Forging The Path To Godliness

Chapter 104: Reason

The truth was, Ye Feng felt quite relaxed when Claude had not returned initially, after all, he had not been physically in the Divine Forging tribe for a long time already.

Even though this Grand Forging Competition ended prematurely due to all sorts of reasons, it did not affect Claude’s victory at all in terms of recognition.

Thus, it was normal in Ye Feng’s perspective that Claude was still not back, he knew that the Divine Forging tribe desperately needed this boost in reputation at this time.

But after such a long time, Ye Feng started to sense something amiss.

The fact was that he had not forgotten what happened before he entered the ancient forest, precisely so, after careful consideration, Ye Feng decided to go investigate the situation of those members of the Divine Forging tribe to find out what had happened.

In this aspect, Ye Feng moved extremely quickly, after finding several people with decent strength, he asked them to go to the Divine Forging tribe immediately: “Claude is a Blacksmith after all, after such a long period of going missing, something may have happened to him, if you need to fight, please do not hesitate.”

Even though Ye Feng was not in the City of Chaos for some time, because the effect of the previous war was still lingering, and because many people felt admiration towards Ye Feng, they replied him with no hesitation: “Don’t worry, we will definitely bring Claude back safely.”

These people agreed to the matter with full confidence, Claude was a Blacksmith that had taken the orders of many people in the City of Chaos, they knew about his achievements and the fact that he had a bright future ahead.

Be it logic or relationship, these people had no reason to reject him, thus, once Ye Feng said his request, they immediately left after leaving Ye Feng’s place, they packed up and prepared to go to the Divine Forging tribe.

Ye Feng felt a little assured after seeing that they were heading to the Divine Forging tribe, regardless of what happened, these people would be very helpful if Claude was in any sort of trouble.

On the other hand, Ye Feng did not forget to train Blake in terms of combat techniques.

The truth was, his lessons started because of a coincidence, that day, while he was inspecting Blake’s forging, he found that Blake had never stopped practicing his offensive skills.

Back then, Blake was top ten in the Knight’s Academy, many people thought of him as a superb genius with unmatched talent, the biggest setback he had suffered was likely the loss to Ye Feng because of Avril.

Now, Blake had lost his arm, even though Ye Feng gave him a mechanical arm, he could tell that Blake was so hardworking now because he had not gotten over this matter emotionally.

Blake did not blame Ye Feng for the loss of his arm, instead, he questioned himself over the fact that he was too weak, as a result, Blake placed a lot of effort into the practicing of his offensive skills.

Especially when the mechanical arm needed Blake’s practice no matter how agile it was, currently, he could also practice his cooperation with the mechanical arm at the same time.

Blake’s hardworking attitude shook Ye Feng greatly, thus, he started to teach Blake about offensive skills and gave him specialized lessons instead.

Blake thought that after Ye Feng returned, his life would get more relaxed, but he did not expect that it would intensify instead, their work schedule even became unified at this time.

In the morning, Ye Feng would teach Blake fighting techniques, after practicing and eating breakfast, they would start to handle the paperwork of the city. After that, Ye Feng would give Blake lessons on forging.

At night, they would practice offensive skills again before Blake used his last bit of free time to practice forging.

Even though Blake was not busy until he had no time to rest, his life was not relaxed at all, due to the previous matter, Blake also became extremely hardworking, he was on par with Claude if not even more diligent at this point.

Thus, the difference between the two started to show, it was clear that Blake had higher talent in fighting, he could basically understand what Ye Feng taught and even raise relevant questions that were deeper in depth, but he took much longer to think when it came to forging.

Claude was the opposite of this, he was very talented in forging but his fighting techniques were far less proficient.

Ye Feng noted their performance in his heart as he started to consider what ways he could use to teach these two more efficiently and effectively.

Right at this time, news regarding the Divine Forging tribe reached him, even without guessing, Ye Feng could tell that something had happened to the Divine Forging tribe.

Originally, the dwarf tribes were quite disunited, they did not meet except for the Grand Forging Competition, but now, because of what happened in the recent competition, the balance had been tilted.

Especially after Ye Feng attacked the Iron Hammer tribe and caused them to cooperate with the Heavenly Forging tribe, they started to attack the Divine Forging tribe as well. Because the Divine Forging tribe had been on a decline for a long time, how could they block the combined attack of both the Iron Hammer tribe and Heavenly Forging tribe?

The forging competition had ended on a sour note, all of the tribes had their own plans and schemes, they did not hesitate to start acting out these ideas now.

After the Iron Hammer tribe and Heavenly Forging tribe encircled the Divine Forging tribe, both sides erupted with intense conflict. Because the Divine Forging tribe was weaker than them, it was having a lot of trouble trying to defend itself.

At this time, the Iron Hammer tribe gave the Divine Forging tribe a lot of disturbances, they mimicked Ye Feng’s previous actions and started to burn many of the Divine Forging tribe’s houses, they even created a lot of conflict while they were putting out the fire.

The Divine Forging tribe that had only been revitalized because of Claude’s appearance did not dare to say or do anything against the stronger tribes as they were currently at their weakest.
