SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 177

Chapter 177: The First Place in the Exchange Competition is Entrusted to You!

TL: Rui88

As soon as they exited the dungeon, Zhou Yi and his companions saw Wu Mang and his group walking towards them.

“You all performed very well!” Wu Mang laughed heartily as he walked forward, first expressing his satisfaction with everyone’s performance.

Then he patted Zhou Yi on the shoulder and said with great delight:

“Especially you, Zhou Yi, you really gave me a big surprise!”

It was known that, as the top freshman, Zhou Yi’s strength lay in his battle output.

His auxiliary buff skills, on the contrary, were his weak point.

However, even so, his auxiliary abilities, despite being his weak point, still proved to be overwhelmingly formidable!!

It was hard to imagine just how astonishing his performance would be when Zhou Yi unleashed his full firepower.

Moreover, through Lao Zhou, he also learned that Zhou Yi possessed an S+Rank bloodline secret technique…

If he were to unleash this S+Rank secret technique during the Exchange Competition, he would virtually be invincible!!

It seemed that this Exchange Competition was secured!

Having thought of this, Wu Mang looked at Zhou Yi with even greater satisfaction.

“Let’s go; we are heading to the hall to review the battle we just had.” Wu Mang instructed.

Considering the requirements for a team’s first-time integration, Zhou Yi and his companions’ performance was indeed outstanding.

Every one of them had nearly brought their strengths to the utmost.

However, this was entirely normal, for they were all among the top ten prodigies.

Of course…

Although their initial performance was brilliant, numerous mistakes had still occurred throughout the battle.

As the instructor, Wu Mang’s task was to strictly point out these mistakes in the pursuit of perfection.

“Cai Hua, your taunt skill was used well, but your stance when deploying the Shield Wall was a bit off; the angle of your single knee bend was slightly off.”

“Liu Yang, remember to pay attention to your magic level; you must always keep at least one-third of your magic within you!”

“Song Xialan, pay attention to the timing of your Daoist skills; in the dungeon, your attacks nearly affected Cai Hua in the front row several times. Now that you are a team, you must be especially cautious about this…”

“…”

In the hall, the over-three-meter-tall Wu Mang went around and pointed out the problematic aspects of each person’s performance in the dungeon.

He wore a solemn expression, and his tone was even considered severe!

He was well aware that the National University Freshman Exchange Competition was, in fact, the precursor to future warfare.

At this moment, having more of his students trained would greatly increase their survival rate when Blue Star and the Otherworld eventually launched an all-out war.

As the Dean of the War College, Wu Mang possessed extremely rich combat experience.

He pointed out, from the superficial to the profound, the shortcomings in each person’s performance in the dungeon.

Of course, except for Zhou Yi…

After all, during the entire battle, aside from the initial release of buff skills, he had not taken any further action.

While lecturing, Wu Mang also demonstrated by taking action.

From time to time, he would call someone up to participate in a coordinated demonstration.

After a full hour, Wu Mang’s guidance finally came to an end.

And everyone felt that they had gained a great deal.

“Alright, that was enough for today.” Wu Mang concluded.

“Next Sunday at nine o’clock, we will be here again; everyone must arrive on time.”

“Since this was your first time teaming up in the dungeon, any issues can be overlooked.”

“But if the same problems occur next time as they did today, there will be punitive training!”

Listening to Wu Mang’s undisguised words, everyone immediately felt a pang of anxiety.

Among the five colleges of Suhang University, if one were to ask which college dean was the most stringent, there was no doubt that it had to be the War College!

As the Dean, Wu Mang had initiated punitive training on countless students who lacked sufficient ability.

Although these students had indeed improved their abilities significantly afterward, the experiences during the punitive training were memories they were reluctant to mention…

Wu Mang addressed the remaining students, “Xu Qiang, Huang Bin, Zhao Qingzhu, Yang Siyu. Although the four of you did not get to participate today, starting from this week, the training will commence with two rounds of dungeon battles, with personnel rotation. You need not worry about that.”

“Alright.” Xu Qiang and the others nodded.

Seeing Xu Qiang and the others nod in understanding, Wu Mang finally added a few more reminders.

He then disbanded the team, leaving Zhou Yi alone.

“Let’s go, let’s find a sofa and sit for a while.” Wu Mang suggested.

At Suhang University, there were many students with Otherworldly bloodlines.

There were also many of enormous stature.

To accommodate this, the lobby of the dungeon building had thoughtfully placed sofas that could seat people of various body sizes.

Therefore, under Wu Mang’s guidance, the two of them easily found a large sofa to sit on.

Given Wu Mang’s body, which exceeded three meters in height, even when seated he still measured over two meters tall.

In comparison, the tall and slender Zhou Yi sitting beside him appeared like a child.

“Zhou Yi, how much experience do you still need to level up to level 22?” As soon as they sat down, Wu Mang asked out loud.

“About 40,000 experience.” Zhou Yi glanced at his information panel and replied.

“40,000 experience, that was not far off.” Wu Mang nodded and said:

“Once your experience is full, do not choose to level up immediately. Save your experience, and when we go to Qingjing, then level up.”

Every year, the final ten-university grand finals of the National University Freshman Exchange Competition had a designated final venue.

And this year’s final venue was Qingjing City, located in the capital of Zhongxia Country.

“Is it for the Goblin Dungeon?” Zhou Yi immediately realized.

The level restriction for the Goblin Dungeon was 17 to 21.

Once he chose to level up, he would no longer be able to enter the dungeon with the others.

“That’s right.” Wu Mang did not deny it, and laughed as he said:

“To increase team cohesion, practical combat training within the dungeon was indispensable.”

“But if we were missing you, that would be troublesome.”

Zhou Yi nodded in understanding, and then a thought struck him.

The three pieces of Gold-grade equipment obtained from the dungeon suddenly appeared in his hands.

“Dean, these three pieces of equipment were dropped from the dungeon.” Zhou Yi stated.

“These pieces of equipment are meant to be handed over to the school…”

Before Zhou Yi could finish speaking, Wu Mang waved his hand and said:

“All the equipment obtained from clearing the dungeon would be freely distributed.”

“This was, in fact, the school’s indirect way of providing you with support.”

The top ten freshmen represented the most elite prodigies among the fresh blood of Suhang University!

For such individuals, the school naturally did not hesitate to invest resources.

“Alright.” With Dean Wu Mang saying so, Zhou Yi naturally did not refuse, and once again stored the three pieces of equipment into his backpack space.

Next, the two of them chatted casually for a few moments.

The conversation was essentially about this year’s National University Freshman Exchange Competition.

“Zhou Yi, what were your thoughts on achieving first place in the Exchange Competition?” Wu Mang looked at Zhou Yi with great interest.

“First place is a must-win!” Zhou Yi declared firmly.

Whether it was the system tasks that granted rewards based on the Exchange Competition results or the abundant resources obtained after securing first place in the competition, Zhou Yi would not allow any mishaps!

“Haha, good!!” Seeing Zhou Yi’s imposing spirit and determined tone, Wu Mang couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said:

“Since you were so full of confidence, then our school’s first place in the Exchange Competition is entrusted to you!”
