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

The first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds in the early morning, but failed to dispel the faint sense of oppression hanging over Jiangcheng.

Shen Tian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and slowly withdrew the hand gestures from the completed "Breaking Army Saber Technique".

The air still retained the subtle airflow disturbances caused by the blade's cutting.

But the muscle memory brought about by that perfect state gave him a chilling sharpness in every move he made.

"Late stage of Tier 1".

Shen Tian clenched his fist, feeling the surging blood and qi within his body.

Furthermore, it is enhanced by the dual benefits of [Innate Blade Bones] and [Light and Agile Body].

Even without using his mental powers, his combat strength is now enough to crush martial artists of the same level.

"If this rate of improvement got out, it'd probably be dissected and studied, right?"

Shen Tian chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Overnight, he went straight from the Mortal Realm to the late stage of the first level, and also mastered a profound sword technique to perfection.

This is no longer a fantasy, it's a myth.

But he doesn't care.

In this era where strange beasts roam and human life is as worthless as grass, should we hide our talents?

Those are survival rules prepared for the weak.

The strong should show their strength, seize all resources, and reach the top as quickly as possible.

"system."

Shen Tian glanced at the tempting [Kill Value] function on the panel.

Only through killing can one become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can one live like a human being in this world.

"We can't delay any longer."

A glint of light flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.

Originally, Afei and Reggae suggested that he lay low for half a year before taking the exam.

But six months?

too long.

He couldn't wait even a day longer.

As long as you pass Wang Meng's test, you can go to the wilderness to hunt strange beasts.

That was his paradise, a treasure trove of countless walking experiences.

"Wang Meng may be a freak, but I'm not bad now either."

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Shen Tian casually grabbed the Po Jun Si's plain clothes from the table and put them on, then carefully hid the six "Dark Night" throwing knives close to his body.

Just as he opened the door, preparing to go directly to the fifth basement level to confront that "old monster,"

Ugh—!

A piercing alarm shattered the tranquility of the early morning without warning.

The sound was sharp and piercing, as if it had drilled directly into a person's brain and was stirring wildly.

Followed by.

The tactical watch on Shen Tian's wrist began to vibrate wildly, and the screen instantly turned a blinding blood red.

[Level 1 Combat Alert!]

[Level 1 Combat Alert!]

[Jiangcheng's northern defense line is hit by a massive beast tide!]

[All personnel currently employed by the Po Jun Division, immediately cancel your leave and assemble!]

[Repeating! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!]

Before Shen Tian could react...

Rumble!

The ground beneath my feet trembled slightly.

That was the sound of countless heavy armored vehicle engines roaring simultaneously, and the aftershocks of artillery fire from the distant defensive line.

The loudspeaker in the corridor suddenly blared, the mechanical female voice becoming urgent and cold:

"All combat personnel, assemble immediately at Building One Plaza!"

"Let's go now!"

Shen Tian's eyes narrowed.

Beast tide?

It's like my wish came true.

Without any hesitation, he turned and rushed towards the elevator.

……

One Building Plaza.

It has now become an ocean of steel torrents.

Countless troop carriers and armored vehicles were rapidly forming up, and members of the Po Jun Division, dressed in black combat uniforms, poured out of various buildings like a black tide, converging on the square.

There was no uproar, no panic.

Only the sound of synchronized footsteps could be heard.

The chilling atmosphere made the air seem to freeze.

This is the Po Jun Division.

The sharpest knife in the Dragon Kingdom.

As soon as Shen Tian rushed out of the building, he saw three familiar figures standing next to a heavy off-road vehicle with the number "03" printed on it, ready to go.

Lin Qingyi was dressed in a close-fitting uniform armor from the Po Jun Si, which outlined her breathtaking curves, but at this moment no one dared to look at her for more than a second.

She carried a long sword on her back, her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her pretty face was as cold as ice.

Reggae held a huge tower shield in his hand, his muscles taut, like a raging bear ready to devour its prey.

Even Ah Fei, who is usually carefree and irresponsible, put away his playful smile at this moment.

He was silently wiping the longbow in his hands, his eyes sharp and frightening.

"team leader!"

Shen Tian ran over quickly.

Lin Qingyi turned and glanced at him, speaking very quickly:

"Shen Tian, ​​you've come at the perfect time."

"This beast tide is very large. According to intelligence from the front lines, there are at least ten fourth-tier lord-level alien beasts leading the way, dozens of third-tier alien beasts, and countless first-tier and second-tier cannon fodder."

"There may even be higher-level beasts lurking in the shadows."

"We're going to support the northern defense line; that's the hardest-hit area."

After saying that, she opened the car door and was about to get in.

Shen Tian was about to follow.

A large hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Reggae.

The burly man shook his head, his voice low:

You can't go.

Shen Tian was taken aback:

"I am a member of the Po Jun Division."

"You're a newcomer."

Lin Qingyi turned around, her beautiful eyes fixed on Shen Tian, ​​her tone stern and unquestionable.

"You haven't passed the team entry test yet."

"That kind of meat grinder is not a place for lone wolves."

"Even if you're a psychic, even if you're incredibly talented, going there will only be suicide!"

Ah Fei also came over and, unusually seriously, patted Shen Tian on the shoulder:

"Brother, listen to the captain."

"This is not the small-scale battle we had when we killed that Wind Demon Wolf before."

"That was a real war."

"The monsters were so numerous that there was nowhere to put your feet; if you weren't careful, you would be trampled into mincemeat."

"You stay obediently in the back."

"Take advantage of our absence these few days to cultivate diligently and solidify our foundation."

"Wait until we get back, then you can take Wang Meng's test."

Lin Qingyi took a deep breath and softened her tone slightly:

"Shen Tian, ​​this is an order."

"Your talent is a valuable asset to Po Jun Si. I don't want you to be ruined before you've even grown up because of a moment of passion."

"Take good care of your home."

Done.

Lin Qingyi stopped wasting words and jumped into the off-road vehicle decisively.

boom!

The engine roared.

The heavy off-road vehicle, like a steel beast, kicked up a cloud of dust and merged into the rolling traffic, speeding towards the smoke-filled north.

Shen Tian stood there, staring blankly at the departing convoy.

They're... gone?

Did they leave him alone?

The surrounding noise gradually faded away, the main force had already set off, and only a few logistics personnel remained on the square, busily moving supplies.

Shen Tian slowly withdrew his gaze.

A strange smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"Sending them to their deaths?"

"No……"

"That's just giving away experience points."

Lin Qingyi's concerns were not unfounded.

For ordinary newcomers, that kind of meat grinder is truly hell.

But for Shen Tian, ​​who possesses the system...

That was practically a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!

Tier 3 Lord? Tier 2 Beast Horde

How many kill points would that require?

The thought of his walking points being harvested by others made Shen Tian feel like his heart was bleeding.

Should we let him stay in the back and cultivate?

What a joke.

No amount of strenuous training can compare to leveling up by killing monsters.

As long as we can satisfy our cravings for this wave of beasts, reaching the second tier or even the third tier is not impossible!

At that time, Wang Meng and all the assessments will be shattered with a single punch!

"Captain Lin, I'm sorry."

"A general in the field may disobey some military orders."

Shen Tian glanced around.

The logistics staff were all busy moving boxes, and no one paid any attention to him.

He pulled his hat down low and turned to walk toward another exit of the parking lot.

There were several spare single-person motorcycles parked there.

As long as he slips away, he can use his mental powers to detect enemies and completely bypass the main force, cutting into the battlefield from the flank.

Fire one shot and move on to another.

Play it safe and stealthily, secretly stealing kills.

This plan is absolutely perfect.

Shen Tian became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his pace quickened involuntarily.

Just as his hand was about to touch the handlebars of the black motorcycle.

A voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Kid, where do you think you're going?"
