SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Strength Above All! The Sole Truth!

TL: Etude Translations

“Dragon Condensing Pill?”

Zhou Yi looked at Lin Yi with curiosity.

“That’s right, it’s the Dragon Condensing Pill,” Lin Yi confirmed.

“The Dragon Condensing Pill requires the Dragon Condensing Fruit as the main ingredient, supplemented with multiple other B and B-Rank medicinal materials for refining.”

“Of course…”

“Its final effect is also quite strong. After consuming the Dragon Condensing Pill, you can significantly enhance your constitution and spell damage,” Lin Yi explained.

“Enhance constitution and spell damage…” Zhou Yi mused. “I see.”

In essence, the Dragon Condensing Pill was simply a magnified version of the effects of the Dragon Condensing Fruit.

“Senior Sister, can you calculate something for me? If I refine both the Extreme Cold Pill and the Dragon Condensing Pill simultaneously, how many additional credits will I need to pay?”

Two thousand credits sounded like a lot, but when it came to purchasing natural treasures, it actually wasn’t much.

Thus, he needed to know the exact cost before making a decision—whether to refine only the Extreme Cold Pill or both pills together.

“The most critical ingredients, the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus and the Dragon Condensing Fruit, you already have. The remaining required materials aren’t particularly rare…”

Lin Yi quickly calculated.

As expected, even excluding Instructor He Tian’s refining fee, the cost of purchasing the remaining materials still amounted to at least 3,000 credits.

“Forget it, I’ll just refine the Extreme Cold Pill for now,” Zhou Yi decided.

The presence of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus and Ice Crystal Grass meant that this S-Rank pill required only an additional 800 credits to refine.

“Alright,” Lin Yi nodded. “Leave your contact information with me. Once the instructor returns, I’ll notify you to bring over the materials.”

At present, with Instructor He Tian away, Lin Yi, as a student, couldn’t accept these two S-Rank natural treasures herself. If anything went wrong, it would cause unnecessary trouble.

“Understood,” Zhou Yi replied, leaving his contact information before departing without lingering.

…

Having completed all his errands, Zhou Yi returned to his villa, letting out a sigh of relief.

He then remembered that after verifying his strength earlier at the outdoor training ground, Jiang Churan’s sudden appearance had left him no time to shower.

Now, he could still feel traces of sweat on his body.

After placing the password box securely and playing with the playful wolf pup dashing around the villa hall, Zhou Yi grabbed his clothes and entered the bathroom.

The villa’s bathroom was spacious, covering 40 square meters, most of which was allocated to the bath.

To ensure students had the best experience, the bath was constantly filled with hot water.

“Splash~~~”

As Zhou Yi immersed himself in the bath, the water rippled over the edges.

He couldn’t help but marvel at the perfectly warm temperature of the water. The moment he sank into it, his exhaustion seemed to melt away.

“No wonder this is the most luxurious Villa No. 001. It truly offers the ultimate comfort…”

Suhang University’s facilities were incredibly well-equipped.

There were six dining halls, and if students didn’t want to visit them, they could even have robots deliver meals directly to their villas.

Of course, all these privileges depended on having sufficient strength.

The stronger the individual, the higher their sequence ranking.

This granted access to more luxurious living conditions, abundant credits, and prioritized resource allocation.

Those with lesser strength, however, could only access the most basic credits and accommodations, such as sharing a double dormitory room.

“I must admit, this system suits me perfectly.”

Suhang University’s educational philosophy had always been crystal clear—cultivate the most outstanding professionals!

To achieve this goal, the rule of “the strong thrive, the weak lose everything” served as a motivational tool to drive everyone to strive harder.

This system might seem harsh, but every student who applied to Suhang University had already accepted this philosophy.

Or rather…

After the integration of the Eternal World and reality, this had become the sole truth for professionals.

After all, protecting one’s homeland required immense strength.

“Fusing the Frost Titan Bloodline has advanced my strength by leaps and bounds,” Zhou Yi reflected. “Next comes steady progress, step by step.”

The Frost Titan Bloodline had granted him an average increase of nearly 60 points across his four-dimensional attributes.

It also provided two evolved talents and an S+ Rank bloodline secret technique.

This marked a significant breakthrough in his strength.

However, achieving a similar leap in power again would be nearly impossible. From now on, his progress would need to be steady and incremental.

Of course, with the system’s tasks, even slow progress for him would still outpace other students.

“Still, strength isn’t limited to just the four-dimensional attributes. Other areas of development must keep up as well.”

Combat awareness, reaction speed, battle decision-making…

These aspects couldn’t be reflected through the four-dimensional attributes.

Merely possessing high four-dimensional attributes, without the corresponding combat awareness and decision-making, was akin to a child holding a sharp dagger—there was no way to unleash one’s full potential.

This was precisely why Suhang University’s curriculum was designed the way it was.

“The day after tomorrow, the freshman courses will officially begin.”

“For the next two days, I should stay in the villa and focus on consolidating my strength…”

Zhou Yi was someone with extremely high standards for himself.

Even though his current strength already made him the strongest among the freshmen, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.

To make himself even stronger, he could only continue striving relentlessly.
