The youngster's tournament was held by the city itself . The major forces of the city would come together to organize the event . It was considered as a good way to encourage the younger generation to do better, as well as have interaction between them to understand how good their rivals are . It was also a chance for the forces to recruit promising youngsters who were not part of any major force . There were many people who flocked to the city to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament in hope of a better future .

The youngster's tournament was held in the city arenas . The main arena was used for the higher cultivation realms . The qi condensation realm was conducted in one of the minor arenas . Even though it was called a minor arena, it was still extremely large with nearly a hundred smaller arenas to battle in . As the rounds became higher and higher and the number of players decreased, the number of arenas would be reduced to let the spectators have a better view .

The tournament was a simple elimination type tournament . There were over twenty thousand partic.i.p.ants in the tournament . With the high number of people who would be partic.i.p.ating in the tournament, they could not hope to do a round robin type tournament . This way there would only be fifteen rounds .

Old Hai dropped off Bai Yun a good distance from the arena . When Bai Yun finally made it to the arena, the opening ceremonies were just coming to an end . The official in charge of the youngster's tournament for the qi condensation realm this year was an elder of the hunters union . He quickly announced the start of the tournament and let it start without any fanfare .

Bai Yun had already been issued a partic.i.p.ant number when old Hai went to register him for the tournament a month ago . He quickly found his arena as well as his time of the fight . It was in one of the smaller arenas in the afternoon a few days later . Due to the number of partic.i.p.ants in the tournament, some of the people, including ninety nine seeded contestants, would get a bye in the first round . Depending on the other fights before his, it could potentially be delayed .

Bai Yun walked around the arena . By now the matchups had been decided and the matches had started . He walked around and saw for himself the kind of fights that were happening in the arenas .

It would be a lie to say that Bai Yun was not impressed by what he saw . Even though not to the extend of Zhang Zi, the people here almost all had a much better fighting experience than the likes of Bai Song . But it was obvious that their cultivation techniques were lacking . The force they could generate was much weaker than what the people at Bai clan could generate . Bai Yun figured it was probably due to this reason that the major forces could keep their power .

Suddenly, he froze . On one of the arenas, Bai Yun saw Song Hui .

Bai Yun had no idea what she was doing in the arena . He knew that she was a seeded contestant, just like him . Bai Yun had registered using the Long Tian ident.i.ty he used for the gold test . Many people had seen the battle video of his fight with Zhang Zi . So many people had an idea of his strength and he had gotten the tenth seed . Zhang Zi was obviously the first seed . Due to this, he did not have to fight in the first round .

And Song Hui was also needed at the fifty eighth place . By right she should not be fighting now . Unless she did something insane . 'And what were the chances of that happening?' Bai Yun thought .

Song Hui easily disposed of her opponent, a poor guy in the eighth stage of the qi condensation realm . Just because her whip technique was nothing in front of Bai Yun's eyes, it was not the same for the rest of the world . Her opponent was unable to cope with the rapid change of direction and was struck out easily .

Bai Yun stood there watching Song Hui . She was jubilant upon her victory and had thrown up her hands and started to jump around . She only stopped when the judge finally reminded her .

With a happy hop, she finally got down from the stage . Coincidentally, her eyes closed with that of Bai Yun's at that moment . 's.h.i.+t' Bai Yun thought . He was a little scared of this strange creature and had no desire to interact with her .

"Big brother Long, long time no see . " Song Hui shouted . She then bounded up towards him . Bai Yun initially wanted to run, but after Song Hui's shout, all the people here were looking at him . It felt wrong to run now . Bai Yun resigned himself to his fate .

"What are you doing here?" He asked Sing Hui when she reached him .

"Partic.i.p.ating in the tournament . " Song Hui responded innocently . The look in her eyes was asking why Bai Yun would ask such a question . Bai Yun almost thought that he was the fool for asking such a question .

"I meant why are partic.i.p.ating in the first round . Arent you a seeded partic.i.p.ant . Don't you get a bye in the first round . " Bai Yun asked .

The moment he said so, Song Hui looked startled . She looked around as if to make sure that no one heard him and then turned back to look at bai Yun . "What are you talking about, big brother Yun . I'm not a seeded contestant . "

"Song Hui what are you talking about . I just checked . You are the fifty eighth seed . " Bai Yun replied .

"Song Hui, who's Song Hui? My name is Hui Song . " She replied . Bai Yun looked at Song Hui, who simply stared back at him with her big rabbit eyes, the very picture of innocence . BAi Yun suddenly felt the oncoming of a migraine .

Bai Yun calmed himself down after a few moments . "What are you talking about?"

Song Hui looked around as if to make sure that no one was watching . Then she took a couple of steps closer to Bai Yun and slowly started to whisper . Bai Yun had to bend his head to hear her .

"Shh . Don't tell anyone . I registered a second ident.i.ty as Hui Song to battle . " Song Hui explained .

In the youngster's tournament, it was difficult to check if someone had registered multiple times . Thus they just made it legal to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament with multiple ident.i.ties, even though it wasn't encouraged by the organizers . The advantage of this was that even if you had a bad matchup and lost a battle, you could still have a second chance to fight on .

But not many people would choose to register multiple ident.i.ties . The reason was that it was extremely taxing . They would have to fight often and if both of their ident.i.ties got scheduled to a match at the same time, then you had to forfeit one . And the stress of all those extra fights could easily cause problems . And anyone who was confident in themselves would not stoop to such levels to prove themselves .

So Bai Yun was completely stunned when he heard Song Hui say that she registered a second ident.i.ty . Bai Yun could not understand why she would want to do so .

"Why?" Bai Yun asked her . He was genuinely curious now .

"Being a seeded compet.i.tor is too boring . I'm not gonna fight as Song Hui . " Song Hui replied mischievously . "Just think about it . If I partic.i.p.ate as an unknown fighter and defeat everyone, they will be all surprised . They will call me a dark horse and all . Then they will be all like, can she do it . Will she win . And when I do, everyone will cheer for me . Doesn't that sound more exciting . "

"But you're not even hiding your face . " Bai Yun tried to reason with her . "They can still see you . They'll know you are you . "

"How will they know . I'm fighting as Hui Song . " Song Hui replied with confidence .

Bai Yun wanted to strangle her when he heard her reply, but he was afraid he would get a bit of her stupidity on him . Even just talking to her, he could feel his brain cells dying .

"Brilliant plan . Only you could have thought of this . " Bai Yun finally said with a sigh .

"Yay . " Song Hui shouted and did a small twirl . Bai Yun just watched her with a smile .

"Its too soon to celebrate . " A voice sounded out from beside them . Bai Yun looked to his right to see Zhang Zi standing there . Bai Yun had felt Zhang Zi coming, so he was not surprised .

"What do you mean?" Song Hui asked .

"Did you check the latest seeding rankings . " Zhang Zi said with a smile . "Both Song Hui and Hui Song are now the fifty eighth seed . They already found out about your dual ident.i.ty trick . "

"How did they know!?" Song Hui asked . She seemed genuinely surprised that someone was able to see through her tick .

"Who knows how they found out . Maybe they are just that smart . " Zhang Zi replied with a chuckle .

"This won't do . I have to fix this . " Song Hui shouted . She then ran off in the direction of the organizer's desk, fully intent on changing her seeding status . Bai Yun watched her as she ran off . He could not sense anyone following after her, not even the maid who was with her at the auction .

"Why aren't there anyone with her . Aren't they afraid someone will tempt her away with candy? Or she would just get lost . " Bai Yun asked Zhang Zi .

"She always finds her way home . Sometimes after a few days . But always . " Zhang Zi replied . "And they used to be worried about her safety . That was until she got kidnapped . "

"I see . What?" Bai Yun was confused . Why would someone be worried until their child got kidnapped? Usually, that's when you start to worry .

"The kidnappers returned her two days later . And then they turned themselves in . I heard that some of them went mad after two days with her . " Zhang Zi explained .

Bai Yun understood it when phrased like that . The strange creature was truly powerful . Bai Yun had a feeling that even the devil emperor himself might be helpless in front of her . 'Next time someone invades, we should just send her . ' Bai Yun thought .

"I'm looking forward to our fight . " Zhang Zi suddenly said .

"Me too . " Bai Yun replied . " Don't think it will be a repeat of the last time . I'm not the same guy you faced before . "

"Me neither . " Zhang Zi said . "But too bad . Based on the current schedule, it won't be until the finals . Don't g losing until then . "

Bai Yun chuckled . "The same to you . "

The two of them shared a look filled with fighting intent . Then they smiled and walked away from one another .

They both went back to their homes after this to train . Their next fight was only a few days later, but seeing each other burned both of their fighting spirits .

Neither of them wanted to lose .
