SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Guaranteed Top 100, Second High School’s Rising Star!

TL: YYang

“To have both skills succeed, Zhou Yi’s strength attribute must be at least 50 points!”

“Even without the battle axe’s Weapon Blessing bonus, Zhou Yi’s base strength attribute is at least 35 points!”

Education Bureau Director Jia Tao, with his sharp gaze, spoke with certainty.

However, what he didn’t know was that Zhou Yi’s base strength attribute was already 45 points, and with the battle axe’s bonus, his current strength attribute reached a terrifying 66 points!!

This was precisely why his Tiger Assault and Air Slash succeeded against the berserk elite Minotaur.

“With a strength attribute of 35 points, no wonder he dared to solo the Nightmare dungeon. He was well-prepared.”

At this moment, Jia Tao realized he might have underestimated Zhou Yi.

Such a strength attribute was already comparable to some geniuses in the provincial capital!

“Hiss, that combo of Tiger Assault and Air Slash was so cool!”

“Exactly, it felt just like the edited clips we see online, got my blood boiling!”

A student exclaimed excitedly.

It’s important to note—

Battle scenes that stand out online require extremely stringent conditions.

Such a high evaluation was not given lightly.

In fact, the teachers at Second High School shared this sentiment.

As experienced high school teachers, they possessed considerable strength.

When watching students’ battles and techniques, they often saw many mistakes and flaws.

But watching Zhou Yi fight felt incredibly satisfying.

Perfectly timed skill releases and absolute confidence in his own strength.

All of this.

Made it hard to believe that this was the battle scene of a mere level 10 senior student.

“The elite Minotaur has been defeated!”

At this moment, Jia Tao’s eyes lit up as he focused on the screen.

“Amazing! Truly amazing!”

“Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on having such a prodigy at Second High School!”

Jia Tao’s initial displeasure vanished, replaced by a bright smile.

Generally speaking, an Education Bureau Director shouldn’t speak out of turn.

But firstly, he came to Second High School specifically for Zhou Yi.

Secondly, Zhou Yi’s performance was so outstanding that words of praise slipped out naturally.

Moreover, to reach the position of Education Bureau Director, he was an experienced teacher who had witnessed many college entrance exams.

He knew that with Zhou Yi’s performance, he was almost certainly the top scorer at Second High School.

In Suhang Province, his score would likely place him in the top 100!

If Zhou Yi continued to excel in subsequent stages and defeated the BOSS, he might even make it into the top 20 in the province!

Thus, building a good relationship with Second High School and forming a positive connection seemed worthwhile.

“The wheel of fortune turns, and it’s time for our Second High School to produce a remarkable talent!”

“Hahahaha…”

Principal Luo was also thrilled, clenching his fists in excitement.

Lijiang City was just a small prefecture-level city under Suhang Province.

And Lijiang Second High School was ranked in the middle to lower tier among the several high schools in Lijiang City.

Since its establishment, the best college entrance exam result from Lijiang Second High School was only 721st in the province.

Now, with Zhou Yi’s transfer to Saint Knight, a top 100 provincial ranking was guaranteed. How could Principal Luo not be delighted?

“I knew Zhou Yi’s decision to decline the TOP 10 universities wasn’t due to arrogance but because he had confidence in his abilities!!”

Principal Luo felt fortunate about his decision.

If he had insisted on Zhou Yi accepting the special admissions from the TOP 10 universities, not only might Zhou Yi have ignored him, but it would also have left a poor impression.

“I think Zhou Yi is aiming for the top fifty in the province.”

“Old Wang, you’re being conservative. I say he’s at least in the top thirty!”

“The school’s best record should be broken this year.”

“Zhou Yi is truly a rising star of our Second High School!”

The teachers nearby were already starting to praise.

“Old Li, come sit over here.”

Principal Luo eagerly gestured for Class 5 homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang to join him.

Originally, a vice principal was seated next to the principal, but he made way for Li Xiangyang, the homeroom teacher of Class 5.

With Zhou Yi’s outstanding performance, Li Xiangyang, as his homeroom teacher, also shared in the glory.

Sitting next to the principal and seeing his old rival Tang Tianjun’s envious expression, Li Xiangyang felt a sense of satisfaction.

After competing with Tang Tianjun for so many years, this was his first time enjoying such prestige.

In his moment of pride, Li Xiangyang also silently cheered for Zhou Yi.

Halfway through a journey of a hundred miles was still halfway.

Although Zhou Yi had defeated the elite Minotaur, the toughest part was still the final BOSS battle.

As a Nightmare-level dungeon, the BOSS’s strength was terrifying.

He only hoped that in the upcoming BOSS battle, Zhou Yi could maintain his composure.

Watching Li Xiangyang become the principal’s honored guest and engage in conversation with the Education Bureau Director, the two rocket class homeroom teachers exchanged glances and smiled wryly.

Though helpless, they understood.

Even their top students likely couldn’t match Zhou Yi’s excellence.

“Let’s just hope they can perform beyond expectations.”

In light of Zhou Yi’s impressive performance, the two rocket class homeroom teachers could only hope for the best.

“He’s entering the next stage!!”

Soon, Zhou Yi stepped into the portal.

“He’s entering the next stage so quickly? Why not rest a bit longer?”

Principal Luo Heng frowned slightly, and many teachers straightened up, their expressions serious.

The stage didn’t have a time limit for entry.

Generally, after clearing a stage of monsters, one would rest for a while to recover before entering the next stage.

“Reckless!”

Director Jia also frowned.

If Zhou Yi failed in the upcoming BOSS battle due to not recovering properly, it would be a huge loss!

“Senior Zhou is too impatient.”

“Ah, he should have rested more.”

“……”

Seeing Zhou Yi choose not to rest and directly step into the portal, the entire faculty and student body, who had been immersed in joy, quickly grew tense.
