SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 185

Chapter 185: A Chance Encounter with Zhu Yu, Hancheng University

TL: Rui88

On the other side, Xia Lan just returned to the team at Qingjing University.

A few male students gathered around and curiously asked:

“Xia Lan, was that girl just now your friend?”

An awe‑inspiring ample bust, perfectly rounded and long legs, and breathtaking beauty.

Just a glance caused Jiang Churan’s figure to be deeply etched into their minds…

“Give up, you have no chance, she already has her heart set on someone.” Xia Lan’s words ruthlessly shattered their illusions…

“That Zhou Yi?” Within the team, a male student who did not speak all along spoke up.

He had a tall build, and his pair of eyes vaguely contained an unusual earthy brown.

He was Qingjing University’s team captain, Li Yuan.

As the captain, he knew the intelligence of the various teams beforehand.

Among them, Suhang University, as the previous session’s tier champion, was a focus of his attention.

And he naturally also knew the opposing team’s captain, Zhou Yi.

“Mm.” Upon seeing Li Yuan, Xia Lan’s expression subconsciously became a bit solemn.

Even in the many geniuses of Qingjing University, Li Yuan was the most outstanding one.

S+Rank awakened talent, plus special foreign bloodlines.

It allowed him, with an unparalleled crushing momentum, to secure the number one freshman spot at Qingjing University.

Faced with such a person, even she had no choice but to treat him with caution.

“So he was Suhang University’s team captain, that Saint Knight Zhou Yi.”

“Hehe, I don’t know what Suhang University was thinking, they actually preferred a Saint Knight and didn’t want a Priest at all.”

“That’s right, although the Saint Knight was a hidden profession, they were only strong in status enhancement. In healing and recovery, they really could not compare with professional Priests.”

“…” Once Zhou Yi was mentioned, the people from Qingjing University all began to discuss.

It had to be known that Suhang University’s expedition team without a Priest greatly shocked their school.

After all, as top‑tier universities themselves, they did not dare to go without including a Priest.

In fact, the Priest in the team was even their deputy captain!

“When the competition started, I would definitely make him see why the flowers were so red!” Someone rubbed his fists and said.

“Don’t get too excited, Zhou Yi’s strength was much greater than what you had imagined, his level is already 22.” Cheng Yongchun, who was walking ahead, spoke up.

“Fuck??! 22 levels? So high? I’m only 18 levels!”

“Brother Yuan was only 20 levels, right? And he was actually two levels higher than Brother Yuan?”

“Hiss, is this meant to crush us by levels?”

“…” Upon learning Zhou Yi’s level, everyone instantly gasped in low voices.

Even the elf girl Xia Lan was slightly surprised.

It had to be known…

Once a professional’s level approached 20, the experience required for leveling up greatly increased.

For a freshman, reaching level 18 was considered very good.

Unexpectedly, this Zhou Yi was 22 levels, a full four levels higher than this group of theirs!

The disparity was self‑evident!

“22 levels?” Li Yuan also revealed a look of keen interest.

Ahead, Cheng Yongchun, who saw everyone become tense, also nodded in satisfaction.

As one of the top universities, Suhang University could not possibly make such a rookie mistake.

Otherwise, either Zhou Yi would have been used as a Priest, or the strength of the entire team would have given them the confidence that they could easily win even without a Priest.

“No matter what, there must have been something fishy here; Zhou Yi might just be their powerful trump card!”

“But Old Wu, if you have a trump card, how could I not have one?” Cheng Yongchun had a smile appear at the corner of his mouth.

In the team behind him, a slender young boy kept his head down, seeming to have no interest in anything around him.

He merely fiddled with the small robot in his hand.

The small robot, under his control, astonishingly switched out into dozens of forms within a single second…

…

“Phew, I could finally rest for a few days.”

“Is anyone going to the city center later?”

“I want to go, I want to go!”

“…” After returning to the student villa, the group enthusiastically discussed the upcoming schedule.

After all, it was the most core directly‑administered city of Zhongxia Country, and they had limitless curiosity.

“Brother Zhou Yi, are you coming along?” Jiang Churan looked towards Zhou Yi with her big eyes.

“Mm, let’s go together,” Zhou Yi nodded slightly, smiling as he said.

He was very interested in the bustling Qingjing City.

“Alright, then I’ll send Xia Lan a message to tell her that I’ll come back later.” Jiang Churan’s eyes lit up, and she took out her phone and immediately began sending a message to Xia Lan.

Apart from Jiang Churan and Zhou Yi, everyone else also prepared to go to Qingjing City’s downtown.

In the end, all ten members of the Suhang University team, including Zhou Yi, returned to their rooms and changed into their regular uniforms.

Then they stepped out of the student villa.

The final of the exchange competition involved a total of ten universities, and the registration time for Qingjing University was October 25th.

At that time, it was close to noon, and almost all of the ten universities already arrived.

Zhou Yi and his group just stepped out of the villa.

They then saw many students wearing other schools’ uniforms walking along the road, laughing and chatting, and occasionally eyeing the surroundings.

“Rongyang University, Hancheng University, these TOP10 universities are still strong…” The ranking of schools in Zhongxia Country was based on their comprehensive educational strength and resources.

Therefore, although some schools were rated as TOP10 universities, they were not necessarily selected every year to participate in the finals of the national university freshmen exchange competition.

However, even so, a few very familiar TOP10 universities could still be seen.

In fact, among them, several were the very ones that Zhou Yi rejected after awakening his S+Rank talent…

“Zhou Yi!” Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Following the sound, Zhou Yi saw a group of people walking in this direction.

This group wore Hancheng University’s uniforms.

At the forefront was a female teacher with a graceful countenance, wearing an instructor’s uniform.

“Zhou Yi, it truly was you.” Upon seeing Zhou Yi turn his head, the female teacher also smiled.

“Hello, Teacher Zhu.” … Zhou Yi nodded slightly, smiling as he said.

This teacher from Hancheng University was none other than Zhu Yu, who, before the college entrance examination, was among the three top‑tier universities he planned to attend, and who was the only one not to show anger but rather to express great admiration.

“Zhou Yi, your strength has improved too fast!” After carefully scrutinizing Zhou Yi from top to bottom, Zhu Yu involuntarily clicked her tongue in amazement.

When they met in June, Zhou Yi was only level 13; after five months of not seeing each other, he transformed into level 22!

“Even a rocket ride wouldn’t have been this fast!”

“It’s all because the school cultivated us well.” Zhou Yi smiled.

After casually chatting with Zhu Yu for a few sentences, he then departed together with Jiang Churan and the others.

“Teacher Zhu, is this the Suhang Province’s Provincial Top Scorer Zhou Yi that the school had once strived to secure, but failed to obtain?” Among the Hancheng University student team, someone curiously asked.

“That’s right.” Zhu Yu did not conceal it, and said directly.

After all, that was the fact.

“As expected of the Provincial Top Scorer of back then, his aura was indeed extraordinary…” Within the team, some girls became infatuated.

And there were others who swore, “Teacher Zhu, don’t worry, this time we would definitely clinch one of the top three positions. Let those top universities have a good look; we Hancheng University were not to be taken lightly!”

The preliminary selection for the national university freshmen exchange competition selected a total of seven schools.

And Hancheng University was almost the strongest among these seven schools.

“Alright, alright, alright, I got it.”

“Let’s go, our dormitory area is just ahead.” Gazing at the group of energetic students, Zhu Yu also involuntarily smiled.

And she did not notice that one of the girls in her squad, who was watching Zhou Yi’s departing figure, showed a suspicious expression…
