SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: The First Class! The Miracle of Dark Miasma Valley!

TL: Etude Translations

The sun rose from the east, and the morning sunlight bypassed the building’s stone columns, casting its gentle rays on Song Xialan’s delicate profile.

The light made her appear crystalline, like jade, radiating an extraordinary beauty.

Faced with her words, Zhou Yi was slightly surprised.

“You’re in Class 1 too?”

This year, Suhang University had over a thousand new students, of which more than three hundred had chosen the War College.

These three hundred students were divided into six classes, with fifty students per group. Zhou Yi was assigned to Class 1.

Unexpectedly, Song Xialan was also in Class 1.

“Yes, that’s right.”

Song Xialan chuckled lightly, took out her smartphone, and skillfully logged into the school’s official website.

She then opened a list:

“Our Class 1 has a total of 52 students. All the names are listed here.”

Zhou Yi skimmed the list and indeed saw his and Song Xialan’s names.

In addition to their names, there were many others that he didn’t recognize.

However, one thing was clear—this grouping was not based on ranking.

After all, in the Class 1 roster, there were no signs of Liu Jing, ranked 19th, or Shen Lingfeng, ranked 16th, both of whom also chose the War College.

Since it was confirmed that they were both in Class 1, Zhou Yi extended his right hand for a gentle handshake and said,

“Please guide me well.”

“With your strength, there’s no way I could guide you…”

Song Xialan quickly shook her head, mimicking a rattling drum.

“Are you kidding? Even though three days have passed, the image of your Hammer of Repentance on the dueling stage is still vividly etched in my mind.”

Moreover…

She could clearly sense that Zhou Yi’s strength had improved significantly compared to the New Student Competition three days ago!

“But if you need help in the future, feel free to ask. After all, us Spirit Masters can be quite useful in certain situations.”

She puffed out her decently developed chest with a half-joking tone.

“Absolutely.”

Zhou Yi nodded with a smile.

Indeed, compared to Saint Knights, Spirit Masters had a broader range of applications.

For example, when his sister Zhou Yun awakened her bloodline, the Great Sealing Technique she needed was something only a Spirit Master could perform.

Though Song Xialan was still low-level now, in the future, once she grew stronger, he might need her assistance for similar matters…

…

After meeting Song Xialan on the way, the two headed together to Room 4 on the third floor.

When they entered the classroom, they found that quite a few students were already seated.

“It’s Zhou Yi! So he really is in Class 1 with us!”

“I couldn’t get close enough to the stage during the New Student Competition, but even from afar, he looked so cool. Now that I’m seeing him up close, he’s even more handsome!”

“This is awesome! Brother Yi is in the same class as us!”

“…”

Zhou Yi’s name had been remembered by countless freshmen since the New Student Competition.

Now, his appearance caused a ripple of whispers to spread among the students in the classroom.

Today, Zhou Yi wasn’t wearing his light armor equipment.

Instead, he was dressed casually in simple attire.

Even so, his tall and lean figure, combined with his chiseled features, still drew a great deal of attention.

Adding to that the feat of sweeping through his opponents in the New Student Competition and consecutively defeating the provincial top scorers of two provinces, his reputation was unforgettable.

Zhou Yi, however, didn’t seem to pay much attention to the gazes around him.

He casually found a seat toward the back and sat down.

Song Xialan took the seat next to Zhou Yi.

“Ding-ding-ding~~~”

Before long, the class bell rang on time, and a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses walked into the room.

It was easy to tell that this man wasn’t particularly powerful.

The appraisal technique revealed his strength level to be 17, which confirmed this observation.

However, none of the students showed any disdain toward this teacher.

After all, strength alone didn’t determine everything.

Profound knowledge could command equal respect and admiration.

“My name is Tang Tianhong. I’ll be your instructor for the course Terrain and Magical Beast Analysis of the Tempest Mountain Range,” he introduced himself.

“I believe most of you have heard of the Tempest Mountain Range and are aware that it will become one of your key leveling areas in the future.”

“The Tempest Mountain Range is vast and is divided into the outer area, the central area, and the inner depths.”

“Each area corresponds to magical beasts of different power levels and varying terrain.”

“For freshmen like yourselves, your primary leveling zone will be the outer area of the Tempest Mountain Range.”

“Next, I will focus on introducing the specific terrain of the outer area of the Tempest Mountain Range…”

“…”

It had to be said that, as a lecturer at Suhang University—a top-tier institution—even the cultural courses were highly professional.

From the very beginning of the lecture, Tang Tianhong had the undivided attention of the class.

Thus began the hour-long session.

Under Tang Tianhong’s explanation, all the unique terrains of the outer Tempest Mountain Range were covered in detail.

This included the Dark Miasma Valley, an area perpetually shrouded in mysterious energy.

Tang Tianhong also mentioned that there had recently been rumors of a miracle occurring in the Dark Miasma Valley.

The entire valley, he explained, had been enveloped in holy light…

“A miracle in the Dark Miasma Valley? That’s incredible!”

“Holy light covering the valley? It’s probably a miracle bestowed by the God of Light.”

“I heard the God of Light is a goddess—wonder if that’s true…”

“…”

The mention of a miracle set the classroom abuzz with whispers.

It was well known that the world of Blue Star indeed had gods.

However, very few had directly interacted with them.

Even their miracles were exceedingly rare.

“A miracle, huh… I’ve never seen one with my own eyes before.”

“When we enter the Tempest Mountain Range in the future, I’ll definitely head to the Dark Miasma Valley to take a look,” Song Xialan, her braided hair swaying, remarked with excitement.

Little did she know that the mastermind behind this so-called miracle was sitting right beside her…
