SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Rankings Announced, Top Scorer of Suhang Province!

TL: YYang

Although Zhou Yi had not completely cured his sister Zhou Yun, he felt relieved after learning about her specific condition and how to cope with it from Cui Jianghai.

Following Cui Jianghai’s advice, the next day he gave Zhou Yun a Blood Nourishment Pill.

Sure enough, that very night, she did not experience any more eruptions of cold air within her body.

The intense pain caused by the cold air was resolved.

Zhou Yun was overjoyed and insisted on being discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Having spent over half a year in the hospital, the little girl was quite fed up.

However, to be cautious, Zhou Yi did not choose to let Zhou Yun leave immediately.

Instead, he opted for her to continue staying in the hospital for observation for a while longer.

As a luxury ward, it naturally had a companion room.

Unlike ordinary companion rooms, the sixth-floor companion room was equipped almost like a luxury hotel suite.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi decided to stay there as well.

……

Five days gradually passed.

Zhou Yi maintained a disciplined lifestyle while living in the hospital.

Every day, he completed 200 sit-ups, 200 squats, and 200 push-ups, and ran twenty kilometers along the river. (literally just noticed that’s One Punch Man’s workout x2)

Completing these daily tasks was a must.

Most of the time, he chose the 10-point free attribute reward.

As a Saint Knight, balancing melee and spellcasting capabilities, both constitution and intelligence points were very important.

However, he did not neglect the other attribute points either.

He generally allocated his four-dimensional attributes in a ‘2-3-2-3’ manner.

Balanced development minimized weaknesses.

Of course, besides free attribute points, he also opted for skill point rewards.

All of his skills were no longer at the initial LV1.

If he wanted to level up his skills again, it would consume a significant number of skill points.

For example, upgrading the LV3 Victory Spear to LV4 required about 8 skill points.

The primary function of the Victory Spear was to restrict monster movement.

According to the skill description, the judgment for binding monsters was mainly related to his strength and intelligence attributes.

If he spent 8 skill points to upgrade it to LV4, it would only increase the damage slightly without extending the binding time, which was not worth it.

Many of the skills he had were in this situation.

High consumption, low improvement.

Considering the cost of attribute points and the fact that he would soon be attending one of the three top universities, he temporarily refrained from using this portion of skill points.

He planned to save them for learning other new skills after entering school.

Aside from tasks and exercise-related matters, he often took his sister Zhou Yun out to play and wander around.

He also took the opportunity to re-register her for school.

A year ago, when Zhou Yun’s cold air erupted, it was during the summer vacation of her first year of junior high.

Having been delayed for a year, she was supposed to start from the second year.

However, during her time in the hospital, Zhou Yun had not been idle; she self-studied all the second-year courses.

After a simple test at the school confirmed that Zhou Yun could keep up with the learning pace, Zhou Yi proceeded to register her for the third year of junior high.

By September, she would be able to report for school directly.

During these five days, there had been no news regarding the announcement of the Suhang Province college entrance examination results.

Zhou Yi himself was not particularly concerned.

On the contrary, Principal Luo Heng was quite anxious and pretended to be calm while calling to offer comfort.

In addition to the principal, the Education Bureau Director Jia Tao and Secretary Zhao Wenbin had also visited frequently during this time.

For a moment, many people in the hospital were buzzing about the mysterious big shot residing in Room 604 on the sixth floor.

This led to Zhou Yi occasionally sensing some curious glances directed at him while he was out exercising.

Naturally, he chose to ignore it.

On June 7th, six days after the college entrance examination ended.

In the spacious single companion room on the sixth floor of Lijiang City First People’s Hospital, a tall figure with an exposed upper body was training with a battle axe.

Chop, hack, sweep, slash…

The giant battle axe, weighing over 40 kilograms, seemed to pose no burden to him; each swing of the axe was executed with impeccable form.

His muscles slightly bulged from exertion.

Unlike those fitness enthusiasts with excessively large muscles, each of his muscles was not particularly big but incredibly well-proportioned.

As he performed his exercises, he displayed an extreme sense of power.

“Whoosh—”

After another set of training movements, Zhou Yi paused, standing with the axe in hand.

The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

In the reflection of the sunlight, waves of heat rose from his body.

Glistening beads of sweat slowly slid down his chiseled, resolute face.

With the growth of his strength and constitution attributes, the bronze twin-star battle axe was becoming insufficient.

However, with thousands of extreme axe-swinging training sessions, it could still provide considerable training benefits.

As a supplementary training routine after completing his daily tasks, it was quite effective.

“Ding dong~~~”

Suddenly, a notification sound rang from the phone placed on the table.

Setting down the heavy axe, he picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead and put on his clothes.

Zhou Yi then walked over to the table and picked up his phone.

A text message was prominently displayed on the lock screen:

‘Zhou Yi, a student from Lijiang City Second High School, the Suhang Province college entrance examination rankings have been announced. Please check promptly.’

“The college entrance examination rankings are out!”

Zhou Yi’s eyes brightened.

Just as he was about to check carefully, the door clicked open.

Zhou Yun’s figure appeared in the doorway.

She held her phone in her right hand, and her cute round face was filled with excitement.

“Brother!! The rankings are out! You are the number one in Suhang Province, the top scorer is you!!”

Zhou Yun dashed over and threw herself into Zhou Yi’s arms.

“Yeah, I know.”

Zhou Yi ruffled Zhou Yun’s little head, his eyes also carrying a hint of excitement.

The rankings were announced, and the achievement task for the college entrance examination was completed.

The system rewards that belonged to him should also be within reach now!!
