SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Heavy Armor Transformed! Was His Fist Made of Alloy?

TL: Rui88

“Whoa, Brother Liu’s opponent was the captain of Suhang University.”

“The captain of Suhang University? That Saint Knight?”

“Yes, it seems that a fierce battle will follow.”

“A fierce battle? Hahaha, a Saint Knight was merely support; he would be directly crushed by Brother Liu!”

“…”

When all the contestants stepped onto the arena, the students from various top universities all began to focus on their own school’s members.

Chuan Nan University was no exception.

Their team’s captain, Liu Jie, was in the first batch to take the stage at Arena No. 6.

And when they saw that the captain’s opponent was that Zhou Yi, these people immediately relaxed.

Although the opponent was the captain of Suhang University, he was merely a Saint Knight in a support role; when facing an offensive knight, he would only be crushed.

Just as everyone thought about how to congratulate their captain for advancing through the first round of the competition.

At Arena No. 6, there was a resounding bang.

Captain Liu Jie was blasted away like a cannonball.

He smashed into the rear energy barrier, creating ripples, and then slowly slid down to the ground, never rising again…

“Hmm?? What just happened? I seem to have missed it?”

“Ah… how did the captain get blasted away?”

“…”

The Chuan Nan University team members wore puzzled expressions, wondering if they missed something.

The team mentor of Chuan Nan University wore a solemn expression, and then shook his head and sighed, saying:

“Such speed! Such strength! Is this what a captain-level figure from Suhang University is?”

“Even if he held a support position, his real combat ability was just as formidable.”

“Liu Jie underestimated his opponent; had he taken it seriously from the start, perhaps he would not have been defeated so quickly.”

But at that point, there was no use in saying anything further…

…

…

“Hehe, even if it is a support profession, it was support from a top university!! Not something ordinary school professionals could compare with!”

“They even underestimated him; was it that a casual defeat wasn’t quick enough…?”

“Tsk, as expected of Suhang University’s captain; his burst was remarkably high.”

“Indeed, for a support role, achieving this was not easy.”

“…”

As the captain of Suhang University, Zhou Yi naturally was the focus of attention for Qingjing University and Modu University.

However, unlike Chuan Nan University, they were not at all surprised by this scene.

After all, as the captain of Suhang University, even if he was only in a support role, his strength had to be far superior to that of ordinary university competitors.

Moreover, since he underestimated his opponent right from the start, ending up being instantly killed was entirely normal.

Of course, from their perspective,

Zhou Yi’s strength was roughly on par with that of their substitute players.

For a captain-level figure, this strength could only be described as average.

However, as a support role, Zhou Yi achieving this level was still quite commendable.

The team teacher from Qingjing University, Cheng Yongchun, smiled as he said to Wu Mang:

“Old Wu, your team’s Zhou Yi has impressive strength—he crushed his opponent right off the bat.”

The team teacher from Modu University, Su Rui, also nodded slightly, “Indeed, for a support role, this level of strength is already very impressive.”

The observation seats of the three universities were arranged side by side, making it very easy to converse.

Wu Mang, on the surface, expressed modest gratitude, “Haha, you’re too kind, too kind.”

In his heart, however, he secretly nodded: ‘Not bad, he hasn’t revealed too much strength.’

If Zhou Yi displayed too much of his strength, then he would not be able to see old rival Cheng Yongchun’s astonished expression.

Of course, he also knew that this was only the first battle.

It was simply impossible to force Zhou Yi to reveal too much of his strength.

…

…

On the arena, Zhou Yi shook his head slightly, “Too weak…”

Straight Punch Impact was merely a D-grade skill.

He normally did not use it often, and even with added levels, it was only LV2.

Unexpectedly, with just one punch like that, the knight was not able to block it.

Zhou Yi thought, “Well, according to my current four-dimensional attributes, even a D-grade skill can cause massive damage.”

“Next, let’s see if the people from the other two top universities can bring me some surprises.”

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to Zhou Yi in the individual match.

However, being crushed right at the start dampened the fighting spirit that barely began to boil within him.

The announcement came, “Arena No. 6, the winner is Zhou Yi!”

Under Zhou Yi’s punch, Liu Jie already fell into unconsciousness.

At that moment, the match ended, and the priest medical team immediately stepped forward.

“Hiss! What a terrifying punch!”

“Even the heavy armor was dented! How fierce must that punch have been!”

“That’s outrageous!”

“…”

It was only one punch; the priest team originally thought that Liu Jie would sustain only minor injuries.

But upon approaching, they were all taken aback.

They saw that the tall Liu Jie had a pale complexion, and his breath was like a mere wisp.

The heavy armor at his chest was dented by nearly five or six centimeters!!

One had to remember that this was heavy armor!

Among all the armor types, it had the strongest defense!

Moreover, the area of the heavy armor that protected the chest was specially reinforced!

Under normal means, it was virtually impossible to deform it!

Yet, even so, it still was dented by the blow.

This was sufficient to demonstrate the terrifying power of that punch…

Watching Zhou Yi casually walk off the arena, someone in the priest medical team exclaimed, “Was his fist made of alloy?”

“For an ordinary professional, delivering a punch like that would probably ruin his own fist.”

The force was mutual; the power that dented the heavy armor, when applied to a human body, remarkably did not cause any harm.

This was simply incredible.

However, what he did not know was that Zhou Yi by then possessed both the Titan Divine Markings and Death Resistance talents, with his defense and recovery fully maxed out.

Naturally, he could not be harmed by the counteracting force.

…

…

In the audience, Zhou Heng’s eyes lit up, “Such incredible power! Is this Zhou Yi’s strength?”

Although his level was lower, his clan contained many strong figures, and that was apparent.

It was easy to discern the significance behind Zhou Yi’s punch.

Zhou Heng thought, “If he could blast an opponent clad in heavy armor with one punch, that indicated his strength attribute must be exceptionally high!”

“Among the hidden professions that holders of the Ice Bloodline in the clan could transfer into, it seemed that only one profession leaned towards the strength attribute…”

“But that might not necessarily be the case; other professions are quite good as well. Let’s have Xiaobai call Zhou Yi over later, and then decide after actually measuring his bloodline concentration.”

Just as Zhou Heng secretly analyzed, Zhou Lin and Zhou Dong’er were also mildly astonished.

However, their astonishment did not stop there.

After all, in their view, the strength that Zhou Yi displayed was roughly on par with that of his peers within the clan.

They were simply amazed that a support professional could possess such strength, which was exceedingly rare.

…

…

Ten arenas simultaneously started the individual matches.

While the others still engaged in fierce battles on the arenas, Zhou Yi walked down.

And he very keenly noticed that on Arena No. 1, a young man likewise stepped down.

This young man was tall and carried a battle knife in his hand.

Unlike ordinary battle knives, the blade of this battle knife did not appear wide; instead, it was rather slender.

Its overall design was somewhat similar to that of the Tang Knife from a previous life.

The razor-sharp blade, over a meter long, seemingly emitted an indescribably scorching aura.

Zhou Yi thought, “Modu University’s captain, Wei He…”

He quickly recalled this person’s profile in his mind.

Wei He, a level 20 warrior.

He was skilled in the use of the battle knife, possessed extremely formidable strength, and his blade technique skills were superb.

He once held a record of a combo of blade technique skills that killed a level 22 Epic-grade monster without taking any damage.

Seeing that Zhou Yi looked over, Wei He gracefully executed a blade flourish.

He sheathed his battle knife, and then called out, “That last battle was well fought; I look forward to fighting you in the future.”

Zhou Yi replied, “Alright, see you in the match.”

He also nodded slightly in response, and then withdrew his gaze, heading straight toward the spectator area where Suhang University was located.

“Brother Yi, amazing!”

“Instant kill! Brother Yi, you’re too amazing!”

“…”

Liu Yang and the others all raised their thumbs in admiration.

At that moment, Zhou Xiaobai from Hancheng University walked over:

“Brother Yi, people from the Zhou Family have arrived. How about we go and meet them now?”

Zhou Yi replied, “Alright, let’s go.”

After all, they would have to interact with the Zhou Family sooner or later.

At that time, with the first round of the competition completed and the advancement secured, the second round was scheduled for the afternoon.

Thus, Zhou Yi did not hesitate, and after exchanging a word with teachers Wu Mang and Su Mei, he directly left with Zhou Xiaobai.

And since Zhou Xiaobai’s individual match was the 39th bout, she was not in a hurry.
