Rumble …

A torrential downpour fell from the sky, landing on the blazing mountain behind Jiangyuan University.

Even the fierce mountain fire seemed so small and helpless in front of the heavenly might, being suppressed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Taiping opened his eyes.

He saw the dark gray faces in front of him.

"Mr Xu, you're awake!" A dark grey face called out in excitement.

Xu Taiping sat up and looked around. He found himself in a car, and beside him were the fire fighters.

The firemen wore sincere smiles.

"Has everyone come out?!" Xu Taiping asked.

"They're all out! Everyone's out! It's raining! It's raining heavily! The heavens are moved by you, Mr Xu!" A fire fighter said.

"Is it raining?" Xu Taiping looked outside. It was raining, and it was still raining heavily.

With such a heavy rain, the mountain fire wouldn't be able to burn for long.

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief.

"Is there anyone injured?" Xu Taiping asked.

"No one is injured, all trapped people are safe!" A Fire Warrior said happily.

"I'm asking if any of you were injured?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Us?" The fire fighter was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't remember whether someone on his side was injured or not, because in his mind, the safety of their own people was far less important than the safety of the people. Of course, it didn't mean that the safety of their own people was not important at all, but it was just that they were used to putting the safety of the people first.

"We're fine. It's just some blisters. That's normal!" A fire fighter wearing only a vest said on the side.

Xu Taiping looked at the man.

This person seemed to be in his twenties and had blisters all over his body. The biggest one was actually the size of an egg.

Those who had been burned knew that this sort of package was truly painful.

"I thank you on behalf of the students of Jiangyuan University." Xu Taiping said sincerely.

"What are you thanking me for? Mr Xu, we should all be thanking you. Without you, our brothers and those students would really have been in trouble this time!" A fire fighter said.

"This is my responsibility. I am the honorary director of the school's defense department." Xu Taiping said.

"We are also responsible." The fire soldier said with a smile.

Xu Taiping smiled, looked out the window, and said, "Let me down here, I'll go to the school and take a look."

"Don't you need to go to the hospital?" the fireman asked.

"No need, I'm fine too. I'm just a little exhausted." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright then, Mr Xu. See you again if fate wills it!"

The fire engine stopped, Xu Taiping got off and waved goodbye to the fire fighters.

The driver pressed his horn, giving Xu Taiping a signal. Following that, the fire engines began to move forward.

Xu Taiping stood where he was and watched the cars leave.

For the students who were trapped in Jiangyuan University, today's experience was something that was hard to come by. However, for these firefighters, this experience was something they often needed to experience.

Xu Taiping thought of something.

There was no peace, just some people helping us carry the load forward.

Whether it's the police, the military, or the fire fighters, these people always guard us in a place we can't see.

Xu Taiping suddenly remembered Zhao Taiheng's words about protecting world peace.

There were some things that needed someone to do.

The corners of Xu Taiping's mouth curled up as he muttered to himself, "In the future, this matter of protecting the world's peace can be considered as my part."

At Jiangyuan University, in the Defense Department.

The fire had been extinguished by the heavy rain, and everyone was back at the security post.

Xu Taiping also came to the security department. Since his clothes were already burnt out, he came to change into a clean security uniform.

"Director Xu, I feel that you should still wear this set of clothes!" Chen Wen said seriously.

"Do you want me to come back?" Xu Taiping laughed.

"It would definitely be the best if you could come back!" Chen Wen said excitedly.

"Forget it!" Xu Taiping shook his head and asked, "How are those trapped students now?"

"They're all in the medical room. I just asked around and no one was injured. This is too amazing!" Chen Wen said.

"Why are they on the mountain?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That Lin You Ran you saved went up to read a book. As for the rest of them, they said they went up to take a good time." Chen Wen said.

"The cause of the fire? Have you found it? " Xu Taiping asked.

"I think it's because of lightning, didn't lightning strike for quite a long time? "However, this kind of thing still needs to be investigated by firefighting." Chen Wen said.

"It's not something that students can order together." Xu Taiping said that if the student really lit the fire, then he would definitely teach the student how to use fire in the wild.

Not long after Xu Taiping had arrived, Lin You Ran arrived.

"Director Xu, are you alright?" Lin You Ran asked in concern when he saw Xu Tai Ping.

"What can I do for you?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"That's good. Director Xu, thank you this time. If not for you, I, I might have been burned to death!" Lin You Ran said gratefully.

"You're too polite. We're friends, right?" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Yes, we are friends!" Lin You Ran nodded in excitement.

Xu Taiping smiled. Just as he was about to speak to Lin You Ran, his phone suddenly rang.

Xu Taiping looked at his phone, then walked to the door and picked it up.

"Boss, we just investigated Thompson's residence in City X. The Thompson family, all dead. " The voice of Xu Taiping's subordinate came over the phone.

"All dead?" Xu Taiping was shocked. He asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it's the Thompson family?"

"Yes, eight people in total died." The voice on the other end of the phone said.

"They're all dead …" Xu Taiping frowned. The Thompson Family that protected the third world was actually exterminated. Who could have exterminated them?

"There was a line of words at the scene." The voice on the other end of the phone said.

"What word?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This world does not need you. Only I can protect this world."

Xu Taiping was silent.

This line of words should have been left behind by the killer, who obviously knew the identity of the Thompson family.

Xu Taiping suddenly thought of one person, that was Heim.

After a long silence, Xu Taiping said, "Then let's leave it at this for now. You can take care of the Thompson family's aftermath."

"Alright!"

After hanging up, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh.

The death of the Thompson family gave Xu Taiping a bad feeling.

As Zhao Tianzhu left, the world started to become turbulent as expected.

Whether it was those who were suppressed or those who guarded this world, everyone was undergoing a change.

"A chaotic world, a chaotic world!" Xu Taiping shook his head, then returned to the guardhouse.

"You Ran, come with me." Xu Taiping called Lin You Ran over to a room.

"How's your recovery going with my A.I. Chip?" Xu Taiping asked.

"This... I'm trying to recover, but the chip is too complicated, so... "There's not much progress right now, right, Director Xu? You won't blame me, will you?" Lin You Ran asked cautiously.

"Why should I blame you? It's fine if you can repair it, but if you can't, it's fine too. Don't let yourself get tired, and don't give yourself too much pressure! " Xu Taiping said.

"I will do my best!" Lin You Ran said seriously.

"Thank you for that. Oh yeah, how have you been playing the game?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It's not bad, this game has a lot of freedom and also doesn't require a lot of time. It's still very easy to play it. Chairman Xu, can you play it sometime?" It's really interesting, as if it's another world! " Lin You Ran said.

"Of course I know. It's just that there are a lot of things happening recently. I'll go up when there's a chance." Xu Taiping said.

"Then you must add me as a friend if you're online. My name is Easy Life." Lin You Ran said.

"Sure!"

After chatting for a while, Xu Taiping left Jiangyuan University.

This school carried a lot of Xu Taiping's past. However, the relationship between Xu Taiping and him was getting further and further away.

It was just like the relationship between a person and his home. A home was everything, but as one grew older, one would become further and further away from home, eventually forming their own home.

Xu Taiping took a taxi to the company, and on the way there, he opened up the Martial Arts List to take a look.

When Xu Taiping saw this, he was shocked.

The first rank of the Martial Saint Board was originally his, but now, it was a completely different person.

"Xiang Gang!"

This was the top ranker of the Martial Saint Ranking, and his battle strength had actually reached an astonishing 82,100!

This was a completely new person!

Xu Taiping had no impression of this name. It was enough to see that this person had definitely not appeared on the Martial Arts Rankings before.

A person who had never appeared on the Martial Saint Board had actually occupied the first place with a fighting strength of 82,100. This was quite miraculous.

At that moment, Xu Taiping's phone suddenly rang.

Xu Taiping looked and saw that it was Zhou Weidao.

Xu Taiping picked up the phone.

"President, have you seen the latest update on the Martial King List?" Zhou Weidao asked excitedly.

"Latest update? "I just saw, there's a person with over 80,000 battle prowess, is this the latest update?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That's right, this is the latest update. It was just updated a few minutes ago. A person called Xiang Gang became the top ranker on the Martial Forest Supreme Ranking. And just now, I received a call from this person called Xiang Gang … He wants to challenge you! " Zhou Weidao said.
