Harmonizing with the Great Transformation, a World of Blades (Fourth Update, Please Vote)

Li Xiuwen sensed something different in the air.

He suspected Heaven's Will might use Lin Xiasheng as bait, drawing in a whole crowd of Ever Joy's young talents before sending experts to reel them in.

Of course, he might have been overthinking it. That madman Tianyi Hao had never played by the rules. Either way, it paid to be careful.

Li Xiuwen made up his mind. Once Spring Hunt began, he would steer clear of Lin Xiasheng for the time being. He would watch first, then act.

He fell asleep and entered the Grand Void Illusory Realm.

Li Xiuwen began practicing with his blades.

[Cook Ding's True Interpretation proficiency increased by 1%...]

Now that Whale-Killing Fist had broken through, the most important martial art for hunting talents outside the Walled City was Cook Ding's True Interpretation.

Time flew.

The eve of Spring Hunt arrived. The Number One Heavenly Exam was not far off, and nearly every young talent had surfaced.

Hongfu District.

Xinye Building.

In an office on the thirtieth floor, a burly, short-haired man in a suit stood with his hands in his pockets before a vast floor-to-ceiling window.

A Cigar hung from his lips as he gazed down over Fragrant Sea.

He was the Ninth Young Master, one of Tianyi Hao's Adopted Sons and the head of Heaven's Will Ninth Branch Headquarters. Every Hall in Hongfu District was under his control.

He had also been the Thirteenth Young Master's superior.

Of course, they were equals now.

A knock came at the office door, and the bald Big Bi Zai walked in.

With his usual roguish air, he grinned. "Ninth Young Master, word about Lin Xiasheng is out. I bet Ever Joy's talents are itching to go. They all want to kill that fat sheep."
