Tang Zhong walked up to the person responsible for task submissions and handed over the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon.

"I’m here to submit a task."

"The task I previously accepted was to hunt down the Great Demon Jiao Dragon."

"What you’re seeing now is the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon."

Just then, Tang Zhong took out a dragon head.

The Jiao Dragon’s head was no longer bloody, now appearing dry.

The crowd looked on, stunned.

Because that was indeed the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon.

Could it be that this person really killed the Great Demon Jiao Dragon? It’s simply impossible.

The Great Demon Jiao Dragon was an extremely powerful entity, one whose defeat was beyond the abilities of those present.

The people in the Mission Hall were completely taken aback.

Not only them but also those around, like Shi Tianjun, Peng Chaolin, and others.

They also stood quietly, staring at the dragon head. Experienced as they were, they knew the appearance of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon, and the head before them was undeniably that of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon.

Shi Tianjun burst into laughter and said, "So it really is the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon. I can’t believe you actually killed it. Tang Zhong, I certainly underestimated you before." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

While saying this, he glanced at Peng Chaolin nearby: "Teacher Peng, look at what my classmate is holding in his hand."

"Is that the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon? Say something!"

Peng Chaolin’s face turned absolutely grim, naturally recognizing it as the head of the Great Demon Jiao Dragon. However, he couldn’t believe that this person had truly killed the Great Demon Jiao Dragon.

He must have had help.

"You must have had help completing the task, otherwise, with your ability, how could you possibly kill the Great Demon Jiao Dragon? You absolutely deserve punishment!" Peng Chaolin spoke viciously.

Tang Zhong smirked and said, "I don’t recall anything about the task restrictions stating that assistance is forbidden. On what grounds would you punish me? Moreover, do you know whether I had help or not? I think it’s absolutely necessary to inform the school and have you expelled. How can someone like you be a teacher, always making baseless accusations against others without any evidence?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Chaolin clenched his fists, glaring at Tang Zhong venomously: "You..."

"What about me? Do you want to kill me?" Tang Zhong replied calmly.

"If you want to kill me, go ahead and try. I’ll be right here waiting for you."

"I’ll only wait for you this once."

Tang Zhong stood there, smiling as he watched Peng Chaolin before him.

If it were outside right now, Peng Chaolin might have acted without a second thought.

But now, within the Academy, Peng Chaolin dared not make any rash moves; all he could do was wait for the right opportunity to attack Tang Zhong.

He didn’t even dare to express anger.

Peng Chaolin could only shake his hand vehemently without saying a word.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong turned to the Mission Pavilion’s staff and said, "I’ve completed my task. Will I have the opportunity to go out for trials?"

The staff replied, "Of course, and as the most outstanding trial participant, you are also going to be awarded a medal by the Academy."

This trial was a full Academy trial, and those who performed excellently would receive medals.

Just like Tang Zhong now, having completed an epic-level task, a medal must be issued!

Tang Zhong, upon hearing this, laughed and addressed the personnel responsible for awarding tasks: "May I choose the person to award me the medal?"

"Certainly!" replied the person responsible.

"Great, then I want him to present it to me!" Tang Zhong pointed at Peng Linchao ahead.

The people around were stunned, not expecting it to be Peng Linchao.

This guy must be doing it deliberately!

Shi Tianjun almost laughed out loud, wondering why his student was acting so mischievously. It would certainly infuriate Peng Chaolin!

Indeed, Peng Chaolin was about to explode, trembling all over at that moment!

This person is truly outrageous!

"I won’t..." Peng Chaolin said coldly.

Tang Zhong, seeing this, told the person awarding tasks: "Hear that? He’s refusing to give me the task medal, seems like he’s displeased with me!"

"You!" Peng Chaolin was so angry he was spitting blood! Was this person complaining?

Tang Zhong said this, knowing Peng Chaolin wouldn’t dare defy the situation!

Sure enough, the Mission Hall person, hearing this, looked at Peng Chaolin and said, "Teacher Peng, please award him the task medal!"

The other couldn’t say more, Peng Chaolin could only grit his teeth.

Faced with this situation, he had no means to retaliate!

"Yes!"

The Mission Hall person took out a medal and handed it to Peng Chaolin.

Peng Chaolin accepted the medal and then walked toward Tang Zhong!

Tang Zhong smiled at him and said, "Teacher Peng, I think you should smile when awarding the medal, instead of looking like you’re attending a funeral. It’s quite unappealing, almost unsightly!"

You...

Peng Chaolin was so angry that he spat blood; asking him to smile was a joke, he simply couldn’t.

Tang Zhong, seeing Peng Linchao’s expression, said, "Why? Giving me that look as if you want to kill me? If you want to try, go right ahead!"

He’s not afraid of Peng Linchao; if Peng Linchao dares to act, he’d dispose of him without bearing any responsibility!

However, Peng Linchao didn’t act as Tang Zhong hoped, despite his grim expression, he handed over the medal to Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong reached out and accepted the medal.

Though Peng Linchao didn’t immediately let go, holding the medal tightly, he hissed quietly, "Kid, just you wait. Within this Spring Autumn Academy, I will make your life unbearable!"

Tang Zhong replied, "I’ll wait!"

Then he forcefully tugged, attempting to retrieve the medal.

Peng Linchao didn’t immediately release his grip, continuing to hold onto the medal; he wouldn’t give it up that easily.

If given away, it would be too humiliating.

As Tang Zhong applied force, Peng Linchao did the same.

Suddenly, a cold smile appeared on Tang Zhong’s face. Exerting pressure with his fingers, the medal was crushed instantly.

Tang Zhong immediately withdrew his hand, stepping back.

The remaining half of the medal was now in Peng Linchao’s hand; his expression turned sour.

Tang Zhong laughed, saying, "Teacher Peng, I never imagined you’d be such a person!"

"I understand you don’t wish to give me the medal, but there’s no need to destroy it, is there?"

Peng Linchao angrily replied, "That’s nonsense, I never intended to destroy the medal, clearly you smashed it!"

Peng Linchao could vouch for himself, claiming he never intended to destroy the medal, it was the other’s actions.

Indeed, Tang Zhong broke it, but is there any evidence that he did? No.

Immediately, Tang Zhong laughed, "But right now, that medal is in your hand!"
