The Forge Masters' final competition was divided into two parts.
The Origin Sect supplied the weapons, and the Mid-Grade Forge Masters had to forge a weapon capable of cutting through them.
As for the High-Grade Forge Masters...
They competed in forging Spirit Weapons.
They had a maximum of three days.
Anyone who successfully forged a Spirit Weapon would distinguish themselves and win the finals.
For a High-Grade Forge Master...
Forging a Low-Grade Spirit Weapon was by no means easy.
Many who had spent decades at this level could not guarantee that they would successfully forge a Spirit Weapon in a single attempt.
Thus...
This tested not only their forging skills, but also their luck.
As for the Array Masters' competition...
The final round was much simpler.
The Origin Sect likewise provided an array.
The difference was...
This time, they did not have to break the array. They only had to endure inside it for two hours without being defeated to win.
If they failed within those two hours...
They would be disqualified.
The competitions outside Liangshan City naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.
Compared with breaking arrays through divine sense...
Forging was clearly much more lively.
Especially when a Spirit Weapon took shape and a lightning tribulation descended, drawing even more attention.
Over these past few days...
Lightning tribulations frequently descended outside Liangshan City, ranging from three or five bolts to a dozen or twenty.
As for recruiting disciples...
After several days of screening, it was finally nearing its end.
"Sect Master, we recruited a total of twelve thousand seven hundred and eighty-six people this time, of whom seven thousand six hundred and fifty-three are Otherworlders..." Inside the Martial Inheritance Hall, Zhao Shanlin, an Outer Sect Elder responsible for recruiting disciples, reported the figures.
