SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Abyss Difficulty Unlocked! Heading to the Dungeon Building!

TL: Etude Translations

Every month, Suhang University distributed resources to its students.

The amount distributed varied according to the ranking in the sequence.

For example, Zhou Yi, ranked first in the sequence, received 100 credits and a portion of C+ Rank resources every month.

Meanwhile, students ranked lower in the sequence received significantly less.

Some could only receive around ten credits per month, along with lower-tier resources ranked E or even F.

Despite this disparity…

Even the most ordinary students received resources from the university each month equivalent to about one million Zhongxia Currency in value!

One million Zhongxia Currency was no small amount, especially considering it was distributed monthly.

It was evident how much Suhang University invested in its students.

The university only admitted 1,000 new students per year, partly to select the cream of the crop.

Another reason was the immense cost of cultivating each student.

Now, the resources allocated to all students of Suhang University had been increased, not by a small adjustment but by a dramatic surge exceeding 50%!

This development not only thrilled the students but also made it clear that the university was preparing for a significant event.

“Distributing resources on such a massive scale—this is about nurturing strong individuals without regard to cost!”

“Could it be that a great war is on the horizon?”

Some perceptive students speculated.

“Very likely! Regardless of why the resources are increasing, as students, we just need to work hard to grow stronger!”

“True! We are in the best of times!”

“Let’s go for it! Long live humanity!”

“…”

Motivated by the increased resources, every student at Suhang University was raring to go, eager to make significant progress!

…

On the other side, Zhou Yi, who was in Villa No. 001, was unaware of the recent events.

At that moment, he had just finished training in the outdoor training field and returned to the living room, dragging his slightly fatigued body.

This time, even though he maintained his 1st-level Combat Stance, he had not used his Bloodline Secret Technique to transform into a Frost Titan.

Because of this, the battle had taken a bit longer than usual.

“Hmm? Why are there so many missed calls?”

He glanced at his phone on the coffee table, noticing several missed calls.

There were calls from Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and even Wang Li, whom he had met during the Special Admissions Meeting.

As soon as he unlocked his phone with a swipe, a major announcement popped up in the freshman group chat:

“Tomorrow, the Abyss Mode will open, but unfortunately, our levels aren’t high enough! We can’t participate yet.”

“Haha, so what if your level was high enough? Do you have enough credits to activate the Abyss-level dungeon challenge?”

“True, I guess I’ll just settle for the monthly resource allocation increase.”

“The fixed resource allocation increased by a full 70%! That’s plenty to be satisfied with!”

“…”

The group chat operated on a platform called “Xichat,” the most popular instant messaging app in Zhongxia Country, with nearly everyone owning an account.

Aside from the messages from the freshman group, Zhou Yi also noticed two private messages.

“Brother Zhou Yi, the school has increased the resource allocation!”

This message was from Jiang Churan.

“Zhou Yi, the Abyss Mode for the school’s dungeons has opened.

If you ever want to team up, feel free to call me~”

This one came from the braided-haired girl, Song Xialan.

Zhou Yi didn’t have many contacts on his Xichat account. Apart from his high school classmates, his list included only the Blue Kite Squad, Jiang Churan, and a few other girls from the freshman circle.

“Resource allocation increase?”

Zhou Yi raised his sword-like brows.

He quickly realized that something extraordinary must have occurred during his training session.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi entered the freshman group chat and clicked on the pinned announcement.

As expected, the announcement detailed the comprehensive information about the resource increase.

The description was extensive, spanning more than ten pages.

It took Zhou Yi two or three minutes to finish reading the entire announcement and its detailed explanation.

“The increase in resource allocation from the school… It seems like the nation is preparing for a significant move.”

That day, in Teacher Wang Hui’s private villa, Zhou Yi had learned that creatures from another world could cross over through mid-tier spatial rifts.

At that moment, he had anticipated that the nation would devise countermeasures.

He just hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly.

“But still…”

“The school’s three major dungeons opening Abyss Mode is perfect for me.”

“Since I don’t have classes tomorrow morning, I’ll head to the Dungeon Building to check it out.”

“I’ll try challenging the Goblin Dungeon.”

Having made his decision, Zhou Yi began returning the missed calls one by one.

As expected, the calls were about the resource increase.

Notably, when Jiang Churan learned that Zhou Yi planned to challenge the Goblin Dungeon tomorrow, she, who also had no classes in the morning, decided to join him.

The Next Day
Zhou Yi woke up early as usual, completing his daily tasks assigned by the system without fail.

After earning 10 points of free attribute rewards and distributing them among his stats, he equipped his gear and left the villa.

This time, he was fully armed.

Strapped across his back was the ferocious Army Breaker Battle Axe, a weapon with a fearsome design.

His entire body was covered by the pitch-black Wrathful Dragon Light Armor Set, leaving only his head exposed.

As he stepped out of Villa No. 001, he immediately noticed the slender figure of Jiang Churan standing in front of Villa No. 002.

As a Swordsman, Jiang Churan’s standard gear was light armor or leather armor.

Being someone who pursued ultimate agility and speed, Jiang Churan naturally opted for leather armor.

Her silver-white leather battle attire clung tightly to her body like a second skin, accentuating her curvaceous figure in a way that was incredibly alluring.

On her back was the ancient, black Dark Moon Ancient Sword, radiating an understated but undeniable presence.

As a Legacy Weapon, the sword’s level had risen along with Jiang Churan’s, now reaching level 17.

Its enhancement to her four-dimensional attributes was nothing short of terrifying.

“Brother Zhou Yi.”

When Jiang Churan saw Zhou Yi, her eyes lit up, and she gracefully swayed her way to his side.

“Let’s go. We’ll take a car down,” Zhou Yi said.

The three major dungeons of Suhang University were housed in the Dungeon Building, which was located in the Elemental College. To get there, transportation was necessary.

“Take a car? No need, I’ll take you.”

With a wave of her jade-like hand, Jiang Churan summoned her contracted magical pet.

A massive white tiger appeared, its body stretching three to four meters in length and standing nearly 1.5 meters tall.

Its entire frame was muscular, with a broad back wide enough to comfortably accommodate two or three people.

“Brother Zhou Yi, hop on.”

Jiang Churan swung herself onto the tiger’s back with practiced ease. Zhou Yi, seeing this, didn’t hesitate. With a single leap, he landed behind her on the white tiger.

As she felt the strong masculine presence from behind her, Jiang Churan’s cheeks flushed red.

Suppressing the fluttering thoughts in her heart, she gave a low command:

“Xiao Bai, go!”

“Roar—”

The massive white tiger let out a mighty roar before leaping forward, carrying the two of them swiftly toward their destination.

…

Xiao Bai means Little White.
