SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Registration for the Individual Competition! Zhou Xiaobai’s Speculation!

TL: Rui88

After the opening ceremony ended, Zhou Yi and his group took a flying vehicle and returned to the villa area on the ground.

Wu Mang said, “This afternoon there was no match for us, you could choose to act freely, or you could choose to go to the competition field to observe other schools’ team competitions.”

In front of the villa, Wu Mang spoke.

As the teachers leading the team, they only ensured the students’ safety.

In fact, they did not interfere much with the students’ activities.

Su Mei suggested, “This afternoon there are a total of three team competitions, with four universities participating in each, I suggest you go and take a look.”

On the side, Su Mei made her suggestion.

Although she only just took up the position as an instructor at the War College.

But even before that, she already possessed extremely rich experience in battlefield combat.

She naturally understood that letting these students have more exposure to team competitions.

It was absolutely beneficial for their future.

Song Xialan and the others tensed slightly, and immediately nodded, “Understood.”

Although Teacher Su Mei was young, she was quite popular at the War College.

Her advice could not possibly be ignored.

Jiang Churan asked in a gentle voice, “Brother Zhou Yi, are you going to the competition field this afternoon?”

She stood right next to Zhou Yi, her figure graceful and alluring.

Her black ponytail, tied high, gently swayed with the breeze.

Zhou Yi nodded, “Mm.”

Any professional who wished to ascend to the pinnacle almost invariably joined a legion or a guild.

As their legion set out for the battlefield, they gained experience for leveling up.

And on the battlefield, circumstances were unpredictable, and one misstep could result in death.

Although the number of participants in the team competition was few, the tank position, support position, and output position were all present, and it could almost be called a small-scale battlefield.

Now, such a close-up observation opportunity was extremely rare.

Since it was not anyone else’s business, he definitely planned to go.

Jiang Churan’s beautiful eyes immediately brightened, “Then, let’s go together this afternoon.”

She never missed any opportunity to be alone with Zhou Yi.

Wu Mang said again, “Also, whoever wants to participate in the Individual Competition, sign up now; don’t wait until the evening.”

In front, Wu Mang spoke again.

Liu Yang asked in confusion, “Hmm? Wasn’t participation in the Individual Competition assumed for everyone?”

Unlike the team competition, everyone could participate in the Individual Competition, including substitute members.

Wu Mang explained, “In the representative teams of other schools, there were priest professionals; if everyone were assumed to sign up, wouldn’t those priest professionals just go up and get beaten up?”

“Moreover, some tank positions with almost no output ability wouldn’t sign up to ask for trouble.”

Upon hearing Wu Mang’s explanation, Liu Yang immediately understood.

Indeed.

Ultimately, the finals were broadcast live to the world.

Even many of the contestants’ family members and relatives watched on schedule.

Under such circumstances, automatically enrolling everyone and forcing priests or tank positions into the Individual Competition—

Merely getting beaten up was tolerable, after all, which professional had not been beaten up?

But having one’s one-sided beatings broadcast live to the entire world, even seen by one’s own relatives, was something that not everyone could accept.

Zhou Yi was the first to sign up, “Dean, I want to participate.”

The system achievement tasks were calculated according to the final comprehensive scores of the exchange competition; as for the Individual Competition, he naturally did not let it pass.

“I want to participate as well!”

“And me!”

“…”

After Zhou Yi signed up, Jiang Churan, Song Xialan, and the others also all spoke up in turn.

In the end, all ten of them chose to participate in the Individual Competition.

Wu Mang was very satisfied upon seeing this scene, “Hahaha, good! In a moment I’ll register all of your names!”

While the support and tank positions of other schools might have hesitated, at their Suhang University there was not a single wimp!!

…

…

On the other side, the team from Hancheng University also returned to the ground.

Zhu Yu looked at the students ahead with her beautiful eyes and instructed them, “This afternoon, we had a match, and our opponent was Jinzhong University.”

“This was Jinzhong University’s first time reaching the grand finals, although their strength could not be underestimated.”

“After lunch, everyone rest well, conserve your strength, and meet our first battle in the best possible condition!!”

In front of the villa, Zhu Yu gave her instructions.

Everyone nodded in earnest at the same time, “Understood!”

Zhu Yu announced the dismissal, “Alright, everyone, go have your meal; we will also reconvene here at 1:30 in the afternoon!”

Everyone dispersed.

Upon entering the villa, a tall girl asked Zhou Xiaobai, “Xiaobai, are we going to have a meal now? It’s already 11 o’clock.”

Zhou Xiaobai was a bit distracted.

She replied absentmindedly, “I still had some matters to attend to, so I would be a little late. If you got hungry, just go ahead without me.”

Then she returned to her own bedroom.

Subsequently, she closed the door to her room and drew the curtains.

After she carefully confirmed that the entire room had no other surveillance or eavesdropping devices,

only then did she take out her mobile phone, input a phone number, and click to dial.

Very soon, the call connected.

A projection of a middle-aged man, whose appearance was about 70–80% similar to Zhou Xiaobai’s, appeared in the bedroom.

Zhou Xiaobai was 1.67 meters tall, with fair skin and pretty features; at the university, she undoubtedly was a little beauty.

And that middle-aged man was also very handsome.

Between his brows, there was a composed and unhurried air of authority, clearly from having long resided in high positions…

The middle-aged man, dressed in a suit, seemed to be handling affairs.

Upon seeing Zhou Xiaobai’s call come in, he also paused accordingly, “Xiaobai, wasn’t today the opening ceremony of your exchange competition? Why did you have time to call me? And why did you specifically use the company’s internal line?”

Zhou Xiaobai said, “Dad, at today’s grand final opening ceremony, I discovered something…”

Zhou Heng, Zhou Xiaobai’s father.

He held a certain amount of influence within the entire Zhou family.

Regarding the matter of Zhou Yi possibly possessing the Ice Bloodline, she first thought of notifying her father, Zhou Heng.

Next, Zhou Xiaobai detailed the process of encountering Zhou Yi and expressed deep suspicion that he possessed the Ice Bloodline.

Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed, and his entire demeanor became solemn, “Ice Bloodline? Are you sure?!”

Zhou Xiaobai did not assert it outright, but was very cautious, “There was an 80% chance; whether it was truly so still required close-range contact to ascertain.”

After all…

Possessors of the Ice Bloodline in the vast Zhou family numbered only a very few!!

Zhou Heng’s eyes flickered, vaguely carrying a trace of excitement, “Alright, find an opportunity to get in touch with Zhou Yi.”

“I will simultaneously start an investigation on my side, to see whether this Zhou Yi indeed originated from our Zhou family!”

Ice Bloodline…

If it were truly confirmed, perhaps… the Zhou family would be saved!!

…

…

The afternoon team competition was scheduled to start at 2 o’clock…

At 1:30, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, who arranged beforehand, changed their clothes.

They walked down from the fourth floor to the first floor.

During their free time, everyone usually did not stay in their bedrooms.

At that moment it was the same; including Song Xialan, everyone sat leisurely on the living room sofa.

Jiang Churan asked aloud, “The match was about to begin; is anyone going together?”

Liu Yang hummed a little tune while waving his hand, “I was going to make a trip to the city center, so I wouldn’t be observing the afternoon team competition.”

In the entire expedition team, if one were to say who was the most leisurely and relaxed, it was definitely him.

Song Xialan laughed lightly, “I was going to go, but I wouldn’t disturb you all; in a little while, I’ll go together with Qingzhu and Siyu.”

The other two girls beside also showed ambiguous smiles, Yang Siyu and Zhao Qingzhu.

Such a scene naturally made Jiang Churan’s face turn bright red.

Jiang Churan said, “Then, we will leave first.”

After dropping that remark, Jiang Churan strode away with her long legs.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi smiled slightly and then followed.

…

…

In the audience seats of the Mechanical Floating Island, many spectators were already seated.

They chatted and laughed among themselves, eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.

“The first match was Hancheng University versus Jinzhong University!”

“Hancheng University had been ranked around 5th or 6th in previous years, and even had reached 4th last year; it was an old, formidable university.”

“And although Jinzhong University had entered the grand finals for the first time, judging from their performance in the previous national selections, their strength was likewise impressive!”

“The two schools had comparable strength; the upcoming battle was sure to be spectacular!”

“…”

In one corner of the audience, both Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan also arrived.

Soon, the time came to 2 o’clock.

A voice announced, “Hancheng University VS Jinzhong University! Please have both teams enter the arena!!”

A group of six from Hancheng University, and a group of six from Jinzhong University walked out from offstage, heading towards the arena 5.0.

At the same time, from the surrounding audience seats, cheers and shouts resounded:

“Hancheng University!!”

“Hancheng University!!”

“Jinzhong University!!”

“Jinzhong University!!”

“…”

From the city level to the provincial level and then to the national level, every team went through extremely brutal combat in order to advance.

Correspondingly, each university represented the hope of a province or city!!

At that moment, the people in the audience who cheered for both sides naturally came from Hancheng and Jinzhong provinces respectively.

“Is this what a team competition is like! It’s so exciting!”

“Hoo, I felt my fighting spirit boiling!!”

“…”

In such an environment, the members of the Hancheng University team also felt their blood boiling.

And at the end of the formation, Zhou Xiaobai subconsciously glanced toward the audience, scanned around, and quickly spotted the figure of Zhou Yi.

“He really had come…”

Having confirmed Zhou Yi’s arrival, Zhou Xiaobai also breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, later she also had the opportunity for close contact…
