Even the men were shocked and had their mouths agape! Some even felt embarrassed as they realized that their skills weren't up to par with this woman. Each strike was from Sophie Alstreim was melodious rather than glaring, and that made them understand that there were extremely slacking off in learning their blacksmithing skills.

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

*Clang!~*

The same yet melodious sounds kept repeating for half an hour before it finally stopped!

*BuzZ!~*

Heaven and earth energy gathered around and was suddenly absorbed by the weapon!

Sophie Alstreim let go of the weapon with the clamper, and she reached out her hand to grasp the small dagger. She clenched the handle and took out before she gave a good look at the dagger glowing with an emerald light.

It shined like pure jade.

"Ehh... Ni!!!"

A random string of sound echoed in her mind.

It was a newly born armament spirit, but she knew that it should be able to speak within a day or two.

*Whoosh!~*

She swung the emerald dagger down like she had done with the hammer but ended up slicing apart the air!

Sophie Alstreim nodded in approval. It was sharp and deadly as she had expected, and although she could see a few imperfections, it was well within the limit of forging a proper weapon.

She also had to impart her essence energy into the dagger through the hammer during the forging process as the armament spirit would recognize her as its creator.

Sometimes, if a spirit failed to appear unless there's a valid reason for it, the forging could be considered a failure.

She took back the dagger to her face again before she smirked, "You shall be called, Emerald-"

Abruptly stopping the naming session, she moved the dagger out of her face and looked towards a certain person as she opened her mouth, "I want A-Alchemist Davis to name the dagger, but please let the name have 'Emerald' in it."

"Oh? Are you sure that you want me to name it?"

Sophie Alstreim nodded her head like a rabbit, and even though she was soaked like a person who had just come out of taking a bath, she seemed to not mind the gazes she received. Since she wore a double-layered white robe, the men were unlucky enough to end up unable to witness her fair skin.

Sophie Alstreim knew that she would sweat during the forging process, so she always wore a double-layered robe that helped her remain presentable in the eyes of the public. It was even the case despite feeling frustrated and hot in the blazing heat during the forging process.

It was almost like she trained herself to be in a state of constant irritation and awareness all the time!

"Well then..." Davis nodded his head in return before he smiled, "Let me take a look at it."

Sophie Alstreim sent the emerald dagger flying towards him without a bit of hesitation.

Davis received it in his grasp before he cast a deep look at it.

The dagger appeared emerald, its edge was sharp towards the end, and the blade had a few imperfections, or not imperfections but lacking aesthetics as it was jarred at some points.

He simply spoke, "Then let it be named Grieving Emerald Dagger..."

'Grieving? What is the dagger or its owner grieving for..?' Many became confused, but some women quickly came to a conclusion.

It meant that Alchemist Davis clearly disapproved of her and didn't favor her! He was saying that despite all her efforts, Sophie Alstreim was still going to grieve because she wasn't favored in the end!...

Otherwise, it just didn't make sense to them!

"Grieving Emerald Dagger... A great name indeed..." Sophie Alstreim nodded, seemingly oblivious to the so-called intent of Alchemist Davis.

Davis smiled, "Not only are you talented in Alchemy, but you are also skilled in Weapon Forging. You are indeed a fledgling character who has the potential to be compared in the same length with the Thousand Pill Palace's Top Pill Disciple, Dalila Leehan."

"I'm comparable to Dalila Leehan...?" Sophie Alstreim's lips twitched.

It was known that Dalila Leehan was also capable of creating King Grade Pills. However, she was confident that she could reign in the Sky Grade by fairly competing, but an abnormal entity like Alchemist Davis ruined her chances, making her end up in second place in the Alchemy Exchange.

Sophie Alstreim didn't think that she was that much of a grand character to be compared to Dalila Leehan.

"Indeed..." Davis explained, "Dalila Leehan might be a grand character of the Alchemy World, but you, Sophie Alstreim is a grand character of the Blacksmithing World, or am I wrong, and everyone at the Peak-Level Law Manifestation Stage can forge a Low-Level King Grade Armament?"

"That..." Sophie Alstreim tried to refute, "It is true that not every blacksmith at my cultivation base can forge a Low-Level King Grade Armament, but what I forged is more lenient to temper dagger! If it were a bigger dagger or a sword that I had to forge, then it is even clear to me that I would've failed!"

"I'm sure everyone here thinks the same!" She cried out.

Sophie Alstreim knew that Dalila Leehan could easily make Low-Level King Grade Pills while she, on the other hand, almost used up eighty percent of her essence energy to create a small armament.

"Haha, so you know your place!" Ravalat Alstreim laughed from the side.

Sophie Alstreim turned to glare at him. It was one thing for her to accept her shortcomings, but it was another for someone to insult her.

"Ha! As if you're one to speak! You can't even compare to me in terms of forging weapons when you're my age!" She just couldn't take it lightly.

"You insolent...!" Ravalat Alstreim almost stood up.

"Still!" Davis interrupted with a loud voice as it garnered them to a stop, "I could hear the armament's spirit whisper to me once in a while, and that means it's a genuine Low-level King Grade Armament. From what I see, you still have the potential to be compared with Dalila Leehan."

Sophie Alstreim turned to look back at him as a smile, subconsciously bloomed on her face.

Somehow, she felt elated at being acknowledged!

The others couldn't say anything to refute. After all, Alchemist Davis was the one who actually won against Dalila Leehan.

But they were also confused as to why Alchemist Davis was praising her when he rejected her by naming the dagger the Grieving Emerald Dagger?

Could it be the name meant something else instead of something they initially thought it to be?

"Nevertheless, since you gave your word to apologize to everyone if you failed to forge a Low-Level King Grade Armament, then it is only right the others sincerely congratulate you for being able to successfully forge a Low-Level King Grade Armament." Davis continued.

"To be able to forge this masterpiece, although some might argue that it's just a dagger, not enough to be considered a whole weapon like a sword or a spear, it is still a complete Low-Level King Grade Armament!"

"Yet, why don't I see anyone congratulating you?"

He looked around with his eyes narrowed.

At this time, Kayan Alstreim stood up and looked at Sophie Alstreim in a complicated light, "Congratulations for forging a Low-Level King Grade Armament!"

"It's my loss..."

He sat back as quickly as he accepted defeat.

"Leader of the Burning Sea Brigade..." Sophie Alstreim beamed before she looked behind, "You're indeed a man, unlike someone else..."

Veins erupted over Ravalat Alstreim's forehead.
