Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Snell had shattered many stage three weapons using his power as a mid-tier Bronze Knight and this pair of special eagle claws.
However, he could not imagine that Ye Feng was now a stage four Blacksmith and held the stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword!
Bam!
Lightning flashed.
Slashed by the Thundering Greatsword, blood splattered.
Vast Eagle tribe elder Snell let out a pitiful cry as he fell from the sky, his claws were completely cut by Ye Feng’s Thundering Greatsword on the spot!
Furthermore, the terrifying power of lightning spread towards his body, turning it into a charred corpse immediately.
“You, you actually killed our Elder Snell!”
The three Bronze Knights were quickly enraged, they flew to the sky and dived down towards Ye Feng.
On the other hand, Clayton had an expression of fear and shock.
“Oh Great Deity of Forging.”
“Are my eyes deceiving me, that is actually a stage four weapon! Is Ye Feng able to forge stage four weapons now?”
“If he was not the Blacksmith who made it, how would he get a stage four weapon?”
Clayton sensed that the situation was turning bad, while the Vast Eagle tribe was still enraged and fighting against Ye Feng now, he quickly turned and ran while nobody noticed him.
He had provided all of Ye Feng’s information! But he did not know that Ye Feng possessed a stage four weapon.
The Vast Eagle tribe would definitely put the blame of Elder Snell’s death on him, he did not want to be the Blacksmith slave of the Vast Eagle tribe!
Furthermore, even if the Vast Eagle tribe let him off, Ye Feng would definitely slaughter him.
Clayton ran away in fear, he soon vanished from the place!
As for Ye Feng, facing the assault of three Bronze Knights, he did not continue fighting. He grabbed Claude and headed back to the City of Chaos.
He moved rapidly along the way.
After getting away from the Vast Eagle tribesmen, Ye Feng returned to the City of Chaos and went back to his Blacksmith Shop.
The Bounty Hunters and the Auction House had gone to him several times, handing the results of their investigation to Ye Feng.
It was as he expected!
Clayton worked with the Vast Eagle tribe to target him.
Right now, with the death of the Vast Eagle tribe elder, the tribe that Snell was in went into chaos, the three Bronze Knights were fighting over the elder position by attacking each other.
A week passed, Claude finally healed from his injuries.
“Teacher, I am sorry, I almost caused you to be enslaved by the evil Vast Eagle tribe.”
“I am already very grateful that you took in a useless dwarf like me! But I should not be the cause of your danger.”
Claude said with a look of guilt.
But Ye Feng did not let him finish his words, he took a piece of ore that had formation carvings from the table and asked in slight surprise: “Claude, did you carve this?”
Claude nodded.
During this period of time, even though he was recuperating, Claude did not stop his studying of forging skills, since he could not forge weapons now, he practiced carving formations.
The ore with carved formations that Ye Feng was holding was one of his recent results, but it was uncertain if this would be successful if carved on actual weapons.
“You have already completed the formation! Carving of formations is the biggest hurdle for a stage two Blacksmith to become a stage three Blacksmith!”
“You actually passed it.”
“Once you learn proper forging techniques, I am sure that your growth in forging stage one, two, or even stage three weapons would be rapid.”
Ye Feng had a look of approval.
Regarding this, Claude also had an excited expression.
“Teacher, are you serious?”
“The formation I carved has no problems, even on an incomplete stage three weapon, it can succeed?”
Claude had never been so happy before, his eyes shone with radiance that Ye Feng had never seen before.
Ye Feng nodded heavily at his words.
“Indeed.”
“You are already able to carve formations.”
“Once you get control over the forging techniques, you will grow rapidly, stepping into stage three from the peak of stage two would not be a problem for you.”
Saying so, Ye Feng paused for a moment before continuing.
“Your injuries are almost fully healed now. Come with me, I have been too busy these days with your absence!”
“Coincidentally, the Auction House has just accidentally sent us some ordinary stage one and two ores, you can use them to practice!”
“Failing is fine too, the Auction House has sent a large quantity of stage one and two ores by mistake, you can afford to fail many times.”
The forging techniques for stage one and two weapons were not too different! The difference was merely in terms of varying materials.
Normally speaking.
For a stage one Blacksmith, after making peak stage one weapons for a few years, they would be able to succeed in making stage two weapons!
The true hurdle was the carving of formation for stage three Blacksmiths, and the fusion of special traits and the cooperation of high grade forging materials for stage four Blacksmiths. After all, the arrangement of special traits without causing any conflict would result in many complex and tedious steps.
Before the forging furnace, Claude looked at the forging ores that had piled up into two mountains, gratitude was shown all over his face.
Such a vast amount of stage one and two ores would be worth at least seven to eight thousand gold coins, how could the Auction House send it by mistake!
This was clearly arranged by his teacher who was afraid that he might feel mental stress from failing, which was why he said that.
“Teacher, I won’t let you down!”
“I will definitely forge a weapon and become a Blacksmith, even if I am only an ordinary stage one Blacksmith…”
As he continued to fail and accumulate experience, he wrote them down in his personal notebook.
A month passed.

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

“Teacher, I finally succeeded in forging, I am considered a stage two Blacksmith now, right?”
Claude went to meet Ye Feng excitedly while carrying that Dragon Tooth Spear.
Ye Feng was still experimenting with the fusion of special traits for stage four weapons, as well as the use of various materials, after taking a look at the Dragon Tooth Spear, surprise was present in his eyes.
Not because the quality was low.
But because the quality was too high!
It was hard to believe that this was an extremely untalented Blacksmith’s first creation. Even if someone said that this was made by those senior peak stage two Blacksmiths, Ye Feng would believe it.
This Dragon Tooth Spear was still inferior to the stage two weapons that Ye Feng made, but compared to most stage two Blacksmiths out there, it was already superior.
Claude had finally grown up.
The Great Deity of Forging did not ignore his endless hard work and sweat after all!
