SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: The Top Ten Gathered! The Exchange Competition Was About to Begin!

TL: Rui88

After confirming that the school’s official website had a channel where one could buy hidden profession transfer scrolls, Zhou Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, after his little sister Zhou Yun reached level 10, she would not wander around like a headless fly.

“嗷呜——”

At that moment, as soon as he returned to the villa, Xiao Hui, who was released from the Contract Space, jumped onto the coffee table, and then leapt directly into Zhou Yi’s arms.

It was as if it were a husky, its tail wagging happily.

At the same time, its whole body continuously wriggled into Zhou Yi’s embrace.

“Good grief, you’re so big now, and you still want to wriggle all the way into my arms?” Zhou Yi laughed as he rubbed Xiao Hui’s wolf head.

After two weeks of growth, this Epic-grade Gale Wolf was no longer the little ball it once was.

Now its size became comparable to that of an adult large dog, making it impossible to be picked up by its scruff as before.

Nor could it curl up in his arms anymore.

Of course…

As an Epic-grade magical beast, Xiao Hui only just began to mature.

Once it truly reached adulthood, its body length would be no less than three or four meters!

By that time, if Xiao Hui were to pounce like this again, the only possibility would be to knock Zhou Yi entirely down…

“Woowooo——”

Although a human and a wolf could not understand each other’s language, because of the existence of the Magical Pet Contract, Xiao Hui was roughly able to understand Zhou Yi’s meaning.

Moreover, after struggling for a long time and failing to squeeze in, it had no choice but to jump down again and play by itself in the living room.

Looking at Xiao Hui, who was happily playing with the sweeping robot, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but think, “Should we find it a companion?”

Like humans, magical beasts also possessed various emotions.

When their mood was poor, even their combat prowess would suffer greatly.

And after more than two weeks of living together, having witnessed the wolf cub grow so large with his own eyes, he naturally wanted to do everything possible to ensure that Xiao Hui was not so lonely.

“In the future, I could always borrow Jiang Churan’s White Tiger.”

Although Jiang Churan’s magical pet Black Calamity White Veined Tiger was larger in size than Xiao Hui, judging by their ages, the difference between the two was only a little over a month.

Perhaps they could even play together.

Just as he was thinking that, suddenly the doorbell rang, and Jiang Churan’s melodious and captivating voice came through the monitoring device: “Brother Zhou Yi, have you returned?”

“What a coincidence.”

When he was in Lijiang, Zhou Yi chatted with Jiang Churan through a communication software, and he also informed her that he would return today.

He did not expect that Jiang Churan would come looking for him almost immediately after his arrival.

He turned off the holographic projection and rose from the sofa.

Walking over to open the door, Zhou Yi saw Jiang Churan standing gracefully at the entrance.

It was summer, and Jiang Churan’s attire was very simple.

Just like any ordinary girl, she wore a grey short-sleeved top paired with pale blue ultra-short shorts.

However, her proud bust stretched the entire short-sleeved top, making it slightly tight.

Her pair of perfectly rounded and long legs, exposed to the air, seemed to possess an astonishing elasticity.

“You had just returned, and you already came to find me,” Zhou Yi smiled as he welcomed Jiang Churan inside.

“Isn’t it because you wanted to see Xiao Hui sooner~” With a hint of mischief in her beautiful eyes, Jiang Churan scanned the room and quickly spotted Xiao Hui playing in the hall.

Then…

She was utterly disillusioned.

She clearly remembered that before she left, although the wolf cub grew slightly in size, it merely changed from a small ball to a medium ball.

But now, that enormous size could no longer be described as a ball…

“Sigh, magical beasts grow too fast,” With a soft sigh, Jiang Churan soon regained her composure.

After all, ravaging Xiao Hui was nothing more than an excuse.

With that in mind, Jiang Churan looked at Zhou Yi with her beautiful eyes, and a smile reappeared on her pretty face, “Brother Zhou Yi, did you know? The National University Freshman Exchange Competition is going to start in a few days!”

“I know, it’s on September 1st, as it always starts on that day every year,” Zhou Yi smiled and nodded, and said, “However, the preliminary rounds of the competition had nothing to do with us.”

The National University Freshman Exchange Competition was a grand event for the entire Zhongxia Country!

Every college in the nation would participate, sending out their most outstanding freshman teams!

Starting from September 1st, the entire schedule would last for roughly two months!

It would begin at the city level, then progress to the provincial level, and finally to the national stage!

Every team would undergo multiple rounds of selection.

Ultimately, ten colleges would participate in the final showdown.

By that time, the entire National University Freshman Exchange Competition would reach its climax!

The final stages of the competition would also be broadcast live globally.

Of course…

As top-tier colleges, Suhang University, Modu University, and Qingjing University held an unparalleled status.

They would not, like ordinary school teams, begin selection at the city level.

Instead, they would directly participate in the final contest among the ten colleges!

In other words, all three top-tier colleges were seed teams…

Therefore, in terms of the preliminary stages, the National University Freshman Exchange Competition that began on September 1st had little to do with Suhang University.

“That may be true,” Jiang Churan, playing with her hair with her right hand, pondered and said. “However, before the National Freshman Exchange Competition began, the list of representatives for each college had to be finalized, even for seed teams like ours.”

Her hair was very long, and even when tied in a high ponytail, it still fell to her shoulders.

“That was true,” Zhou Yi nodded slightly.

To prevent colleges from altering their representative rosters based on cosmetic coordination with other schools, the list of student teams representing each college would be finalized before the competition began.

Once the list was set, it would not be changed lightly.

“Now that there were only a few days until September 1st, I estimated that in a short while, the school would approach us to discuss the formation of the expedition teams.”

In the National University Freshman Exchange Competition, every college would send out their most elite freshmen.

Suhang University was no exception.

And the initial Freshman Competition, besides assigning each freshman a specific sequence ranking, was also in preparation for the Freshman Exchange Competition.

The top ten freshmen, including Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, were definitely going to be selected for the competition team.

Just as Zhou Yi predicted, in less than two days, all the top ten freshmen by sequence ranking received a notice to convene at the War College Conference Hall…

…

…

War College Conference Hall.

Already, four or five of the top ten freshmen by sequence ranking arrived here early.

“They had called us all over; it seemed that this time they were going to finalize the roster for the Freshman Exchange Competition expedition teams.”
“Yeah! The National University Freshman Exchange Competition—I was really looking forward to it!”
“Who wasn’t? My saber had long been craving action!”
“…”

In their conversations, they expressed great anticipation for the upcoming National University Freshman Exchange Competition.

After all, this was a grand event on a national scale!

After a while, a man and a woman walked in through the door.

The man was tall and had a resolute countenance.

The woman was slender and exquisitely beautiful, exuding a captivating charm.

These two were, of course, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, who received the notice to be here.

“Brother Yi, you are here.”
“Zhou Yi.”
“Brother Zhou.”
“…”

In the Freshman Competition, Zhou Yi’s formidable performance completely conquered these proud prodigies.

At that moment, upon seeing Zhou Yi arrive, the group immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

As for Jiang Churan, who came along with Zhou Yi, the others were not too surprised.

After all, during the Freshman Competition, it was apparent that the relationship between the two was unusual…
