"Time is up!" The person in charge of the challenge spoke loudly. "Those who haven't finished their Ground Alignment Dust can leave already. The equipment will only accept finished products."
Lukis took the vial filled with the dust, a slightly yellowed powder that interacted with the surrounding Earth Element. He looked pretty satisfied with the result of his effort, although he knew he likely wouldn't win this challenge. He was confident in his abilities, but he also knew there was always a higher mountain. His objective was to make it into the top 10 of this challenge or close to it, and that would be a good enough result.
As he walked to the alchemy measurement equipment, he noticed Roan on his side, walking with him. On Roan's hand, there was a pitch black powder in his vial... was that even a power? It looked more like black sludge than anything else. "Just how did you get such a result?"
