SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Strength Assessment! Tier-3 Combat Mode!

TL: Etude Translations

…

“The Tempest Mountain Range may be your future leveling area, but you must choose the right time to go.”

“When your strength is inadequate, you shouldn’t enter recklessly.”

“If something unexpected happens to you inside the mountain range, it would be a significant loss—not just for Suhang University, but for the entire Zhongxia Country…”

…

In the living room of Villa No. 001.

Su Mei was tirelessly giving her instructions.

Her message was clear: it was fine to venture into the Tempest Mountain Range, but only if one had sufficient strength for self-preservation.

Naturally, Zhou Yi couldn’t tell her about the S-Rank Divine Object in his possession, which granted him resurrection capabilities. The risk of venturing into the mountain range was well within his control.

Moreover, Zhou Yi understood that Su Mei had his best interests at heart.

Thus, amidst her barrage of advice, Zhou Yi nodded repeatedly, adopting an attitude of humble acceptance.

After a long while, Su Mei finally paused, downing the tea on the coffee table, which had long since gone cold.

“Ah~~~”

Setting the cup down, Su Mei let out a long sigh.

She glanced at Zhou Yi, who had been listening intently the entire time, and nodded with satisfaction.

Many prodigies graduated from Suhang University each year, but only a few managed to grow into true titans of their time.

About half of them failed because the higher levels became exponentially harder to achieve, and they exhausted their potential.

The other half didn’t even make it that far, dying prematurely before they had a chance to fully develop…

She sincerely hoped Zhou Yi wouldn’t fall into the latter category.

“Don’t find me nagging; being cautious is always a good thing.”

“Alright, that’s it for today. Remember to attend class on time the day after tomorrow.”

With one final reminder, Su Mei stood up and left.

The freshman courses were starting soon, and as an instructor at the War College, she needed to prepare her lessons.

“Goodbye, Teacher Su,” Zhou Yi said.

Watching Su Mei leave the villa, Zhou Yi finally let out a breath of relief.

He then glanced at the clock.

11:00 a.m. sharp.

Damn, she talked for nearly an hour!

“She really can talk…”

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi got up and left the living room.

The Bloodline Fusion Ritual had granted him the extremely rare Frost Titan Bloodline.

Not only had his four-dimensional attributes improved significantly, but he had also gained two evolutionary talents and an S+ Rank Bloodline Secret Technique.

Therefore, he needed to test how much his strength had improved…

…

Outdoor Training Field

A series of training robots had already been activated.

Without entering combat mode, they were merely patrolling back and forth in designated areas.

Standing at a height of 1.8 meters and clad entirely in tough alloy, their every metallic step caused the ground to tremble slightly.

“Let’s test the Titan Divine Body Bloodline Secret Technique first…”

To avoid the embarrassment of tearing his clothes again, Zhou Yi took off his shirt first this time.

His balanced and muscular physique was revealed.

Then, with a thought, the Frost Titan power dormant within him was unleashed.

Boom!

Icy cold air radiated outward from Zhou Yi, spreading across the training field like the arrival of an arctic world.

The entire ground of the outdoor training field was instantly coated with a layer of pale blue ice!

Simultaneously, his body swelled, his height reaching two meters!

His exposed upper body muscles thickened rapidly, bulging with metallic-like toughness.

Adding to this, faint Titan Divine Markings appeared on his skin, exuding a unique and overwhelming aura of power!

“Xiao Hei, activate Tier-3 Combat Mode!”

Zhou Yi’s voice resonated with divine majesty.

A month ago, he had only dared to challenge Tier-5 Combat Mode when leaving the villa.

Now, confident in his newfound strength, he directly skipped Tier-4 Combat Mode and went straight for Tier-3!

“Xiao Hei acknowledges!”

The holographic projection of Xiao Hei, the AI assistant, smiled mischievously in midair.

“Based on your level, Tier-3 Combat Mode requires a total of 70 level-18 training robots.”

“There are 30 robots currently in the field. An additional 40 will be deployed.”

Boom~~~

From the training warehouse behind him, engines roared.

One after another, towering robots emerged.

In combat mode, their eyes glowed a dangerous crimson.

Each robot wielded various metallic or energy-based weapons.

Some held sabers, longswords, and shields, while others carried massive machine guns with oversized barrels!

“The robots are in position. Tier-3 Combat Mode officially begins!”

“Master, please be cautious…”

The moment Xiao Hei’s villain-like voice fell, the high-powered training robots charged at Zhou Yi like ravenous magical beasts that hadn’t eaten for days!

Bang! Bang! Bang!…

The melee robots hadn’t even reached Zhou Yi when the robots acting as Sharpshooter Professionals in the rear opened fire with their machine guns. Bullets poured out like a torrential storm, as if cost was of no concern!

The training robots were creations of the Mechanic Profession.

These machines could simulate their strength based on the trainee’s level, with a maximum simulation cap at level 30!

At present, matched to Zhou Yi’s strength, they were at level 18.

The machine guns in their hands were far more ferocious than those carried by the level-10 robots Zhou Yi had faced previously.

The outdoor training field wasn’t particularly large, with a mere 20 meters separating the two sides.

Such relentless bullet firepower could easily turn an ordinary person into a sieve, leaving them undeniably dead…

However, the one standing here now was no ordinary person.

It was a terrifying entity transformed into the Frost Titan Divine Scion through a Bloodline Secret Technique!

Bang! Bang! Bang!…

Zhou Yi didn’t use any skills. Relying solely on the strength of his body, the bullets slammed into him but failed to even scratch his skin!

All they left were faint red marks on the surface!

The sharp bullet tips, as if colliding with an alloy wall, were compressed into crumpled masses before clattering to the ground with a metallic clang…

“Horrifying defensive power…” Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes.

His S+ Rank Talent, Death Resistance, primarily accelerated the recovery of injuries.

It did not inherently boost physical defense.

Therefore, this terrifying defensive effect was due partly to the B-Rank Talent, Titan Divine Markings.

Additionally, it was bolstered by the innate attributes of his current Frost Titan Form.

“And this is just my raw physical defense. If I stacked it with the buffs of a Saint Knight, my defensive capabilities could ascend to an entirely new level.”

“However… for now, let’s test the strength of the Frost Titan. Later, I’ll evaluate my full potential.”

At that moment, a towering melee robot charged forward, its alloy saber howling through the air as it slashed down at him!

“Die!”

Zhou Yi didn’t bother using his battle axe. Instead, he clenched his right hand into a fist.

Then, like an arrow leaving a bow, his punch shot forward!

His massive fist struck the melee robot square in the chest!

The chest area of the robot was its most heavily fortified, boasting the strongest defense on its entire body.

With its full alloy armor, the robot was akin to being clad in heavy plate armor.

Even a melee specialist of the same level would struggle to leave a mark with a full-strength punch.

However…

The moment Zhou Yi’s divinely marked fist connected with the chest, the alloy caved inwards with a thunderous impact!

The terrifying Frost Power surged into the chest cavity, and white frost rapidly spread across the robot’s entire mechanical frame.

Under the combined force of the frigid energy and Zhou Yi’s massive strength, the training robot exploded with a deafening BOOM!

Shards of its mechanical body, mixed with icy debris, scattered in all directions!
