[Bonus chapter]Artifacts Grading

The first set of competitions was for Artifact making, poison making, and dancing. 

Alex watched from the seating area as the group of participants put in metals and different materials inside the giant cauldron and started melting them. 

However, unlike last time, they didn't put all the ingredients in and instead just the bare minimum of them. Instead, once the cauldron had melted what they had put in, the participants took out the molten object and started beating them with giant hammers as they were cooling. 

From time to time, they would put in other ingredients and hammer it away. Once the new object was cooled, they would put it back in the cauldron and melt it once more. 

Then, they would take it out and start beating it with a hammer once more. As such, through a back and forth method, they used up all the materials they owned and made the perfect artifact they could.
