Five days later.
The array competition concluded, and the first place was won by an array master from the Innate Fourth Realm. The array arranged within one two-hour period managed to trap a martial artist from the Innate Fifth Realm for twelve two-hour periods, and was severely injured after breaking free. This result caused a sensation throughout Thousand Mechanism City.
Generally, array masters can use adequate time and array materials to trap, or even eliminate, a powerful individual of the same realm within the array. However, to trap someone of a higher realm for six two-hour periods is unprecedented in recent array competitions.
Moqi's name became well-known throughout Thousand Mechanism City and was recognized by many factions.

While many martial artists in Thousand Mechanism City were enthusiastically discussing the exciting scenes of the array competition, the alchemy competition's first day arrived.
It was still held at the Celestial Craft Pavilion.
