith when our Divine Forging tribe exists? We, the Divine Forging tribe, are the strongest in forging."

Vast Eagle tribe leader did not speak, he rushed out of the campsite and looked afar, indeed, countless Heavenly Snake tribesmen could be seen all over the mountain, approaching them rapidly.

However, they were all wearing armor and holding weapons, they looked like an elite troop.

"Kill!"

"Today, we will wipe out the Heavenly Snake tribe, we have the weapons and armor of the strongest forging tribe in the Land of Chaos, the Divine Forging tribe!"

Vast Eagle tribe leader shouted loudly.

At that instant, the warriors of the Vast Eagle tribe flew out into the sky, charging towards the Heavenly Snake tribesmen to engage in a climactic battle!

Unfortunately, the situation was not as the Vast Eagle tribe expected, they did not suppress the Heavenly Snake tribe or beat them to the ground.

"Ah!"

"My sword broke!"

"Oh heaven! What is that weapon, he broke my weapon and armor in just three hits..."

Waves of cries resounded.

In the sky, the bodies of many Vast Eagle tribesmen were pierced by swords or spears, they fell down towards the sky.

This was a terrifying sight.

The ones getting suppressed was not the Heavenly Snake tribe but the Vast Eagle tribe! With the strong physique of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen, Ye Feng's weapons were even more useful than normal.

They could easily break the enemy's weapon and even shatter their defensive equipment.

This was the difference between high quality weapons and ordinary weapons!

"Master! What is going on? My Vast Eagle tribe spent so many gold coins to hire you to make these weapons, did you give us defective goods?"

Vast Eagle tribe leader shouted in anguish and anger.

But it was a pity as the Divine Forging tribe's Dwarven Blacksmith had already escaped for his life amidst the chaotic battle.

"Hehe!"

"Master Ye Feng's weapons are so useful!"

"Vast Eagle tribe leader, where are you going!"

At this moment, Heavenly Snake tribe leader snickered as he blocked the Vast Eagle tribe leader while holding the stage four middle-grade Wolf Mace that was resting on his shoulder.

Chapter 45: Vast Eagle Tribe's Extermination

The warriors of the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe fought together.

As for Heavenly Snake tribe leader, as a peak Bronze Knight, he went to fight Vast Eagle tribe leader.

"Heavenly Snake tribe leader, you want to kill me?"

"Hehe!"

"We have been fighting for so many years, we are evenly matched, isn't it laughable to even think of killing me?" Vast Eagle tribe leader smiled coldly.

At the same time, against the Heavenly Snake tribe leader, he took out the weapon that the Divine Forging tribe forged for him.

A dark red greatsword!

Stage four superior-grade weapon!

"Hehe, if now was the past, I may not be your match. But I have Master Blacksmith Ye Feng's weapon in my hands now."

"Back then, the Heavenly Snake tribe was poor, I had to fight against your empty-handed, it was a huge disadvantage! Now that I have a weapon, why don't we have a decisive fight now..."

Heavenly Snake tribe leader snickered.

Saying so, he charged towards Vast Eagle tribe leader.

Bam!

The Wolf Mace was whipped out with a sharp sound.

The terrifying strength of a peak Bronze Knight was displayed in full view.

Vast Eagle tribe leader, after fighting with the Heavenly Snake tribe leader for so many years, knew that they had similar levels of strength. Now, it would depend on who could last longer and burst out with greater power.

As well as whose weapon was superior!

In the air, both tribe leaders clashed constantly, each time they collided, a piece of rock would break apart into smithereens due to their battle.

Nobody dared to get close to the two tribe leaders when they fought, all the warriors and even Bronze Knight elders were afraid of facing the aftermath of their fight!

"Our tribe leader will win!"

"After all, the Master Blacksmith of the Divine Forging tribe had personally forged a stage four superior-grade weapon for our tribe leader..."

The elders of the Vast Eagle tribe were confident in their leader.

A long time passed.

By now, the fighting of the two tribes was almost over, the winner had emerged.

The battle between tribe leaders also concluded.

"Vast Eagle tribe!"

"You lost!"

"Offensive skill — Roar of the Snake King!"

Heavenly Snake tribe leader roared and used his offensive skill, his peak Bronze Knight strength surged and more than doubled, he waved his Wolf Mace around and slammed it towards the Vast Eagle tribe leader.

In the sky, Vast Eagle tribe leader raised his dark red greatsword and wanted to block the attack but this stage four superior-grade greatsword was actually smashed into pieces by the heavy damaged Wolf Mace.

At that instant, Vast Eagle tribe leader lost.

He even spitted out blood as a result, pieces of the internal organs were coughed out along with the blood, he no longer had any battle strength left.

"To think that the Divine Forging tribe's weapons are so useless, the durability of a stage four superior-grade sword cannot even match your stage four middle-grade Wolf Mace!"

"Hehe, I did not lose for no reason!"

"That damned Divine Forging tribe has brought ruin to our Vast Eagle tribe!!"

Vast Eagle tribe leader smiled pitifully, looking at the battlefield with Vast Eagle tribe warriors that had died because of broken weapons, he felt deep despair.

The Vast Eagle tribe had not lost to the Heavenly Snake tribe, the truth was, the Divine Forging tribe's forging techniques were inferior and lost to Ye Feng!

In terms of weapons, the Vast Eagle tribe lost, this caused the Heavenly Snake tribe to turn the situation around and reverse their predicament, causing them to exterminate their foes.

"Indeed, this is all thanks to Master Ye Feng!"

"Hahaha!"

Heavenly Snake tribe leader laughed, he publicly cut off the head of Vast Eagle tribe leader who was his mortal enemy in this life.

Next,he raised Vast Eagle tribe leader's head and shouted.

"Vast Eagle tribe is done for!"

"Are the rest of you still going to resist?"

With the death of their tribe leader, Vast Eagle tribe's warriors and elders had shocked expressions, they fell into despair soon as they lost all their courage and motivation to fight.

The remaining members quickly ran for their lives.

Henceforth, the Heavenly Snake tribe obtained complete victory while the Vast Eagle tribe became history in the Land of Chaos, among many other exterminated tribes.

...

The battle between the Heavenly Snake tribe and the Vast Eagle tribe created a huge commotion in the Land of Chaos, all the various tribes and forces were also observing.

In their opinion, the battle of the Vast Eagle tribe and Heavenly Snake tribe had to last several months before an outcome could be decided!

But with one attack from the Heavenly Snake tribe, they killed the Vast Eagle tribe leader and most of the other elites.

Vast Eagle tribe lost completely.

After this battle, Vast Eagle tribe was completely wiped out by the Heavenly Snake tribe.

In the Land of Chaos, Ye Feng's name started to spread again! The reason was simply because his weapons were too crucial in this fight.

This caused Ye Feng's reputation to soar again, gradually, all of the various tribes and forces in the Land of Chaos knew about him!

The weapons that the Divine Forging tribe provided were completely useless against Ye Feng's forged weapons.

In fact, one could say that in this battle between the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe, Ye Feng's weapons and defensive equipment were the key that turned the situation around.

After this battle, Heavenly Snake tribe leader brought all the elders with him as they respectfully went to find Ye Feng in his Blacksmith Shop in the City of Chaos.

"Master Ye Feng, our tribesmen tried to kidnap your disciple back then, I am here to apologize to you!"

"From now on, you are our Heavenly Snake tribe's most honored friend, this is the loot we gained from wiping out the Vast Eagle tribe."

Heavenly Snake tribe leader came over and apologized for their past deeds towards Ye Feng, they even brought over all the forging materials that they obtained from the Vast Eagle tribe.

At once, outside the Blacksmith Shop, horse carriages carried all sorts of ores and forging materials that piled up into huge mountains of resources.

"This is too much!"

"Didn't we have an agreement that I would take only thirty percent!"

After Ye Feng checked out the forging materials, he immediately wanted to reject this huge gift.

However, Heavenly Snake tribe leader was too warm and insisting, even the elders were smiling as they convinced Ye Feng to accept all of the forging materials of the Vast Eagle tribe.

Evidently, after this battle with the Vast Eagle tribe, the Heavenly Snake tribe's higher-ups had understood the importance of Ye Feng's forging skills.

Because of that, the Heavenly Snake tribe that was often known as bandits and plunderers was actually generously gifting Ye Feng the resources to befriend him!

Ye Feng could not refuse their gift in the end, after all, he needed these forging materials to raise and stabilize his own forging skills as well.

"In that case, I will accept this gift from the Heavenly Snake tribe. Our past enmity has been completely settled and resolved."

"In the future, if the Heavenly Snake tribe needs to forge weapons, you can ask Muse to contact me..."

Ye Feng said plainly.

After sending off the higher-ups of the Heavenly Snake tribe, Ye Feng started to count and sort out the forging materials of the Vast Eagle tribe along with the excited Claude.

The Divine Forging tribe was the largest forging force in the Land of Chaos, they had no lack of forging materials.

Thus, the Vast Eagle tribe had a lot of forging materials! This was even many times more than what the Heavenly Snake tribe had given to Ye Feng earlier.

Chapter 46: Forging in Seclusion

Ye Feng obtained such a large amount of forging materials, after sending off the Heavenly Snake tribesmen, he shut the door of his Blacksmith Shop immediately.

"Congratulations to the Host for finding the special forging material, peak stage four purple-gold glazed steel, you have obtained the Amplification Formation..."

"Congratulations to the Host for finding the special forging material, cursed jewel of the dead, you have obtained the Curse Formation..."

Ye Feng checked out his gains and the boxes of forging materials, he could not conceal the excitement in his heart, he could not help but turn on the furnace again.

For Ye Feng's case, leaving so many superb forging materials in the box to collect dust was simply too wasteful.

"Right now, my Knight and Magician realms have reached the limit of Bronze Knight and Four Star level!"

"With just one more step, they will be able to reach upper-tier, I need to give it a push."

Ye Feng said slowly.

As the fire was lit in the forging furnace, smoke started rising.

One by one, forging materials were tossed into the forging furnace by Ye Feng, who then slowly started to forge them.

But this time, he was not making peak stage three weapons, he was making a stage four weapon immediately.

"In terms of stage four weapons, I have not carved the new formations that the system gave me, I do not know how to integrate the Curse Formation and the Death Formation yet."

"I can give it a try!"

"In fact, I might be able to forge some extremely incredible stage four weapons. As for stage four superior-grade weapons, I am almost ready to forge them as well."

Before the forging furnace, pieces of forging materials were rapidly melted and hammered by Ye Feng until they fused into one.

Next, he carved the Death Formation, Curse Formation, and the new Amplification Formation onto it.

After that, Ye Feng skillfully fused the special traits of these materials into the forged weapon again.

Immediately, the system notification rang in Ye Feng's mind.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four middle-grade Cursed Undead Greatsword, you have contained [Offensive skill: Curse of the Dead, and 4000 darkness elemental points..."

Ye Feng was slightly stunned.

He had clearly forged the ordinary stage four middle-grade Red Flame Greatsword, but after fusing in some special materials he got from the Land of Spirits, as well as the Curse Formation, Death Formation, and Amplification Formation, he actually managed to create this Cursed Undead Greatsword.

Furthermore, after such a long time of forging weapons, this was the first time Ye Feng obtained darkness elemental points!

Earth, wind, water, fire, these were the four basic elements in the world of magic. After that, there were the variant elements like lightning element, ice element, darkness element, light element, and others.

"How long has it been since a Darkness Magician appeared in Marfa Continent? I wonder how powerful this Cursed Undead Greatsword is!"

Ye Feng held the terrifying greatsword that was surrounded in darkness and death energy in the forging furnace, he slashed towards the nearby wall.

Bam!

A mark was left on the wall.

Ye Feng took a closer look, this destructive power was around the same as the ordinary stage four Red Flame Greatsword that he was trying to forge, there was no difference.

"Is that all?" Ye Feng shook his head and sighed.

He had thought that he had accidentally created a super weapon through his formations and special materials.

To think that it was so ordinary.

Ye Feng was a little disappointed, he placed this Cursed Undead Greatsword into the box and sealed it.

After that, Ye Feng started a new round of forging, but this time, his creations were more standard.

However, Ye Feng who was engrossed in forging did not notice that at the nearby wall, the mark left behind by the sword slash was starting to distort from the black energy oozing out of it.

Afterwards, the small area of the wall cracked as a result.

The Cursed Undead Greatsword that Ye Feng had casually carved formations onto and fused special materials into was definitely not weak.

But Ye Feng did not notice this, he was still focused on exploring the forging of stage four weapons.

Right now, Ye Feng felt no difficulty when it came to stage four forging. Even for stage four superior-grade weapons, he was qualified to forge them!

"Right now, compared to those senior stage four Blacksmiths, I am in no way inferior to them."

A month passed.

Ye Feng who was engrossed in forging looked at the boxes filled with stage four weapons, he smiled in satisfaction towards his gains.

Next, Ye Feng sent these boxes of weapons to the Auction House and handed them to the manager Nathan.

Nathan who received this box of stage four weapons became exceptionally shocked, even an egg could fit into his opened mouth!

"Oh my heavens!"

"My friend, are you a stage four Master Blacksmith now? Nearly twenty top quality stage four weapons, how did you accomplish this?"

Nathan had an idea of Ye Feng's stage four Blacksmith identity after seeing the fight between the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe.

But he did not think that Ye Feng would grow so quickly.

Earlier, when he interfered in the battle between the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe, he had just stepped into the realm of a stage four Blacksmith!

But now, he was already able to forge boxes of stage four weapons, one had to know that even an average stage four Blacksmith would only forge one stage four weapon every few months.

Of course, stage four forging materials were hard to collect, this was the core reason why most stage four Blacksmiths could not forge stage four weapons often.

But Ye Feng was different.

He had obtained the forging materials of both the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe!

Not long after, Ye Feng returned in his horse carriage.

When he came, there were only several boxes in the horse carriage, but when he returned, he was accompanied by the Auction House's guards.

They were escorting carriages of gold coins, as well as stage four superior forging materials, the destination was Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop!

"How many gold coins are there?"

"Two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand..."

Ye Feng looked at the storage room that was covered in gold coins and dust, he could not even remember how many he had.

If he did not purchase stage four forging materials, the amount of gold coins would be doubled or even tripled.

"Putting so many gold coins here feels like a waste, after some time, I need to try and turn them all into forging materials." Ye Feng shook his head and muttered to himself.

After that, he returned to the forging furnace and counted his stage four forging materials, he started the fire of the forging furnace and began a new round of forging.

During this period, Claude came several times to clean up Ye Feng's forging furnace and the residues that lingered. Ye Feng also taught Claude several unique formations that he obtained from the system!

Chapter 47: Breakthrough

While Ye Feng was engrossed in forging, the matters of the Blacksmith Shop were fully handled by Claude.

Claude knew that Ye Feng was fully focused on the forging now, if there were no important matters, he could not be interrupted!

On this day, the door of the Blacksmith Shop was knocked.

Outside, Heavenly Snake tribe elder Muse had a frantic and anxious expression as he looked at Ye Feng's disciple Claude, speaking in an urgent tone.

"Is Master Ye Feng around?"

"I am Muse from the Heavenly Snake tribe, I have interacted with Master Ye Feng several times in the City of Chaos."

"Last time, I was the one who recommended Master Ye Feng to the tribe leader! Now, I am ordered to request for Master Ye Feng's help..."

Muse opened the door and went in.

Regarding this, Claude did not dare to obstruct him, he quickly informed Ye Feng who was currently forging.

A short time had passed but the Heavenly Snake tribe came to him again, the Heavenly Snake tribe leader had personally asked the Bronze Knight Muse to make the trip.

"It seems that the Heavenly Snake tribe has met with trouble again!"

"Furthermore, it does not seem to be a small issue."

"Otherwise, they would not come and find me so urgently!"

Ye Feng said plainly.

Next, he wiped his hands and walked out of the forging room, before he arrived in the main hall, Muse ran towards him while carrying boxes of stage four forging materials.

"Master Ye Feng, please forge a batch of stage four weapons for us! Afterwards, we will definitely satisfy you with the remuneration..."

Muse handed over the boxes and spoke in a polite tone.

Right now, even if Ye Feng asked Muse to kill someone, it was likely that this Heavenly Snake tribe elder would follow the order.

After the incident of exterminating the Vast Eagle tribe, Ye Feng's status in the Heavenly Snake tribe had risen drastically, his authority was also much higher.

Normally, if he met with Heavenly Snake tribe bandits, as long as Ye Feng reported his name, they would all leave politely!

The forging materials of the Heavenly Snake tribe had all been expended when Ye Feng first forged weapons for them.

All of the forging materials that they got from the Vast Eagle tribe were also given to Ye Feng, the Heavenly Snake tribe did not keep any.

Ye Feng opened the boxes and saw stage four weapons inside them, evidently, the Heavenly Snake tribe had gathered them in a rush.

Stage four weapons could be thrown back into the furnace and be reforged if the special traits and materials were extracted, he could turn them into a batch of superior stage four weapons!

"Alright!"

"I got it."

"I will refine this batch of weapons into the ones that the Heavenly Snake tribe are accustomed to using, I will try to raise the quality to the best of my abilities."

Ye Feng did not reject the request from the Heavenly Snake tribe that had encountered trouble, he agreed to their request for forging weapons.

Elder Muse was overjoyed, after some talk with Ye Feng, he left the Blacksmith Shop while the outside was still dark.

In the forge, the furnace's fire was lit.

Many stage four weapons were placed back inside as their special traits and materials were extracted. This was a difficult task for an ordinary stage four Blacksmith.

It was nearly impossible to succeed.

In fact, even some top tier stage four Blacksmiths would face the same problems.

But it was extremely easy for Ye Feng.

During this period of time, he had forged many peak stage three weapons and stage four weapons, his forging techniques had already reached the state of extreme proficiency.

Not long after, around ten weapons that comprised blades, swords, or axes of stage four level were forged by Ye Feng.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging stage four middle-grade weapon, Domination Flame Blade, you have obtained 2000 fire elemental points, and [Offensive skill: Explosive Flame Roar]..."

"Congratulations to the Host for forging stage four middle-grade weapon, Wild Wind Greatsword, you have obtained 3000 wind elemental points..."

The system notification continued to ring.

Next, surging elemental power gushed into Ye Feng's body, he could clearly feel his strength growing greater.

After this session, the amount of elemental powers he gained allowed him to push through that final hurdle!

Ye Feng's power soared immensely, his Magician realm also stepped into the next stage.

Both his Knight realm and Magician realm had advanced successfully.

Upper-tier Bronze Knight.

Upper-tier Four Star Magician.

"I had anticipated the need to forge stage four weapons a few more times before stepping into the realm of upper-tier."

"To think that after these three batches of stage four weapon forging, both my Knight and Magician realms had broken through together!"

Ye Feng had an excited expression.

Next, he took out a newly forged stage four Knight's Greatsword, he mobilized his own strength as an upper-tier Bronze Knight, slashing with all his might.

There was a terrifying sound of slashed wind.

As the greatsword swung down, the walls and floor cracked explosively, and this was the result of the greatsword having no contact with them at all.

"Not bad."

"Not bad indeed."

"Just the force generated from the slash has already reached this level of power."

"The current me can probably fight ten ordinary mid-tier Bronze Knights!"

Ye Feng was a little proud.

Next, he tested his own power as a Four Star Magician, he stretched his palm and did not recite any incantations as pieces of flaming meteors appeared in his hand.

Stage four magic, starfire meteorite!

This stage four magic's destructive power was far greater than the greatsword of a Bronze Knight, Ye Feng did not dare to throw it.

Otherwise, the entire Blacksmith Shop would be bathed in flames.

"Not bad."

"Starfire ,meteorite has gotten stronger than the last time I used it! Furthermore, I can use it without chanting any incantation."

"If this stage four magic is used together with my Bronze Knight strength, in terms of Bronze level fighting strength, I am definitely first-class..."

Ye Feng smiled as he dispelled the magic in his hand.

Both Knight and Magician realms reached upper-tier, this caused his combat strength to rise by a huge degree.

If Ye Feng had such strength when Claude was kidnapped by the Vast Eagle tribe, he could even fight his way in there to save him while killing all enemies along the way.

"Not only my Knight and Magician realms, I can feel that with the surge of strength and mental power, my forging skills are going to break through as well!"

"The forging of stage four superior-grade weapons can start now. It is possible that my title as a stage three Master Blacksmith is going to become a stage four Master Blacksmith soon."

Ye Feng said slowly.

Next, Ye Feng forged the stage four weapons that the Heavenly Snake tribe needed and arranged them in the box before asking Claude to inform Muse that he could collect them already.

Muse came at night and retrieved the weapons before going back to the Heavenly Snake tribe immediately, it was evident that the situation was urgent.

Ye Feng was slightly curious about the Heavenly Snake tribe's matters, but if Muse did not mention it, Ye Feng would not get himself involved either. He was only going to watch this calmly on the sidelines.

Chapter 48: Heading to the Divine Forging Tribe

Muse did not go to Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop for a long time, in fact, he did not even return to the City of Chaos and only stayed in the Heavenly Snake tribe's camp.

Over at Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop, peace slowly returned.

After forging several times, the Blacksmith Shop no longer had many stage four forging materials.

After Ye Feng forged the final batch of stage four weapons, he fell into a temporary state of having no materials to forge weapons.

Thus, he did nothing for the entire afternoon.

Within the Blacksmith Shop, there was a loud sound that woke up Ye Feng who was having his afternoon nap in shock.

"What is going on?"

"Did Claude's furnace explode while he was forging weapons?! But that shouldn't happen, with his forging skills, he is qualified to be called a stage two Master Blacksmith."

"This is a mistake that only ignorant students will make, how can Claude commit this mistake?"

Ye Feng moved rapidly past several rooms as he rushed forward, what he saw was the dazed Claude and a forging furnace that emitted dense black smoke.

Did his furnace really explode?

Ye Feng went forward and was about to clean up the mess while checking the reason for this incident.

But right at this time, Claude was covered in tears of joy as he hugged Ye Feng excitedly.

"Teacher!"

"I succeeded!"

"I finally succeeded!"

Right now, Claude was incomparably excited.

Seeing this, Ye Feng understood what had happened, he stared with wide eyes, showing an incredulous expression while also feeling that this was a natural thing.

"You reached the realm of a stage three Blacksmith?" Ye Feng asked.

Regarding this, Claude nodded his head with excitement, he was crying from joy, hugging his teacher Ye Feng in tears.

After so many years, he had finally gotten rid of his title as trash, he was now a stage three Blacksmith!

He had been stalled at the peak of stage two for too long, he was one step away from stage three but he could not get past that step no matter what.

Even if he had the stage four Blacksmith Ye Feng who personally taught him, he still could not breakthrough.

This made Claude think that he was truly a talentless trash! But to think that he could become a stage three Blacksmith today.

Ye Feng looked towards the forging furnace.

As expected, in this forging furnace, there was an icy cold blade that was covered in sharp eerie light.

Stage three inferior-grade, Eerie Frost Blade!

This weapon was rather hard to forge among stage three weapons! Even when Ye Feng was advancing to stage three, he did not choose to forge this weapon.

"Not bad!"

"It has high quality!"

Ye Feng tested the quality of this huge blade and praised while nodding. Next, he started to teach Claude the method of forging other stage three weapons!

Explosive Flame Heavy Sword, Icy Armor, Frost Moon Giant Sword...

Under Ye Feng's supervision, Claude started to forge, each time, he forged these weapons and defensive equipment successfully.

After such a long period of accumulation, the moment Claude stepped into stage three, he immediately had a hundred percent success rate.

"Not bad."

"Stage three is not weak at all for a Blacksmith, from now on, nobody will call you the trash that the Divine Forging tribe exiled." Ye Feng said with a look of approval and recognition.

Currently, even though Claude had the same stage three Blacksmith level as the dwarf genius Clayton, Claude's stage three forging techniques were all taught by Ye Feng, and because he was a slow learner, he spent more time training his techniques and learning from Ye Feng's experiences.

Thus, the current Claude was far superior than Clayton! They were both stage three Blacksmiths, but they were not on the same level at all.

"Claude, prepare the horse carriage, we are going to the Divine Forging tribe!"

"Earlier, the Divine Forging tribe's elder, Gloin, came to provoke us and Clayton even called you trash."

"Today, we will go and provoke them, to regain the reputation you have once lost, and to completely get rid of that trash title the Divine Forging tribe had forced onto you." Ye Feng said while smiling, patting Claude's head softly.

Next, the two of them left the City of Chaos in a carriage, going towards a valley near the north, this was the location of the Divine Forging tribe.

The Divine Forging tribe was known as the tribe with the strongest forging abilities in the Land of Chaos.

As the horse carriage went into the Divine Forging tribe, those dwarves did not have the strength to stop Ye Feng from going on.

"Ye Feng, what are you going here?" An angry scream resounded.

Ye Feng looked all around him but only saw small dwarves all over the place, he did not see the person who was speaking.

Immediately, the voice became annoyed and irritated.

"Look down. I, Clayton, am right before you." Clayton shouted in anger.

As expected, there was a tiny figure before Ye Feng, it was his old acquaintance Clayton, he was only at the height of Ye Feng's knee, it was natural that Ye Feng could not see him.

"A familiar face makes this easier!"

Ye Feng chuckled as he grabbed Clayton roughly, speaking towards the Dwarven Blacksmiths who were all around him.

"I, Ye Feng, am here to visit the Divine Forging tribe! My disciple, Claude, would like to compete in forging techniques against your Divine Forging tribe's genius disciples..."

His voice was loud and echoed in the entire Divine Forging tribe.

Instantly, they went into an uproar because of the name Ye Feng.

The battle between the Vast Eagle tribe and Heavenly Snake tribe was also a contest between the Divine Forging tribe's and Ye Feng's forging skills.

Undeniably, Ye Feng won while the Divine Forging tribe lost terribly.

As a result, Ye Feng's reputation in the Land of Chaos rose greatly, it was as if he had stepped on the Divine Forging tribe to elevate his status.

In the Divine Forging tribe, everyone knew who Ye Feng was! It was like how everyone knew who the trash dwarf, Claude, that they exiled was.

"We will compete!"

A Dwarf Elder walked out and said plainly.

It was Gloin.

The entire Divine Forging tribe emitted a hostile aura towards Ye Feng and his disciple Claude.

There were many genius disciples in the Divine Forging tribe, even Clayton who had lost multiple times was among them.

"This time, are you still going to compete in stage two forging? Hehe, trash will be trash, even if your stage two weapon is the best, so what?"

"The value of a stage three weapon is equivalent to more than ten of your stage two weapons!"

"Claude, you are just trash that we exiled."

Humiliation and angry insults continued to be heard from among them.

Regarding this, Ye Feng looked at Gloin and said plainly.

"My disciple against all of your tribe's genius disciples, they will all forge their weapon with the strongest destructive power!"

"They are all stage three Blacksmiths, it is obvious that they will compete using stage three weapons."

Chapter 49: Competing Against Geniuses

Ye Feng's words had two meanings, regarding the stage three Blacksmiths, he was not only talking about the genius disciples of the dwarf race but also his own disciple Claude.

But in the eyes of these stage three genius Dwarven Blacksmiths, Claude was nothing significant.

In their opinion, Claude was still the same trash that the Divine Forging tribe exiled back then.

Even if he had stage two forging skills and was no longer considered trash, he was still too weak when compared to the dwarves.

The reason why they agreed to the competition was that they really did not think Claude was a challenge, they only cared about his identity as Ye Feng's disciple, they wanted to trample on this identity and step on Ye Feng's reputation. That would allow them to become famous in the Divine Forging tribe and the entire Land of Chaos.

"Of course."

"Stage three Blacksmiths naturally have to compete by forging stage three weapons!"

The stage five Master Blacksmith Gloin nodded slowly.

But after saying that, Gloin muttered the last sentence that Ye Feng said and vaguely had a guess, he looked towards Claude with uncertainty and suspicion.

After that, Gloin shook his head with a mocking expression.

"How can that be?"

"Back then, when testing their forging talent, I was present too. This kid's forging talent is simply abysmal."

"Even with the nurture of a shockingly talented Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng, after reaching the peak of stage two, he has already hit the limit of his limit..."

Gloin shook his head, letting go of this ridiculous thought as he started to organize the details of this competition.

After the battle of the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe, with the latter's defeat, the forging abilities of the Divine Forging tribe started to get questioned and criticized by the major forces.

In contrast, the weapons that Ye Feng forged were sought after by all the forces and tribes in the Land of Chaos.

Their Divine Forging tribe really needed to win this competition against Ye Feng to stabilize and regain their reputation!

Soon, the competition began.

Before various forging furnaces, all sorts of materials and ores were placed. Claude and the other Divine Forging tribe's dwarves were standing on the stage.

Regarding the insult of his ex-tribesmen and their mocking gaze, Claude was unmoved as he kept a firm expression.

"I cannot lose!"

"Teacher brought me here to get rid of my title as trash and repay the humiliation they inflicted on me, I cannot let my teacher down."

"Even if I lose my life here, I will not allow my teacher's reputation to suffer any losses! I must win..."

Claude said with a determined expression.

Teacher Ye Feng was the person who pulled him out of the darkest abyss, he was the Deity that Claude worshiped in this world.

This faith was everything that mattered!

Soon, the forging started.

All of the forging furnaces were turned on as the fire started, pieces of forging materials were skillfully put into the forging furnace by these genius young dwarves.

Next, they started hammering away.

At once, in the entire place, there were only sounds of hammer strikes.

"Ye Feng, do you think my dwarf disciples have strength that can threaten your disciple?"

Gloin smiled and walked over, saying flattering words and trying to overstate Claude's strength.

In that case, after they defeated him, they could openly spread news that Ye Feng's disciple had lost to the genius disciples of their Divine Forging tribe, this was something that they could use to regain their pride.

Regarding this, Ye Feng also understood Gloin's intention.

Next, he showed a mocking expression and looked at this stage five Master Blacksmith as he said his true thoughts.

"Not a single one can beat him!"

"These so-called genius disciples of the Divine Forging tribe, in my eyes, are not even qualified to stand on the same stage as Claude."

After Ye Feng finished saying that, immediately, an elder of the dwarf race became extremely angered, he screamed and wanted to go over and beat up Ye Feng.

It was a pity because Ye Feng was very strong.

Nobody in the Divine Forging tribe could beat Ye Feng, that elder was lucky and escaped a round of thrashing because an elder beside him held him down!

Not long after, the weapons were completed.

After that, it was time to test the might of their weapons.

"Claude, here's some advice, you should just admit defeat now!"

"Hahahaha!"

"A piece of trash that the tribe threw out back then still dares to come back and challenge us, this is simply too laughable."

With Clayton taking the lead, the geniuses of the dwarf race started to mock Claude.

It was a pity that their laughter was about to end.

Because Claude swung the Knight's Longsword in his hand and instantly, Clayton and the others' weapons broke into two.

On the spectator's seat, the elders of the Divine Forging tribe were shocked and stunned, they all stood up and looked towards the Knight's Longsword.

"A Knight's Longsword at the peak of stage three?"

The Knight's Longsword in Claude's hand was not an ordinary stage three weapon, the forging materials had been refined to the limit, he also added in some Sharpness Formations and some special traits.

Thus, it erupted with such power.

This Knight's Longsword could unleash great power and easily break stage three inferior-grade or middle-grade weapons, it showed the extent of Claude's forging skill.

He was already top-rate for stage three forging.

In time, with some training, he would become a peak stage three Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng once was.

"We lost!"

"This trash... Claude is too strong!"

Clayton and the others were in disbelief.

Soon, the others learned that Claude was not even a Blacksmith Apprentice months ago, but now, he reached stage three and even had such great abilities.

Immediately, the Divine Forging tribe went into an uproar.

In the Divine Forging tribe, some Dwarven Blacksmiths shouted excitedly and wanted the elders to discuss the idea of letting Claude become the next leader of the tribe.

In terms of forging skills, dwarves despised outsiders and looked down on Blacksmiths that were of other races, but they also held extreme respect and reverence towards dwarves with superior forging skills!

The dwarf elders did not think this sight was strange.

"This Claude's teacher is a human, his forging skills are all learned from that human, how can Claude possibly become the next tribe leader?"

"That is impossible!"

Voices of the opposition appeared.

It was that dwarf elder who wanted to beat up Ye Feng earlier, he jumped out and screamed loudly, pointing towards Ye Feng and provoking him openly.

Thus, because of this elder's words, some dwarves also responded and objected to Claude being the next leader.

At this time, Gloin kept away the surprise in his eyes regarding Claude and spoke to Ye Feng.

"If you can use your forging skills to convince these people and suppress the eight elders of the Divine Forging tribe, nobody will object to Claude's future leadership anymore."

"Ye Feng, do you dare to compete with us?"

Chapter 50: Ye Feng Takes Action

After hearing Gloin's words, Ye Feng rubbed his chin and looked at the energetic dwarves in this Divine Forging tribe as he showed a look of deep thought.

If he took action and defeated all eight Divine Forging tribe elders, he would be able to suppress the opposition towards Claude and allow him to become the next tribe leader, that seemed to be a good idea.

Ye Feng made up his mind.

He then stood up and stretched his limbs.

"Earlier, Elder Gloin came to the Blacksmith Shop and wanted to compete with me in forging skills!"

"However, Elder Gloin did not get his wish back then!"

"Now, I have come to the Divine Forging tribe personally, today, I will do what Elder Gloin had done back then, let us all compete in forging skills."

"Let's compete in terms of stage four weapon forging! Why don't all the elders participate in this stage four competition?"

Ye Feng stood up confidently, he showed the demeanor of a Master Blacksmith, wanting to defeat all eight elders of the Divine Forging tribe.

Immediately, the other dwarf elders except Gloin felt deeply provoked, they all burst into rage.

"Kid, you dare to show off your forging abilities in front of the dwarf race, you are simply too laughable."

"It seems that you do not know the limit of your own capabilities, today, I will teach you a lesson about forging skills..."

"Hmph! Stage four forging it shall be. It is already enough to beat a newly advanced stage four Blacksmith like you, we will all forge stage four inferior-grade weapons, it will prevent others from saying that we are using our age as an advantage to bully a newly advanced junior like yourself!"

Waves of angry shouts could be heard from the dwarf elders, against Ye Feng, they were united and determined to win.

If not for the rumors that Ye Feng could kill the Vast Eagle tribe elder, mid-tier Bronze Knight Snell, and the fact that they might not be able to beat him, at this point, most of the dwarf elders might have rushed up to hit him on the head with their hammers already.

"Let's start!"

Ye Feng jumped towards his forging furnace as he started to pick materials, preparing for his forging.

Gloin saw this and showed a smile, he was exceptionally happy and could not help but think of the future.

After Ye Feng loses...

How should their dwarf race use this defeat of Ye Feng to stir a new commotion and reestablish their Divine Forging tribe's reputation as the number one blacksmithing force?

As for losing?

Gloin had never considered that.

The eight elders of their Divine Forging tribe were either stage four Master Blacksmiths or extremely close to becoming stage five Master Blacksmiths!

Against a new youngster who had just reached stage four in blacksmithing, how could these old people possibly lose?

Even if they were just forging stage four inferior-grade weapons, either of these eight elders could easily beat Ye Feng's creation to a pulp!

Soon, Gloin went onto the stage as well.

All of the dwarves in the Divine Forging tribe stared at this competition fixedly, their eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

This was a contest of stage four forging skills, all eight elders of the tribe were participating as well, it was a grand event!

"This kid does not know his place, he dares to compete with the elders in stage four forging? Who does he think he is?"

"In the City of Chaos, he is merely known as a stage three Master Blacksmith, but our elders are either stage four Master Blacksmiths or stage five Master Blacksmiths!"

"Hehe, he has definitely lost! There are actually people bragging that he is the number one Blacksmith in the City of Chaos when he is just someone who does not know his own abilities?"

Waves of mockery could be heard.

Regarding this, Ye Feng did not care, he was fully focused on the forging.

Hammer strikes continued to resound.

Bam bam bam!

Strikes after strikes.

Finally, when the final strike of the hammer landed, Ye Feng fused several stage four materials together into one longsword.

Soon, along with Ye Feng, the other eight Divine Forging tribe elders also completed their forging.

Weapons that were either covered in flames, light, or energy could be seen before everyone.

"Not bad!"

"Elder Gloin's forging skills have been elevated again! This Shining Ice Knight's Greatsword is only stage four inferior-grade but I am afraid that it can even slash apart a stage four middle-grade shield."

"As expected of a stage five Master Blacksmith!"

"I am flattered! Elder Logue, the weapon your forged is good too, I see that it has three to five formations on it."

The elders of the dwarf race were praising each other, but the moment they saw Ye Feng's weapon, all of their expressions froze.

In fact, rage could be seen in their expressions.

He had a Knight's Longsword that was extremely ordinary, it was merely stage four inferior-grade.

Normally speaking, if one was competing, making an ordinary Knight's Longsword meant that one's forging skills completely dominated the opponent, it showed that their forging skills were so good and incredible, they could make superior weapons even if it was meant to be normal.

But how could Ye Feng dare to do this?

He was going up against the eight top tier Divine Forging tribe elders who were masters of forging in the Land of Chaos!

"I want to try and see how good his forging skill is, he actually dares to forge such a common Knight's Longsword against us!"

"His disciple is so arrogant, so he has learned this from his teacher!"

"Hehe!"

Cold snickers could be heard.

Next, a dwarf elder held his weapon and slashed towards Ye Feng's Knight's Longsword.

Crack!

The dwarf elder's weapon broke into two.

Ye Feng's weapon was completely intact.

"Hehe!"

"The formations I carve on my weapons are all unique formations that the system gave me! Sturdiness Formation, Amplification Formation, and Sharpness Formation..."

Ye Feng smiled as he watched this scene.

A large part of the reason why his forging skills surpassed the Divine Forging tribe was attributed to his unique formations.

The other dwarf elders were stunned, next, all of them refused to believe this as they waved their stage four weapons at Ye Feng's Knight's Longsword.

Soon, an unbelievable sight could be seen.

The weapons of these Master Blacksmiths broke in unison.

The scene became silent.

Ye Feng won!

He had undeniably won!

Unfortunately, the eight elders waved their sleeves and left in anger, shame could be seen in their eyes, as for the matter of making Claude the next tribe leader, nobody mentioned it again.

At this moment, Gloin's plan of suppressing Ye Feng to raise the Divine Forging tribe's reputation had failed!

In fact, the Divine Forging tribe had lost their reputation once again!

In this valley, in the Divine Forging tribe, many dwarves looked towards Ye Feng with a crazed gaze of admiration and adoration.

There were also those with greedy gazes, the dwarves of the Divine Forging tribe had already started to gain a desire towards obtaining Ye Feng's forging techniques!

Chapter 51: Ambush

"It seems that the matter of making Claude tribe leader would not be so easy! But it cannot be forced either..."

"Since we've gotten rid of Claude's status as trash, the objective in coming to this Divine Forging tribe has been completed!"

Saying so, Ye Feng called Claude and left the Divine Forging tribe on his horse carriage, amidst the gazes of admiration and greed of the dwarves.

Not long after, the eight furious elders who had left appeared one after another, their gazes flickered as they looked at Ye Feng leave.

They were moved by Ye Feng's forging skills!

But if they could get rid of Ye Feng's forging skill from the face of this Land of Chaos, that would be good too!

In that case, their Divine Forging tribe would still be the strongest forging tribe in this Land of Chaos, nobody could challenge their status as the number one force.

...

The horse carriage traveled rapidly.

When crossing a dense forest, bulky figures that seemed like huge tigers ran past consecutively, encircling Ye Feng's horse carriage.

This was the Land of Chaos, there was a tribe that was more famous than the Heavenly Snake tribe or the Vast Eagle tribe, they were the Weretiger tribe.

They were born with divine strength, often being the strongest Knights among those of similar levels, but they were even poorer than the Heavenly Snake tribe and did not plunder to sustain a living.

"Is Ye Feng in there?"

"Get out here!"

The weretiger leader wore dark purple armor and carried a huge axe, his strength was close to an upper-tier Bronze Knight.

Right now, this purple armored weretiger was roaring as he waved his huge axe, slashing at the horse carriage.

The horse carriage shattered instantly.

Ye Feng protected Claude and dodged the axe attack while frowning as he went to one side.

At this time, Ye Feng and Claude were ambushed by the weretigers.

Thirty Advanced Knights, three Bronze Knights, and the purple armored weretiger who was close to upper-tier Bronze Knight in strength as their leader.

"Teacher, what do we do!"

"In the City of Chaos, we have never offended the weretigers..."

Claude had flustering, he was only an Elementary Knight after all.

Any weretiger here could easily kill him until not a scrap of his flesh was left.

"Does the Divine Forging tribe want me dead so badly?"

Ye Feng snickered coldly.

The weapons and armors of these weretiger were brand new, there were even forging marks of the Divine Forging tribe's dwarves, how could he not tell where they were from?

"You will all die here."

The purple armored weretiger smiled ruthlessly as his near upper-tier Bronze Knight strength burst out, his giant axe slashed through the air, arriving before its enemy.

Bam!

In Ye Feng's hand, peak stage four magic, starfire meteorite, appeared.

In the blink of an eye, many of the weretigers had expressions of fear frozen on their faces as they were all turned into charred corpses that fell on the ground.

Not far away, in the dense forest, there was an indistinct gasp as the person hiding in the forest was shocked by Ye Feng's move.

Ye Feng was not only a Bronze Knight, he was even a powerful Magician that could instantly cast stage four magic.

"You dare to hide in front of me?"

Ye Feng picked up the axe of the purple armored weretiger as he tossed it into the dense forest.

In the dense forest, a dwarf who was cut in half by the axe and had separated upper and lower body fell down!

"Master Naray?" Claude shouted.

Ye Feng looked towards Claude as he instantly explained the status and identity that this Master Naray had in the Divine Forging tribe.

Naray was a stage three Master Blacksmith in the Divine Forging tribe, as well as a peak Advanced Knight! He was the errand boy of the eight Divine Forging tribe elders, he helped them to do those things that could not be done publicly.

"Hehe!"

"Divine Forging tribe! You guys actually dare to try and kill me!"

"Good!"

"After I return to the City of Chaos, I will settle the scores with you! After offending me, you will not have a good outcome."

Ye Feng smiled coldly.

The horse carriage was destroyed, Ye Feng could only travel on foot with Claude as they went back to the City of Chaos.

Along the way, the Divine Forging tribe sent many people to ambush them and try to kill the pair of master and disciple, incidents continued to occur.

But Ye Feng easily resolved everything! After all, with the Divine Forging tribe's influence, mobilizing upper-tier Bronze Knights to kill him was their limit.

Silver Knights would not bother to take on such a mission to kill someone just for the Divine Forging tribe's friendship and some stage five weapons.

"When I came, Divine Forging tribe's Elder Gloin did not tell me... you were this... strong..."

An upper-tier Bronze Knight of the Giant Boar tribe looked at Ye Feng who was penetrating his body with a giant sword, he said his final sentence before dying.

After that, Ye Feng and Claude endured waves of assaults before finally arriving before the gate of the City of Chaos again.

The current Ye Feng returned with injuries all over his body, his strength as an upper-tier Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician had been expended.

After the two of them returned to the Bronze Knight, the manager of the Auction House, upper-tier Bronze Knight Nathan, came to meet him.

Thereafter, a message from Ye Feng towards the Divine Forging tribe was released by the Auction House to the entire Land of Chaos.

As long as any force or tribe who cooperated with the Divine Forging tribe could break all relationships with them, they would be able to bring materials to Ye Feng and ask him to forge high quality weapons for them for free!

Other than the Heavenly Snake tribe, the weapons that Ye Feng made were mostly sold to the City of Chaos via the Auction House.

Thus, many forces that wanted Ye Feng to forge weapons for them had no choice but to spend a large amount to buy his weapons from the Auction House.

Once news got out, an uproar occurred in the City of Chaos, as well as among the tribes that were close to the Divine Forging tribe.

"Hehe!"

"Master Ye Feng's weapons are only sold by the Auction House and can not be easily bought, even if they are sold, they will be sold out in a short period of time. If not for that, who would go to buy weapons from the Divine Forging tribe after the incident with the Vast Eagle tribe?"

"The Vast Eagle tribe used the Divine Forging tribe's weapons and got wiped out by the Heavenly Snake tribe! What trash weapons are they selling, how dare they call themselves the tribe blessed by the Forging Deity? The dwarf race has really gotten humiliated because of them..."

At once, many tribes established a relationship with Ye Feng and became distant with the Divine Forging tribe.

Furthermore, many aggressive tribes even attacked the Divine Forging tribe and took the dwarves' heads to show that they were determined to break all relationships with them.

The Divine Forging tribe suddenly found that they lost many working partners, their people were even attacked at times, they had to come up with a solution.

They started to sell weapons at an extremely cheap price towards their customers, this prevented their foundation from being shaken by this invisible force that assaulted them!

Chapter 52: Turbulent Undercurrents

In the Land of Chaos, the most common topic that drew people's attention was no longer the battle between the Vast Eagle tribe and Heavenly Snake tribe that led to the former's extermination!

It was about Ye Feng, the number one Blacksmith in the City of Chaos, waging war on the most famous Divine Forging tribe in the Land of Chaos. Yet, this war had no fighting between the two involved parties.

Be it the people sent by the Divine Forging tribe to attack Ye Feng, or the counterattack that he used to steal the tribe's customers, both sides had completely become hostile!

Once this conflict erupted, there was no end until one side faced destruction!

In the Blacksmith Shop, after Ye Feng sent off a few leaders of the beast tribes, he tossed their stage three weapon orders to Claude.

"Claude, you can forge these stage three weapons!"

"You need to grow up quickly and become a stage three Master Blacksmith! The orders of the beast tribes will be useful as your practice..."

After saying that, Ye Feng took the stage four weapon orders and the forging materials that the beast tribes sent, walking into the forging room.

Claude had an expression of guilt as he nodded.

"Yes teacher!"

In Claude's perspective, his teacher Ye Feng had gone against the Divine Forging tribe because he stood up for his only disciple.

After leaving the Divine Forging tribe, when returning to the City of Chaos, Ye Feng had even gotten injured from protecting him, some injuries had not even healed now.

Claude had never been treated so kindly by anyone, he could not help but vow in his heart now.

In this life, he had to treat his teacher Ye Feng like an elder of his own family!

"I need to get stronger, I cannot burden teacher anymore.'

Claude had a determined expression, he started to work before the forging furnace, starting the first mass forging session in his life as a stage three Blacksmith.

At the other end, in the forging room that was specially designed for Ye Feng in the shop, after he pushed the door open, he seemed to have sensed something as he shut the doors immediately.

The forging room was completely dark.

Only the fire of the furnace was burning.

Even though, in this dim environment, Ye Feng could clearly sense that someone else had entered his forging room and had not left even now.

"Hehe!"

"An assassin sent by the Divine Forging tribe?"

Ye Feng smiled coldly, he acted as usual, calmly going to his forging furnace and preparing to forge the stage four weapons.

This assassin was well hidden, even though Ye Feng was an Upper-tier Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician, he could not tell where this assassin was.

But this was not a problem for Ye Feng!

As long as this was not someone beyond the level of a Bronze Knight or Four Star Magician, he could easily deal with them.

As the flame of the furnace got heated, Ye Feng started to forge his stage four weapon!

Right when the stage four was about to take form and he was carving the formation, from behind the shadow of the forging furnace, a shadow flew out rapidly.

A flash of cold light shot towards Ye Feng's neck.

This assassin was incredibly professional!

Quick, precise, ruthless!

The attack had almost reached perfection.

Furthermore, this assassin was very powerful, he had the strength of a Bronze Knight.

If caught unguarded, against this assault, even a peak Bronze Knight like the Auction House manager, Nathan, would die from the attack!

It was a pity that Ye Feng was prepared for this.

Furthermore, he was also an upper-tier Four Star Magician, he had extremely keen senses, the moment this assassin attacked, he noticed.

"You want to kill me!"

"But you are not qualified!"

Ye Feng quickly made his move, the hammer in his hand swung towards the head of this assassin like a shooting star.

Bam!

The assassin died on the spot!

After killing this assassin, Ye Feng's forging session was not interrupted, he calmly took back the hammer and used his other hand to finish carving the formation.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four superior-grade weapon, Flaming Meteor Hammer, you have obtained 6000 fire elemental points..."

Ye Feng could feel himself getting stronger again.

He was assassinated the first time he made a stage four superior-grade weapon, but thankfully, Ye Feng easily dealt with it, the forging of this weapon succeeded.

But right at this time, there was a loud sound outside the forging room.

Ye Feng's expression changed, he thought of something as his face turned grim, he went outside and sprinted towards Claude's forging furnace.

"How could I forget this!"

"Claude is also handing the orders of the various beast tribes, with the current crazed Divine Forging tribe, why will they let him off?"

As expected, in the Blacksmith Shop, Claude's right arm was injured as he hid below the table, in front of him, there was an Advanced Knight assassin that was trying to kill him.

Ye Feng ended the life of this Advanced Knight in one hammer strike!

"Teacher!"

"I know them."

"They are the assassins that the Divine Forging tribe nurture, they had spent a huge amount of gold coins on these people, when I was still in the Divine Forging tribe, they were already assassinating the people who bore a threat to the tribe..."

Claude gradually calmed down.

After searching the bodies of these two assassins, he found the mark on their bodies and became shocked as he explained who they were.

"Divine Forging tribe!"

Ye Feng's eyes were burning with rage.

The two of them were assassinated in the Blacksmith Shop, this made him extremely angry, his attitude towards the Divine Forging tribe also became much colder.

Regarding this, Ye Feng did not speak anymore, he turned around and went back to his forging room, continuing to forge stage four weapons.

He wanted to give the Divine Forging tribe an unforgettable lesson one day, they had to learn that there were some people in this world that they could not offend!

Before that, he had to accumulate strength and get more powerful, he had to make sure that more than half of the Divine Forging tribe's customers were drawn over to his side.

Otherwise, if he wanted to deal with the Divine Forging tribe alone, it would be too tough! The Divine Forging tribe had the protection of their customers and alliance mates after all.

Not long after, Ye Feng completed the orders of the ones who first broke their relationship with the Divine Forging tribe and cooperated with him!

Furthermore, even though Ye Feng did not even take a single gold coin as the fee, he maintained the quality of the weapon and did not jerry-build at all.

At this point, Ye Feng's reputation gradually got out of the City of Chaos, it was spreading around the Land of Chaos.

The beast tribes who were originally working with the Divine Forging tribe and buying their dirty cheap weapons saw this and started to have differing thoughts.

Some beast tribes even started to abandon the Divine Forging tribe as they went to Ye Feng instead.

This was just the start, only a few beast tribes came to him initially, but later, more and more of them left the Divine Forging tribe to work with Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop instead!

Chapter 53: Late Night Assault

In the Land of Chaos, as Ye Feng started to attack them in the weapon industry, the Divine Forging tribe was continuously dealt blows.

No matter what tactics they came up with, even if they sold their weapons at cost price, basically giving them away to the beast tribe customers, it was starting to be useless!

After all, Ye Feng's forging abilities had completely surpassed the Divine Forging tribe in the Land of Chaos, he was the symbol of top quality weapons now.

Furthermore, in the eyes of the beast tribes, Ye Feng was still very young, since he was a top tier stage four Blacksmith now, it was likely that he would become a stage four Master Blacksmith!

In time, as he continued to grow, he could even become a stage five Blacksmith or a stage five Master Blacksmith, even becoming a stage six Blacksmith was not impossible.

If they did not build a relationship with him now, how could it be possible in the future!

Thus, in this battle without the two parties' fighting, simply because of Ye Feng's forging and the relationship he was building with the beast tribes, the Divine Forging tribe had basically lost.

In the Divine Forging tribe, Gloin and the other elders were extremely furious.

They cursed Ye Feng loudly along with his disciple that was the traitor to the tribe, Claude! They also hated those people they sent, they were all useless trash who could not complete their mission.

They could not even kill a single human kid!

They were truly trash!

Right now, the Divine Forging tribe still had no idea that their doomsday was coming.

Late at night, in front of the Blacksmith Shop.

Under the lead of the Auction House, the beast tribes that cooperated with Ye Feng sent their elites to gather at this place.

"Let's go to the Divine Forging tribe!"

Ye Feng brought Claude and the experts of the beast tribes as they left the City of Chaos in a grand fashion, moving towards the Divine Forging tribe.

The manager of the Auction House, peak Bronze Knight Nathan, was also leading the guards of the Auction House.

They were obviously not going to the Divine Forging tribe to drink tea, they were going there to kill!

After the battle with no fighting ended, it was time for the enemy to bleed!

The rule of the Land of Chaos was the absence of law, as long as one was strong enough, it was perfectly common to devour weaker tribes and exterminate larger ones.

"Enemy attack!"

"A large number of people and horses are attacking our tribe!"

In the night sky, fireworks could be seen above the sky of the Divine Forging tribe as pitiful cries of the dwarves could be heard throughout the valley.

The Divine Forging tribe members were either sleeping or forging, at this moment, they were totally stunned!

Enemy attack?!

Such a foreign term!

Ever since the Divine Forging tribe built their foundation in the Land of Chaos, they were protected by various partners and customers, no force would dare to attack them.

"Oh no!"

"It must be Ye Feng's attack!"

"In the entire Land of Chaos, he is the only one daring enough to attack our Divine Forging tribe..."

Elder Gloin was awakened from his sleep, an expression of anxiety could be seen on his face as he went to look for the hammer he used to forge.

The other elders were doing the same thing.

They were flustered and lost!

Their faces were filled with terror!

The Divine Forging tribe had gone through generations and generations in the Land of Chaos, they had not faced any invasion for the last few hundred years.

These elders were used to peace!

Right now, Ye Feng led the various forces to attack their Divine Forging tribe, this made everyone panic, nobody had any experience in dealing with this.

Soon, Gloin stood up to stabilize the situation.

He immediately dispatched the elite dwarves who rode on flying demon beasts and went to their partnering beast tribes for assistance!

After that, they took out the weapons that the Divine Forging tribe had been saving for years, the Advanced Knights and several Bronze Knights were sent to fight the enemies!

"Three Bronze Knights! Over a hundred Advanced Knights! They are all fully armed! Furthermore, some dwarf elders are also carrying hammers, by relying on the defense of their Bronze Knights, many dwarves had also joined the resistance..."

"Hehe!"

Outside the Divine Forging tribe, on a high plain, the Auction House's Nathan could not help but smile coldly.

Normally speaking, this was a powerful force! Be it the Heavenly Snake tribe or the Vast Eagle tribe, they would not dare to attack the Divine Forging tribe.

But now, against them, this amount of power was laughable.

The dwarves were fully armed with weapons and defensive equipment! But they were also similarly equipped.

"Everyone, join the fight!"

"Show these arrogant dwarves the power of the weapon that I, Ye Feng, forged."

Ye Feng waved his arm as everyone responded positively, the experts of the beast tribes and the powerful Knights of the Auction House charged towards the Divine Forging tribe.

At that instant, with their advancement, the Divine Forging tribe's scattered forces were slaughtered mercilessly, be it Knights or other dwarves.

The weapons and defensive equipment that the dwarves made were simply laughable at this point.

The same scene that happened with the Vast Eagle tribe and Heavenly Snake tribe fought was replayed at this moment!

The Divine Forging tribe lost!

Out of eight elders, more than half died!

As for the beast tribes that defended and worked with them, seeing this huge assault force, they did not dare to join in the fight...

The battle between the Divine Forging tribe and Ye Feng finally ended now, the outcome was that the Divine Forging tribe lost terribly!

If they did not admit defeat now, the Divine Forging tribe would be entirely wiped from existence in the Land of Chaos.

The dwarves were dragged by the Auction House's Knights that Nathan led as they were forced to kneel before Ye Feng.

Among them was the stage five Master Blacksmith Gloin.

This dwarf elder had messy hair and blood all over his body, he no longer had the arrogance he showed earlier as he kowtowed to Ye Feng in fear and panic.

"The Divine Forging tribe is willing to treat your disciple, Claude, as the prospective leader of the Divine Forging tribe, we beg you to forgive all of the crimes that we have committed towards you..."

Gloin continued to kowtow without stopping.

At this moment, Claude looked at his former tribesmen in such a pitiful state, he could not help but speak out for them.

Using this chance, Ye Feng agreed to let the Divine Forging tribe off, he raised Claude's reputation in the Divine Forging tribe with this move!

At that instant, the Divine Forging tribesmen who were in despair looked towards Claude in admiration, they were willing to have him as their leader.

This was the rule of the Land of Chaos, there were no laws, the only things that mattered were strength and power.

No matter what you did to the weaker forces, it would only be treated as a natural thing! Furthermore, they would obey the strong without question.

"Claude, before long, you will be the new leader of the Divine Forging tribe! You will be the king of all these dwarves!"

Ye Feng patted Claude's shoulder as he said with approval.

The Divine Forging tribe had relented and fulfilled their promise, Ye Feng was quite satisfied with it! He did not waste his efforts in planning this attack after all.

Chapter 54: Returning to Osborne City

The matter of the Divine Forging tribe was finally resolved.

Claude stayed in the Divine Forging tribe and was assisted by Elder Gloin and the others, he gradually gained control of the tribe and restored the former glory of the Divine Forging tribe.

Regarding this, after Ye Feng settled the remaining issues, he made Claude his spokesperson in the Land of Chaos.

Claude gradually became the leader of the Divine Forging tribe!

This was no different from Ye Feng getting control over the Divine Forging tribe! After all, Claude was extremely loyal to him as his disciple.

After Ye Feng's forging abilities suppressed the Divine Forging tribe and he even used Claude to subdue the entire tribe, in the entire Land of Chaos, Ye Feng's name was well known to everyone, his reputation spread further and furthermore, even beyond the Land of Chaos.

Regarding this, Ye Feng returned to the Blacksmith Shop and made the final batch of stage four weapons that he had promised the beast tribes.

The fight against the Divine Forging tribe was over!

The battle through forging weapons without regard for the cost had to end too! After this batch of weapons, the rest of the beast tribes' orders would go to Claude instead.

This was what Ye Feng had agreed on with the various beast tribe leaders!

In the forge, the furnace's fire was lit.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

As his hammer struck, the sound echoed continuously.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four superior-grade weapon, Blazing Sun Knight's Spear, you have obtained 7000 fire elemental points..."

The system notification rang.

Afterwards, Ye Feng tossed this stage four weapon into the storage box.

This stage four weapon was not part of the last batch for the beast tribes, it was an order by a Bronze Knight that had come to Ye Feng after hearing of his achievements.

This Bronze Knight was extremely generous, he took out materials that were sufficient to make several stage four superior-grade weapons to invite Ye Feng to forge this weapon for him.

"The forging is complete!"

"As I promised!"

Ye Feng took out the cooled Blazing Sun Knight's Spear and handed it over to the peak level Bronze Knight.

This Bronze Knight looked at this spear and caressed it gently, he seemed to like it a lot.

"Oh Great Deity of Knights!"

"I swear, I have never seen such exquisite forging abilities, you are truly the master of Master Blacksmiths!"

"I praise you! May the Deity of Knights bless and protect you!"

This peak level Bronze Knight paid respects to Ye Feng before leaving with much gratitude.

Right when Ye Feng wanted to rest for a while.

The door of the Bronze Knight was knocked again! The person who came was a Bronze Knight, he did not seem like he was from the Land of Chaos.

He entered and said: "I heard that Master Ye Feng is forging weapons here! Maybe I know where he is? I've heard that Master Ye Feng likes high quality forging materials over gold coins, he has such a great reputation..."

"Please bring me to meet Master Ye Feng..."

If this person was not a Bronze Knight who had come to ask him to forge a weapon while having great admiration and respect towards him, Ye Feng would have kicked him out already.

"Sigh!"

"Why can't I get some rest?"

Ye Feng sighed as he shrugged his shoulders, looking at the materials that the Bronze Knight brought as his eyes could no longer move away from them.

"I am that Master Ye Feng that you are referring to!"

"Tell me, what weapon do you want to forge?"

Ye Feng had already said these sentences many times.

Originally, Ye Feng did not want to tire himself out, but the forging materials brought by these people who came after hearing of his stories were simply too adorable, he could not let them go.

He could not reject them at all.

That was Ye Feng's thought.

"I want to forge a Knight's Giant Sword!"

The customer was shocked by Ye Feng's young age, he then praised Ye Feng for a while before talking about his own request with anticipation.

Hearing his words, Ye Feng nodded and remembered his requests.

Next, he brought the boxes of forging materials and went into his forging room, even though this was tiring, he was very happy.

"At this rate, before long, I will be able to reach the peak of upper-tier in both my Knight and Magician realms..."

"However, oh Great Deity of Forging, this is simply too tiring! I have not had a good rest in over ten days."

Not long after, after hearing the notification of the system stating his success, he sent the powerful Knight who had come with an order for weapon forging out of the Blacksmith Shop.

But before Ye Feng had time to rest, the door of the Blacksmith Shop was knocked again.

Outside the shop, several powerful Knights covered in dust arrived, they had obviously gone through a long journey, having just arrived in the City of Chaos.

Without exception, these Knights carried forging materials on their shoulders, they did not know each other either.

"It seems that a high reputation is not a good thing for me!"

Ye Feng shook his head, he opened the door of the Blacksmith Shop and did not close it anymore, he said to the Knights outside.

"Come in!"

"Tell me what kind of weapon you want and how you want it designed."

As the Knights entered, Ye Feng looked at the high quality forging materials they brought and started to work hard again.

Soon, such a lifestyle lasted for an entire month, Ye Feng finally gained some free time to relax in the City of Chaos.

All of the beast tribes' and the Auction House's orders were handed over to Claude, this helped him to grow faster while also allowing him to gain greater control in the Divine Forging tribe, he could develop his own supporters!

At this point, after those Knights who came after hearing of Ye Feng and requested for weapon forging left, Ye Feng did not know what to do.

Thus, he stared to clear out the forging materials in his inventory by forging them.

As the fire of the forging furnace burned, the system gave him elemental powers continuously. Ye Feng's Knight and Magician realms were getting stronger as well.

But he could not breakthrough to the next level!

After the final weapon was forged, Ye Feng found that he had nothing left to do.

"Come to speak of it, I have already arrived in the City of Chaos for over half a year."

"I wonder if Teacher Nyzo has returned yet."

"I should go back to Osborne City and take a look! After all, I have not seen Avril for half a year, I need to go see her."

As he said that, Ye Feng shut the door of the Blacksmith Shop and asked the Auction House manager Nathan to send Claude a letter as he left the City of Chaos, moving alone in the horse carriage and heading towards Osborne City.

Chapter 55: Stage Five Forging Materials

In the City of Chaos, Ye Feng was a famous person who was known by all the various tribes and forces, they were all extremely respectful to him, nobody dared to even provoke him.

But after returning to Osborne City.

Ye Feng became that fellow with no reputation again!

Osborne City was just too small, it only had three Advanced Knights in its peak period.

Currently, after Militan went to eliminate those remnant forces who offended Ye Feng, and after Apal went missing, Osborne City's Advanced Knights were only Militan and Eric now!

"An Advanced Knight from the City of Chaos, any single upper-tier one, can easily sweep this Osborne City into ruins..."

Ye Feng subconsciously compared the City of Chaos to Osborne City.

But soon, he reacted.

He was comparing a tiny place like Osborne City to the huge City of Chaos! It was simply a redundant comparison.

"I am finally back!"

"It seems that Nyzo has not returned yet."

Ye Feng opened the Blacksmith Shop's door and found that the shop was still looking the same as when he left.

In fact, it was covered in dust.

Evidently, after he left, the Osborne City Lord Militan did not come to his shop!

Earlier, Militan came here because of Ye Feng's abilities as a Blacksmith. After he left, there was no reason to come here.

Ye Feng cleaned up the Osborne City Blacksmith Shop and paid a visit to Eric who was in charge of the largest faction in Osborne City now.

Militan did not go back on his words, all of the businesses that the two Advanced Knights including Apal were given to Eric.

Furthermore, with Militan's backing, Eric even managed to suppress and chase away the remaining forces of those two Advanced Knights!

"Ye Feng, my dear son-in-law, you are finally back!"

"After so many months, I thought that you had gone missing! Kid, you are really capable, you managed to build a good relationship with the new City Lord?"

Eric spoke to Ye Feng warmly, he had clearly treated him as family at this point.

Hearing his words, Ye Feng could not help but think internally.

The one who had benefited from this was not Ye Feng but the Osborne City Lord Militan! When he was still in Osborne City, Militan had earned a great deal from his forging.

Soon, from their conversation, he learned that Avril was not in Osborne City, she had headed to the Knight's Academy in Aden City. After Ye Feng left Eric's place, he prepared himself to head to Aden City.

"After so long, I wonder if Avril misses me!"

"Hehe!"

"My forging abilities have improved greatly, when I tried to make a defensive equipment for Avril earlier, because of external influences, I failed..."

"This time, I need to make a brand new weapon for her as a gift!"

Thus, Ye Feng stayed in Osborne City for the next few days, he personally made a peak stage three longsword and defensive equipment for Avril who had already become an Intermediate Knight.

The truth was, Ye Feng could even forge a stage four weapon for her! However, Avril was too weak and could not fully display the power of a stage four weapon.

But even a peak stage three weapon that Ye Feng personally made could allow Avril's strength to rise sharply.

"Not bad!"

"After leaving Osborne City, my forging abilities have improved by several times."

Ye Feng praised his own forging skills before riding the horse carriage and leaving Osborne City.

After traveling for some time, he arrived in Aden City.

Aden City was the upper city of Osborne City, it was extremely rich and developed, the people who moved around were all well-dressed Knight experts.

In fact, even the Magicians who wore black robes could be seen here, the level of development here was far beyond the Phoenix Nest City which was on the same level as a city.

"This is Aden City?"

"Come to speak of it, this is my first time here."

Ye Feng looked at this prosperous city and left his horse carriage at a shop in Aden City for them to maintain it, while he prepared to go to the Knight's Academy to look for Avril.

During this period, as a Blacksmith, Ye Feng could not help himself as he subconsciously asked for information regarding forging materials.

The Auction House of the City of Chaos had people in Aden City too, Ye Feng went to them and asked them to look out for details regarding forging materials.

It was only a casual request, he forgot about it instantly.

But to think that they really got some news for him, to the extent that Ye Feng had to delay his trip to the Knight's Academy and meet Avril.

This news was just too important! Ye Feng could not care about anything else now.

"Stage five forging material!"

"This thing is rare even in the Land of Chaos! To think that it would show up in Aden City's auction..."

Ye Feng had no lack of gold coins, regarding such a rare stage five forging material, he could not give it up.

Immediately, Ye Feng went into the auction with abundant wealth and started to bid.

In the Land of Chaos, the Divine Forging tribe had a so-called stage five Master Blacksmith like Gloin.

But the truth was, he was merely a stage five Blacksmith.

Furthermore, he was not an outstanding stage five Blacksmith, he had only made one or several stage five weapons in his life.

If Gloin was really that amazing and had the skills of a peak stage five Blacksmith, why would the Divine Forging tribe end up in such a pathetic state against Ye Feng?

One stage five forging material was harder to obtain than getting the forging materials for a hundred stage four weapons!

"Stage five forging material, purple flame glazed fire crystal! Initial bid of thirty thousand gold coins, each increment will be at least a thousand gold coins..."

As this stage five forging material appeared, Ye Feng became excited and immediately raised his sign to bid.

"Forty thousand gold coins!"

This action attracted quite a lot of attention, but it was too wishful to try and get this rare stage five forging material with just forty thousand gold coins.

Immediately someone else joined in!

But when the price reached sixty thousand gold coins, everyone was stunned by Ye Feng's wealth. Not everyone was like Ye Feng who was an accomplished Blacksmith, he had hundreds of thousands of gold coins in his possession.

Sixty thousand was just a small sum to the current Ye Feng! He could easily sell several stage four superior-grade weapons to earn back the amount.

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining stage five forging material, purple flame glazed fire crystal, this is a special material, it can be used as the main material to forge a stage five weapon,you have obtained the Purple Flame Formation..."

Chapter 56: Aden City's Blacksmith Shop

Walking out of the Auction House, Ye Feng had successfully obtained this precious stage five forging material after paying six boxes of gold coins.

Hearing the system's voice and gaining this new formation, Ye Feng was feeling great inside, he did not even bother to kill those who were tailing him.

After getting away from those people, Ye Feng left the Auction House! Sixty thousand gold coins was nothing to Ye Feng but it was enough for these people to develop evil thoughts towards him.

It was a pity that these evil thieves were only Advanced Knights at most, there was not even a single lower-tier Bronze Knight.

It was simply too absurd for them to fantasize of killing Ye Feng and taking all his possession including that stage five forging material.

If they really fought, those so-called Advanced Knights would not even be able to take a hit from Ye Feng.

After leaving, Ye Feng went straight to the Knight's Academy that Avril was in, he waited at the entrance for a while before finally meeting Avril.

"It's been too long!"

"My precious Avril!"

Ye Feng gave Avril a warm hug as she showed an expression of joy and happily talked to Ye Feng.

After their short conversation, they stayed in a room of an adventurer's inn and washed up afterwards.

"Avril, look what I prepared for you!"

While the two were in bed, Ye Feng took out the peak stage three weapon and armor from his box.

This was the work of the number one Blacksmith of the Land of Chaos, Ye Feng, if others wanted him to make this for them, he would not even bother to give them a glance.

Only because this was Avril, Ye Feng made an exception and forged the peak stage three weapon and armor with all his effort!

"Ah!"

"This must be very expensive!"

Avril was very happy, her eyes turned red.

Ye Feng had not contacted her for several months, due to the words of her female friends, she almost believed that Ye Feng had betrayed her.

But to think that after several months, Ye Feng would actually give her such a precious set of items.

Peak stage three weapon and armor, even the Advanced Knight teachers of their academy did not have either of those!

"I have already mastered stage three forging completely!"

"Hehe!"

Ye Feng smiled as he said.

Next, the two hugged again.

The night gradually got darker.

On the second day, after seeing Avril, Ye Feng decided to stay for some time before going to find the whereabouts of Nyzo.

But Avril was stuck to him like glue, she did not want to separate from him again. Thus, she suggested that he could start a Blacksmith Shop near the entrance of the school so that they could meet each other often.

"Okay!"

"I missed you too, I do not want to leave you again..."

Ye Feng touched Avril's head dotingly, he forgot all about his teacher Nyzo and his disciple Claude.

The shop near Avril's Knight's Academy, be it rental price or sale price, was extremely expensive, it could even be considered one of the most expensive places in a normal city.

But these shops encountered Ye Feng.

For a precious treasure that was rarely seen in the Land of Chaos, Ye Feng paid sixty thousand gold coins immediately just to get a stage five forging material.

Not to mention this tiny shop!

"Rent a shop?"

Hearing Avril's suggestion, Ye Feng shook his head as he stood at the Knight's Academy's entrance and watched Avril enter the school.

"What's the point of renting!"

"I can just buy one shop."

"If this is the City of Chaos, if I see any street that I like, I will buy all of the shops along that stretch!"

With the power of Ye Feng's gold coins, a shop near the Knight's Academy was finally sold to him.

Ye Feng became busy as he got a batch of people to fix and renovate the shop, but he felt that it was too small!

Thus, like in the City of Chaos, he bought the two shops beside it and tore down the walls too connect all three shops.

And with that, Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop in Aden City was finally completed!

During the period, Avril went to find Ye Feng while she had no lessons, after seeing that his shop was so huge, she became shocked.

"This must have spent a lot of gold coins!"

"Why is the shop that you rented so much larger than all other shops?"

Avril was filled with surprise.

Regarding this, Ye Feng mysteriously pulled her to one side and said.

"Actually, I can already do stage four forging! As a stage four Blacksmith Shop, I have enough wealth on me, how can the shop I buy be small?"

"I bought a total of three shops! You must be looking down on a stage four Blacksmith like me if you think I need to rent..."

Ye Feng was speaking the truth without much concealment.

It was a pity that Avril did not believe him.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Such a young stage three Blacksmith like you will eventually become a great stage four Blacksmith in the future!"

"Even the youngest genius Blacksmith in Aden City is only a stage three Blacksmith like you."

"If you can become a stage four Blacksmith at this age, then I can already become an upper-tier Bronze Knight!"

She smiled and nodded, pacifying Ye Feng.

This made Ye Feng quite helpless.

He was speaking the truth and did not hide anything from Avril, but she did not believe him at all.

And this was only a part of his experiences, if he told her about his encounters in the City of Chaos, Avril might think of him as a lunatic.

He had stage four forging abilities, he dominated the entire forging industry of the Land of Chaos!

He was an upper-tier Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician! At least five Bronze Knights had died in his hands personally.

In fact, the Divine Forging tribe with over ten thousand Dwarven Blacksmiths were under the control of his disciple Claude.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"I am just bragging."

"You are the lady boss of this Blacksmith Shop, aren't you going to stay for the night?"

Ye Feng said as he held up Aden City, walking into the new Blacksmith Shop of Aden City.

Like this, Ye Feng started his business on the second day! In order to display his forging abilities and gain reputation, Ye Feng purposely placed a board that said he would forge for free if they provided materials in front of the shop!

If this was the City of Chaos, all of the Advanced Knights and Bronze Knights who wanted his service would be overjoyed.

It was a pity that this was Aden City.

Not many people knew of Ye Feng!

Chapter 57: The Blacksmith Shop Without Any Business

Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop had no business! In fact, this was the case even after he offered his services for free. This was something unthinkable in the City of Chaos.

But this happened after all!

"Even though I offered to forge for free, nobody wants to come and hire me? I am right at the door of the Knight's Academy."

"Are they afraid that I am too young so they do not want their forging materials to be wasted if I fail?"

At the door of the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng looked at the signboard he made that stated he would forge for free, he looked at the people walking around the streets, feeling completely speechless.

Who was he?

He was Ye Feng.

The number one Blacksmith in the City of Chaos!

He was about to master stage four forging fully, his success rate for stage four superior-grade weapons was already close to a hundred percent.

But now, he had no business at all!

It was simply unimaginable.

Earlier, in the City of Chaos, when he was in the Blacksmith Shop, there was not even any time to rest. Everyday, Bronze Knights came in search of him and wanted his help in forging weapons!

But in Aden City.

Not to mention the Bronze Knights, even the many Elementary Knight studies in this Knight's Academy passed by his shop without taking a look at it.

"So be it!"

"I'll go forge my stage four weapons instead."

Ye Feng sighed a little, as someone who was both a Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician, his senses were extremely sharp, he could hear the conversation of a pair of students nearby, they were whispering to each other.

"Free forging!"

"Are you going?"

"We just need to provide materials, we do not have to spend any gold coins, the amount can be saved to buy resources for our cultivation."

"I'm not going! I saw that shop owner, he is too young, he does not look like a Blacksmith, he seems like a student instead."

"I'll assume he can only make stage one weapons! I'm afraid even his stage one weapons are of poor quality."

"We are all Intermediate Knights, we need stage two weapons, if he fails in the forging, what would we do! It is likely he cannot even repay us the amount for the materials..."

"Let's go!"

"We can go find another place."

After hearing this conversation, Ye Feng's expression turned a little livid.

Two Intermediate Knights actually looked down on a stage four Blacksmith like himself, they were afraid that he might ruin their stage two weapon material and be unable... unable to compensate them?

Ye Feng was simply speechless.

Since the Blacksmith Shop had no business, Ye Feng reorganized the materials he had and started to forge weapons again.

He still had a lot of stage four forging materials left, but most of them were supplementary materials, he did not have much main materials left!

However, Ye Feng had a lot of gold coins, he could buy the stage four forging materials in Aden City itself.

Not long after, with the power of Ye Feng's gold coins, a new batch of stage four forging materials arrived in his Blacksmith Shop.

As the fire was lit in the forging furnace, smoke started rising.

Ye Feng held his hammer and stood before the forging furnace, he could not wait to get working again.

After leaving the City of Chaos, other than the weapon and defensive equipment that he made for Avril, Ye Feng had not forged anything else.

"I wonder if my forging abilities have declined because of the pause!"

"This time, I should forge a stage four superior-grade weapon! Right now, there is only a possibility of failure when I forge stage four superior-grade weapons after all."

Ye Feng said slowly.

Next, he skillfully started a new round of stage four weapon forging.

As the flame in the furnace blazed, all sorts of forging materials were melted under the heat, their special traits separated from the materials which were struck into the form of the incomplete weapon.

Next, he started to carve formations on them.

After that, he fused the special trait back into the incomplete weapons!

With a dazzling light that sparked sharply, the fire in the forging furnace was pushed to one side.

His stage four forging skills had improved again!

"I'll continue!"

Ye Feng wiped away his sweat and tossed the completed stage four weapon into a nearby box.

If the two Knight's Academy students, who said that Ye Feng was a student that might fail to forge their stage two weapon and be unable to compensate them, saw this sight, their eyeballs might pop out.

With their status, in their entire life, it was likely that they would not see a single stage four superior-grade weapon.

Ye Feng went back to his usual style in the City of Chaos, he auctioned off his forged weapons in the Auction House and exchanged them for gold coins which he used to buy more high quality forging materials.

Next, he continued forging using these higher quality forging materials and bought whatever forging materials he could get with gold coins.

If he could not buy any suitable forging materials, he would toss them into the storage room of the Blacksmith Shop and let them collect dust!

Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop, despite putting up an advertisement of free forging, had no business at all after a week of operation.

The entrance of the Knight's Academy had flashy horse carriages moving around, there were also well-dressed Knights moving in and out, but nobody came to Ye Feng's shop.

There were no customers at all, instead, on an afternoon when Ye Feng was arranging his forging materials, a love rival came instead.

"Kid from the Blacksmith Shop, come out now!"

"What relationship do you have with Avril! Get out here, I will kill you today, do you believe me?"

The door of the Blacksmith Shop was brutally broken by a youngster wearing a golden Knight's Armor, he had a dark expression and seemed to have suffered some setback as he shouted crazily.

Ye Feng was inside the shop arranging his materials, he raised his head and looked at the golden armored young man as he said plainly.

"If you are not here to make a weapon, please leave!"

"We only welcome customers!"

Ye Feng said slowly.

After that, thoughts subconsciously surged in his mind as he felt that this sight was too familiar to him.

Back then, in Osborne City's Blacksmith Shop, the son of Osborne City Lord, Donald, had the same demeanor.

Arrogant and overbearing!

He charged his way to the shop and wanted to kill Ye Feng.

But in the end, what happened? Donald died while his father who was the Osborne City Lord got replaced by Militan.

"Another love rival!" Ye Feng shook his head and laughed.

At the other end, the golden armored youngster pointed at Ye Feng's shabby Blacksmith Shop that had absolutely no business as he mocked loudly.

"You poor little Blacksmith student, you actually tried to open a shop like the professional Blacksmiths, but I am afraid you do not even have the ability to forge stage two weapons!"

"You should get away from Avril, you are not suited for her! Only I am suitable for her, not a lowly third-rate Blacksmith like you."

"You are a useless trash who can only hoax Avril using flattery and praises, you are not even qualified to look at her, do you understand me?!"

Chapter 58: Personally Fixing

In the Blacksmith Shop, the young man wearing a golden Knight's Armor continued to mock and humiliate Ye Feng incessantly.

But in Ye Feng's eyes, this was hilarious and amusing.

If this young man was perceptive, he would have noticed that Ye Feng was currently arranging stage four forging materials.

Each of the stage four forging materials here had immense value, they could be exchanged for a hundred of this young man's armor.

However, this golden armored young man who was incredibly flamboyant did not stop flaunting about how rich he was and how incompatible Ye Feng was with Avril.

Seeing this, Ye Feng could not help but feel an urge to laugh!

In terms of wealth, adding in his assets in the City of Chaos, he had hundreds of thousands of gold coins in his storage, it would not be strange to call him a super tycoon in Aden City.

In terms of accomplishment, he was a stage four Blacksmith, the number one Blacksmith in the City of Chaos, his influence was terrifying and widespread.

And in terms of strength, he was very young but by forging weapons, with the system's help, he became an upper-tier Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician!

How could this young man possibly compare to him?

"Hehe!"

Ye Feng shook his head and laughed, he felt amused and entertained by this young man's mocking tone.

At this moment, Ye Feng could not wait for the young man to attack him.

By then, Ye Feng would display his Bronze Knight strength and send him out with a punch. When he finds out that Ye Feng was actually so strong, who knows what expression he would show.

Ye Feng did not care about this love rival at all, he went to the forging furnace and prepared to forge again.

Pieces of forging materials were tossed into the forging furnace as the fire started burning, separating the materials and special traits.

The golden armored young man saw this indifference and his expression turned livid, he was extremely displeased.

"Good!"

"Just you wait!"

The golden armored young man left in anger.

Before leaving, he even kicked the Blacksmith Shop's door purposely, as if he was venting the frustration in his heart and his anger towards Ye Feng.

Regarding this, Ye Feng did not even pay him any attention.

Because he was currently forging weapons, this young man was not worth wasting another second on.

After this golden armored young man left, before long, a stage four weapon was successfully forged in Ye Feng's hands.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four superior-grade weapon, Explosive Fang Giant Blade, you have obtained 6000 elemental points..."

Ye Feng could not help but mutter to himself.

Ever since he became upper-tier in both Four Star Magician and Bronze Knight realms, the elemental rewards from forging stage four weapons started to shrink.

Right at this time, while Ye Feng was cleaning up the place.

The door of the Blacksmith Shop was opened again! This time, it was no longer that young man who wanted to stir trouble earlier.

A muscular teacher of the Knight's Academy wearing a long robe and had Advanced Knight strength appeared.

"Excuse me, do you repair weapons too?"

The teacher from the Knight's Academy frowned as he looked at Ye Feng's empty shop, feeling a little regretful as he asked that.

He taught students in the academy, while sparring with other teachers, a crack appeared on his weapon.

Because he still had afternoon lessons later, he came to this Blacksmith Shop that was not too far away from the Knight's Academy!

But it was evident that the Blacksmith Shop was not a good one, it had no business at all.

He was likely the first customer they had today!

At the same time, he was a teacher of the academy, as an Advanced Knight, he was unsure if the Blacksmith of this shop had the ability to repair his broken Knight's Greatsword.

"Of course!"

"I finally have some business!"

"Hahaha!"

"I am a Blacksmith, what weapon do you want to repair?"

Seeing that there was business, Ye Feng smiled at long last, he did not even bother cleaning up the scraps in the forging furnace, he immediately walked over.

If this were the City of Chaos, this treatment would simply be unimaginable! After all, Ye Feng was a stage four Blacksmith.

Unless it was a Silver Knight asking to forge a stage five weapon, nobody was qualified to receive this treatment from Ye Feng!

"What?"

"You are a Blacksmith, and you are so young!"

The academy's teacher turned pale with shock, he became more regretful, even wanting to just leave right now.

He was just too young, what if he destroyed the stage three Knight's Greatsword during the repair!

But Ye Feng had already walked towards him with a confident look, he could not reject him anymore.

"Alright!"

"Then please fix it."

This Advanced Knight teacher forced those words out of his mouth, hoping that Ye Feng would succeed in repairing it.

"Please let go!"

Ye Feng held the sword that did not budge, several black lines appeared on his forehead as he could not help but request.

Before the forging furnace, the fire started burning.

Ye Feng started to repair the stage three superior-grade Knight's Greatsword!

The truth was, repairing a weapon could be either easy or hard! As long as the weapon's crack was fixed without ruining the formation, it would succeed.

If the formation was damaged, then there was no point repairing the weapon, it would be the same as trash.

"What a trashy weapon!"

"A stage three superior-grade with only one common formation, this Blacksmith simply put in no effort!"

"This is my first customer, forget it, I'll give him two formations, the Firm Formation and Durability Formation..."

A stage four Blacksmith was personally taking action, how could he possibly fail?

Soon, Ye Feng returned this stage three Knight's Greatsword to the Advanced Knight teacher of the Knight's Academy as he said slowly.

"It's fixed!"

The Advanced Knight teacher showed a look of suspicion.

So quick!

He must have ruined it!

But next, as the teacher waved this sword around, shock appeared on his face.

"It is so strong!"

"My sword is even stronger than before it got damaged!"

This Advanced Knight could not help but praise Ye Feng's forging skill, he wanted to pay for the repair but Ye Feng did not accept it.

The price for fixing a weapon was only a few gold coins.

It was too insignificant!

After sending this Advanced Knight away, Ye Feng went back to his forging furnace and contemplated on what to forge next.

The door of the Blacksmith Shop was knocked again.

Ye Feng went over and found that it was the Advanced Knight teacher from earlier.

"Is there anything wrong with the weapon I fixed?" Ye Feng asked.

But the Advanced Knight teacher was pulling a small box behind him, he pointed at the signboard near the door and asked.

"I heard that you are... forging weapons for free?"

Chapter 59: Rising Reputation

Before the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng looked at this Advanced Knight teacher who seemed embarrassed but did not stop his actions as he thought to himself.

"He found that my forging skills are amazing and saw that forging is free, so he is here to earn profits for himself?"

The offer for free forging was written by Ye Feng himself.

He would naturally not deny it.

Taking a look, he saw that the forging materials that this Advanced Knight teacher brought were clearly his prized possessions, they were enough to forge a peak stage three weapon!

There were also some precious materials that could not be found in the market.

Even though forging a stage three weapon would only give Ye Feng about a hundred elemental points from the system.

But it was better than nothing!

"Come in!"

Ye Feng brought this teacher into the Blacksmith Shop and came to the forging furnace before starting to quickly forge the stage three weapon.

But a small incident happened during the forging.

In terms of forging materials, there was one red dragon rock and another special material, snow cloud crystal, that conflicted in nature, it almost caused the stage three heavy sword to be destroyed.

But thankfully, because Ye Feng reacted quickly, he managed to separate the special trait that conflicted and fused them together perfectly.

"You actually succeeded! I've approached many stage three Blacksmiths and even stage four Blacksmiths regarding the combination of red dragon rock and snow cloud crystal. All of them stated clearly that they cannot be fused together!"

"Your forging skills are really... truly incredible."

The Advanced Knight teacher had a look of amazement, his gaze towards Ye Feng became filled with gratitude and idolization.

Ye Feng did not show much of an expression regarding this.

But he was very happy internally.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Ice-Fire Knight's Heavy Sword, you have obtained 1500 fire elemental points, and 1500 ice elemental points..."

This was the first time Ye Feng had obtained so many elemental points from forging a peak stage three weapon.

This was almost close to a stage four weapon.

"It sees that I cannot fall behind on stage three weapon forging either! Ice-Fire Knight's Heavy Sword, such a special weapon exists?"

Ye Feng sent off the Advanced Knight teacher and went back to his forging furnace again.

Since Avril was not around.

Ye Feng's life became plain and simple again, he spent everyday at the forging furnace, continuing to make weapons day by day.

Next, he sold them in exchange for higher tier forging materials, all of the gold coins were also used to buy forging materials.

"I wonder when I can step into the realm of a Silver Knight or a Five Star Magician!"

"Through my estimates, if I do not forge any stage five weapons, I will need another few hundred stage four weapons to have a chance of success?"

Right when Ye Feng was worrying at his forging furnace, thinking of where to get the orders for several hundred stage four weapons, the only customer that he had here, the Advanced Knight teacher who got Ye Feng to repair and forge his weapon created a huge commotion in the Knight's Academy.

With these two new weapons, the Advanced Knight's strength grew drastically, he almost defeated all of the other Advanced Knight teachers in the academy.

All of these teachers became incredibly curious about the weapons, finally, when he got drunk one day, they found out who the Blacksmith was!

"What?"

"It is that Blacksmith Shop with only one young man by the entrance of the academy! Gerald's powerful weapon actually came from there!"

"Oh my goodness!"

"I have been passing by it everyday, but I actually took detours to buy and forge weapons elsewhere. I am truly a stupid pig..."

As a result, Ye Feng's reputation spread rapidly throughout the Knight's Academy, almost all of the teachers learned of his abilities.

The Knight's Academy had two types of teachers.

One were the ordinary teachers like Gerald who were Advanced Knights. There were also the senior teachers who were Bronze Knight level.

These senior teachers were quite few in numbers, they only taught the students who had outstanding talent and superior Knight cultivation realms!

In the blink of an eye, be it the ordinary teachers or the rare Bronze Knight level senior teachers, they all rushed towards Ye Feng's shop.

On the second day, Ye Feng came out of his room and stretched his body, opening the door of his Blacksmith Shop and preparing to start the day.

But he found that outside, there were many Advanced Knights and even a few lower-tier Bronze Knights standing and waiting for him.

"Please forge my weapon!"

"I heard that you are making weapons for free here? That will not do, how can you not have a source of income? I am willing to pay ten times the market rate to forge weapons here, please make mine first..."

"Haden, you shameless old dog! I came first, in fact I brought you here, but you actually cut my queue. I am willing to pay twelve times the amount to forge first..."

The Advanced Knights and Bronze Knights crowded towards the Blacksmith Shop, all of them trying to be first.

In fact, there were two Bronze Knight senior teachers who were clearly good friends, but they were fighting now over who would get to forge their weapon first.

This was really a familiar sight.

In the City of Chaos, every time Ye Feng went out, this would happen as the people who wanted to forge weapons would fight to determine who would be first in line.

"This finally feels familiar again."

Ye Feng opened the Blacksmith Shop's door and said slowly.

"Everyone, stop fighting!"

"You will all get a chance to forge your weapon, open your boxes first, I want to see what materials you have brought here."

"Whoever has the best materials will be the first one to forge their weapon! Gold coins? Who cares about that, only forging makes me happy, you just have to give me a token sum."

Ye Feng smiled as he walked in.

After receiving the boxes of forging materials in their hands, he took a look at them and became much more enthusiastic and welcoming.

"Everyone, come in!"

"Today, I will forge weapons for you all!"

"Hehehe!"

Ye Feng laughed very happily.

The truth was, he did not expect that Aden City's Knight's Academy's teachers would have so many precious forging materials in their possession.

It seemed that raising his reputation and starting his Blacksmith Shop at the entrance of the Knight's Academy was the right decision.

It was easy to predict that after forging these weapons, Ye Feng would gain more elemental points and his forging skills would rise rapidly as well.

Chapter 60: Specially Appointed Blacksmith Teacher

Ye Feng brought all the teachers into the Blacksmith Shop and started to forge weapons for them one by one.

There were almost eight Advanced Knight teachers here and also three Bronze Knight senior teachers!

The forging materials that they brought were very precious, but they were all used to forge peak stage three weapons or armor.

There were no stage four forging materials at all!

Evidently, they were thinking that Ye Feng was only a peak stage three Master Blacksmith with superb skills! They did not dare to think that he was already a stage four Blacksmith.

That was too unthinkable!

Ye Feng was just too young.

Even the fact that he had peak stage three Master Blacksmith forging skills was already too shocking for them at his age.

If they were to know that Ye Feng was also a stage four Blacksmith, all of the teachers here might jump out of their seats.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, I am going to start forging now..." Ye Feng said slowly.

In the Blacksmith Shop, the fire of the furnace continued to burn.

Bam bam bam!

Hammer strikes continued to resound.

Ye Feng put in effort to forge these weapons.

Peak stage three weapons were of no issue to him, his success rate was a hundred percent.

The thing to note was whether the forged weapon would reach the highest quality that he could make.

"The forging materials they brought are really not bad."

"In the Land of Chaos and in Osborne City, I have never seen any of them."

"I hope that the weapons forged this time can be like the peak stage three weapon from the previous teacher, hopefully, they give me a few thousand elemental points each."

Ye Feng muttered internally.

Ye Feng did not hide his forging process from any of these teachers of the Knight's Academy, because there was no need to!

Even the stage five Master Blacksmith Gloin would not be able to learn any of his forging abilities without being personally taught.

Ye Feng's formations were all uniquely from the system after all.

"I wonder if this Blacksmith's abilities are as incredible as that Ice-Fire Knight's Heavy Sword in Gerald's hands!"

"Stage four armor is too expensive, I cannot afford it! But if I can get a free peak stage three armor, that will be extremely worth it."

"I hope this forging session is successful! Such a young and talented Blacksmith is no weaker than any of the dwarves..."

All of the Knight's Academy's teachers watched nervously as Ye Feng forged their weapons, they had spent a long time accumulating these materials after all!

Soon, in the forging furnace, various weapons shining in all sorts of lights appeared before the eyes of these teachers.

Immediately, a commotion broke out.

All of the teachers gasped in surprise.

"A hundred percent success rate in forging weapons! He even carved the formations at one go, he is incredibly confident and calm."

"Oh Great Deity of Knights, to think such an outstanding Blacksmith would appear at the entrance of our academy! Right now, if he said he is a stage four Blacksmith, I would believe him..."

No matter how many times they heard Gerald's praises, they only half-believed it. Today, they came with their prized forging materials, they were taking a risk by gambling too.

And undeniably, they won the gamble!

Ye Feng's forging skills were far greater than what Gerald had said to them.

"Thank you!"

"This is the remuneration for forging the weapon."

"To think that you have such incredible forging skills! Maybe I ask, are you really not a stage four Blacksmith?"

Even the senior teachers looked at Ye Feng with an expression of admiration and respect.

The system's voice continued to resound in Ye Feng's ears as all sorts of elemental energies surged into his body.

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Icy Heavy Armor, you have obtained 300 ice elemental points..."

"Congratulations to the Host for forging a peak stage three Explosive Flame Dragon Bone Sword, you have obtained 500 fire elemental points..."

After Ye Feng forged the stage three weapons, he obtained hundreds of elemental points each time, this made Ye Feng praise in amazement.

More than ten peak stage three weapons made from rare forging materials, the elemental points accumulated was quite a promising sum.

But he had to find a way to raise his reputation and forge stage four weapons now.

"I am a stage four Blacksmith!"

Regarding the questions of the three Bronze Knights, Ye Feng replied plainly as all of the Knight's Academy's teachers looked at him in a dumbfounded manner, they were deeply shocked.

He was so young, but stage four... Blacksmith?

Unbelievable!

Simply unbelievable!

After helping more than ten teachers forge their weapons and succeeding each time, Ye Feng's reputation had finally spread throughout the Knight's Academy's teachers.

Stage four Blacksmith!

When a Bronze Knight left Ye Feng's Blacksmith Shop while carrying a stage four inferior-grade Knight's Greatsword, he still felt like he was dreaming.

In the Blacksmith Shop, that young kid was actually a stage four Blacksmith with outstanding talent.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Oh Great Deity of Knights!"

"Shouldn't all stage four Blacksmiths be those old fellows who have white hair and are barely able to move their hammers?"

After that, the vice-principal of the Knight's Academy in Aden City heard of Ye Feng's reputation and paid him a visit personally.

At that time, Ye Feng was forging weapons.

A stage four weapon!

"You want me to go to the Knight's Academy and be a specially appointed Blacksmith Teacher to teach those students knowledge of forging?"

"Oh my goodness! Why would I accept such a laborious and pointless task when I can just wait for people to come and find me here if they want to forge weapons?"

Ye Feng shook his head and rejected the vice-principal's recruitment.

Regarding this, the vice-principal who had cloudy blue eyes but a sharp gaze contained within did not give up, he insisted on hiring Ye Feng.

At this point, he stated his offer and the related benefits.

"If you are willing to become the Blacksmith Teacher of our academy, I am willing to mobilize my connections in Aden City's higher-ups to get stage four forging orders for you..."

"You are offering forging services for free, it is clear that you want to train your forging abilities, you want to pursue even higher stage four forging or even become a stage five Blacksmith right!"

"If you are willing to become our Blacksmith Teacher, I can help you to search for information regarding stage five forging materials!"

Stage five forging material?!

Ye Feng's eyes shone as he finally gained some interest. He nodded and accepted the vice-principal's recruitment.

"Alright!"

"As long as you can fulfill these terms, I can become your academy's Blacksmith Teacher."

Chapter 61: Provocation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng slowly walked into the academy, to speak the truth, after having moved near this place for so long, this was the first time he was entering it. The academy had the Baroque architectural-style buildings, although the main color was white, everywhere he went, he saw complex designs of stacked, round, oval, petal-shaped, and other typical shapes all over the place.

Although the white base color made the beauty of the Baroque architectural style not perfectly displayed, this style still represented a special form of luxury, although it was known that the size of the Knight's Academy was not small, the comprehensive Baroque style still cost them a huge amount to construct.

"They're rich after all." Ye Feng assessed the surrounding buildings as he sighed to himself, rather than calling this an academy, it was more like a piece of art.

Even though Ye Feng thought that, he did not forget that today, his main objective was to hold a class for the students.

Right when Ye Feng was trying to find his classroom, a voice interrupted him: "I was wondering who it was, why are you here? Don't tell me you're here to scam people?"

This voice was full of disdain and mockery, Ye Feng soon remembered who this person was, they were acquainted in fact, this was none other than Blake.

The truth was, Ye Feng recognized him the moment they met, the other party was also able to recognize him the moment they saw him, Ye Feng did not think they would meet here after their last encounter when he came to the Blacksmith Shop to provoke Ye Feng because of Avril.

But Ye Feng was angered by this person's arrogant voice: "If a person like you can come here, why can't I appear here? Even if I am here to scam people, it is still better than your narrow-mindedness."

Actually, Ye Feng did not hold grudges about the previous incident, but this person was simply unbearably arrogant, Ye Feng could not help but rebuke him. As a result, he was angered by Ye Feng's rebuttal as well.

He had never thought highly of Ye Feng, in his eyes, this was just a lucky kid who managed to infatuate Avril, he did not know what was good for him.

The conflict between the two soon caused a crowd to gather.

Many of them did not know who Ye Feng was, but they knew Blake.

"Who is he? He dares to go against Senior Blake."

"Senior Blake usually takes it upon himself to teach bad people a lesson, thus, he must not be a good person."

"What mistake did this person make, why is Senior Blake so angry?"

...

More and more people came to watch the show, they conversed among themselves and Ye Feng managed to get some information from their words.

This fanatic suitor of Avril was actually a popular person in the academy, his strength was also considerably high among the students, he was ranked top ten in the academy.

And Blake was also someone skilled at forging.

Ye Feng raised his brows, he did not expect this person to have such a background, but he was naturally not intimidated by this. After all, Ye Feng was invited here by the vice-principal personally.

As more and more people came to watch, Blake who had always been the center of attention could not take it anymore, he understood that words could not decide the outcome of this argument, the only thing that mattered was strength.

Even though Blake did not know what this guy's strength was, he guessed that his strength was not impressive.

"So many people are watching now, I'm not going to waste time talking, this is the Knight's Academy, we will have an open and fair duel." Blake showed determination in his eyes, it was clear that he felt confident about winning this duel.

Ye Feng looked at Blake with a hint of helplessness, he was not here to have a duel after all, thus, he smiled coldly: "Crazy."

Ye Feng's reply was out of Blake's expectations, as a genius of his family, Blake had never been treated so coldly before. Because he was the person closest to Ye Feng physically, he could see clearly the look of disdain on Ye Feng's face.

Indeed, it was disdain.

Precisely because of this expression, Blake, who had thought that he might be acting rashly became more determined, wanted to defeat this person openly and fairly.

"Why are you not speaking? Are you afraid?"

"Do you think everyone is as free as you?" Ye Feng smiled coldly: "I came here because of your vice-principal's request, I am not here to play such childish games."

Ye Feng's expression became more patient, when he spoke, not only was he not forceful, he even had a mocking tone. This situation basically showed that Ye Feng thought nothing of Blake at all.

How could Blake not notice this? He walked up to Ye Feng and stared at him with a deadly gaze: "I don't care, you have to duel me today no matter what. Unless you are afraid because you know that you cannot beat me."

Ye Feng was really feeling a little helpless now, but with Blake standing right before him, it was a declaration that unless he gave Blake a satisfactory answer, he would not let Ye Feng go.

But in the eyes of outsiders, Ye Feng's continued rejections seemed like he had no confidence. Even though Ye Feng did not fear these so-called rumors, he would not allow others to trample on his reputation and pride.

Furthermore, Ye Feng could tell that this person was someone who would not give up even if he had to use unscrupulous methods. In that case, he might as well agree to Blake's request.

Ye Feng took a step back to pull some distance, Blake wanted to grab his shirt but was easily dodged by Ye Feng who smiled and said: "I'll duel with you if that's what you want."

Ye Feng thought to himself: 'After agreeing to this, hopefully he will stop pestering me.'

Chapter 62: Duel

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A place like the Knight's Academy naturally had no lack of stages. Instead of calling this a duel stage, it was more like a performance stage, other than the more central area, there were seats for spectators surrounding it.

The entire stage also had the Baroque architectural style, it was elegant and beautiful.

Originally, Ye Feng and Blake's argument had already attracted a lot of attention. Blake was a popular person in the Knight's Academy after all, many people caught wind after such a commotion had occurred.

Ye Feng slowly walked up the stage as he could feel that it was not as fragile as it seemed, the stage was reinforced specially with tough materials. The actual duel stage was a distance away from the seating area, but to protect the spectators, there was an invisible barrier between the stage and seating area to ensure that nobody would get hurt.

There were already many people seated here, it was clear that most of them had come in curiosity due to Blake's fame. The ones who were around when the argument started earlier filled the rest in on what had happened.

"This shows that this person is actually not cowardly."

"What's the point of courage? Who knows how long he can last under Blake's attacks, we all know that Blake is not to be trifled with."

"This person is screwed, Blake had already declared that he would go all-in for this duel earlier."

As the students discussed the matter of this duel, it was clear that they already knew the outcome of this fight before it even started.

"But the other guy is not from our academy?"

"I've never seen him before."

"It must be because he is not from our academy that he has the guts to provoke senior."

...

On the duel stage, Ye Feng could not really hear these kinds of conversations anymore from such a distance, but when he saw their gazes of pity and sympathy, he could tell that they thought he had no chance of winning this duel.

The truth was, Ye Feng did not feel surprised about this either, these students did not know anything about him, even though he had already been here for some time.

Most people basically thought of him as a scam artist, if they did not teach him a lesson, he would not learn his place.

But regarding these conversations, Ye Feng felt nothing from them.

The Knight's Academy was a school, they had certain requirements towards the students' moral conduct, thus, there were no bets set up.

Of course, this was because they were already certain of the outcome, nobody thought that Ye Feng could win, including Blake.

"Kid, if you admit defeat now, I can spare you." Blake raised his brows as he said, thinking that Ye Feng was certain to lose, the truth was, Blake wanted to teach Ye Feng a lesson even during the previous encounter.

But back then, Ye Feng was forging something, he completely ignored the person in front of him. Because of that, Blake had been feeling annoyed internally.

Even so, how could Ye Feng lose this, he looked at Blake with sympathy in his eyes: "You are really a brainless fool."

Ye Feng's gaze successfully angered Blake, without hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed towards Ye Feng.

Ye Feng raised his brows, he did not think that Blake would take action so swiftly, his strength was truly remarkable to be part of the top ten in the academy.

The surrounding people started to cheer the moment they saw Blake charging ahead —

"Senior, good luck, show him how strong we are."

"Senior, good luck, show him what humiliation looks like."

...

But out of their expectations, Blake's full powered attack was easily dodged by Ye Feng, who did not even take out his own weapon at this point in time.

But Blake did not give up after he missed, he quickly adjusted his posture and slashed at Ye Feng again. Because of the continuous motion by Blake, a huge force was produced that even caused a black trail to form on the ground of the duel stage.

Ye Feng did not dodge completely this time, he could easily use his weapon to block the attack from Blake to resolve this move.

But Blake reacted very quickly this time, after he missed an attack again, he quickly changed his stance and stabbed instead.

But what Ye Feng basically did was to twist his sword around and perfectly dodge the stab that came towards him without excessive movement.

The surrounding cheers slowly disappeared as the two fought.

They were all students of the Knight's Academy, they could clearly see the fight that was going on in front of them, on the surface, it seemed that Blake was suppressing Ye Feng throughout this fight.

But it was clear to many people that Ye Feng had not actually made an attack yet, he was basically standing there and blocking Blake's attacks each time.

"He has been blocking from the start."

"Yes, he has not attacked once."

"Senior Blake is basically completely manipulated by this person."

At first, Blake did not feel anything strange, but afterwards, he noticed that Ye Feng had not been moving much from his initial spot, while he had been constantly running around the stage.

Right now, he had basically no way of doing anything, Ye Feng's defenses were perfect.

Could he only defend and not attack?

Blake thought about it and stopped, he took a deep breath before looking at Ye Feng: "Come hit me, why are you not attacking me, are you afraid?"

Originally, Ye Feng did not attack because he wanted the other party to notice their difference and surrender, but to think that this person was so blind and stupid, without any realization of the difference in their strength.

Ye Feng felt that he was asking for too much, thus, he swept his sword and said: "As you wish."

Blake, who could not dodge in time, fell heavily to the ground, this also meant the end of the duel.

Chapter 63: Shock

"Ah!" Many people saw this unpredictable scene and stood up, they showed expressions of disbelief when Blake was repelled and forced to the ground.

"Blake lost!"

"He actually won!"

"His strength is above Blake."

"To think that Blake lost so thoroughly."

...

Many students started discussing the scene before them, even Blake showed an expression of similar disbelief, he did not think that he would lose this duel so easily.

Even though many people were unable to accept this fact, because Blake was a popular person who had a decent reputation normally, nobody came here to mock him at this moment.

They only discussed the difference in strength between them.

But such discussions were unbearable when Blake heard them.

The truth was, they already had an idea of the difference in Blake and Ye Feng's strength when they fought, but to think that Ye Feng was so strong he could defeat Blake in one move.

People who usually initiated such duels had mostly done so out of rashness, the academy allowed the two parties to fight but they could not cause any deaths here, no duels were exempted from this rule.

When Ye Feng fought against him, they had fought under the rules of a duel, otherwise, Blake did not know if he would still be alive now.

He actually lost.

He lost to Ye Feng.

Such thoughts lingered in Blake's mind.

From the start, Blake did not think that he would lose, because Ye Feng had been on the defensive throughout the fight, Blake did not realize that he had not made the correct judgment throughout the fight.

Now that they stopped fighting, Blake calmed down and regained his senses, he replayed their battle in his mind.

Next, he thought of the fact that Ye Feng only guarded when they fought, in a while, it showed how strong it was, it was truly laughable that Blake did not realize it.

If the previous Blake had no such idea prior to the fight, then now, after this duel, Blake had no choice but to recognize Ye Feng's strength.

He had no choice but to admit that Ye Feng was superior to him.

Blake was someone who had a smooth journey in life, and had never gone through huge ordeals or difficulties. While this loss was hard to accept, his defeat had already been decided, there was nothing he could do about it.

Blake looked at the students around him, since they were cheering for him earlier, it was clear that they were also unable to accept such a result in actuality, especially when the progression of the situation was so abrupt.

Ye Feng was not a student of the academy, by losing to someone who was not part of the academy, they had caused the reputation of the Knight's Academy to be lost.

'No, I cannot allow that to happen,' Blake thought to himself.

Even though he was clear that he had lost this duel completely, he knew that the entire academy's reputation was hanging on the line, he could not admit defeat so easily.

"Aren't you a Blacksmith? Let's compete in forging." Blake looked at Ye Feng and said.

Ye Feng looked at Blake and knew that the kid had yet to give up, but he did not expect that instead of admitting defeat, Blake would try to win again in another aspect.

Ye Feng had no time to waste here, the fact that Blake had still not seen reality clearly even at this point was truly making Ye Feng speechless as well.

"Why must I compete with you?" Ye Feng was half smiling as he looked at Blake, even earlier, he had not thought of killing Blake. That was because Blake might be arrogant but he had no other flaws.

But the fact that Blake refused to let him go made Ye Feng feel very troubled.

He was not here to compete with Blake, even though he won this duel.

Ye Feng still remembered his main objective, he wanted the stage five forging materials from the vice-principal.

"Don't tell me you are afraid of competing?" Blake clearly did not want to let Ye Feng go, at this time, he needed victory to make up for his earlier loss.

Before this, even though Blake had competed with other people in the school and had experienced losses and wins, he had never lost so thoroughly before.

But Ye Feng had no time to spend on this matter anymore: "You want to prove that you are stronger than me?"

Before Blake replied to him, Ye Feng continued to speak: "But why must I spend time proving that I am better than you?"

Blake fell into silence after hearing Ye Feng's words.

"Admitting that you have lost is not a shameful thing."

Ye Feng explained kindly, the truth was that Ye Feng had a deep impression of this suitor of Avril, seeing his currently pathetic state, Ye Feng could not help but feel a sense of gratification.

Ye Feng's patience had been used up after the duel, even though he understood why Blake could not accept this loss and the fact that Ye Feng was superior, it did not mean that Ye Feng was completely fine with his actions.

Ye Feng stopped talking to Blake, he walked past him and left the duel stage, finding a student and asking where the office of the vice-principal was before going in that direction.

Seeing Ye Feng who was leaving, fighting spirit surged in Blake's eyes slowly.

He had to find a chance to compete with Ye Feng in forging, he needed to prove himself.

Blake still felt a little indignant when he looked in the direction of Ye Feng. Before this, Blake was praised by everyone, he had never thought that it was possible for him to lose.

But with the gaze of so many students, Blake was not shameless enough to chase Ye Feng and ask for a rematch.

Thus, Blake could only keep this thought internally as he swore to himself.

No matter what, he was going to defeat Ye Feng in forging.

Chapter 64

: Another Encounter

Ye Feng went in the direction that he was told and arrived at the vice-principal's office, he knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

After hearing that, Ye Feng walked in. The vice-principal who was frowning and researching something stood up in excitement the moment Ye Feng appeared, he did not expect him to come so quickly.

"You came, actually, you could've asked me to pick you up."

No matter where, Ye Feng was someone who every force would try to recruit, he was naturally not going to act arrogantly at this moment.

"May I know your name?" The vice-principal wanted to say something polite at the start, but he realized that he did not know Ye Feng's name, it got a little awkward.

Ye Feng could tell that the vice-principal felt awkward too, he replied: "I am Ye Feng."

"Last time, I was too awed by your extraordinary forging skills, I forgot to ask for your name, it was my fault."

The vice-principal had done the reverse of putting on airs, Ye Feng was someone who did not act arrogantly and would not humiliate a good person for no reason, he did not show any anger on his face now.

Ye Feng was a little embarrassed after hearing the vice-principal's words, he replied: "I understand, I understand."

The two of them maintained a certain level of politeness, they spoke very harmoniously and in a friendly tone, it could even be said that they had certain shared interests which fueled their conversations.

Forging was an important thing for Knights, the fact that Ye Feng agreed to hold lessons here was an extremely lucky thing in the eyes of the vice-principal. Thus, he was not stingy at all, going to retrieve the materials that he promised after some talk.

The vice-principal carefully took out a piece of clothing from a black box: "This is what I found, please take it, I will continue to look for the locations of stage five forging materials in the future."

Ye Feng heard his words and nodded: "I will trouble you then." Next, he looked at the thing that the vice-principal had carefully taken out.

[Lightning Refinement Ore]

Grade: Stage Five Middle-grade

Special Trait: Further strengthens the Lightning Formation.

Even Ye Feng was shocked by the vice-principal's gift, he did not expect that the vice-principal would offer a stage five material soon after they met, and looking at this situation, he seemed to be giving the material to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not act overly polite at this moment, as a Blacksmith, he knew how valuable this stage five material was, he swiftly kept away this lightning refinement ore without hesitation.

Next, he thanked the vice-principal.

Seeing that Ye Feng kept away the lightning refinement ore, the vice-principal felt exceptionally happy instead of feeling heartache, he was very satisfied with this result.

Ye Feng was an impressive Blacksmith, since such a Blacksmith was willing to teach the students of this academy, so what if he wanted these stage five materials?

The vice-principal was certain that Ye Feng's true strength was not what he displayed now.

"It is late now, I will go see the students." Ye Feng stopped wasting time, he directly requested to meet the students as the vice-principal smiled heartily as he looked at Ye Feng.

The fact that Ye Feng was so proactive meant that he was satisfied with this transaction.

"Alright, please come with me, I will bring you to your class." The vice-principal heard Ye Feng's request and immediately smiled, it was obvious that Ye Feng was someone who kept his promise, if they could keep up this relationship, it would be a long term cooperation.

The vice-principal brought Ye Feng out of the office and towards the direction of the classrooms.

The truth was, Ye Feng gained a basic understanding of this Knight's Academy after dueling with Blake, along the way, the vice-principal also explained the details of the academy very clearly.

Ye Feng also did not let down the goodwill of the vice-principal in front of him, he listened to the introduction by the vice-principal along the way, from time to time, the students that they saw also gave them polite greetings. In reality, the students of the Knight's Academy were not few, but compared to the vast campus size, there seemed to be less people.

The students had already arrived by the time the two reached the classroom. Before the vice-principal made the introductions, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, to think that there was actually his acquaintance here. Ye Feng thought so, but did not say something more than that.

The person Ye Feng saw was none other than Blake who tried to compete with himself in forging.

At this point, Blake was also able to see Ye Feng who was standing up there in full view. He felt surprised at seeing Ye Feng here as well.

But immediately, he realized that Ye Feng had gone to see the vice-principal before he left earlier.

Why was he here?

Blake thought about it, but seeing the vice-principal in front of him, he felt that he had already guessed what reason Ye Feng had come for.

Even though he did not know Ye Feng's identity, he could vaguely guess that he was a new transfer student. But he had such a huge background that the vice-principal had to personally bring him here.

Ye Feng looked too young after all, everyone had such similar thoughts as well.

"Blake, is this the guy who fought against you earlier?" Many students had already noticed who Ye Feng was, they subconsciously asked Blake out of uncertainty.

Blake nodded and said: "It's him, he is likely a new transfer student."

Blake felt a sense of excitement in him now, he had originally wanted to find a chance to beat Ye Feng in forging fair and square, he thought that it would take some effort but now, Ye Feng actually came to his class.

Now, he would have no chance to reject the duel, Blake would be able to reclaim victory.

There was no lack of gossip among the students, the truth was that although many people knew Blake lost to an outsider, very few of them actually went to the scene personally. Thus, the ones who went started to fill them in on the situation that had occurred earlier.

After a while, everyone knew of the conflict between them.

As more and more people spoke, the classroom became rowdy and no longer as quiet as before.
