Two days later, the second round of the Elimination Matches had finally ended.
Twenty candidates emerged on top among over a thousand Wanderers, and now, they were gathered in the arena, looking at the stage where Thirteen stood with determined looks on their faces.
"Congratulations to all of you for getting this far," Thirteen said with genuine praise. "Now, all of you will join the thirty Seeded Candidates of this tournament!"
The crowd cheered after hearing Thirteen's declaration.
When the commotion died down, the teenage boy began to explain the next phase of the competition.
"With the Seeded Candidates joining the tournament, the total number of participants in the League of Dragons and Phoenixes is exactly fifty people," Thirteen explained.
"The fifty participants will be divided into four groups—three with twelve members each and one with fourteen. Each group will fight it out until the one and only winner is left.
