Wuhun Hall was close, and the skyscrapers of Spirit Hall touched the clouds even from a distance. 

Jiang grew increasingly nervous as they advanced, eventually opting to fly as a human. The two of them side by side until finally deciding to walk the rest of the way. 

The closer they approached, the more people they encountered, and the more spirit masters they met. They were easy to spot, too.

Walking with their heads raised high, in various clan clothing or wearing the signs of a free master attached to them, their demeanor exuded a spirit master's presence. For a moment she wondered if there was ever to be a moment when she would be this easily recognizable as a spirit master as they were.

Since both Jiang and Yin wore much simpler outfits, as one did when traveling a long way. Their boots smeared with dirt, they stuck out like sore thumbs among the spirit masters. 

Once again, Yin admired the female masters, who were surprisingly few in comparison to the men who walked past her in towering high heels. 

When entering the city, everyone had to line up. It was at that point that Jiang said. 

"This is as far as I'll go." Yin turned around. 

"Alright. Where will you be staying?" She asked him and he nodded south.

"You remember that village half a day down. I'll make myself comfortable there." He told her, and she nodded before feeling his worried look. "Just promise me to be careful." 

"I'll be careful, don't worry. I already saw a few people from the Seven Treasures. I will seek them out; no one will think much of a foreign spirit master when he comes with them. Also, I have a token and everything, and with a bit of luck, I might even meet Teacher." She said and patted his shoulders as the line to enter the city shortened again. Jiang gave her a quick hug before turning and stepping aside. Waiting for her to join, as it was her turn. 

"ID." The security man said, and Tang Yin provided her ID, putting her spirit master token on the table. There was no point in hiding it. From the measures of security she had seen, it was better to be upfront. 

"Tang San, age 14...you have the same name as one of the participants?" He said, startled, and she smiled. 

"Yes." 

"But this is a boy's name, you are a girl." 

"It's a girl's name, Sir." She said with a sigh. "Technically, look at how it is written." 

The man took a second look, and then it seemed to dawn upon him. 

"I see what you mean, you look a bit young for fourteen, though." He said, still eyeing her, and she sighed. 

"I have good genes. I look younger now, and it continues when I am fifty, sir." She said with a smile. He handed her the token back. 

"Reason for visit?" 

"Family and the Tournament, of course." 

"Clan?" 

"Tang Sect." 

"Never heard of that one before." He muttered. 

"Well, it's a small rural clan." She said with a smile. "Nothing special. It's not a surprise." 

"Ahh, I see. Welcome to Wuhun City, then Miss Tang." 

"Thank you, Sir." She bowed and tucked her token away. 

Then, entering the city with a smile and a sigh of relief. It was always like this whenever someone checked her token.

She grew nervous even though it was a real one, or rather, it was the one her brother lost as a kid, officially at least. Unlike him, Yin had never been formally registered as a spirit Master. 

Su Yuntao, her first awakener when she had been six, had never registered her as a spirit master. Too dazzled by her brother's full innate spirit power, yet she had only a trash spirit in her eyes. Also, what were the chances there were two people with full innate spirit power in one measly village?

At least in his eyes.

Nuoding hadn't paid any attention to them and their activities, except for the grandmaster, who had never seen a reason to put forward his knowledge about their abilities. 

So, when Tang San went to upgrade at a facility, he was well-known there, so he pretended to have lost his token and obtained a new one. The old, lost one, had wandered into her hands, for cases like these. 

Since most of their Data was identical in outward appearance, and Tang San was, in fact, more a girl's name than one for a boy, no one ever asked. 

The only downside was. It had not been updated in years. She put it into storage and then looked around. Now she was searching for the seven treasures or Shrek. 

Since the participants were most likely lodging somewhere separate, closed to the public, seven treasures was most likely a lot easier. 

The question was whether it was a hotel or a residence here. She looked around. The streets were packed with people. 

Making her way through them, he ended up at a snack shop. "One pack of Candy," Yin ordered and put the money for two on the table. "And if you'd kindly point me to the most exclusive hotel around." 

The woman eyed her and took the coin, pushing forward the candy pack.

"Spirit Crystal. Two streets down, right at the plaza." She said, but Yin shook her head. 

"Exclusive, not Expensive." 

The woman smiled and came forth from behind her stall. "Head down the street. Take the third alley to the left, walk till the end, and then turn right. The Sleeping Lotus. It looks a bit shabby from the outside, so don't be surprised. But if you are going for the most Exclusive, then that's the place to go." 

"Thanks." She said and popped a candy into her mouth. These were really good and headed the way the woman had pointed her at.
