"This year's National Ceremony duel is truly spectacular, the most exciting in centuries when looking back."
"Who could have thought that the military's heavy magic construct, Cold Pudding, would also be eliminated? In past events, even if Bao Ligen couldn't win the championship, he would have certainly secured the runner-up place."
"The competition this year is too intense, there are too many strong participants in the duel!"
"It is unfortunate, none of the top four are Snow Elves. There are three outsiders among them, and only Long Meng is left among our nationals."
"Long Meng absolutely must win the championship! If an outsider wins the championship in the National Ceremony duel, it would be truly embarrassing."
"The current problem is, Shichijiro is really strong, very strong. How does his resurrection work, we haven't seen it with our own eyes. If someone can force him to show his trump card, revealing more of his intelligence, Long Meng's odds of winning will increase."
