Just like that, Fade and Yura collected a lot of valuable things along the way. Unknowingly, they soon arrived at the third level's restricted entrance.

As soon as the pair appeared, the small group of people at the entrance went on alert, their heads turning quickly to look at them.

However, once they realized that it was Fade, they immediately relaxed.

Halston was the first to walk over to the pair. A bright smile was on his face as he greeted, "Fade, you're here."

Fade smiled and replied, "You're still on the second level?"

Halston scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I wandered around the second level, but couldn't find anything good. I'm now trying to lift the restriction in order to enter the third level."

"However, this restriction on the second level here is a little difficult for me. Thus, it's taking me a while."

Upon hearing this, Fade nodded his head in understanding.

After all, Halston's strength was only at the advanced stage of the Heaven Level so he was still a certain distance away from the peak stage of the Heaven Level. Therefore, it was understandable that he could not break the restriction.

He then glanced at the others.

He found quite a few familiar faces among the crowd.

Baxter and Kelsey from Juetong Temple were there. Kelsey and Fade could be considered as old acquaintances so when they made eye contact, they both nodded their heads at each other in greeting.

Baxter's cheeks were plump and there was a smile on his face, which made him look very kind.

Although he was not acquainted with Fade, he too put his hands together and greeted him.

Algot from Tianwu Clan, whom Fade had met in the dining hall, was among the group of people as well.

When Algot noticed his arrival, he immediately quipped sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this the guy who was holding me back a while ago? Who would have thought that you would arrive on the second level. This is completely out of my expectations."

"Algot, you..." Halston wanted to stop him.

However, Fade stopped him and paid Algot no mind. Instead, he looked around to feel the martial essence in the air.

In spite of that, Algot only took Fade's attitude as him being guilty.

Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and sneered rudely, "What are you looking around for? Do you think you can enter the third level with your strength?"

"You're just a guy who only deserves to stay on the second level. Don't make a fool of yourself."

Fade looked at Algot calmly. "You're mocking me for being on the second level, but have you forgotten that you're here as well?"

"If you say that I've made a fool of myself, don't you think that you are making a fool of yourself too?"

Upon hearing what he said, Algot's face fell.

He snorted and immediately retorted, "Don't compare yourself with me. You don't deserve it."

"I'm on the second level now because I'm searching for treasure and I didn't want to leave yet. I can break through the restriction any time to enter the third level."

"You only stayed on the second level because of your strength. I am not like that, alright?"

"Treasure searching!" Fade said, "I see that you are empty-handed. What kind of treasure did you find?"

Algot replied, "You still want to explain yourself. I'll just show you the difference between us both."

After speaking, he retrieved an herb and a piece of ore from his hand before showing them to Fade proudly. "Take a look! These are the treasures I found." "Have you seen this before? Oh wait, my bad. A country bumpkin like you probably has never seen nor heard of it, right?"

"Now, let me explain to you. This herb is called the Seven Stars Blue Leaf. It is worth a lot... This ore is the Full Star Stone. It is a type of..."

Algot proudly introduced the two treasures in his hands to Fade in a boastful manner.

The other people surrounding them could not help praising him in admiration.

As for Fade, he merely looked at Algot with disinterest, feeling a little dumbfounded at the situation.

Yura's expression changed as well. She covered her dainty mouth as she was trying to hold back her laughter.

Finally, Algot was done with showing off.

Fade took hold of a bunch of herbs with his left hand and a pile of ores with his right hand. He then said to Algot, "The treasures you mentioned are these, right?"

Algot was immediately struck dumb as the entire place went silent.

Everyone looked at Fade with faces full of unfathomable shock, their mouths agape.

That was because the herbs and ores in Fade's hands were exactly the two treasures that Algot had just flaunted.

However, the difference was that Algot only had one piece of each. As for Fade, he had seven to eight pieces of that herb in his hand, and five to six pieces of the ore in the other.

Algot took a while to come to his senses. He looked at Fade, gulping audibly before asking, "You... Where did you get all that?"

"I found them where you found them," Fade lightly answered.

Immediately after, as if he had thought of something, he retrieved more herbs and ores before he said, "These were found on the second level just now, and these were found on the first level. They seemed not too bad so I decided to keep them. Who would have thought that they were actually worth so much!"

"You... You..."

At that moment, Algot was both furious and jealous. He felt like rushing forward so that he could snatch those treasures from Fade.

However, in front of such a crowd, he managed to suppress the desires in his heart.

At the same time, Fade had just put the items away after showing them off.

He then walked to Halston's side, before he took out an herb to hand it to Halston. "Halston, this is for you."

"Fade, I can't accept this. This herb is too valuable. I can't accept it." Halston immediately waved his hand in rejection.

Fade stuffed the herb into Halston's hand and said, "It's not that expensive. I still have more than a dozen of them in my bag. It's nothing. I noticed that you have some internal injuries so this herb can cure those wounds. That's why I'm giving them to you."

"Fade, I... Thank you so much. I-1..." Halston could not even finish his sentence as he was overwhelmed with emotions.

Fade patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't get emotional now. It would be embarrassing to cry in front of everyone here."

"By the way, you should immediately consume the herb now, so as to avoid people from stealing it," Fade said as he eyed the rest of the crowd, who were eyeing the herb covetingly.

Halston immediately understood what he meant. He immediately shoved the herb into his mouth without hesitation. He chewed the herb up, ignoring its bitter taste as he did so, before swallowing it. After consuming the herb, he looked at Fade once more. "Fade, are you going to enter the third floor?"

Fade replied lightly, "I'm in no rush. I still have to find something."

These words of his brought Algot and the rest of the crowd back to their senses.

Algot's expression changed before he snorted. He walked towards one of the pillars by the entrance. He then placed his palm onto it with a surge of positive energy and started to break the restriction.

As he had tried doing so a few times before, he had some experience. This round, the time used to break through was much shorter. Right as five minutes passed, an arched door appeared between the pillars
