I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian spoke the truth.

Several people looked at each other.

What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?

"I only want to go to places with lots of strange beasts."

Shen Tian looked up at the distant sky, which was in the direction of Jiangcheng.

There.

That was his paradise.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

Shen Tian glanced at the system panel. The instant kill just now had earned him another batch of kill points, and he was in a pretty good mood.

"Let's talk about it another time."

Done.

Shen Tian didn't give the other party a chance to stay.

boom--!!!

The cyan wind element instantly surged.

The enormous wings of the wind god suddenly spread out behind him, with a wingspan of over twenty meters, each feather gleaming with a sharp, cold light.

The violent airflow instantly blew away the surrounding debris.

Before Gu Jian and the others could react...

"Thump!"

A muffled sonic boom.

A white shockwave exploded on the spot.

Shen Tian's figure had already transformed into a streak of light, instantly soaring into the clouds and disappearing at the edge of the sky.

Only four stunned young people remained on the ground, staring blankly at the long-lasting white trail in the sky, bewildered in the wind.

"No, how did he fly away?!"

Gu Jian swallowed hard.

Flying with one's own body is an ability that only a sixth-tier expert can master.

Furthermore, even a sixth-tier expert cannot fly as fast as Shen Tian.

"Is this... a true prodigy?"

Xia You murmured to herself, her eyes filled with a sense of wonder and adoration.

Compared to this kind of person.

These so-called "elites" are like flowers in a greenhouse, ridiculously pale.

"team leader……"

Chen Feng looked at Gu Jian with a wry smile:

"It seems the rankings on the Hidden Dragon List are about to be reshuffled."

Gu Jian took a deep breath and nodded.

He stared in the direction Shen Tian had disappeared, clenching his fist.

"After you get back, report this to the school immediately."

"This Shen Tian..."

"They will definitely be a terrifying force that will shake up the entire Dragon Kingdom in the future!"

Above the clouds.

Two cyan light wings, each twenty meters long, tore through the sky.

Shen Tian was like a shooting star going against the current, carving a white vacuum tunnel through the sky with an extremely domineering attitude.

The sound of the wind was left far behind him.

The feeling of flying at high speed is even more addictive than killing.

That's the taste of freedom.

"call……"

Shen Tian adjusted his breathing rhythm slightly.

After all, that was the first time he had tried to fuse the sword intent of the Peerless Sword Saint with his own internal energy in actual combat.

The results were surprisingly good.

It was so good that even he was a little surprised.

"Early stage of fifth rank, one-hit kill."

"System, view new talents."

Shen Tian had a thought.

The pale blue screen on my retina refreshed instantly.

[Talent Name: Earth Tyrant]

[Rank: Purple]

[Entry Description: You were crowned by the earth, the weight of mountains and rivers woven into your very being. From this day forward, you are no longer dust, but a walking mountain range, the master of gravity. Wherever you stand, that is forbidden territory. Want to make you bow? Only if this earth collapses first!]

[Gravity Prison: You can manipulate the gravity field within a 500-meter radius around yourself. The gravity multiplier can be adjusted freely between 0 and 50. This allows you to either render enemies immobile, instantly crushing them into a pulp, or to make yourself as light as a feather, leaping thousands of meters in a single bound.]

[Child of the Earth: Passive Effect. Whenever any part of your body touches the ground (including buildings connected to the ground), your stamina and aura recovery speed are increased by 500%. You also gain the "Immovable" attribute, becoming immune to all knockback and knock-up effects of the same or lower tier.]

Shen Tian looked at the lines of text.

An absolutely top-tier tank with crowd control talents.

Now that he has orange-level talents, Shen Tian is starting to look down on purple-level talents.

"Boom!"

At the edge of the sky, a sonic boom, like rolling thunder, grew louder as it approached.

The midday sun was torn apart by the clouds, and a streak of blue light, like a meteorite falling to earth, rushed straight towards the camp below the abandoned television tower with terrifying wind pressure.

"Enemy attack?!"

"Everyone on high alert! That oppressive feeling... it's a high-level alien beast!"

The soldiers of the Po Jun Si, who were clearing the battlefield, tensed up instantly.

The faces of the martial artists turned deathly pale.

That ball of cyan energy was like a falling sun, so dazzling that it made people want to cry.

As Shen Tian drew closer.

"Don't panic! That's the General!"

Ah Fei, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot Shen Tian and immediately let out an excited shout.

Upon hearing those two words, the camp, which had been filled with murderous intent just moments before, instantly erupted into chaos.

excited.

"The General is back!"

"I knew it! The three-headed beast king is nothing, the general can definitely take them down with one strike!"

Amid cheers, Shen Tian slowly descended.

The moment his toes touched the ground, the Garuda wings on his back turned into specks of blue light and dissipated into the air.

As the wind pressure dissipated, only that slender black figure remained, standing like a javelin atop the ruins.

"General!"

Ah Fei rushed over immediately, his eyes filled with affection even more than if he were seeing his own father.

Following closely behind were Lin Qingyi, Zhao Gang, and other squad leaders.

"Um."

Shen Tian glanced at everyone.

"How's the cleaning going?"

"Reporting to the General!"

Ah Fei stood at attention and saluted, his voice booming as if he had a subwoofer:

"After the recent beast tide, the density of alien beasts in the core area has decreased by eighty percent!"

"Currently, each team is conducting a thorough search, mainly targeting those low-level first and second-tier alien beasts that have escaped."

"We expect to complete a thorough cleanup of the area within a ten-kilometer radius before sunset today!"

When Afei said this, he puffed out his chest and his face was full of pride.

This is the heart of the occupied zone!

In the past, whenever human armies entered, they were always extremely cautious, afraid of alerting the Beast King.

Such a large-scale cleanup as today, even treating the strange beasts like garbage, is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Jiangcheng.

"Great job, everyone has worked hard."

Shen Tian praised him, his signature smile on his face.

Afei and Zhao Gang exchanged glances, feeling secretly pleased.

To receive a compliment from this gentleman is more gratifying than receiving a military medal.

after all.

This is a ruthless person who single-handedly killed three fifth-tier beast kings!

The sunset was like blood.

The dilapidated high-rise buildings cast long shadows in the dim light, like silent tombstones.

This place was once home to humankind.

It is bustling with traffic and lit up with countless lights.

But during the cataclysm a century ago, this place became a paradise for strange beasts and a forbidden zone for humans.

Shen Tian narrowed his eyes.

"We'll be staying here for the next few days."

"Until all the monsters in this occupied territory—"

Shen Tian paused, then made a horizontal slicing gesture in the air with his right hand:

"Kill them all."

"Leave not a single one."

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the boy standing atop the ruins.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, making his not-so-tall figure appear infinitely long, like a majestic monument.

I don't know who let out a heavy sigh first.

Immediately afterwards, the panting sound seemed to spread rapidly throughout the three thousand-person team, as if it were contagious.

That was excitement.

It is an explosion after being suppressed to the extreme.

Lin Qingyi's hand holding the battle sword trembled slightly.

She raised her head, and her eyes, which were usually calm and composed, now seemed to be burning with two flames.

"General..."

"You mean...we want to completely take over this place?"

occupied.

The moment those two words were uttered, Lin Qingyi felt as if her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly: "You can understand it that way."

boom--!!!

This nod completely ignited the entire audience.

"We are recapturing lost territory...we are recapturing lost territory!"

Suddenly, one of the veterans in the crowd let out a shout.

Reggae, this towering man over two meters tall, actually had tears in his eyes at that moment.

He shakily pulled out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and tried to light it several times but failed.

"Damn it... I never thought I'd be able to do something this big in my life."

Reggae slammed the cigarette to the ground and stomped it out, his rugged face contorted with savage elation.

"When the strange beasts come, we block them; when they run away, we don't even dare to chase them too far."

"Who the hell could have imagined that one day we would be able to launch a counterattack against the occupied territories?"

"You want to exterminate these beasts?!"

These words resonated with everyone.

Since the catastrophe that began a century ago, humanity has been in a state of passive defense.

Although a sheer cliff was built and martial artists were brought in, the sense of humiliation of being "domesticated" remained etched into the bones of every passionate soldier.

To reclaim lost territory.

To restore human glory.

These eight characters are written on the first page of every textbook and engraved on the walls of every military camp.

But it's just writing.

Everyone knows how difficult that is.

The wilderness is endless, teeming with strange beasts, and the fifth-tier beast king is an insurmountable barrier.

But these past few days.

Shen Tian was like an unreasonable intruder who kicked open this door that had been closed for a hundred years.

He single-handedly fought his way through the beast horde.

Slaying a fifth-ranked enemy is like slaughtering a dog.

They even set up camp right under the old lair of the alien beasts—the former TV tower!

Now, he's going to lead everyone to wipe out all the strange beasts here!

This is hardly a mopping-up operation.

This is territorial expansion!

This is going to be a significant chapter in the history books of humankind!

"For Jiangcheng! For humanity!"
