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

The air inside the circular venue seemed to have been sucked out.

Thousands of prominent figures held their breath, staring blankly at the black-clad youth below the stage.

No one questioned it anymore.

Everyone finally understood.

Why is Guhe, that stubborn old man who hasn't left the Tiangong Division in ten years and whose temper is as foul as a gutter stone, dressed in his most respectable formal attire and sitting in the front row today?

Why is Yan Jinghan, the second-in-command of Longyuan Martial Arts University, going head-to-head with Master Guhe today?

Why would they come here to attend some kind of performance review meeting?

These two large Buddha statues clearly sensed the divine descent and eagerly came over to snatch the incense offerings.

At this moment, Lu Changming on the stage slowly closed the thick stack of battle reports in front of him.

His palms were so sweaty that the paper was soaked through, but he was completely unaware of it.

original.

Lu Changming's mood was extremely heavy.

The beasts are mutating, and the borders of the Dragon Kingdom are like dikes being eaten away by ants.

Tianyun City is constantly facing the impending impact.

He felt as if a guillotine was hanging over his head.

But now.

He looked at Shen Tian's harmless face.

Just give this boy time.

Once he grows up, what is Tianyun City?

He will be the guardian pillar of the entire Dragon Kingdom, a peerless war god who can single-handedly safeguard the fate of the nation.

Lu Changming took a deep breath, his gaze becoming extremely profound.

"quiet."

Lu Changming spoke, but his voice was not loud.

The guards, who had been whispering amongst themselves, immediately straightened their backs and didn't dare to breathe.

"The performance review meeting continues."

Lu Changming scanned the entire room, his tone becoming extremely cold.

"The following rankings will determine the resource allocation for each city next year."

His gaze fell on the data manager of Tianxuan Division.

"Tianxuan Division".

"Based on the reported data, we will conduct the final calculation."

The usually stern and unsmiling manager walked onto the stage with slightly unsteady steps.

Zhao Kuang sat in his seat, his eyes fixed on the data comparison on the screen, his mouth full of bitterness.

The small victory that Yan Cheng was so proud of was like comparing a kindergarten's little red flower to an Olympic gold medal.

Several uninformed staff members were still whispering among themselves.

"Well... Fengcheng's achievements are mainly concentrated on slaying a sixth-tier beast emperor, so they are more valuable."

"That's not right, is it? Jiangcheng recovered 300 li of lost territory, that's territorial expansion, the significance is completely different."

The two sides argued fiercely, seemingly trying to determine who would win in the final rankings.

Just then.

Is there any point in arguing about these things?

Everyone was taken aback and looked at the other person.

"Isn't all the credit supposed to go to Shen Tian?!"

Yes, that makes sense!

Never before has such a ridiculous scene occurred at any performance review meeting!

The calculations finally stopped.

The head of the Tianxuan Division wiped away his sweat and read out the results in a trembling voice.

"Final approval has been granted."

"The annual performance evaluation rankings for the Acropolis have been released."

"Windy City and River City are tied for first place!"

"Among them, General Shen Tian's personal achievements account for more than 95% of the overall score of the two cities."

The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Tied for first place.

This is the first time in the decades-long history of Tianyun Prefecture.

But no one in the audience showed any sign of confusion.

More than 95% of the achievements accounted for.

This means that Shen Tian alone is equivalent to the combined elite forces of two garrison cities.

The third place goes to Zhao Kuang from Yancheng, but Zhao Kuang has lost his former "madness".

Zhao Kuang lowered his head, looking at his knees.

This third place is quite embarrassing, being overtaken by such a precipitous margin.

He no longer hoped for a spot in the "Kunlun Baptism".

Who can compete with Shen Tian for a spot?!

Zhao Kuang is a sensible man.

Having spent so many years in officialdom, he knows best what to do in situations like this.

"Brother Shen!"

Ignoring the surprised looks from his colleagues, Zhao Kuang rushed to Shen Tian in a flash.

His face was plastered with a fawning smile.

"General Shen is indeed a young hero; I admire him greatly!"

The town garrison commander and the chamber of commerce president, who were usually high and mighty, all realized what was happening.

This is a top-tier weapon-forging master at the age of seventeen!

This is a killing god who can single-handedly take on a mutated beast horde and slay a sixth-tier beast king!

"General Shen is truly a remarkable man! Jiangcheng is fortunate to have you!"

"Master Shen, our Wanhe Chamber of Commerce just shipped a batch of Meteor Tear Iron Essence back from Shenzhen. I'll send someone to deliver it to you in Jiangcheng tomorrow!"

"The younger generation is truly formidable! If General Shen needs someone to serve him tea and water, just ask!"

The flattery grew louder and louder.

The circular venue instantly transformed into a fan meeting scene.

Those who had previously looked down on Jiang Cheng now wished they could lick Shen Tian's shoes clean.

Despite the praise from the crowd, Shen Tian did not show the slightest arrogance.

He slowly stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to the people around him.

His movements were unhurried, displaying a composure beyond his years.

"You flatter me, seniors."

"Jiangcheng's achievements today are thanks to the sacrifices of Commander Qin and the soldiers on the front lines."

"I, Shen Tian, ​​merely happened to be there and did something insignificant."

"As for being called a master or not, I am unworthy of such a title."

Shen Tian's words were extremely well-said.

He both gave Qin Zhenshan face and positioned himself as a humble junior.

It even subtly expressed respect for the soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

This performance instantly brightened the eyes of the old guys who were initially somewhat wary of him.

"good!"

"Humble and composed, that's the true demeanor of a dragon!"

Yan Jinghan silently cheered in his heart.

His biggest worry was that Shen Tian would take advantage of his talent and act recklessly.

People like that won't go far.

But now it seems that the maturity of this boy's mind is so great that even he, a seventh-level martial artist, finds it terrifying.

Under Shen Tian's deliberate guidance, the atmosphere in the room became exceptionally harmonious.

"The rankings have been finalized."

"The next topic is resource allocation."

Upon hearing this, the heads of several conglomerates who had originally wanted to get closer to Shen Tian stopped in their tracks as if their feet were rooted to the ground.

They knew the real show was about to begin.

In the past, resource allocation was only a small-scale operation.

But the situation is different today.

All are not fools.

Who is Tianyun Prefecture's biggest "resource" right now?

It wasn't those medicines, nor that small amount of war damage compensation, but Shen Tian sitting there!

Shen Tian alone was able to bring Fengcheng, a place destined for certain death, back to life.

Shen Tian alone can mass-produce strategic-level spiritual weapons.

Wherever such talent is placed, that place becomes a dragon's lair.

The real game is about to begin!
