110 First fight at the clan tournamen (1/2)

Bai Yun soon came to the field where the clan tournament was held. It was a large field that was cordoned off into multiple arenas. Each of these arenas were used for holding a fight.

Unlike the Youngsters tournament, the fights in the clan meeting did not take place simultaneously for different cultivation realms. The whole tournament was hed over seven days. The morning of the first day was for the clan meeting that just took place. The afternoon of the first day and the second day was for the qi condensation realm tournament. The third day and the first half of the fourth day was for the foundation establishment realm tournament. The next one and a half days were for the core formation realm tournament. And the final two days were for the nascent soul realm tournament. Due to the strict time constraints, fights would happen throughout the day and night. Thus people often had no time to rest. Thus only those who were truly excellent would emerge as the final winner.

As a result, the main leaders of the clan would all come to watch the fights. It was also considered a great honor to fight in front of them. The clan leader and some of the elders were all in attendance. They were sitting in a large stand a little distance from the field. But with their cultivation, they could easily see the entire field.

And there was a lot of space between the arenas. Thus the spectators who had a high enough cultivation could watch from outside the field, while the youngsters who wanted to participate would typically mingle around inside the field near the arenas.

Bai Mu led Bai Yun to the place of his first fight. The details about the fight could be sensed through the token that was given to Bai Yun when he registered. Nobody knew his true strength, so Bai Yun was not a seeded participant. So he did not get a bye in the first round. The point of seeded participants was to make sure that the strong ones did not fight early. Since the total number of people who registered was not an exact power of two, there were a lot of people who would get a bye in the first round. Some of them were the seeded participants, while some of them were just lucky. Bai Yun wasn't one of them.

The people who saw Bai Yun being led by Bai Mu was surprised. They quickly realized that Bai Yun was blind. Bai Mu led Bai Yun to the location of the first fight and stood near the arena. Suddenly the voice of the clan leader sounded out near Bai Mu's ear ”Nephew Mu, what happened to little Yun.” As the grandson of a grand elder and the rising star of the clan, the clan leader was paying special attention to Bai Mu. Ths he saw Bai Yun's situation immediately.

”Its nothing serious.” Bai Mu replied. ”He accidentally hurt his eyes while training. It is recovering well and he should be back to full strength in two weeks. It's just that the timing is a bit bad.” Bai Mu did not tell anyone about the fact that Bai Yun had awoken an innate ability. There was no need to publicize such things. Especially now that they knew that someone in the clan had tried to hurt Bai Yun.

The clan leader did not delve too much into this. Even though Bai Yun was a member of that crazy family, he had yet to show his strength. Add to that was the fact that his impression of Bai Yun was that of a weak child due to his damaged soul. Thus he didn't think much of Bai Yun, though he did keep an eye on him.

And he wasn't too worried about the fact that Bai Yun was fighting in the clan tournament even though he only started to train a few months ago. Considering the personality of all the people in that family, they might even send a toddler to fight a dragon, just for the experience. So sending Bai Yun to get some experience, even when he was blind, was entirely keeping up with their character.

Bai Yun waited outside the arena for a while waiting for the other participant to come. Since the field was so large in order to accommodate many arenas, it took time to navigate it. When he finally arrived, it was time for the fight to begin.

Bai Mu took Bai Yun to the base of the arena and let him go. Bai Yun took out a walking stick form his storage ring. He then slowly walked up the steps into the arena.

There were a lot of people who were watching this fight. It was not every day that a blind man was going to fight in the clan tournament.

When Bai Yun stood up at the arena, the young man at the other side was visibly confused. He looked at Bai Yun up and down before bristling in anger.

”Are you trying to anger me to death by sending a blind man to be my opponent?” The young man said.

Bai Yun stared at the young man's direction in confusion. ”You do realize the matches were arranged randomly right?” Bai Yun asked.

For a moment the young man was surprised. He did not expect such a response from Bai Yun. ”Whatever.” The young man continued. ”Considering you are blind I will give you a chance. Leave now while I am still being merciful. Later on, you won't get the chance.”

Bai Yun chuckled when he heard this. He simply put away the walking stick and motioned his opponent to come.

”Hmph. Fine.” The young man said.

The referee who was standing there seemed to be quite amused by this exchange. He then raised his hand and shouted ”Begin.”

The moment the match began, the young man ran at Bai Yun. But Bai Yun stood there motionless. When the young man reached Bai Yun he jumped up. A red glow lit up on his palm.

”Demon subduing palm.” The young man shouted as he attacked Bai Yun.

Bai Yun was unfazed at the face of his attack. Bai Yun simply smiled and took a step to the right at the last moment, allowing the attack to pass him by without doing any harm.
