Simultaneously with the Martial Arts Competition, other non-combat vocational matches such as those for alchemists, artifact refiners, talisman makers, and array masters, were also underway, albeit not starting at the same time.
Because among the competitors who signed up for the competition, many were energetic and extraordinarily talented, excelling in various fields—they could wield weapons and refine both gold and potions.
Thus, to accommodate them, the Martial Arts Competition and non-combat vocational matches were staggered as much as possible, allowing them to fully display all the skills and abilities they have mastered.
