Chapter 316: First Match Again

Chapter 316: First Match Again

The second round of group eliminations has officially ended.

Each of the eight groups has only 12 people left.

During this period.

There were also a few matches that were quite intense, causing the live audience to cheer excitedly.

Li Chaoge from Group B faced the Free Federation's third seed, Jenny Milan.

Xue Ming from Group C faced the Free Federation's first seed, Norton Lane.

Saint Luni from Group F faced the second seed from the Orc King's Court, Vilria the Catfolk.

These first seeds all tacitly did not bring their contracted beasts onto the stage to fight together.

This may be the most peculiar Global Beast Tournament ever.

Because from beginning to end, none of the highly anticipated first seeds, not even the second seeds, brought their contracted beasts onto the stage!

This left some beast-curious audience members quite disappointed.

However, this did not affect the excitement of the matches.

Li Chaoge, this heroic and stunningly beautiful female sword master, soared with a single sword, killing Jenny under her blade, showing everyone what "light clouds exit the moon, wind calms the night, flowers bloom in cold shadows reflecting a startling swan" means.

Seeing his third seed defeated by Li Chaoge with a single sword, Norton Lane naturally also showcased the terror and dominance of his Chaos Demon bloodline, not only killing Xue Ming but also almost strangling Xue Ming's contracted beast, the Devouring Python, to death.

The teams from the Dragon Kingdom and the Free Federation seemed to be competing against each other.

Whenever they encountered an opponent from the other team, they never held back.

As for Princess Saint Luni...

It was even more attention-grabbing!

Because her opponent turned out to be the first seed from the Elven Forest, Lorna Silf!

Her profession is 'Storm King Mage'!

Perhaps due to deliberate official arrangements, each of the eight groups had 1 to 2 first seeds from strong teams.

Including Ling Zhan's Group A, which also had a first seed player.

He is the first seed from the Dark Night Empire, the vampire Andy Hordan, whose profession is 'Blood Spirit Mage'.

Actually, whether it's the audience.

Or players and leaders from various countries.

Everyone understands that the officials have always deliberately avoided first seeds from different countries colliding in the group stages in the Global Beast Tournaments.

Therefore, in past group stages, almost no first seed collisions occurred.

Only in the top 16 would there be a chance to see them.

But unexpectedly...

At this moment, Saint Luni faced the first seed from the Elven Forest, Lorna Silf.

"How to play this?"

"What's the point... Lorna can't beat Princess Saint Luni."

"Sigh!"

Unsurprisingly.

The handsome men and beautiful women from the Elven Forest despaired when they saw the matchup announced.

It's not that they are boosting others' morale and diminishing their own...

But they really can't win!

Because Lorna studied at the Holy Light Academy and is good friends with Princess Saint Luni.

They often sparred seriously, but Lorna always ended up being utterly defeated.

Moreover...

Their second seed from the Elven Forest had already been eliminated by Norton from the Free Federation.

Now, if Lorna gets eliminated...

They would be the first strong team to have both their first and second seeds eliminated!

And Princess Saint Luni confirmed their despair was justified.

The saint in the Holy Light robe merely raised her fair, delicate hand.

Boom!!

Then everyone was shocked to see a giant magical ball emitting brilliant holy light descending from the sky!

This magical ball, too large to fit on the vast stage, contained terrifying magical waves that made people's hearts race!

The power of this magical ball was probably comparable to a small nuclear bomb!

If it really exploded, the surrounding players still competing might also suffer.

And this...

Was just something Princess Saint Luni casually did!

Staffless spellcasting + no chanting!

You couldn't see her using a staff, nor chanting!

"I concede!"

Lorna, feeling the heart-pounding magical waves, helplessly surrendered.

As the first seed player from the Elven Forest, she was naturally not weak.

Moreover...

She also had the super strength to tangle with Saint Luni.

But she knew the final result would be a miserable defeat for her.

Even if she used all her hidden cards, she couldn't defeat this best friend.

So it was better to concede.

Besides, getting herself battered and bruised, with torn clothes, would be very ungraceful and totally not fitting the Elven style.

During the competition.

Prince Saint Luja also regained consciousness in the treatment room.

"Damn it!!"

"Get the hell out of here!!"

As soon as he woke up, he remembered his crushing defeat and violently kicked away a maid who was taking care of him.

He...

Actually lost!

Really lost!

And he lost to a non-specialist he always looked down on!

Previously, he was happy to be placed in the group with the highest chance of advancing.

But now, he couldn't accept the result of his crushing defeat at all!

Embarrassing!

Really fucking embarrassing!

He could already imagine the ridicule and mockery from those spectators towards him, the third prince!

These spectators were from all over the world, unlike the commoners of the Holy Light Empire who revered the royal family.

They would mock as they wished!

What made it even harder for him to accept was...

At the moment before his death, he felt immense fear towards that non-specialist.

"I want him dead!"

"I must have him dead!!"

The treatment room echoed with Saint Luja's voice filled with extreme hatred.

...

...

"Alright!"

"Rest time is over!"

"Now the third round of group eliminations begins!"

To expedite the schedule, the officials compressed the time to the limit.

As soon as the last severely injured but narrowly victorious player was healed, they promptly announced the start of the third round.

The audience's emotions remained high.

"Hey! Do you think that non-specialist will be up first again?"

"I don't think so, after all, he was up first for the last two rounds..."

"It doesn't matter who goes first, just don't let him face Andy."

"Yeah, I'm starting to look forward to that non-specialist's performance. I really hope he makes it to the top 16!"

...

By now, many spectators were beginning to support this dark horse non-specialist.

Praying that he wouldn't encounter the first seed from Group A, Andy Hordan, before advancing from the group stage.

With the non-specialist's strength, as long as he didn't meet Andy, advancing should be no problem.

But often, the more you don't want something to happen.

The more likely it is to happen.

So, to everyone's shock.

The official commentator excitedly read out the matchup information.

"Uh..."

"The first match of the third round group 12 to 6 elimination, Group A!"

"The competitors are the first seed from the Dark Night Empire's Night Academy, Andy Hordan! And..."

"The fifth seed from Dragon Kingdom's Tianyan Academy, Ling Zhan!!"
