The forging of stage four weapons was extremely tedious in steps, the required forging materials were also split into the main and supplementary components.
The special traits of these two components needed to be handled properly, a clash could not occur, this required the Blacksmith to manage their time well when fusing the materials together!
Furthermore, this was Ye Feng's first attempt at forging a stage four weapon, he needed to be extra careful.
In the forging furnace, the thundering steel rock's special trait and material composition had already been separated successfully! A lump of electrical energy sank to the bottom of the forging furnace, even the furnace's fire was forced to divert elsewhere by this energy.
"The special trait of the thundering steel rock has been extracted! Next, I will need to do so for the other supplementary stage four materials!"
"If everything goes smoothly, I will succeed in this attempt."
Ye Feng could not conceal the excitement in his eyes, he was also feeling jittery internally.
As pieces of stage four supplementary materials were tossed in, soon, they also fused with each other as the hammering continued, making all of these ores gather into one whole entity.
Time passed slowly.
Ye Feng was covered in sweat, an entire day had passed, it was late into the night now. Inside the forging furnace, there were five to six of various types of forging materials!
These materials were all forged into the shape of a greatsword by Ye Feng, it was huge and extremely sharp.
The sword had taken form, only the carving of the Lightning Formation and the fusion of special traits remained, he needed to fuse the special traits of five to six materials into this greatsword without any conflict. Only then would the stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword, be completed!
In the Blacksmith Shop, hammering sounds continued to be heard.
A long time passed.
Suddenly, there was a loud thundering sound in the forging furnace.
Ye Feng's hammer dropped to the ground, he looked at the forging furnace excitedly, seeing that the flames within had been completely extinguished.
A greatsword covered in lightning threads was motionless within the forging furnace, waves of lightning energy subconsciously shot towards the walls of the furnace.
"Stage four weapon, Thundering Greatsword, has been forged!"
Ye Feng was extremely happy.
At this moment, he was a genuine stage four Blacksmith!
Right at this time, the clear voice of the World Creator System also resounded in Ye Feng's mind, as waves of elemental energy surged in his body.
"Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage four inferior-grade weapon, Thundering Greatsword, you have obtained 4000 lightning elemental points…"
The stage four weapon was forged successfully!
Ye Feng became a stage four Blacksmith now! Compared to his identity as a stage three Blacksmith, his personal value had risen by over ten times.
Originally, he was only revered by Advanced Knights and the weapon industry, now, even Bronze Knights had to be respectful towards him…"
"The power of my lightning elemental magic has risen by a lot too! Because I am already a mid-tier Bronze Knight, this Thundering Greatsword is unable to let me reach upper-tier straight away…"
Ye Feng tossed out a lightning ball and looked at the cracked ground as he started to collate his gains from making the Thundering Greatsword.
After a day and night, expending a lot of effort, he had finally achieved his target and forged it successfully! In no time, he would stabilize his status as a stage four Blacksmith, his Bronze Knight and Four Star Magician statuses would also rise up to the peak of stage four because of his forging.
"Claude, get me some water."
Ye Feng called out but did not see any signs of Claude being around, he frowned immediately, sensing that something was wrong.
During this period of a day and night, Claude did not appear.
Ye Feng thought that Claude was delayed because he went to send goods to the Auction House! But evidently, he would not take an entire day and night to do that.
Ye Feng kept the Thundering Greatsword away and went out to find Claude, he even made a trip to the Auction House and asked the manager.
"Claude?"
"He went back after bringing us the goods yesterday!"
The manager replied in confusion.
Immediately, Ye Feng became anxious.
He had really treated Claude as his own disciple!
With his disciple going missing, how could the master Ye Feng not be anxious?
After looking around the City of Chaos, he did not find Claude anywhere, the people from the Auction House also searched for his whereabouts but they all had no results.
Claude had gone missing!
"Where did he go?"
Ye Feng searched for three hours but did not find Claude, he frowned and went back to the Blacksmith Shop, preparing some gold coins to ask for the help of specialized personnels.
However, once he returned to the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng's gaze was fixed, he stared at the table coldly, there was a piece of paper that was fixed in place by a dagger.
"Claude is in the hands of my Heavenly Snake tribe, if you want him intact, come and apologize to us personally!"
The paper said that it was from the Heavenly Snake tribe.
Ye Feng clenched this paper in his hands, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and fury, he left the Blacksmith Shop and went straight for the Heavenly Snake tribe's location in the City of Chaos.
"After kidnapping Claude once and getting warned by the Auction House, you still dare to provoke me?"
"You are simply courting death."
The Heavenly Snake tribe was one of the many races living in the City of Chaos, Ye Feng knew about their territory in this city.
Muse's Casino.
Two Heavenly Snake tribesmen of Advanced Knight level guarded the doors, they wanted to block Ye Feng who was barging in as they looked at him coldly and said.
"We do not welcome you, Ye Feng!"
At the next moment.
The two Advanced Knights were like kites with their strings cut, they were sent flying by Ye Feng's kick.
"Two Advanced Knights to guard the door, it seems that this Muse's Casino is the main source of income for your Heavenly Snake tribe's businesses in the City of Chaos."
Ye Feng smiled coldly.
Next, he fought his way in.
Heavenly Snake tribesmen continued to charge at him and wanted to subdue Ye Feng, but no matter how many Advanced Knights came, they were easily sent flying by his kick.
"Who is this?"
"Isn't this the stage three Master Blacksmith, Ye Feng?! I've only heard of his amazing forging abilities, I didn't know he was this strong."
All of the Heavenly Snake tribesmen were shaking in fear.
The customers in Muse's Casino were also running away like they were escaping from danger.
Soon, because of Ye Feng's arrogant entry that caused the casino to become chaotic, a Heavenly Snake tribe elder came soon after.
This elder was the person in charge of the Heavenly Snake tribe in the City of Chaos, the bronze level Muse!
"Ye Feng!"
"Are you trying to bully our Heavenly Snake tribe's for being too kind?"
Muse shouted angrily, he took a Knight's Heavy Sword and charged towards Ye Feng, his power as a lower-tier Bronze Knight was displayed at full force.
"Your Heavenly Snake tribe is not kind at all!"
Ye Feng snickered coldly, he did not even use the Thundering Greatsword, he directly punched towards the attacking Muse, sending him flying.
The table and chairs shattered into a pile.
Muse fell to the ground pathetically and coughed out blood, he had actually gotten heavily injured after one attack by Ye Feng, but he was still barely alive.
