What kind of f*cking Blacksmithing is that?

When Kei heard Ragna's proposal, he felt irritated on how arrogant Ragna was. He the sect leader of the Burning Flame sect was insulted, in front of his own disciples, in the very land of his own sect. Their could be no greater humiliation for him, Kei wanted to pound Ragna to death, then kill himself. Yet he couldn't do either, which made him even more frustrated.

Kei didn't answer Ragna and just glared at him, the Elders and the disciples, of the Burning Flame sect were still in a state of shock from the way Ragna took their sect leader's attack with only his flesh and bones.

"I'm going to take your silence as a yes. Don't worry were going to compete in something your good at. Will be competing in Blacksmithing, the one who makes the best weapon wins. It doesn't matter if you made it in the past, or you just recently made it, as long as your the one who made it, you can show me any weapon you made."

When the crowd heard what Ragna said they were surprised once more. How many surprises will this young man bring in just one day. First he challenged Lady Huifen who was acknowledged as the best alchemist in the Empire, in alchemy and won. Now his challenging Kei the greatest blacksmith of the millennium. Is this boy also good at blacksmithing?

The disciples and Elders of the Burning Flame sect on the other hand were finally able to calm down and snickered. 'You had the advantage to choose any contest and you chose blacksmithing. Your arrogance will be your downfall... Hmph wait till our sect leader shows you that there is always someone better.'

Kei looked at Ragna warily, 'what is he planning? How come he picked blacksmithing?' Kei felt an extreme discomfort by Ragna's nonchalance.

"What are we going to bet?"

"Fine you bet your position as sect leader, and I will bet whatever you want from me." When Kei heard Ragna he immediately looked at Huifen.

"I want to have Huifen." When Kei said those words, he didn't just think of his own lust, but also the future of his sect. If they had Huifen they would have the greatest alchemist, coupled with him the greatest blacksmith they would become the greatest specialized sect.

Ragna looked at Huifen, who in turn looked at Ragna straight into his eyes. "You already promised to be mine, body and soul right?" Huifen nodded her head. Even though she was skeptical about Ragna's chances in winning against Kei in Blacksmithing, she couldn't go against her own words. She simply hoped that Ragna would win, and if he loses she would just think about it then.

When Ragna got Huifen's approval, he looked at Kei once more, this time he saw him smiling happily. Kei was truly confident this time, he'll be able to show everyone how great he is, not only that he'll also be able to get the woman of his dreams.

"Then it's a bet." Kei and Ragna nodded in confirmation.

"Ok then will you create a new work, or will you present an old one?" Ragna asked Kei, when Kei saw Ragna's confident smile never wavering he felt a bit perturbed. 'It doesn't matter what tricks he has, I would still win in the end.'

"I will use an old one, wait for me here I will fetch it." Kei opened up a black tear in space and entered after a few seconds he came back holding a Silver Longsword, it was emitting a Kingly radiance as well as exuding ice like Qi.

"This my masterpiece, I named it Arctic Death, this is an Emperor Rank weapon one of the only two in the whole Empire." When everyone saw the Arctic Death, they couldn't help but gasp in its beauty. Just its Kingly Radiance made some of them want to kneel to the sword. The weapons the young masters' brought that were below King Rank started to tremble. Even their very own weapons felt the might of the Arctic Death.

"Now its your turn to show your weapon." Everyone looked at Ragna waiting to see what he would do. Even some of the people who were beguiled by Ragna after showing his alchemy skill were doubting his victory. The disciples and Elders of the Burning Flame Sect started sneering at him. 'It's impossible for this brat to beat our sect leader, there are no weapons better than Emperor Rank.'

Ragna snickered, "Is this the best you could make? This isn't even better than something I can casually make." When the crowd heard Ragna's boisterous claim they were sneering at him inside. Even Huifen thought that Ragna was posturing too much, the only ones who truly believed in him were Elise and Reki. These two girls have witness Ragna create miracle after miracle. An expert fighter, a cook, a teacher, an alchemist, to them Ragna could do no wrong.

"Really then do show me what the weakest weapon you could make do to my Emperor Rank weapon." Kei taunted with a snicker.

"Very well then." Ragna extended his hands forward and within his mind, Ragna started to judge the concept of creation, remembering the basic structure of the weapon with the blueprints he bought from the system, then he started duplicating the composition of the material. He then remembered to imitate the skill of its making, sympathizing with the experience of its growth with the memory that was provided to him, then reproducing its accumulated years. Finally accelerating every manufacturing process.

When the people saw Ragna extend his hands, same as his alchemy a certain amount of Qi was gathering at the hands of Ragna.

"Trace on." Out of nowhere an exquisite sword with a blue handle covered with the color of gold appeared, there were words engraved in a golden inscription on its hilt. It was a short sword of dazzling beauty. It emitted an even stronger kingly aura than the Emperor Rank weapon Kei made.

The ones who saw Ragna's alchemy screamed in there minds 'you can also make a sword that way?' The disciple and Elders of the Burning Flame Sect as well Kei screamed in their minds. 'What Kind Of F*cking Blacksmithing Is That?!'
