The third night of the Winter Festival competition saw the original 48 contestants whittled down to just 8 after three rounds of eliminations, and the evening was rife with dark horses and surprises.
Sevia La from Saint Yingo Academy had an easy victory over Xia Kui, the leader of the Group Peaks, while Tilan, who had been previously thought to only be participating for experience, eliminated Sweitevi, the favorite to win the championship.
The eight remaining candidates were Sevia La, Wokard, and Maidi from Saint Yingo Academy; Tilan and Sitasia from Edith Academy; Levito from Thunder Edge; Klentchin from Crystal Lattice Academy, and Seraphiel from Lelisa Academy.
Among the eight, Saint Yingo had three people, Edith two, and Thunder Edge, Crystal Lattice, and Lelysia each had only one person.
