The Grand Ceremony of Luo Tian (Seeking Collection, Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Tianxia Group, inside the training grounds.

"Boom boom boom!"

After being pummeled relentlessly for over ten seconds, Feng Shayan collapsed onto the ground, the towering Treant dissipating into dust.

Looking at Wang Changle, who was cowering in the corner with his arms crossed, Feng Shayan felt both annoyed and amused. This guy was truly despicable!

"I'm not fighting anymore, get up. You passed the assessment."

Feng Shayan said resentfully, then withdrew the Qi protecting her.

"Really? I don't believe you. Are you trying to trick me out so you can punch me again? I'm not coming out, go ahead and hit me!"

He shrunk back into the corner, fiercely protecting his head.

There wasn't even a system notification for completing the main quest. Anyone with a brain knew he hadn't passed. This guy must be holding a grudge and wants to punch me!

"You, you, I, Feng Shayan, say you passed, so you passed! Just you wait, I'll make an announcement right now!"

Feng Shayan glared at the iron-clad figure huddled in the corner, her chest heaving.

For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. This guy wasn't just despicable, he was also cunning.

He had figured out her intentions so quickly, but if he kept hiding like this, she couldn't hit his head, and she couldn't hit him at all. She couldn't pass through walls, after all.

Feng Shayan took out her phone, tapped it, and sent out an announcement for the Tianxia Association. The Paradise notification immediately sounded.

[Reputation points can also be used to purchase items within the Tianxia Association or exchange for cultivation techniques.]

After reviewing the Paradise information, he couldn't help but sigh. An open-ended quest reward, huh? This is a bit troublesome!

With 28 days for the quest, he could definitely work some things out. And this cultivation technique... he'd have to think about it carefully. Preferably, he'd find a passive one.

"Here, I've already posted the announcement. You're one of our executives now. You can come out, Mr. Ode!"

Feng Shayan held up her phone, her voice relaxed as she directed it towards Wang Changle's location.

"Thump thump thump~"

"Call of Nature"

Wang Changle lowered his arms at the sound. A 3-meter-tall Treant suddenly appeared before him. Feng Shayan, using a flash-step, rushed right in front of him, her three heavy punches landing squarely on the Treant.

Having depleted his magic points, he felt his vision blur and immediately slumped to the ground. He took out a [Moonlight Rose] from his spatial storage and chugged it down.

"Miss, are you satisfied now? If I had intervened when you were trapped, you might not have the strength to hit me right now!"

He leaned against the wall to stand up, glancing at the Treant shattered on the ground. Feng Shayan was indeed powerful.

"Hmph, I just wanted to test your reaction speed. You... can you also disguise yourself?"

Feng Shayan looked at the delicate young man emerging from behind the Treant, disbelief coloring her expression.

"It's just a disguise technique, Miss. I'm already an executive of the Tianxia Association now. May I ask if you have any quests for me?"

Wang Changle said, peeling off the Human-faced Rose and gesturing towards Feng Shayan.

Looking at the human-skin mask in the young man's hand, Feng Shayan was genuinely surprised.

This person in front of her not only had outstanding defense, could "forge artifacts," and possessed considerable knowledge, but also had this plant manipulation ability.

And now he could "disguise" himself? When did the Otherworldly Person community produce such a young prodigy?

This person was both alert and slippery in combat, but upon obtaining executive status, he didn't immediately discuss salary or benefits. Instead, he asked about how to get quests. He certainly knew how to handle himself.

"Since you're being so sensible, I'll tell you about the benefits of the Tianxia Association first!"

Under Feng Shayan's introduction, he gained a more in-depth understanding of the Tianxia Association.

And through this understanding, he realized that choosing the Tianxia Association as his faction was indeed the right decision.

The Tianxia Association widely accepted Otherworldly Persons from all over the world. As long as they weren't convicted felons or Quanxing deviants, the Tianxia Association would take them in.

Furthermore, the Tianxia Association valued quality over quantity, and their welfare and benefits were quite good.

Although it is a civilian organization, it has the recognition of official institutions externally and the backing of major capital internally. It is a major force with a positive image, and President Feng is one of the Ten Elders of the Otherworldly Persons.

The cadres are divided into two types: one is the dispatched type, used to handle the affairs of "Tianxia Association" with Otherworldly Persons in various places, serving as a local representative.

The other is the resident cadre, who usually defends against invasions within Tianxia Group. Like the three people from before, they are generally used to handle matters around the headquarters.

In addition to guarding Tianxia Group, where one receives a fixed 500 reputation points each month, there are reputation rewards for expelling strong enemies, which vary depending on the enemy.

Finally, there is killing Quanxing, contributing cultivation methods, or completing some gang missions.

"If you can help me forge a piece of equipment, I can give you a good amount of contribution points!"

Feng Shayan looked at Wang Changle with her beautiful eyes. If she had a suitable weapon, she could definitely beat Feng Baobao to death next time she found her!

In the current circle of Otherworldly Persons, artifact refiners are extremely rare. Even their Tianxia Association only has one, and he doesn't refine often!

Now she had encountered someone who was suspected to be good at "artifact refining," and he was also her subordinate. She happened to need a Magic Tool!

[Branch Quest Triggered: Feng Shayan's Battle]

Difficulty Level: LV5

Quest Summary: Feng Shayan desperately wants to defeat Feng Baobao.

Quest Information: Tailor a suitable weapon for Feng Shayan.

Quest Deadline: 7 days

Quest Penalty: Expulsion from 'Tianxia Association'.

Quest Reward: 1000 Reputation Points.

After reading the triggered branch quest, Wang Changle gave a wry smile. It was clearly another test.

A test to see if he could really refine artifacts, as he hadn't shown his true skills in artifact refining.

After agreeing to Feng Shayan, he immediately chose the identity of a dispatched cadre. After all, Tianxia Group was about to face the baptism of Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan.

The chosen ones of two worlds. If he couldn't beat them, he probably couldn't outsmart them either.

It would be better to avoid them, lest he gain nothing and end up in trouble.

As for artifact refining, although he couldn't do it himself, as long as he found people with special abilities, obtained their characteristic cards, and then attached them, he might be able to complete the mission!

To complete Feng Shayan's mission, he needed to kill people, and they had to be people with special abilities.

In the world of Under One Person, the best targets were Quanxing Otherworldly Persons.

Most Quanxing Otherworldly Persons in this world were unrestrained by laws and not accepted by the public, so killing them wouldn't cause much trouble.

Suddenly, he received a message on his phone from Feng Shayan.

"I heard you were looking for Quanxing Otherworldly Persons! You can check out this location."

Opening WeChat, the picture showed a factory, but the address was a small town.

"Thanks~"

"Master, let's go to this place first."

On the West Outer Ring Road, Wang Changle was in the Tianxia Association's database, searching for information on Quanxing Otherworldly Persons.

Suddenly, the Paradise notification sound rang out.

[Violator Contracted Person No. 534178 detected, automatic pursuit initiated, target is 900 meters away from you.]

[Target is directly in front of you, distance 800...600...500 meters.]

Wang Changle instantly locked onto the speeding Hummer in front of him, and the notification sound grew closer.

But the Hummer passed by him. Just as he was about to activate his skill, the notification sound changed.

[Target is 150 meters behind you to the right...800 meters...990 meters.]

Looking around, he couldn't find any vehicles. The notification kept getting further away. Wang Changle suddenly thought of something.

"Master, is there another road below us?"

"Yeah, that's an underground tunnel. It leads to the highway. You want to get on the highway? You'll have to take a detour."

"No, uh, I wanted to ask where that highway goes, approximately?"

"It's the Jinshang Expressway. It can go to many places, young man."

Knowing he couldn't catch up, he immediately gave up on asking further questions and told his master to continue on the original plan to the small town.

But if the other party was roaming the country, his chances of catching them would be slim to none.

All the way, he was thinking about how to quickly find Quanxing and kill the violator.

A few hours later, the car stopped at the entrance of a town with a strong industrial atmosphere.

Wang Changle wandered around the town. He noticed it was a town with concentrated industrialization. The streets were mostly filled with construction workers or factory workers.

As he walked, he stopped at a roadside stall called "Chunlin Barbecue" because he saw a familiar figure there – Liao Tietou!
