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

"Master Shen! Please wait! Please wait!"

Shouts came from behind.

Shen Tian stopped and looked back.

A burly man with a towering frame and a face full of scars was seen striding towards them like a bulldozer.

With each step, the ground trembled.

It is Lei Wanshan.

This dignified sixth-level expert was a figure who could make anyone tremble in Fengcheng with a single stomp of his foot.

At this moment, however, he ran without any regard for his image, and the expression on his face was absolutely priceless.

Half of it was anxiety, and half of it was humility.

If Fengcheng's subordinates saw this, their jaws would probably drop to the floor in shock.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone indifferent.

"Is there something you need?"

Lei Wanshan rushed up to Shen Tian and stopped abruptly with the brakes.

The force of the wind caused Shen Tian's clothes to flutter loudly.

"Huff... huff..."

Lei Wanshan took a couple of deep breaths, not from exhaustion, but from anxiety.

He glanced at Zhou Xuan, who stood beside Shen Tian like a bodyguard, and then at the Tiangongsi gate, which was not yet fully closed.

"Master Shen!"

Lei Wanshan rubbed his large, fan-like hands together, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Um... I'm a rough person, I'm not good with words, so I'll just say it straight."

"I need your help!"

Shen Tian's "Void Refining" technique just now really shocked him.

This is definitely the future leader of the Dragon Kingdom's weapon-making division!

That's right.

Lei Wanshan took a deep breath and pointed to the giant horse-slaying sword he was carrying on his back.

"This knife of mine is also S-grade. It's my old partner, it's been with me for over ten years."

"But... as you know, although S-class weapons are powerful, they are still somewhat inadequate when facing a real beast tide, especially those high-level alien beasts."

At this point, Lei Wanshan's eyes dimmed slightly.

Just now, he was kicked out by that stubborn old man, Guhe.

But the current situation no longer allows him to linger in Tianyun City.

"Master Shen, to be honest..."

Lei Wanshan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"I am the Greedy Wolf of Wind City."

"Things haven't been peaceful in Fengcheng lately."

"I don't know why, but recently the strange beasts in the wilderness seem to have gone mad. Not only have their numbers increased dramatically, but they are also extremely aggressive."

"According to the reconnaissance soldiers, the situation this time may be different from before."

Lei Wanshan's voice became somewhat low, revealing a deep weariness and worry.

"In order to defend Wind City, and for the sake of its people, I must increase my strength."

"Even a slight increase in the chances of winning would be great!"

Lei Wanshan raised his head, his large, round eyes filled with hope and pleading.

"I know that upgrading a spirit weapon requires a huge amount of mental energy, and I shouldn't have brought it up."

"But I really have no other choice."

"As long as Master Shen is willing to help, you can name your terms!"

"I may not be as wealthy as Inspector Zhou, but my life, Lei Wanshan's life, is yours to command with just one word!"

His words were sincere and heartfelt, deeply moving.

Zhou Xuan, who was standing nearby, nodded in agreement in his heart.

Although Lei Laohu is usually carefree, he is a real man when it matters.

however.

Shen Tian's focus, however, was completely off-target.

He only heard two keywords.

Beast tide.

Something doesn't seem right.

Shen Tian's previously indifferent eyes instantly lit up.

What does a beast tide mean?

It means an overwhelming number of strange beasts.

It means an endless amount of killing power!

He had just spent a fortune to upgrade [Heavenly Sin], squandering all 40,000 kill points he had painstakingly accumulated.

I'm currently worried about where to recoup my losses.

As a result, someone brings you a pillow when you're sleepy?

Wonderful!

It's like Bulbasaur eating Doritos and entering Mickey Mouse Clubhouse—it's absolutely amazing!

"Master Shen?"

Seeing that Shen Tian remained silent for a long time, Lei Wanshan's heart pounded with anxiety.

It’s over.

Is this a refusal?

Also.

What is their status?

A peerless genius who has just forged a top-grade spiritual weapon!

How could I possibly care about such a meager reward?

Moreover, having just finished forging one, his mental energy must have been greatly depleted. How could he possibly risk his life for an outsider like himself?

The light in Lei Wanshan's eyes gradually faded.

He gave a wry smile, preparing to say something polite to save face.

"OK."

A crisp sound suddenly rang out.

Lei Wanshan was taken aback.

"Wh...what?"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Shen Tian looked at him, a warm smile playing on his lips.

I said, "Okay."

"I'll help you with this."

Since we're going to grind monsters and level up, what's wrong with helping out a little?

With the help of the "Weapon Forging Secrets" and the system, upgrading a spirit weapon is just a matter of moving a finger.

not to mention.

Happiness came too suddenly.

Lei Wanshan was completely stunned.

He stared at Shen Tian with his mouth agape, his mind completely blank.

You agreed?

You agreed just like that?

They didn't even ask the price?

"Master Shen... are you serious?"

Lei Wanshan's voice trembled; he was so excited he didn't know what to do.

"What kind of payment do you need? As long as I can afford it."

"No problem, no problem."

Shen Tian waved his hand, interrupting him directly.

"There's no time to lose."

"Let's go now."

"what?"

This time, not only Lei Wanshan, but even Zhou Xuan next to him was stunned.

"Where...where to?"

Lei Wanshan asked, dumbfounded.

"Windy City."

Shen Tian said matter-of-factly:

"Didn't you say the beast tide was coming? Saving lives is urgent, how can we delay something like this?"

"Oh, this..."

Lei Wanshan was completely bewildered.

No.

He meant that they should upgrade their weapons in Tianyun City, or right here at Tiangongsi, before leaving.

What are we going to Fengcheng for?

That's the front line!

Why take a "national treasure" weaponsmith like Shen Tian to such a dangerous place?

Lei Wanshan felt as if a knife was hanging over his neck.

If Shen Tian gets into trouble in Fengcheng.

Master Guhe must have torn him to pieces!

Wouldn't the entire Tianyun Prefecture's high-ranking officials hang Lei Wanshan at the city gate as a public spectacle?

This is hardly bringing back a savior.

This is clearly bringing back a living ancestor!

"No, no, no! This won't do!"

Lei Wanshan shook his head vigorously, his face trembling with pain.

"Master Shen, you may not have understood."

"Wind City is in danger! Extremely dangerous!"

"That place is a dead zone surrounded by strange beasts! You are of noble birth, how can you go to such a place?"

"If anything were to happen to you, I would be held responsible even if I died a thousand deaths!"

Lei Wanshan was sweating profusely with anxiety.

He looked at Zhou Xuan beside him for help, making exaggerated facial expressions.

Inspector Zhou!

Say something!

This is the person you brought back. You don't want to watch him go to his death, do you?

Stop him!

Tell him quickly about the brutality of the front lines!

however.

What drove Lei Wanshan to despair was...

Zhou Xuan received his signal, but did not speak up to dissuade him as he wished.

in contrast.

Zhou Xuan looked at Shen Tian's eager expression and his eyes became somewhat strange.

Ok.

Our rising star in the weapon-making division hasn't changed at all.

He's addicted to killing strange beasts.

"Cough cough."

Zhou Xuan cleared his throat, ignoring Lei Wanshan's almost tearful expression, and said calmly:

"Lord Lei, since Master Shen has such a sincere heart and wants to do his best for the country and the people, you shouldn't refuse."

"But……"

Lei Wanshan stared wide-eyed at Zhou Xuan, his face filled with disbelief.

Are you crazy?

Or are you trying to use someone else to do your dirty work, deliberately killing this genius?

"There's no 'but' about it."

Shen Tian was already getting impatient.

His mind was now filled with the beckoning of those moving kill points.

Every minute that is wasted could mean the loss of a beast to someone else.

That's a waste of his money!

Can this be tolerated?

"The front lines are still too dangerous. Perhaps you could reconsider...?"

Lei Wanshan didn't dare to speak too definitively, for fear of offending Shen Tian.

It's normal for a weaponsmith to have some quirks.

Especially a genius weapon-making master like Shen Tian.

What if they just prefer to forge in dangerous places?

"We can talk on the way."
