"It's that outsider again, I bet he doesn't dare to take up the challenge this time."

"Even if he does, he'll surely get beaten black and blue. You know, Carter still holds a grudge about that day."

"What a pity, how can someone like that hang around Senior Sister Xiao Manxue every day?"

Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian and said softly, "Lin Tian, why don't I deal with him..."

"No need." Lin Tian said indifferently, turning and walking into the arena, standing opposite Carter.

"He's here, he's here, the outsider finally accepted the challenge."

"Last time he relied on Yuwen Luofei to escape, I wonder what he'll do this time."

"What else can he do, he'll take a beating. I just hope this Carter doesn't lose control. We don't oppose duels, but if someone dies at the academy, it'll be a mess to deal with."

Carter held his sword at an angle, the tip pointing to the ground, and showed a smug yet cruel smile: "Outsider, you finally dare to come up. Don't say I'm bullying an outsider. I'll let you make the first move. Come on!"

Lin Tian, without any expression, stepped towards Carter, walking as if he were just strolling. This baffled everyone, including Carter.

Everyone thought they understood, this outsider really doesn't know martial arts, he's in trouble now. Carter's eyes showed a smile, he was initially worried Lin Tian might be hiding his strength, but now he could rest assured and give a good thrashing to vent his anger.

As Lin Tian reached Carter, he suddenly stretched out his hand. It didn't appear fast, but Carter didn't react at all, and in an instant, his neck was grabbed, lifted like a duck.

"What's going on?"

"Why isn't Carter fighting back?"

The crowd was as dumbfounded as startled ducks, completely unable to understand, while the referees on the judges' bench exchanged bewildered glances.

"You...you..." Carter finally reacted, but couldn't utter a complete sentence, his face flushed red.

However, with a sharp sword in his hand, he wouldn't sit idly by. Carter swung the sword in his hand, slashing it towards Lin Tian's head with full force.

With a "boom," everyone felt a sudden earthquake, but instead of Lin Tian being hit, they saw Lin Tian throw Carter up, then smash him with a punch, sending both man and sword flying.

Carter crashed onto the steps of the referees' stand, shattering them, along with his sword. He opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and passed out immediately.

The teacher hosting the match hurried over, feeling Carter's neck, sighed in relief, and said, "He's still alive, just fainted from injury."

Although he said this, looking at the shattered sword on the ground, felt uneasy; such a sudden change was too much.

The entire place was silent, they hadn't recovered from the shock. It wasn't until a minute later that the murmurs began to rise.

"One punch beat Carter, what kind of strength is that?"

"Beating Carter is nothing, but I couldn't even see his attack clearly. Furthermore, the steel sword was broken by one punch. Such power, I've only seen with Li Wenfeng's senior brothers."

Many couldn't understand Lin Tian's attack, how did he suddenly grab Carter's neck? However, at this moment, they raised Lin Tian to the same level as Li Wenfeng.

Like a student who was usually a poor performer suddenly acing a test, rivaling top students and geniuses, it undoubtedly left everyone amazed.

Lin Tian didn't even glance at Carter, turned around, and left the arena, walking straight out of the field. As he passed by Miss, he said softly, "I'll follow them first; you handle the aftermath."

"Alright." Xiao Manxue nodded in agreement.

Every student made way for Lin Tian, no one dared to stop him, allowing him to smoothly leave the field, then detour to a secluded spot out of sight.

"Ding dong"

Again, the sound of a phone notification. Lin Tian took it out and saw it was Rossi's report: Brother Tian, Li Wenfeng has left the Knight Academy, hurry to the Female College Mage Tower.

Lin Tian halted his steps, turned back, and returned to the Female College. The campus was unusually quiet, as everyone was either participating in or cheering on the selection competition.

Upon reaching the Mage Tower, Rossi emerged from a corner and pointed to the top of the Mage Tower: "Brother Tian, Li Wenfeng just went up there, not sure what he's up to?"

"I'll go up and have a look, you stay here and keep watch." Lin Tian ordered, then entered the Mage Tower.

When he reached the top of the Mage Tower, he found an identical timing device at the summit. Li Wenfeng stood before a crystal, occasionally glancing at his watch, making no other movements.

What is Li Wenfeng waiting for? Lin Tian hid in the corner, pondering. Just as he thought this, Li Wenfeng raised his wrist to look at his watch again.

A watch? Lin Tian had an epiphany; yes, Li Wenfeng must be waiting for a specific time node. Lin Tian checked the time on his phone; it was five minutes to noon.

Noon? Li Wenfeng is waiting for noon! Lin Tian immediately deduced Li Wenfeng's intention.

Time ticked by, and as Li Wenfeng looked at the time again, his expression suddenly became serious, perhaps a little tense.

He took something from his pocket, a black hexagram with a metallic sheen. He pressed the hexagram onto the crystal's base. With a 'click,' a groove appeared in the base, identical in shape to the hexagram, and the hexagram fell perfectly into it.

With the hexagram's insertion, a clicking sound was heard again, like gears turning, and the crystal began to rotate slowly. Though it turned slowly, it was much faster than before.

At midday, the sun shone directly on the crystal, and Li Wenfeng put on sunglasses he took from his pocket, then stared at the crystal.

This behavior was peculiar; perhaps ordinary people would worry about the strong sunlight harming their vision, but Li Wenfeng, a cultivator, wouldn't. So, the sunglasses were not for show but had another purpose.

Since there's no point in showing off in such solitude, there must be another motive.

Maybe they're not sunglasses at all. Lin Tian thought of this and instantly activated his super vision, witnessing a different scene.

As the crystal rotated continuously, a nearly invisible light beam shot out towards the distant Knight Hall.

This beam hit the crystal at the top of the Knight Hall, which was also rotating at a particular speed. At the same time, the Knight Hall's crystal refracted a light beam, directing it away from the original path.

However, this beam did not return the same way; it was shot to a small hill hundreds of meters away from Knight Hall.

"Found it!" Li Wenfeng exclaimed excitedly.
