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

Jiangcheng, headquarters of the Tian Shu Bureau.

The massive alloy gate slowly rose, and the black troop carrier drove into the underground parking garage.

I just got off the bus.

The logistics staff, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded the vehicles. Some were responsible for inspecting the vehicles, while others were responsible for moving the equipment.

The entire branch was still brightly lit, but the tense and chilling atmosphere in the air was noticeably less intense than before.

News of the beast tide receding has clearly already reached back.

Qin Zhenshan walked at the very front, his steps quick and powerful.

He stopped and turned to look at Shen Tian, ​​the "kind old father" smile still lingering on his face.

"Little Shen."

That "Xiao Shen" sounded so warm and natural.

Just hours earlier, this commander-in-chief had been furious about the collapse of the defense line.

"You must have had a tough journey."

Qin Zhenshan didn't put on airs; instead, he reached out and straightened Shen Tian's slightly crooked combat uniform collar.

This action left several high-ranking military officers passing by dumbfounded.

"Go home and get a good night's sleep tonight."

Shen Tian nodded, his expression calm.

"Understood, Commander Qin."

Qin Zhenshan looked at the humble and unassuming young man before him with satisfaction.

The more I look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.

If this level of combat power were any other young person, they would probably be strutting around with arrogance by now, and might already be demanding resources and luxury homes.

Look at Shen Tian.

Calm and composed.

This is the demeanor of a true strong person!

"Oh, right."

Qin Zhenshan seemed to remember something, and deliberately raised his voice, which echoed in the empty parking lot.

"Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, in Conference Room One, I will hold a company-wide commendation meeting for you."

"This is the honor you deserve."

After saying that, Qin Zhenshan patted Shen Tian's shoulder twice more before leading Chi Xiao and a group of high-ranking officials away in a grand procession.

Watching the departing figures of those big shots.

Reggae finally let out a long sigh of relief, and his straight back relaxed a little.

The invisible pressure from two peak fifth-tier experts was immense.

"call……"

Ah Fei slumped against the car door, completely losing his composure, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"That scared me to death."

"I didn't even dare to breathe loudly just now, for fear that Qin Yama would glare at me."

"Reggae said in a deep, muffled voice."

"That's because Commander Qin values ​​Shen Tian; what does that have to do with us?"

As he spoke, Reggae subconsciously took a step to the side, deliberately creating some distance between himself and Shen Tian.

Ah Fei too.

Although he was still complaining, his body language betrayed him. He stood there somewhat at a loss, his eyes darting around, unable to look Shen Tian in the eye.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Previously on the battlefield, everyone shared life and death, and in the heat of battle, they didn't have time to think too much.

Now we're back in this orderly base.

That enormous sense of disparity in their social status instantly felt like a wall standing between the three of them.

Who is Shen Tian?

That was a peerless prodigy who could chat and laugh with Chi Xiao and was cherished by Qin Zhenshan.

A ruthless individual who single-handedly hunted down twenty fourth-tier lords.

And what about them?

An ordinary soldier from the Po Jun Division, still struggling to survive on the edge of the beast tide.

This is class.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, strength is the highest class.

Lin Qingyi looked at this scene with a complicated expression.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something to ease the tension, but found herself at a loss for words.

Just then.

Shen Tian turned around, looked at the two clowns who wished they could bury their heads in the ground, and raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong?"

"Weren't you quite talkative in the car just now?"

"Are you mute now?"

Shen Tian walked up to Reggae and raised his hand—

Reggae instinctively tensed up.

Snapped.

Shen Tian gently patted Reggae's thick arm, even giving it a squeeze.

"No, wasn't the war all over?"

"Doesn't our team have a tradition of having a victory celebration banquet?"

Reggae was stunned.

A hint of surprise appeared on that face, which was as stiff as a rock.

"what?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'?"

Shen Tian then looked at A Fei, a half-smile on his face.

Ah Fei blinked his eyes and his mouth was slightly open.

"Brother Shen...you..."

Shen Tian put his hands in his pockets, his tone returning to its usual casualness.

"Alright, stop making that face like you've seen a ghost."

"Am I still Shen Tian? Did I go out and kill a bunch of people and come back with an extra head?"

"Let's go, I'll treat you if necessary."

"I'm starving."

After saying that, Shen Tian ignored the two people who were still in a daze and walked directly towards the elevator.

His back view was still thin.

He was just like an ordinary high school student who had just come home from school.

in situ.

Afei and Reggae exchanged a glance.

They both saw the relief and a hint of excitement in each other's eyes.

"Depend on!"

Ah Fei slapped his thigh suddenly, and his previous restraint vanished instantly.

"I knew it! Is Brother Shen that kind of person?"

"I told you Brother Shen is loyal and righteous!"

A憨厚 smile appeared on Reggae's big dark face as he scratched his head.

"hey-hey."

"Indeed, nothing has changed."

"Shen Tian is still the same Shen Tian."

For a moment just now, they were genuinely afraid that Shen Tian had changed.

They became arrogant and haughty, like the geniuses of those powerful families, looking down on their former teammates.

But Shen Tian did not.

That casual tone, that playful banter.

There wasn't a trace of affectation.

He genuinely still considers them friends and teammates.

This feeling warmed the hearts of these two men who had spent years struggling in the wilderness.

"What are you waiting for? Chase after them!"

Lin Qingyi looked at the two grinning fools and kicked A Fei in annoyance.

"Didn't you hear Shen Tian say he was hungry?"

"Hurry up and go to the cafeteria to see if they still have any braised pork hocks. Get him two!"

"Okay!"

Ah Fei let out a strange cry and happily chased after it.

"Brother Shen! Wait for me!"

"My treat for supper tonight! I know the cafeteria chef well, I'll have him cook something special for you!"

……

In the corridor leading to the accommodation area.

The lighting was somewhat dim.

It was already late at night, but because the beast tide had just receded, there were still many members of the Po Jun Division hurrying along the corridor.

As Shen Tian and his group walked by.

The once noisy corridor was now as if it had been muted.

Everyone stopped immediately, stood close to the wall, and paid their respects with an almost reverent gaze.

"That's Shen Tian..."

"Is it him? That ruthless guy who single-handedly cut through the beast horde?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! Didn't you see those two behind him? They're from the third squad."

"I'm so envious... to be on the same team as such a big shot."

"I heard he can kill even a fourth-tier lord with a single strike outside, that's terrifying."

Whispers reached my ears.

Previously, such gazes were reserved for Chi Xiao, or for renowned powerhouses like Lin Qingyi.

But today.

All these awe-inspiring, worshipful, and fanatical gazes were focused on Shen Tian alone.

Shen Tian's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

But Ah Fei, who was following behind him, stood up straighter than he had ever done in his life.

His head held high and chest out made it seem as if he were the one who had just fought his way through the beast tide.

That's what you call prestige!

This is a classic case of "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

Ah Fei has never been so glamorous in his life.

Before, when he walked down the street, who would recognize him?

What now?

Even the captain of that usually arrogant elite squad next door was nodding to him just now!

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

"Old Lei, look over there, isn't that that sissy from Team Five? He's usually so arrogant, but he actually bowed his head when he saw us!"

Afei leaned close to Shen Tian's ear, as excited as a magpie announcing good news.

Shen Tian glanced at the long-haired man in the corner who was looking down and dared not look this way, and smiled faintly.

"That's the added value that strength brings."

"Reggae said in a deep, muffled voice."

I remember yesterday morning.

When this young man first arrived, how did the people in the lobby laugh at him?

The mortal realm.

Go through the back door.

A fledgling brought here to be gilded.

How long has it been? Less than twenty-four hours.

The entire sky over the Jiangcheng Tian Shu Bureau has changed.

Those who once mocked Shen Tian probably don't even have the courage to stand in front of him and speak loudly now.

"This is what a true powerhouse is like..."

Reggae muttered something to himself.

Not only are they incredibly strong, but they are also capable of dominating an entire generation.

What's even more remarkable is this mindset.

Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night; but to remain true to one's original aspirations while holding a high position is even more commendable.

"team leader."

Reggae suddenly whispered to Lin Qingyi beside him.

"We've really struck gold this time."

"It's not because he's strong."

"It's because... he really is a good person."

Lin Qingyi looked at the back of the figure walking ahead, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

nice guy?

maybe.

But in her eyes, Shen Tian was more like a peerless sword that had not yet been fully drawn.

They are sharp and shrewd, yet they know how to conceal their talents.

He is a bloodthirsty demon when dealing with enemies.

He is a gentle and kind young man when it comes to his friends.

This extreme contrast is what makes him so fascinating.

Lin Qingyi brushed a stray hair behind her ear and quickened her pace.
