Ba Wangba was intrigued when Tang Rao showed interest, and he got into the mood for storytelling too.

"You wouldn't know, that guy also came up from Blue Star, named Li Ze, when he fights, he doesn't even care for his life."

Li Ze?

Tang Rao took out his phone from the portable palace and pulled up a picture of Li Ze.

"Is this the Li Ze?"

If it is, then things just got interesting.

"Yes, yes, yes, at the time our Northwest War King chose us just because our sect's name sounded more domineering than others, but when he first came up, his ability was average. A month later, even I wasn't qualified to spar with him, utterly embarrassing."

Ba Wangba only dared to talk about such embarrassing matters with Tang Rao.

"Brother Tang Rao, do you know him?"

Ba Wangba couldn't believe it.

Why does it seem like Tang Rao knows every person he knows or doesn't know?

"Not only do I know him, but I'm also very familiar with him, he's my little brother."

Although saying this to Ba Wangba might seem a bit pretentious for Tang Rao.

"Little brother?"

That answer was unacceptable to him.

"I know the truth is hard to accept. Next time you see him, just ask him who Tang Rao is."

When you see Li Ze, Ba Wangba only needs to ask one question, and that's enough.

"No need for next time, he's participating in the trial this time too. We've been divided into different areas, and if we're lucky, we might run into each other on the way."

"Really?"

When Tang Rao returned to Blue Star, he heard Li Ze had come up. He hadn't had time to find Li Ze, but coincidentally, Li Ze was right in Ba Wangba's sect.

"Why would I lie to you? From the looks of him this time, he seems pretty determined to get a ranking, right?"

Ba Wangba downed the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Brother Wang Ba, actually, aside from being competitive and stubborn, he's a pretty decent guy."

You need to learn to forgive him.

Tang Rao didn't dare to say the next sentence.

A person who beat Tang Rao so hard he was calling for his parents; next time, Tang Rao would definitely pay him back in kind. The same goes for Ba Wangba.

Expecting Ba Wangba to forgive Li Ze was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

"Hm, not bad."

Heh heh heh.

Ba Wangba felt somewhat depressed, drinking the whole bottle of Heavenly Destiny like it was plain water. After finishing, he ordered another jar to incessantly drink with Tang Rao.

"Brother Tang Rao, that's enough, let's stop the drinking here. I need to buy some things at the marketplace. If we don't prepare the necessities for the Ice and Snow World, passing through this place is almost impossible."

Drinking so much, Ba Wangba wasn't drunk. He must've been somewhat hurt by Tang Rao's words earlier as well.

"I'll come with you."

Tang Rao left ten Immortal Stones on the table, part for the food and drink, the rest as a tip for the waiter.

They were already at the marketplace, so they could buy things as soon as they went downstairs.

Because of the cold snow, most of the vendors wore thick fur coats, and the items they sold were already covered with a thick layer of frost.

To know what the vendors were selling, one had to brush away the frost.

It felt like a treasure hunt.

"Soul Shifting Treasure Book, three million Immortal Stones, fixed price."

"Ten-thousand-year ice crystal, five million Immortal Stones, negotiable."

"Gordon Divine Grass, ten million Immortal Stones, negotiable."

The shouting prices were so high, many gathered for fun, but very few actually spent money to buy.

"These things are so expensive, they aren't worth their real price, but selling stuff in this ice and snow is tough work, so calling out higher prices is understandable."

Ba Wangba looked at several items, but abandoned them due to the high costs.

"Brother Wang Ba, if you fancy something nice, I'll gift it to you."

Tang Rao noticed Ba Wangba's awkwardness and decided to buy the things Ba Wangba fancied but hesitated to purchase.

"Forget it, your Immortal Stones aren't easy to come by either. There will be many places we need Immortal Stones for in the future; we should save where we can."

Despite wanting to buy, Ba Wangba had more self-restraint than others.

"Brother Wang Ba, you're being so courteous, I won't get used to it."

Tang Rao disappeared with a swoosh in front of Ba Wangba, and when he returned, he had bought all the items Ba Wangba had his eye on but hesitated to buy.

"For you, in case someone else buys them later, we could still make some profit."

Such generosity was just for Ba Wangba—in case of a fangirl, they'd surely be willing to give both soul and body for Tang Rao.

"Thank you, brother Tang Rao."

Ba Wangba didn't act reserved, a simple sentence carried deep brotherly affection.

Tang Rao was laughing in his heart, no thanks are needed, you've already told me Li Ze's whereabouts; that's the biggest gift for me, and I couldn't be happier right now.

Tang Rao only bought some unique Ice and Snow World jewelry for the girls at home. As for other Immortal Elixirs and treasures, what Tang Rao had was far better than what people were selling.

"This is our upcoming map, do you want to take a look?"

Ba Wangba handed Tang Rao a piece of paper, with their tasks written on it.

Strangely, why didn't Tang Rao have these papers? He was completely unaware of the tasks, yet Ba Wangba could clearly know the terrain and what exactly would be tested.

"Brother Wang Ba, where did you get these maps?"

Tang Rao looked, the terrain had no issues because he'd seen it in a large painting, and the large painting and the one Ba Wangba showed matched exactly.

"Bought them just now, one Immortal Stone each, I think it's quite worth it."

Only one Immortal Stone for a terrain map is indeed quite worth it.

Those selling terrain maps, who knows their intentions.

Are they simply making money, or do they have other conspiracies?

At the moment, it's unknown.

"The terrain is completely correct, and it mentions completing tasks will drop items and can accumulate points. It looks quite tempting, but it's unclear if it's real information."

Tang Rao checked the introduction carefully, even he began to be tempted.

"Regardless of whether it's correct, these are roads we have to travel. Why care so much? We'll know once we check it out."

Surprisingly, Ba Wangba was more optimistic than Tang Rao at this time.

"Alright."

If someone intended to set traps, Tang Rao and his companions couldn't avoid it either; rather than that, facing it early to take the initiative might be better.

"Congratulations on completing your warm-up. Come forward to receive the clearance token."

Not far ahead, a platform suddenly appeared five meters in front of Tang Rao and Ba Wangba.

The Crown Prince stood taller, supporting the woman standing on it.

"What's this thing?"

Tang Rao was too focused on looking at the tokens and hadn't glanced carefully at the woman.

"This is, of course, the entrance to the 'Heaven' realm."

This is 'Heaven'?

The Yetis Tang Rao had worked hard to defeat were just a warm-up?

The people of Ice and Snow World really know how to play.

"Sister, since you've mentioned that we're entering the realm, you must know the tasks inside, right?"

Tang Rao sweet-talked, making the girl distributing tokens blush.
