It was all a memory both happy and sad things happened at the same day.Tan Shang's Fighting Compet.i.tion starts tomorrow, I have to work hard in order to get in. I walked back to my Cloud Palace.

"Chao Li, there you are, Snow has woken." the maid said.

I rushed inside the room, I saw a alive bear. He ran toward me with energy and spranged in my arms. Crystal Bears are supposed to protect their owners at all cost, this means that Snow would help me when danger arrives.

NEXT DAY, TAN SHANG'S COMPEt.i.tION....

Different clans come together to join this compet.i.tion, out of 50 people who partic.i.p.ated only 25 people can actually go. I have a 50% chance of winning.

"Excuse me Miss, but you cannot bring this Crystal Bear into the compet.i.tion." the guard said.

"Crystal Bear?" Academy's Teacher Liang Fen asked.

"Yes."

"This lucky girl has a crystal bear?"

"Yes"

"The Bear would be handed to me and she can come in".

I came in and thanked the teacher. Inside there were many of the top clans. The Dragon Clan is the first clan that existed, it was famous for it's dragon techniques. I scanned the people in it's s.h.i.+ny gold clothes.

"Welcome to Tan Shang's Annual 4 Year Event. Like every year only 25 contestants can get to go to Tan Shang. Two contestants would face each other and fight each other, the winning person would go to Tan Shang. First round, Dragon Clan's Qing Wei against Qing Han from the Cloud Clan." the announcer said.

Cloud Clan? I thought, they had never showed themselves to the outside world but now they send someone to the compet.i.tion. The battle between the two guys were firece. Dragon's Clans defense against the Cloud's Clan fast attack. In a blink of an eye, the guy from the Dragon Clan fell to the floor and the bell rang.

"Qing Han from the Cloud Clan wins." the announcer said and everyone clapped.

After many battles from people from the different clans it was finally my turn to against someone.

"Chao Li against Gu Xing" the announcer said and the battle began.

She attacked and I barely doged. People cheered and I lost my mind of concentration. She attacked again and I barely doged her attack. I grabbed my sword and attacked her. I closed my eyes and the picture of the fire appeared. My blood was boiling and I open my eyes, I attacked her again, this time sending her to the floor.

"Chao Li wins!" the announcer said.

I went down the battlefield and I spitted blood.

"Are you ok?" Qing Han asked.

I looked up to him and answered him "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Without knowing my eyes turned red, his face looked changed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing." he said.

Snow appeared and fell asleep in my arms. My eyes turned back to brown and the Academy Teacher Liang Fei stood and appeared in front of me.

"Come with me." he said.

I walked out with him with Snow in my arms until he suddenly stopped and asked me "He is yours?" I stared at him blinking, wondering what he was talking about until he looked at Snow.

"Oh, yeah he's mines."

"Crystal Bears are told to protect their owners. When their owners are in trouble, they would help them. In your case, he's healing you right now."

"Healing me? I'm not hurt in anyway."

"That I don't know. Crystal Bears are very rare, anyone would want it, once you die your Crystal Bear dies, if it dies you have to be careful."

"Thank you for telling me."

"That's the end of the compet.i.tion...." the announcer said.

"Let's go back in."

I walked back in while the announcer continued "All 25 winning contestants are meeting up in 3 days from now at the time of the rising sun."

"Rising Sun?" Everyone questioned.

"Each day, the rising sun is different. The ones that don't meet here by the rising sun would be eliminated."

After the announcer said his final words, all the contestants left.
