"Little cousin, you're really straightforward."

Tang Rao handed over the chocolate, and her little cousin gave Tang Rao a list. On the list were everyone's scores, clearly ranked from high to low.

Their scores had already been added. Tang Rao ranked in the top twenty, while the other two were in their twenties.

There were plenty of strong contenders ahead.

"Let me take a photo."

Wen Xiaotiao had no idea what the thing Tang Rao took out was, but it flashed twice, and then Tang Rao put it away.

"Old Crane, we're hopeless about advancing. I was thinking of heading over to the Endless Sea after winning, but those top ten spots are really hard to snag."

Every time Tang Rao looked at the list, he couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

"Endless Sea? You mean you're here just to take a look at the Endless Sea?"

Wang He looked at Tang Rao with eyes full of horror.

He never imagined that an Immortal Emperor in his thirties would have such a bold idea.

The Endless Sea was a nightmare for everyone in the Land of Immortals. No one dared to approach it unless they were utterly tempted.

"Yes, few in the Land of Immortals can enter the Endless Sea. There are so many places to explore inside; I don't want to miss out."

Tang Rao did not hide his inner yearning. The Endless Sea was immensely vast; anyone capable was welcome to explore at any time.

Wang He still couldn't understand, "To this day, fewer than ten people have gone into the Endless Sea and come out alive. Do you really want to go?"

Wang He rarely found a kindred spirit, and only after not knowing Tang Rao for long had to watch him seek doom, which left Wang He feeling unwilling.

"I know my limits, senior. The fourth region hasn't started yet, and whether we can go or not is still unknown. Let's not get excited too soon."

Indeed, Tang Rao had just looked at the scores in the third region. He was ranked twentieth; there were plenty of talents ahead, and standing tall in the fourth region was a whole different story.

The fourth region stressed the word 'one'. Does it mean only one can survive?

No, there are ten top spots after all. If only one could survive, what's the point of this trial?

"This is the entrance to the fourth region. You, plus everyone else, make a total of four hundred fifty people. You'll be divided into ten groups, each with forty-five people. You need to defeat all the immortal beasts assigned to your region within the allotted time. As long as you can subdue the immortal beasts, you win. If time runs out, or if you die within the allotted time, you lose."

It's that simple, impossible.

What should the remaining people do then?

"After the first stage, the remaining people will battle to determine victory."

What?

There's a thing like this?

Could the Ice and Snow World be any sneakier?

"There aren't any other rules after that, right?"

If Wen Xiaotiao continued talking, Tang Rao would certainly ensure he regretted it, making Wen Xiaotiao doubt life.

"That's it. The final winner will get the prize. But usually, you quit halfway; there are so many experts ahead, it'd be a miracle if you could beat them."

Wen Xiaotiao never believed in Tang Rao, yet Tang Rao always manages to challenge Wen Xiaotiao's worldview, which irked Wen Xiaotiao.

"Then just you wait!"

After grabbing the card and team badge for the fourth region, Tang Rao bypassed Wen Xiaotiao and headed forward.

"What's the big deal, really? If you weren't my brother-in-law, I'd definitely trip you up, Wen Xiaotiao, making sure you couldn't even pass the third region, humph."

Seeing Tang Rao leave, Wen Xiaotiao also stormed off.

The fourth region was another world entirely.

The climate here was very similar to that of Blue Star; warm and comfortable. The wind felt like it was a blanket being draped over one's body.

"Boss, they said we need to gather at the base camp, find our team, and only proceed once everyone's together."

Li Ze reviewed the rules on the card and repeated them to Tang Rao, only to receive a simple curse from Tang Rao.

"Troublesome indeed, but we've made it here; we got to meet everyone, so it's not a loss. Let's go."

The base camp had ten huge resting areas, each matching the color of the badge in Tang Rao's hand. He held the green one, for reasons unknown he particularly disliked this hope-filled color.

After all, what's waiting for them is a green tent, like a giant green hat placed over the head.

"This color is quite festive."

All three of them were in the green group; Li Ze and Wang He had no objections, but Tang Rao kept grumbling after entering the tent.

"What's with all the noise, so annoying."

Tang Rao complained a bit about the color, and a person sitting not far from him couldn't help but curse.

"Shut up, I like it."

Seeing the green hat looming over him, Tang Rao was already in a bad mood, and with such a comment, how could he stand it?

"What did you say? Say it again?"

As soon as Tang Rao said that, someone couldn't take it anymore.

A dagger was pointed at Tang Rao's head; with a slight force, they could resolve Tang Rao right then and there.

This person was stronger than Tang Rao; he truly hadn't noticed earlier.

"Zhou Xun, come back."

Just as Zhou Xun was about to confront Tang Rao, a worn-out voice echoed.

Zhou Xun was obedient, with just a call, he withdrew and returned to his original spot.

"Welcome to the green team, young brother."

The worn-out voice spoke again, and Tang Rao was sure it was directed at him.

"Thank you, thank you, I was just in a bad mood earlier, don't hold it against me, big brother."

Tang Rao wasn't stupid; if a fierce person like Zhou Xun could listen to just a gentle word and pull back, then the big brother's strength must be above Zhou Xun's.

"Young brother, we only have thirty people now, so let's just sit tight and wait. We'll set out when we have all forty-five people."

Tang Rao glanced around; everyone in the group seemed accustomed to deferring to the weathered man. Oh well, he decided not to stand out, just wait and see what happens when the leader makes a move.

"Senior, I always feel there's something odd about this team; have you sensed it?"

Tang Rao transmitted his thoughts to Wang He, who furrowed his brows.

Even without Tang Rao speaking up, Wang He felt the strange ambiance in the group.

"I've noticed it since we got here. Let's just watch and wait."

Wang He was experienced enough to keep his cool, remaining unflustered even during tense moments.

The long waiting period didn't let Tang Rao relax his caution. Only by staying alert could he avoid being taken advantage of.

Before entering the Ice and Snow World, Chen Tuan had taught Tang Rao as much.

At midnight, wolves howled in the mountains, with specks of light stretching to illuminate each tent.

More people crawled into the tent; everyone who entered shivered with cold.

The worn-out man checked each person's badge color; once he confirmed them, he gave an affirmative grunt.

The sky had completely darkened. Originally planning to depart immediately, but seeing the sky, the departure was postponed until early morning.
