"We're pretty lucky. Our two lone seedlings both made it into the quarterfinals!"
"Yeah, let this luck keep going. Please, no civil war!"
"God bless us, God bless us..."
By the quarterfinals, the chances of an internal matchup would only grow greater.
Yet the Dragon Kingdom's viewers still prayed devoutly that there would be no civil war.
It was rather laughable...
The Freedom Federation, which had originally fielded the most competitors, now had only Norton left as its lone seedling.
And the Holy Light Empire had only its pair of sister flowers remaining.
But that was nothing.
The reason everyone else had been so desperate to make it through the top sixteen was because their nation's Ministry of Education and their schools would provide rewards.
As for the remaining quarterfinal slots...
The other contestants who had luckily advanced knew perfectly well that they had no share in them.
If the top sixteen still had some watered-down competitors among them...
Then the quarterfinals were truly packed with gold.
Six number-one seeds from powerful nations!
And the other two...
One was the monstrous Freelancer who had defeated Andy and Albert.
The other was a hidden-class Sword Demon who had taken an unconventional path and transformed into a demon.
No one dared claim that these two contestants were inferior to the other number-one seeds.
At this moment...
The officials did not drag things out with any suspenseful nonsense. They directly displayed the backstage drawing results on the screen!
