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

The room fell silent as soon as those words were spoken.

Everyone looked at Zhou Xuan as if he were an alien.

Is this still the same Inspector Zhou who always had a smile on his face and never hesitated to accept gifts?

Is this a case of being possessed today?

Li Haoran's face flushed red and then turned pale. His hand, holding the jade box, froze in mid-air, unsure whether to accept it or hand it over.

"Uncle Zhou, please stop joking. There are no outsiders here."

Li Haoran stammered as he spoke.

"I am..."

Zhou Xuan didn't give him a chance to explain.

"Who's your Uncle Zhou? He calls plants things at work!"

Zhou Xuan faced the hundreds of sons of powerful and wealthy families, his face displaying an expression of righteousness.

He knew that now was the best time to establish rules.

"I'll tell you."

Zhou Xuan's gaze swept over every astonished face.

"No matter what your status is in Tianyun City, no matter who your father is."

"Once you're in Shen's guards, even if you're a dragon, you have to coil up; even if you're a tiger, you have to lie low!"

"Shen Qinwei said, we don't want useless people."

Zhou Xuan waved his hand.

"Now, everyone, line up!"

"This inspection team will select candidates in order!"

Hundreds of privileged children stared at each other in bewilderment.

They looked at Zhou Xuan, who stood on high, radiating the light of righteousness.

Zhou Xuan suddenly flicked his sleeve, his posture suggesting that he was born to be the embodiment of righteousness and integrity.

"I, Zhou Xuan, have served as an official for decades, remaining incorruptible throughout!"

"Don't even think about corrupting me!"

Even the Fengcheng garrison standing guard nearby couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xuan a few more times.

If they hadn't known that this inspector had even packed up two roast chickens from the canteen to take with him when he visited Fengcheng before, they would have almost believed it.

Not far away.

Shen Tian leaned against the hood of an armored vehicle, quietly watching the performance.

Zhang Yue and Lei Wanshan stood to the side, their expressions incredibly interesting.

"This old guy's skin is thick enough to withstand bullets."

Lei Wanshan rubbed his teeth.

"He didn't even blink when he said he was penniless."

Zhang Yue sneered.

"He's just trying to show his loyalty because Shen Qinwei is here."

"Normally, that pill would have been in his pocket by now."

Shen Tian's lips curled up slightly.

Of course he knew what kind of person Zhou Xuan was.

"Water that is too clear has no fish."

"As long as you have the ability, that's fine."

Shen Tian doesn't need his subordinates to be saints who are willing to die for their cause.

What he needs is someone who can get things done, knows how to get things done, and knows who to be mindful of when doing things.

"Let him do whatever he wants."

"I don't know much about these people. Only Lord Zhou knows their background. It's just right to let him select the talent."

This wave demonstrates the ability to recognize and utilize talent effectively.

At the same time, Zhou Xuan also demonstrated his abilities.

Zhou Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sharp as knives.

He walked to the front row of the line.

These young masters and ladies, who usually race cars, go to bars, and act arrogantly in Tianyun City, are now too afraid to even breathe loudly.

Zhou Xuan stopped in front of a young man wearing silver armor.

The young man held his head high and seemed very confident in himself.

"What's your name?"

"Reporting to Inspector Zhou, Wang Teng! The second son of the Wang family in Tianyun City!"

Zhou Xuan gave a cold laugh.

"A second-tier martial artist?"

"Yes! I just broke through two weeks ago!"

Zhou Xuan suddenly reached out and slapped Wang Teng on the shoulder.

Wang Teng's expression changed drastically, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.

The vital energy gathered in his body dissipated instantly, like a deflated balloon.

Zhou Xuan withdrew his hand and shook it off with a look of disgust.

"He forced his way to the third rank by consuming elixirs."

"His foundation is so weak that he's not even as good as a first-tier veteran in Fengcheng."

"Get out."

Wang Teng's face flushed red, and he still wanted to argue.

"Uncle Zhou, I..."

With just one look from Zhou Xuan, Wang Teng was so frightened that he scrambled out of the group.

Zhou Xuan continued walking down.

He approached a tall, stern-faced young man.

Seeing Zhou Xuan approaching, he quickly stood up straight.

"Young Master Zhao, how have you been?"

Zhou Xuan looked at him with a forced smile.

Zhao Mingyu chuckled twice.

"Inspector Zhou, you've worked hard."

"I'm not having a hard time, you're having a harder time."

Zhou Xuan walked around Zhao Mingyu once.

"His strength is quite good, a genuine peak of the second tier."

"It's a pity, his character is terrible."

Zhao Mingyu was stunned.

Zhou Xuan stopped walking, his voice echoing across the tarmac.

"Last month in Tianyun City's bar street, three civilians had their legs broken in an attempt to take a hostess."

"Last year during the family trial, in order to steal the limelight, I pushed my half-brother into a group of monsters."

"Although you did a very clean job, the Zhao family also spent a lot of money to help you suppress it."

"But it doesn't work for me."

Zhao Mingyu's face turned deathly pale instantly.

He never expected that Zhou Xuan knew so much about his background.

"Shen Qinwei's troops are the kind of soldiers who entrust their backs to their comrades."

"If we bring in a venomous snake like you, I'm afraid the soldiers on the front lines won't dare to close their eyes at night."

"Take your men and get out."

Zhao Mingyu gritted his teeth, turned and left without saying a word.

The entire room fell silent.

The remaining sons of the powerful and wealthy felt a cold sweat break out on their backs.

Is this still the same Inspector Zhou who used to be on friendly terms with their fathers at the dinner table?

At this moment, they truly realized how terrifying Zhou Xuan was.

They know their background inside and out!

No background check required at all!

far away.

Lei Wanshan was dumbfounded.

"Old Zhang, Zhou Xuan usually keeps a low profile, but his intelligence network is quite frightening."

Zhang Yue nodded in deep agreement.

"How could someone who has served as an inspector in Tianyun City for so many years be a good-for-nothing?"

"This old bastard used to pretend to be confused, but now that Guard Shen has given him the confidence, he's starting to pull the knife out."

Shen Tian remained leaning against the armored vehicle, his expression calm.

Zhou Xuan's performance was exactly what he expected.

The most terrifying thing about a politician who can navigate between various forces is not his fighting ability, but the information he possesses.

The selection process for Zhou Xuan is still ongoing.

"Your understanding is superficial; you are eliminated."

"You lack resolve and are eliminated."

……

When the three thousand soldiers of the Po Jun Division in Fengcheng learned that Zhang Zhenshou had brought Master Shen back, they hurriedly went downstairs to greet him.

When they saw what was happening before them, they were completely dumbfounded.

Thousands of eyes were fixed on the No. 1 helipad not far away.

An old soldier swallowed hard and nudged his comrade next to him with his elbow.

"Old Li, am I blind?"

"What are these young masters doing here?"

Old Li squinted, looking at the custom-made armor that gleamed in the sunlight.

"It can't be wrong."

"Look at the badges on those armors. The Zhao family, the Li family, the Wang family of Tianyun City... they're all top-tier financial groups and powerful figures."

"What are they doing here?"

Old Li also looked completely bewildered.

In their minds, the front line was always a place for ordinary, low-level martial artists who had no background or power and could only risk their lives for military merit.

How could those privileged children born with silver spoons in their mouths possibly come to such a godforsaken place?

What they found even more incomprehensible was the scene before them.

Zhou Xuan is still constantly being eliminated.

Why are they starting to phase out these products?

"That's insane."

"When did the front lines become so desirable?"

"These young masters and ladies are practically begging to come and die, and then they have to be picked and chosen?"
