As days went by, the much-anticipated martial arts tournament officially commenced!
The tournament began with a grand sea elimination, which took place on the Two-Dimensional Battlefield. Players did not need to register; the system automatically sent out invitations, and those who did not wish to participate could simply choose to refuse.
Players who opted to join were teleported to the Two-Dimensional Battlefield to fight random opponents in a single-round battle. The victor would advance, while the loser was immediately eliminated from the competition.
Such sea eliminations continued for five rounds, progressively selecting the top one billion, top one hundred million, top one million, top 1,024, and finally, the top 64 players. With ten billion players worldwide, narrowing down to the last 64 would take over a month.
