'Ding,

Congratulations master. Your first batch refinement is successful.

​​

'Ding,

Refined 10 rank 1 swords.

'Ding,

No rank 1 sword with a skill is refined. Better luck next time.

All of a sudden, three consecutive system notifications rang in his head and unexpected to his expectations, his first batch refinement was a success.

'What?'

Henrick was surprised as he didn't expect that the first batch refinement would be successful.

'I thought, it would need at least a couple of refinements for my first successful batch refinement. This is a nice surprise,'

Nevertheless, he felt good and checked the weapons into the water at once.

Since there were no special skills on any of the weapons, Henrick didn't bother to waste his time checking the weapons.

'It took me nearly 30 minutes. It is much better than I thought,'

Henrick was surprised that he was able to finish the batch refinement in 30 minutes and it was also in his first refinement.

'If I had used only common forging process, I would have refined only 6 rank 1 weapon; however, now I can create 10 weapons within 30 minutes,'

Henrick was really satisfied with this 'batch refinement technique' which was simple and easy to refine.

'I wonder what is the disadvantage of this batch refinement technique,'

Soon, he started repeating the same process to refine the weapons in batches; however, after some time, he thought about the disadvantages.

'Ding,

1) It is not possible to refine custom made weapons and this technique is only used for the mass production of normal weapons.

2) Refining weapons with skills will be even more difficult.

'Just as I expected,'

Glancing at the system notification for a second, Henrick nodded his head because it was the first thing that came to his mind.

Soon, he continued to focus on refining the weapons.

…..

While Alaster and Henrick were busy refining the weapons, Elder Lang and Master Marcel along with his three disciples were talking about some things in Master Marcel's cultivation abode.

"Master, why are you giving him another chance?/ You can just kick him now, right?"

Louis asked his master with a puzzled look on his face.

"Do you think my hate towards him was just from a couple of years ago where I made you betray your master? It started at the age of 18. Even if I say, you don't understand it,"

Master Marcel didn't explain anything to his favourite disciple not because Louis could not understand. It was because he didn't like to remember his past.

Actually, compared to Louis, Master Marcel hates Alaster even more because his father, the previous leader of the weapon hall always praised Alaster for his refinements and as for him, he would only get scoldings.

So, that envy in him at a young age had turned into hate and now, he wants nothing but to make things difficult for Alaster.

Moreover, what made him even angrier was that even when his father was on the death bed, he always talked with Alaster and told him many things which he didn't have a single clue regarding those things.

"..."

Louis and others looked at Master Marcel without saying any word fearing that, it might anger him.

"You don't need to think much and act according to the plan,"

Master Marcel didn't bother to explain to them as he took out a book and started reading just like how Louis did in the morning.

Actually, it was Louis who imitated Master Marcel's book reading actions in the morning.

'Uff...uff..Master save me,'

After a couple of minutes, Glaser came back with a swollen cheek while breathing heavily as though he had run away from someone.

'Kubin, Brener and senior brother Louis,'

However, he didn't expect his fellow brothers would be here.

"What happened to you? Your face looks funny...Haha,"

Seeing Glaser, Louis and others started laughing after asking him.

"Senior brother, the discipline hall's disciple captain started hitting me when I took him to the weapon hall. He said that I was toying with him by using your name. He is even chasing after me now. So, I directly came here to seek help from the master,"

Glaser gave a glimpse of what happened to him to his master and his fellow brothers.

According to the discipline hall, if any disciple gave wrong information and played with them, they would be severely punished. So, as soon as he saw the serious look on the disciple captain's face, he didn't even think for a second before running away from there.

However, who would have expected that he would be received a punch on his cheek before even turned around.

Nevertheless, enduring the pain in his cheek, he started running away.

"Stop laughing...Hmph"

Glaser was a little bit agitated when he saw they were laughing at him.

'Damn you bastard...it was all because of you and now you are laughing at me? Just wait and see. One day, I will take revenge for this for sure,'

Glaser is a type, who you remember everyone who toys with him and when the time comes, he would take revenge

"You can sit. I will take with him,"

While he was thinking to take revenge on Louis in the future, Master Marcel asked him to sit.

'Yes, master,'

Glaser replied in a very low tone before sitting beside Kubin.

"Disciple Captain of the discipline hall, I will talk with your hall's leader. You can go back,"

Before the disciple captain could enter his courtyard, Master Marcel's loud voice resounded in the courtyard.

"Yes,"

Soon, Master Marcel got a reply which lacked respect that made him raise his brows; however, he was interrupted by Elder Lang which made him leave that matter.

"Master Marcel, half of the time is completed and there are only four more hours left. I am looking forward to seeing how many weapons he had refined."

"I am 100 percent sure it is impossible for him to complete the 70 percent of weapons for your order because I intentionally made all other weapon hall disciples rest. And also put two of my disciples with him to disturb him from time to time,"

Master Marcel was fully confident while looking at Glaser and Kubin.

Soon, they fell into some discussions about the things outside the sect.

It was mostly Elder Lang who said everything about the events that happened in the outside world.

....

Just one hour before midnight,

'Huh?'

In the weapon refining room, Henrick raised his brows when he noticed that no metal block appeared in his hands when he thought.

'What? Over already?'

Henrick was shocked to see that he had refined 150 metal blocks and soon, he revealed a smile on his face before asking the system, "System, how time is left before midnight?"

Since he was fully focused on refining the weapons from the beginning, he was unable to keep track of time.

So, he asked the system about the time.

'Ding

Still a little more than one hour is left.

"What? So, I refined 150 weapons in just 7 hours?"

Henrick was once again shocked by the fact that he refined 150 weapons in just 7 hours.

'I should go and ask for more metal blocks,'

Without wasting any time, he walked out of his weapon refining room.
