The top 24 contestants in the individual tournament would all receive a consolation prize from the Sovereign Country worth 500 million.
Thus, many contestants who weren't among the absolute strongest were already quite satisfied just to have made it to the second round. They hadn't really thought about aiming for the top ten.
The rewards for the individual tournament were tiered: one level for the top 24, another for the top ten, and yet another for the top three.
First place, in particular, was in a league of its own.
Because Dongli University had been targeted by the Luofan Country and the Mu Country, their results this time weren't great. Only three students had entered the top 24: Su Ze, Gu Yue'Er, and Li Yongguan.
All three of them had the strength to aim for the top ten.
After the first round, the eliminated students from Dongli University looked grim. Some of them had held high hopes of advancing to the second round.
"Lizard-spawned bastards!"
