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

The dome of the conference hall looked as if it was about to be blown off.

On the platform, two terrifying auras clashed violently, like two ancient beasts locked in a fierce struggle.

Qin Zhenshan's face turned red and his neck thickened as he pointed at Chi Xiao's nose, spitting everywhere.

"Chixiao, you old bastard! The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Po Jun Division is a real power that countless people would kill for! It's the glory of guarding a region! And you actually call it a babysitter? You're insulting the entire organizational structure of the Tian Shu Bureau!"

Chi Xiao wasn't buying it at all. He placed one foot on the expensive solid wood conference table, his face full of thuggishness.

"What's the point of having a government job? Can it feed you? Can it kill a fifth-tier beast king?"

"This kid is a natural-born sharpshooter. If you try to bind him with all those rules and regulations, you're wasting his talent! That's a crime!"

"Follow me, the Greedy Wolf; only absolute freedom can breed absolute power!"

"Bullshit! Without discipline, where does fighting power come from?"

"That's for mediocre people! Is Shen Tian mediocre?"

Seeing that the two peak fifth-tier experts had already started rolling up their sleeves, and even their protective qi was crackling and sparking.

Qin Zhenshan was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at Chi Xiao's nose, spitting everywhere.

"Chixiao! This is irresponsible of you to the organization! You're sending Shen Tian, ​​a commander with such talent, to be a brute who only knows how to kill?"

"So what if I'm a brute? When I killed the fifth-tier beast king, you were still drinking goji berry tea in your office!"

Chi Xiao was no pushover either; he placed one foot on the conference table, striking a pose that was as lewd as could be.

"Besides, Commander-in-Chief? With all that mess in your lousy military command, just the daily signing and stamping alone would drive this kid crazy! You're stifling a genius!"

"Bullshit! That's training! It's development!"

"Training my ass! That's just treating them like slaves!"

The two peak fifth-tier experts were like two elementary school students fighting over a toy, neither willing to let go.

If it were a different setting, or a different person...

They were probably already internally injured by the overflowing blood and qi of those two.

But at this moment.

More than three thousand pairs of eyes in the audience watched with great interest.

cool!

To witness King Qin and Boss Chixiao publicly tearing each other apart over one person is definitely worth the price of admission.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

If Afei had a handful of sunflower seeds, he'd probably have them all over the place by now.

"Stimulate……"

Ah Fei muttered to himself, his eyes glazed over.

"I never imagined in my life that I would witness the commander-in-chief and the top expert almost having a real-life fight on the platform over a private."

Reggae, standing nearby, stared in disbelief and asked in a muffled voice, "Is this the world of the strong? I wish I had this kind of trouble too."

Lin Qingyi crossed her arms, a rare hint of helplessness appearing on her usually cold and beautiful face.

Stop dreaming.

"Only a monster like Shen Tian deserves to experience this kind of chaotic battlefield."

"If it were you, you would have been internally injured by the overflowing qi of these two long ago."

indeed.

The current situation is very delicate.

If Qin Zhenshan is not chosen, it would be tantamount to publicly slapping the top leader in the face.

If we don't choose Chi Xiao, it would be disrespectful to the number one powerhouse and we would lose the protection of a top-tier expert.

This isn't a multiple-choice question.

This is clearly a death trap question.

All eyes were focused on the boy who remained seated calmly in his chair.

Everyone wanted to know how this young hero, who had just fought his way through the beast tide, would resolve this crisis.

Everyone is guessing.

What will Shen Tian choose?

Choosing Qin Zhenshan would be a meteoric rise to power, granting him real authority and the potential to become the governor of Jiangcheng and a powerful regional official.

Choosing Chixiao means being free and unrestrained, becoming a lone warrior feared by all.

This is a multiple-choice question.

At least to everyone else, this is a single-choice question that requires choosing one of two options.

Only Shen Tian himself knows.

Only children make choices.

Adults?

Adults, of course, want it all.

Shen Tian sat in the chair, outwardly calm as a rock, but inwardly he was panicking... That was absolutely impossible.

His brain was racing, weighing the pros and cons of both sides.

Commander-in-Chief of the Po Jun Division.

This position represents not only power, but also a channel for information.

Controlling the Po Jun Division is equivalent to controlling the entire intelligence network of Jiangcheng.

Where are there many exotic beasts? Where are the beast tides of low level? Where do high-level beast kings appear?

All this information can be gathered and delivered by the staff simply by sitting in the office and talking.

For Shen Tian, ​​who needed a large number of kill points to upgrade the system, this was practically a cheat code.

Moreover.

Once a large-scale beast tide occurs, as the commander-in-chief leading the charge, won't your kill count skyrocket?

But this also has a downside.

As Chi Xiao said, there are too many constraints within the system.

If you are the commander-in-chief, you have to be responsible for your soldiers. You can't leave your post at will, and you can't rush in to fight the boss on a whim. You have to consider the overall situation.

This was indeed a problem for Shen Tian, ​​who was used to being alone and had many secrets.

In contrast, consider "Greedy Wolf".

This identity is perfect for Shen Tian.

free.

Extreme freedom.

Kill whomever you want, go wherever you want.

If he encounters a rare beast with extraordinary talent, Shen Tian can easily find an excuse to slip away, kill and rob, and destroy the evidence; no one can stop him.

But the shortcomings are also obvious.

No right.

Without official endorsement, it is inconvenient to mobilize many resources.

"so……"

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

Since there's profit to be made on both sides, why lose the big picture for a small gain?

Is there no such thing as being able to have your cake and eat it too in this world?

If done properly, it is entirely possible.

at this time.

The argument on the podium had reached a fever pitch.

Qin Zhenshan had even started to loosen his belt, seemingly preparing to make a move.

Chi Xiao slammed his heavy sword onto the table, causing the teacups to bounce wildly.

"My two seniors."

A clear voice, though not loud, carried a strange penetrating power, instantly cutting into the chaotic sound field.

It wasn't loud.

But it made the two old men, who were about to go berserk, stop at the same time.

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone held their breath.

The person in question is finally going to speak!

Shen Tian slowly stood up.

He straightened his perfectly wrinkle-free collar, smiled, and calmly walked out of his seat.

His calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if he were facing not two peak fifth-tier experts, but an old man buying vegetables at a market.

Shen Tian first walked up to Qin Zhenshan and bowed slightly.

The movements were perfect, without a single flaw.

"Commander Qin."

Shen Tian's voice was gentle.

"I will always remember your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenshan's anger dissipated almost entirely. He glanced at Chi Xiao triumphantly, as if to say: See, this child is still sensible.

"Jiangcheng is where I was born and raised. Now it is surrounded by powerful enemies, and the people are living in dire straits."

Shen Tian's tone became impassioned.

"As a martial artist, it is my duty to defend this land. If I can lead the three thousand warriors of the Po Jun Division to build an ironclad defense line and protect the peace of Jiangcheng, it is my inescapable responsibility!"

These words were spoken flawlessly.

He was righteous and awe-inspiring, and full of integrity.

Qin Zhenshan was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly:

"Good! Good boy! I knew you were a responsible person!"

Ah Fei, sitting in the audience, also looked excited:

"See that? That's the kind of awareness Brother Shen has!"

however.

Before Qin Zhenshan could even be happy for two seconds...

Shen Tian changed the subject.

He turned around, faced Chixiao, and bowed respectfully in return.

"Senior Chixiao."

"I will never forget your teachings."

Chi Xiao snorted and turned his head to the side, but his ears perked up.

"As the senior said, the beasts are ferocious, and extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times."

Shen Tian's gaze was intense, and his voice carried a hint of the fierce and ruthless spirit of war.

"If we only know how to defend, we will ultimately be on the defensive and vulnerable to attack."

"Humanity needs shields, but it needs spears even more!"

"A blade capable of piercing the darkness and beheading the enemy chieftain!"

"This exhilarating feeling of facing life and death head-on, this heroic spirit of 'I will go even if there are thousands of people against me,' is also what I aspire to!"

These words were spoken.

Chi Xiao suddenly turned his head, his eyes shining brightly.

"Well said!"

Chixiao laughed heartily.

"I told you, you're one of us at heart! What do you say? Come with me!"

Qin Zhenshan's face darkened.

This kid... why is he praising both sides?

What kind of trick is this?

Ah Fei scratched his hair.

"This doesn't sound like a rejection; it sounds more like giving someone a friend card."

"Quotes from a scumbag boyfriend?"

On the stage, Qin Zhenshan and Chi Xiao were also stunned.

The two exchanged a glance and asked in unison:

So, who do you choose?

Everyone perked up their ears.

The crucial moment has arrived.

Shen Tian stood between the two and smiled slightly.

That smile contained three parts confidence, three parts humility, and four parts cunning that was hard to fathom.

"Commander Qin, Senior Chixiao."

"Since the human race needs both shields and spears."

"Then why...?"

Shen Tian spread his hands and said matter-of-factly:

"Why can't I be both a shield and a spear?"

The entire audience was stunned.

What does that mean?

What I mean is...

Shen Tian looked around and spoke in a clear voice.

"I'll take the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Broken Army."

"Normally, I would be stationed at the Tian Shu Bureau to oversee military affairs, coordinate defenses, and ensure that Jiangcheng is impregnable."

A smile appeared on Qin Zhenshan's face.

"but--"

Before Shen Tian could finish speaking, he added, "I also hope to have the privileges of 'Greedy Wolf'."

He looked at Chi Xiao.

"When I'm not in the command center, or when a high-level alien beast appears and a decapitation operation is needed."

"I hope I can shed my identity as a general and transform into that sharp blade of freedom."

"Not bound by military orders, and without the need for requests or reports."

"Acting for the sake of convenience, and making arbitrary decisions!"

"What do you two think?"

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The entire conference hall, with over three thousand people, was so quiet you could hear them breathing.

Everyone was stunned by Shen Tian's words.

This is...

All they want is power, not obligations!

Having seized the real power of a general, he also wants to take away Tanlang's freedom?

Is this guy treating these two big shots like an ATM?

If anyone else had made this request, Qin Zhenshan would probably have slapped them against the wall and wouldn't have been able to pry them off.

That's insane!

Too greedy!

but.

Strangely, neither Qin Zhenshan nor Chi Xiao got angry.

The two exchanged a glance.

Qin Zhenshan frowned, pondering the feasibility of this "dual identity".

Chi Xiao stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

"That's interesting."

Chi Xiao grinned.

"To be both high in the imperial court and far removed from the common people?"

"Do you want to be the one who sets the rules, but can also break them at any time?"

Shen Tian remained neither humble nor arrogant:

"Only in this way can I maximize my value."

"good!"

Chi Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh.

"I don't care what old man Qin thinks, the 'Greedy Wolf' position is yours!"

"As long as you don't get overwhelmed by all the paperwork, I'll support you no matter how you want to do it!"

That's considered half an agreement.

The pressure was put on Qin Zhenshan's side.

Qin Zhenshan had a headache.

This is completely against the rules.

What kind of discipline would it be if a general were to disappear every day?

But then I thought about it again.

It would be a waste to let a prodigy like Shen Tian sit in his office all day drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Moreover, if I don't agree to him...

What if this kid really runs off with Chixiao? Wouldn't the Po Jun Si suffer a huge loss?

It's better to settle for second best than to have nothing at all.

As long as Shen Tian is willing to use this name, it will be the golden signboard of the Po Jun Division!

This is just like a nuclear weapon.

You don't necessarily have to use it, but you need to have it.

As long as Shen Tian remains the commander-in-chief of the Po Jun Division, the morale of the Jiangcheng army will not waver.

I've figured that out.

Qin Zhenshan sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face, but mostly a smile of relief.

"You little rascal..."

Qin Zhenshan pointed at Shen Tian and said with a wry smile:

"What a greedy little rascal."

"but……"

He slammed his hand on the table with overwhelming force.

"In this chaotic world, how can one survive without greed?"

"How can you win if you're not greedy?!"

"Since you have such an appetite, I'll grant your wish!"

Qin Zhenshan stood up and announced it to the public.

"I agree!"

"From this day forward, Shen Tian is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Po Jun Division! He will also concurrently serve as the Jiangcheng Greedy Wolf!"

"Except for command of major battles, they possess complete autonomy in their actions!"

"Throughout the entire company, seeing the General is like seeing me!"

Whoosh—!!!

This time, the applause was thunderous, almost lifting the dome of the conference hall.

Ah Fei clapped frantically from below, his palms turning red from clapping.

"Awesome!"

"That's fucking awesome!"

"Brother Shen's move has really broadened his horizons!"

"He's both a military bigwig and a wilderness warrior; who would dare mess with him now?"

Shen Tian stood in front of the podium, surrounded by the thunderous applause, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This wave.

They've won so many times they're numb.

They gained fame, power, and freedom.

Next.

It's time to use these resources to snatch those purple talents that we haven't gotten yet, one by one.

Thinking of this, Shen Tian's gaze unconsciously drifted to the window.

That's the direction of the wilderness.

There.

There are also three fifth-tier beast kings waiting for him to "favor" them.

"Wait for me."

Shen Tian said silently to himself.

"I will give you a dignified death."
