Due to the fact that Cole highly valued Wang Zheng, Wang Zheng was busy handling a group of upper management personnel from the Ai Financial Group. At the same time, they even knew that Wang Zheng was the hidden major shareholder of KING company. KING company had been busy with a deeper level space project recently and had caused a shock in the scientific world. For a tech company, having some news was good. Coupled with its previous success, it was natural that they were under much attention. In the past, they were definitely lacking in investment. However, the investment aspect wasn't a problem at all now. In fact, even the Solar System Federation had the intention to invest too. The Ai Financial Group naturally wouldn't let this opportunity to stock up reserve technology slip away.
Everyone's attention was on Wang Zheng and Ai Hongming had become a supporting actor entirely. He knew a little himself about the distance between Xiaolu and him. Those people that he knew weren't in the same league as those people Ai Xiaolu knew.
Cai Yingmeng was also able to showcase himself well in front of his girlfriend.
When the banquet ended, the trial this time had truly become only in name and not in fact. The Ai Financial Group would naturally passionately and generously host everyone. Everyone had also lost their interests in training. There were also many classical places of attraction in the Hail Cloud Alliance which everyone couldn't miss. As for Cai Yingmeng, he also needed some personal time with his girlfriend to enhance their relationship. The thing about being in a relationship was that it should be grand and dynamic.
Most of the people had chosen the most famous Ice City. It was as gorgeous as the crystal palace in fairy tale. As for Wang Zheng, he had arrived at another landmark of the Hail Cloud Alliance at this moment - Tassomania. It was the most well-known snow mountain in Hail Cloud Alliance and had been considered by many to be the peak that a man should conquer.
With the current technology and mountaineering techniques, it would still be difficult for one to reach the peak of Tassomania. Only those who liked challenges would be here. Most of the people here were only here to have a look at it
The artificial scenery in the Ice City wasn't attractive to Wang Zheng at all. However this mountain really intrigued Wang Zheng. There was an abundance of Yuan Qi in that place.
At the bottom of the mountain, Wang Zheng had finished his preparations for trekking. He didn't need any modern equipment and having just food and a tent was sufficient for him. It was just that he had not expected Snow Li to follow him here..
"Snow, are you sure you want to come along?"
"What's the matter? Are you looking down on me!" Snow Li was enjoying the cold wind and placed Ke Ai into the hat. It stuck out its head from the hat and were looking and blinking its eyes at the faraway place. It then looked at the students that were standing at the bottom of the mountain that towered into the clouds. It seemed very happy and lively.
Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head helplessly."Let's go together then."
Snow Li revealed a sly smile and followed Wang Zheng. Ai Xiaolu had wanted to come along too initially. However she was the host after all and there were many things that needed her. Therefore, she couldn't be the lightbulb between Wang Zheng and Snow Li. Also, Xiaolu didn't want to compete with Snow Li in the end.
She was more rational and could tell that Wang Zheng's attention wasn't on relationships at the moment. This guy was like a ball of fire. However, he wasn't gentle now and getting close to him would be dangerous.
On this day, the weather on Tassomania was very good. There were also numerous people who liked trekking at the bottom of the mountain. Wang Zheng brought Snow Li and the ice beast together and started his journey.
The two of them didn't talk too much and were admiring the spectacular scenery of the snow mountain as they climbed.
Wang Zheng's Primordial Regression Technique was circulating in his body as he walked and he maintained a certain level of release of mental power.
Snow Li was curious. Wouldn't this be too exhausting?
Wang Zheng's method of training was a little different from others. Since playing a part in the birth of the ice beast, Snow Li seemed to achieve a different level of enlightenment. Her ability had also clearly increased and the most important thing was that she became more sensitive to her Ability X. If it was in the past, she definitely wouldn't be able to sense that Wang Zheng was maintaining the release of power as he walked.
This was simply too wasteful.
Climbing the mountain was a great severe test for the body and mind.
Wang Zheng wasn't here to be a pilgrim but to conquer!
With the stamina of the two of them, they quickly left those people who liked mountain climbing behind. Initially, Snow Li was still able to follow easily. However, gradually, Snow Li started to realise that Wang Zheng's speed had not decreased all along. Snow Li's competitive side started to come into play. She was someone from the Hail Cloud Alliance after all. It was especially so as her ability to adapt to the cold environment wouldn't be any worse than Wang Zheng.
In this way, the two of them headed towards the mountain that towered into the clouds and started to climb constantly. After 3 days, there were no longer anyone else around them.
Tassomania was considered the Heavenly Mountain of the Hail Cloud Alliance and was a blessed ground. There were quite a number of people that even worshipped this mountain. Also contributing to it was that this mountain's shape was really nice-looking. In today's time, famous mountain and major streams also had to depend on looks.
A quiet journey could truly cleanse one's mind and body. The others were getting more and more tired as they walked but Wang Zheng was really getting more and more energetic. The cold aura around him was getting colder and colder. Among the abilities that he controlled, "Ice" Ability was his foundation. It was only till today that he finally felt that he was starting to understand it.
Cold air no longer had any effect on him. After truly understanding about the Heart of Ice and he had mastered the will of the ice, the pain and damage from physical coldness had also disappeared. Wang Zheng had already understood the essence of this type of existence.
When he was in the ice field, he already had some enlightenment. It was a pity that a battle had disrupted this magical state. He believed that this mountain could allow him to regain such a feeling, therefore he had come. This had proven that his judgement was correct.
Wang Zheng did not take particular care for Snow Li. This stubborn girl had been following him all alone and didn't complain about it being tough or that she was tired. Snow Li could feel that as they climbed, Wang Zheng seemed to have some changes every day. As an Ability X user with rather good talents, Snow Li also felt that this was impossible.
At night, the two of them found a place to take shelter from the wind and set up their tents. The current professional tents were all semi-automated, rather convenient and easy to use and rather sturdy. Wang Zheng fell asleep quickly but Snow Li couldn't sleep. The Ice beast's condition was similar to Wang Zheng. Since arriving at Tassomania, it seemed to have been back home. In the day, it would still run and jump around and was abnormally lively. However once night had fallen, the little ice beast would fall back on its back and rest. This posture was rather open and bold.
Snow Li was feeling a little blurry. She would recall Wang Zheng's kiss from time to time... Although it was because of CPR at that time, she still felt that it was a kiss. Suddenly, she could feel her body heating up. Wang Zheng should have known about her feelings. It was just that the two of them didn't make it explicit. In this kind of matters, a girl's initiatives also had a limit. This was at least the case for her
Snow Li didn't know what Wang Zheng was thinking. A girl was more details oriented. She could feel that Wang Zheng had actually never put Aina behind. No matter if he was still in love with Aina or that Aina's matter had scarred him, this was an obstruction to Wang Zheng letting go of the thing bothering him.
Snow Li was really outstanding and was also confident. However, if anyone was to say she was more outstanding than the first princess of Aslan, she would probably be boasting. However Snow Li believed that there was one thing that Aina could not compared against her. That would be she was gentler and she could accompany Wang Zheng forever. This was something that Aina couldn't do.
After finding a reason of victory, Student Snow Li finally fell asleep happily. She was truly tired.
Lin Huiyin was burning with anxiety. She had received a piece of not so great news. The Hail Cloud Alliance had started their "attacks" on Wang Zheng!
Obviously, this wasn't about the pirate incident but about Snow Li. In fact, since the beginning, Lin Huiyin had felt that Wang Zheng and her cousin had not really broken up. The two of them were still connected by something. It was only because of the circumstances that they had to bury such feelings underground. Therefore, she had paid attention to Wang Zheng from various aspects.
However, the news from Lu Die wasn't great.
Lu Die was also a little puzzled that the Princess Highness would pay attention to such gossips. However, she still executed her mission without any reservations. The truth was Snow Li having feelings for Wang Zheng wasn't really news. After all, Snow Li was one of the few beauties in the Academy.
The two of them, a single man and a single woman, had actually gone to climb a snow mountain together... Huiyin was a little angry now. Should she tell her cousin about it?
The little princess was very angry.
However Wang Zheng wouldn't know about this anger. Even if he knew, he would probably laugh it off.
This mountain and this sky gave Wang Zheng endless power and desire to conquer. He wanted to stand at the peak of the mountain and looked down on the world.
Every single person who climbed the mountain probably had the same goal and looked forward to the moment when one was at the peak of the mountain.
However when it was day five, Snow Li had fallen sick. No one climbed the mountain in such a way. In today's time, those climbing the mountain would have the support of a professional team. No one would climb the mountain on their own. Moreover, they were relatively deep into the mountain.
Snow Li's illness wasn't too severe. She was a girl after all and would have a few days in a month where it would not be convenient. Also, climbing a mountain was truly taxing on one's stamina.
The ice beast was circling around Snow Li and was licking Snow Li with its small tongue constantly. It was also moaning.
The truth was the best option for Snow Li was to call for the emergency team to bring her back to the ground.
Snow Li didn't want to return. However she knew that she would only burden Wang Zheng if this went on.
Just when she was preparing to request to return, Wang Zheng only said a sentence."If you are willing, I can bring you up."
At this moment, Snow Li was at the verge of breaking into tears. However, she didn't cry and responded to Wang Zheng with the most dazzling smile.
The weather in Tassomania was rather capricious. Soon, snow started to fall from the sky. The closer they were to the peak, the lower the temperature got. Although he was carrying Snow Li and dragging the luggage, Wang Zheng's advancing speed was still very fast.
Snow Li stuck closely to the back of Wang Zheng. This was her most blessed moment. The snowflakes were so beautiful and even the chilling wind didn't feel as cold.
The little ice beast was still happily scouting the road ahead. It didn't have any worries as snow was its toy. In this place, everything was great for it.
The Primordial Regression Technique had gradually become an instinctive thing. Wang Zheng's mental strength had connected with the heaven and earth. This magical feeling had also affected Snow Li and even the little ice beast. They were 3 distinct bodies but as they advanced, they were just like a single entity. The wind and snow was longer obstructing them. It seemed that they were glamorous presents that were welcoming them.
Snow Li really hoped that she wasn't dreaming. She even hoped that they could continue climbing like this forever.
After 3 days, Snow Li's body had recovered. Under normal circumstances, her recovery wouldn't be that fast in such environment. However, Snow Li had really recovered. Moreover, her body condition also seemed to be really great. Perhaps that magical state had affected her.
The truth was at the beginning, Snow Li had not really intended to reach the peak of the mountain, In her eyes, this was impossible. However the peak of the mountain was just in front of her. Along the way, various obstacles weren't an issue for Wang Zheng at all. His use of his Ice and Wind Ability X had opened Snow Li's eyes. Applying Ability X in everyday tasks was truly a little wasteful. However, Snow Li also understood Wang Zheng's level in Ability X. He had a C rank Ability grade but he had the control of an Earth Grade master.
