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

"This group of people use the same trick over and over again, they enjoy it and it has never failed them."

Ye Xiao kept repeating the words of the old man in his mind.

Then, Ye Xiao said something that hit the nail on the head.

"Uncle Hei, what if these people go too far one day?"

"For example, a monster stronger than all the superhumans appeared!"

Upon hearing this, the old man sneered.

"I think that day won't be long."

He made no attempt to hide his sarcasm towards that group.

"Those old guys are just individuals who became extraordinary because they were born early, cultivated their spiritual energy for a few more years than others, and were lucky."

"This group of people, every single one of them, is now resting on their laurels and living off their past achievements!"

"To control the Human Alliance is to control the power, wealth, and resources of all humanity. What motivation would someone have to cultivate if they already possessed everything?"

"What they're doing now is suppressing other rising stars, afraid that other humans will surpass them in cultivation progress!"

"But the monsters are getting stronger every day!"

"Right now, they can still suppress the rampage of the monsters, but in a few more years, that might not be the case!"

This moment.

Ye Xiao finally understood why Grandpa Hei was so disdainful and contemptuous of the people from the Human Alliance!

It turns out that the superhumans of the Human Alliance did such disgusting and dark things?

They were afraid that others would surpass them in cultivation.

They suppressed the opponent before they could even grow strong!

To nip a promising young talent in the bud!

Simultaneously.

Ye Xiao finally understood why Grandpa Hei had helped him with his low-key and painstaking efforts from the beginning.

At first, Ye Xiao did not understand Grandpa Hei's intentions.

Now I've completely woken up.

If he chooses to be high-profile and uses his second-realm status and realm to control the Crimson Abyss World!

Without a doubt, he will catch the eye of those old guys in the Human Alliance!

For those people, anyone who could potentially surpass them.

They will all become their targets for suppression!

Until this moment.

The old man in the black coat spoke his mind.

"Ye Xiao, I've chatted with the principal before."

"We talked about you all night."

"If there really is one person who can overthrow this corrupt ruling class of humanity."

"The principal and I both believe that person is you!"

The moment Ye Xiao first heard such high praise from Grandpa Hei.

Ye Xiao felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He hadn't expected that the old man and the principal would speak so highly of him.

"Why?" Ye Xiao asked subconsciously.

The old man in the black coat gave an answer.

"From the very first day you started practicing boxing, we saw in you the lack of the impetuousness and eagerness for quick success that is common in this era."

"Moreover, you have chosen the most difficult path of martial arts, using the most arduous methods of boxing and body training to make yourself stronger."

"Your cultivation relies on taking one step at a time, and the improvement of your strength comes entirely from your own inner evolution and transformation."

"But the cultivation of spiritual energy is ultimately just an external force."

Speaking of it.

The old man gave a wry smile: "In fact, the principal and I even fantasized about what it would be like if we went back to our youth and faced the two paths of martial arts and spiritual cultivation."

Which option will we choose?

"Later, we all agreed that we couldn't endure the hardships of being a warrior, nor could we go down this path."

"From this point of view, we are far inferior to you."

"Although in this era, many people ridicule those who can endure hardship, saying that as long as you can endure hardship, there will be no end to the hardship."

"But the hardships you endure on the path of martial arts will eventually become the thickest and most solid foundation of your great strength."

This moment.

Ye Xiao was no longer confused about the path he had chosen as a martial artist.

Now that the goal is clear, all that's left to do is to keep moving forward steadfastly!

then.

Ye Xiao and Grandpa Hei chatted for a long time.

He learned that the Chiyuan battlefield had achieved a great victory, while the North China Plain was bogged down in a quagmire.

Although Jiang City was largely destroyed, funds for reconstruction were available.

It relies on the raw materials from the slain Balrogs.

Jiangda University was the location most severely damaged.

Because it is the main battlefield of the Flame Demon King.

More than 90% of Jiangda University was completely destroyed.

However, Lu Qingshan and Lao Zhang successfully reclaimed all the spirit stone mines, earning the school a large sum of spirit stones, enough to help rebuild the school.

At last.

Ye Xiao mentioned Zhou Ming.

He asked, "Uncle Hei, how is Teacher Zhou?"

The old man with the dark complexion shook his head.

"The person isn't dead..."

For Ye Xiao, this was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

As long as the person is alive, that's the best news.

"However, he is now basically paralyzed, has severe burns over a large area of ​​his body, and because he burned everything to fight the Flame Demon King, his cultivation foundation has been completely destroyed."

"It's fair to say that, apart from being alive, he's completely unlike a human being in every other aspect."

Ye Xiao's expression became extremely solemn.

"Is there any way to treat him?"

The old man shook his head: "We are also trying to find a solution and will spare no effort to treat him."

"After all, he was one of the heroes who fought against the Fire Demon King."

Ye Xiao nodded, his heart heavy.

"Teacher Zhou, he is a true hero."

"I will also find a way to cure him."

Ye Xiao then recalled what had happened after he transmigrated to this world.

He faced ridicule and disdain from everyone.

Teacher Zhou Ming was the first to take the initiative to care about him.

To this day, he still remembers what Zhou Ming said to him that day.

"If you're under a lot of pressure, I can help you find a part-time job at the cafeteria. With the money you earn, you can buy some cultivation resources. I'll also give you a campus card with some money on it; use it sparingly."

What seemed like a simple act of help left an indelible mark on Ye Xiao at that time.

"Alright, Ye Xiao, you need to rest for another two days."

"The principal's trip to the Abyss went smoothly, and he will be back the day after tomorrow."

"Let's talk about the Crimson Abyss World agency when he gets back."

Then, the old man left the room.

Ye Xiao returned to being alone.

He immediately and impatiently opened his system.

The system notification from three days ago.

He can finally see now.
