Forging The Path To Godliness Chapter 49 - Competing Against Geniuses

Chapter 49: Competing Against Geniuses

Ye Feng’s words had two meanings, regarding the stage three Blacksmiths, he was not only talking about the genius disciples of the dwarf race but also his own disciple Claude.

But in the eyes of these stage three genius Dwarven Blacksmiths, Claude was nothing significant.

In their opinion, Claude was still the same trash that the Divine Forging tribe exiled back then.

Even if he had stage two forging skills and was no longer considered trash, he was still too weak when compared to the dwarves.

The reason why they agreed to the compet.i.tion was that they really did not think Claude was a challenge, they only cared about his ident.i.ty as Ye Feng’s disciple, they wanted to trample on this ident.i.ty and step on Ye Feng’s reputation. That would allow them to become famous in the Divine Forging tribe and the entire Land of Chaos.

“Of course.”

“Stage three Blacksmiths naturally have to compete by forging stage three weapons!”

The stage five Master Blacksmith Gloin nodded slowly.

But after saying that, Gloin muttered the last sentence that Ye Feng said and vaguely had a guess, he looked towards Claude with uncertainty and suspicion.

After that, Gloin shook his head with a mocking expression.

“How can that be?”

“Back then, when testing their forging talent, I was present too. This kid’s forging talent is simply abysmal.”

“Even with the nurture of a shockingly talented Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng, after reaching the peak of stage two, he has already hit the limit of his limit…”

Gloin shook his head, letting go of this ridiculous thought as he started to organize the details of this compet.i.tion.

After the battle of the Heavenly Snake tribe and Vast Eagle tribe, with the latter’s defeat, the forging abilities of the Divine Forging tribe started to get questioned and criticized by the major forces.

In contrast, the weapons that Ye Feng forged were sought after by all the forces and tribes in the Land of Chaos.

Their Divine Forging tribe really needed to win this compet.i.tion against Ye Feng to stabilize and regain their reputation!

Soon, the compet.i.tion began.

Before various forging furnaces, all sorts of materials and ores were placed. Claude and the other Divine Forging tribe’s dwarves were standing on the stage.

Regarding the insult of his ex-tribesmen and their mocking gaze, Claude was unmoved as he kept a firm expression.

“I cannot lose!”

“Teacher brought me here to get rid of my t.i.tle as trash and repay the humiliation they inflicted on me, I cannot let my teacher down.”

“Even if I lose my life here, I will not allow my teacher’s reputation to suffer any losses! I must win…”

Claude said with a determined expression.

Teacher Ye Feng was the person who pulled him out of the darkest abyss, he was the Deity that Claude worshiped in this world.

This faith was everything that mattered!

Soon, the forging started.

All of the forging furnaces were turned on as the fire started, pieces of forging materials were skillfully put into the forging furnace by these genius young dwarves.

Next, they started hammering away.

At once, in the entire place, there were only sounds of hammer strikes.

“Ye Feng, do you think my dwarf disciples have strength that can threaten your disciple?”

Gloin smiled and walked over, saying flattering words and trying to overstate Claude’s strength.

In that case, after they defeated him, they could openly spread news that Ye Feng’s disciple had lost to the genius disciples of their Divine Forging tribe, this was something that they could use to regain their pride.

Regarding this, Ye Feng also understood Gloin’s intention.

Next, he showed a mocking expression and looked at this stage five Master Blacksmith as he said his true thoughts.

“Not a single one can beat him!”

“These so-called genius disciples of the Divine Forging tribe, in my eyes, are not even qualified to stand on the same stage as Claude.”

After Ye Feng finished saying that, immediately, an elder of the dwarf race became extremely angered, he screamed and wanted to go over and beat up Ye Feng.

It was a pity because Ye Feng was very strong.

n.o.body in the Divine Forging tribe could beat Ye Feng, that elder was lucky and escaped a round of thrashing because an elder beside him held him down!

Not long after, the weapons were completed.

After that, it was time to test the might of their weapons.

“Claude, here’s some advice, you should just admit defeat now!”

“Hahahaha!”

“A piece of trash that the tribe threw out back then still dares to come back and challenge us, this is simply too laughable.”

With Clayton taking the lead, the geniuses of the dwarf race started to mock Claude.

It was a pity that their laughter was about to end.

Because Claude swung the Knight’s Longsword in his hand and instantly, Clayton and the others’ weapons broke into two.

On the spectator’s seat, the elders of the Divine Forging tribe were shocked and stunned, they all stood up and looked towards the Knight’s Longsword.

“A Knight’s Longsword at the peak of stage three?”

The Knight’s Longsword in Claude’s hand was not an ordinary stage three weapon, the forging materials had been refined to the limit, he also added in some Sharpness Formations and some special traits.

Thus, it erupted with such power.

This Knight’s Longsword could unleash great power and easily break stage three inferior-grade or middle-grade weapons, it showed the extent of Claude’s forging skill.

He was already top-rate for stage three forging.

In time, with some training, he would become a peak stage three Master Blacksmith like Ye Feng once was.

“We lost!”

“This trash… Claude is too strong!”

Clayton and the others were in disbelief.

Soon, the others learned that Claude was not even a Blacksmith Apprentice months ago, but now, he reached stage three and even had such great abilities.

Immediately, the Divine Forging tribe went into an uproar.

In the Divine Forging tribe, some Dwarven Blacksmiths shouted excitedly and wanted the elders to discuss the idea of letting Claude become the next leader of the tribe.

In terms of forging skills, dwarves despised outsiders and looked down on Blacksmiths that were of other races, but they also held extreme respect and reverence towards dwarves with superior forging skills!

The dwarf elders did not think this sight was strange.

“This Claude’s teacher is a human, his forging skills are all learned from that human, how can Claude possibly become the next tribe leader?”

“That is impossible!”

Voices of the opposition appeared.

It was that dwarf elder who wanted to beat up Ye Feng earlier, he jumped out and screamed loudly, pointing towards Ye Feng and provoking him openly.

Thus, because of this elder’s words, some dwarves also responded and objected to Claude being the next leader.

At this time, Gloin kept away the surprise in his eyes regarding Claude and spoke to Ye Feng.

“If you can use your forging skills to convince these people and suppress the eight elders of the Divine Forging tribe, n.o.body will object to Claude’s future leadership anymore.”

“Ye Feng, do you dare to compete with us?”
