At the ark, Theo smiled as he looked at Ariana: ”It looks like I won our bet.”
”Err... Well.” Ariana sighed, worried about her future: ”I will let you do ”this” to me as promised.”
Theo was very happy to hear that. He smiled from ear to ear as expectation shone in his golden eyes.
Although some of them were curious about what the bet was at the same time, they were afraid to hear the answer, so a silence hung in the living room.

In the arena, presenter Reginald said loud enough for everyone to hear: ”With the end of the first stage of the alchemy tournament, this is my cue and sure be back in the second stage tomorrow. But before that, I would like you guys to give a round of applause to the tournament contestants!”
”Applause! Applause! Applause! ...”
After a round of applause, presenter Reginald nodded in satisfaction and said: ”And so, we ended the first stage of the alchemy tournament!”
In the arena, Audrey looked at Hilda and sighed. He removed from his space bracelet a furnace half a meter long and wide, green in color with the design of a red dragon surrounding the furnace.
”As promised, this is now yours.” Audrey told her.
”Thank you.” Hilda's lips curved in a rare smile when she thanked him.
Seeing that, Audrey's heart threatened to come out of his chest, he took a deep breath controlling his emotions. He didn't want to be a bad loser and as soon as he handed her the level 5 furnace to him, he left the arena.
Seeing Audrey leave, Hilda felt a little agitated, but in the end, she said nothing. Sometimes she thought she should take action and say she liked him, but something inside her said it was not right to do that. In the end, she chose to remain silent while watching him leave.
”I'm going, too, Sister Hilda.” Scarlett gave Hilda a friendly hug and then flew out of the arena.
Gradually the participants left the arena, and in the meantime, the tournament organizers were preparing for the forge tournament that would happen next.
When the arena was empty, a woman with long black hair, slender with an incredible charisma hovered in the center of the arena 4 meters in the air. She smiled as she turned slightly looking at the entire audience and said, ”Good night, all you guys. I am Mariana and I will be the host of the forge tournament. And before we start, sure be explaining some things.”
Seeing that she had everyone's attention, she continued: ”First, as everyone knows, the participants must be under 30 years old to participate in the forging tournament. Other than that, there are no other restrictions, regardless of the level of cultivation the participant is in, he can participate in the tournament.”
”This year, we have an incredible 1987 participants in the forging tournament. And because of that, instead of just 100 participants going to the second stage, the rules have changed a little and extended to 150 participants.”
Upon hearing this, many who are going to participate in the forge tournament were excited and shouted happily. Even the audience was happy to hear that and started to applaud.
When everyone had calmed down, presenter Mariana said: ”Participants have 4 hours to create level 2 weapons. In addition, each weapon created has a point's qualification that will be acc.u.mulated for the next stage.”
She explained: ”Low-quality level 2 weapons, 2 points. Average quality, 5 points. High quality, 10 points. Perfect quality, 100 points.”
”Now, without further ado, the participants come to the arena to undergo identity verification. And then, we will officially start the forge tournament!”

”I am going.” Theo inside the ark said.
”Do your best, Theo.” Nanda said.
”Have fun.” Ariana didn't think he needed to do his best, or even good luck, so she said that.
”Have fun!” The girls also said. In that regard, they knew how talented Theo was in forging weapons.
” Sure.” Theo smiled.
