SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: S+ Talent, Heart of Machinery! Saint Knight VS Mechanic!

“However, I’m no pushover either!”

“Rage Slash!”

Li Yuan’s eyes suddenly turned red, and his right arm abruptly thickened, filling up his battle armor!

The battle knife in his hand was even surrounded by a layer of crimson astral qi!

With a hint of madness, this slash went directly towards Zhou Yi.

Hwa—

Zhou Yi’s expression did not change. The Blood-Weeping Battle Axe swung up, and like an angry dragon, it also chopped down!

Boom!

One battle knife and one battle axe slashed together, making a huge sound.

The two weapons intersected, actually forming a visible air wave that quickly spread out towards the distance.

“How is that possible?!”

Feeling the terrifying counter-shock from the handle of his saber, Li Yuan let out a low growl like a wild beast.

Rage Slash!

Although the name sounded very ordinary, this was a genuine A-Rank skill!

Usually, with this one slash, he was confident in killing even a level 20 Gold-grade magical beast.

However…

Such a slash, carrying immense power, was actually blocked by a casual axe swing from Zhou Yi, who hadn’t even released any skills!

“I don’t believe it!”

Li Yuan let out a roar, and holding his saber and shield, he went forward again.

But Zhou Yi also swung his battle axe and laughed loudly:

“Then I’ll beat you until you believe it!”

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”…

Li Yuan and Zhou Yi, one using a saber and shield and the other using a battle axe, turned into two phantoms, one crimson and one golden yellow, and quickly fought together.

The casual collisions between their weapons would cause huge sounds, as if they were about to rupture eardrums!

“Hahaha, satisfying!”

Zhou Yi swung his axe again and again, his eyes filled with fervent fighting spirit.

As expected of Qingjing University’s captain!

This was the first time he had encountered a peer who could compete with him head-on in terms of strength!

The opportunity was rare, so Zhou Yi didn’t plan to release any other skills. He would enjoy it for a while first!!

“This Zhou Yi, what terrifying strength!”

Li Yuan was anxious in his heart. “With every impact, the weight of the battle axe itself brings me a huge burden. Although my battle knife is wider than an ordinary battle knife, compared to the weight of the battle axe, it’s simply not enough! And Zhou Yi’s strength attribute is definitely higher than mine! The two combined mean that every time our weapons connect, the counter-shock force I bring to Zhou Yi is small, while the counter-shock force he brings to me is large! If this goes on, I’ll soon run out of stamina!”

Li Yuan subconsciously looked back.

At this time, the others from Suhang University had also arrived. The Spirit Swordmaster, with her agile movements and exquisite swordsmanship, had an incomparably strange sword style.

Moreover, it faintly carried a sense of charm, making her very difficult to deal with. The other physical output on his team was struggling to resist!

In addition, the other members were almost all being suppressed!

“Bastard!”

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.

The entire Qingjing University was using an extremely common warrior-mage-priest lineup. The team’s support Priest had almost no combat power.

And the remaining five people from Suhang University all had a certain amount of output.

It would be strange if they weren’t being suppressed!

“Where are you looking?”

Just then, the battle axe glowing with golden holy light attacked again.

“Not good!”

Only then did Li Yuan come back to his senses. He wanted to block with his shield, but it was already too late!

Just as the battle axe was about to hit Li Yuan, the air behind Zhou Yi on his right suddenly distorted.

A silver-white robot the size of a basketball, shaped like a bee, revealed its form.

Its sharp tail stinger, glinting with a cold light, aimed at Zhou Yi’s neck like a sharp knife, and then stabbed fiercely!

“Hmm?”

Zhou Yi’s brow furrowed, and a circle of a pale golden halo suddenly appeared around his body:

“Holy Light Guardian!”

Ding!

With just one stab, the entire Holy Light Guardian halo shattered.

And after one failed strike, the bee robot was about to merge into the air again like a chameleon!!

However, just at this moment, the Blood-Weeping Battle Axe arrived!

Bang!

Under the chop of the Blood-Weeping Battle Axe, which weighed over a thousand kilograms, the entire bee robot directly exploded, turning into a ball of fire and falling to the ground.

“A stealth robot, what high attack damage!”

Zhou Yi’s gaze slightly narrowed.

The B+ Rank skill Holy Light Guardian had been raised by him to LV9 and could absorb a large amount of physical damage.

Under normal circumstances, even a Berserker with powerful attack power would need at least three or four consecutive attacks to break it.

However…

Now it was actually broken by a single stab from a small bee-shaped stealth robot. How could he not be shocked?

“Brother Xuan has made a move!”

Li Yuan, who had luckily escaped from under Zhou Yi’s axe, was overjoyed.

“Leave Zhou Yi to me. You go with Xia Lan and the others to deal with the rest.”

A tall and thin young man, protected by several flying robots, walked up, his voice carrying a faint tone of command.

However, the captain of Qingjing University, Li Yuan, did not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

After nodding slightly, he turned his steps and immediately charged towards the melee on the other side.

“Wang Xuan?”

Looking at this young man, Zhou Yi’s sword-like eyebrows raised.

The Qingjing University representative team had a total of six people.

Among them were two warriors, one Priest, one Divine Archer, one Mage, and one Mechanic.

And this level 19 Mechanic, Wang Xuan, was a very inconspicuous one in the entire team.

In the previous battles, he had not shown too outstanding combat power.

Unexpectedly, the other party had also hidden his strength!

“To be able to enter the fourth round of the solo competition, I should have guessed long ago that your strength was not ordinary.”

In yesterday’s third round of the solo competition, a total of 11 contestants advanced to the fourth round.

And this Wang Xuan was one of them.

“Hehe, I was originally planning to hide my strength to deal with Wei He from Modu University. I didn’t expect you to push our entire team into such a miserable state. If I didn’t stand up, I’m afraid we would have lost.”

Wang Xuan smiled and shrugged.

The blue light dots hovering around him scattered like a fairy scattering flowers.

After landing, blue and white arcs of light flashed, turning into one tall robot after another!!

There were a great number of these robots, densely packed, at least two hundred!

As soon as these robots landed, some of them went to support Li Yuan and the others.

The remaining nearly one hundred and fifty robots all looked at Zhou Yi.

Among these robots, there were large robots carrying missiles, and also stealth robots similar to the bee robot that could become invisible.

At this moment, their red holographic identification camera modules looked over without a trace of emotional fluctuation, giving people a strange and strong sense of immense pressure!

[Monster: GX-100 Model Bee Robot]

[Level: 21]

[Quality: Silver☆]

…

[Monster: BT-200 Ranger]

[Level: 22]

[Quality: Silver☆☆]

…

[Monster: DY-S Light Rocket Robot]

[Level: 21]

[Quality: Silver☆☆]

…

“Hmm? The levels of these robots are actually all around 21 and 22?”

Seeing the information about these robots displayed by the appraisal technique, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

One must know—

The machines created by a Mechanic could not exceed their own level!

And this Wang Xuan was only level 19. How could he create so many machines that were of a higher level than himself?

In fact, besides Zhou Yi, the many spectators in the stadium were also extremely surprised.

“What’s the situation? How can this Mechanic’s machine levels be so much higher than his own?”

“Not only that, the quality of these machines are all Silver-grade. How ridiculous!”

“Indeed, to build an ordinary level 20 Silver-grade BT-200 Ranger, the material cost alone would be over a million!”

“…”

The Mechanic was a very resource-intensive profession.

Every single robot needed to be built by purchasing alloys and metals.

And this manufacturing was not a one-time success.

Often, after several uses of the manufacturing skill, it would only succeed once.

And for the other failed manufactures, those alloys and metals would also be scrapped.

Although the scrapped alloys and metals could also be recycled, the recycling price was less than a quarter of the original…

Therefore, to build one’s own mechanical army, a large amount of money was unavoidable!

…

This was also why, in high school, some class teachers would advise students from poor families not to choose the Mechanic profession.

Once there were not enough financial resources to create powerful robots, the Mechanic was half-crippled…

And it was obvious that this Wang Xuan had spent a lot of energy and money on machine manufacturing!

These nearly two hundred Silver-grade robots, just the material costs alone, were probably close to two or three hundred million!!

“For an ordinary Mechanic, the level of the robots they create cannot exceed their own level.”

“But with some extremely rare awakening talents, it is still possible to do so.”

“This contestant Wang Xuan from Qingjing University seemed to have such an awakening talent.”

On the commentary stage, Wang Kun’s voice sounded in a timely manner, immediately making the audience come to a realization.

That was right…

The awakening talents possessed by professionals were strange and varied. It was not strange to have an awakening talent that allowed a Mechanic to create machines beyond their level.

…

…

“Dean Cheng, it seemed your Qingjing University also had a hidden trump card.”

In the team’s spectator section, Wu Mang, wearing the uniform of a Suhang University instructor, looked at Cheng Yongchun.

The voice that came from his chest echoed like thunder.

“Of course!”

Cheng Yongchun was quite proud, so he didn’t hide it anymore:

“Wang Xuan is the strongest in our current batch of freshmen! He possessed the S+ talent, Heart of Machinery!”

“It’s just that for some other reasons, he didn’t participate in our school’s new student competition.”

“Coupled with our deliberate concealment, you naturally couldn’t collect his true information.”

S+ talent, Heart of Machinery!

A professional with this talent had an extraordinary sensitivity to machinery!

It could greatly increase the success rate of manufacturing machines and allowed one to create machines across levels!

It could be said to be the talent that Mechanics dreamed of.

Back then, after he knew that Wang Xuan had this talent, he didn’t say a word and directly took him in as a personal student.

“S+ talent…”

Wu Mang’s eyes flickered.

As long as it was an S+ Rank talent, it would give a professional an incomparably powerful ability in a certain aspect.

This was true for Zhou Yi, and it was the same for this Wang Xuan!

“A Saint Knight against a Mechanic. It seems the final victor of this team competition will depend on which of the two of them wins.”
