Huo Yuhao was miserable.
Throughout the Round-Robin Stage, he had thought he would get a chance to compete, but in the end, he had not appeared in a single match.
There had been seven matches in the Round-Robin Stage. Although their opponents were the same ones from the original story, not a single match had been a Team Battle: four had been one-on-one, and three had used the two-two-three format. Just no Team Battles.
In the one-on-one matches, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochеn had taken the stage and won outright. The two-two-three matches had never reached the third round either. To ensure victory, Dai Yueheng and Ling Luochеn had brought along Soul Ancestors like Bei Bei, leaving Huo Yuhao with absolutely no opportunity to compete.
He was frustrated as hell.
Ye Qing had already given them free rein, yet he still had no chance to take the stage.
He had already planned out a flashy performance in his head, but there was simply no opportunity to show it off.
The sewer rat was drowning in tears.
After the Round-Robin Stage ended, there was a one-day break to tally the points of all the participating teams and determine the top sixteen. It also gave the teams, who had been fighting for nearly half a month, a day to rest.
The Starlight Auction House had timed its event perfectly, too. The Top-Level Auction would take place on the evening of the rest day, ensuring that no academy would be unable to attend because of the tournament format.
They took making money seriously.
After attending so many auctions without finding any truly top-notch treasures, Ye Qing honestly no longer held much hope for this Top-Level Auction. He had practically fleeced Huo Yuhao bald already, so this auction probably would not offer anything beyond
