Hearing the general motive behind the second round, most of the participants in front of the raised platform could not help but murmur as they looked at each other, slightly nervous as they wondered whether they had what it took to innovate on an existing blueprint. Of course, the three top contenders were an exception to this, with Nathan and Shadow having solemn expressions while Denise approached the second round with a large grin on her face.
After all, the reason why she had become a top contender in the tournament was due to her feat of improving the result of a Common grade blueprint to Uncommon+ grade.
Aside from those three, a few more participants listened to Hyun's explanation without any changes in expression, being confident in their ability to innovate beyond the specifications of blueprints. Naturally, Valyr also fell under this category, already knowing what he had to do in order to achieve such a feat.
