June 22, Thursday, after the opening ceremony, the first round of the qualifying tournament officially began.
"Know your enemy and know yourself, win a hundred battles."
To gather more intelligence, David Jones and Margaret Yule arrived early at the bustling Battle Gym to see if there were any noteworthy opponents.
However, after watching the fierce battles between pets for just a short time, David found it uninteresting and quickly made up an excuse to return to the hotel to continue strengthening his pet.
And so, David spent a day exhausting his energy.
The second day of qualifiers was the final confrontation between the losers' and winners' groups, ultimately determining the top eight players who could advance to the top sixteen, making the battles increasingly intense.
In pursuit of the final eight spots, these contestants focused on their strongest cards, hiding their bottom cards for fear of elimination, and not even making it into the top sixteen.
