Smithing Skills on Parade

Diverse sounds filled the air.

Different kinds of ores clashed with each other making a distinct clanging sound, gemstones rolling around, tools hitting metal, and many more as the blacksmiths began the tedious and rigorous crafting process.

The transparent barrier effectively isolates external sounds, but it doesn't impede the transmission of sound beyond its radius. 

Hence, the crowd can easily hear everything transpiring on the stage.

The blacksmiths had different temperaments and styles.

Some of the more organized ones neatly arranged the materials they needed close to their workstations before starting while some intense ones immediately started heating the ore.

The theme of this year's final stage is a steel-ranked weapon, meaning that the main material of the weapon should be steel.

Each blacksmith's spatial container had various high-quality gemstones for the blacksmiths to use in upgrading their steel-ranked weapon into a relic.
