Chapter 335 - Artifact Synthesis Race

The Artifact Synthesis Race buzzed with tension as sixty students filled the open-air workshop, a sprawling space nestled within the festival grounds. Workbenches lined the area, each cluttered with tools, beast parts, and raw materials. The air smelled of singed metal and damp earth, the late morning sun glinting off blades and scales scattered across the tables. The challenge was clear: transform a mundane weapon into an artifact—normal grade at minimum, advanced if you dared. Time limit: three hours. Success hinged on skill, magic, and a steady hand.
