As Lin Xia's words fell, Zhang Peng's brow furrowed.
But the scene that followed made it subconsciously take a few steps back.
The crowd and the teacher's mouths hung open!
Lin Xia stood up with ease, the vines wrapped around him!
Immediately, he erupted with a powerful airflow, shattering the vines into powder!
It should be known that the teacher's vine skill, though only level one.
Its stats were a respectable 74 points!
How could Lin Xia break free so easily!?
Zhang Peng couldn't help but wonder, what had happened during the time he was away?
"Is this the charm of 82 points in all stats?"
Lin Xia looked down at his hands, he hadn't expected to destroy the vines so easily, and for a moment the difference in stats felt both strange and clear.
Then, he suddenly looked up, staring intently at Zhang Peng, who had snatched his card, "The duel begins now!"
"You, you, you... what do you want to do!?"
Zhang Peng's legs went weak upon seeing the murderous intent in Lin Xia's eyes.
Especially when Lin Xia approached him with a mountain-like pressure, it gave him the urge to kneel and beg for mercy!
Lin Xia ignored Zhang Peng's timid question and pushed off the ground with his heels!
Seeing this, the teacher realized something bad was about to happen!
But before he could intervene, it was all over!
Lin Xia's speed was too fast!
So fast that he didn't even see when he appeared in front of Zhang Peng!
It was as if in the blink of an eye, even faster than that!
"Pfft!"
Lin Xia's left hand, like a sharp blade, pierced Zhang Peng's chest and pulled out his still-beating red organ!
"Crack!"
Lin Xia crushed the heart, a smile of revenge appearing on his lips.
He then quickly withdrew his hand, shaking it in the air until the blood was no longer viscous, and then stopped.
"Wh-what?!"
Zhang Peng's face was filled with horror, he didn't feel any pain at all.
He looked down at the large hole in his body, and before he could be shocked, his vision went black, and he knelt before Lin Xia.
He then slowly collapsed to the ground, blood staining the surroundings.

"Ah--!"
A girl's scream from the crowd sent the students' emotions into an uproar!
Some were so scared they knelt on the ground, muttering to themselves.
Others wore expressions of mixed feelings, shouting "Well done!"
The teacher, like a soulless zombie, stared blankly at Zhang Peng's corpse, unmoving!
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted:
"Lin Xia, run!
"Zhang Peng's family will definitely seek revenge on you!"
This statement immediately drew agreement from some who had been suppressed by Zhang Peng.
"Run? Where can you run?"
The teacher's lifeless voice rang out, "The chairman of Zhang Corporation finally had a son, and you killed him... both you and I will have to pay with our lives for Zhang Peng!"
Speaking of which, the teacher slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with panic and unease, "They're here, they're here!"
Hearing this, Lin Xia frowned and turned to look behind him.
He saw over a dozen people in black suits floating in the air.
Leading them was a beautiful woman in her early twenties.
Lin Xia noticed that only this woman had red light beneath her feet.
This indicated that her strength was not strong, but she was using a prop card to fly.
As for the other several men in black, their strength was extraordinary; those who could fly freely were at least at the Silver Realm!
(Black Iron - Bronze - Silver - Gold - Platinum - Diamond - Master - Grandmaster - King)
"It's Zhang Peng's second sister, Zhang Ting!"
"She came so fast, were these people already waiting nearby?"
Sharp-eyed classmates in the crowd recognized the newcomer.
"Little brother!!"
Zhang Ting landed beside the corpse, helped him up, and seeing that Zhang Peng had long since breathed his last, tears streamed down her face.
As the only boy in the family, Zhang Peng had naturally been doted on to the extreme.
Now, facing his cold corpse, Zhang Ting's rage was self-evident.
"What are you all standing around for?" Zhang Ting cried, holding her brother's body, her voice tearing. "Kill him for me!!"
Upon hearing this, the men in black immediately charged towards Lin Xia.
Even though he knew he was no match for them, Lin Xia still assumed a fighting stance, his face showing no fear.
As for regret, there was none.
Even if he had to do it ten thousand times over, he would kill Zhang Peng ten thousand times!
This wasn't just to complete the system's mission!
As for the consequences, even death, Lin Xia was willing to accept it!
But just as the men in black were about to pounce, figures appeared in front of Lin Xia.
They formed a barrier, causing the men in black to stop in their tracks.
Lin Xia was also surprised. These people who suddenly appeared, men and women, old and young, he didn't recognize any of them.
But from their distinct uniforms, he could tell they were all associated with various guilds.
Guilds were organizations where the atmosphere was like family, where members could explore secret realms together, share experiences, and help each other.
"Hello, Lin Xia, I am Wang Jie, the guild leader of the Blazing Blade Guild."
A tall, thin man in a white uniform, around forty years old, spoke first.
Following him, the others introduced themselves.
"This Humble One is the Guild Leader of the Blue Map Guild..."
"This Old Man is the Guild Leader of the South Mountain Guild..."
"I am the Young Guild Leader of the Lingran Guild; my father is unwell, so he sent me..."
"...Hello."
Lin Xia wasn't foolish; he naturally knew these people were here to help.
But with the representatives of the city's major guilds all appearing at once, he couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
"What do you want?!"
Zhang Ting gently placed her brother's body on the ground, then stood up and asked fiercely.
"Miss Zhang, you and I both know that Young Master Zhang was the one who initiated the duel invitation."
Wang Jie spoke with refined elegance, his tone unhurried. "The teacher who allowed private duels should be responsible for this tragedy."
"That's right!" The young guild leader pouted. "Besides, your Zhang family's young master was too weak and was instantly killed. Who can you blame?"
"What did you say!?"
Zhang Ting clenched her fists, about to erupt in anger, but was stopped by the men in black behind her.
"Miss, the Chairman wants us to return first. The Young Master's matter is not over."
The man in black whispered in Zhang Ting's ear.
Hearing this, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family regained some composure.
She knew that continuing to make a scene now would not only be unsightly but also unreasonable.
So, she picked up her brother's body, gave Lin Xia a fierce glare, and left with her entourage.
Seeing this, Lin Xia's tensed nerves relaxed.
