Perfectly Achieved

Su Bingyao was terrified that her son was merely acting out of bravado; after all, Pang Hu's strength surpassed her son's, and Pang Hu was an experienced brawler while her son had never fought before. If they truly came to blows, he would inevitably suffer.

"Without your dad, you're nothing but trash."

"Haha, go to hell, Li Ziyang!"

Pang Hu roared with laughter. Seeing Li Ziyang actually accept his challenge, he knew his plan had succeeded. Li Ziyang's father had already stepped down, meaning he was out of the running. If he could just take care of Li Ziyang, he would not only secure first place in the competition but also solidify his status at school once again.

"Swish, swish!"

Two friction sounds rang out.

Amidst the astonished and confused gazes of the crowd, the Ghost Hand on Li Ziyang's back steadily caught the bone spikes thrown by the Mad Demon Porcupine.

Li Ziyang did not slow his pace. As he ran, the Ghost Hand behind him suddenly flipped, turning the tips of the bone spikes around, and he calmly spat out:

"Return to sender!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Two piercing sounds tore through the air, flashing like lightning across the arena and leaving two visible white streaks in their wake.

Pang Hu never imagined that the bone spikes he had thrown would be caught barehanded by Li Ziyang and hurled back with even greater force.

Terrified, he scrambled backward, but his escape trajectory had already been locked by Li Ziyang; how could he possibly get away so easily?

"Clang, clang!"

One bone spike drove directly into the ground in front of Pang Hu's path.

The other bone spike sealed off his retreat.

Pang Hu's figure faltered, trapped in a dilemma. In that split second of hesitation, Li Ziyang leaped forward, the Ghost Hand behind him suddenly splaying wide, its entire palm pressing down onto Pang Hu's fat, pig-like head.

With a loud "BOOM!", Pang Hu's boar-like head was slammed into the ground by the Ghost Hand, cracking the floor with several fissures.

"Ah!"

Pang Hu let out a shrill scream, his head nearly deforming under the pressure of the massive Ghost Hand. He tried to resist, but the moment he started to rise, the terrifying hand slammed him back into the dirt.

Two intimate encounters with the ground left his mind completely blank.

But he wasn't a pushover either; he gave his body a violent shake, and the bone spikes covering him scattered outward like a rain of arrows.

Yet, the next second, he found Li Ziyang still standing right in front of him.

The two Ghost Hands on Li Ziyang's back had fully extended like a shield, blocking all the incoming bone spikes. Moreover, the Ghost Hands were incredibly hard, causing all the spikes to be deflected to the ground.

The look in Pang Hu's eyes as he stared at Li Ziyang was as if he had seen a ghost.

When he saw the Ghost Hand form a massive fist, ready to smash into his skull, he let out a squeal of terror. All his arrogance vanished; he crawled to Li Ziyang's feet, banging his head against the floor and begging incessantly:

"I surrender, I surrender! Li Ziyang, I surrender."

Pang Hu was so scared he reverted to his original form, kowtowing to Li Ziyang and begging for mercy.

By now, Pang Hu had completely transformed into a pig's head, bruised and swollen, looking utterly wretched.

Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the massive Ghost Hand behind Li Ziyang plucked Pang Hu off the ground, holding him up like a chick.

"So, you still dare to bully people at school?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare! I'll never dare again!" Pang Hu stammered, his entire body trembling.

Li Ziyang's gaze was icy cold as he barked, "My dad killed your dad. Will you hold a grudge?"

Pang Hu was so terrified he shook his head frantically: "No, no! Even if you killed my mom, I wouldn't hold a grudge."

"Hmph, if I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be able to stop me either!"

Li Ziyang snorted coldly and tossed Pang Hu onto the arena floor like trash.

Pang Hu's entire body ached from the impact, but he didn't even dare to let out a cry. He scrambled over from the ground, his face full of terror as he said, "From now on at school, I'll listen to you. You're my boss."

Li Ziyang narrowed his eyes, looking at the person who had bullied him countless times. Now that Pang Hu was kneeling before him like a dog, he remembered what his father had said: the kind are bullied by others, and an eye for an eye is the best method!

He had done it. From now on, he would never be bullied by anyone again, nor would he be stumped by any difficulty.

"Get lost. If I ever find out you're bullying anyone at school again, I'll make sure you end up just like your father!"

The Ghost Hands on Li Ziyang's back retracted into his body. He looked down at the cowering Pang Hu on the ground as if he were looking at a pathetic worm.

"I'm going, I'm going right now."

Pang Hu didn't even dare to lift his head. He crawled toward the edge of the arena, trembling, and ignoring the stares of the crowd, he scrambled out of the school.

Li Ziyang stood on the stage, looking at the parents and students below.

The students in the crowd who had once participated in the bullying felt an inexplicable tremor under Li Ziyang's gaze.

If the school bully Pang Hu had been defeated, how could they, a bunch of sycophants, dare to stand against Li Ziyang?

Teacher Zhang, hiding in the crowd, saw that the situation had turned sour and quietly tried to slip away.

However, Li Ran appeared right behind her.

Teacher Zhang turned deathly pale with fright, her heels clicking as she backed away.

"Where is Teacher Zhang going?"

Su Bingyao stood in front of Teacher Zhang, her beautiful eyes radiating a chilling frost.

"Bingyao, what are you doing?"

Teacher Zhang felt a shiver run down her spine under that gaze, and she forced a smile that even she felt looked hideous. "Bingyao, is there some kind of misunderstanding between us?"

"Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, I think you know best in your heart. I'll say this now: if I ever hear again that my child is being subjected to corporal punishment or any other bad news at this school, you will be the first person I go after!"

Terrible snake scales emerged across Su Bingyao's face, her gaze incomparably cold and sinister.

The surrounding temperature plummeted instantly, as if they had entered the dead of winter.

Li Ran stared at Su Bingyao, his heart filled with shock.

He realized at this moment that Su Bingyao's Mysterious Power was rising, jumping directly from 100 to 200, surpassing Teacher Zhang's value. The surge was astonishing, and what shocked Li Ran even more was that Su Bingyao had also advanced from B-rank to A-rank, a perfect and successful breakthrough.

"It wasn't until last night that I found out what kind of bullying my child was suffering at school. And you, as my former best friend, not only failed to look after my child, but you actually intensified the corporal punishment and let other students bully him. What right do you have to be a teacher?"

"I will write a report and expose everything that has happened here!" Su Bingyao's icy eyes stared coldly at Teacher Zhang.

"Bingyao, please, I was wrong, okay? Don't report me!"

Teacher Zhang was so terrified that she knelt on the ground. If Su Bingyao reported what happened here, the principal would be the first to make her pay, and she might not even survive the night.

Teacher Zhang's assistant was also terrified; she knelt down on the spot, begging Su Bingyao not to report them.

"That's easy for you to say, you snake-hearted woman. Don't think I don't know you've been finding ways to send threatening gifts to my home. Reporting you is the greatest mercy I can show!" Su Bingyao's anger surged, and the temperature dropped to freezing.

At this moment, Li Ran stepped forward, cold light flashing in his eyes. "Since things have reached this point, I think it's better to lay everything out in the open."

Li Ran looked at Su Bingyao. "That text message was most likely sent by her ordering a student to do it, with the goal of destroying our family's happiness."

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang trembled violently, her lips quivering. "I... I don't understand what you're talking about. Wh... what text message?"

When a person is in a state of panic, the expression of a lie cannot be hidden.

(Her expression has already betrayed her.)

Seeing the prompt from his golden finger, it was exactly as Li Ran had suspected.

A child acting like a mistress to destroy someone else's family?

It sounded absurd; clearly, someone was pulling the strings.

And that mastermind was right before his eyes.

Su Bingyao looked at Li Ran in shock. "You knew about the text message?"

Li Ran naturally wouldn't mention the golden finger's prompt. He looked at Su Bingyao. "Actually, I always knew, but before I found concrete evidence, you wouldn't have believed anything I said."

Su Bingyao looked at her husband in disbelief. So he knew all along. For so long, he had endured her suspicions, questioning, verbal abuse, and all sorts of unreasonable tantrums. Even after she forced a divorce, he hadn't given up on the family, bearing everything in silence without a single complaint.

Yet she had never understood her husband, never asked what he wanted in his heart, and never even listened to a word of his explanation.

Su Bingyao, oh Su Bingyao, you have deeply hurt the person who loved you.

"Waa~!"

Thinking of this, Su Bingyao could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

All this time, she had wronged her husband.

It turned out that behind the prank text messages was her former best friend.

She couldn't accept it, and she couldn't forgive the snake-hearted woman who wanted to destroy her family.

If she had still held a shred of pity due to their past friendship before, her eyes were now cold to the extreme. Tears slid down her cheeks, turning into two cold ice crystals that shattered upon hitting the ground.

A surge of frost erupted from Su Bingyao's body, and in an instant, she transformed into a Frost Giant Python.

Before the horrified and disbelieving eyes of everyone, the Frost Giant Python swallowed the still-arguing Teacher Zhang in one gulp.

Teacher Zhang didn't even have time to scream before she was consumed by the Frost Giant Python.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence once more!

Everyone was struck with shock and awe!

Li Ran didn't care at all. In this Weird World, there were no rules to begin with; even if you destroyed this place beyond recognition, the world would still find a way to function automatically.

His cold gaze swept over the people present. "For this parent-child activity, Li Ziyang's family takes first place. Does anyone have a problem with that?"

Those who met his gaze looked away, and no one dared to say a word for the deceased Teacher Zhang.

Students, parents, and assistants—not a single one dared to speak. Li Ziyang's family had not only defeated the school bully but also punished the snake-hearted teacher. The moment Su Bingyao ate Teacher Zhang, it shattered their arrogance; who would dare to step forward and court death?

"Since there are no objections, go get the rewards." Li Ran glared at the assistant.

"I... I'll go right now." The assistant scrambled to her feet and ran inside, terrified.

Su Bingyao returned to normal and walked to Li Ran's side, her face covered in tears of regret. "Hu... Husband, I... I was wrong."

Li Ran froze, looking at the teary-eyed Su Bingyao.

At this moment, Su Bingyao was so pitiful and endearing that it tugged at his heartstrings.

He could no longer control himself and pulled her tightly into his arms.
