As time passed, Claude's forging techniques improved and became more stable, after he got past the hardest initial period of time, the following lessons were easier to learn.
At the start, Ye Feng had spent a lot of time imparting his technical knowledge first. But the most important thing about forging was actual practice, while Claude had been working hard on this aspect without ever slacking off.
Claude mainly focused on learning and absorbing the knowledge, but during this time, he did not relax or slack either, he continued to forge everyday, while Ye Feng stopped imparting him more forging related information, allowing Claude to display the use of his current knowledge through practice.
Such lessons were undoubtedly boring, many materials seemed common but there were many things to learn about them. After Claude made use of the things that Ye Feng taught him, he improved greatly.
Ye Feng had been observing Claude's actions throughout this period, seeing that the latter had been practicing according to his instructions without showing any impatience or tendency to rush, he was very satisfied with the progress.
By the time Claude started to forge using the new recipes that he made, he understood why Ye Feng taught him like this. Looking at these recipes, the traits of the materials, as well as the methods required to fuse them, Claude knew that he was very clear about the steps.
At this time, when Claude looked at the things he forged earlier, he could clearly tell what was lacking in those works, when he tried to forge the same weapons as earlier, his actions were much faster and smoother.
At this time, Ye Feng prepared more recipes for Claude to practice on, through such intensive training, Claude's forging foundation became even deeper.
Even Blake who was listening in at the side had benefited greatly.
Because the things that Claude forged recently were all sold out, he regained a lot of income and made up for the losses incurred when Kimmich came to cause trouble.
As he practiced day by day, the Grand Forging Competition of the dwarf tribes gradually got closer, but because Claude had been improving greatly during this period of time, he was very confident of doing well in it.
After deep consideration, Ye Feng decided to let Blake guard this place while he brought Claude to the Grand Forging Competition personally.
During this period, although the Warwick tribe was not completely wiped out by Ye Feng, they had vanished entirely without any commotion. Ye Feng did not let down his guard, after the situation with Blake, he did not want to let Claude go to the competition alone.
At this time, Claude also agreed to this without second thought, the truth was, he wanted Ye Feng to stay with him and teach him more so that he could win.
The Divine Forging tribe really needed a huge win in this competition to gain some reputation back, thus, Claude swore to himself that he could not lose this one.
At this time, Ye Feng felt that Claude did not need new knowledge, he wanted Claude to work on his existing foundation and renew his skills.
Only by firmly grasping what he already knew in his hands could he win what he wanted.
But Ye Feng did not reject Claude now, he gave him a hard problem so that Claude could understand this logic himself, Ye Feng chose to keep silent.
After Claude received such a tough problem, he spent his time thinking about it but did not get an answer even after a long time.
Finally, on one night, Claude could not help but ask Ye Feng for help: "Teacher, what is the most crucial element that affects the result of a forging attempt?"
Ye Feng looked at the frustrated Claude but did not answer, he asked instead: "What do you think?"
"Initially, I thought that it was the materials, but afterwards, I found that the recipes were important too, after that, I thought forging techniques were important, I have no idea which is the answer that I want."
Ye Feng wanted to say something but immediately, his expression turned cold as he grabbed onto Claude before rolling away from his spot. Before Claude understood what had happened, he saw that a werewolf had appeared in the area that they were previously at.
Now, Claude knew what had happened.
The werewolf saw that Ye Feng and Claude managed to dodge this sneak attack so easily, he felt indignant and did not try to escape after failing, instead, he went straight for Claude.
At this moment, both sides knew that Claude was Ye Feng's weakness.
After Claude was dragged away by Ye Feng, he successfully dodged the werewolf's attack. But such an assault had severely infuriated Ye Feng, they were originally going on this trip without provoking anyone, but to think that the werewolves would make such a decision.
At this time, Ye Feng did not hold back, he was not thinking of keeping the enemy alive. Thus, he attacked the werewolf consecutively, and because the werewolf was slower in movement, Ye Feng could deal with him without breaking a sweat.
Claude looked at this werewolf's corpse and calmed down completely, he asked: "They ambushed us on the trip to the dwarf race's competition primarily because of me, right?"
Ye Feng knew about this reason very clearly, because Claude had improved greatly during this period of time, it was not strange that an assassin would be sent out to deal with him at this time.
At this time, Ye Feng took a pole and inspected the werewolf corpse, he found a small seal on the sword at his waist.
In order to prevent fake goods from being sold in the market, some Blacksmiths would place their signature on their products.
For example, some famous Blacksmiths would place their logo on a part of the weapon that would not affect the quality to prove that they forged it. After Claude saw the seal's logo, he confirmed: "It belongs to the Iron Hammer tribe."
