SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 173

Chapter 173: The First Team Cooperation! Team Up to Enter the Dungeon!

TL: Rui88

As the participant list for the National University Freshman Exchange Competition had been announced, each province had begun to organize competitions among the colleges in their respective regions in full swing.

Unlike the final event—which had included the survival contest, solo contest, and team contest—the preliminary selection event had featured only the team contest.

However, even so, the overall progress of the competition had required a large amount of time.

After all…

There had been far too many colleges in Zhongxia Country.

During this period, various activities had been initiated online.

Some had cheered for their own school, while others had organized various star student voting, etc.

In short, it had been extremely lively.

However, all of this had had nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

Every day, he had attended the classes that were scheduled and trained as he was required to train.

Under the system’s daily task rewards and his own persistent training, he had felt that his strength had been gradually increasing.

…

…

September 5th, early morning.

Today had been Sunday; having finished his daily tasks and collected his rewards, Zhou Yi, who had no classes, had come to the open-air training ground.

He had quickly cleared the level 1 combat stance, and then immediately opened his personal information panel:

[Name: Zhou Yi]
[Profession: Saint Knight]
[Level: 21 (24678/76000)]
[Talents: Protection of the Holy Angel (S+), Death Resistance (S+), Rapid Casting (A), Focused Aura (A-), Titan Divine Markings (B-), Magic Immunity (C+), Stone Skin (D-)]
[Skills: God’s Hand LV1 (S Rank), Twin Qin Shield LV5 (A+), Light’s Punishment LV10 (A Rank), Holy Flame Halo LV4 (A Rank), Holy Light Guardian LV6 (B+ Rank), Holy Fist Combo LV7 (B Rank), Holy Light Cross LV9 (B Rank), Holy Storm LV11 (B- Rank)…]
[Attributes: Strength: 267, Constitution: 276, Agility: 257, Intelligence: 283]
[Special Bloodline: Frost Titan]
[Secret Technique: Titan Divine Body (S+）]

“Whew, an average of 270 points in the four attributes…” Zhou Yi thought.

“At level 21, probably no one could have reached such a level, right?”

Ordinary professionals had only chosen one or two attributes as their primary allocation targets.

At level 21, the highest attribute could have reached 230 points, and an average attribute value of 190 points had already been quite formidable.

And Zhou Yi’s average four-dimensional attribute had been at 270 points, having left those previous prodigies far behind.

“Compared to the other attributes, the agility attribute seemed somewhat low.”

“After finishing tomorrow’s daily tasks, I would first make up for the agility attribute.”

For Zhou Yi, who was of the Saint Knight profession, all of his skill effect damages had only been affected by the intelligence and strength attributes.

The agility attribute had hardly been reflected in the effects of his skills.

Only the skills of classes such as thieves and assassins had been affected by the agility attribute.

However, the agility attribute had also played a fairly important role in his mobility.

Generally, Zhou Yi had not allowed it to fall much below the average.

“The level attributes had been increased, but the strength of the robots in this open-air training ground had been somewhat lacking.”

Zhou Yi’s gaze had swept over the scattered robotic limbs that had been strewn across the ground.

Ever since his level had been raised to 21, during training at the open-air training ground, he had had to adjust the robot level to 24 and activate the level 1 combat stance for training to be effective.

And that had been even without activating his bloodline secret technique.

It could have been imagined that if his level had been raised further, this would at most have raised the robots to the strength of 30-level professionals, which had likely failed to produce any training effect.

“However, waiting until using the level 1 combat stance at level 30 would have been at least several months away; there was no need to think about it too much now.”

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi had returned to the villa’s living room.

Just as he had sat down, a call from the dean of the War College, Wu Mang, had come in:

“Zhou Yi, notify all team members to gather immediately at the dungeon building.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi had been slightly astonished.

Because of Dean Wu Mang’s requirement, during this period, team members whose level had not reached 17 had gone to the Tempest Mountain Range to hunt magical beasts and raise their level.

And now, he had actually notified all team members to gather.

“It must be that everyone had reached the level 17 requirement and had returned to school.” Zhou Yi had quickly reacted and had replied to Dean Wu Mang with a “Okay.”

Then, taking his phone, he had begun to notify everyone one by one…

…

Twenty minutes later.

The top ten freshmen and all members of the exchange competition expedition team had arrived at the dungeon building.

After the initial heat of the dungeon’s Abyss-level difficulty had passed, the entire first floor of the dungeon building had become rather deserted.

Only a scant dozen or so people had been sitting on the lounge sofas in the hall.

There had been no one lining up in front of each major dungeon passage.

Of course…

This had also been the norm in the dungeon building.

After all, entering a dungeon had required at least 50 credits.

Once the credits had been spent, they had needed to be earned again.

At this moment, a group of ten people, including Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, had gathered in a corner of the first-floor lobby.

Before them all, the figure of Wu Mang had stood tall.

“Not bad, everyone had reached level 17 as required.” Wu Mang observed.

His gaze had swept over each person one by one, and he had simultaneously used the appraisal technique to check everyone’s level.

Upon seeing Zhou Yi’s level 21, he had been slightly astonished.

But he had immediately recovered.

With Principal Wang Hui having personally instructed him, it was reasonable that Zhou Yi’s level had risen so quickly.

Fortunately, it had not exceeded the level limit requirement of the Goblin Dungeon, otherwise it would have been problematic.

Thinking of this, Wu Mang had spoken in a deep tone:

“You should know that in the exchange competition, the team contest was the most challenging test of the team’s coordination!”

“Therefore, starting this week, I would officially begin training you all!”

“Today’s first training session! I needed to clearly see your entire team’s coordination.”

“In a moment, I required you to form groups of six and to team up to enter the Goblin Underground Dungeon.”

“The difficulty was set to Abyss Tier! The credits each person spent on entering the dungeon would be reimbursed by the school!”

After Wu Mang had finished speaking, his words immediately triggered a stir among the crowd.

They had immediately understood why it had been necessary for everyone to have their levels raised to at least 17—it had been in preparation for entering the dungeon!

As for the Abyss-tier difficulty that Teacher Wu Mang had mentioned, they had not really taken much notice of it.

After all, everyone had been strong, and now they were entering the dungeon as a team.

Even if it had been Abyss Tier, it could have been easily overcome.

Moreover…

Everyone had instinctively glanced at the screen in the center, which had recorded the clearance time rankings.

Zhou Yi’s name had been prominently displayed in first place.

The Abyss tier—which Zhou Yi could clear by himself—combined with the additional five, made it impossible for them to fail in clearing the dungeon.

“First, the six members of the official team: Zhou Yi, Jiang Churan, Song Xialan…” Wu Mang had called out names one by one, and then led the group to the front of the dungeon teleportation channel.

He had set the difficulty and team size, and finally had clicked the confirm button.

Including Zhou Yi, the six had instantly disappeared from the original spot, and had been teleported into the dungeon…
