"True Gods, huh?" Yun Lintian echoed, curiosity piqued. "So they're competing too?"
Huang Ba chuckled. "Of course. Not all True Gods hole themselves up in the Holy Lands. We could use our masters' influence to secure direct entry, but where's the fun in that?" He shrugged, a hint of recklessness glinting in his eyes. "Besides, a little competition never hurt anyone, right?"
Huang Ba eyed Yun Lintian with a flicker of suspicion. "With your obvious prowess, victory in this competition would be a mere formality. Your background must be far from ordinary. Why choose such an inconspicuous mode of travel?"
Yun Lintian answered casually. "I couldn't find a token."
Surprise flickered across Huang Ba's face. Yun Lintian's nonchalant response shattered his earlier assumption of an illustrious background. This unexpected revelation piqued Huang Ba's curiosity even further.
