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

"Grandpa Blackie...you're actually...a superhuman?"

This was the first time Ye Xiao had learned about this.

Although he interacted with the old man in his daily life.

You can sense that the old man in black is like a "hidden master".

But I never expected this.

He was actually the second superhuman in the school, besides the principal!

And it was done in such a low-key and discreet manner.

The old man spoke calmly.

"Our school sent a superhuman to support [Rift 42: Shadow Rift], and that person was me."

"Because this matter was requested by higher authorities, there was no need for a vote; it was implemented directly."

Ye Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Blackie, our third vote is..."

Grandpa Hei looked at Old Qian.

"Jiang City also appealed to our school for help. Because the school owed Jiang City officials a favor, we had to send people to provide assistance and accept the command of Jiang City leaders."

This time.

There are only two people left on the field who haven't been assigned any tasks.

One of them is Mr. Qian.

The other person is Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao took a deep breath; he knew it was time for him to take responsibility.

He volunteered, "I'll go!"

But just as he finished speaking...

Old Qian, who was standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Let me go."

"He's still just a child. Although his future is limitless, he wouldn't understand how to deal with the authorities right now."

"That's not a school; it's full of intricate networks of relationships. Besides, how many people could he possibly meet there?"

"His words carry little weight, and no one will listen to him."

"So, let me go."

Ye Xiao had no way to refute what Elder Qian said.

Indeed, just as Mr. Qian said.

Send Ye Xiao to greet the leaders of Jiang City.

He would indeed be at a loss.

Firstly, he didn't know anyone; secondly, nobody knew him.

In this situation.

How could he possibly have arranged things with someone else?

The old man nodded.

"Alright, let's vote last."

"Raise your hand if you agree that Ye Xiao should go!"

The room was quiet, except for Ye Xiao who raised his hand.

But the old man frowned and told Ye Xiao to put his hand down.

"You are the one being voted for, but you don't have the right to vote."

Ye Xiao had no choice but to reluctantly lower his hand.

"Raise your hand if you agree that Lao Qian should go."

Swish swish!

Grandpa Hei, Old Zhang, and Lu Qingshan all raised their right hands.

The final three rounds of voting have concluded.

But when Ye Xiao saw this scene, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"In my opinion, you have already decided the outcome of every vote."

"Isn't it redundant to call me here to vote with you all?"

"Anyway, the four of you can decide on anything related to the school."

"Why bother pretending to respect my voting rights?"

The four of them stared silently at Ye Xiao.

Looking at this boy who seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

finally.

The old man in the black coat spoke.

Actually, we have four things to vote on.

"But because the results of the previous three rounds of voting have already been released."

"Therefore, the fourth thing does not require a vote and can be implemented directly."

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

The old man slowly spoke.

"After the four of us leave the school, someone will be needed to take charge of the school's overall situation."

The moment the words fell.

Ye Xiao's eyes widened to their maximum size.

"You don't mean...."

All four nodded in unison.

"Yes, the fourth item on the vote is to elect the school's interim principal!"

Ye Xiao was startled.

"No way? You old guys, are you serious? Are you kidding me?"

"If you're assigning me missions, like seizing spirit stone mines or fighting monsters, I can understand those things."

"But you're asking me to be the school's temporary principal?"

"This is way too frivolous!"

The four people listened quietly to Ye Xiao's words.

Mr. Qian smiled gently: "Actually, this is the result of careful consideration by the four of us. We have been paying attention to you since the first day you enrolled."

"Finally, after our unanimous discussion and agreement, we made a very rational and careful decision, which is not the childish thing you described."

Old Zhang then spoke seriously: "Ye Xiao, have you ever imagined a scenario?"

"Grandpa Hei has gone to reinforce [Rift 42: Shadow Rift] in the North China Plain."

"Qian Lao went to Jiang City with official support and will take a group of teachers from the school with him."

"And Dean Lu and I will take all the deans and teachers of the school with us, as well as the senior students."

"By then, who will be left at the school?"

Ye Xiao took a deep breath: "The school is now only left with students and some support staff."

Old Zhang nodded: "Yes, the remaining group of people don't have much fighting ability."

"Therefore, the school's protective barrier is actually protecting these people."

"And the only person we can trust is you."

Ye Xiao asked, "Why me?"

This time, it was Lu Qingshan's turn to answer Ye Xiao's questions.

"First, your strength is the strongest among the new generation, there is no doubt about that. You have proven it with actual combat. Now you have a very high reputation in the school."

"Secondly, you went to the Crimson Abyss, and you survived a blow from the Flame Demon King. Most importantly..."

When Lu Qingshan got to this point...

He paused meaningfully for a moment.

Then he looked at the old man in black.

It seemed as if they were asking the old man whether or not he should say the next sentence.

Grandpa Hei also has an impatient personality.

It just became his turn to speak.

"I'll say what Lao Lu wants to say."

"Ye Xiao, did you go to the mining base of Taichu Pharmaceuticals and Wanqi Heavy Industry in the Crimson Abyss World, which is a source of demonic iron ore?"

These words were spoken.

When it was Ye Xiao's turn, he was completely stunned.

"Uncle Hei, how did you find out about this?"

He thought that since he hadn't told anyone about it, no one would know about it.

But at this point...

Ye Xiao suddenly realized something.

The power of the superhuman seemed to be far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Grandpa Hei did not answer Ye Xiao's question.

Instead, he said, "In the underground mining area there, a catastrophe of demonized humans occurred, and all the miners died."

"Only you and the foreman escaped."

"Is this true?"

Ye Xiao was utterly astonished, and nodded: "Yes."

"But I only found out when I went there that the demonized man was locked in a cage. Later, the demonized man was released because someone wanted to harm me."

The old man nodded.

"I don't need to know the details of these things."

"Do you know what the demonized man did in the end?"

Ye Xiao shook his head.

The old man said, "Those demonized people destroyed the machinery that was running there, which then triggered an unprecedented explosion."

"It was this explosion that became the trigger for global fissure explosions."
