There were less than 20 minutes before the end of the first section, and some blacksmiths had yet to finish drawing their designs. There were also people walking out of their forging rooms quickly.
Xu Wanqing and the other three went forward to hand in their designs. Their eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation.
Once the countdown ended not long after and all the blacksmiths had submitted their designs, the official in charge went on stage and gathered the blacksmiths together.
"The first part of the competition has ended. Today, everyone can go back and rest for the night. The second part of the competition will begin tomorrow morning. When the time comes, the association will provide you with sufficient materials to turn your design into reality. As long as your design passes the inspection after it's forged, the materials will belong to you. Otherwise, your respective province will bear the cost of the materials. Do you understand?"
