Chapter 53

[Hey, a student who doesn’t know her limits actually dared to challenge a teacher openly. Why is she so rude? Doesn’t she know how to respect her elders?]
[Sorry, but let me remind you. Zoe is the heiress of the Evans family, who was recently brought back from a small town. Naturally, her manners are poor. I bet she hasn’t been to school for long.]
[And I heard that she and Mr. Shelton have a life–or–death competition. The loser has to die, and she was the one who proposed it.]
[Oh my god, I’ve never seen someone so eager to get themselves killed before.]
The entire venue, both online and offline, erupted into a frenzy. However, there was a unanimous consensus among everyone present, including Zack, that Zoe was definitely going to lose.
Zack placed one hand behind his back and shouted, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Today, I won’t go easy on you just because you’re a student at Highcrest University. Zoe, prepare to meet your end.”
With a roar of fury, Zack threw a punch that seemed to carry the wind with it, launching an unstoppable assault toward Zoe.
At this critical moment, Eunice, Herbert, and Jacob all clenched their fists in tension.
Cheryl, on the other hand, screamed with all her might, “Zoe, don’t forget what you said. Don’t back down now. The loser is supposed to die.”
Boom. At that moment, Zack’s fist was already right in front of Zoe.
His fighting prowess lay in his years of experience and technique. Before throwing this punch, Zack had used his signature move. He stepped back with his right leg, initially assuming a stance to throw a punch, and then lunged forward.
He channeled the force from his back leg through his entire body, concentrating it into his right fist. It was a thunderous and piercing strike.
During matches, Zack usually reserved this killer move for the final moments to secure victory. When the audience, familiar with his habits, realized this, they were electrified.
“Ah, it’s Mr. Shelton’s signature move, the right hook. He only used this in the final, crucial moments before. And Zack just went all out from the start. Zoe is done for this time,” someone shouted.
“Even if Zoe doesn’t die, she’ll be half–dead after this,” another voice added.
“Goodness, I can’t even bear to watch Zoe’s miserable fate. She’s going to be in such a sorry state,” someone else remarked.
Amidst the roaring crowd, when they focused their attention on Zoe, they saw that compared to Zack’s imposing momentum, she was calm and composed, casually placing one hand in her pocket with a cold, languid demeanor.
She didn’t seem like she was about to fight at all; rather, she looked like she was frozen in place.
“Is she just going to stand there and let Mr. Shelton use her as a punching bag?” someone wondered aloud.
“I wonder how she’s going to get thrown off the stage,” another person speculated.
“Has the ambulance been called yet? It would be terrible if she dies before even leaving the gymnasium,” someone else chimed in.
At that very moment, Zack’s fist was just inches away from Zoe’s face,
The powerful punch, as it traveled through the air, generated a strong gust of wind that rustled the small flags around the stage, making a rustling sound
It was almost too late. Just as everyone thought Zoe would be sent flying by this punch, a shocking turn of events occurred.
In the face of Zack’s thunderous attack, Zoe simply curled her lips into a cold smile. She raised her hand, clenched it into a fist, and met Zack’s punch head–on
Bang The sound of their fats colliding sent a jolt through everyone present.
Before the crowd could even process what had happened, they witnessed something so astonishing that it was hard to believe. In just a split second, their first exchange had ended.
Zack was propelled backward by an unimaginable force, spinning like a top. With a loud thud, he was sent flying off the stage and crashed heavily onto the ground.
