Inside the resting lounge, more and more players were gathering.
The walls of the lounge were made up of a series of square sections. Each time a qualifying round ended, one of the squares would emit a blinding white light, and the victorious players would emerge from within.
At times, there would be three or five of them, or even as many as seven or eight.
Bai Youwei anxiously waited for the appearance of Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, and the others, but to no avail.
She sat in her wheelchair, her fingers tightly interlaced with unease, feeling unbearably terrible.
Without Shen Mo, without Tan Xiao, without Teacher Cheng and without Pan Xiaoxin, she had nothing! Even though Yan Qingwen and Lu Yuwen were by her side, it was not the same.
She repeatedly forced herself not to let her thoughts wander but instead focused her energy on the selection match itself.
—241 players, 5 resigned, 197 registered as King, and 39 registered as subjects.
