The drawings for the advancement round continued.
Udi of Copper starfield was matched against Marcus, the eight-star expert from Vesta starfield.
His luck immediately drew the envy of most of the competitors.
A nine-star expert against an eight-star expert—this was practically no more difficult than a warm-up match!
"Udi practically picked up a massive bargain this round."
"That luck of his must have been blessed by the Goddess of Fortune herself!"
"Facing a mere eight-star opponent, Udi will probably pass this round without even breaking a sweat."
Immediately afterward, White Wolf of Alba starfield, who ranked tenth on the Combat Power Rankings, was matched against Silas of Viridis starfield, who ranked thirteenth.
Although this was likewise a pinnacle clash between two nine-star experts, the spectators generally favored White Wolf.
"Back when White Wolf's name already shook the four directions, Silas probably hadn't even stepped through the Gate of Divinity yet."
