Two days later, the third round of the finals took place.

The most anticipated matches were between the teams that had one win so far.

In the second round, the USA managed to win the match in the loser bracket without any surprise, and joined the group with one win. The German team that was still in bad shape ended up losing to France in the losers bracket, allowing France to join the group with one win too.

As a result, there were four teams in the group with one win. Greece and China won their first match but lost their second, and America and France that won in the loser bracket.

Funny thing was, the USA ended up going against Greece once again in the third round. The match took place in the morning, and once again, America lost to Greece...

The American team had already lost to Greece in the first round, but this time, they were struggling even more, as a strong Space Maga had joined the team out of nowhere.

Mo Fan knew her. It was the mad woman, Asha'ruiya!

Mo Fan had been staring at Asha'ruiya's ass for the entire game and happened to realize how strong the woman was. Because of her, it was even more unlikely for the American team to beat Greece. They lost again without any surprise.

The Chinese team was pretty lucky to face France in the third round.

France was actually quite strong, too. The Chinese team was expected to pay some price in order to secure the win, but the members of the French team had been severely injured in the match against Germany. The French team quickly collapsed in the match against the well-rested Chinese team.

The French team did try to put up a fight, but Mu Ningxue had finally shown up in the finals, and did not really give the opposing team any chance with her dominating Ice Domain.

The team was pretty happy with the win. They did not expend too much energy in the match against France, meaning they could give their all in the next match. If they were able to win the next match, it meant they would be ranked in the top three!

Mo Fan was slightly injured in the match against France, so he was asked to rest up in the Healing ward. He ended up missing the match between England and Egypt. The two teams were said to have the greatest disparity in terms of strength.

The Healing ward was not too close nor too far away from the stadium, but Mo Fan could easily hear the explosive uproar of the crowd.

For some reason, Mo Fan was having a bad feeling about it.

”England lost.”

”Are you sure you aren't trying to fool me?”

”I'm not, England lost the match. They lost to Egypt. Holy crap, I feel like I'm going nuts; is Egypt using some evil, forbidden magic? They are able to summon endless undead, and each undead was even stronger than the ones Summoned before. You have no idea, the strongest guy on the English team, when I saw his magic, I was already convinced that he's the strongest participant in the tournament. Even with his third-tier Advanced Spell, he still couldn't handle the undead strategy!” Zhao Manyan said on the phone.

Zhao Manyan went straight to the stadium to watch the match as soon as he recovered, while Mo Fan was left in the Healing ward. The French team had desperately focused their attacks on Mo Fan during the match, allowing Mu Ningxue to stack her Ice as she pleased. The French team naively thought they could win the match by taking out Mo Fan, but Mu Ningxue's Ice Domain was like a heavy slap to their face.

”It sounds like the Egyptian team is unstoppable? Are they seriously going to win the tournament with their undead strategy?” Mo Fan was utterly shocked by the result.

Mo Fan had fought against the Egyptian team at the Training Hall. He even scolded the crap out of them, but to his surprise, the Egyptian team had made such a great comeback in the tournament by defeating two powerhouses, Greece and England...

Everyone could easily tell that Egypt was simply abusing their dirty strategy to win the matches, yet the teams were struggling to find a way to overcome it. The Egyptian team was unbeatable, as even the elites of the English team had lost too!

If the Chinese team was considered a black horse, the Egyptian team would be a black dragon. They had taken all the attention of the people that were watching the World College Tournament.

The Egyptian team won three matches in a row with their undead strategy, placing them at the top of the bracket, guaranteeing itself a spot in the top three.

USA had lost miserably in this tournament. It no longer had a chance to be placed in the top three. From this point on, it was up to England, China, and Greece to see who was going to take on the Egypt team in the final showdown!

In the past, there were a few surprising teams that had ended up winning the tournament, but the people across the world were having a hard time believing that Egypt had managed to come so far. Perhaps even the people in Egypt were having a hard time believing it.

After the first three rounds, USA, Germany, France, and Canada no longer had a chance of being placed in the top three. The people were not really interested in the teams ranked in the bottom four, either. Their eyes were on the teams that were competing for the top four places.

Egypt had become the final boss, the only team with three wins so far. It had already claimed a spot in the final match. The members of the Egyptian team were obviously going to watch China, England, and Greece fighting over the last chance with grins on their faces...

The rules had changed in the fourth round.

Since China, England, and Greece had the same number of wins, the fourth round was no longer a battle between two teams, but a mixed battle between three teams.
