SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Target, Provincial Top Scorer!

TL: YYang

By the time Zhou Yi returned to his rented room, it was already 10 PM.

However, Zhou Yi did not choose to rest; instead, he directly opened his information panel.

[Name: Zhou Yi]

[Profession: Saint Knight]

[Level: 10 (200/800)]

[Talent: Protection of the Holy Angel (S+), Stone Skin (D-)]

[Skills: Pure White Blade LV1 (C-Rank), Weapon Blessing LV1 (C-Rank), Slow Healing LV1 (C-Rank), Tiger Assault LV4 (D-Rank), Air Slash LV3 (E-Rank)]

[Attributes: Strength: 20, Constitution: 20, Agility: 18, Intelligence: 21]

[Special Bloodline: None]

The information panel was something everyone had, allowing them to view all their information.

At this moment, Zhou Yi looked at his information panel, deep in thought.

Before reaching level 10, he had only learned two skills, Tiger Assault and Uppercut.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to learn more, but skill books were extremely rare!

These two skills were ones his predecessor already knew; after transmigrating, he hadn’t learned a single new skill.

“Solo dungeon runs require good sustainability.”

“In that case, I need to allocate more skill points to level up these skills.”

Besides free attribute points, daily task rewards also included skill points.

In this month’s time, Zhou Yi didn’t plan to only take attribute points every time he completed daily tasks.

After all, higher skill levels meant more powerful effects.

At critical moments, high-level skills could instantly turn the tide!

Moreover, defeating bosses required strong offensive skills.

“Now that I’ve sorted out my point allocation, it’s time to think about which weapon to use.”

The Knight profession could use many weapons: one-handed hammers, two-handed hammers, one-handed swords, two-handed swords, one-handed axes, two-handed axes, and polearms.

As a hidden transfer of the Knight profession, the Saint Knight could also use these weapons.

Under the country’s compulsory education system, Zhou Yi could use most of these weapons, though he wasn’t proficient in any.

“However, there are some weapons I haven’t used yet. If I need to choose a weapon for the college entrance exam, I’ll decide after trying them all.”

Zhou Yi quickly made his decision.

Then he took out his phone and started searching.

Tomorrow, the TOP 10 schools would come for special admissions, and he needed to learn more about these universities beforehand.

…

The next day, Zhou Yi took the bus to the Second High School as usual.

“Brother Yi is here.”

“Morning, Zhou Yi.”

“Brother Yi, good morning.”

“…”

As soon as Zhou Yi walked into the classroom, he was greeted with various salutations.

Among them were some young girls with eyes full of admiration.

Nodding in response, he returned to his seat.

The morning classes began as usual.

However, after the second class in the morning, Zhou Yi was called to the principal’s office by homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang.

“The representatives from the TOP 10 universities have arrived. Four schools came this time: Rongyang University, Chuan Nan University, Anji University, and Hancheng University.”

“So, have you decided which one you want to attend?”

In the office, Principal Luo Heng asked with a broad smile, almost beaming with pride.

And who could blame him?

With four top universities visiting simultaneously, as the principal of the Second High School, he had gained significant prestige!

Hearing the question, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Among these four universities, it seemed the top three were not present.

“Principal Luo, did the top three universities come this time?” Zhou Yi directly expressed his curiosity.

Among the TOP 10 schools, Suhang University, Qingjing University, and Modu University held the most prestigious positions.

These three institutions were known as the top three universities in Zhongxia Country.

“The top three universities always base their admissions on college entrance exam results. They don’t arrange special admissions before the results are out,” Principal Luo explained with a smile.

Li Xiangyang, standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

The top three universities always maintained their prestigious status, and this approach was consistent with their practices.

“I see.”

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but admire them internally.

As expected of the top three universities, they based special admissions solely on exam results, not on talent or profession.

Since the top three universities weren’t offering special admissions this time, Zhou Yi had already made up his mind about which university to choose.

He looked at Principal Luo Heng and apologized:

“Principal Luo, I might have to decline the special admissions this time.”

“Decline?!”

Principal Luo was momentarily stunned, then quickly reacted, his eyes widening in surprise.

Beside him, homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang’s smile froze on his face.

“That’s right, I’m not planning to choose any university for special admissions this time.”

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi spoke seriously.

The system’s achievement task required him to achieve the best possible results in the college entrance exam.

Based on the rewards he received from completing daily tasks yesterday, in a month’s time, his four-dimensional attributes could reach an impressive level, greatly enhancing his overall strength.

He might even aim for the top scorer in Suhang Province!

As long as he became the provincial top scorer, he could choose any university in Zhongxia Country, including the top three!

Choosing special admissions now would be a huge loss.

“Choosing to decline now would be a big mistake.”

Principal Luo Heng couldn’t help but advise, “The gap between the TOP 10 schools isn’t that large. After the exam, your best option is still to get into a TOP 10 university.”

Moreover, what he didn’t say was that given Zhou Yi’s current attributes, the likelihood of getting into a TOP 10 university through the exam was almost zero.

Getting into a TOP 100 university would be considered fortunate.

After all, Zhou Yi’s foundation was too weak, and transferring to a hidden profession alone couldn’t make up for it.

“Unless you’re aiming for the top three universities, this choice makes no sense!”

At this point, Principal Luo abruptly stopped, looking at Zhou Yi in disbelief:

“Is your goal the top three universities?”

“Principal, you have keen insight.”

Zhou Yi didn’t hide it and nodded in confirmation.

“This…”

Receiving a definite answer, Principal Luo Heng was momentarily stunned.

It was important to know—

After the Eternal Game merged with reality, the area of Blue Star expanded thousands of times.

Elves, giants, dwarves…

Countless alien races joined the human ranks.

There were also many similar alien races within Zhongxia Country.

To promote harmony between humans and aliens, they too had to take the college entrance exam.

The average strength of aliens was inherently stronger than humans, and Zhongxia Country also had many geniuses.

The top three universities only admitted a little over a thousand new students each year.

With such fierce competition, getting into the top three universities was almost as difficult as reaching the heavens!!

“Would you like to reconsider?” Principal Luo asked with a wry smile.

“No need, Principal, I’ve already made my decision.” Zhou Yi shook his head.

With the system’s help, was he afraid he couldn’t achieve a good score?

Seeing Zhou Yi’s determined and deep eyes, Principal Luo eventually chose not to continue persuading him.

After all, although he hadn’t interacted much with Zhou Yi, he understood that Zhou Yi was not a reckless person.

Since that was the case, Zhou Yi’s decision to forgo special admissions and aim for the top three universities must have been well-considered.

“Now that the TOP 10 schools are already here, you’ve really given me a tough problem.”

Principal Luo shook his head with a bitter smile.

Zhongxia Country’s top universities weren’t easy to dismiss just like that.

But since Zhou Yi had spoken, they would have to take it one step at a time.
