As the competition proceed smoothly over the next four days, the remaining audience members, who mostly consisted of wandering alchemists and blacksmiths, all benefitted greatly from the week of observing a group of seniors slowly and skillfully working.
At the same time, as the first part of the competition drew to an end, the large number of people who had left earlier on due to the rather boring state of the competition for those not skilled in blacksmiths or alchemy began to slowly return. Breathing life back into the competition space that was no longer dominated by the overjoyed conversations of the wandering blacksmiths and alchemists.
The few who had come from afar to try and gauge the strength of the Star Shattering Sect and to get a better idea about their strength also returned, with a clear exception being the ones from the Blue Sea Empire, who had long since left the borders of the Star Shattering Sect following their leader being noticed by Xuan Hao.
