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

Ye Xiao was stunned.

When Grandpa Hei connected all the dots...

Ye Xiao then realized.

The phenomenon of cracks and explosions occurring globally.

It was all because of him?

To be precise.

It all started because of the man who wanted to kill Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao was simply trying to survive.

It's like a butterfly effect.

A single hair can affect the whole body.

Ye Xiao's feelings were very complicated at this moment.

But the old man, unusually, said a few words of comfort.

"However, you don't need to feel guilty at all."

"The crack can only last for a maximum of three years."

"Three years from now, the demolition will still have to be carried out."

"You've simply accelerated this process by three years."

"Moreover, going ahead of time is not necessarily a bad thing."

"On the contrary, it caught those people off guard."

"The person underwater finally couldn't hold their breath any longer and had to come up for air, or they would suffocate."

Upon hearing this...

Ye Xiao seemed to understand something.

Why did the principal and the old man with the black hair choose him?

It seems that's because of that.

He is like a useful sharp knife.

It can be inserted directly into the heart of "those people" that the old man mentioned!

Just then.

Ye Xiao asked curiously, "Uncle Hei, if even you know, then other people, like those from Taichu Pharmaceuticals and Wanqi Heavy Industry, must know too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Hei's face darkened, clearly indicating that he had remembered something.

At this moment, Mr. Qian spoke with his usual cheerful smile.

"People from Taichu Pharmaceuticals and Wanqi Heavy Industry must know about this."

"Have you forgotten something? There's something called surveillance?"

"You were on their surveillance footage from beginning to end."

"How could they not know?"

"The leaders of Taichu Pharmaceuticals and Wanqi Heavy Industry are both extraordinary individuals. If they wanted to capture you, it would be a matter of minutes."

"However, your Uncle Hei went to negotiate with them beforehand, and I heard he had to make a lot of concessions before they agreed to let you go."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao was completely dumbfounded.

He thought his operation was flawless, but he never expected it to be so laughable in the eyes of his opponent.

Ye Xiao never expected that he would be able to leave unharmed.

The reason was that the old man in black came to his rescue.

Ye Xiao looked at the old man in black, his expression becoming somewhat bewildered.

"Grandpa Hei, what exactly did you lose?"

Old man Hei snorted coldly.

"He's invested half his life's savings, what do you think?"

No wonder Grandpa Hei was surprised when Ye Xiao told him about this.

His face turned so dark.

The name "Uncle Black" perfectly reflects his character.

"Alright, alright!" Old Qian waved his hand with a smile. "Ye Xiao, don't listen to what your Uncle Hei is saying. The leaders of Taichu Pharmaceutical and Wanqi Heavy Industry also owe your Uncle Hei a favor."

"You blew up their underground mine and exposed their secret of demonized humans, which has already affected the stock prices of Taichu Pharmaceutical and Wanqi Heavy Industry, causing an earthquake within their entire group."

"For those capitalists, this is a hatred far greater than a blood feud. Do you really think giving them a little something will save your life?"

"To put it bluntly, Grandpa Hei used the most expensive things—it's all about personal connections!"

The old man seemed to have grown tired of the topic.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's pointless."

but.

The old man gave Ye Xiao one last reminder.

"I only saved your life for a year."

"If those people from that company try to kill you a year from now, I won't care."

One year!

This is equivalent to Grandpa Hei helping Ye Xiao gain a year of development time.

If Ye Xiao cannot become stronger in this year...

Or, it might not satisfy Grandpa Hei.

Then Grandpa Hei will give up on Ye Xiao.

on the contrary.

If Ye Xiao performs well enough.

Then the old man in black might continue to protect him.

"Thank you, Grandpa Black!"

Ye Xiao immediately bowed deeply to Grandpa Hei at a 90-degree angle without hesitation.

I saw this scene.

The old man's originally serious and cold face finally softened a little.

It also seems to be because of Ye Xiao's grateful and courteous behavior.

Grandpa Hei felt that his efforts had not been in vain.

At least, he didn't help an ingrate.

At this time.

Lu Qingshan smiled teasingly and looked at Ye Xiao.

The initial question was raised.

"Now, Ye Xiao, can you tell us if you are worthy of our trust?"

Ye Xiao nodded vigorously: "Worth it!"

"Can you shoulder the heavy responsibility of being a temporary principal?"

"I..." Ye Xiao hesitated for two seconds before finally nodding firmly, "I can take on that responsibility!"

........

After half an hour.

A pale blue light curtain suddenly rose over the entire campus of Jiangnan University!

Start from the edge of the school grounds.

As it rose higher and higher, it eventually formed an arched dome.

The entire school witnessed this scene.

Younger students don't understand what this is.

"What is that curtain of light in the sky?"

"It looks just like a semi-circular egg!"

"It seems to have enveloped the entire school?"

"Could this be some kind of monster trick? To trap us all here?"

"......"

A commotion and panic broke out within the school.

But soon.

Some older students who understood it recognized it.

"Stop spreading rumors! This is the school's protective barrier activating!"

"This thing is used to defend against monster attacks and protect the safety of all teachers and students!"

"Everyone can stop hiding now!"

"Students who were hiding in the underground safe house can now come out."

"It's safe now!"

"......"

Many students began to emerge from the underground safe house.

After the initial invasion episode by the Firebird Demon.

This has caused psychological trauma to many students.

Originally, many students were hoping to go to the Rift World to kill monsters and obtain treasures.

But the moment they actually saw the monster.

Suddenly, they realized that what they had imagined was completely different from the reality they saw.

Fighting monsters is no child's play; it can really kill you!

Just after many students returned to the ground.

His face wore a smile of relief, as if he had survived a disaster.

They began to breathe in the fresh air from the ground.

I don't know who shouted that.

"Look! Another Flame Demon Bird is flying over from the sky!"

This time, a full five Flame Demon Birds flew over!

Moreover, they were even more aggressive than the previous two Flame Demon Birds, with more numbers and a larger formation!

Many students were so frightened that they immediately ran away to hide in the underground safe house.

But the older students stared at the group of students with mocking expressions.

"Look at you all, so cowardly!"

"They always say they're going to the Crimson Abyss to kill monsters, but when they see real monsters, they're all so scared they just run away!"

"I told you long ago, there's a protective barrier, it's perfectly safe!"

"......"

as predicted.

After the five fire demon birds approached the edge of the protective barrier.

The protective barrier was immediately activated, and a deep blue light screen appeared.

It sent the five Flame Demon Birds flying, crashing to the ground outside the school like fireballs.

Meanwhile, the protective barrier that was hit remained completely undamaged!
