The tournament starts ch.8

Alex and his master entered the Freezing sword sect and a disciple asked them what sect they belonged to. After Alex's master said that it's the battle Palm Sect, the disciple of the Freezing sword sect had to try really hard not to laugh.

Alex wasn't surprised. He knew how bad the rumors of the battle Palm Sect were. Everyone looked down on the battle Palm Sect. A lot of people are even betting on how the battle Palm Sect will lose this time. But Alex didn't plan to lose, losing would be the same as failing and disappointing his entire sect, he had no choice but to win.

„OK, I confirmed your identity, you both can come in" said the disciple of the Freezing sword sect. And they both went inside without even looking back. They both knew that most people saw the battle Palm Sect as nothing more than a big joke.

But Alex and his master ignored all the laughter and jokes. The battle Palm Sect was always targeted even at the times when the battle Palm Sect had a high rank at the tournament. And that was because Alex's master was the strongest of all the masters of the branch sects. They always had envied him much, and once the battle Palm Sect lost in the tournament a lot of sects started to work really hard to destroy the public image of the battle Palm Sect.

The battle Palm Sect that was once feared was now a laughing stock in the public eyes. But this would all end now, it was time for the battle Palm Sect to reclaim it's throne. Alex and his master were very calm, they both knew that most competitors wouldn't pose a threat to Alex. Only really talented people who already entered advanced rank would pose a threat to him.

And only the main disciple of the Freezing sword sect reached advanced rank at the age of 12. The fight against him would be the key fight of the entire tournament. This vicious fighting style of the Freezing sword sect would pose a real threat to Alex, even just a small wound could mean that he would lose.

Alex and his master found a room to spend the night in after talking to some disciples. The tournament would start the next day and it was important that Alex wasn't tired. After they entered their room for the night Alex started training for another two hours. Then he went to bed and slept till the next morning without any interruptions.

The next morning both Alex and his master got up early, Alex got some advice from his master and then started a short morning training. After breakfast they both got ready to leave for the tournament. When they finally entered the tournament place, a lot of masters and disciples from other sects were already there. You could hear a lot of excited chatting and people who were betting who would win, the tournament was about to begin.
