The knife is made of ordinary iron, crafted by the most common blacksmith. It is ordinary yet special. Ordinary in its material, special in its owner.

At the moment when Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng's swords were struck, Zhou Yang turned to look at Li Xunhuan beside him.

Among all the people around, Zhou Yang knew that Li Xunhuan, the Flying Knife of Little Li, had the fastest attack speed. Li Xunhuan's divine knife was unparalleled in the world, and every throw never missed!

How swift were Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng's attacks? Although they were less than a hundred meters away from the crowd, this distance could be covered in an instant. Zhou Yang really couldn't guess who else it could be.

Li Xunhuan's face was somewhat pale, and he seemed a bit dazed. His full-strength knife strike only made the two swords tilt slightly. They were the two most top-notch swordsmen he had ever seen.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Yang walked up and asked with concern.

"Cough, cough, cough... I'm fine." Li Xunhuan said casually, as if the illness troubling him was a trivial matter.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything more and turned to look at Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuxue standing quietly on the eaves.

"Good sword! Good sword!" Ye Gucheng remained silent for a long time before bursting into laughter. It was a joy from the heart; indeed, there were people in this world who could communicate with him.

"Good sword! Indeed, a good sword!" Ximen Chuxue praised, his ancient sword humming lightly.

"I'm leaving!" Ye Gucheng glanced at the tens of thousands of elite troops and palace experts gathered below, and said calmly. After knowing about the existence of other worlds, his heart had calmed down. However, since he had promised, he would see it through to the end.

Ximen Chuxue nodded lightly. He naturally knew where Ye Gucheng was going and didn't stop him, for even if he tried, he couldn't stop him. Moreover, he didn't want to stop him.

Ye Gucheng was his first friend in the art of the sword. He didn't want to lose him. He would also leave this world soon.

"Shop owner."

Ye Gucheng said calmly, then turned to look at the man in white beside him, his eyes showing a hint of interest. This man's knife was also very fast.

Ximen Chuxue leaped lightly, like a breeze brushing against a willow, landing under the eaves. His eyes revealed a hint of interest. He wondered if the man's knife could be faster than his sword.

Looking at the three men in white, Zhou Yang was speechless. Did lonely experts all like to wear white?

Like their sword and knife techniques, they were a blank slate, with no one to communicate with and no one to match them.

The three men looked at each other. They had elevated their martial arts to an art form. Ximen Chuxue's "Snow in the Wind" was not about snow but blood. Ye Gucheng's dance was not about the sword but life. Li Xunhuan's knife was a testament to his integrity and righteousness.

The onlookers were all mesmerized by the three men in white, feeling overshadowed by their presence.

Each of them was a legend.

The moon, like a jade plate, was setting on the eaves, gradually sinking. Everything was quiet.

Ye Gucheng lightly threw a secret manual over, said nothing, and followed behind Zhou Yang.

"Ding! Discovered the sword technique 'Feitian,' the top-level sword technique created by Ye Gucheng, the master of White Cloud City. Value: 1000 points."

Zhou Yang put the manual into the system space without a word. He naturally knew Ye Gucheng's request. He nodded lightly to Ximen Chuxue and Lu Xiaofeng, then instantly disappeared with everyone from the palace.

When Zhou Yang reappeared with everyone at the Multiverse Tower, the sky was gradually brightening, and the sun in the east was slowly rising. Although he hadn't slept all night, Zhou Yang was still energetic.

"Ye Gucheng, you can choose any room to stay in."

Zhou Yang said. The entire complex had dozens of villas, but Zhou Yang only used two. One was where he and Bulma lived, and the other was the Multiverse Tower. The rest were empty.

Ye Gucheng nodded lightly and quickly walked towards a secluded villa. He needed to digest the gains from his battle with Ximen Chuxue. This battle, where he had used his full strength, had pushed his sword technique to its limits. He felt that his realm in the art of the sword could advance another step.

Watching Ye Gucheng leave, Zhou Yang saw the others off and then picked up the box beside him, returning to his room.

Inside the box were resumes from various worlds, about five hundred in total. Although Zhou Yang had said they had three days to submit resumes, most of those who wanted to be plane agents had already submitted their resumes on the first day.

"System, categorize all the resumes by different planes." Zhou Yang thought. Many of the resumes had no clear markers. Some only mentioned their sect, the number of disciples, or their position in the government, making it impossible to determine which world they were from.

As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, the resumes instantly separated into nearly a hundred piles. Each pile wasn't large, with the smallest having only three resumes and the largest not exceeding ten.

Choosing the nearest pile, he opened a resume: "Huashan Sect, one of the Five Mountains, has a sword expert, Feng Qingyang, with a deep foundation..."

"Huashan Sect." Zhou Yang placed this resume aside. The Huashan Sect in the "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" plane was indeed a good choice. With Feng Qingyang's emergence and Yue Buqun's increased strength, they might even reclaim the leadership of the Five Mountains.

The next three or four resumes were from ordinary martial artists, which made Zhou Yang curious. Why hadn't Dongfang Bubai from the Sun Moon Holy Sect submitted a resume?

However, Zhou Yang didn't have the time to worry about Dongfang Bubai. After selecting the "Smiling, Proud Wanderer" plane, he picked up the next pile of resumes.

"Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, one of the Eight Allied Armies..." Zhou Yang smiled as he read the resume.

The "Bixue Jian" plane was a low-martial world, and choosing the most powerful emperor was the best option. In the following few resumes, Zhou Yang only glanced briefly, considering only if he found any hidden, unknown major bosses.

For planes like "Water Margin," "Romance of the Sui and Tang," and "The Legend of Yue Fei," Zhou Yang didn't consider them at all. If he found a resume from an emperor, he would place it at the top of his considerations.

For planes like "Bixue Jian," "Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain," and "Eleven Lang," where no emperor had submitted a resume, Zhou Yang naturally chose wealthy merchants or major sects.

For technology-based planes like "Resident Evil," "Anaconda," and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," Zhou Yang first chose government officials, followed by wealthy merchants. He also considered some special characters.

For example, the green anaconda in "Anaconda" was already Zhou Yang's chosen plane agent. The blood orchids in its territory were definitely rare medicinal herbs. Since he hadn't yet entered the world of xianxia and fantasy, their value hadn't been fully realized.

For the gorilla Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," Zhou Yang also considered him because gorillas were well-suited to forest environments and had intelligence. By sending them pictures of valuable herbs, they could collect them much faster than humans.

After about two to three hours, Zhou Yang had screened through all the resumes, leaving the ones that met his criteria.

After washing up, Zhou Yang entered the Multiverse Tower again. Breakfast was naturally prepared by Gao Yao. Since Gao Yao became an intern at the Multiverse Tower, Zhou Yang's meals were mostly prepared by him. As a former chef, Gao Yao's skills were top-notch.

He also sent a meal to Ye Gucheng, as even though he was highly skilled, he would still feel hungry if he didn't eat for a day.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Yang told Gao Yao and returned to the end of the Han Dynasty, bringing back an old man with white hair, a nervous and anxious expression, and drove towards the city.
