Chapter 65: Lesson

The vice-principal was a little unhappy with the rowdy classroom, his expression turned sullen as he brought Ye Feng up to the podium and said: "Why are you guys being so noisy?"

Seeing that the vice-principal was angry, many of them instantly shut up, the classroom returned to a quiet state as the vice-principal started to introduce Ye Feng to them after it was silent again.

"I'll introduce a person to you. This is your Blacksmith Teacher, his name is Ye Feng, he will teach you guys forging from now on." After saying that, he signaled to Ye Feng with his gaze to step forward on the podium.

Ye Feng nodded and walked up: "Hello students, my name is Ye Feng, I will give you forging classes from now on."

After seeing that the students were quiet, the vice-principal left in satisfaction.

At this time, Ye Feng started to observe the expression of the students.

They were still in a state of temporary shock, they had heard some rumors earlier and found it interesting, most of them were waiting to see how Ye Feng would interact with Blake in the future.

After all, Ye Feng had defeated Blake instantly in the fight earlier, thus, many of them were discussing whether Ye Feng could still defeat Blake easily in a contest of forging.

They were originally waiting to watch a show, but to think that Ye Feng was not a student but their new teacher instead.

The students in the academy understood now that Ye Feng's appearance here with the vice-principal as well as the respectful attitude that the vice-principal showed meant that Ye Feng was not someone who with undeserved reputation, he was someone with true abilities.

Therefore, many people could not help but turn to look at Blake who was also in a deep state of shock, he did not manage to say a single thing.

Seeing Blake who had no idea what happened, the other students understood the situation already. Although they had not competed, they were certain that Ye Feng would win if they had to compete in forging now.

The vice-principal saw that these students were all silent, he knew how they felt. After all, even as the vice-principal, he was initially shocked when he saw Ye Feng's age and abilities, but how Ye Feng was going to gain the recognition of these students was not something he could help with.

"Teacher Ye Feng, you can start your lesson here." The vice-principal smiled and said at Ye Feng before leaving.

After Ye Feng took over the class, the students regained their senses. He looked at these students with a smile, they were actually quite innocent youngsters, their facial expressions exposed their inner thoughts.

"Alright, forget about the rest, we will start our lesson first. As I introduced earlier, my name is Ye Feng and I will be in charge of your forging classes from now on." Ye Feng turned very serious when he was teaching, he was clearly used to such situations and knew how to handle them.

Even though these students were still curious about Ye Feng and Blake's relationship, the atmosphere now was not suitable for gossip, they started to look at Ye Feng as their curiosity towards learning new knowledge emerged, they were students after all.

"Today is the first day I am taking this class, although I heard about your abilities from the vice-principal, I need to see it myself to have a good grasp and understanding, thus, we will talk about the theoretical aspect for now."

Ye Feng was easily proceeding with the lesson: "Even though the goal of forging is to see whether your products are good or bad, and it requires a lot of practice, that does not mean that theory is not important..."

The people who were originally not expecting much from Ye Feng on this matter could not help but straighten their backs when he spoke. Even though he was not talking about profound theories, before today, there were few people who would actually explain such theories to them in detail like this.

Some low-tier forging methods were actually public knowledge, but this did not mean that everyone could follow the methods to produce equipment of the same quality.

Even Blake had stopped showing his arrogant expression, he started to listen to Ye Feng attentively.

But Blake's mood was getting heavier, he could not deny the fact that Ye Feng's teaching was extremely brilliant, he could not find fault with anything Ye Feng said.

But Blake's bad mood was also because of this, he originally wanted to have a forging contest with Ye Feng to show him who was stronger, but the truth was, when he heard Ye Feng's lesson, he already knew that Ye Feng was above him in abilities.

Thinking of this, Blake did not feel any happiness in his heart, especially when he thought of Avril.

Ye Feng's immense strength made him think that he was not good enough for Avril, Blake basically lost all of his mood to listen to the lesson at this point.

Ye Feng could sense Blake's distraction of course, but he did not mind that. The things that he taught were genuine knowledge, it was Blake's loss if he did not listen.

After Ye Feng finished his lesson, many students nodded subconsciously, they had unknowingly written down many notes, they felt deep gratitude towards Ye Feng's teaching.

But right when Ye Feng was about to leave, Blake still approached him: "How did you become a teacher here?"

"Are you questioning the academy?" Ye Feng smiled, he did not say much but his answer was clear — You can refuse to think of me as your teacher, you can even ask the academy to change a new teacher for you.

Blake was silent, he had no objections towards the academy's decision to hire a teacher, but this did not mean that he was going to give up competing with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng saw that Blake was silent, he smiled and walked past him, his time was very precious after all, he could not waste much time on matters like this.

Seeing that Ye Feng was leaving, Blake wanted to stop him as he gritted his teeth and said: "I am still intending to compete in forging techniques with you."

His forging techniques were top tier among his peers, Blake wanted to see what level Ye Feng was at.

Chapter 66: Rejection

The truth was, Ye Feng was a little surprised that Blake still wanted to compete with him. The fact that he was a teacher meant that his skills were at a certain level, there was no doubt about it.

At least, these students were not his match, otherwise, the academy would not have spent the effort to hire him.

But Blake seemed to be unable to accept the fact, he still issued a challenge like this, even the surrounding students were stunned by his words.

The truth was, they also felt that Blake was too stubborn in this matter. In their perspective, Blake was too mindful about the outcome of loss or win, precisely so, many of the students who had a good relationship with him wanted to persuade him to give up.

At this point in time, Blake's actions were simply showing that he overestimated himself.

But Blake swept their hands away from his shoulder, he showed determination in his eyes.

For that one instant, Ye Feng was nearly moved by his spirit, but after a while, Ye Feng rejected Blake again: "I will have to say no."

Many of the surrounding students sighed at this reply, the truth was, they wanted to see Ye Feng's true level of strength, so the rejection was quite a pity for them.

Ye Feng did not bother to look at Blake's expression after getting rejected, this lesson had already taken up a portion of his time, there was no need to continue wasting his precious time on such things.

After all, teaching was not his main objective, his goal had always been forging.

After Ye Feng left the classroom, he went back to his Blacksmith Shop. Once he arrived, he took out the lightning refinement ore that he got from the vice-principal excitedly.

Undeniably, the vice-principal had spent some effort in order to hire him, even though this lightning refinement ore was middle-grade, by inspecting it clearly, it was top tier even among other middle-grade materials.

Ye Feng carefully inspected the lightning refinement ore before starting his first stage five forging attempt, he had an idea of what to do after thorough consideration.

Stage five forging was not a simple matter, even Ye Feng had to put his entire focus onto this ore. He first melted it like usual, before starting to strike on it with his hammer.

As hammering sounds resounded, the impurities within the lightning refinement ore were removed slowly, eventually, Ye Feng had a rather pure lightning refinement ore. In this situation, Ye Feng carefully controlled the fire elemental magic in his body so that he would not accidentally destroy this lightning refinement ore.

Ye Feng's careful approach rewarded him greatly, as he continued to forge, the lightning refinement ore became two-third of its original size, it was quite pure now.

Ye Feng slowly and carefully shaped the lightning refinement ore before carving his formations on it. As Ye Feng concentrated intensely, sweat started to appear on his forehead, his dry clothes also turned damp.

But Ye Feng could not care about his appearance now, his focus was entirely on his forging attempt, there was little time left now!

Ye Feng's gaze shone with determination, even though his current appearance was already very different from usual, as he continued to forge this equipment, Ye Feng could feel his own stamina being drained rapidly.

Even Ye Feng could not help but feel distracted now, how could stage five forging be so intense on stamina? Ye Feng's strength was much higher than back then, but he still felt extremely strained from this forging session, this showed how difficult the attempt was.

Ye Feng's distraction only lasted a moment, he continued to forge the lightning refinement ore afterwards, the shape of a longsword could already be seen as he continued to strike at it.

Ye Feng was entirely meticulous throughout the next period of forging, the carving of formations was extremely crucial now. Stage five materials were not so easy to find, if he failed, even Ye Feng would feel heartache for some time.

But thankfully, Ye Feng was familiar with the carving of such formations, but after he finished, Ye Feng's hands were shaking.

Ye Feng was basically sitting on the ground without caring about his appearance now, after resting for a while, he stood up to check what weapon he had forged.

Afterwards, Ye Feng felt immense joy. The fact that he could forge a stage five weapon meant that his strength had reached the level of a stage five Blacksmith.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage five inferior-grade Lightning Refinement Sword, you have obtained 7000 lightning elemental points, and 7000 fire elemental points."

Hearing the system notification, Ye Feng let out a breath of relief. As his forging abilities grew, the points he could get from forging lower stage weapons got fewer, even stage three and four weapons could not give him much growth anymore.

Thus, Ye Feng had urgently forged this stage five weapon, but after his successful creation of the weapon, Ye Feng could sense from the amount of energy gained that one stage five weapon was not enough to raise his strength.

Even though he gained a lot from this forging session, to truly raise his cultivation level, he needed to forge a large number of stage five weapons.

"Are you done forging?" At this time, a voice broke Ye Feng's train of thoughts, he looked up and saw that Avril had been standing near him for some time now.

"When did you get here!" Surprise was shown on Ye Feng's face, he did not expect to see Avril now as he had been completely immersed in his forging session.

The truth was that Avril came today when Ye Feng was busy forging this weapon. She saw that he was focused on this so she did not interrupt him, instead, quietly watching the entire process of his forging session by his side.

Chapter 67: Relaxation Time

"I came when you were forging, so I did not interrupt you." Avril saw that Ye Feng was looking pretty rough, she smiled and said.

The truth was, they had not seen each other for some time, when Ye Feng looked at Avril, he felt a surreal feeling.

But soon, Avril continued to speak: "But how could I have guessed that someone did not discover I am here even after finishing the forging session."

Even though she was complaining, from Avril's tone, one could hear a bit of tender loving care, as well as a hint of petulance.

Seeing Avril's expression, Ye Feng knew that she was not angry with him, he also smiled and asked: "Then how should I make it up to you?"

Avril saw that even though Ye Feng was extremely tired now, he was still concerned with her feelings. She had no complaints left as she said to him lovingly: "You are too dirty, go and wash up."

After Avril said that, Ye Feng remembered his current condition and felt a bit helpless. Earlier, he had only cared about his forging session, and now, he focused on Avril. He had not taken a look at himself.

The reason why he felt helpless was because he had always kept himself clean in front of Avril even though he had gone through many difficult situations and had been in even worse states in the past.

"Oh you, after such a long time, you are starting to despise me." Saying so, he wanted to jump on Avril who also moved side after seeing his movement.

She had washed up in the academy before coming to meet Ye Feng. As a girl, she naturally wanted her lover to see her in a beautiful state, that was normal right? Avril did exactly that.

She only came to meet Ye Feng after that.

The truth was, she did not despise Ye Feng at all, but the two of them still played around for some time. Even though Avril's hair got a little messy afterwards, she did not mind it either.

Ye Feng rubbed the top of Avril's head before heading to the shower and cleaning up.

Seeing Ye Feng like this, Avril smiled to herself.

After a refreshing shower, Ye Feng came out in fresh clothes as he found Avril staring at him blankly.

"What are you thinking of?" Ye Feng sneaked up to Avril and spoke by her ear.

"Thinking of you... Why are you out so quickly?" Avril did not notice him initially, but when she spoke, she realized something wrong and immediately asked in a shy and embarrassed tone.

She gave Ye Feng a light punch.

Ye Feng could feel Avril's emotions now as well, he did not dodge her, instead, enduring her fist before pulling her arms, dragging her body towards him and hugging her.

Avril wanted to struggle initially, but Ye Feng hugged her tightly, he whispered in her ear: "I have not seen you for so long, let me hug you for a while."

After hearing his words, Avril felt like her insides had melted, she stopped moving and allowed Ye Feng to hug her.

Seeing that Avril was lying in his arms so obediently, Ye Feng was very satisfied, after all, she was the person he loved the most.

"You got much skinnier this time." When Ye Feng hugged Avril, he could tell that she was thinner than before.

Avril smiled: "Being outside is definitely less comfortable than being home, I am already used to it. Furthermore, which girl will not like being skinnier if possible?"

Ye Feng did not say much after hearing that, this was their rare chance to stay together, he was not going to ruin the mood by continuing the conversation.

Seeing that Ye Feng was not speaking, Avril initiated the conversation: "I heard that you are considered my teacher now."

Sometimes, Ye Feng had to admit that Avril had great foresight. If she did not suggest that he should start a Blacksmith Shop here, he would not have gained such huge rewards.

After Avril returned, she found out about the fact that Ye Feng became a teacher in the academy, afterwards, she thought of Blake whose competition with Ye Feng was now a hot topic in the academy that everyone spoke of.

Avril did not have to spend much effort to understand the situation, Ye Feng also did not expect that Avril would be kept in the dark about it, he nodded: "Indeed, I also met your suitor."

After hearing about Blake, Avril was not very happy: "Don't care about that lunatic, did he approach you and cause trouble? I will go talk to him." Saying so, Avril tried to get out of Ye Feng's hug.

At this time, Ye Feng was caught between laughter and tears, he pulled Avril and said: "Alright, alright. I taught him a lesson before he was able to do anything. Aren't you clear of my strength?"

After hearing Ye Feng's words, Avril relaxed a little. She knew deeply how strong Ye Feng actually was, there was no way for him to suffer a loss against Blake.

She had lost her reasoning earlier when she got agitated.

Ye Feng knew how Avril felt as well, he smiled and said: "But if you want to stand up for me in this matter, I won't mind it."

Blake was a top performing student, initially, he had thought too highly of himself which caused him to suffer such a terrible loss in the end. But thankfully, he was not a person of poor conduct normally, thus, not many people mocked him afterwards.

Ye Feng had said this precisely because he knew about that, he was most satisfied when he saw Avril trying to protect him wholeheartedly.

Avril still wanted to speak but Ye Feng placed his finger on her lips: "We only have so few chances to meet, don't think of other men now."

Avril laughed as she looked at Ye Feng's expression, she agreed to his request without second thought. The two of them only had each other in their hearts, they could not help but feel excited when they looked into each other's eyes.

For some reason, after a while, the two of them hugged again, engaging in exciting activities once more.

Chapter 68: Condition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Soon, the second day arrived. Separation often came quickly, after staying with Ye Feng for one night, Avril returned to the academy officially.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng stayed in his Blacksmith Shop to continue forging weapons and raising his strength.

Undeniably, Ye Feng's successful attempt at forging a stage five weapon the previous day was extremely helpful for his future forging sessions.

Even though he did not have much stage five materials, he still had a lot of stage four and three materials left, he would not stop his forging now.

As Ye Feng's strength continued to rise, his forging speed also became faster and smoother. The only pity was that Ye Feng lacked stage five materials, thus, after his success yesterday, he still continued to forge stage three and four weapons.

Ye Feng worked very hard in forging, as he continued to work and forge more weapons, the materials were gradually expended by him.

"The materials are not enough for me." Ye Feng sighed, forging was basically his entire life, thus, whenever Ye Feng found any good materials, he would keep some of them. But no matter how much materials he had, the speed of usage was always higher.

Ye Feng looked at his depleted stock of materials as he stopped wasting time, he started to pack up.

He carefully calculated the weapons in his hand and his current funds as he prepared to head to Aden City and see if he could get some higher grade materials there.

But before Ye Feng set off, Blake came to find him again, Ye Feng felt a headache seeing his appearance, he did not want Blake to ruin his trip of going out at this time.

"I said before, I will not compete with you." Ye Feng's headache intensified as he saw Blake approaching him, the stubbornness that Blake had in this matter was simply too troublesome for Ye Feng on a whole.

Blake also knew that Ye Feng was not very welcoming to him because of this matter, but the competition with Ye Feng was more important than anything else, he had come to this Blacksmith Shop from the academy just for this matter.

Blake's expression was no longer high and mighty like before, he became more humble and polite, he had evidently grown a lot after suffering a loss from Ye Feng.

"I still want to have a match with you." Blake looked at Ye Feng seriously, persistence could be seen in his eyes. He had already confirmed that Ye Feng was someone with true skills, he was not lying.

But on this matter, Blake still wanted Ye Feng to compete with him so that he could see the difference between them.

"Earlier, I had a poor attitude, I apologize to you. But I still want to compete in forging with you, I will not make you waste your time for nothing." Blake saw that Ye Feng was not speaking, he started to speak on his own, he held a firm attitude on this matter that would not waver.

Ye Feng looked at Blake with raised brows, he wanted to see what Blake had that could change his mind.

"Normally speaking, such contests require mutual agreement on bets." Blake spoke slowly while observing Ye Feng's expression: "You only have to compete with me, you do not need to take out an equivalent bet. If you win, these will all be yours."

Saying so, he took out some things and placed them on the table before Ye Feng.

Ye Feng looked at the things that Blake brought out, they were all stage four materials that were precious to many Blacksmiths, but these were not enough to change Ye Feng's mind.

He was a stage five Blacksmith, he had already made many stage four weapons at this point, such stage four materials were not very attractive to him. But the fact that Blake was able to bet so many stage four materials made Ye Feng slightly surprised.

"No need, I do not need these stage four materials." Ye Feng took a look and rejected Blake who did not expect that his offer of stage four materials would be rejected so easily.

Originally, Blake wanted to use reverse psychology, but with the previous lesson after his rash action, Blake was able to take in a deep breath to calm his temper.

"What will it take for you to compete with me?"

Blake looked at Ye Feng: "As long as I can do it, I will do anything."

Ye Feng looked at Blake, the truth was, he did not know why Blake was so insistent on competing with him, but the situation was that Blake had an extremely firm attitude regarding this.

And because Blake was able to bring out so many stage four materials at once, it meant that he had abundant wealth, if he said that, Ye Feng had no reason not to entertain him.

"How about this, if you really want to compete with me, bring me stage five materials."

Right when Blake started feeling excited about this possibility, he took in a sharp breath upon hearing the phrase 'stage five materials', after all, materials of such a level were very rare.

But on this matter, he could not say that Ye Feng was asking for too much, he asked to confirm: "Stage five materials?"

Ye Feng nodded, confirming that Blake's hearing was fine, he said: "Indeed, you heard right, I want a stage five material."

For a stage five material, he went to the academy to be a teacher. If Blake could really bring stage five materials to the table, Ye Feng would definitely agree to having this competition between them.

After all, it was not something that would cause him any loss, if the other party wanted to be beaten so badly, it was not like he could not grant his wish.

Ye Feng thought about it and explained to Blake: "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you in this. I will bet using this thing."

Saying so, Ye Feng took out the stage five weapon that he forged the previous day, the Lightning Refinement Sword.

"This is a stage five inferior-grade weapon, Lightning Refinement Sword." Ye Feng explained to Blake in a good mood: "If you compete with me using a stage five material, I will use this Lightning Refinement Sword as my bet. That way, the bets will be more even, it will depend on whether you agree to this or not."

Ye Feng tossed the choice to Blake, he wanted to see what Blake would choose in this situation.

Chapter 69: Agreeing

Blake felt shocked when he saw the stage five weapon in Ye Feng's hand.

As a Blacksmith, he knew the value of a stage five weapon, but he did not think that Ye Feng would be able to own one and even use it to bet so easily.

He could not help but feel shocked by this stage five weapon, at this point in time, he had already recognized Ye Feng as an expert, but he did not think that Ye Feng would have a stage five weapon.

There was no need for Ye Feng to speak anymore, Blake directly went to check Ye Feng's weapon.

The truth was, this was quite rude, but he could not care about that now.

The act of Blake checking the weapon was also not stopped by Ye Feng, he knew that this was the best way for Blake to recognize that he had a genuine stage five weapon, it had the greatest benefit for him.

When inspecting the weapon, Blake also realized that he had been too rude, he awkwardly walked away from the Lightning Refinement Sword but his gaze lingered on it.

Blake was not a fool, he knew what a stage five weapon meant. As a Blacksmith, he understood that this stage five weapon that Ye Feng had was not fake, thus, he could basically confirm that Ye Feng was the owner of a stage five weapon.

Blake's expression became slightly calm again, it was the best he could do, internally, he felt extremely curious about Ye Feng's identity.

What kind of person was Ye Feng? Why could he take out a stage five weapon so easily?

Such questions revolved around Blake's mind, in this situation, he could not help but feel curious.

Precisely because of this, Blake thought about it and agreed to Ye Feng's condition: "I can promise you this, but you know the value and rarity of stage five materials as well, I need time to get one."

Blake's reply was within Ye Feng's expectations: "Alright, we can compete here after you are done getting the materials."

"Then we have a deal."

"Deal."

Although he still did not understand why Blake insisted on a competition, all of the earlier signs showed that he was definitely not weaker than Blake.

After seeing that Ye Feng agreed to the competition, Blake sighed in relief. In the past, he had said many inappropriate things because of his arrogance, thus, many people were waiting to see him blunder and fail.

Blake also knew that his arrogance caused him to greatly underestimate Ye Feng's abilities, because of that, in their previous duel, Ye Feng completely dominated him without any chance of fighting back.

This was undoubtedly an extremely embarrassing event for Blake, but the reason why he was so stubborn in wanting to compete with Ye Feng in forging skills was not because he wanted to prove he was stronger than Ye Feng. Instead, he only wanted to see the difference between him and Ye Feng.

Furthermore, Blake still held a bit of hope in this matter — What if?

What if he really could beat Ye Feng?

Furthermore, Blake was filled with curiosity regarding Ye Feng, he wanted to know what Ye Feng's true forging skills were.

The reason why he dared to provoke Ye Feng earlier was because he had heard of Ye Feng's strength, otherwise, he would not have dared to repeatedly provoke an expert. If his information was not wrong, then this only proved one terrifying fact —

Ye Feng had raised his strength to a shocking level in a short period of time.

Thus, even when Ye Feng gave an absurd request like betting using stage five materials, Blake agreed to it after some consideration.

After Ye Feng agreed to the competition with Blake, the latter left quickly.

For the next few days, Blake did not show up even once. During this period, for the first time in his life, Ye Feng wished that Blake would come to him sooner.

But after a week, Blake still showed up. He looked at Ye Feng without speaking while putting some things on the table.

The bag was very heavy, once it landed on the table, there was a loud thud.

But Ye Feng did not open the bag, the truth was that he could basically be sure that Blake would not deceive him in such a matter.

"I've brought what you want, we can compete now, right?" Blake looked at Ye Feng and said.

Blake indicated to Ye Feng to open up the bag and inspect the content, but at this point, Ye Feng rejected the offer. Blake was still a reliable person when it came to matters like this.

"No need to inspect it, I trust you." Ye Feng looked at Blake and rejected the offer to check the bag.

Ye Feng had not thought that Blake would really be able to find stage five materials, but since he had made a promise, Ye Feng would not go back on his word: "Earlier, I said that we can compete if you bring me stage five materials. Since you've brought them, we can compete now."

Saying so, Ye Feng brought out the Lightning Refinement Sword that he was using as a bet, he looked at Blake.

Blake received the Lightning Refinement Sword from Ye Feng, the fact was that last time, he did not inspect it carefully, but now, this was a great chance. Blake would not waste the opportunity to observe it.

When the Lightning Refinement Sword appeared, Blake's eyes widened. Last time, he had only confirmed that this was a genuine sword, but he had still underestimated the quality of this sword.

This was definitely a stage five middle-grade weapon.

Why did Ye Feng possess such a thing?

Blake looked at this Lightning Refinement Sword as a thought emerged in his mind, he definitely had to get this sword.

The only thing stopping him was this competition.

If he won, this sword would become his possession.

Chapter 70: Pointers

Ye Feng looked ahead and saw Blake's expression, immediately realizing what he was thinking.

The rarity and value of a stage five weapon was obvious to a common person, not to mention a Blacksmith like Blake who would be even clearer of its use.

Precisely because of this reason, Blake made up his mind to compete with Ye Feng.

Regarding such a weapon, no matter who saw it, they would not be able to hold in their desire and remain calm. Thus, even for Blake, he was very tempted by this sword.

And because of that, even though Ye Feng could tell that Blake was not calm at all when he saw this sword, he did not say anything.

"How will we compete?" Ye Feng looked at Blake and asked the question.

As a Blacksmith, Ye Feng had understood long ago that he would not lose this competition, thus, he let Blake decide the rules generously.

Blake was stunned by this, even though he had thought of countless ways to try and win this competition, he did not have any confidence towards deciding the actual details of this competition.

There were only so many types of competitions, Blake was not willing to take advantage of Ye Feng in this matter, after seeing that Ye Feng allowed him to decide the rules, he started to think.

Blake had not really thought of how this competition should be held, after thinking about it for some time, he looked at Ye Feng hesitantly: "What materials do you have?"

Ye Feng saw that Blake asked him this question and did not hide anything, he stepped aside and let Blake take a look at his storage.

Even though Ye Feng had been forging things non-stop in order to raise his strength, causing his stock of materials to be low, he was still able to hold this single competition without much problems.

Blake also looked at Ye Feng's stock of materials with much interest, he sighed in amazement internally, not having expected Ye Feng to own mostly stage three and four materials. This proved that Ye Feng was at least a stage three Blacksmith, he could even be a stage four Blacksmith.

After confirming his thoughts, Blake spoke in a more polite manner: "How about this, let's pick some materials that we need for forging, after that, we can use those materials to forge a weapon and the victor will be decided by the grade of the product."

This competition seemed very fair, Ye Feng only raised his brows but did not state any objections to this, since both sides did not have any objections to this rule, the competition started as well.

The truth was, Blake had made serious preparation beforehand, after seeing the materials, he found the things that he needed quickly. In contrast, Ye Feng chose his materials more casually.

In order to raise his strength, Ye Feng had gotten familiar with most of the materials here, he had a natural advantage in this competition without doubt.

Thus, letting Blake choose his materials first was a natural thing for Ye Feng.

After seeing Ye Feng's casual mood, Blake became quite alerted internally, although this did not mean much, it showed that Ye Feng was very experienced in forging.

Especially earlier, even though Blake was not listening to Ye Feng's lessons attentively, at the very start, he had listened attentively and knew that Ye Feng had a deep foundation in forging.

Precisely because of his foundation, he was so calm and composed in such a situation.

Forging was simply too easy and natural for Ye Feng at this point, especially in terms of stage four weapons.

Starting a fire, preparing and purifying materials, followed by continuous hammer strikes, this process was extremely familiar to Ye Feng who had done so countless times, but when he was forging, he still kept his full focus on each process.

Ye Feng continued to mobilize the fire elements in his body while controlling the temperature of the flame as he hammered away.

In this situation, Ye Feng was like a fish in water, his movements were elegant and fluid, he completed the purification process very quickly and started with the shaping of the weapon by continuously striking it.

After that, as the carving of formations was an extremely familiar process to Ye Feng, in a while, he succeeded in forging his weapon.

At this time, Ye Feng finally had time to look at Blake.

When he turned around, he found that Blake had just started.

Originally, Blake was already a peak stage three Blacksmith, in order to deal with this competition, he did not choose a safer option but tried to challenge himself and reach the realm of stage four.

Ye Feng could see Blake's abilities, even though this person was quite proud, in a certain perspective, he did have some proper skills. That was also part of the reason why Blake was so arrogant when he came to talk about Avril's matter.

He took mostly stage four materials for this forging attempt.

Maybe because he was not familiar with the materials that he chose this time, Blake was very careful and meticulous when he underwent the forging, but being careful did not mean that his attempt was definitely successful.

Ye Feng was quite impressed by Blake's choice, it seemed that he had placed great importance on this competition and was determined to win.

After a while, Blake was already showing signs of failing this attempt at forging.

At this time, Ye Feng could not help but give some pointers as he felt appreciative of Blake's talent: "Lower the temperature, your materials cannot stand such a strong fire."

Even though the two were competing, after hearing Ye Feng's words, Blake subconsciously followed the instructions and did just that, afterwards, he realized that Ye Feng had helped him out.

At this time, Ye Feng did not hide anything, he watched Blake attentively as he forged, each time there was a mistake, Ye Feng would remind him about it.

With Ye Feng's reminders and pointers, Blake's forging attempt did not have many problems, because of Ye Feng's continuous reminders, Blake's forging attempt was very successful in fact.

After receiving Ye Feng's pointers, Blake successfully forged his own stage four weapon.

Chapter 71: Becoming His Disciple

After Blake successfully forged a stage four weapon, this competition reached an end.

Blake did not ask about the result of this contest, he knew internally that since Ye Feng was able to instruct and guide him on how to forge a stage four weapon, it meant that Ye Feng's abilities were above him.

In actuality, Blake was prepared for this result from the start, thus, he was not too upset when this result came true.

After taking a deep breath to alleviate his fatigue of intense forging, he looked at Ye Feng in the eyes: "I lost, I lost completely."

If someone told Blake ten days ago that a person would defeat him in both forging skills and fighting strength, Blake would think that he is joking around. But now, this had happened right before his very eyes.

After realizing that he lost, Blake still showed a relatively cool composure: "I am simply too far away from you now, according to our agreement, since you win, these materials are yours."

Ye Feng looked at this humble Blake and developed some feelings of appreciation for his talent: "I think that you had some gains in this competition as well."

Blake nodded as he agreed with these words.

Blake did not find that it was a loss for him overall, he said: "Thank you for the guidance earlier, also... for the previous matter... I apologize."

After recognizing the difference in both of their strengths, Blake's tone and mannerism became much more polite, while Ye Feng was not someone who liked to take such matters to heart.

"No worry, I have already forgotten about it." Ye Feng nodded, the truth was, he did not care about this issue as much as Blake thought. After all, he could have defeated Blake when he first came to challenge him, but Ye Feng did not do so.

Now, Ye Feng accepted Blake's apology without an issue.

"I wonder if you are interested in taking me in as your disciple?" After a moment of silence, Blake asked the question. This was an unthinkable question that many people would not expect him to ask, but Blake still went ahead with it.

Even Ye Feng was stunned after hearing Blake's question.

After all, this entire situation had resulted from their earlier conflict, now that Blake initiated the request to become Ye Feng's disciple, his expression showed that he was serious about the matter and was not lying.

Since he wanted to become a disciple, the choice became Ye Feng's, his love rival wanted to become his disciple after losing this competition. Ye Feng found it quite unbelievable and surreal.

"I know that I was childish back then, I even harmed you in a certain way, but I am serious about becoming your disciple now." Blake was afraid that Ye Feng would not agree, he quickly added.

Ye Feng thought about it before agreeing to Blake's request.

This master-disciple ceremony was very low-profile and exceptionally successful, Blake could be said to have offered his stage five materials to Ye Feng in an extremely polite manner.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng handed over his Lightning Refinement Sword to Blake.

Blake did not expect Ye Feng to do this, before he asked for the reason, Ye Feng said: "In this matter, I will not take advantage of you."

The truth was, Ye Feng appreciated Blake as a person, it was not an issue for a person to commit mistakes, the important thing was that this person had the capacity to admit his mistakes, he had to pay the price and change his ways.

Blake's gaze towards Ye Feng could be said to be a little strange now, he knew his precious stage five weapons were. The value of stage five weapons and materials was simply too different, the vast disparity was caused by the high failure rate of forging stage five weapons, making the end product much more precious.

"Kid, you are quite capable to have found so many stage five materials in such a short time."

Ye Feng tossed the bag lightly in his hand as he said.

Regarding this, Blake showed a sign of embarrassment as he quickly said: "Actually, without my family's help, I would not have been able to gather all these in such a short time."

The truth was, Blake spent merely a week collecting all these materials, it was an unbelievable thing for a normal person. On this matter, it showed that Blake's family had an extremely deep foundation and influence.

Even though Blake did not make a huge contribution in this matter, Ye Feng was not in the mood or had the desire to discuss it. As a powerful Blacksmith, he had an extremely high status, he was someone who all the various royalties and powerful forces fought over.

But now that Blake mentioned it, Ye Feng wanted to understand more things about them, after all, he did not want to gain new enemies in this world for no reason.

It was certain that Blake had to pay a price in order to bring so many stage five materials this time.

Blake saw the blank gaze that Ye Feng had and felt a little helpless. His family was extremely renowned throughout the school, everyone wanted to get associated with him just to get that connection with his family.

But now, seeing Ye Feng's blank expression, Blake was certain that he had no idea what Blake's family was. Thus, he started to explain: "I am from Aden City's Tevez clan."

In a certain way, the name of the Tevez clan was not something that Ye Feng was completely unfamiliar with. After all, there were only four top-tier clans in Aden City, the Tevez clan was one of these four.

The people in the city also called the four of them, including the Tevez clan, the four great clans.

The Tevez clan had high status in Aden City, it had extremely great wealth and many of the businesses in Aden City belonged to them.

Blake was also the young master of the Tevez clan.

Even if Blake did not explain this, Ye Feng still knew some of the general information regarding them.

Precisely so, there was a good explanation for why Blake could find all these materials in such a short time.

When Blake returned home that day, he received a lot of attention from many people. Regarding this, Blake rubbed his nose and recalled the thing that he forgot earlier. It was the matter of him bringing materials to compete with Ye Feng, this was something that his father did not know about.

Thus, the moment Blake reached home, he saw his father sitting authoritatively on his seat and waiting for his son's return.

"Father." Blake mustered his courage and shouted.

"What did you do?" This person looked at Blake with an authoritative gaze filled with seriousness, Blake knew from his father's expression that he would not get away easily today.

It was not a huge problem that he went to get stage five materials, the issue was that they were rare and hard to obtain, and he had given about half of the materials to Ye Feng.

Currently, anything that he did could not be hidden from his father. The fact that his father did not stop him initially was because he understood what was more important, the stage five materials that were material wealth or his own son.

It was not shocking that his father had already found out what happened.

Blake was not stupid after all, he had caused a huge commotion earlier, how could his father be deceived? But initially, he thought that he could get past this problem by defeating Ye Feng with his own strength.

But now, this result was something that Blake could accept. He looked at his father and did not speak, instead he took out the stage five Lightning Refinement Sword that Ye Feng gave to him.

This time, Blake's father was stunned instead. He was someone who had gone through many things and seen many people, he could tell what grade this weapon was, and precisely so, this became one of the rare times that Blake's father turned silent.

Looking at this Lightning Refinement Sword, Blake's father could not care about anything else, he held up this sword and inspected it carefully without caring about his demeanor.

Ye Feng's forging skills were very impressive, even though this was his first stage five weapon, it still contained a lot of profundity and extraordinary craftsmanship.

"How did you get such a weapon?"

He was not an ignorant person, the moment he saw the weapon his son took out, he knew that those stage five materials that were given away could not compare in value. His son had earned a huge amount from this.

On this matter, even Blake knew that it was an extremely rare situation for top clans like his, especially after he learned that this weapon was forged by Ye Feng personally, his admiration and idolization towards Ye Feng became incomparable.

Originally, many people came because of the matter of stage five materials, but after seeing Blake's stage five weapon, they all became very excited.

They were waiting for Blake's father to finish inspecting this weapon first before they could go and look at it themselves.

But this would depend on Blake's decision. Thus, while many of them fought over the chance to look at the weapon in a frenzy, they also regained their cool after some time and looked towards Blake with a complex gaze.

"Young master, how did you obtain such a weapon?"

Everyone here was Blake's senior, as a member of the Tevez clan, Blake also understood the significance of such a weapon to his clan.

Furthermore, Blake had to explain this situation to his father regardless, he only intentionally changed the story. Instead of Ye Feng being someone he was going to beat, he became a person that was praised immensely.

At this time, Blake stopped hiding the truth, he explained the entire situation, including the time he lost to Ye Feng in combat.

Even Blake's father did not expect that this outcome was caused by jealousy over a girl. The result was that his son could forge stage four weapons now while his master could forge stage five weapons.

Because of this result, the fact that his son lost some stage five materials became a good thing instead of a problem, it showed that he had a resolute and decisive personality.

On this night, the members of the Tevez clan could barely get any sleep because of what Blake said. After an analysis, the clan decided to pay Ye Feng a visit on the second day.

Thus, on the second day, the members of the Tevez clan paid a visit to Ye Feng.

Regarding this, Ye Feng had already encountered such situations many times before, he did not put up airs and only said that he would forge weapons for them, his condition was very simple — prepare the materials yourselves.

This was definitely not an overbearing condition, the reason why Ye Feng did this was to raise his strength, he did not care about profits or earnings, both sides could cooperate in this win-win situation.

Looking at the stage five materials before him, even Ye Feng could not imagine that these precious stage five materials that were barely sold in the market were displayed like cheap grass on his table.

Ye Feng was very serious when it came to forging, the moment he received these materials, he had an idea on how to use them in his forging, he had an idea on what formations he should carve already. Thus, this forging session was much easier than the first attempt."

The process was also a chance for Ye Feng to learn and deepen his foundations, after some time, he quickly grasped and familiarized himself with the forging methods for stage five materials.

On this morning, hammer strikes could be heard from Ye Feng's shop without stopping.

He continued to purify materials, shape them, and controlled the fire while adding in new formations. Ye Feng's actions were becoming smoother and more fluid, as his weapons started to enter the market, his fame also rose correspondingly.

Because of the Tevez clan, stage five weapons were naturally not sold to the market, but Ye Feng still had many stage three and four weapons that he made earlier. After the Tevez clan picked those that they wanted, they sold the rest into the market and did not conceal the fact that Ye Feng made them. Thus, Aden City went into a commotion because of Ye Feng.

Chapter 73: Arrival and Provocation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Ye Feng's weapons entered the market, his reputation also started to rise as his name became renowned.

Almost everyone knew that Ye Feng could forge stage three and four weapons. Blacksmithing was an incredibly lucrative occupation to begin with, as Ye Feng's reputation rose, more and more people came to him to forge weapons.

Looking at these people who came unceasingly, Ye Feng became very busy, almost everyone came to forge something, many of them even fought each other while queuing and trying to get an earlier position.

Ye Feng looked at this chaotic situation and considered the issue of a lack of rules, after some thinking, he decided that this could not go on.

In the past, he allowed this because he wanted more people to find him, but now, this goal had been achieved already.

Next, everyone saw a black board near the entrance of the Blacksmith Shop.

On the black board, a list was written regarding the grade of materials needed for him to accept the request for forging. Ye Feng thought that this would deter many people from finding him, after all, the offer of free forging did attract a batch of people on its own.

As this offer ended, although these people would still choose him if they wanted to, they would have more competitive options then.

But Ye Feng did not expect that even though he listed a request to trade materials for forging attempts, many people still came to him for such matters regarding forging.

The truth was, Ye Feng did not know that because he had not failed once in this long period of forging, it was enough for him to outclass all the other Blacksmiths.

Thus, as Ye Feng's reputation got larger, more and more people came to find him, and because of them, Ye Feng gained a large number of materials again. Although they were mostly stage three and four, there were many benefits in keeping them.

They were able to replenish his stock of materials, allowing Ye Feng to live a fulfilling month of forging these materials.

As he did not need to think of ways to get materials, Ye Feng was quite satisfied with the outcome. In many situations, the attempt at getting his own materials was much harder than forging a weapon for someone.

Furthermore, when he forged things, he would gain strength as well.

Forging was a type of method to raise Ye Feng's strength, after the Tevez clan found out about Ye Feng's abilities, they were not stingy about stage five materials, they basically passed all the stage five materials they could find to him.

As Ye Feng forged more things, his strength also grew greatly, although these stage three and four weapons could not raise his strength much, the sheer quantity he forged made a significant impact.

With these non-stop orders that came in, Ye Feng could feel that his strength was not far from breaking through.

"At this point, I should be able to reach Silver Knight level by forging another fifteen stage five weapons." Everyone had the aspiration to get stronger, Ye Feng was no exception.

These years, because of his strength, Ye Feng had already seen many aspects of the world. Thus, he was calm and composed while thinking of his potential breakthrough now.

"Brother Ye Feng!"

Ye Feng heard someone calling him and subconsciously showed a gentle smile, as expected, the person who came was Avril.

This period of time was no doubt extremely blissful to Ye Feng. After Avril ended the busy period of heading to outdoor missions consecutively, she started to find him at his shop every few days.

Each time she came, she would bring some things that she made herself.

In Avril's perspective, Ye Feng's life was very tough, she wanted her little gifts to comfort him after a long day of work. Precisely so, Ye Feng felt like he was living a blissful life.

While forging things, Ye Feng could also eat the things that Avril made, this was really an enjoyable time, and because he also taught her things while she cultivated, during this period of time, her strength also grew rapidly along with his guidance.

Precisely so, Avril enjoyed staying by Ye Feng's side even more.

Regarding this, Ye Feng was very happy internally, seeing that Avril was running towards him, he spread his arms and hugged her while asking: "Why are you here?"

"I miss you, and I have already learned the things that you taught me yesterday."

Ye Feng listened to Avril while showing a bright gaze in his eyes: "Go, let's go test it out."

Avril's talent was not poor, she was very hardworking when it came to cultivating, it was natural that she could keep up with Ye Feng's teachings. The two of them were very satisfied with their current lifestyles.

But the situation in the City of Chaos was different.

As the successor of the Divine Forging tribe, Claude did not live a luxurious life like what others thought, he was still forging items in the Blacksmith Shop everyday.

On this day, a special guest came to Claude's shop, the reason why this was a special person was because this was also a Blacksmith, he did not conceal his own status and objective, he looked at Claude straight in the eye.

"My name is Kimmich, I am a dwarf." The guest introduced himself, but Claude was not used to people like this who spoke so straightforwardly.

"Hello, what is the matter?" Although he did not really like this Kimmich person, Claude still showed the most basic respect.

But this person did not do the same, he said: "Nothing much, I came here to defeat you."

Claude was stunned, he looked towards this dwarf called Kimmich, he thought for a while internally before remembering who this Kimmich was, he was a member of the Iron Hammer tribe.

The members of the Iron Hammer tribe basically forged for a living, this Kimmich was a genius of his generation for the last few years in the Iron Hammer tribe.

But Kimmich was not the number one person in the Iron Hammer tribe, he was publicly recognized to be third place in his tribe in terms of forging techniques.

Kimmich came here and proclaimed he would defeat Claude, this rude action definitely had some sort of hidden objective in it, Claude would not believe otherwise.

Kimmich casted a provocative gaze towards Claude as he asked sinisterly: "Do you dare to compete with me?"

Chapter 74: Defeat

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Claude did not expect that this person called Kimmich would be so rude at their first encounter, his tone also became tougher as a result as he rebuked: "Sorry, I do not want to compete with you."

Kimmich had not thought that Claude would reject him outright like this, he became rather unhappy: "Why did you reject me?"

"Before coming here, you should have learned how to respect others." At this time, Claude was basically very angry, he did not speak in a polite tone anymore.

Kimmich looked at Claude, not expecting him to speak in such a lecturing tone, he showed unhappiness on his face, but this was not something that could affect the current situation: "Don't tell me you are rejecting this because you think you can't win?"

Claude frowned and looked at this guy in front of him. For some reason, earlier, Kimmich gave him an extremely uncomfortable feeling, now, Claude knew what he had such a sensation.

It was because Kimmich had no basic respect for people, he felt that winning was a natural thing for him, thus, because of such a complex, he spoke in an arrogant tone.

"If that is what you think, there is nothing I can do about it." Claude had lived for so many years, such reverse psychology had no effect on him.

Thus, he also did not show any courtesy anymore.

Kimmich looked towards Claude with a gaze of disdain, it seemed like this result was expected, he said: "I heard you have a master? If your master knew that you are so useless, he will definitely regret his choice."

"His regret does not matter, there is nothing that can change this situation now." Claude knew that the more uncaring he sounded, the more upset Kimmich would be.

But Claude did not expect that Kimmich would be so stubborn on this matter, he looked at Claude who was trying to be calm and said: "I guess your teacher is a coward like you, whenever there is a challenge, he will hide inside his shell."

Claude had a carefree nature, but that was only if Ye Feng was not implicated, if anyone spoke ill of Ye Feng, he would attack like a rabid dog.

After hearing Kimmich's words, Claude's expression turned ugly: "You can insult me, but you cannot insult my master."

"He is just someone with fame but no ability."

Claude felt that a gush of blood was charging to his brain, he knew at this time that he could not avoid the matter, this was simply a full-on provocation by the other party.

Claude was not someone who would cause trouble, but when trouble came to him, he would not be afraid to face it.

"Since you insulted my master, we will have no choice but to compete."

At this time, Claude started to prepare his materials, while Kimmich smiled faintly as he saw Claude getting to work, he was very satisfied with this outcome.

One side was filled with disdain, the other was overwhelmed with anger, in this situation, the two decided the rules of the contest very easily.

Claude and Kimmich had the same materials in their hands, they were going to forge the same thing and compete to see which one was superior to decide the winner.

In this forging contest, Kimmich was extremely confident at the start, until he turned to look at Claude's movement.

Normally speaking, no Blacksmith would get distracted at a time like this, but Kimmich felt that he could win, which was why he spent several seconds to turn and look at Claude's actions.

But once he looked, he found some issues. At this time, Kimmich realized that Claude was superior to him in forging skills.

But how could he let this victory slip away?

At this point, Kimmich stared at Claude fixedly, he had to be the best Blacksmith, the easiest way was to defeat Claude.

But with just his strength, Kimmich felt that it was too difficult to realize that goal.

"No, I cannot lose." Kimmich thought to himself internally, no matter what, he had to win.

As he thought of that, he started to take action on his side, while Claude had absolutely no idea what Kimmich was planning.

Because Kimmich insulted Ye Feng earlier with his words, Claude became extremely furious, he was fully focused on forging his weapon now using these materials, to make sure that Ye Feng's reputation was not tarnished.

But soon, he found something weird happened. Claude was very familiar with the use of flames, but at this time, he realized that the temperature of his fire was falling rapidly.

The temperature of the fire was extremely important to forging something, if a problem occurred, the end product would definitely not be good.

Claude had no choice but to stop forging as he salvaged the fire. By the time he was done, he saw that Kimmich had already finished forging his weapon, Claude had not expected this to happen no matter what.

"You are unscrupulous." At this time, Claude was no longer in a state of anger, thus, he realized that the materials in his hands were all ruined by the fire.

Even if he made something from them, it would be trash.

Kimmich smiled after seeing Claude's furious expression: "Unscrupulous people use unscrupulous means to win, noble people often dig their own graves. I just needed to win. As for the method? I don't care about it at all."

Saying so, he looked at Claude in pity and said before taking his leave: "You are trash."

Chapter 75: Decision

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The reason why Kimmich wanted to win was because he wanted to snatch Claude's forging orders.

The absurd thing was that Kimmich actually managed to succeed in this, although most people were not sure about the process of their competition, for some reason, the fact that Claude had lost to Kimmich in forging became known by many people and was spread around rapidly.

On this matter, Claude was certain that Kimmich was responsible for the spread of the news, but the matter did not end just there. After this, rumors regarding Ye Feng and Claude started to spread in the City of Chaos as well.

Ye Feng and Claude instantly became people that everyone hated and despised for some reason, even those people who liked his weapons and had orders with him started to find other Blacksmiths.

Sometimes, Claude would think to himself, why did the situation become like this? Were these people experiencing memory loss?

He thought about it, during this period of time, even though Claude received many orders, he still did his best when forging their weapons, they were all very satisfied with what they received.

In fact, the fees were very low.

What he could not understand was, these people who were originally very respectful to Ye Feng suddenly became hostile, after he lost that match with Kimmich, Ye Feng's reputation also fell. This was something that Claude could not understand no matter what.

Claude did not expect the situation to end up like this.

Before this, there were many beastmen who came to order weapons, but because of this situation, they stopped coming to Claude.

In their perspective, Kimmich was indeed considered a good alternative, at this point, his goal had basically been achieved.

The reason why he approached Claude and challenged him was because he wanted the large number of orders that Claude was handling.

Now, only the Auction House of the City of Chaos still placed orders with Claude.

The City of Chaos's Auction House was not stupid, they were able to easily differentiate the difference in quality, thus, they were not going to change the Blacksmith to an inferior one.

At first, Claude did not feel anything about it, he was merely angry about the issue but he did not think that Kimmich would attack him so heavily, thus, his initial focus was on the forging aspect.

But after Kimmich left, Claude found that the issue with his forging stemmed from the fact that he had suffered considerable injuries, because of this, Claude was rather unhappy with what had happened.

In this relatively short life, Kimmich had given him an important lesson, he had not thought that a person could act so unscrupulously just for a small competition.

But now that he got injured, Claude could do nothing but endure that indignance as he rested and healed his injuries.

After Claude's injuries healed, he went to find Kimmich and said: "Earlier, you used a despicable move to win, I want to have a fair match with you now."

Claude was very clear that the reason why this situation had become like this was because he lost. As long as he won another match, this crisis would be resolved on its own.

Claude's intention was simple and clear, it was ideal and pure, thus, precisely because of this, when Claude went to find Kimmich, he did not consider the reason why Kimmich was so bent on winning.

After Kimmich heard Claude's words, his expression turned rather sinister, he replied: "Why do you think I'll compete with you again? I've already won once, don't you know?"

"You did not win, at the start, you attacked..."

While Claude was talking, he did not notice Kimmich's actions, before he finished his words, while he was distracted, Kimmich attacked again and injured Claude, he looked down at Claude and spoke in disdain: "You are simply unaware of your own weakness."

Claude was caught unguarded and could not react in time, thus, he could be said to have taken the full brunt of Kimmich's attack, he was instantly heavily injured from this hit.

Claude's injuries had not fully healed from the last attack, now, his injuries were aggravated again, he could not take this anymore.

"You are too despicable..."

"I never said I was a righteous person."

And Ye Feng who was far away in Aden City also heard of this news for some reason, he did not expect anyone to use such unscrupulous methods against Claude.

The two of them had a clear difference in strength to begin with, because Claude's forging skills had a deep foundation, even if Kimmich could snatch his orders away, because of the difference in their skills, Claude would still win in the end.

But what happened now was simply too much to ignore.

After hearing this news, Ye Feng left without second thoughts, he despised such an unscrupulous person and decided to pack up his things and make a trip to the City of Chaos.

This was an absurd matter in Ye Feng's eyes, especially the attack on Claude, it was simply despicable and unforgivable.

Blake saw that Ye Feng was packing his luggage, he felt surprised: "Teacher, where are you going?"

"The City of Chaos." Ye Feng did not even raise his head when he replied, but even so, he could sense Blake's excitement towards this matter of going out.

"Teacher, I will go with you." Without hesitation, Blake immediately suggested to accompany him.

Before Ye Feng said anything, Blake started to explain the reason why he suggested this: "Teacher, if you go alone, it will be very tiring, to speak the truth, bringing someone along has no demerits."

He puffed up his chest proudly: "Please bring me along, I can resolve problems for you. With you by my side, I will not be in danger either. This is actually a good experience for me, teacher, what do you think?"

Chapter 76: Healing

Originally, Ye Feng did not think of bringing Blake, he was going to take revenge for Claude, there was no way for Blake to gain experience from this.

But after hearing Blake's words, Ye Feng realized that it was not a bad choice to bring him along, he was convinced.

Blake was quite perceptive, after seeing Ye Feng's expression, he understood Ye Feng was moved to a certain extent after hearing his words, thus, he decided to state more convincing reasons to add to his point.

"Teacher, if you bring me along, we can stay in my Tevez clan's properties along the way. If we are in a rush, they can also prepare the things we need before we reach the respective locations."

Seeing that Ye Feng was not giving a clear answer, Blake became a little anxious, even though this trip was not something he definitely had to go on.

But Blake had never gone on any excursions, after hearing the name of the City of Chaos, he was very tempted to visit it. Thus, Blake gave many reasons and in the end, Ye Feng agreed to let him tag along.

"Alright, pack up, we are leaving immediately." Originally, Ye Feng did not want to bring Blake along, but after Blake showed an excited expression with an enthusiastic attitude, Ye Feng could not bring himself to reject him.

Since Blake wanted to go to the City of Chaos, so be it. After all, nobody in the City of Chaos would dare to provoke Ye Feng or find trouble with him.

After Ye Feng agreed to it, the two of them packed up their luggage without wasting time, they then rushed towards the City of Chaos.

Ye Feng was very familiar with the location of Claude's Blacksmith Shop, after the two of them reached the City of Chaos, he did not need to ask anyone to find out the location of the Blacksmith Shop as he headed there immediately.

Compared to the past, the current Blacksmith Shop was very empty, it was obviously because of Kimmich's actions. At this time, Blake also met Claude.

The latter was in an extremely weak condition, after seeing Ye Feng, he became very surprised: "Master, why are you here?"

Seeing that Ye Feng was here, Claude showed an expression of being extremely moved, because of this, Claude did not want Ye Feng to come here. After all, his reputation in the City of Chaos had taken a beating.

But how could Ye Feng mind something like this? He was focused on the weak Claude as he asked: "How are you now?"

"I will get you some water." Claude looked at Ye Feng with an excited expression but he avoided the question entirely.

There was no need for Ye Feng to say anything, he could see that Claude was hiding something, Ye Feng started to inspect Claude's injuries forcefully without allowing any disagreement.

At the side, Blake could tell that Ye Feng was currently in a state of extreme displeasure.

Ye Feng was currently feeling very angry about the situation, he was someone who really hated people like Kimmich deeply, thus, he had an extremely poor impression of the latter.

Blake did not say a word at this time, he searched through his luggage and took out a bottle from it after a while: "Your injuries are very severe, this is the medicine that I brought, use some of it."

Even Ye Feng did not expect that Blake would bring such a thing, it was clear to him that Blake was extremely meticulous when it came to things like this.

Blake became a little embarrassed after getting stared at by Ye Feng, he explained softly: "I thought we might have to use it, thankfully, I still brought it with me in the end."

After taking a look, Ye Feng took the medicine from Blake. Claude had also used his own medicine after getting injured, but what he used was definitely inferior to the medicine that Blake brought with him.

When Blake's medicine was used on Claude, the effect could be said to be immediate, precisely because of this, Ye Feng was right that Blake was very meticulous in such situations.

After seeing that Claude's injuries were healing, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, he looked at Claude solemnly as he said: "What happened exactly, I don't want to hear it from anyone else, tell me yourself."

After hearing this, Claude lowered his head in shame, evidently, whatever Ye Feng had heard about this matter was the truth.

"I did not expect him to be so unscrupulous." While saying this, Claude was clearly not feeling happy at all.

When explaining this matter, Claude was clearly extremely ashamed of himself when he spoke to Ye Feng, after all, he had lost this competition in Ye Feng's name, this was also the reason why Ye Feng's reputation became worse.

But Ye Feng was clearly not minding this outcome at all. From the start, after he entered the shop, he had been concerned about Claude's injuries, when he asked the question, his intention was to know why Claude did not tell him the situation when it happened, instead, he had to learn about it from a third party.

After this happened to Claude, Ye Feng was told about it from something else, he did not feel good knowing that his disciple had not come to him.

"Alright, stay here and recuperate, I will handle this matter myself." Ye Feng sighed: "This is not your fault."

Even though Claude was simply too innocent and lacking in wariness in this matter, his innocent moral conduct could be said to be his only problem in this matter.

Hearing that Ye Feng said this, Claude could not say anything else, he could only acknowledge it.

Ye Feng looked towards Blake and instructed lightly: "Take care of him, you two can talk as well. After all, you are both Blacksmiths, I'm sure you can find a common topic."

Blake nodded: "I will take care of him, but you..."

"I will go and get an answer from that person." Ye Feng left immediately, Claude knew instantly that he was heading in Kimmich's direction."

Chapter 77: Revenge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kimmich had been the hot topic recently in the City of Chaos, after defeating Claude, many people wanted to place orders with him.

With the surge of such customers, Kimmich's reputation and status also rose immensely.

Even though Ye Feng had been away from the City of Chaos for so long, the truth was, he only had to put in some effort and ask around to find out where Kimmich was currently.

Precisely so, Ye Feng did not spend much time in finding Kimmich.

Kimmich was currently proud and satisfied, although his strength was inferior to Claude, with Claude sustaining heavy injuries, all of his orders went to Kimmich instead.

All of those orders that still stayed with Claude were basically leftovers that he did not want.

These days, the Iron Hammer tribe was extremely happy, after all, the fact that Kimmich defeated the successor of the Divine Forging tribe was an incredibly glorious thing.

Not to mention the benefits they gained from these orders.

The result was that they became more revered towards Kimmich, when they saw Ye Feng, although they did not recognize him, they still had an arrogant attitude: "Are you here to find Master Blacksmith Kimmich to make an order?"

Ye Feng did not speak, he only showed a smile that vaguely felt like a smile as the person could not tell what Ye Feng wanted. But from his expression, the person did not sense a pleading attitude, instead, there was authority and forcefulness.

"Master Kimmich is a busy person, if you don't say anything, you won't get to see him." The truth was that after enjoying such fame over these last few days, this person had already become quite impolite and rude.

Some people did not spare any expense on sucking up to these people in order to get a chance to meet Kimmich.

Ye Feng did not care about these dwarves of course, he showed a smile at the person in front of him before pushing the dwarves aside: "Stand aside, this has nothing to do with you."

Ye Feng's actions were very rude in the eyes of the dwarves, but once they sensed his strength, they did not dare to fight him, they pretended to resist while letting him pass.

When Ye Feng arrived before Kimmich, the latter was stunned too, he slowly stood up and asked: "What is the matter?"

Kimmich's tone was not pleasant, he was quite upset with Ye Feng's actions.

In terms of impoliteness, Ye Feng was not even half of Kimmich's rudeness when he went to find Claude earlier. But just this was already too much for Kimmich's petty mind.

His experience in the City of Chaos had made him more brazen and arrogant.

Ye Feng smiled coldly as he asked: "So you are Kimmich?"

Even though Kimmich did not understand why he asked that, he still nodded when Ye Feng asked to confirm his identity.

After Ye Feng got a confirmation about his identity, he stopped holding back, he immediately gave Kimmich a strong punch on the face.

At this point, Kimmich had no idea what was happening, before he could even react or respond to Ye Feng's attack, the second punch landed as well.

At this time, no matter how slow Kimmich's reaction was, he knew what Ye Feng had come for, he quickly rolled on the ground and dodged Ye Feng's third punch.

Even though he dodged Ye Feng's attack, Kimmich was still in a pathetic state as he stood up with difficulty.

Ye Feng waited for Kimmich to get up before kicking him, but because the latter was prepared for it now, he only stumbled a little and did not make a fool out of himself.

Kimmich was not someone who would wait passively for his enemy to attack, he quickly retaliated. But Ye Feng had no fear as they fought back as well.

At the very start, Kimmich still thought that he could retaliate and fight against this enemy, but after realizing the huge difference in their strength, he knew that no matter how hard he fought, he could not even touch Ye Feng's clothes.

Afterwards, Kimmich started to give up in despair, he tried to protect himself to sustain fewer injuries, but Ye Feng could tell that Kimmich had such thoughts, so after the latter stopped resisting, Ye Feng's attacks became more intense.

Kimmich was bashed up countless times, he spat out a mouthful of blood and sustained heavy injuries. But Ye Feng did not let him off, only after Kimmich started to beg for mercy did he stop.

Right now, Kimmich was completely covered in wounds and bruises, his expression was filled with indignation and anger, he stared at Ye Feng with hatred and said: "The Iron Hammer tribe will not let you off for treating me like this."

After hearing such words, Ye Feng laughed out loud, he squatted beside Kimmich who was unable to get up, at this angle, he seemed to be looking down on Kimmich in actuality.

Ye Feng had a mocking expression as he said: "When you cheated and caused injuries to Claude, did you consider letting him off?"

After hearing such words, Kimmich understood the situation, he said: "You are Ye Feng."

How could such a commotion be hidden from the dwarves outside, even though Kimmich was injured now, he had not entered for a long time.

By the time they reacted and rushed in, Kimmich was already heavily injured and lying on the ground.

Almost on reflex, the Iron Hammer tribe's dwarves surrounded Ye Feng without hesitation.

During this period of time, Ye Feng had been raising his strength, he felt no fear even when he saw their numbers.

Ye Feng looked at these dwarves and showed a cold smile on his face: "You are truly asking for death."

When Ye Feng was still at Claude's place, he had been suppressing his anger the entire time.

It was unclear which side attacked first, but the outcome was that Ye Feng took out his weapon and bashed up the Iron Hammer tribe's dwarves as well.

Right now, Ye Feng's strength was unmatched by the dwarves, no matter how many there were, in actual combat, it was clear that Ye Feng was not disadvantaged in any way.

Even though Ye Feng fought against many people at once, with his immense strength and perfect combat techniques that surpassed everyone present, even the dwarves that fought him could feel a terrifying pressure from him by just simply clashing weapons.

And because Ye Feng's weapons were all made by him personally, the difference in weapon quality was also clearly displayed now. Many of his opponents' weapons were shattered at the point of impact.

This battle between the Iron Hammer tribe and Ye Feng ended up with them sustaining huge injuries, none of the dwarves could stand a chance against him despite their numbers.

Chapter 78: Lingering Authority

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Ye Feng left Kimmich's place, he did not face much obstruction, after all, nobody dared to stop him.

And precisely so, by the time Ye Feng returned to the Blacksmith Shop, not much time had passed since he left.

"You are back?" Even Claude was surprised at Ye Feng's speed, although he knew that Ye Feng had outstanding strength, he did not think that he would get so much stronger in such a short period of time.

Ye Feng nodded nonchalantly, while Blake who was taking care of Claude now also felt some shock internally.

Back then, he did not know about Ye Feng's true strength, but now, after seeing his power, Blake felt that he was a joke for even wanting to challenge Ye Feng in fighting.

Thus, he did not speak at this moment, but he was grateful that Ye Feng spared him when they fought.

Ye Feng seemed like he had gone on a casual stroll, but after returning, he still went to inspect Claude's injuries again, although Blake's medicine had strong recovery properties, Ye Feng was still quite worried.

"Don't think of other things now, just recuperate and heal." After Ye Feng checked up on Claude, he reminded the latter again.

Claude nodded and behaved extremely obediently.

Ye Feng noticed the question that Claude was holding back, he answered: "I will stay in the City of Chaos for some time, at least until this matter is settled."

During this period of time, until he can fully resolve the issue of Kimmich, Ye Feng would not leave.

Ye Feng was quite clear internally that his actions today had already offended Kimmich and the other dwarves, the Iron Hammer tribe would not let this matter go after this had happened. When he least expects it, they would launch their retaliation and revenge.

Thus, it was not safe for Claude to stay in the Blacksmith Shop alone, this was the primary reason why Ye Feng chose to stay.

Furthermore, Ye Feng was not happy that the various forces had abandoned Claude so easily, in his perspective, their actions were a form of betrayal that made him extremely uncomfortable.

Regardless of the reason, Ye Feng would never cooperate with such people or forces again.

Ye Feng knew that it would be too much to ask them to help in times of crisis, but he would not allow them to abandon him so easily either.

Ye Feng was someone who focused on action, thus, after thinking about it, he started to head out, his first target was the Auction House of the City of Chaos.

The Auction House's people were shocked, they quickly went to receive him as they said: "Sir Ye Feng, you have come."

Ye Feng nodded, he knew that the Auction House had been protecting Claude to a certain extent recently, thus, he spoke to them in a polite manner.

By the time Ye Feng arrived in the Auction House, the entire City of Chaos had already heard of the news that he heavily injured Kimmich and severely offended the entire Iron Hammer tribe in the city.

Thus, the Auction House's members were exceptionally polite towards him.

Looking at Ye Feng, he showed a smile that symbolized the reverence and respect towards a strong expert, he said: "Please take a seat, I'll get our supervisor to come here now."

The attendant quickly brought Ye Feng to a large meeting room in the Auction House without any issue, he prepared some food and drinks as well.

After a while, the supervisor of the Auction House arrived before Ye Feng: "Sir Ye Feng, my apologies, I came a bit late."

Ye Feng would not mind this of course, he only nodded after hearing this and expressed that it was not an issue.

Before coming, Ye Feng had already thought of what to say, he came here with a clear objective: "I came here to hold an auction."

After hearing his words, the supervisor nodded immediately: "No problem, what are you thinking of auctioning, have you decided the date? And how big do you need the venue to be? I will start arranging it now."

Ye Feng nodded as well: "The time and venue do not matter, I don't need a huge place, just an average one will do. You can plan this for me, I don't have many requirements."

Ye Feng's idea was simple, he would let a professional handle this.

But in the eyes of the Auction House's supervisor, it seemed like Ye Feng was confident in his performance, thus, his attitude became even more enthusiastic.

During this period of time, Ye Feng knew that the Auction House was helping Claude, thus, he also chose to return the favor.

"Alright." Even though the supervisor did not know what Ye Feng wanted to auction now, he had already agreed to the matter.

But what Ye Feng said later became extremely shocking information —

"I want to auction the orders for stage five weapons." After Ye Feng said that, the smiling Auction House's supervisor froze instantly and dropped his pen out, he was obviously extremely stunned by such words.

As the supervisor of the Auction House, he knew what a stage five weapon symbolized. Also, Ye Feng was auctioning the orders!

This meant that he would forge the weapons according to the buyer's wishes, this was something that could truly tempt any force here.

But Ye Feng who put up this tempting offer had a plain expression, he took out a piece of paper and said: "When you plan the auction, take note that these people on my list cannot attend it."

The supervisor took over Ye Feng's list with shaking hands, after quickly looking through it, he understood what the situation was.

The Auction House had a wide range of information sources, it was simple for him to understand the meaning behind Ye Feng's name list.

But as the host, the Auction House agreed to Ye Feng's request and said: "We will send the invitations according to your wishes."

Ye Feng was very satisfied with the attitude of the supervisor, he left without having much to say.

While looking at this name list, the Auction House's supervisor could not calm himself after a long time.

In fact, he was feeling glad about his previous choice, those beast tribes that broke the contract with Claude earlier would never have expected that this shocking situation would occur.

The orders for stage five weapons could change the strength of a force, it would change the power structure of the City of Chaos, because these forces all had complex relationships, the change in strength would also symbolize a change in their respective distribution of benefits.

Chapter 79: Exerting Pressure

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Auction House acted rapidly, because of their actions, the fact that Ye Feng was holding an auction became known to many forces, at the same time, they also learned of certain details about it.

The most common information was the long list of names that were banned from attending the auction.

This blacklist and the temptation of stage five weapons caused the entire City of Chaos to go into a commotion.

Many of the beastmen who chose to cancel their cooperation with the Blacksmith Shop earlier started to feel a headache when they received this information, after all, who had no enemies in this world?

If their enemies were also on this name list, then the situation would still be controllable, it would mean that their difference would not be pulled apart.

But if their enemies suddenly obtained a new stage five weapon, it would be bad news to them.

Also, the Auction House stated that 'the client can specify the weapon' they wanted, this was also something that contained deep meaning, when such information reached the tribes, the answer was obvious —

They had offended a stage five Blacksmith, and Ye Feng was someone who became a stage five Blacksmith using a very short amount of time.

By doing this, Ye Feng had basically removed their potential to become an expert in the future.

No matter how strong someone was, they would still need weapons.

At this time, these tribes started to feel regret, why did they choose Kimmich just because he defeated Claude in a competition?

Ye Feng who was the master of Claude had far more value than Kimmich.

Stage five weapons were extremely rare and almost never seen, thus, they could not accept the fact that they were going to lose out on a stage five weapon now.

These beastmen could also sense that this situation worked against them, at this time, they let go of their usual grudges and started to interact with each other frequently.

Not long after, someone went to Ye Feng and started to talk to him regarding this matter: "Sir Ye Feng, although we had some misunderstanding earlier, this should not result in any conflicts between us, am I right?"

"There are no conflicts," Ye Feng was not going to relent on this matter so easily: "This is just business, I can transact with anyone I want."

Because of what Ye Feng said, the visitor could do nothing now, Ye Feng was showing a firm attitude on this matter.

Although they subtly threatened that there might be conflicts arising, they did not have the guts to actually do anything to him, after all, many people were watching Ye Feng now.

On one hand, they did not dare to offend Ye Feng. On the other hand, they were afraid that Ye Feng would support their enemy forces because of this.

The pressure that they tried to place on him had no effect, these forces even wanted to back off now, their weak alliance was showing signs of collapsing.

The truth was, they knew that they were completely suppressed by such rules, if they tried to do anything to Ye Feng, they would only face greater revenge.

For the other forces, making a move on Ye Feng was the same as engaging them in war, thus, many tribes had no choice but to accept their fate now.

"Ye Feng is thinking too highly of himself!" Many of the tribes were unable to take this result, Warwick tribe was one of them.

As a werewolf tribe, they had never experienced such a treatment from anyone, thus, they felt a certain level of grudge towards Ye Feng: "I have never seen such an arrogant person, he really thinks too highly of himself just because we tried to talk to him nicely. Does he think that I won't dare to do anything to him?"

Seeing the agitated Warwick tribe, some people tried to calm them down: "Brother, the circumstances are against us, we cannot offend Ye Feng thoroughly. Currently, he..."

"What if he has no choice but to agree to work with us?" The person who spoke earlier showed a cold smile: "I remember he came with someone."

Even Blake did not expect that anyone would target him, by the time he realized what happened, the Warwick tribe had already surrounded him.

Even Blake had never seen such a large group of enemies, he did not do anything but gave up and surrendered immediately.

The Warwick tribe did not think that it would be this successful, but before they let out a sigh of relief, Blake already went on a rampage.

Because Blake gave up and surrendered to them earlier, the Warwick tribe was not guarded against him at this moment.

Thus, he managed to land some important attacks on them.

But soon, they reacted and retaliated, after all, they had prepared amply before executing this plan.

Blake quickly took his weapon while the Warwick tribe reacted as well, both sides started to enter heated combat as the scene turned intense.

Blake who was top ten in Aden City's Knight's Academy was not weak at all, but in the City of Chaos, he was not strong to the point where others feared him.

The Warwick tribe knew that they had made a blunder, but at this point, the situation had gone beyond their control, it was too late to give up now.

Many of the Warwick tribe's members died in Blake's hand, but there were also experts who came here to capture Blake.

Because Blake was fighting against so many people at the same time, he had to pay a price for it. The truth was, he had also wrongly assessed the strength of the Warwick tribe.

He did not think that escaping would be so tough.

There was no chance for both sides to ceasefire now, as they fought, Blake found an opportunity during the fight and killed the strongest enemy on their side before successfully escaping.

By the time Blake escaped and relaxed his mind, he felt an intense pain on his left shoulder. He turned to look and found that his left arm was completely missing.

Earlier, because he was too focused on escaping, and because of his adrenaline rush, Blake did not realize that his left arm was chopped off.

But what Blake felt thankful for was that he managed to stay alive.

Chapter 80: Intense Anger

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Blake was not familiar with the City of Chaos, on this excursion, he felt that he could not waste the opportunity, thus, he went around to tour the place.

But he did not expect something like this to happen.

After this encounter, Blake immediately chose to return to the Blacksmith Shop, his injuries were not light at all, but through his willpower and determination, he quickly found the route that led to the Blacksmith Shop.

By the time Blake found the Blacksmith Shop, the willpower supporting him faded away, his vision turned dark entirely as he caught a glimpse of Ye Feng's shocked and anxious expression right before fainting.

It was no doubt that Ye Feng was shocked. He did not expect that in such a short time, Blake would lose an arm and even get beaten unconscious with such heavy injuries.

He had never in his wildest imagination expected the situation to develop like this, why would anyone choose to continue making an enemy out of him, they even dared to cripple Blake.

Losing an arm was a despairing catastrophe for any Blacksmith.

Ye Feng quickly brought Blake into the Blacksmith Shop and inspected his injuries.

Blake was heavily injured, his wounded body was covered with traces of combat.

While looking at Blake's injuries, Ye Feng thought about the situation, he had definitely experienced a huge battle earlier, even though he won in the end, it was definitely a difficult fight.

Suddenly, Ye Feng paused, he saw some slash marks on Blake's back that resembled werewolf claws, this was basically solid evidence that the werewolves had done this to him.

Ye Feng had also heard of the conflict within the werewolf tribes themselves, precisely so, Ye Feng chose to cooperate with one of them earlier, but to think that they became so arrogant while he was gone during this period.

They abandoned Claude immediately after seeing his losses without second thoughts, they threw themselves at Kimmich at the very first moment.

The Warwick tribe!

The moment Ye Feng saw the wolf claw markings, Ye Feng knew who the culprits were. At this moment, Ye Feng could be said to be fuming in anger, but now, treating Blake's wounds was the most important priority.

After attending to Blake's wounds and treating him carefully, Ye Feng left when his condition stabilized.

When Claude saw Ye Feng's expression, he did not dare to say anything, he only watched over the unconscious Blake attentively.

After seeing Blake's arm, he could not help but sigh in pity.

"That kid is quite amazing, he managed to escape in that situation." At the other end, the Warwick tribe was feeling a little troubled now.

The plan that they thought would be extremely successful had failed already.

"It is not an issue, it was our fault for forgetting that kid's strength earlier, that resulted in this mess."

"That kid is really good at running, he managed to escape after killing so many of our people."

"Do you think that Ye Feng will come to find us?"

After a werewolf asked this question, they all fell into silence.

But right when they turned silent, Ye Feng appeared.

Ye Feng had no expression on his face now, but his eyes burned with killing intent. The moment the Warwick tribe's members saw Ye Feng's expression, they knew that they could no longer count on good luck, they immediately looked at him with deep wariness.

Ye Feng did not say anything at this moment, he looked at the Warwick tribe members who were in front of him as he raised the sword in his hand.

The werewolves understood what he wanted to do immediately, but when Ye Feng attacked, he did not leave his victims alive.

Before many of the werewolves found their weapons, they had already died in Ye Feng's hands. Those who were stronger could take three to five hits from Ye Feng before they lost their lives.

The Warwick tribe members looked at this scene with fear and shock, some of them felt that they could go and pester Ye Feng to create an opportunity for their other members to escape.

But such intentions were doomed to fail, they were unable to resist even one hit from Ye Feng..

The result of this battle was simply clear from the start, Ye Feng's strength was completely unrivaled compared to the Warwick tribe.

Ye Feng was not a bloodthirsty person, he did not kill all of the members of the Warwick tribe who were currently present.

He looked at the few Warwick tribe members who were still alive and said: "Since you dared to commit such an act, you must be prepared to face my fury, I will wait for you to take revenge on me."

Saying so, he left without waiting to see the expression of these Warwick tribe members.

He was definitely not afraid that the Warwick tribe would take revenge on him, after all, it was a form of cowardice that they chose to target Blake in the first place.

After Ye Feng returned, he saw that Blake was still unconscious without showing signs of waking up, he asked: "He hasn't woken up yet?"

Ye Feng was filled with emotions when he saw Blake in this condition.

"He has been unconscious the whole time. By right, after his injuries stabilized, he should have woken up already." Claude did not understand why Blake was still unconscious at this time.

"Let him sleep."

Ye Feng was exceptionally helpless in this situation.

Ye Feng felt that this situation was too cruel to Blake. No words could console him about the fact that he had lost his arm.

The fact that Blake was still unconscious was probably a way for him to avoid this fact. The arm of a Blacksmith was extremely important, but even for a Knight, they needed their hands to use a sword.

Regarding this matter, it could be said that he had suffered an unwarranted catastrophe.

He had incredible talent and even though his nature was a little flawed, during this period of time, he had grown significantly and in a positive way. After encountering such a situation, Ye Feng could not criticize him for trying to avoid the issue.

Right now, no matter how amazing Ye Feng was, he could not help Blake to regrow an arm, so what should he do?

While thinking about it, Ye Feng soon gained a flash of inspiration!

A mechanical arm! He could make a mechanical arm for Blake, it could replace his left arm and allow him to do some complex tasks that a human arm could not achieve.

While thinking of this, Ye Feng drew on a piece of paper as he tried to conceptualize the possibility of making a mechanical arm.

Chapter 81: Assassination

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Blake felt like he was dreaming for a very long time, in the dream, his life was smooth-sailing until recently, when he got kidnapped and lost an arm when he tried to escape.

No, that was not real.

Blake thought to himself but when he opened his eyes in fear, the pain coming from his right shoulder reminded him that what happened was not a dream.

"You're awake? Thank goodness, you have no idea how long you've been asleep." After seeing that Blake had woken up, Claude spoke in excitement.

But after seeing Blake's expression, Claude knew that he had no words to console him, he kept silent as a result.

"Have you been taking care of me this entire time? Thank you." At this time, Blake suddenly spoke as Claude subconsciously went to help him when he saw that Blake was trying to get out of bed.

Blake's face was still thin and pale because of the excessive loss of blood, but his body condition was not in poor shape.

Claude looked at Blake and felt a sense of admiration towards him. After encountering such a terrifying situation, he did not end up in despair or start to blame everything around him, he had already accepted the fact and even thanked the person who took care of him.

"Don't worry about it." Claude was feeling a little upset now, when he spoke, he tried to blink his eyes and stop his tears from flowing out.

After Ye Feng heard about Blake's demeanor, he also sighed in admiration, even though Blake did not know about Ye Feng's current plan, the attitude he showed was already superior to most people.

"But I already have a plan to help you now."

Saying so, he handed the mechanical arm over.

For the first time, Blake showed a faint smile on his face, after seeing the thing in Ye Feng's hand, he became quite surprised: "This is..."

"The mechanical arm that I forged, test it out." Ye Feng laughed: "See if it is compatible, we have a tough fight ahead."

Ye Feng was not wrong at all, because of Blake's injury, the Warwick tribe had made a complete enemy of him.

The tribes that were watching earlier also made up their mind after seeing Ye Feng's actions.

They originally thought that he would handle this matter in a more peaceful manner, but the event that happened earlier reminded them of his tough stance and also stirred their retaliative spirit.

They knew that Ye Feng would not relent so easily, but they also did not think that he would be so resolute when handling this matter.

Although, from a certain perspective, the Warwick tribe had asked for this themselves.

In any case, the Warwick tribe soon found many tribes that were unhappy with Ye Feng as they all gathered together in an alliance.

Not long after they joined hands, on a certain night, Ye Feng received a special present.

When he sensed danger, he immediately opened his eyes and jumped to the side on reflex, rolling away from this fatal danger in the dark.

After dodging this attack, Ye Feng became alerted no matter how sleepy he was, he quickly grabbed his weapon and attacked a corner of the room.

The person hiding there did not expect to be found so quickly, he stopped concealing himself as the two started to fight.

Undeniably, the Warwick tribe had found someone with decent strength to assassinate Ye Feng this time, the two of them were fighting on equal levels.

This assassin did not expect Ye Feng to be so hard to deal with, although he had not received proper assassination training, Ye Feng's attacks were also vicious and aimed for vital spots, he did not hold back.

At this point, the two of them were fighting intensely but neither side could gain an upper hand, the assassin felt internally shocked as time passed.

If he had known that Ye Feng had such strength, he would not have accepted the mission to kill Ye Feng no matter what.

But this assassin also knew that regardless of how surprised he felt, he had to kill Ye Feng now.

Even if he chose to surrender, Ye Feng would not spare his life.

Ye Feng also raised his brows as they fought, this person was definitely the strongest assassin that he had ever met.

As the two continued to fight, the assassin started to experience a decline in stamina, he began to make mistakes against Ye Feng.

Several times, Ye Feng left wounds on his body, this assassin also knew that he was actually not Ye Feng's match, thus, he had no hesitation at this moment.

His attacks became faster and more ruthless, he wanted to end this battle quickly.

At this time, Ye Feng could also tell what this person wanted to do, how could he allow the enemy to succeed in his plan?

Even though there seemed to be no change in Ye Feng's moves, the assassin could feel that Ye Feng's style of fighting had changed, it was directly affecting the outcome of this fight.

In the past, Ye Feng used to fight against his enemies openly using frontal offensive skills, but at this time, his style was changing slowly.

Ye Feng's movements were becoming slower than the assassin, even though he slowed down, his efficiency had increased instead.

Each time Ye Feng moved, although it was slow, his movement could perfectly interrupt the assassin's attack and parry it, preventing himself from taking any harm.

The assassin also got more frustrated as Ye Feng did this, while the latter was not looking, he threw a dagger at him.

Ye Feng could obviously block it easily, but when he did so, the assassin turned around to escape.

Ye Feng had spent so much time fighting against this person, how could he let the assassin leave so easily? Looking at the assassin who was trying to escape, Ye Feng used the new offensive skill that he obtained recently — Void Slash.

This was the first time Ye Feng was using this skill since he obtained it, thus, he did not know about its strength.

After Ye Feng used it, he found that the energy in his body was being consumed at a rapid rate, but when Ye Feng saw the assassin's body, he regretted his previous choice.

Ye Feng was completely and utterly disgusted — because of this move, there was only a pile of minced flesh in front of him, even bones could not be found anymore.

Chapter 82: Returning The Gift

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Even though the werewolf assassin did not cause Ye Feng any loss, such an action infuriated him without doubt.

Ye Feng was not someone who would sit and wait for death, originally, he had gone on the defensive because of his two injured disciples, but now that the situation had reached this stage, Ye Feng did not hesitate anymore, he went on the offensive and attacked.

When looking for alliances, Ye Feng had a natural advantage, he was a Blacksmith.

Many people were wary of Blacksmiths because they could never understand how many connections they had or how many forces supported them in the dark.

Ye Feng was not going to waste his advantage, on the second day, he went to contact the Auction House of the City of Chaos.

Because many people had already learned of the conflict between Ye Feng and the Warwick tribe during this period, a lot of these forces chose to watch on the fence, to await the result of their fight.

The people from the Auction House were not surprised by this result, from the start, they had not thought that the Warwick tribe could have any success.

Even when Ye Feng was not around, they took care of Claude secretly. Now that they had to choose a side, the Auction House leaned towards Ye Feng without hesitation.

As a Blacksmith, Ye Feng's connection with the Auction House was much tighter than their relationship with the Warwick tribe.

After all, Ye Feng was their supplier, in comparison, the Auction House was not as concerned about the parties who bought their products.

"Sir Ye Feng, you finally came. Our Auction House has not completed our discussions about the earlier matter." The Auction House's supervisor saw Ye Feng and spoke earnestly, he was obviously showing Ye Feng his stance.

"No worry, this is not urgent, after I finish my current business, we can talk about it later."

Ye Feng showed a smile as he was very satisfied with this situation.

By the time Ye Feng left the Auction House, both sides had come to a consensus regarding this matter. The Auction House was able to function as the medium of so many different forces, it definitely had its own abilities.

After they reached an agreement, Ye Feng went to find the next force immediately.

When choosing people to work with, Ye Feng did not base it on strength, even if some weaker tribes wanted to join Ye Feng's side, he welcomed them.

Many of the larger tribes were hesitant on this matter and could not decide, but the smaller ones were much quicker on their decision.

The Warwick tribe had always been very arrogant, many of the smaller tribes bore grudges with them, thus, a number of them chose Ye Feng without hesitation when this matter appeared.

Ye Feng's objective was very simple. The enemy of an enemy was a friend, during this short period of time, he gathered a sizable group to help him.

At this time, the Warwick tribe did not back off either, they also gained the support of many tribes.

At this time, both sides gathered their respective forces together, conflict was also rising between them.

The people of the Warwick tribe were also quite troubled now, when they went to the cat-eared or rabbit-eared tribes to buy things, the process became much more difficult.

Even though these tribes did not have much strength, they produced top quality items, seeing that they could not buy anything, the werewolves were very angry.

"Who do you think you are? Quickly bring out the things that we want." Normally, when the werewolves came to the cat-eared tribe, they did not accept no as an answer, now, after facing rejection, they were very shocked.

"You really think you are safe now? Today, even if Ye Feng is here, you will bring out what I want." After saying that, he gave the cat-eared tribesman a slap.

"Bring it out? Sure." After getting slapped, the cat-eared tribesman became very obediently, when the werewolf saw his subservient attitude, he laughed coldly.

At this time, the werewolf let down his guard and said in an arrogant tone: "You should have been like this from the start..."

But when he lowered his head, he found that the handsome cat-eared youngster had stabbed a knife into his stomach while smiling cutely.

The werewolf behind also sensed something amiss but it was too late.

Many cat-eared youngsters stood up at this moment, surrounding the werewolves with evident killing intent in their eyes.

"Kill!"

Such situations were occurring everywhere, the tribes that were oppressed by the werewolves started to retaliate and no longer acted as subservient as before.

They chose to stand up and attack the various werewolf tribes' members when they were alone.

In one-on-one fights, these tribes were weaker indeed, but when they ganged up together, they were much stronger.

As such situations became more common, the conflict between the two sides became open and straightforward.

Such small clashes were going to develop into an all-out war in the future.

The forces that the Warwick tribe gathered would not allow such situations to occur anymore, they quickly retaliated.

As a result, Ye Feng's forces also reported the matter to him.

This clash was just what he wanted, Ye Feng immediately took the lead as their commander without hesitation.

And with Ye Feng's leadership, they had more victories than losses.

The City of Chaos had truly turned into a city of chaos now, there were conflicts all the time, this chaotic place had lost all traces of peace at this moment.

Some small matters would lead to conflict between people, after they scream at each other in public, they would get into a brawl.

By the time these conflicts turned into war, the time for Ye Feng and the Warwick tribe's final showdown had arrived.

The Warwick tribe originally thought that their strength would allow them to gain an advantage in this battle.

But to think that they would get chased out of the City of Chaos instead, even though the Warwick tribe refused to believe that this was true, they had no choice but to retreat and get out of the City of Chaos in the end.

Chapter 83: Discussion

"The Warwick tribe is looking a little pathetic." The person who spoke looked around in the Warwick tribe.

Because they had lost in the earlier battle, the Warwick tribe was forced to leave the City of Chaos. As the loser, they were truly pathetic now.

But the Warwick tribe had their glorious days in the past as well, now that they were in this state, they felt extremely terrible, they felt even worse after hearing such words like they were being looked down on.

"I'm sure you're not here to see how we're doing now." The people of the Warwick tribe had bitter expressions after hearing such words.

Even though they were defeated, they still raised their heads high, moreover, with their strength, nobody could come here to mock them like this without facing retaliation.

But the person heard their words and did not feel anger, he said: "Trust me, I did not come here with ill intentions, in fact, I hope we can cooperate instead."

Even though he said that, those who heard his words smiled mockingly: "We are all defeated rats, there is no need to try and prove who is superior."

His words contained one meaning: You guys are looking down on us now, but can't you look in the mirror and see how pathetic you are yourselves?

Everyone understood the meaning of his words, after hearing it, their expressions turned very ugly too, they clearly felt attacked by such words.

"Cooperation is possible, but we have to do it on equal terms, stop showing us your high and mighty demeanor, your Iron Hammer tribe is in no better state."

This person who came was from the Iron Hammer tribe, after hearing the words of the Warwick tribe member, he fell into a long period of silence.

To speak the truth, the Iron Hammer tribe had suffered immense losses this time, even though Kimmich brought them lots of benefits initially.

But after Ye Feng's retaliation and counterattack, the Iron Hammer tribe lost almost all of their benefits.

Furthermore, because many people found out about the truth behind the reason why Kimmich was able to win against Claude, they felt that the Iron Hammer tribe was also as shameless as him.

People knew how to pursue benefits and avoid problems, at this time, they did not show any good attitude towards the Iron Hammer tribe.

The Iron Hammer tribe was very upset about their current predicament, but there was nothing they could do.

As the reputation of the Iron Hammer tribe fell to rock bottom, not only did they lose all of the orders that they had, they even met with a lot of contention now, their lives became very tough during this period of time.

Especially after Ye Feng's victory this time, it meant that the Iron Hammer tribe had even less room to live in. The Iron Hammer tribe did not argue with Ye Feng, they chose to leave immediately without a fuss.

They could no longer stay in the City of Chaos.

Because of Ye Feng's victory, it meant that he was going to settle the scores now.

Earlier, when Ye Feng was fighting against the Warwick tribe, many forces chose to stay neutral.

But now, after his win, these neutral forces had no choice but to express their loyalty now.

And the Iron Hammer tribe became the target for them to express their loyalty.

In this situation, the Iron Hammer tribe had no choice but to lower their head, precisely so, they went into a difficult situation.

Also, because of the matter with the Auction House, the Iron Hammer tribe was also hated by many of the forces, when they found out about this, they did not dare to speak against those angry forces in fear of facing extermination because of their anger.

The Iron Hammer tribe knew that they were not welcomed by anyone now, thus, they did not approach the Warwick tribe at first. Only now did they come, they were trying to support them in times of need.

And also because the Iron Hammer tribe was no doubt an enemy of Ye Feng, working with the Warwick tribe was a natural thing.

The truth was, the Warwick tribe wanted to see such an alliance as well.

Even though the Iron Hammer tribe could not guarantee that their weapons were all stage five, compared to the current situation, it would help the Warwick tribe greatly at least.

But before cooperation, they had to negotiate about the terms first in a clear manner.

"We both know that cooperation is the best solution we have now. We have lived in the City of Chaos for so long, are you really willing to leave?"

At this time, the Iron Hammer tribe chose to keep away their arrogance.

Thereafter, both sides cooperated without an issue, precisely so, the Warwick tribe gained some confidence again.

"It is true that Ye Feng is not easy to deal with, but we lost to him last time because we lacked weapons. Now that we have the Iron Hammer tribe's weapons, it is not impossible for us to reclaim what we have lost."

Many people had such thoughts.

With the addition of the Iron Hammer tribe, the Warwick tribe managed to gather the other tribes that were exiled even more easily.

At this time, many people felt unjust about their exile, it was very easy to create an alliance with them.

They had one common goal to work towards — defeat Ye Feng and return to the City of Chaos.

"The City of Chaos is ours, we must reclaim the City of Chaos."

This commotion was huge to the point where Ye Feng had to pay attention to them. In the past, they were disunited, but now, they had a common goal to return to the city.

But Ye Feng was not going to give up so easily, thus, battle erupted between the two sides immediately.

Soon, war broke out between the two sides, while Blake also entered the battlefield with Ye Feng.

Originally, Blake had a poor temperament, but after the recent events, he became more mature. After getting the mechanical arm that Ye Feng made, he started to familiarize himself with it.

It had to be said that Ye Feng spent a lot of effort on this arm, along with Blake's own hard work in trying to master this arm, he managed to get used to it after a short period of time.

This time, Blake made a request to Ye Feng to join him in battle.

He was a Knight to begin with, there was no reason to back off in this situation. Ye Feng could also see Blake's determination, he did not reject or discourage Blake but chose to let him onto the battlefield as well.

The battle involving the city became a huge topic of everyone, at this time, be it the attacking side or the defending side led by Ye Feng, all of them felt immense pressure at this time.

But nobody was going to give up.

Chapter 84: Battle

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Both sides had already gotten serious at this time, no matter who wins in the end, it was bound to be a painful outcome for both sides.

Even though Ye Feng had great strength and planning skills, he could not avoid the losses that would occur when they fought with all their strength.

This alliance created by the Warwick tribe had a clear goal in this fight, they wanted to reclaim the City of Chaos.

Even though the City of Chaos had never been in the hands of any single force before this, in a certain perspective, there was a delicate balance of power, all the forces recognized each other and through years of living together, they had formed their own rules.

Thus, even though many large forces had been bullying the smaller forces all along, nobody stood up for them because this was a natural thing under their rules.

But at this time, Ye Feng used these neutral and weaker forces to fight against the alliance of the Warwick tribe, in a certain way, he had broken the original rules set in the City of Chaos.

The Warwick tribe was unwilling to lose to Ye Feng and these smaller tribes, while the smaller tribes had also mustered their strength to break free from these rules, they did not want to return to a state of oppression anymore.

Thus both sides fought with great intensity, before Ye Feng even managed to talk to them, these angry weaker tribes had already rushed forward to fight against the enemies.

At this time, Ye Feng also chose to step forward with these tribes.

His actions moved the weaker tribes greatly, because they understood the situation clearly in their hearts.

Earlier, they were able to chase the Warwick tribe and their alliance out of the City of Chaos mainly because these stronger forces had let their guard down against the weaker tribes. But once they started to treat these enemies seriously, the weaker tribes would no longer have such an easy time.

After all, the reason they had always been suppressed was because of their inferior strength, this had not changed.

While these werewolves fought now, they also felt angered from being sneak attacked, they looked at these weaker tribes ruthlessly and attacked without holding back.

"Don't tell me you guys think I will be careless against your sneak attacks again like last time?" The beastmen of the Warwick tribe smiled sinisterly: "Today, I will show you what I am capable of."

In terms of frontal combat, they had a strong natural advantage, many of the beastmen of the other smaller tribes had already died in their hands.

But this did not mean that the Warwick tribe was having an easy time, although these smaller tribes were weaker, at this time, many of them disregarded their own lives, their mission was not to survive but to bring their enemies down with them.

Many of the members of the Warwick tribe got injured because of these relentless attacks, Blake saw this but did not have much of a chance to help them.

At this time, Ye Feng had already defeated many top fighters in the Warwick tribe, he greatly weakened their total strength, while Blake was also bathed in blood as he fought.

As a Knight who was trained in the Knight's Academy, Blake had the spirit of a Knight, it was very important to him, thus, even after getting injured, he fought more bravely and intensely.

Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, empathy, spirit, honesty, justice...

Blake chanted in his heart while fighting without stopping, if one had to find an enemy that hated the Warwick tribe greatly, Blake was definitely one of them.

He had lost an arm because of the Warwick tribe, even though he could still lift his sword and fight now, the incident was extremely humiliating to Blake, he had to take revenge and reclaim his honor.

At this time, Blake also felt very grateful to Ye Feng, if he did not make this mechanical arm, Blake would not be able to display any of his strength now.

After getting the mechanical arm, before they started fighting, Blake had been recuperating while getting used to this new arm, the good thing was that Blake had adapted to using this arm very quickly.

The mechanical arm was basically as agile as his own arm now, it was his advantage instead.

Ye Feng had carved several hundred formations on Blake's mechanical arm, the materials were also top quality, Blake could move the arm with a single thought, while it was also immune to slashing attacks due to its natural properties.

Initially, Blake held himself back and fought carefully, but after finding out the sturdiness of the mechanical arm, he gave up on defending his left arm, he started to use the mechanical arm's strength to fight against many werewolves.

At this time, many of the werewolves also realized that Blake was a tough enemy, thus, fewer enemies came to him, allowing Blake to feel less pressure when he fought.

After using Void Slash, Ye Feng turned around and noticed this situation, he saw that Blake had used his mechanical arm to push the person in front of him away, causing his chest to cave in as his ribs broke completely.

Seeing Blake's combat strength, Ye Feng was very excited about it, he did not expect Blake to display the power of the mechanical arm so easily, he had considerable combat strength now.

At this time, Ye Feng could not help but feel a surge of excitement as he realized that his concept was feasible after seeing Blake's mechanical arm, if just an arm could have such an effect, then the creation of a mechanical armor would allow him to gain even greater strength.

The battle ended after both sides exhausted their stamina, they did not suffer much losses, but after the weaker forces collected the corpses of their comrades, they looked at these wounded and incomplete corpses with much sorrow in their hearts.

The cruel battle was a wake up call to everyone, causing them to understand the reality of things. Meanwhile, Ye Feng went back and started to research his mechanical armor concept.

Chapter 85: Success

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After having an idea, Ye Feng quickly started to design the mechanical arm. There were many problems that he had to resolve to make this work.

If he only had a flash of inspiration initially, then after deep consideration and planning, he started to write out a series of criteria and requirements —

The mechanical arm could not just look nice on the outside, if he only made a metallic arm, it would be a joke, the replica of the real arm would be better off made with other materials.

Blake was a Knight and also a Blacksmith with extraordinary talent, this mechanical arm could not burden his fighting capabilities, it even had to be of help to him.

At the same time, it needed to be useful in his daily life.

And as a Blacksmith, Blake needed a mechanical arm that could be useful in his forging, but at the same time, it could not become his weakness or something that gave him trouble.

After all, a weak person in possession of a treasure was simply asking to get robbed. If Blake's mechanical arm was too useful, he might encounter this situation again, there was a need to consider such a problem when he made the arm as well.

Thus, after adding in these conditions, the materials that he was going to use to make the mechanical arm needed careful consideration, even a stage five Blacksmith like Ye Feng faced a huge difficulty in selecting them.

Ye Feng had a lot of materials, but it was not simple to find out the way to use them in this situation.

Even though Claude did not have many orders during this period, he still had a lot of materials stored up. Ye Feng watched his materials increase and decrease as he experimented and considered many different combinations of materials, he continued to refine the recipe through trial and error.

By the time Ye Feng solved the issue of the ratio of materials, more questions appeared in front of him. The formation was definitely an issue, what kind of formation should he use in this situation?

Furthermore, this formation needed to have great chemistry with the materials that he chose.

The mechanical arm needed to be used in daily life and fighting, it also had to be usable when he forged items, this was a strict requirement in itself. Furthermore, Blake's own habits had to be taken into account, the arm had to be able to execute the actions that Blake wanted to do with ease.

Like this, he continued drafting many blueprints, in just a while, Ye Feng wasted a lot of paper, but he eventually decided on one plan.

The strict requirements also spurred Ye Feng's competitive spirit, at this point in time, he wanted to test more possibilities and push himself further.

Looking at the blueprint, Ye Feng felt glad internally that Blake had not woken up because of his heavy injuries. If he woke up at this time, Ye Feng did not dare to imagine how much despair he would feel.

After confirming the blueprint, Ye Feng started to forge. At this time, Claude volunteered to take care of Blake during this period, after all, the latter had taken care of him earlier. Now that it was Blake's turn to lie in bed, Claude did not feel good about it.

Ye Feng started to forge, the materials this time were very complex and varied, even Ye Feng felt a headache when he dealt with them. Among the materials that Ye Feng used, one of them was called the metal of life.

Even though it had a cool name, it was often ignored by people because of the lack of usability. Although it was a stage four material, it was inferior to stage three materials in price, the reason was that the metal of life had a peculiar trait in that it rejected most other materials.

This rejection effect would cause the forging to fail, this was why it was considered a useless material, but it had an effect of giving people certain special responses at specific timings, as if it contained life in it.

But weapons normally had resonance with the user to begin with, thus, the metal of life was quite redundant and became treated as the toy of rich aristocrat kids, it had never been used seriously.

It was not that nobody researched it, but most of these researches would end up in failure.

However, this material was very useful to Ye Feng in this situation now, if it really could allow the user to manipulate it at will, this material was a necessity in this arm.

Ye Feng spent a lot of effort when processing the materials, he first refined and purified the metal of life without fusing it with other metals. After the other metals were fused and Ye Feng carved several formations on them, he started fusing them again.

This fusion process was not very successful, but right now, the metals that Ye Feng had already carved formations on had some sort of peculiar resonate with the metal of life when he raised the temperature.

Because of this resonance, the materials that were originally turned red from the fire became pure white after the metal of life was added, the temperature also fell.

Ye Feng watched this situation occur while letting out a sigh of relief in his heart. Because of this reaction, Ye Feng's idea had already half-succeeded.

At this time, Ye Feng raised the temperature again, after that, he started to carve formations on the newly melted materials. At this time, his back was already covered in perspiration, but Ye Feng was still working very stably.

The beads of sweat on his forehead were all evaporated by the intense fire of the furnace.

By the time the temperature of the fire fell, Ye Feng's final formation was carved.

After he finished the forging, before Ye Feng had the time to inspect if he had forged something good or bad, he heard the system's voice —

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a superior-grade stage four weapon, mechanical arm, you have obtained 8000 fire elemental points, and the [Offensive skill: Void Slash]."

After hearing this notification, Ye Feng took in a deep breath, it went without saying that his forging attempt had succeeded, even though the mechanical arm was stage four, the amount of points he gained was even more than when he forged stage five weapons.

Especially when he was already close to breaking through, the newly obtained offensive skill made Ye Feng extremely happy too.

Ye Feng inspected the mechanical arm that he had just forged, other than the metallic luster it had, it looked like a genuine arm.

Ye Feng looked at this mechanical arm while thinking to himself, was there a way for him to forge his own mechanical armor in the future?

Chapter 86: Mechanical Armor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The intensity and losses incurred from this battle had not been expected by Ye Feng, precisely so, after seeing Blake's mechanical arm, his desire to create the mechanical armor also became very intense.

Thus, the moment the battle halted temporarily, Ye Feng let the others deal with the aftermath while he went into seclusion.

Ye Feng was a Blacksmith to begin with, it was normal in others' perspective that he had a weird temperament. In fact, they heard that he had some new inspiration.

While Ye Feng was trying to make the mechanical armor, he considered the problem of fatalities and injuries. When he created Blake's mechanical arm, the purpose was to allow him to live life normally and continue his Knight and Blacksmith training, instead, the mechanical armor's purpose was to reduce deaths while raising the combat strength to the limit.

What did he need from this mechanical armor? Ye Feng thought about this question continuously, he wrote down a number of conditions on his paper, but the basic things like offense and defensive power did not need more explanation.

But later, the question of weight made Ye Feng a little troubled, even though Knights could wear heavier and thicker armor, would it not affect other aspects?

For example, if they became too bulky, would they be more prone to injuries?

Ye Feng thought about his experience in making the mechanical arm while modifying the materials and their ratio, this armor had a very specific requirement when it came to the ratio and distribution of materials.

Afterwards, the issue of formations was also a problem for Ye Feng, even though it seemed like a small process, there was great difficulty in carving all of the formations perfectly.

Even though Ye Feng was not a perfectionist, he had his own insistence on such matters, he was not going to design something that was flawed.

While drawing, Ye Feng thought about his design and in the end, he produced a passable blueprint.

After obtaining the blueprint, Ye Feng started to forge with anticipation.

But this time, the forging attempt was not as smooth for Ye Feng as before.

He still went through the usual process of refining and purifying the materials, but once the materials started to fuse, issues and flaws appeared in succession.

Ye Feng did not even consider that after successfully creating the mechanical arm, he would actually fail in making the mechanical armor, what was the problem here?

One by one, Ye Feng looked through the materials in his hand, he observed the failed product for a long time before understanding the crux of the issue — because he was overly pursuing the functionality of the armor, he had used several materials that were very hard.

The hardness level meant that the ductility of the material would fall, it would become brittle. Thus, even though Ye Feng originally intended to use the metal of life later, even before he placed it in, the forging attempt had failed already.

What sort of material could be useful in this situation? After thinking about it, Ye Feng started to look for an answer to this problem, and after a long period of consideration, he chose some black metal ink, this was a famous stage three material.

Not because this material was hard to find, but because this was very similar to the metal of life.

The metal of life could not be used with other metals properly so it was treated as the toy of children. Meanwhile, the black metal ink had another issue, it could fuse with all materials, but afterwards, two-thirds of their special traits would be destroyed.

This was the main reason why many people gave up on the black metal ink, even though it was stage three, it had no feasible use. Thus, the price was very low, it was one of the cheapest stage three materials that one could buy.

The greatest use of the black metal ink was to be used as ink by some aristocrats to write letters, the reason was not because it was ink, but because it would shine with a golden light after it dried.

After Ye Feng considered this deeply, he started to take action again, as he expected, the black metal ink was very useful in resolving the conflict of the other materials, it also raised the adhesiveness and ductility of the materials.

By the time he added in the metal of life, Ye Feng felt that it was even more successful than the previous mechanical arm, precisely so, Ye Feng's forging attempt was also very smooth sailing.

After adding in the metal of life, Ye Feng did not let the temperature fall as normal, in fact, he used more fire elements to raise the temperature and caused the metallic elements inside the black metal ink to be fully activated and dispersed as it melted, perfectly assimilating into the metal of life.

During this period, Ye Feng also carved several of the most important formations first, after the material cooled down, he continued to forge the rest of the formations.

The following processes were very familiar to Ye Feng, he hammered the metal and made it into the shape of an armor before letting it cool down. Soon after, a new armor appeared in front of Ye Feng.

Ye Feng mostly had Advanced Knights and Intermediate Knights under him, thus, when making the armor, he did not use expensive materials, he only used stage four materials when carving the core formations.

If one had insufficient strength, they could not fully control this mechanical armor, thus, the grade of this armor was intentionally made to be slightly lower.

The outer appearance of the mechanical armor was also altered and improved by Ye Feng, anyone who saw it would think of it as a perfect fitting piece of clothing, but because of the metal of life, it also had great ductility, anyone of any size could wear it.

Because this mechanical armor had black metal ink in it, it gave off a golden light and seemed very softy, but if one touched it, they could feel its thickness and sturdiness.

The core of the mechanical armor were the formations that Ye Feng carved, one could control the armor with the formations, while the energy required could be injected directly when the user was wearing it.

Chapter 87: Experiment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng looked at the product that he had forged and felt very satisfied, the truth was that at this time, Ye Feng also felt excited but he forcefully suppressed his surging emotions.

Ye Feng understood his own emotions now, but a test run was the only way to evaluate his product, he needed to see how much this mechanical armor could do through physical testing.

Thus, at this point, he needed to do some experiments to see the use of this armor and also the people most suitable for wearing it.

He ran out excitedly and ignored the people's weird glances, he shouted towards them: "I need several Advanced Knights and Intermediate Knights to come with me."

Many people knew that Ye Feng went into seclusion recently because he had a new idea when it came to forging, but the truth was, most of them had no idea what he had conceptualized, but after seeing Ye Feng's excited appearance, they knew that he had succeeded.

In fact, he must have forged something important.

After Ye Feng shouted, many Knights went to him. Because Ye Feng's status was rather important now, when these Knights approached him, they had to be inspected first before several of them were chosen to enter.

By the time these people stood in front of Ye Feng, he could not help but praise the person who arranged this. There were males and females ranging from elementary to advanced, Ye Feng had a good variety of people to experiment with.

Ye Feng looked at the Knight ahead of him and wanted to start experimenting with Advanced Knights, after they saw the mechanical armor that he created, all of them took in a sharp breath of surprise, especially the female Knights who had a natural preference for good looking things.

If not for Ye Feng's presence which made them hold themselves back, they would have gone to touch it already.

Ye Feng pointed at a random person among them and said: "Try wearing this armor."

The chosen person greeted Ye Feng respectfully before wearing this armor. Because the metal of life and black metal ink were used, it had great ductility and adaptability, it was able to perfectly fit this person despite him having a huge stature and being taller than the armor's initial size.

"Try attacking." Ye Feng said.

The person followed the instructions and punched towards the air, but he was shocked by the power he displayed: "Oh goodness, this cannot be real, how did I unleash the strength of a Bronze Knight?"

Indeed, this person who was wearing the armor had his strength elevated to the level of a Bronze Knight with ease.

Such an amplification shocked everyone who was present, they had not expected this to happen.

The truth was, everyone knew that the difference in strength between an Advanced Knight and a Bronze Knight was too huge, but Ye Feng's armor easily bypassed such a great gap.

If such an armor could raise the strength of an Advanced Knight to a Bronze Knight, then if they fought against the Warwick tribe again, they would not have the disadvantage of lower strength anymore.

Even Ye Feng was quite satisfied upon seeing such a result, but he knew that the test was far from over, afterwards, he pointed at another Advanced Knight and instructed: "Attack him, use your strongest method."

Because this armor showed immense amplification to the user, even when he asked them to do such a risky test, nobody raised any objections.

The person appointed by Ye Feng walked towards him obediently and started to attack the armored man.

The result was that against these attacks, even though the armored man took several steps back, he was not injured at all.

After seeing this, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, he was very satisfied with the test results. But now, he did not forget to continue the experiment with the Intermediate Knights as well, he wanted to see what level they could reach.

Intermediate Knights were unable to display the full strength of a stage three weapon, Ye Feng was prepared for this result, but precisely so, he was extremely happy when he saw the results of the tests.

Intermediate Knights could not use the full power of the armor, but rather than nothing being able to control them, the Intermediate Knights could use the armor with far less energy expended compared to the Advanced Knights.

After Ye Feng finished his tests, these Knights left and swore not to spread news of this new creation, but after they left, Ye Feng noticed something weird.

He had not heard any notification from the system.

But speak of the devil.

Once Ye Feng thought that, the system resounded in his ears: "Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage three superior-grade weapon, mechanical armor, you have obtained 11000 fire elemental points..."

Because Ye Feng had already made a mechanical arm earlier, he had expected the system reward to be abundant. After hearing the gains, he was very satisfied, even though he was not in a desperate state now, Ye Feng still wanted to quickly raise his strength as soon as possible.

But now, Ye Feng's attention was on this new creation that he had spent several days making, after looking at it for a while, he started to arrange his materials.

Even though the mechanical armor used mostly stage three and four materials, the huge quantity and variety of materials needed were not available to Ye Feng. Also, to change this situation, just one mechanical armor alone was not enough.

At this time, Ye Feng needed to make more armors so that there would be less fatalities on his side when the fight starts again.

Even though Ye Feng did not talk about it, he was actually quite upset about their losses and fatalities in the previous battle.

Thus, Ye Feng started to store up stage three and four materials to prepare for his forging attempts, thankfully, stage three materials were not that rare in the Auction House, he did not spend much time to collect a huge amount of materials that he could use.

Chapter 88: Strength Unveiled

In the following half a month, Ye Feng's life could be said to be very simple, he spent it all on forging.

After his first successful attempt at making a mechanical armor, Ye Feng became more proficient in his future forging attempts, while he made more armors, he also modified the blueprint of the mechanical armor.

Half a month passed, Ye Feng had four mechanical armors in his possession, although it seemed like his efficiency was low, the truth was, Ye Feng was able to make four of them in this period of time because of his outstanding forging skills.

Even though the mechanical armor was a stage three weapon, the difficulty of forging it was simply unprecedented. The huge amount of work was the main reason, even for Ye Feng who had high efficiency in forging weapons became quite slower as a result.

If this mechanical armor was given to other Blacksmiths to forge, they might not even be able to make one in half a month.

Precisely so, Ye Feng looked towards his four mechanical armors with great satisfaction, these four armors meant that he had four more Bronze Knights on his side, even though it could not turn the situation around when they fought against the Warwick tribe, he could at least ensure that the casualties would be reduced.

Because the Warwick tribe had also suffered heavy losses earlier when they fought, during this period of time, they had been recuperating and trying to recover as well. They were truly shocked by the smaller tribe members who fought without regard for their lives, but at this time, it was too late to resolve their grudges amicably.

In the few days after this, the Warwick tribe chose to attack once again.

They came with a forceful attitude, it was obvious that they were extremely confident of winning this battle.

But Ye Feng who had created the mechanical armors felt no fear or worry, during this period, he had not wasted his time, he distributed the mechanical armors that he created to the subordinates with higher strength as they underwent training.

Right now, they had already gotten quite proficient with using their mechanical armors.

Thus, when the battle started, Ye Feng stood at the forefront with everyone while Blake and the rest wearing the mechanical armors followed behind. These people were the most excited ones, after seeing the power of these mechanical armors, they also had an urge to fight.

They wanted the Warwick tribe to see how powerful they were in battle.

Once the battle started, Ye Feng and his group formed a strong front line while the remaining people only had the deal with the lingering enemies that he and his group missed out.

The truth was, Ye Feng chose to act like this because his side did not have many strong experts in comparison.

If he really wanted to deal a significant blow, Ye Feng would choose to bring his armored Knights and charge into the enemy's base.

But Ye Feng could only dream of that, he had to stay in the City of Chaos now to guard it. If he went to attack with his strongest allies, Ye Feng could not assure that these smaller tribes would still be around after he returned.

The amplification of the mechanical armor was felt most evidently by these Warwick tribe members, when they fought, they could tell that Ye Feng's subordinates had gotten much stronger compared to before.

"How can this be? How can they have so many Bronze Knights out of nowhere!" Facing so many Bronze Knights at once, the Warwick tribe members flustered at once.

They were not ignorant people, the truth was, as the stronger tribe, they had always been sensitive to the strength of Ye Feng's force, they soon noticed the difference in their strength.

Ye Feng's terrifying strength was public knowledge to everyone, but in the previous battle, the person that they could not forget was Blake, he had the most outstanding achievements.

The truth was, they had not thought highly of Blake, after all, he had lost an arm already. But the fact was that he unleashed immense combat strength that changed the situation and outcome.

This time, they had to face four people with Bronze Knight battle strength, it was something that they could not understand.

But as they saw how Ye Feng's side had gotten much stronger, they started to feel a bit of fear creeping up slowly.

Precisely so, the Warwick tribe that attacked forcefully and confidently started to lose their morale because of their fear towards the unknown, nobody wanted to enter a fight where they could die while having such low morale.

Thus, the Warwick tribe came quickly but left just as soon, they retreated in defeat after a short time.

By the time they retreated to a safe distance, they started to think about why Ye Feng's side gained such a huge boost in strength this time.

"Clothes, their clothes." At this time, many of them had a flash of inspiration and reacted to this matter. These Bronze Knights wore different clothes from the others, when they were in the battlefield, they thought that those were just simple clothes, but now, it seemed like the peculiar point were their clothes.

After someone expressed this viewpoint, many of them turned silent before they went into a commotion.

At this time, some of them stated their objection: "I think they used some unknown method to raise their strength to the level of Bronze Knight."

They would rather believe in something like this than the fact that Ye Feng was able to create clothing that could raise one's strength.

But as more and more people who fought against the armored Knights spoke up, many of them started to believe that the issue was in their clothes.

Such news reached Ye Feng and the whole of the City of Chaos, many of the forces that were not involved in this fight also learned of this fact.

"There are really few fools in this world." Ye Feng knew that the Warwick tribe had analyzed the truth behind his armor, he sighed and said that. However, he played along with this and did not confirm the power of his mechanical armor nor deny the fact that it was the reason for their growth in strength.

But regardless of what they said, at this time, the reputation of the mechanical armor had spread far and wide.

After the battle with the Warwick tribe ended, more and more people felt increasingly shocked by Ye Feng's victory, thereafter, they heard news that Ye Feng had a mysterious weapon of unbound power.

Seeing that rumors were rampant, Ye Feng publicized the name of his mechanical armor, at once, its name spread throughout the whole of the City of Chaos, becoming renowned.

Many forces looked at him greedily, but because of Ye Feng's strength, they controlled their own desires.

"We have arrived?" The person walking in front said with a lack of confidence, the truth was, the City of Chaos had been experiencing battles and conflict in recent times, but there were no restrictions placed on the people in most situations.

People were able to travel freely in and out of the city, this made the guests stare in disbelief, but soon, they understood that Ye Feng had the confidence to not shutdown the city.

These people were not familiar with the City of Chaos, but they still managed to find their way to Ye Feng's shop, although the latter was slightly surprised, he still met with these dwarves out of his curiosity towards their objective.

"Hello, I am Ye Feng. You are my guests, there is no need to feel so restricted." Ye Feng said to these dwarves with a warm expression, before these dwarves stated their intention, he was still willing to treat them as guests that he welcomed.

He knew that once word of the power of his mechanical armor got out, many forces would look at him greedily, but Ye Feng himself did not feel fear regarding that, his strength was his basis for living in this world.

Thus, regarding these dwarves that came to him, Ye Feng was filled with curiosity.

Upon seeing this, Claude immediately brought some food to these guests, he also confirmed their identity at this time.

Dwarves were basically most skilled at forging, there were eight tribes in total that were most proficient in this. Other than Claude's Divine Forging tribe, and the enemy Iron Hammer tribe, this third tribe that visited this time was called the Yoruk tribe, they were also part of the eight great tribes.

The people from the Yoruk tribe recognized Claude and showed a smile on their faces, receiving his food as they said: "Thank you, friend."

They started to eat without standing on ceremony, they wolfed down the food rapidly, it was obvious that they had not been getting good food during this period of traveling.

When Ye Feng spoke earlier, he was polite and courteous, but after seeing them gorge on the food, he felt a little amused and also helpless.

Next, he asked Claude to bring more food, but after the Yoruk tribe finished eating, they realized that they had acted rudely, although Ye Feng did not mind it and even felt more relieved upon seeing their actions.

"Sir Ye Feng, let me introduce myself, I am the representative of the Yoruk tribe, we are one of the eight dwarf tribes, we are not here to deceive you."

After they finished eating, the dwarves started to express their intention in coming here: "After hearing about the mechanical armor that you created, we became quite curious, we would like to inquire about the blueprint."

Earlier, Claude had already told Ye Feng that they were from the Yoruk tribe, thus, he was not surprised about it, but after hearing their request, Ye Feng frowned.

The Yoruk tribe member spoke at this moment: "We know that it is very rude to request this from you, but we will not let you suffer a loss in this. We can exchange for it using forging blueprints."

Ye Feng saw that this person spoke so urgently, it was clear that he knew his request was overboard, but Ye Feng was more curious about what the Yoruk tribe was using to exchange with him, he asked: "What blueprints are you offering?"

Forging blueprints were very precious things, the reason why the Yoruk tribe dared to request this was because they were confident that Ye Feng would be interested in the blueprint that they were offering him.

The Yoruk tribe member said with a hint of embarrassment: "You may not know this, but our Yoruk tribe is famous for forging all sorts of peculiar and strange things, we have brought with us our mechanical beast forging blueprint, we hope to exchange it with you."

Seeing that this Yoruk tribe member was not putting up airs, it was obvious that he truly wanted to exchange for the armor blueprint, Ye Feng had also heard from Claude that the Yoruk tribe was famous for their interest in forging all sorts of strange things.

It seemed like they were truly curious about the mechanical armor.

After hearing about the mechanical beast, Ye Feng was also quite surprised. The Yoruk tribe had definitely come with great sincerity, they took out something that was considerably valuable, thus, Ye Feng did not mind that they came here so abruptly.

"Everyone, come with me to the forging room." Ye Feng did not give a definite answer, but after hearing that Ye Feng was inviting them into his forging room, the weight on their heart was lifted.

Even if Ye Feng rejected them later, they could at least take a look at the mechanical armor and touch it.

But what the Yoruk tribe did not expect was that Ye Feng directly took out the blueprint of the mechanical armor and also one finished product from his forging room as well.

After seeing Ye Feng's actions, the people of the Yoruk tribe said nothing but took out the blueprint of the mechanical beast: "This is the mechanical beast of our tribe, it can be used by inserting energy crystals, the combat strength is first rate as well."

Ye Feng looked at the blueprint in a daze, he knew about energy crystals, they were the product of the primordial forest.

The primordial forest was an extremely dangerous place, there were mutated beasts roaming wildly in it, it was like their sanctuary.

The energy crystals were also extremely rare, although the Yoruk tribe used them to fuel the mechanical beasts, most of the time, these energy crystals could be used to help in cultivation, thus, they were very precious.

Ye Feng looked at the mechanical beast blueprint while noticing that the dwarves from the Yoruk tribe had searched in their pocket and took out several energy crystals and quickly handed them to Ye Feng with anticipation in their eyes.

Ye Feng was moved by the Yoruk tribe's sincerity at this time, although it was not good for the mechanical armor's blueprint to be leaked, seeing the mechanical beast blueprint that the Yoruk tribe gave to him in exchange, he was sufficiently satisfied.

Chapter 90: Success

Ye Feng was truly moved by the Yoruk tribe's sincerity, and because he was quite curious about the strength of the mechanical beast, he could not help but feel an urge when he saw the blueprint, he agreed to their request for a trade.

Even the Yoruk tribe members did not expect that this transaction would go so smoothly, they showed disbelief on their faces which quickly turned into intense joy.

The people from the Yoruk tribe started to research on Ye Feng's forging blueprint enthusiastically, after a long while, they explained to him that they wanted to leave.

Ye Feng did not mind their departure at all, the City of Chaos was in a sensitive period now, it was a good thing for the Yoruk tribe members to leave while they could.

Ye Feng's willingness to give the mechanical armor blueprint to the Yoruk tribe was also due to the fact that he wanted to rope them to his side, after getting his mechanical armor, they were definitely not going to side with the Warwick tribe.

Thus, Ye Feng was quite satisfied with their exchange.

Seeing that they were about to leave the City of Chaos, Ye Feng sent Claude to send them off while he went to research on the mechanical beast blueprint himself.

The mechanical beast blueprint was the treasure of the Yoruk tribe, after seeing it, Ye Feng could not help but admit that this design was truly amazing and creative.

After pondering on the blueprint for a while, Ye Feng went to the storage room and found the materials he needed, he prepared to forge a mechanical beast.

But the process was not as smooth as Ye Feng wanted, even he did not think that he would fail in this forging attempt. After all, having become a stage five Blacksmith, there were very few cases of him failing already.

And he had already failed twice earlier.

At this time, even Ye Feng could not help but curse to himself: "How can I fail again? Is luck toying with me?"

Even though it was not unnatural for Blacksmiths to fail occasionally, Ye Feng calmed himself down after two failures and started to look at the forging blueprint carefully.

After looking at it for a long time, with much more intense concentration to search for the reason why he failed, Ye Feng found that there were several areas in which he had not done perfectly earlier.

The forging skills of the dwarves were different from his own, this was not just in terms of techniques but also their understanding towards materials, it was very easy to forget about these subtle differences if he did not pay attention.

And while these differences seemed insignificant at the start, after he started to ponder over them, he realized that these small issues were the reason why he had failed multiple times earlier.

Thus, after realizing this, Ye Feng started to quickly modify his materials and afterwards, he resolved himself and started the third forging attempt.

Ye Feng adjusted his own forging methods, he tried to use the dwarves' craftsmanship in place of his own techniques, through such modification, he soon found the way to forge the mechanical beast.

After carving the final formation, Ye Feng had in fact completely forged this mechanical beast. After assembling it, he placed the energy crystal that the Yoruk tribe gave to him onto the body of the mechanical beast as it started to move slightly.

The mechanical beast was completely driven by energy crystals, the cost of using it was very high. Even though this mechanical beast did not have cognitive abilities, it had very high combat strength.

While forging it, Ye Feng had already known that the mechanical beast's combat strength was outstanding, but when he tested it, he was still mildly shocked by the power.

Right at this time, he heard the voice of the system ringing in his head —

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging the prized treasure of the Yoruk tribe, mechanical beast, you have obtained the Energy Formation chart."

Energy Formation chart?

After hearing about this reward, even Ye Feng could not help but shudder. The truth was that although the Yoruk tribe's mechanical beast was very powerful in combat, the energy consumption was also terrifyingly high.

Ye Feng was originally a little apprehensive about the mechanical beast, after all, if he used it extensively, he might go bankrupt.

But with this Energy Formation chart, it meant that he could modify the mechanical beast further and allow it to expend much less energy in the future.

And this Energy Formation could be used in not just the mechanical beast, Ye Feng had already come up with several new ways to use it in his head.

With this new Energy Formation, Ye Feng started to conceptualize the way to carve it onto the mechanical beast, and soon started on the fourth forging attempt of the mechanical beast.

Right after Ye Feng changed the formation on it, he became very satisfied with the final product.

Even though the power of the mechanical beast did not change after swapping formations, its energy consumption became much lower.

But before Ye Feng had time to celebrate, he heard news that the Warwick tribe was attacking the smaller tribes.

Undeniably, the Warwick tribe was very crafty in this matter, because they did not succeed in the two attacks against Ye Feng, they started to change their targets instead.

They aimed at those smaller tribes.

Even if they could not defeat Ye Feng, they could still take down all of those other smaller tribes. By then, no matter how strong Ye Feng was, he would still be greatly weakened overall.

Ye Feng could obviously tell what the Warwick tribe was planning, at this time, he could not help but show some killing intent, he was very angered by what they had done.

Thus, Ye Feng started to get busy, he looked at those smaller tribes that had fallen into chaos as he declared his plan with a cold expression: "We know about the Warwick tribe's intention now, thus, I propose that we attack the Warwick tribe ourselves."

After Ye Feng said that, everyone became quieter, because they had used the mechanical armors to defeat the Warwick tribe earlier, they did not object to his plan.

Seeing that Ye Feng was very confident on the matter, they showed some hesitation on their faces but he continued to speak regardless.

"We cannot stay defensive forever, since they want to attack us by targeting our weaker forces one by one, the best method is to retaliate and make them have no opportunity to do so."

The smaller tribes were silent for a while, but they chose to believe in Ye Feng in the end.

Chapter 91: Attack

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Feng saw that these smaller tribes had no confidence in himself, he smiled slightly and took out the research results he had obtained these days, the appearance of the mechanical beast shocked many of these tribes.

Ye Feng knew the truth, it was not that they did not trust him, but the fact was that they had no confidence in their own strength.

In actuality, they had lived in this place for a much longer time than Ye Feng, they knew the famous product of the Yoruk tribe, thus, they also knew about the combat strength of the mechanical beast.

This was also the reason why the Yoruk tribe could stay out of this chaos at this point in time.

Right now, seeing such a powerful force on their side, these tribes could not help but feel a surge of heroic courage, they raised no objection towards Ye Feng's plan. Thus, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

When Blake got injured, Ye Feng had already started collecting information of the Warwick tribe, after seeing that these people held no objections regarding the attack on the Warwick tribe, he started to discuss the exact plan.

Ye Feng had very comprehensive information of the Warwick tribe, right now, the various tribes were also contributing their knowledge as the situation became rowdy and loud, they were no longer scared like earlier when Ye Feng first spoke.

At this time, Ye Feng would not hold back, because of Claude's matter, the Warwick tribe was destined to be his enemies, afterwards, they even went ahead to chop off Blake's arm.

With the grudges growing between the two sides, Ye Feng also became much angrier towards them, he had not expected the Warwick tribe to be so arrogant and domineering.

If he did not have sufficient strength, Ye Feng simply could not imagine what they would do to him.

After settling on a plan, Ye Feng did not spend much time gathering the tribes, all of them responded quickly and soon, a huge group formed and moved towards the location of the Warwick tribe.

When the members of the Warwick tribe saw them, they felt very shocked.

Even though they had lost to Ye Feng multiple times, the Warwick tribe still held the same attitude towards the smaller tribes, they did not think that these weaklings would get much stronger even over time.

Especially these days when they attacked the smaller tribes with much success, the feeling of satisfaction overwhelmed their fear of losing to Ye Feng multiple times.

"Oh my goodness, these people dare to come to us?"

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me, have they not learned their lesson yet?"

"Do they really think they have a chance of beating us? Who gave them this confidence?"

The Warwick tribe members discussed among themselves, but seeing that Ye Feng's group had arrived, they quickly assembled into a group.

Except that the nonchalance on their faces proved that they did not think much of this attack, they knew the difference in strength between the two sides after all.

Even though the Warwick tribe knew that this attack was orchestrated by Ye Feng, their recent victories gave them enough confidence to not mind this matter.

Once the two sides fought, however, the Warwick tribe could no longer laugh. This time, Ye Feng took the lead and brought four Advanced Knights wearing his mechanical armors.

However, they did not move out, instead, several beasts from an unassuming corner jumped out.

As the beasts went into the territory of the Warwick tribe, Ye Feng and the rest started to move. The Advanced Knights behind him fought against the Warwick tribe without any fear of combat.

As Ye Feng started to fight, fireballs started to descend from the sky. Even though the Warwick tribe knew about Ye Feng's abilities, they had to face his fireball that were unleashed instantly with no cast time, they could not help but fluster against them.

First, the mechanical beasts bit, then, Ye Feng's fireballs flew out with the four Advanced Knights attacking behind, soon, the Warwick tribe got into a disadvantage and showed signs of losing.

The Warwick tribe had no choice but to face enemies from all directions, some of their more experienced members started to take charge and gave instructions.

"The people at the front will face Ye Feng's attacks while the ones at the back will go kill the rest of those weaklings."

At this time, everyone subconsciously followed the instructions as their panic slowly faded away.

The Warwick tribe was a large tribe after all, they had gone through countless battles, in terms of fighting, they were truly the best in their region, they had a domineering demeanor.

After a while, the situation was stabilized, but this did not last long as a commotion appeared again: "Damn it, what is that thing, I can't kill it."

"They are immune to our attacks."

"What are those things?"

The Warwick tribe thought that it was a beast tide but those were actually the mechanical beasts that Ye Feng created. Because they appeared abruptly, even the Warwick tribe had no time to see what had barged into their base.

With the mechanical beasts' attack,Ye Feng felt lower pressure now, even though he had tested the mechanical beast's attack power earlier, he did not test it fully, after all, there would be too much destruction.

But now, it seemed that he did not lose out in this exchange, the mechanical beasts had extremely high strength, although they could not think, they were able to run around and bite their enemies through instinct.

But such simple attacks had already caused chaos in the Warwick tribe's camp, they were unable to deal with the chaos.

And because the mechanical beasts attacked of their own initiative, when people tried to kill them, they would react and retaliate against the enemy.

The mechanical beasts did not feel fatigue and could not be damaged, after Ye Feng's modification, the energy required was also much lower, this was a huge problem to the Warwick tribe after all.

"They are not alive, they are mechanical beasts!" At this time, many of the werewolves in the Warwick tribe realized this, but the truth gave them even more despair.

They knew about the existence of the mechanical beast, it was a famous product of the Yoruk tribe, and precisely because they knew about it, nobody dared to attack the Yoruk tribe.

The Warwick tribe members did not know how to deal with these mechanical beasts, thus, more and more of them fell prey to their mechanical fangs.

Chapter 92: Retreat In Defeat

"Run, don't stay and let the mechanical beasts attack you." At this time, many of the Warwick tribe members had thought of a way to deal with it: "These mechanical beasts cannot attack without energy."

Undoubtedly, the Warwick tribe had chosen a rather good method to deal with it, if Ye Feng was using the Yoruk tribe's mechanical beasts, he might be affected by their tactic.

However, Ye Feng's mechanical beasts had already been altered through formations, their energy consumption was much lower.

At this time, Ye Feng had already left the battlefield, he watched casually as these people were attacked by the mechanical beasts without any means of retaliating.

The attacks of the mechanical beasts were not profound at all, they were only using ordinary bite attacks, it was just that their strength was higher than normal.

Ye Feng was not devious enough to put poison on the mechanical beasts.

But with sufficient energy to use, the mechanical beasts' simple attacks became extremely fearsome against these enemies.

At this time, the Warwick tribe became very resolute, after seeing that many people died in the fangs of the mechanical beasts, they chose to give up on their initial territory, instead, charging into Ye Feng's group.

Although they could not defeat the mechanical beasts, they could still deal with the smaller tribes who were unable to block them after this new strategy was used.

After Ye Feng saw this, he quickly joined the battlefield and attacked the werewolves of the Warwick tribe, unknowingly, they had all gathered together at this time, preparing for the final assault.

The outcome of this battle had already been decided now, the Warwick tribe lost terribly in the end.

At this time, the Warwick tribe members also displayed their powerful recovery abilities, Ye Feng noticed that many of the werewolves had secretly escaped under the cover of their comrades.

That was to say, even though Ye Feng's forces took over the Warwick tribe's territory, although they were dealt a severe blow, they had not been exterminated.

On this note, even Ye Feng was a little amazed.

But his gains from this battle were considerable, Ye Feng did not mind that a part of the Warwick tribe managed to get away, he knew the logic that defeated enemies would put up a fierce attack in desperation.

Initially, the Warwick tribe did not think that they would lose, thus, a lot of things were left behind in a hurry. Right now, Ye Feng started to arrange the things that the Warwick tribe had not brought with them.

Because they had made transactions with the Iron Hammer tribe earlier, there were many good things left behind, undoubtedly, large tribes had huge foundations, and all the wealth belonged to Ye Feng now.

The people that Ye Feng brought also helped to arrange the loot that they gained, the base camp of the Warwick tribe had a favorable location as well.

With the mentality of no wastage, Ye Feng wanted to use these resources to their limit, especially when he had such good land in his possession.

This time, after the huge victory, Ye Feng became famous and renowned, thanks to his current victory, many tribes chose to join him and his group expanded to at least twice of the original size.

Earlier, many forces chose to be neutral in the fight between Ye Feng and the Warwick tribe, but after he chased the Warwick tribe out of the City of Chaos, many of them started to express goodwill towards him. After gaining this crucial victory, even more of them approached Ye Feng with good intentions.

Precisely so, Ye Feng's strength grew by a huge margin.

But now, Ye Feng's attention was not on this matter, he understood the difference between helping out in need and being icing on the cake clearly. Thus, at this time, he did not meet with them but started to teach Claude instead.

Blake also chose to listen at the side, earlier when Ye Feng chose to take the initiative and attack, Blake stayed behind to guard their base, in a certain way, he had greatly alleviated Ye Feng's pressure when he attacked.

In terms of forging, because Claude was heavily injured earlier, Ye Feng's focus was on healing his body. Now that he had recovered, it was time for Ye Feng to test Claude seriously.

Claude was very attentive at this time, even Blake who had just forged a stage four weapon also listened attentively. The fact was that after he started using the mechanical arm, he had not done anything related to forging, Ye Feng was naturally going to let him listen in on this.

Ye Feng's teaching methods were unique to him, after he explained the traits of the materials, he started to talk about their influence on the forging process, as well as techniques and formations related to forging.

During this time, Claude lived an extremely busy but enriched life, even though Ye Feng was not hand holding him the entire way, there was still a lot of information to take in every day.

On many occasions, Blake saw dark eye bags on Claude's face.

Sometimes, Blake could hear Claude's screaming at him, he sounded like he was going insane: "What's wrong with this formation? How can I fail again!"

Claude had failed many many attempts in this period of time, although he had a firm mind, after so many failures, he could not help but suffer a huge setback.

But Claude knew that Ye Feng was teaching him wholeheartedly, he resolved himself and persevered.

Ye Feng also noticed that Claude was breaking down, but right when Ye Feng pondered on whether he should slow down the teaching, Claude fully adapted to this life.

With Ye Feng's guidance and Claude's effort in forging, his forging skills improved by leaps and bounds.

One of the reasons why Claude was working so hard was that the dwarf race's Grand Forging Competition was about to begin, this was held by all eight great tribes, as the successor of the Divine Forging tribe, Claude was unwilling to lose to the rest.

The eight great tribes of the dwarf race were very skilled at forging, while the Divine Forging tribe had declined greatly, this time, Claude wanted to reclaim their glory.

After getting Ye Feng's guidance, Claude felt extremely confident about this competition.

Chapter 93: Beginning

As time passed, Claude's forging techniques improved and became more stable, after he got past the hardest initial period of time, the following lessons were easier to learn.

At the start, Ye Feng had spent a lot of time imparting his technical knowledge first. But the most important thing about forging was actual practice, while Claude had been working hard on this aspect without ever slacking off.

Claude mainly focused on learning and absorbing the knowledge, but during this time, he did not relax or slack either, he continued to forge everyday, while Ye Feng stopped imparting him more forging related information, allowing Claude to display the use of his current knowledge through practice.

Such lessons were undoubtedly boring, many materials seemed common but there were many things to learn about them. After Claude made use of the things that Ye Feng taught him, he improved greatly.

Ye Feng had been observing Claude's actions throughout this period, seeing that the latter had been practicing according to his instructions without showing any impatience or tendency to rush, he was very satisfied with the progress.

By the time Claude started to forge using the new recipes that he made, he understood why Ye Feng taught him like this. Looking at these recipes, the traits of the materials, as well as the methods required to fuse them, Claude knew that he was very clear about the steps.

At this time, when Claude looked at the things he forged earlier, he could clearly tell what was lacking in those works, when he tried to forge the same weapons as earlier, his actions were much faster and smoother.

At this time, Ye Feng prepared more recipes for Claude to practice on, through such intensive training, Claude's forging foundation became even deeper.

Even Blake who was listening in at the side had benefited greatly.

Because the things that Claude forged recently were all sold out, he regained a lot of income and made up for the losses incurred when Kimmich came to cause trouble.

As he practiced day by day, the Grand Forging Competition of the dwarf tribes gradually got closer, but because Claude had been improving greatly during this period of time, he was very confident of doing well in it.

After deep consideration, Ye Feng decided to let Blake guard this place while he brought Claude to the Grand Forging Competition personally.

During this period, although the Warwick tribe was not completely wiped out by Ye Feng, they had vanished entirely without any commotion. Ye Feng did not let down his guard, after the situation with Blake, he did not want to let Claude go to the competition alone.

At this time, Claude also agreed to this without second thought, the truth was, he wanted Ye Feng to stay with him and teach him more so that he could win.

The Divine Forging tribe really needed a huge win in this competition to gain some reputation back, thus, Claude swore to himself that he could not lose this one.

At this time, Ye Feng felt that Claude did not need new knowledge, he wanted Claude to work on his existing foundation and renew his skills.

Only by firmly grasping what he already knew in his hands could he win what he wanted.

But Ye Feng did not reject Claude now, he gave him a hard problem so that Claude could understand this logic himself, Ye Feng chose to keep silent.

After Claude received such a tough problem, he spent his time thinking about it but did not get an answer even after a long time.

Finally, on one night, Claude could not help but ask Ye Feng for help: "Teacher, what is the most crucial element that affects the result of a forging attempt?"

Ye Feng looked at the frustrated Claude but did not answer, he asked instead: "What do you think?"

"Initially, I thought that it was the materials, but afterwards, I found that the recipes were important too, after that, I thought forging techniques were important, I have no idea which is the answer that I want."

Ye Feng wanted to say something but immediately, his expression turned cold as he grabbed onto Claude before rolling away from his spot. Before Claude understood what had happened, he saw that a werewolf had appeared in the area that they were previously at.

Now, Claude knew what had happened.

The werewolf saw that Ye Feng and Claude managed to dodge this sneak attack so easily, he felt indignant and did not try to escape after failing, instead, he went straight for Claude.

At this moment, both sides knew that Claude was Ye Feng's weakness.

After Claude was dragged away by Ye Feng, he successfully dodged the werewolf's attack. But such an assault had severely infuriated Ye Feng, they were originally going on this trip without provoking anyone, but to think that the werewolves would make such a decision.

At this time, Ye Feng did not hold back, he was not thinking of keeping the enemy alive. Thus, he attacked the werewolf consecutively, and because the werewolf was slower in movement, Ye Feng could deal with him without breaking a sweat.

Claude looked at this werewolf's corpse and calmed down completely, he asked: "They ambushed us on the trip to the dwarf race's competition primarily because of me, right?"

Ye Feng knew about this reason very clearly, because Claude had improved greatly during this period of time, it was not strange that an assassin would be sent out to deal with him at this time.

At this time, Ye Feng took a pole and inspected the werewolf corpse, he found a small seal on the sword at his waist.

In order to prevent fake goods from being sold in the market, some Blacksmiths would place their signature on their products.

For example, some famous Blacksmiths would place their logo on a part of the weapon that would not affect the quality to prove that they forged it. After Claude saw the seal's logo, he confirmed: "It belongs to the Iron Hammer tribe."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 94: Reaching

Regarding the logo, Claude was clearer than Ye Feng. Thus, after Claude said this, Ye Feng agreed with it, it was not easy to refine such a high quality weapon after all.

This meant that there were few possibilities available, not many people would sacrifice a high quality weapon just to frame someone.

Even Ye Feng would not waste a weapon for such a purpose.

After such an assassination attempt, the two of them traveled the rest of the distance very carefully, but nothing else happened as they successfully reached the Grand Forging Competition's location.

At this time, Ye Feng saw a familiar face, it was the member of the Yoruk tribe who had exchanged blueprints with him earlier.

Once the Yoruk tribe noticed Ye Feng, all of them showed a warm smile as the person said: "Sir Ye Feng, you have arrived."

Ye Feng also went to talk with them: "I came here with Claude, the matter in the City of Chaos has not ended, I need to ensure his safety."

Ye Feng's words were said for everyone to hear, at this time, he noticed that there were many hostile gazes towards him, although Ye Feng did not know why they were doing that, at this time, he did not want to affect the competition for his own reasons.

The truth was, this competition was very important to Claude.

After the Yoruk tribe heard of the matters in the City of Chaos, they showed excitement on their faces, it was clear that they were paying huge attention to it: "During this period, we've heard many news about the City of Chaos. I heard that the tribes under your lead defeated the Warwick tribe's alliance."

Ye Feng nodded: "We were lucky."

The truth was, Ye Feng could sense that only the Yoruk tribe had no animosity towards him, the rest of the dwarves looked towards him with assessing glances, there were also many of those with evil gazes.

Ye Feng did not want to create enemies for Claude now, the Divine Forging tribe was not able to take such an impact anymore. Thus, when talking, Ye Feng restrained himself and did not take the initiative to talk to the dwarves he was unfamiliar with.

But he would not reject the friendliness that the Yoruk tribe showed.

At this time, the Yoruk tribe rebuked Ye Feng on purpose: "How can that be? I heard that you have already taken over the Warwick tribe's territory, this is a symbol of your strength, there is no need to be too polite."

"It was all thanks to the mechanical beasts."

"We've heard that the mechanical beasts that you created are even better than the ones that we make, they can last a longer time." The Yoruk tribe brightened up when they talked about forging: "Truly as expected of you."

From seeing their expressions, Ye Feng knew that the Yoruk tribe was really enthusiastic about forging, even though they provided Ye Feng the blueprint of the mechanical beast, after they heard that his creation was even better, although they showed interest in it, there was no greed.

At this time, they did not show any intention of asking Ye Feng to give them the blueprint, instead, they felt deep admiration towards his talent...

Ye Feng liked such people personally, he was not stingy towards them as he explained —

"Actually, I only modified the initial blueprint a little. Even though the mechanical beast had incredible strength, its greatest weakness is the expenditure of energy, once it uses up the energy crystal, the mechanical beast will be useless. On top of the foundation, I added in several formations to ensure that the mechanical beast will have sufficient energy to function."

"This modification is incredible, to tell the truth, we have tried to make such modifications ourselves, but the effect was too poor, we had to give up."

Ye Feng and the Yoruk tribe conversed harmoniously, they exchanged questions and answers, during this period, Ye Feng also gained some new ideas and inspiration.

The Yoruk tribe also benefited greatly from this.

But those who could experience such a scene of joyful conversations were the minority after all. Although at this time, Ye Feng's name had already been mentioned by many forces, he was even more popular among the dwarves, Ye Feng could still feel some malice from the eyes of some of these dwarves.

Even though Ye Feng did not expect everyone to like this, he still felt amused by this gathering. Initially, the so-called Grand Forging Competition was just the sharing of forging knowledge by some of these tribes.

But later, they started to compete among each other.

Ye Feng thought about this but he did not show much of an expression, at this time, someone from the Yoruk tribe came to him and whispered in his ear: "They are from the Heavenly Forging tribe, they do not like humans, be careful against them."

Ye Feng nodded, in this competition ground, although many people did not wear specialized clothing, logos could be seen on their shirts that showed they were from different tribes.

The Yoruk tribe was very enthusiastic about explaining this: "The Heavenly Forging tribe had always thought that their skills were obtained from heaven, they do not like to interact with others, they don't even bother talking to some of our tribes, the reason they came here..."

Before the Yoruk tribe member finished his word, Ye Feng understood what they were saying. Since the Heavenly Forging tribe did not like to interact, the reason that they came to this competition was clearly not to talk.

They were here for the competition, for the title of number one.

Even though Ye Feng was meeting them for the first time, he could see from their eyes they had looked down on everyone and everything, like they were high and mighty.

But Ye Feng was very amused by their thoughts, he felt that interacting with others to learn new knowledge was a very common and wise thing. In this competition, he did not feel that this Heavenly Forging tribe would emerge victorious.

After all, he had been Claude's teacher for so long, he was confident that Claude would do him proud.

Chapter 95: Winning

The truth was, Ye Feng could already tell that the rest of the dwarf tribes that he saw truly did not like him, or rather, they did not like humans at all.

But they were not stupid, even though the Heavenly Forging tribe showed that they did not like him, they also did not say anything.

Everyone knew what strength Ye Feng had.

They did not dare to provoke him.

After all, the Warwick tribe's outcome was known to everyone, these dwarves did not think that their combat strength surpassed the werewolves.

Even though the dwarf tribes showed an ambiguous attitude towards Ye Feng, and the atmosphere was a little peculiar, the Grand Forging Competition still started regardless.

The host of this Grand Forging Competition was an elderly dwarf with white hair. The Yoruk tribe explained to Ye Feng that this person was quite reputable in the dwarf tribes, he was also from the Heavenly Forging tribe.

Even though the Heavenly Forging tribe was arrogant and proud, they truly had the abilities to feel that way. Out of ten competitions held among the tribes, they had won more than six of them.

Thus, the Heavenly Forging tribe had always been hosting this Grand Forging Competition, this time was no exception.

The elderly dwarf from the Heavenly Forging tribe displayed an indomitable authority as he explained the rules of the competition sternly: "This competition will have the contestants forge their own signature weapon, the highest grade weapon will win."

"The winner will obtain stage five forging materials, and also take three of the things that the elder has forged."

Once the elderly dwarf said that, the scene went into a commotion, they were evidently shocked by the rewards. After all, it was very rare to see such abundant rewards even in the previous competitions.

Stage five materials were very valuable, while the chance to take three forged items was unprecedented.

Ye Feng frowned as he looked at the elderly dwarf, he soon smiled as he understood the reason. The Heavenly Forging tribe was extremely confident of winning this competition, in that case, if Claude won the competition, the Heavenly Forging tribe's plan would be ruined.

Originally, Claude was very nervous, but after hearing the rules of the competition, he became very confident in himself. He had not slacked off in this period of time, while this competition was also a training opportunity for the youngsters, the older dwarves would not participate.

Precisely so, this competition was not very hard, Claude had already started to think of what he would forge and the ratio of materials he would use the moment he heard the rules.

By the time Claude was done, he saw that many of the people had started to forge already, even though he was the last person to start, his actions were not slow at all.

After Claude finished refining and purifying his materials, he had already caught up to most of them, and after he started carving the formations, he had already pulled ahead of them.

Claude's actions could not be hidden from the spectators, even a judge turned around to look, being evidently shocked by Claude's speed.

Claude worked with no nervousness, after he finished carving the final formation, he took in a deep breath and signaled to the judge.

The judge had been observing Claude's actions to begin with, after seeing this, he immediately went to inspect the weapon.

"He forged a stage three superior-grade weapon." After hearing the judge's words, many people were shocked. The forging of a stage three weapon was not so easy, at this speed and with this quality, it was truly praiseworthy.

After Claude finished his forging, the rest were also done. But in terms of quality, none could compare to Claude, he was undeniably the champion this time.

After learning of this, everyone's expression turned unsightly. It was an undeniable fact that Claude won the competition, even if the other tribes were very unhappy with this result, they could not go against their conscience and say that their work was superior to Claude's.

At this time, Claude was very excited, he looked towards Ye Feng with gratitude in his eyes, while Ye Feng also clapped to congratulate him.

But at this time, a change occurred.

Before Claude received his trophy from the judge, he was interrupted by someone: "No, I object, he cannot be the champion."

But at this time, many people were stunned, even Ye Feng was surprised, not expecting anyone to come out and object to such an obvious result.

Right at this time, a commotion occurred among the people, even the judge could not help but frown, he looked at the crowd and said: "Silence, everyone, keep quiet!"

This judge was clearly someone with high authority among the dwarves, after he spoke, everyone went silent.

"Claude is a member of the Divine Forging tribe, he made a better weapon than any of you guys in this competition, he is undeniably the champion, on what basis are you objecting to it?"

This person was clearly not concerned about respect now, Ye Feng also recognized that this person was from the Heavenly Forging tribe, he was unable to accept this result.

"Claude won this forging competition, that is not wrong. But what I want to say is, his forging techniques are learned from a human. This is a dwarf competition, thus, I would like to suggest that we void his results!"

After the Heavenly Forging tribe's member said that, many people spoke up for him and agreed, the dwarves were not as close to Ye Feng as the Yoruk tribe after all. Earlier when Claude won, they felt indignant, but they had to admit his victory.

But now, when Claude's identity was questioned, they started to respond:" That's right, that is completely right."

"Even though he is a dwarf, ask him, who did he learn his forging skills from?"

"He is a dwarf who learned techniques from a human, because of this, I suggest that we exile him from the dwarf race."

This suggestion was met with a resounding wave of agreement, Claude's expression turned pale, he felt like the entire world had abandoned him.

Chapter 96: Breaking Off All Relations

Even though Claude had not reacted to the fact that he was exiled from the race, the truth was, many of the dwarves were also equally confused at the moment.

They looked at the heated scene that was about to go out of control and felt a little shocked.

The Yoruk tribe smiled coldly at this time: "Your Heavenly Forging tribe is truly impartial right now, since you cannot beat them, you exile them. This is fairness at its finest."

After the Yoruk tribe's rebuttal, some of those who felt that this was not the right thing to do also stood up.

"He is a dwarf, of course he can participate."

"There are no such rules in this competition."

"The Heavenly Forging tribe has truly fallen from grace, in order to eliminate those who are stronger than them, they will do anything they can."

...

Sarcastic voices continued to speak up for this matter, even though many people were unwilling to get involved in such an issue, the idea of exiling a dwarf was truly sinister and vicious.

These years, the tribes had also undergone many transactions with the humans and other races, they exchanged things for their respective needs.

The Heavenly Forging tribe's action had detrimental effects on their benefits, moreover, this was a completely illogical thing to do.

Right now, they would not break off relations with the various races, thus, in the future competitions, such a term could be used against them.

It was true that they were not pleased that Claude was the winner, after all, he was the successor of the Divine Forging tribe, his strength meant that the Divine Forging tribe was going to get stronger. Precisely so, they did not want him to win.

But that did not mean that they would support the Heavenly Forging tribe, this tribe had been too domineering and arrogant, they had offended many people.

These people wanted to see Claude humiliate the Heavenly Forging tribe, how could they let go of this opportunity?

Even the judges did not think that this award ceremony would end up like this, the truth was, there was nothing much they could do. It was true that Claude had won this competition, and they also thought highly of his future potential.

However, compared to the benefit of their tribe, it was completely incomparable, thus, they had not spoken.

At this time, none of these dwarf tribe members could convince the other side.

Originally, the Divine Forging tribe was considered a weaker tribe, but after they received the support of various tribes, they straightened their backs and firmed their stance, this was Claude's undisputed victory.

Even Ye Feng did not think that the situation would progress like this, this matter had caused almost everyone to feel unhappy and unsatisfied. The truth was, the dwarf tribes had deep-seated grudges towards each other that had always been dormant.

Today, they found a way to express their grudges. Initially, they were talking about the issue of Claude's exile, but soon, the tribes started attacking each other.

Claude who was the trigger of this entire situation could do nothing about it. He looked towards Ye Feng with an expression of helplessness, seemingly seeking help.

But Ye Feng was a complete outsider in this matter, he could not interfere.

Because the Heavenly Forging tribe had gotten relatively good results in all the previous competitions, and because they had always been a dominant tribe all these years, they had never faced such great objection to their decision, right now, all of the Heavenly Forging tribe members showed expressions of embarrassment and anger.

They were used to being high and mighty, they had not expected that these tribes would oppose them so openly like this. After the Yoruk tribe came out and accused them of being petty sore losers, they had already lost their argument.

The Heavenly Forging tribe members were extremely furious, they lost control of their emotions: "Since you are all so unhappy with us over these years, we will no longer participate in the Grand Forging Competition from now on."

At this time, nobody tried to stop them, instead, there were only cold snickers: "Your Heavenly Forging tribe only knows how to use such petty tricks, if the champion is not your tribe, you will ignore the results? Are you telling me that the Grand Forging Competition was created to let you win?"

"Since you can't be the winner, the Grand Forging Competition has no meaning to exist?"

The Heavenly Forging tribe did not expect that their words had such an impact. Although they felt that they were acting too rashly, because some people refused to give in on this matter, they added fuel to the fire before taking their leave.

The entire Grand Forging Competition ended after such a chaotic mess.

Ye Feng originally thought that his disciple would be crowned as the champion, to think that he would see this spectacle happening in front of him, he could not help but sigh internally.

Now that there was no reason to stay here anymore, Ye Feng started to return to the City of Chaos with Claude.

But the Yoruk tribe chased after them, saying: "We have to go on the same route for a while, let's leave together, we can discuss forging matters along the way."

Ye Feng was not going to refuse the friendly invitation of the Yoruk tribe, he could tell that they were trying to protect him on this journey back.

He agreed immediately.

Because of what happened in the competition, Claude was feeling a little down.

Ye Feng did not know how to console Claude, but at this time, they met with an ambush again.

Even Ye Feng could not help but curse out loud at this time: "Is this ever going to stop?"

Because of the situation earlier, Ye Feng was feeling quite angry now, and because of his emotions, he did not hold back against these enemies.

After he dragged Claude away from the initial attack, a weapon appeared in Ye Feng's hand as he slashed at the attacker. At the same time, Ye Feng also scattered a barrage of fireballs at the enemies without hesitation.

Even these attackers did not expect that Ye Feng was a Magician, while they defended against the fireballs anxiously, Ye Feng's weapon arrived before them. It was completely unexpected to them that Ye Feng had such immense combat strength.

Because Ye Feng had been feeling annoyed, against these enemies, he fought with his full strength. Furthermore, the sheer number of enemies forced him to react with such intensity.
