"You're talking nonsense, Carter! How dare you slander Lin Tian. See how I'll deal with you!" Zhu Li shouted loudly, the little girl even swore, which shows how angry she was.

"I'm slandering him? Whether it's slander or not, let's go up and search, and it will be clear at a glance." Carter seemed unafraid, responding sharply.

"Nonsense, there are so many girls living here, do you think I'll let you go up and search?" Zhu Li sneered.

With a clanging sound, Xiao Manxue had already pulled out the Hua Ying Sword in her hand, pointing the blade coldly at Kote, saying, "Get out of here, or I'll use you to consecrate my new sword!"

Seeing the sword's cold light, Carter shivered, and the other male students weren't much better off, trembling. Even though the Hua Ying Sword had just appeared yesterday, its fame had spread across the two academies overnight, with some even saying it was the Divine Sword.

"So noisy, can't a person get some sleep?" Lin Tian suddenly emerged from the crowd, and Carter and his group were scared and retreated together.

"You... you..." Carter pointed at Lin Tian, speechless for a long time.

"Oh, now you act all timid after being so cocky just now?" Lin Tian sneered.

Carter calmed down a bit and said, "Who knows if you're a monster or not. Everyone, don't be fooled by his appearance; vampires have human-like appearances too."

"What do you want, then?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

Carter took out a bottle from his person and said, "This is a potion concocted by an alchemist, specifically to suppress monsters and vampires. If you have nothing to hide, drink it."

"Carter, my words still stand. Leave immediately, or blood will be shed today." Xiao Manxue said impatiently, being blocked at the door early in the morning with someone accusing Lin Tian of being a monster, which was really asking for a beating.

"Mr. Xiao, don't be so rude. It's just a drink. I'm thirsty anyway." Lin Tian said with a faint smile. Xiao Manxue glared at him, thinking she was clearly helping him, yet he called her rude.

Lin Tian suddenly reached out, and before Carter could react, the bottle was in Lin Tian's hand. Under everyone's gaze, Lin Tian tilted his head back and drank the potion in one go.

Carter nervously watched Lin Tian, even though he kept saying Lin Tian was a monster, his heart was pounding. If Lin Tian really was a monster, how could he possibly fight him?

"Boo!" Lin Tian suddenly shouted at Carter with a fierce expression.

Carter jumped up in fright and then retreated, shouting, "There's a reaction! There's a reaction! He's a monster, catch him quickly..."

But after shouting for a while, nothing happened. He looked back to find the girls looking at him as if he were an idiot, and his male companions were equally embarrassed.

Turning back to Lin Tian, he saw Lin Tian smiling at him warmly, where was there any sign of a monster?

"You..." Carter pointed at Lin Tian, confused and suspicious.

"Hahaha..." The girls burst into laughter, as if laughing at an idiot. No, they were indeed laughing at an idiot.

"Vice Captain Carter, I drank the potion. Do you have anything else to say?" Lin Tian said flatly.

Carter's eyes flickered as he said, "I... I have nothing to say. Sorry for disturbing, goodbye."

Seeing things weren't going well, he signaled to his companions and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned, he found Lin Tian blocking his way. In a flash, Lin Tian grabbed him by the shoulder, and no matter how he dodged, he couldn't match Lin Tian's speed.

"What... what do you want?" Carter asked fearfully.

"Early in the morning, you blocked my door and slandered me. Now you want to leave without a word? Do you think it's that easy?" Lin Tian sneered.

"I'm... I'm sorry, I apologize." Carter gritted his teeth and said.

"If apologies were enough, why would men have fists?" Lin Tian said coldly. Before he could figure out the meaning, Lin Tian's fist already smashed down.

With a loud bang, Lin Tian's punch landed on Carter's chest, sending Carter flying like a cannonball. With another bang, he crashed into a flower bed, smashing the stones into pieces, and Carter was embedded in the soil.

Straightforwardly, Carter spat out a mouthful of blood, tilted his head, and passed out.

"Vice... Vice Captain?" A male student tentatively called out, but didn't dare approach, afraid of provoking Lin Tian and having that fist land on him. The power of that punch was something they couldn't withstand.

"Lin Tian, did you kill him?" Zhu Li asked quietly.

"No." Lin Tian smiled softly, then turned to Carter's companions and said, "Now take your vice-captain back for treatment. If you do it now, there might not be any aftereffects, but if you dawdle, I can't guarantee it."

The troublemaking male students finally woke up, hurriedly ran over, picked up Carter, and rushed out.

"Wait!" Lin Tian suddenly said, and their faces changed, thinking Lin Tian had changed his mind. Lin Tian continued coldly, "When he wakes up, tell your vice-captain if there's a next time, it won't just be a few broken bones. I'll disable his martial arts, understood?"

"Understood. Can we leave now?" a male student asked cautiously.

"Get out!" Lin Tian shouted.

The group received a reprieve and ran away with Carter. Whether it would cause additional harm to Carter was not their concern now; their own lives were more important.

"Hahaha..."

Watching a group of people flee embarrassed, the girls laughed again. They never had a good impression of the vice-captain of this pickup squad.

"Lin Tian, these people are too detestable. Do you want me to report to Mentor Reina?" Zhu Li said angrily.

Lin Tian waved his hand and said, "No need. With such a fuss, the teachers would surely know, but they didn't show up, which means our little scuffle is nothing in their eyes. As long as no one dies, they probably won't care."

"But..." Zhu Li still felt aggrieved about Lin Tian being slandered.

Xiao Manxue patted her shoulder, saying, "Zhu Li, don't be angry. Reporting to the mentor won't help. The academy has a free-range management style."

"How can you smile? Aren't you angry?" Zhu Li asked, puzzled by Lin Tian's calm demeanor.

Lin Tian said lightly, "Why be angry? Someone volunteered to be a punching bag for you to stretch your muscles. You should be happy."

"I don't have your strength to face things calmly," Zhu Li said resentfully.

"Learn slowly; you'll become strong eventually. Remember this: as a knight, you can be honest and kind, but it doesn't mean being foolish. You must respond forcefully to provocation," Lin Tian said seriously.

"When lines like that are said in TV shows, isn't it the time for parting?" Zhu Li said, looking at Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue with reluctance.
