The weakest martial artist? One punch and he's leveled up a whole realm!

The moment Ye Xiao gave his answer.

All four people on the field smiled knowingly.

The relief on their faces.

It's because they know that if the principal were in charge of this vote, he would make the same decision as Ye Xiao.

From this perspective...

The principal chose the person most suitable to inherit his status and power.

"good!"

The old man announced loudly, "Then, starting today, the school will activate its protective barrier!"

Just as the old man was about to start voting on the next thing.

Ye Xiao interrupted.

"Wait, aren't we going to talk about how we can get more spirit stones at this time?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't the operation of every aspect of the school become problematic?"

Lu Qingshan, Lao Zhang, and Qian Lao all wore smiles of satisfaction.

The old man then picked up where he left off after being interrupted.

"The second thing we'll discuss is the issue you're concerned about, the issue of spirit stones."

"Due to the massive invasion of the Crimson Abyss World, many spirit stone suppliers have cut off their supplies. One major reason for this is that several spirit stone mining areas on the outskirts of Jiang City have now been occupied by Crimson Abyss demons!"

"These spirit stone mines are of great help to humans in cultivation and improving their strength, but similarly, demons can also absorb and draw power from them."

Regarding what the old man in the black coat said about this matter.

Ye Xiao had already seen it with his own eyes in the Demon Iron Mine of the Crimson Abyss World.

Whether it's spirit stone ore or magic iron ore.

Essentially, it is a container used to store power.

However, the spirit stone mine contains clean and pure power, which is called spiritual energy.

The demon iron ore contains impurities, but the more domineering and savage power is called demonic energy.

Humans can absorb both kinds of power and increase their own strength.

Similarly, monsters can absorb the power from both spirit stone ore and demon iron ore at the same time.

"The developers of these spirit stone mines, which have been taken over by monsters, do not have the ability to reclaim the spirit stone mines."

"Therefore, if anyone can help reclaim the spirit stone mine, they are willing to give away half of its output."

"Currently, within Jiang City, besides the military, universities and vocational schools have the most cultivators."

"In other words, only military units, universities, and vocational schools have combat capabilities that are worth competing for."

Ye Xiao immediately understood what Grandpa Hei meant.

He expressed his opinion.

"Rather than sitting and waiting to die, it is indeed better to take the initiative."

"How long could half the output of the spirit stone mine sustain the school's protective barrier?"

The old man held up three fingers.

"Extend for at least three months!"

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately nodded.

"I support our school taking the initiative to find a way to reclaim the spirit stone mine."

At this time.

The others smiled.

Old Man Hei said, "We all support taking the initiative and finding a way to seize a spirit stone mine."

"So, this leads to our next voting section."

"Who will take responsibility for this?"

Ye Xiao was taken aback when he heard this.

He thought that voting was simply a matter of whether or not to take the initiative?

Who would have thought that the vote would decide who would go?

And this time.

Mr. Qian took the initiative to speak.

"Taking the initiative to attack the spirit stone mine is a very risky thing."

"Therefore, we should send at least two of us to take charge of the overall situation."

"At the same time, many deans, professors, and teachers in the school need to be sent out, and a group of high-achieving students may even need to be selected from the senior students in the school."

And this time.

Lu Qingshan then said, "In that case, I am also a dean of the school. There are five deans in the school. Let's have all five deans work together for this operation."

"Then we'll organize all the senior students in the school, but one other person... I wonder who here would like to come with me?"

Old Zhang, who wasn't much of a talker, took the initiative to speak at this moment.

"I'll go with Lao Lu. There's no point in me staying at school."

"I'm not good at management; I'm much better at fighting monsters."

"By the way, you can also talk to the presidents of the Heavenly Pride Society, the Demon Hunter Society, and the Myriad Elephant Pavilion. They should be willing to send out a group of elite teams."

"The matter of the spirit stone mine is of utmost importance, as it concerns the safety of all teachers and students in the school."

"With cracks breaking across the globe, the world is no longer safe and has entered a period of chaos."

"We can't save too many people. Protecting the school is the best we can do."

Old Zhang, who doesn't usually talk much.

His remarks at that moment were quite sincere and pragmatic.

From this point of view...

Ye Xiao gained a deeper understanding of Lao Zhang's character and personality.

The old man nodded.

"Alright! For now, it's decided that Lao Lu and Lao Zhang, you two will be responsible for capturing at least one spirit stone mine!"

"Me, Lao Qian, and Ye Xiao, the three of us will vote on whether we agree to take action."

The words fell.

This time, the two of them didn't resort to the anonymous voting method.

Instead, he simply raised his hand.

Before Ye Xiao could make a decision.

Grandpa Hei and Grandpa Qian both raised their hands.

Ye Xiao witnessed this scene.

He immediately burst into laughter.

He had this feeling that the vote was related to him, but it also seemed like it wasn't.

It felt like these four people had just called him here to go through the motions.

Moreover, this was just the first vote.

Ye Xiao had a feeling.

These four people deliberately cast a two-to-two vote.

It seems they just want to see his attitude and the outcome.

and.

The four people seemed to have guessed that Ye Xiao would vote in favor.

That's why the current vote on the spirit stone mine has naturally followed.

Ye Xiao had a feeling that he had been arranged by these four old men the whole time.

It's like following a pre-written script.

"Then came the third vote."

The old man didn't stop for a moment; he was very efficient.

"Our school needs to send an extraordinary individual to support [Rift 42: Shadow Rift] in the North China Plain."

These words were spoken.

The crowd fell silent.

Ye Xiao's face showed a puzzled and surprised expression.

"Wait, we're also suffering from the disaster, so why are we sending people to support Crack 42 in the North China Plain?"

Grandpa Hei stared calmly at Ye Xiao and said.

"The arrangements from above."

Ye Xiao was speechless and couldn't utter a word.

Above.

It's above again.

Since he came into this world, he has encountered the above countless times.

What exactly is on this?

It was as if the above was the root of all the strict systems and fears!

"Then...who should we send?" Ye Xiao asked. "Does our school currently have any superhumans?"

next moment.

Mr. Qian, Mr. Lu Qingshan, and Mr. Zhang all turned their gazes toward Grandpa Hei.

A look of surprise gradually appeared on Ye Xiao's face.

The last thing they looked at was the old man in black.
