SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 195

Chapter 195: One Strike Deciding the Victory! Absolute Crushing Power!

TL: Rui88

The match rankings were announced, and the host’s voice resounded:
“Please, the competing students from the first batch, matches 1 through 10, please proceed to the corresponding numbered arena!”

On the field, there were a total of ten arenas.

From 1 to 10, each arena had a marking symbol formed by holographic projection.

At this time, the students of the first ten matches all moved, heading toward their corresponding arenas.

Zhou Yi did the same.

Wearing Wrathful Dragon Light Armor, he walked upright toward Arena No. 6.

Behind him, he also carried a thick totem pillar engraved with various angel images.

These angel images were incredibly exquisite, but the only flaw was that the entire totem was somewhat fragmented, as if it might shatter at any moment.

[Equipment: Dilapidated – Holy Light Totem Pillar]
[Quality: Gold☆☆]
[Attributes: Strength +41, Intelligence +44]
[Level Requirement: Level 20 and above]
[Race Restriction: None]
[Profession Restriction: Warrior, Knight, Saint Knight]
[Effect: Upon equipping, Light element affinity increased by 30%, and the strength of Light-type and God-type buff skills increased by 30%.]

Indeed.

Zhou Yi did not use the Army Breaker Battle Axe, but used the conventional weapon of a Saint Knight — a totem.

This weapon was purchased specifically for Zhou Yi by Wu Mang before departing, spending credits.

In his words, a performance had to be done in full.

Since it was a support role, one should use a totem that was more geared toward support as a weapon.

When acting as a damage dealer, he would switch back to the battle axe.

For Zhou Yi, since the early stage always was a crushing victory, he naturally did not care about which weapon he used…

Jiang Churan cheered, “Brother Zhou Yi, keep it up!”

Her match was in Match 17; the first batch did not include her match.

Thus, she was able to cheer for Zhou Yi to her heart’s content.

Such an action caused Liu Yang and others to complain:
“With Brother Yi’s strength, he would undoubtedly win the first match easily. Is cheering even necessary?”

…
…

Just as Zhou Yi walked toward Arena No. 6, the audience seats welcomed the appearance of four figures – two men and two women.

The two men were both middle-aged; one wore a black suit and had a robust build.

The other looked even older, with hair that faintly turned gray.

However, his spirit was quite good, and his eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle.

Unlike the two men, the other two women were very young, appearing to be around 18 or 19 years old.

One dressed in a flowing blue garment and was tall.

Her pretty face carried a smile, giving off a sense of gentleness.

The other woman was the opposite, exuding a cold aura, as cold as ice.

Although the two women’s demeanors differed, one thing was the same: their appearances were very beautiful…

This group of four was none other than the Zhou Family and others who rushed over from Tianlan Province.

Zhou Heng said, “Fortunately, we had made it in time.”

Looking at the match below that had not yet started, Zhou Heng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Tianlan Province was about over 700 kilometers away from Qingjing City, and taking the high-speed train required only 7 to 8 hours to arrive.

Seven to eight hours, compared to other provinces and cities that might take one or two days to reach Qingjing, was considered fast.

However, for those who were eager to see Zhou Yi, it still was too slow.

Therefore, they arrived directly using the long-distance teleportation array.

However, because they could not be directly teleported to Qingjing University, and had to come from the public teleportation point in Qingjing City, it took quite a bit of effort.

Of course…

The tickets for the exchange match were long purchased, so they simply entered directly.

The girl in blue curiously scanned the surroundings, “This is the competition venue located within Qingjing University. It looks pretty good, doesn’t it?”

“And compared to our clan’s training ground, it was by no means inferior.”

Her name was Zhou Lin, and it was her first time entering Qingjing University.

She also once took the college entrance examination and achieved results to enter one of the top three universities.

However, she did not choose to enroll at the university, but instead stayed within the clan territory, receiving training from the clan’s elites.

In fact, many long-established clans did so.

They kept the clan members with exceptional talent for in-clan cultivation, while those with lesser talent enrolled at universities in an orderly fashion.

After all…

The heritage of a long-established clan was no less impressive compared to top-tier universities.

Also, like her, Zhou Dong’er did not attend university and directly received training within the clan.

Although their fathers did not get along well with each other, the relationship between the two was good.

Zhou Dong’er swept her beautiful eyes over the match arena below, and the coldness on her pretty face remained unchanged, “Uncle Heng, is the Zhou Yi you mentioned yesterday the one below here?”

Zhou Heng frowned slightly, “Dong’er, I had told you before coming, do not call him by his name; according to seniority, he is your elder brother!”

Zhou Dong’er retorted, “Hmph, if he wanted to be my brother, we’d have to see if he truly possessed that level of strength!”

The Zhou Family, with its centuries of history and flourishing branches, made her lose count of how many male cousins she had.

Yet within the clan, there was hardly anyone for whom she was willing to call “brother” so wholeheartedly!

The lean man with slightly graying hair by the side laughed, “Dong’er is right; as the illustrious daughter of the clan leader, how could you easily call someone ‘brother’?”

Upon hearing that, Zhou Heng frowned even more deeply.

However, he also knew that Zhou Dong’er was the cherished daughter of Clan Leader Zhou Yuan, so her pride was normal.

He simply did not mention the matter, and pointed to Arena No. 6 below, saying:
“That person wearing black light armor and carrying a totem pillar is Zhou Yi.”

The match did not begin, and at this moment, the holographic projection’s angle in midair still was fixed on the host’s platform.

The audience had to rely solely on their eyes to observe the situation at the arena below.

Because the venue was enormous, the audience seats were at least several hundred meters away from the arena.

Ordinary people were not able to see clearly with just their eyes.

However, Zhou Lin and Zhou Dong’er were professional competitors at level 18 and level 19, respectively.

At this moment, as they looked in the direction indicated by Zhou Heng, they indeed saw a tall young man, 1.9 meters in height, walking onto Arena No. 6.

The gentle Zhou Lin raised her brows slightly, “Regardless of his strength, his looks are quite handsome.”

Zhou Dong’er beside her also was somewhat surprised.

Even though they saw many talented young men before, they had to admit that Zhou Yi’s appearance and demeanor belonged to the top tier…

Zhou Heng smiled as he said, “Right from the start, we had caught Zhou Yi’s first match. It seems our luck had been good.”

“We can exactly see the strength of this number one new student from Suhang!”

Although a great deal of intelligence indicated that Zhou Yi was a combat genius before this,
after all, hearing was unreliable and seeing was believing.

Only by truly seeing him would one feel assured.

Zhou Dong’er remarked, “How much strength could a heavily armored, support-oriented Saint Knight possibly have?”

She did not hold much expectation for that.

After all, like the Priest, the Saint Knight only was a support profession.

At most, they were a bit more durable than a Priest.

The lean man beside spoke, “Hehe, Dong’er, you have got that wrong.”

“So what if he is a Saint Knight? As long as Zhou Yi actually has a bloodline concentration of 10 points, we have plenty of ways to let him change his profession again!”

For ordinary professionals, once they transferred professions, the profession became unchangeable.

However, for the Zhou Family, as long as Zhou Yi’s bloodline concentration was high enough, they could definitely allow him to change his profession again!

Zhou Lin asked, “10 degrees… Does Zhou Yi’s bloodline concentration really reach that high?”

She maintained a skeptical attitude about this.

After all, she and Zhou Dong’er, who were the ones with the highest concentration of Ice Bloodline among the young members of the clan, only were 3.2 degrees and 3.4 degrees, respectively.

Zhou Heng said, “Let’s talk about bloodline concentration later; the match is about to begin…”

As the participants entered, the energy shields of the ten arenas below slowly rose.

At the same time, in the surrounding audience seats, waves of cheers and shouts immediately erupted:
“Yu Hang!! Keep it up!”
“Liu Jie!! Win the first round!!”
“…”

The first batch of the individual matches actually was the debut for most of the participants.

Most of the names being chanted belonged to the relatives and friends of the competitors.

In fact, many voices cheered for Zhou Yi.

Upon closer inspection, the initiators of these cheers mostly were some young maidens…

…
…

At Arena No. 6.

Opposite the fully armed Zhou Yi, there was a tall young man clad in light armor and wielding a longsword.

The young man said, “I know you, the Saint Knight captain of Suhang University.”

“But you have not forfeited; instead, you have chosen to participate in the match.”

“It seems my luck had been good, right off the bat picking up a pushover…”

Looking at Zhou Yi, the tall young man had a look of ease on his face.

It was well known that support professions were weak in actual combat.

Why did the individual match ultimately only have 87 participants?

That was because 13 Priests or tanky meat shields chose to forfeit!!

At this moment, upon seeing that his opponent was the Saint Knight Zhou Yi, the young man naturally felt assured of victory.

He certainly knew that Zhou Yi was the captain of Suhang University’s team.

But what did that matter?

He was the captain of Chuan Nan University as well, a level 19 Knight!!

It had to be known that the Knight profession was an absolute damage dealer!

Facing a Saint Knight, he would undoubtedly crush him!

The announcement came, “Everyone, please prepare your equipment; the match is about to begin!”
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
“Begin!!”

As the holographic countdown on Arena No. 6 ended,
the tall Knight raised his longsword, aiming it at Zhou Yi, who was several tens of meters ahead, and with a haughty expression said:
“If you were to admit defeat now, I could let you lose in style…”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi suddenly vanished from sight ahead.

The tall young man was instantly startled, “What? Such speed!”

At the same time, a sensation of extreme danger came from behind him, causing his hair to stand on end!

“Not good!!”

The tall young man suddenly turned around, and his right-handed longsword swiftly blocked the attack coming directly at him.

Zhou Yi shouted, “Straight Punch Impact!”

At that moment, a fist radiating a dazzling white light suddenly slammed into his longsword.

“It was blocked!!”

No sooner did his delight surface than he felt as if a thousand catty of force transmitted from the point where his longsword blocked the punch!!

He saw the entire longsword bend from the point where the fist struck, and the sword’s blade slammed into the tall young man’s body!!

Then, with only a loud “bang” being heard, the tall young man was propelled from a state of complete stillness to extreme motion, as if he was blasted away like a cannonball!!!
