Forging The Path To Godliness Chapter 159 - Forging Succeeds

Chapter 159: Forging Succeeds

In the few days that he stayed in the Capital City, Ye Feng had already seen the Blacksmith Guild, but because there was no urgent matter then, he did not go in.

He was looking for information back then, the Blacksmith Guild was not the place to go.

In any case, he had remembered the location so he could go to the guild anytime he wanted to.

Once Ye Feng entered the Blacksmith Guild, the lady at the reception counter smiled toward s.h.i.+m: “h.e.l.lo sir, how may I a.s.sist you?”

“Hmm… I want to certify my Blacksmith level, how do I do that?” Ye Feng thought and answered.

He felt that it was more appropriate to do the certification now, otherwise, he might face some restrictions in terms of ident.i.ty. After doing the test now, the procedures would get more convenient for him.

“Sir, please take out your Blacksmith certification, I will register you now.”

Ye Feng took out his certification and handed it to the other party.

Alright sir, are you going for the stage three Blacksmith certification test?” The desk lady asked.

“No, I want the stage six certification.” Ye Feng shook his head.

“Sir… are you sure?” The lady did not show anything on her face but her tone was quite confused.

She did not think that this person was a fool, but jumping from stage two to stage six was too absurd.

“Certainly.” Ye Feng nodded and said helplessly: “I am not from the Capital City, after I advanced earlier, I did not go to the Blacksmith Guild for certification.”

Before Ye Feng finished his words, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

“Huh, who is this person, he wants to undergo the stage six Blacksmith certification test?”

Ye Feng turned around and saw that it was Patrick, the person who competed with him over the material. At that time, Patrick did not wear a mask in order to intimidate him.

“My certification test has nothing to do with you, right?” Ye Feng frowned.

“Wait… you sound quite familiar.” Patrick stretched out his hand and thought about it: “You, you are that scoundrel who competed with me over the material!”

Ye Feng was stunned, he did not expect that Patrick could recognize him from his voice. Did this mean that Patrick was a really petty person or did he just have a good memory?

But since he was exposed, Ye Feng did not deny it, he answered frankly: “That’s right, it is me.”

“Hehe, to think that you are that person. Didn’t you say this has nothing to do with me?” Patrick smiled coldly and said arrogantly: “I can tell you that this has something to do with me. If you want to undergo the stage six Blacksmith certification test, you need to get the approval of three stage five Blacksmiths or two stage six Blacksmiths, out of the four stage five Blacksmiths in the guild, I know three of them. I can make them disagree with allowing your certification test.”

“But I am doing this for your sake, you can save yourself some humiliation.”

“Is that so?” Ye Feng did not answer him, he asked the reception lady.

“Yes, I am sorry Sir Ye Feng, but he is right.” The lady was quite apologetic.

“That’s right, so scram now, don’t waste our time.” Patrick had just said that smugly when suddenly, he looked behind Ye Feng with a nervous expression.

“Vice Guild Master!”

“Vice Guild Master!” Everyone else also shouted together.

A pair of large rough hands patted Ye Feng’s shoulders and said in a firm tone: “Little brother, your name is Ye Feng? The one from Aden City?”

Ye Feng turned around and looked at the middle-aged man with uncertainty: “You know me?”

Although he did not know the person, the others had exposed his ident.i.ty.

This was the Vice Guild Master of the Blacksmith Guild.

“Hahaha, I’ve heard about you, you are a stage five Blacksmith right?” The Vice Guild Master laughed, he did not mention the details but said: “Inform them to prepare the certification test for him.”

He said that to the reception lady.

“Thank you.” Ye Feng expressed his grat.i.tude.

He had a guess in his heart, there were only a few people in the Capital City who would know about him, the connection was likely Aden City’s City Lord.

But it was just a possibility.

Since the Vice Guild Master said it himself, the preparations were quickly done, in just less than fifteen minutes, the required items and people arrived.

There were even some spectators.

The Blacksmith Guild did not restrict them regarding these matters.

True forging techniques and skills could not be learned by just observation.

“Ye Feng, are you prepared?” The Vice Guild Master asked.

“Of course.” Ye Feng nodded and took out the desolate rhinoceros spine that he had already broken apart, he also retrieved the remaining portion of the wind-marked green rock and other materials he needed.

For stage four and above Blacksmith certification tests, the materials had to be prepared by the Blacksmith themselves.

After all, the Blacksmith Guild could not provide these precious materials for ‘practice’.

The success rate of such certification examinations would usually be lower than forging in one’s own place. On one hand, the environment was foreign, and on the other hand, there were also spectators.

But this tested the mental fort.i.tude of the Blacksmith.

“I’ll begin.” Ye Feng looked at the three stage five Blacksmiths and nodded lightly.

Such an examination had one advantage, it was hard to cheat. Not to mention that the Vice Guild Master was here, even if he was absent, with everyone watching, the examiners could not do anything to help or impede the person.

If any act of cheating was exposed, the examiner’s future would be ruined.

The verification of forging success was quite easy, after all, the end product was there for everyone to see.

Once the fire was ready, Ye Feng took a deep breath before he started forging.

This was the first time he was making a stage six equipment, he could not help but feel nervous. But with his ability, it was not hard to succeed.

Ye Feng also decided to lower the difficulty by attempting to forge a relatively easier weapon.

A normal longsword would do, in fact, he might be able to use it.

The wind-marked green rock was just about the right size to make the body of the sword, it was not hard to add in some supplementary materials, but the remaining part would be troublesome.

He had to condense the desolate rhinoceros spine to a high degree before attempting to fuse the materials together.

It was just troublesome, the difficulty level to Ye Feng was really nothing.

Initially, many people were here to watch the show. They felt that this person was just a stage five Blacksmith who wanted to take a risk, the difference in stage five and six was just too huge.

But the more they watched, the more shocked they felt. Many different gazes filled with envy, amazement, and jealousy shot towards Ye Feng.

They were all Blacksmiths, they could tell that Ye Feng could succeed barring any accidents. Furthermore, this was not just a newbie stage six Blacksmith, he was on par with those old and experienced stage six Blacksmiths!

The time spent on forging pa.s.sed very quickly, be it Ye Feng or the spectators, they forgot about the conflict earlier, they all waited for his forging attempt to end.

“Ding! Congratulations to the Host for forging a stage six inferior-grade weapon, Wind Spirit Demon Sword, you have obtained 12000 wind elemental points, and 3000 earth elemental points.”
