SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Slow Healing, Regret from Uncle Li

TL: YYang

“It seems you all know now.” Zhou Yi smiled, not surprised.

“Brother, I heard that every profession gets its own exclusive skills after transferring. Do you have any skills now that you’ve become a Saint Knight?” Zhou Yun asked curiously.

Sister Wang leaned in, clearly curious as well.

“Exclusive skills? Of course.” Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

Every profession gains exclusive skills after transferring.

For example, Mages have the Mage’s Hand, and Assassins have Dagger Mastery.

After transferring to Saint Knight, Zhou Yi naturally gained his own exclusive skills.

These exclusive skills were three in total: Pure White Blade, Slow Healing, and Weapon Blessing.

Pure White Blade and Weapon Blessing were for attacking, while Slow Healing could be used to restore health.

He decided to try it on his little sister.

With a thought, Zhou Yi softly commanded:

“Slow Healing!!”

Buzz~~

Accompanied by a faint wave of magical energy, a soft green, life-filled aura enveloped Zhou Yun and Sister Wang.

The gentle green glow emitted by the aura brightened the entire room slightly.

“So comfortable!”

Zhou Yun closed her eyes, enjoying the sensation.

She suffered from pain every night, and although medication helped alleviate it, she still felt discomfort and weakness.

But now, under the influence of this energy, she found that all her pain vanished, leaving her feeling as if she were soaking in a warm spring.

“Mm~”

Unlike Zhou Yun’s reaction, Sister Wang let out a soft hum.

It was too comfortable!!

She had experienced priests’ healing spells before, but none had ever given her such a relaxing, full-body massage-like sensation.

[Slow Healing LV1 (C-Rank): Restores a certain amount of health to two teammates within range over 30 seconds.]

Slow Healing was an exclusive skill of the Saint Knight.

While it had a health-restoring effect, it typically didn’t provide much of a special sensation.

The strong reactions from Zhou Yun and Sister Wang were mainly due to Zhou Yi’s S+ Rank talent, Protection of the Holy Angel, which greatly amplified light and divine skills.

Originally, Slow Healing had a duration of 10 seconds and a cooldown of 20 seconds.

But under the Protection of the Holy Angel talent, the duration extended to 30 seconds, and the cooldown shortened to 15 seconds!

This meant that as long as Zhou Yi had enough mana, he could continuously cast Slow Healing!

The 30 seconds passed quickly, and Zhou Yun was still savoring the warmth she had felt.

Sister Wang’s face was slightly flushed.

She hadn’t expected to have such a reaction under a spell.

“Little Yun, how do you feel? Any better?” Zhou Yi asked, looking at Zhou Yun with anticipation.

He chose the Saint Knight profession not only for its strength but also partly because of Zhou Yun’s mysterious illness.

After all, the Saint Knight is also considered a healer profession.

“Yes, yes, I feel much better,” Zhou Yun nodded quickly.

Compared to before, her cheeks were noticeably rosier, though she still appeared somewhat weak.

“That’s good.” Zhou Yi’s expression relaxed.

Previously, even professional priests over level 20 couldn’t do anything about Zhou Yun’s illness.

So he didn’t expect his Slow Healing to cure her.

However, being able to alleviate some of her pain was already a good thing.

After having dinner with his sister Zhou Yun, he reminded her to listen to the doctors and cast Slow Healing on her once more before leaving the hospital.

At this time, he needed to head to his part-time job.

…

At 7 PM.

On Wutong Road, Zhou Yi ran with agility, like a cheetah.

Wutong Road was a small street with few people around.

This allowed him to run at full speed.

Before long, Zhou Yi exited Wutong Road and arrived at Yingbin Avenue.

As he entered the avenue, the number of pedestrians increased, so he slowed his pace to a normal speed.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Yi reached the entrance of a quiet residential complex at the end of the road.

“Beiyan Scenic Community.”

Zhou Yi looked at the serene residential area before him, his eyes flickering.

This community was located in the city center, featuring artificial ponds and abundant greenery. Even the high-rise buildings had sky gardens on each floor.

Besides the high-rise buildings, there were also townhouses.

It’s worth noting—

In this prime real estate area, having such extensive greenery was already impressive.

To have townhouses as well indicated the staggering wealth required to live in such a place.

“One day, I’ll live here too.”

With a flash of determination, Zhou Yi spoke to the metal gate of the community:

“I’m going to building 17, apartment 1703.”

Buzz~~

Above the metal gate, a camera probe shaped like an eyeball extended outward.

“Identity scanning…”

“Identity confirmed, Zhou Yi, visitation rights granted.”

“Magic disguise verification…”

Accompanied by a faint magical wave, a mysterious magic formation appeared in front of the camera, aimed at Zhou Yi.

After the Eternal Game merged with reality, technology and magic developed side by side.

Creations like this, which fused technology and magic, were not uncommon in Zhongxia.

“No magic disguise detected, entry permitted.”

With the final electronic prompt, there was a click, and the metal gate opened.

Zhou Yi stepped inside.

…

Two hours later, in front of apartment 1703.

Zhou Yi stood there, speaking to a middle-aged man:

“Uncle Li, with the college entrance exam approaching, my tutoring work will end today.”

The tutoring job was Zhou Yi’s part-time work, requiring about two hours each day.

Previously, he had to do this part-time job to earn money for medical fees.

But now, with less than a month until the college entrance exam, and with enough money in his bank account to cover his sister Zhou Yun’s medical expenses, he no longer needed to tutor to supplement the household income.

The middle-aged man was a bit surprised at Zhou Yi’s words. After a moment of thought, he said with some regret:

“Although I don’t want you to leave, the college entrance exam is important. Zhou Yi, good luck. And I wish you success in the exam.”

In terms of level, Zhou Yi’s wasn’t particularly high, not even reaching the average.

However, his ability to demonstrate impressive combat power with unremarkable four-dimensional attributes was something many couldn’t achieve.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have hired Zhou Yi as his daughter’s private tutor.

“Brother Yi won’t be coming anymore?”

Suddenly, a graceful figure rushed out from the room.

It was a delicate young girl who looked about 15 years old, in the prime of her youth.

She wore a loose training outfit, her pretty face full of surprise.

“The college entrance exam is coming up, so I need to focus on training,” Zhou Yi nodded.

This young girl was his tutoring student, Li Wanting.

She was a freshman at the First High School.

Her level had already reached 9, and in a short time, she would reach level 10 and transfer early.

Moreover, her four-dimensional attributes had already reached an average of 13 points.

She was undoubtedly a talented candidate.

Unfortunately, her practical combat skills were weak.

She needed guidance and training from him as her tutor.

“Brother Yi, do you still need to train? You’re already so amazing; isn’t the college entrance exam a sure thing for you?” Li Wanting pouted, puzzled.

In her eyes, even though Zhou Yi was only one level higher, he could easily suppress her, making him a very formidable figure.

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but smile at her words.

After transmigrating, he quickly consolidated his strength using his past life’s experience.

His four-dimensional attributes were lacking, and he couldn’t improve them.

So he focused on honing his combat skills and timing for skill release.

Training in these two areas gave him considerable combat power among those of the same level.

But because his attributes were so poor, he was only ranked in the middle of his class.

However, in front of Li Wanting, who had decent attributes but lacked combat experience, he was indeed quite impressive.

Of course, now that he had transferred to Saint Knight, all his attributes had increased significantly.

Even without relying on technique, he could easily overpower Li Wanting.

“Your Brother Yi wants to aim for better results, so he needs more training, unlike you who are inconsistent.

Alright, don’t hold up your Brother Yi. After the college entrance exam, you can invite him over for a meal.”

Uncle Li ruffled Li Wanting’s hair.

He had interacted with Zhou Yi for over half a year.

He greatly admired this calm, low-key young man with strong combat abilities.

But the college entrance exam was important, and he couldn’t keep Zhou Yi from preparing.

“It’s a pity his attributes are a bit lacking. Otherwise, his performance in the exam would be dominating.”

Watching Zhou Yi’s departing figure, Uncle Li shook his head with a hint of regret.

Didn’t he know his daughter’s strength?

Her combat skills were weak, but not to the point where just anyone could defeat her!

Yet Zhou Yi, with an average attribute of less than 10 points, could still overpower his daughter.

Such a person, if his attributes were improved, would undoubtedly be a terrifying presence.
