Invitation to a Duel, an Old House With a Long History

However, this also meant that the person who accepted or sent the invitation needed to be extremely courageous.

After all, after entering the duel zone, everything was unknown. If the other party did not agree to reconcile, they would fight to the death until only one person was left.

The reason why Lin Xiu issued a duel invitation to Wan Zhuoyun was mainly to suppress the arrogance of the other party. In addition, his Class, Unspecialized, had a huge advantage in the early stages. The other party was just a small Warrior, and it was impossible for Wan Zhuoyun to win.

Therefore, Lin Xiu's safety was also guaranteed.

However, speaking of which, if the other party really accepted the duel, Lin Xiu would not really kill the other party. If he really did that, what awaited him would be the thunderous revenge of the Wan Family.

Before he became a Third Transition Class, he did not dare to truly anger them.

However, he believed that with Wan Zhuoyun's cowardly personality and courage, he would definitely not dare to accept the duel invitation.

As he expected, Wan Zhuoyun's face turned pale when he saw the System interface that had appeared in front of him.

The gaze he looked at Lin Xiu with was filled with fear and uneasiness. His lips became bloodless, and his entire body trembled like a sieve.

He did not expect that Lin Xiu actually really had killing intent towards him!

Thinking of this, Wan Zhuoyun subconsciously ran toward the direction of the training ground, not daring to look at Lin Xiu again.

Cheng Xiaofeng looked at Wan Zhuoyun's staggering back and suddenly thought of something. He immediately shouted at him, "Hey friend, are you the user with the ID ending with the numbers '1977'? Here's your order."

Hearing a shout coming from behind him, Wan Zhuoyun stopped in his tracks once again, his gaze glancing at the young man behind him who was holding a potion box.

At this moment, his expression was as ugly as eating sh*t. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and took the potion box from the other party, then ran away dejectedly.

When he came, Wan Zhuoyun still had an arrogant look on his face, but now he had turned into a rat that ran across the street and fled with his tail between his legs.

This contrast made Lin Xiu almost laugh out loud.

"I didn't expect that my client would be him. What a coincidence."

"I just hope that the other party won't give me a bad review. Otherwise, the delivery guy I helped will suffer an undeserved disaster," Cheng Xiaofeng shrugged and said helplessly.

"Don't worry. A timid guy like him definitely won't dare to give a bad review."

"It's getting late. I have to go back. See you next time."

The two of them parted ways at the door. Lin Xiu turned around and left Fuyuan Academy, rushing in the direction of his home.

At the same time, Wan Zhuoyun returned to the training room with the potion box.

In this huge training room, there were all kinds of training equipment placed around, which could help Classes improve their physical fitness.

The central area was the sparring ground. The surroundings were made of special materials that were resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. They could use their moves without any worries.

Closing the door of the training room, Wan Zhuoyun placed the potion box beside the sparring ground. Only then did the fear in his heart slowly subside.

"What's wrong? You're sweating after going out."

Ding Shiyu dispersed the wind blades around her and immediately walked out of the sparring ground. She looked at the absent-minded Wan Zhuoyun and asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I just ran into an acquaintance and was delayed for a while."

Wan Zhuoyun took out a small bottle of Magic Power Recovery Potion from the potion box and forced a smile.

"So mysterious... Continue sparring with me. "

Ding Shiyu said with a faint smile as she received the potion from Wan Zhuoyun.

"Uh... You go ahead and practice, I'll rest for a while."

Wan Zhuoyun avoided his gaze and turned around to sit on a chair at the side.

Although Ding Shiyu felt that it was a little strange, she did not think too much about it and continued practicing.

She held her Apprentice Staff and continuously used her mental strength to condense wind blades, cutting at the surrounding walls.

Countless cracks appeared on the translucent glass wall, but in just a few breaths, the cracks disappeared and it was as good as new.

Looking at Ding Shiyu who was training hard, Wan Zhuoyun's hands hidden in his sleeves slowly stopped trembling.

"Lin Xiu! I want you to die a horrible death!"

His eyes were filled with hatred as he clenched his fists.

If it was not for the fact that Lin Xiu had awakened and was a very powerful Unspecialized Class in the early stages, he would not need to fear Lin Xiu at all!

However, even so, Wan Zhuoyun would not swallow his anger.

Even if the Lin Family still had some strength to resist and they could not forcefully annex it in a short period of time, he could completely set up a trap in the dark and kill Lin Xiu in advance.

Regardless of whether it was out of consideration for the family's interests, or out of his monstrous hatred towards Lin Xiu, Wan Zhuoyun had sufficient reasons to kill the other party.

After making up his mind, Wan Zhuoyun's mood slowly calmed down. He continued to spar with Ding Shiyu and train his actual combat experience.

...

Half an hour later, Lin Xiu rode his bicycle through the streets and alleys. At this time, most of the modern high-rise buildings on both sides of the road had disappeared. Everywhere was filled with ancient buildings that were full of antique charm.

The scenery here was pleasant. There were trees everywhere that were filled with lush greenery. A seven-to-eight-meter-wide river ran through the entire residential area, bringing a lot of coolness to the place.

At the beginning of the Lin Family's development, the elders had chosen this old residential area as their residence.

However, at the beginning, there were not many people in the family, so there were not many rooms in the house. The area was only 1,000 or 2,000 square meters.

Later on, as the family flourished, the living space in the house was limited, so the elders began to expand.

The Lin Family had developed for 100 years, and the old house had been expanded twice.

From the initial 1,000 square meters, the total area of the expansion was now about three hectares.

Looking at the grand and imposing entrance of the old mansion that was filled with traces of time, Lin Xiu's heart could not help but feel somewhat heavy.

Having lived here for more than ten years, he had a deep affection for every inch of land here.

Even though the living experience here was not as good as the modern mansions in the city center, there was sentimental value here. These were not things that cold high-tech could fill.

He parked his school bike at the door, stepped through the door, and immediately walked in the direction of the main house.

Passing through the hall and through the house, Lin Xiu greeted the elders he met one after another. Very quickly, he arrived at the slightly cold main house.

If it was in the past, not only would there be servants cleaning the house, but the other uncles in the family would also visit frequently.

However, everything changed with his father's disappearance.

The entire clan had lost the protection of a Third Transition Class, so their deterrence to the outside world was not as great as before.

Not only were there often people causing trouble in the businesses run by the family, but the two rival families were also openly and secretly occupying their territories.

If it was not for the fact that the other uncles were all Second Transition Classes and above level 50, who still had the strength to fight against the invaders... Perhaps the decline of the family would have come even faster.
