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

Dozens of eyes were scanning back and forth between Lu Changming and Shen Tian.

Zhao Kuang's Adam's apple bobbed heavily.

The guards next to him were even holding their breath.

What is this?

This is essentially forcibly placing the position of the next head of Tianyun Prefecture into Shen Tian's pocket.

"General Shen has finally reached the top."

"Who could refuse this? No matter how powerful Master Guhe is, or how renowned Principal Yan is, can they compare to the position of the Prefectural Lord, who commands a large army?"

The presidents of several chambers of commerce in the back row lowered their voices, their tone full of sour grapes and awe.

Everyone thought the outcome was already decided.

The tripartite balance of power was shattered by Lu Changming's powerful blow.

Shen Tian did not respond immediately.

His gaze swept over Lu Changming's impassive face, then glanced at Yan Jinghan, who was standing taut on the left, before finally settling on Gu He, who was breathing heavily on the right.

Choose only Lu Changming?

He gained the title, but lost the high-quality recruits from Wuhan University and the assembly line of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau, so his "Slaughter Commander" talent became an empty shell.

He led a three-thousand-strong demon-suppressing army, relying on himself to recruit men and forge weapons one by one in the wilderness.

The efficiency is too low.

He needs a complete war machine.

"call."

Shen Tian slowly stood up.

There was neither the ecstatic joy I had imagined, nor the helplessness I felt.

His expression was as calm as a stagnant pool of water.

He first bowed slightly to Lu Changming on the high platform, and then cupped his hands to Yan Jinghan and Gu He respectively.

His manners were impeccable, and there was not a single fault with them.

"The Lord of the Lu family is very kind to him, Principal Yan is very supportive, and the elders value him highly."

Shen Tian's voice wasn't loud, but in the quiet circular venue, it cut through the stagnant air.

"What the seniors have given us is the best of Tianyun Prefecture's possessions."

Longyuan Martial Arts University is the most advanced incubator for combat power in the entire Tianyun Prefecture.

The head of the Heavenly Fortune Prefecture's personal guards is the highest military command that can legally and compliantly mobilize all military and political resources.

Taking one down only quenches the thirst temporarily.

To build a truly powerful demon-suppressing army capable of sweeping across the wilderness, these three territories are indispensable.

"The kid is only seventeen."

"Taking on any one of these projects would be like achieving instant success."

Lu Changming did not move, but his deep eyes were fixed on Shen Tian.

Guhe snorted coldly, his expression softening slightly.

Yan Jinghan nodded slightly.

Just when everyone thought Shen Tian was about to make a choice.

Shen Tian's tone changed.

"If I absolutely have to choose."

Shen Tian maintained the posture of clasped hands, his back straight.

"You dare to be so bold, young man."

"Please grant my request, esteemed seniors."

"Give me all the things you've mentioned."

Qin Zhenshan was sitting in the second row, and the teacup he was holding visibly wobbled.

He had indeed guessed that this kid would be as greedy as he was in Jiangcheng, after all, this kid had swallowed up two pieces of fat meat, Po Jun Si and Tan Lang, in one gulp.

But when he actually said it in front of the highest level of power in the entire Tianyun Prefecture, the combined visual and auditory impact still gave his heart a hard thud.

Chi Xiao sat down beside him, abruptly putting his legs down. He glanced at Qin Zhenshan and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, as expected of someone from Jiangcheng, they're really arrogant!"

Qin Zhenshan's eyelids twitched twice, but he didn't respond.

This level of competition is something that a single town garrison could not possibly get involved in.

This is Tianyun City, and sitting up there is a top-tier tycoon who can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people with a single word.

The two of them tacitly chose to keep quiet and did not speak up for Shen Tian.

Speaking at this time might actually do more harm than good.

The other town garrison commanders and financial representatives in the meeting room didn't even dare to breathe loudly at this moment.

Zhao Kuang stared blankly at the figure below the stage, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

Is this guy seventeen?

He used the most polite language to say the most arrogant things!

The head of the Tianyun Prefecture's personal guards represents the highest official authority.

The Vice President of Longyuan Martial Arts University represents the nation's top talent pool and knowledge base.

The Director of the Imperial Crafts Bureau holds the reins of the arms trade.

Any one of these three companies could dominate Tianyun City.

Shen Tian wants to take all three sides?

This is no longer youthful arrogance; this is an attempt to overturn the very foundations of Tianyun Prefecture.

Do they really think these three parties are like cabbages at a market, something you can just take away?

The atmosphere on the platform plummeted to freezing the moment Shen Tian uttered those words.

Yan Jinghan was the first to change his expression.

This seventh-level grandmaster, who usually cultivated his character and temperament, had a trace of his vital energy leaking out uncontrollably, making the guards in the front row feel a tightness in their chests.

He was assessing the significance of Shen Tian's statement.

The honorary vice-principal of Longyuan Martial Arts University is indeed the limit of sincerity that can be offered.

This was a compromise based on Shen Tian's demonstrated combat skills and talent in swordsmanship.

However, if Shen Tian simultaneously holds the titles of both the Heavenly Crafts Bureau and the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, things will take a different turn.

Why should Wuhan University's resource library be open to someone who holds multiple positions and has scattered attention?

You're using Wuhan University's top-tier resources to feed your own private army?

Yan Jinghan felt that Shen Tian's appetite was too big, so big that he couldn't distinguish between what was important and what was not.

Even Gu He, who had previously been completely in awe of Shen Tian, ​​couldn't help but let out a muffled groan to show his attitude.

Weapon forging is a craft that requires extreme concentration.

Even if Shen Tian possesses that terrifying void refining technique and the golden spiritual fire, he would still need to expend a great deal of effort to familiarize himself with the production line and coordinate materials if he wanted to control the entire Tianyun Prefecture's arms supply chain.

Shen Tian actually wanted to become the prefect's personal guard and take a temporary post at the Martial Arts University.

What is this? Are they treating Tiangongsi as their logistical warehouse for withdrawing funds and acquiring equipment?

Yan Jinghan spoke.

"It's not that we're stingy, it's just that you alone can't support these three brands."

"Being in a high position is like walking on thin ice. Each of these three positions requires your utmost dedication."

"You want to consolidate all the top-tier resources of Tianyun Prefecture into your own hands?"

"Don't even mention that you're only seventeen. Even I and old man Guhe wouldn't dare to have such thoughts."

The bigwigs put pressure on him face-to-face.

All eyes were on the boy in black.

Lu Changming, sitting in the main seat, did not try to smooth things over.

He also wanted to see what gave Shen Tian the confidence to say such things in this setting.

Although this seventh-level grandmaster was not angry, his instinctive rejection as a superior was enough to break the bones of an ordinary martial artist.

Despite the oppressive atmosphere, Shen Tian didn't even change his breathing rate.

These three bigwigs are actually the chairmen of three giant companies.

He, a contract employee who doesn't even want a base salary, is asking to take over their core business. Why should he?

Yan Jinghan feared that he might use Wuhan University's resources to satisfy his own desires.

Guhe feared that he might be turning the Tiangong Division into his personal blacksmith shop.

Lu Changming was assessing the value of his sword, wondering if it was worth risking the entire Tianyun Prefecture's resources.

If the chain of interests isn't welded shut, no matter how much you boast today, you won't be able to take a single soldier away from here.

Shen Tian straightened up and spoke, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I, Shen Tian, ​​do not believe that I am yet capable of earning the absolute trust of you seniors."

All I can do is make a promise to you all.
