After the day of the preliminary matches, there were two days given as rest days before the finals were held.
While they were called the finals, these matches would be held over the span of a week.
After all, even if they had held preliminaries to whittle the number of contestants down, there were still too many people who had signed up for this tournament in the end. So they had no choice but to hold the matches for the finals over several days.
Mo Ze Chen actually wasn't even scheduled to fight until the second day, so he was given three days to rest instead.
After all, they reserved the matches that everyone wanted to see for the first day to build hype for the tournament and Mo Ze Chen was left for the second day, the day with the matches that fewer people wanted to see. The second day was really a day of rest for the audience after the hype of the first day.
But Mo Ze Chen didn't mind since he wanted to be underestimated.
