Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the evening, both Ye Feng and Claude were in front of the forging furnace in the Blacksmith Shop, immersed in their work.
However, there was a loud sound at the Blacksmith Shop’s door, it was, once again, helplessly forced open again by some brutes.
Two tiny figures were the unwelcome guests!
Dwarves!
The dwarves had shown up again.
The rude and arrogant dwarf that came last time, Clayton, was one of the two visitors!
Right now, Clayton did not show the arrogance when he first visited, nor did he show the pitiful look when he escaped from the Vast Eagle tribe.
“Where is Ye Feng?”
But Clayton did not stay that way for long, he raised his head up once again, looking at Claude who was at the forging furnace arrogantly and asked in a cold tone.
Claude’s forging was interrupted, he was originally upset, but after seeing Clayton’s appearance, he instantly got angry.
But once he saw the elderly dwarf carrying a huge hammer beside Clayton, Claude was shocked, he asked in a nervous tone.
“Elder Gloin?”
1
Claude was extremely nervous, even his voice was sharper by a pitch.
The reason was simple.
This Gloin was a famous elder of the Divine Forging tribe, he was a respected stage five Master Blacksmith.
Not only the forging of stage two or three equipment, in the case of this Elder Gloin, he could even forge stage five weapons as easily as breathing.
In the Divine Forging tribe, Gloin was definitely one of the Master Blacksmiths that had the greatest seniority.
A stage five Master Blacksmith had visited them in such a rude and brazen manner, he was evidently not here with good intentions!
“Hmph.”
“You are just a piece of trash that the tribe exiled.”
“How dare you speak to an esteemed elder like myself?”
1
“You helped an outsider to steal the benefits of the Divine Forging tribe! Kid, when you were exiled, why didn’t you just starve to death instead?”
1
Gloin looked at Claude in disdain, his tone was full of resentment towards him.
The Auction House canceled their orders with the Divine Forging tribe, it was because of a kid named Ye Feng and a piece of trash that the Divine Forging tribe exiled.
After finding out about this, the Divine Forging tribe became enraged.
Gloin even made the initiative to come on this trip!
“Ask that Ye Feng to get out here, I want to compete with him in forging skills…”
Gloin threw his hammer to the ground and caused the tiles to crack as he spoke in a cold tone.

“I won’t allow you to insult my teacher!”
Rage flashed in Claude’s eyes.
Earlier, when Gloin insulted him, he did not feel such anger! But once Gloin insulted Ye Feng, Claude wanted to charge forward and fight with him.
“You want to compete with me in forging skills?”
At this time, a voice resounded from deep within the Blacksmith Shop as a young figure slowly walked out.
It was none other than Ye Feng.
When Ye Feng appeared, the elderly Gloin with white hair showed an expression of shock, he did not expect Ye Feng to be this young.
Even though the dwarf race was favored by the Great Deity of Forging, when he was at Ye Feng’s age, he was only at the level of Clayton.
He was able to forge stage three weapons and became a stage three Blacksmith, even among Blacksmiths of the same level, he was considered mid-tier and was a genius of the dwarf race!
But it seemed like Ye Feng was even younger than Clayton?
“You are Ye Feng?”
“If you do not dare to compete, you can kneel down on the floor and kowtow to the two of us and apologize. Apologize to our dwarf race and the Divine Forging tribe, admit that we are stronger than you…”
1
Gloin held his hammer as he spoke in a threatening tone and expression.
In the Divine Forging tribe, he was considered one of the stronger ones.
Not only in forging talent, even his Knight talent was considered superior! Even though he was short and old, he still had the strength of a Bronze Knight.
After all, he had lived for many years.
“Quickly kowtow to us!”
Clayton had a smug expression of schadenfreude, he wanted to slam Ye Feng’s head on the ground and humiliate him.
After all, earlier, in the Vast Eagle tribe, Ye Feng had humiliated him to the limit!
“How about this?”
“Let’s compete in another way.”
“Clayton is your disciple? How about we let our disciples compete and determine the winner instead?”
Ye Feng said in a plain tone.
He did not agree to Gloin’s challenge.
Only an idiot would agree to challenging a stage five Master Blacksmith as a stage four Blacksmith, especially when this involved their pride and glory.
If Ye Feng was currently at Gloin’s age, then this old man would not even be qualified to look up to Ye Feng!
The Divine Forging tribe had treated him as a huge enemy, they sent a stage five Master Blacksmith so that this would assure their victory?
Ye Feng considered many things, but he still remained smiling on the outside.
When facing Gloin, his expression did not change at all!
Even before Gloin agreed to this, at the other end, Clayton, a genius of the dwarf race, flew into a rage.
He did not dare to scream at Ye Feng, but he pointed at Claude and started to shout.
“You want me to compete with this trash?”
“You are simply humiliating me!”
“Everyone knows that I, Clayton, am a genius of the dwarf race, and this Claude is merely a piece of trash that the tribe exiled.”
Clayton was extremely furious and humiliated, his anger reached a tipping point.
“Will you place your reputation as a Master Blacksmith on the line, Ye Feng?”
Gloin questioned.
Ye Feng nodded.
“Sure.”
Immediately, Gloin made the decision for Clayton.
“Alright!”
“We’ll let these two compete!”
“But there should be some wager for this to be interesting and official.”
Saying so, Gloin took out an ore that was gold in color.
Profound spirit crystal, peak stage four.
A supplementary material for stage five weapons or a main material for a peak stage four weapon.
“He is really rich!”
Ye Feng sighed, he had to wager the Thundering Greatsword and some stage four materials to balance his side of the bet.
Ye Feng was extremely confident in the growth of Claude’s skill. In his opinion, the so-called genius Clayton, was not even comparable to one of Claude’s fingers.
“Teacher…”
Claude was not mentally prepared at all, he had a nervous expression and was afraid that he might bring shame to Ye Feng.
Not only would he lose the accumulated reputation that he had gained, his teacher would also lose the first stage four weapon that he had ever made, the Thundering Greatsword.
Regarding this, Ye Feng showed an encouraging expression.
“Believe in your own strength.”
“You are already very strong! Clayton is merely reputed without the proper skills, you can definitely thrash him…”
Ye Feng was not lying, in terms of stage two forging, Clayton completely suppressed Clayton. After all, this competition was not going to be about the forging of stage three equipment.

Claude was bound to win!
