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

Whispers filled the room like a surging tide.

Everyone's gaze, like a spotlight, focused on the back of the boy in black.

Various emotions fermented in the air.

Gu Jian sat in his seat, feeling as if he were floating on clouds.

Although everyone is watching Shen Tian.

But in Gu Jian's heart, who is Shen Tian?

That's their future specially appointed instructor for the martial arts department!

He was the peerless genius that Gu Jian discovered with his discerning eye!

Rounding down, Gu Jian stole the limelight!

Gu Jian shifted his body restlessly.

His gaze landed precisely on Chu Feng, who was diagonally to his side.

At this moment, Chu Feng slumped in his seat as if his spine had been removed.

His eyes were fixed straight ahead.

The sharp uniform of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Bureau, when worn by him, somehow gave off the air of a stray dog.

Gu Jian laughed inwardly.

The opportunity is here.

This is the perfect opportunity to kick a dog when it's down!

Yesterday at the resource approval center, this guy had his chin sticking up higher than the ceiling!

If we don't get our revenge today, I'll change my mind about Gu Jian!

Gu Jian straightened his collar and adopted an arrogant posture.

He turned halfway to the side, bringing his head closer to Chu Feng's direction.

The two were already seated close together, and when Gu Jian peeked out, his voice clearly reached Chu Feng's ears.

Gu Jian's voice was very low, but the smugness in it was almost overflowing.

"Yo."

"Why does our genius Chu look so utterly hopeless?"

"Were you terrified?"

Gu Jian paused deliberately, his eyes scanning Chu Feng up and down.

"Weren't you quite talkative yesterday?"

"What? Seventeen years old, golden spiritual fire, perfect void weapon forging."

"What? Master Guhe wants to pass the director position to him?"

"They were exaggerating and making things sound incredibly convincing."

Gu Jian reached out and made a few gestures in mid-air.

Where are they?

"Where is your once-in-a-millennium genius?"

"How come we haven't seen a single soul at such a grand event today?"

"Could it be that he saw our martial arts department's swordsmanship master unleash his power, single-handedly defeating a sixth-tier beast king, and got so scared that he peed his pants under the covers?"

Gu Jian's words were barbed and piercing.

He thought Chu Feng was feeling inferior because his family's genius was not as good as the martial arts department.

But he had no idea what kind of storm was raging in Chu Feng's mind.

Chu Feng's eyes moved stiffly for a moment.

His gaze struggled to leave the back of the black-clad boy in the front row and landed on Gu Jian's smug face.

Looking at Gu Jian's smug face, Chu Feng felt as if his brainstem was being violently attacked.

An unprecedented sense of absurdity struck him like a heavy punch to the stomach, making him want to vomit.

Damn it.

These muscle-building idiots have no idea what gods they're worshipping!

The sword master you're talking about.

I just forged a top-grade spiritual weapon on the territory of the Heavenly Crafting Division yesterday!

These two people are the same person!

Chu Feng tried his best to suppress his emotions.

But Gu Jian clearly didn't realize that Chu Feng was on the verge of collapse.

Or rather, Gu Jian noticed it, but he became even more excited.

Gu Jian simply draped his entire arm over the back of the chair and continued to attack head-on.

"oops."

"Chu Feng, don't be too sad."

"After all, people from your Tiangong Division usually like to stay behind the blast doors and tinker around."

"It's normal that you haven't seen much of the world."

"You blacksmiths can't understand the unparalleled skill of cleaving through life and death with a single stroke and suppressing a massive beast tide with one hand."

Gu Jian deliberately dragged out his words.

"Go back and tell Master Guhe."

"Stop making up those nonsense stories about refining artifacts out of thin air to fool people."

"To avoid making a fool of myself in public."

"Tomorrow, our Vice Principal Yan will formally invite General Shen to Longyuan Martial Arts University."

"I'll personally hand out viewing tickets to you, so you can witness what a real miracle is!"

Gu Jian's last few words became the final steel bar that broke the camel's back.

Chu Feng's defenses have been breached!

Break through the defenses!

He suddenly jumped up from his chair.

Chu Feng swung his hand in a wide arc and slammed it onto the table!

"Bang!!!"

A loud, muffled thud exploded within the circular hall.

This is too much of a commotion.

It even drowned out the tsunami-like murmurs of the thousands of people in the audience.

Everyone's voice suddenly caught in their throats.

The entire ground floor hall of the Zhentian Tower.

A deathly silence fell, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Tens of thousands of gazes, as if drawn by a magnet, instantly converged on Chu Feng.

Chu Feng pointed at Gu Jian's nose and roared at the top of his lungs.

"Bullshit!!!"

Chu Feng's shout seemed to silence the entire ground floor hall of the Zhen Tian Tower.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on the young man in the uniform of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

This includes a group of bigwigs such as Lu Changming and Yan Jinghan.

Gu Jian wiped the spittle that had splashed onto his face.

His brain went blank for 0.5 seconds.

No?

Has this guy surnamed Chu gone mad?

I only gave you two pointers, and you broke through my defenses so easily?

This is a complete mental breakdown; they've even lost all sense of shame!

really!

This group of spiritual practitioners—their spirits are so fragile!

Gu Jian rubbed his hands on his clothes, not angry at all, but instead put on a compassionate expression.

"Chu Feng, what are you yelling about?"

Gu Jian put his hands in his pockets and leaned back.

"You've already broken through her defenses?"

Gu Jian's words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the gossip-loving spirit of the surrounding onlookers.

"Young people these days have such poor mental fortitude."

"They were treated like treasures in the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, and were treated with arrogance."

"Today I ran into a real tough guy and realized that my prized talent is nothing compared to him. My brain just short-circuited."

The owner of another chamber of commerce nodded in agreement.

"Please understand."

"If it were you, and you discovered that a young man a few years younger than yourself was a prodigy like General Shen, you would also be furious."

"What's that called again? 'Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?'"

These sarcastic voices pierced Chu Feng's ears like awls.

Chu Feng was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

He pointed at Gu Jian.

He wasn't jealous of Shen Tian at all!

He was so angry at how stupid these idiots were!

"he……"

Chu Feng pointed at Shen Tian.

Gu Jian felt extremely pleased to see Chu Feng stuttering like this.

"What do you mean, 'him'?"

"That's a sword master personally chosen by Vice Principal Yan Jinghan of our Longyuan Martial Arts University!"

Just when Chu Feng was at a loss for words.

Master Guhe slowly stood up.

But as he stood up, an invisible yet extremely concentrated mental force swept outwards.

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly.

Director of the Heavenly Works Department.

Furukawa.

This stubborn old man, who hadn't stepped out of the Tiangongsi gates for ten years, has not only come today.

And judging from this posture, they're going to protect their own.

"madness."

"Shen Tian is a genius that appears only once in ten thousand years in our weapon-forging lineage!"
