The number of teams kept decreasing.
90.
80.
70.
60.
Down to 50 or less.
"I win ..." Inside the box, Clifford was thrilled and extended his hand towards Otwin. Just now, the two of them were betting, whether Sebastian could make it to the top 50 or not!
"I'm also confident in Sebastian, but no one bets he can't make it to the top 50, so I'll have to pay for it." Otwin happily paid out the bet.
Up to this point, the ones left in the venue were extremely powerful Level 2 Planetary Lords. Not at the Peak Level, the gap was also not far away.
"Hmm?" Not far away, near the Astra Militarum, the Black Flame Giants easily eliminated another team. It then turned its gaze to the Astra Militarum, which had been watching from the sidelines.
The Planetary Lord who created the Black Flame Giants was Hess, who had the highest overall ranking among the group and was recognized as the strongest in this group.
After looking at the Astra Militarum for a few moments, he said coldly, "Murray, what is the origin of these guys with those weird weapons?"
Murray was also a member of Giant Island, and his strength was also powerful. He was ranked fifth overall, so he was very promising to advance. Not only did the two know each other, but they also had a very good relationship.
"It seems to be a freshman from the Federation," Murray replied.
"A freshman?" Hess frowned slightly.
"I checked, and it's indeed a freshman." While checking the information from the communicator, Murray said, "It's the only freshman who made it out of the group stage in this year. He has made history and is known as the most powerful freshman!"
"The most powerful freshman?" Hearing that, the corners of Hess's mouth suddenly curled up into a smile and he said, "Murray, what do you say... shouldn't we teach this freshman a lesson and let him know that this is the stage for us Peak Level 2 Planetary Lords!"
"I just noticed it too. This guy is obscene, has been hiding in the corner, basically did not come out much." Murray also smiled and said, "It's time for this new student to suffer a little bit, hehe. Besides, the pilot created by this new student is still in the air, which is very eye-catching."
For the giant race, the ones that could fly in the sky were the species they dislike the most.
"Murray, Muse, Laura... Let's kill some unsightly guys, and then fight each other at the end. What do you think?" Hess said to one of the other top ranked contestants.
This was also a subtle rule of the elimination tournament. The strongest ones rarely fight each other; instead, the other weaker participants were eliminated first, and then the showdown.
"Of course, there's no problem. These guys are still thinking of waiting for us guys to fight each other, and then they'll pick up the bargain from the sidelines."
"I also have no problem. The strongest of this group is only the ten of us, the others are all losers."
"Hess, what do you say, which unlucky guy should we start with first?" One of the other contestants had no opinion at all. The idea had been there for a long time.
"Then..." The corner of Hess's mouth curled up into a smile and said, "Let's start with that one over there who I heard is the strongest freshman ever."
"The strongest freshman ever? Do you mean Sebastian from the Federation?"
"Yes, it's that guy."
"Then let's beat this unlucky brat first. The strongest freshman ever? I'm not used to seeing the strongest, the most talented, and so on. I'll go first."
At once, the ground resounded with a violent trembling sound. From the sky, under the monitoring of the drones, it could be seen that a team of tall and slender women with spikes on the surface of their bodies. It was rushing rapidly towards the side of the Astra Militarum.
"Thorny Lady?" Sebastian naturally recognized this particular species.
In particular, it was capable of long-range output by sending a spike from its body and launching at super high speed. Of course, this move was impossible to use until the critical moment.
It wasn't just this Thorny Lady; another trembling sound rang out from the left and right sides. Two more teams forced their way over. This was not all of them; in front of the Astra Militarum, two teams of giants with incomparably powerful aura also followed and surrounded.
One was the Flame Giant that Sebastian had seen once in the entrance exam, and the other was the Black Flame Giant created by Hess, who was recognized as the strongest in this group. This was an even more powerful race of giants than the Flame Giants.
This sudden scene on the race field caught everyone's attention. After all, Hess, Murray, and Laura were ranked at the top of this group. Among them, Hess and Murray were ranked in the top five, while the other two were also ranked in the top twenty. Five contestants ranked in the top teamed up to dealt with one person, causing people who had been watching Sebastian to pale.
"What's wrong with these guys? Why would they besiege Sebastian alone?" Terrell frowned, puzzled.
"Sebastian is in trouble this time." Clifford was also frowning tightly.
The other spectators were feeling quite surprised. Immediately afterwards, there were also many people who figured it out. Isn't this the fact that Hess and other top players are teaming up? Preparing to remove some weak ones first?
"This guy is really unlucky to be targeted by people like Hess." A nobleman who was watching the battle chuckled lightly.
