“Ye Feng, to this day, you’ve been here for three years.”

“After three years, you cannot even forge the simplest Knight’s Longsword, I think you should start considering a new path.”

“You know about Avril’s feelings towards you, but at the rate you’re going, how will you take care of her in the future? Furthermore, you know the current situation, regarding her father…”

Saying so, the dwarf turned around and left, leaving Ye Feng all alone in the Blacksmith Shop.

Ye Feng rubbed his nose, showing a bitter smile on his face.

The person earlier was called Nyzo, one of the members of the small dwarf race and also the owner of this Blacksmith Shop, a famous Master Blacksmith of Osborne City.

Three years ago, it was Nyzo that brought him back to the Blacksmith Shop, preventing him from dying of illness in the streets.

And the day that Nyzo brought him back was also the day that he transmigrated to this world.

For the last three years in the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng had been working hard to learn the art of forging techniques.

But even after three years, he did not succeed even once.

If not for Nyzo’s kindness, he would have been chased out already.

For the last three years, he saw batches of students leaving the Blacksmith Shop.

Be it those who came earlier than him or those who came later, regardless of their status, they had all become Blacksmiths.

Only he was the anomaly.

Nyzo had talked to Ye Feng many times, asking him to find a new path for himself. However, he could not overcome the combined force of Ye Feng’s persistence and Avril’s pleas.

Avril was the goddaughter of Nyzo, she was also the daughter of one of the three Advanced Knights of Osborne City, Eric. Because of Eric and Nyzo’s friendship, he acknowledged Avril as his goddaughter.

From their interactions over these three years, Avril also developed some feelings for Ye Feng.

Shaking his head and tossing away his scattered thoughts, Ye Feng walked to the forge and held up the hammer at the side.

Soon, the sound of metals clashing could be heard from within the Blacksmith Shop.

…

Outside, Nyzo shook his head helplessly.

He did not want to chase Ye Feng away either, but…

If Ye Feng could create even a single most basic Knight’s Longsword, it would have been fine.

But the reality was, Ye Feng did not even manage to forge a single Knight’s Longsword.

Not only that, Ye Feng did not show any talent in cultivation either, he showed no signs of being able to become a knight or awaken the potential to use magic.

Such a person could only be an ordinary man in this life.

If he were to die one day, how could Ye Feng take over the entire Blacksmith Shop alone?

Rather than that, he might as well start making preparations to find ways for Ye Feng to survive on his own in the future.

Right after Nyzo made this decision, he decided that after getting the materials this time, he would find his old friend and try to arrange a simple job for Ye Feng.

Marfa Continent.

It was a world with magic and knights, not only were there humans, there were also vampires, elves, dwarves, and other races.

Ye Feng was currently in Osborne City, a city at the fringe of the Tsama Empire of Marfa Continent.

Even though there was no war ongoing, the rules of the survival of the fittest still remained.

A person like Ye Feng without talent or skill had absolutely no status at all.

Even though Nyzo was around now, he could not protect Ye Feng forever.

In the Blacksmith Shop, Ye Feng’s hammer was still pounding on the iron block that was glowing reddish black and had yet to take form.

The sweat from his forehead fell on the iron block, creating sizzling noises.

At this moment, Ye Feng’s expression was filled with determination.

He had to succeed!

He did not want to leave the Blacksmith Shop, he did not want his hard work of over three years to end up with nothing.

Right now, there was no alternative for him but to succeed!

“It has been three years, why, why can’t I succeed even once? Even once!” Ye Feng was unrelenting.

He was a transmigrator, he had his cheat too.

But for the last three years, his cheat had been like a piece of trash, it stayed dormant in his mind, sometimes, Ye Feng even wondered if his cheat was non-existent.
