Prologue Burning Text

  Tang Xiaoxia's dream was in an examination room, he didn't know where the examination room was, and there were students writing eagerly around him. As a student's habit, he also started answering questions involuntarily.

  The topics on the exam were all over the place, with many subjects mixed together. However, his answers were still passable, but after calculating again and again, he felt that the score was still two points away from passing. He had left a few questions blank and was getting anxious when the proctor, an old white-bearded man with a kind smile, handed him a very thick dictionary. Tang Xiaoxiao thought it was really not easy for someone of his age to be here as a proctor. He looked at him with some gratitude and quickly lowered his head to search for answers in the dictionary, thinking that he would find what he was looking for inside. However, after flipping through it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything. At this moment, the bell rang, signaling the end of the exam. He let out a sigh, thinking that he might not pass, but when he picked up his paper, he revealed the answer sheet that had been pressed underneath.

  That was a blank answer sheet with no name, test number, or answers to multiple-choice questions filled in.

  He frantically grabbed his pen and tried to scribble on it, only to find that the paper was gone. The chief examiner at the far end of the room was holding all the papers and was about to disappear through the doorway.

  All sorts of emotions filled Tang Xiaoxia's heart, he wanted to beg the examiner to return the paper to him so that he could fill in the card properly and then take it away, but he clearly knew that this was not possible.

  Suddenly, a thread of hatred emerged from his heart. It started with just a little bit, like a drop of ink dripping into a cup of transparent clear water, but it spread so fast that in an instant, the water had turned pitch black.

  I'm going to kill him! Looking at the back of the old examiner, Tang Xiaohai suddenly stood up and chased out quickly.

  But this is not the end of the dream.

  The scene outside the examination hall was a different story. Tang Xiaoxia found that the modernized examination building inside looked so old-fashioned after he chased him out.

  The examination building is surprisingly in a dense forest grassland, and the only way to the outside world is a long winding path that seems to have no end.

  The old man walked slowly with his bundle, and no one knew where he was going. For some reason, Tang Xiaoxia suddenly felt that the old man looked particularly worn out. He walked very slowly, and his back appeared especially desolate. Tang Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, slowing down his pace without realizing it, following from afar, neither getting closer nor letting the old man disappear from his line of sight. The old man finally stopped, and Tang Xiaoxia, despite walking slowly, gradually approached him. Unlike his intention to kill him earlier, he became hesitant, unsure whether to walk up to him. His anger-driven desire to kill him earlier slowly turned into a different feeling, which he couldn't quite describe, but felt that something even stranger would happen.

  A man and a woman suddenly appeared.

  The two people's attire was very strange, just like the villains in a historical drama. The man looked over 40 years old, wearing a bright red shirt, tall and sturdy, looking particularly arrogant. The woman appeared to be only in her early 20s, wearing a yellow dress that was too short to cover her knees, yet she was so beautiful that she exuded an evil aura amidst her beauty. She could be described as enchanting and captivating, with a flirtatious gaze at Tang Xiaoxiao, which made his heart feel like a small deer running wildly, his face slightly flushing red.

  Such a sudden situation was not expected by Tang Xiaoxia, he had already walked to the old man's back at this time. Under such circumstances, he actually forgot about finding trouble with the old man. He looked at the couple and felt a little empty in his heart. He wanted to leave here, thinking that the couple seemed to be looking for trouble with the old man, it was better to have one less thing to worry about, so he prepared to leave.

  The old man turned his head around, and he smiled at Tang Xiaoxia. Tang Xiaoxia saw the sadness and helplessness in that smile. He heard the old man say to him: "You were following me from behind just now, actually wanting to kill me, right? The reason for killing me is simply because I took your scroll, even though you don't remember what you wrote on it."

  The contents of that scroll indeed disappeared from Tang Xiaoxia's memory, and he was also a little strange why he had risen to the sky just now. That was really just an ordinary exam, ah? He looked at the old man with some confusion and asked him: "Who are you?"

  The old man didn't answer him, he just smiled mysteriously, a bitter smile. He turned his head to the couple and said helplessly, "It seems that today I must die?"

  The girl smiled beautifully, but didn't say a word. On the other hand, the man spoke loudly: "Chun Zhen, you have no chance today, look at how old you've become, what ability do you still have to oppose us? Once we eliminate you, this world will be entirely ours!"

  He burst out laughing, which made Tang Xiaoxiao very unhappy. So he frowned, and found that the charming woman who had been smiling all along immediately restrained her smile when she saw him frowning. He saw that the woman lightly pulled a few times on the arrogant man's sleeve and whispered: "Be serious," Fire God is here!"

  That arrogant man sneered, turning his gaze to Tang Xiaoxia, saying disdainfully: "The genuine Guardians have all been annihilated, what can one 'Fire God' do?"

  Tang Xiaoxia's mind was filled with doubts, and he had no idea who the pure-hearted person was or what this "Fire God" business was all about. However, one thing seemed to have clicked into place - the "Fire God" that the arrogant man had mentioned in passing was actually him, Tang Xiaoxia, and the old man called Pure Heart was now in a state of extreme crisis due to the murder of his guards.

  He took a look at the robust body of the arrogant man, and then looked at his own thin figure. If it were usual times, Tang Xiaoxia would have definitely retreated without taking advantage of the situation, but the arrogant man's overbearing tone made him uncontrollably walk to the old man's side.

  He is extremely hateful and likes to bully the weak!

  He drew a line on the ground with his finger between himself and the arrogant man, and said to the latter: "If you have the ability, try crossing this line!"

  Tang Xiaoxia said with a hard air, he vaguely understood that he was actually going to protect the old man beside him.

  That line separated Tang Xiaoxia and the old man from the couple, looking like there was nothing special about it. However, Tang Xiaoxia somehow gained confidence and believed that the arrogant man would absolutely not cross this line!

  For a moment, he was somewhat depressed. He had seen many heroic scenes where the hero saves the beauty, but now he was so sure, so confident, and with such a masculine demeanor, yet he was protecting an old man who didn't even know what was going on!

  The old man is just an old man! But this elderly gentleman, who is no longer young, has a surprisingly tender name in the enemy's mouth. The arrogant man just called him "Pure Truth"!

  Wow, so pure! Tang Xiaoxia couldn't help but take another look at the old man with a big white beard. He saw that the arrogant man was about to throw a punch, and his first reaction was to dodge, as such a large fist would surely send Tang Xiaoxia flying if it hit him.

  However, the arrogant man's fist suddenly relaxed when it was about to cross the line that Tang Xiaoxia had just drawn. He seemed to want to grab Tang Xiaoxia's collar and lift him into mid-air to humiliate him thoroughly!

  Water, something like water stands thinly on the surface of that line, the water is light blue, and the man's hand passing through that layer of shallow blue ** becomes very slow.

  Tang Xiaoxia saw that the hand passing through the layer was actually corroded away bit by bit, and the corroded hand slowly flowed down with dark green liquid. He looked at the arrogant man's face twisted in pain, and the feeling of having power made Tang Xiaoxia suddenly feel a little dizzy.

  The charming woman couldn't help but cry out when she saw this scene: "Quickly withdraw your hand, quickly!" The arrogant man's hand withdrew, and he seemed to have used some magic. His twisted and deformed hand emitted a blue glow, gradually recovering its original shape.

  The arrogant man who had his hand healed looked very unwilling to believe that Tang Xiaoxiao could stop him with just a line drawn on the ground. He took a deep breath, as if gathering energy, and Tang Xiaoxiao saw his hand gradually turn red, even emitting some black gas.

  The arrogant man's fist flew over quickly, but was slowed down by the emotionless barrier. In the pale blue mist-like substance, the red color on his hand gradually faded away, and the dark green liquid flowed out of his hand once again. "Withdraw it quickly!" Under the gentle shout of the charming woman, the arrogant man finally gave up reluctantly.

  He once again used his blue light to heal his hand, but due to the consecutive consumption of his powers, he became so weak that he even spat out blood.

  The arrogant man stared at Tang Xiaoxia fiercely, but his momentum was much weaker.

  The enchanting woman regained her relaxed demeanor and said to Tang Xiaoxiao, "This time, we'll let you off, handsome guy. We have the Seven Great Protectors, and Lord Mo Xun is invincible in battle. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet again!"

  After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away lightly. The arrogant man also glared at Tang Xiaoxia with a fierce gaze, and followed the charming woman to walk away.

  Compared with the sudden acquisition of superpowers just now, Tang Xiaoxia is more concerned about the truth of the matter.

  He sighed and asked the old man: "What's going on here?"

  The old man sat down calmly and said to Tang Xiaoxia: "You don't have much time to explain, just remember that after waking up, find a girl named Luosi Qi as soon as possible and buy her a copy of 'Historical Records'."

  Tang Xiaoxia was confused, finding a familiar girl wasn't that easy, he wasn't a cop, just when he wanted to ask the old man more questions, everything around him suddenly turned white and he knew nothing afterwards.
