SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: College Entrance Exam Concluded, Worsening Condition

TL: YYang

Zhou Yi’s college entrance exam had come to an end.

It concluded amidst countless applause and cheers.

In the group photo, the principal, Education Bureau Director, homeroom teacher, and various other teachers all wore radiant smiles.

“Zhou Yi, the college entrance exam is over. The results will be out in three days at the earliest, and seven days at the latest.”

Principal Luo Heng exchanged pleasantries for a moment and didn’t linger on the details.

“As soon as the news arrives, we will notify you immediately. You should take some time to rest; you’ve worked hard during this period!”

Education Bureau Director Jia Tao also took out his phone and instructed:

“Driver, bring my car over to take Zhou Yi home.”

Amidst the various gazes, the vehicle carrying Zhou Yi slowly drove out of Second High School.

Zhou Yi’s college entrance exam had completely concluded.

Meanwhile, the examinees still in the dungeon had to continue.

If they failed the exam, they would have to consider repeating the year or directly choosing a less prestigious university.

However…

This no longer concerned him.

…

…

At Lijiang City First People’s Hospital, in the outpatient department.

As the best medical facility in Lijiang City, it was bustling with people every day.

“Boom—”

At that moment, accompanied by the low rumble of an engine, a sleek black Mercedes S-400 drove in from a distance and stopped at the outpatient entrance.

The streamlined body and understated luxury of the car immediately drew the attention of passersby.

All eyes were focused on the vehicle.

The latest model Mercedes S-400 could accelerate to 100 km/h in just one second, with a top speed of 600 km/h.

As a magical mechanical creation, in critical moments, this car could switch to flight mode, capable of low-speed flight for one or two hours without issue.

“Wow, it’s the latest Mercedes S-400!!”

“Which big shot has arrived?”

“……”

Many people marveled, as such luxurious vehicles were quite rare in the small city of Lijiang.

Amidst the curious gazes of those around, a tall young man with a resolute face stepped out of the car.

“Uncle Li, thank you for your trouble.”

He thanked the driver and, ignoring the astonished looks around him, walked through the outpatient department directly to the sixth floor of the inpatient department.

Since the city government fulfilled its promise and arranged for a dedicated medical team to come, his sister Zhou Yun had been placed in the luxurious medical room 604 on the sixth floor.

“Mr. Zhou.”

As soon as he reached the door, a robust bodyguard dressed in black respectfully called out.

Zhou Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

The man was a bodyguard arranged by Secretary Zhao Wenbin from the city government, responsible for monitoring Zhou Yun’s condition 24/7. If anything happened, he would report to Zhou Yi and the city government.

Zhou Yi had seen him every day for the past month.

The two had become somewhat acquainted.

“Brother, you’re back?”

Hearing the noise, Zhou Yun rushed out like a bird returning to its nest.

With a leap, she jumped straight into Zhou Yi’s arms.

“Brother, did you finish the college entrance exam so quickly?”

After her excitement, Zhou Yun tilted her little head, looking adorably confused.

In her impression, the college entrance exam dungeon shouldn’t end so fast.

Could it be…

Did her brother fail the dungeon and get eliminated?

Sensing Zhou Yun’s thoughts, Zhou Yi playfully pinched her soft nose and smiled:

“I came back after completely clearing the dungeon.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yi gently placed Zhou Yun on the hospital bed and looked at Liu Qing, the nurse, with sincerity.

Compared to a month ago, Zhou Yun’s complexion had improved significantly, and she could bounce around now.

If it had been before, even if she wanted to leap into his arms, she wouldn’t have had the strength.

All of this was thanks to Liu Qing, who had continuously cast healing spells on Zhou Yun every day.

“It’s no trouble at all; it’s my job,” Liu Qing replied with a light smile.

As a level 23 Priest, she had her own responsibilities.

When she was first assigned to this task, she was somewhat displeased, thinking she would be serving some high-ranking official.

But upon learning that her charge was Zhou Yi, who had triggered a miracle and transferred to Saint Knight, her mood took a complete 180-degree turn.

Serving such an outstanding talent made her feel justified.

“How has Little Yun been doing lately?” Zhou Yi asked while peeling fruit.

“Not very optimistic,” Liu Qing shook her head. “The coldness emanating from Little Yun’s body has been worsening. If this continues, even I won’t be able to suppress it.”

“Worsening? Can’t suppress it?”

Zhou Yi’s brow furrowed, and his hand paused while peeling the fruit.

If even Liu Qing, a level 23 Priest, couldn’t handle it, that would be troubling.

“But you don’t need to worry too much. I received a notification from Mr. Zhao this morning. A level 35 Priest from Qingyun City has agreed to our request and will come tonight to provide comprehensive treatment for Little Yun.” Liu Qing smiled.

A month ago, the city government had promised to send a high-level Priest.

Unfortunately, Lijiang City was located at the northernmost edge of Suhang Province, where resources were scarce, and high-level professionals were extremely rare.

The situation in surrounding cities was similar to that of Lijiang City; having a level 23 Priest was already quite good.

As for other cities further away, although they had high-level Priests, their schedules were packed.

Thus, it had taken until now to find a level 35 second-transfer Priest willing to make time for a visit.

“That’s great!!”

Zhou Yi’s eyes brightened at the news.

On Blue Star, the higher the level of the professional, the rarer they were.

A level 35 professional could already be considered a formidable figure!

And a level 35 second-transfer Priest capable of casting purification spells was even rarer.

He believed that under such a skilled healer, his sister’s mysterious illness could be swiftly cured!!
