SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Strength Growth, Departure!

TL: YYang

There was still some time before the special admissions report date.

During this time, the gold-grade weapon, the Mystic Light Warhammer, that Zhou Yi had chosen was delivered to him.

This was a two-handed warhammer approximately 1.8 meters long.

The grip of the hammer had a diameter of about 6 centimeters and was about 1.6 meters long, while the hammerhead alone measured 20 centimeters in length.

On the thick and long hammer grip, many mysterious runes were engraved.

Combined with the warhammer’s dark metallic texture, a heavy and fierce aura unique to massive weapons surged forth.

Although the warhammer belonged to the same category of massive weapons as the battle axe, the methods of using the warhammer differed significantly from those of the battle axe.

Thus, during this time,

Zhou Yi began to intensely train his combat skills and familiarize himself with the new warhammer weapon.

The battle axe itself had a sharp attribute, making it easy to kill enemies with just a few strikes.

For example, in the college entrance examination dungeon, the Minotaurs were physically strong, but after receiving five or six strikes from the battle axe, they could only die with resentment.

However, in actual combat, human enemies would wear light armor, heavy armor, or even the extremely formidable plate armor with the best physical defenses!

High-level magical beasts also had heavy armor resembling exoskeletons.

When facing heavy armor, the lethality of the battle axe would be significantly reduced.

At this time, the warhammer would come in handy.

The warhammer emphasized overwhelming force.

With its wide hammer face, even against someone in plate armor, the powerful impact could transmit through the metal plates, directly crushing the enemy’s organs!

Of course, to achieve this effect, the weight of the warhammer needed to be higher than that of ordinary equipment.

The Mystic Light Warhammer sent by Suhang University perfectly met the weight requirement.

It weighed a full 80 kilograms!!

If it weren’t for the system rewards that had increased his attributes, Zhou Yi would have struggled to wield this massive warhammer.

Although his strength was sufficient, the difference between carrying an 80-kilogram warhammer and a 40-kilogram battle axe was substantial.

At the beginning of his training with the new weapon, many of Zhou Yi’s movements became distorted because of it.

Fortunately, through intense training afterward, he gradually mastered the techniques for using the Mystic Light Warhammer.

His body also adapted to the 80-kilogram weight, and his movements gradually returned to their previous level.

In fact, he even improved beyond that!

In addition to training combat skills with the new weapon, the most important aspect was still the daily tasks.

[Long Run (20KM/20KM)]
[Power Jump (200/200)]
[Push-Ups (200/200)]

[Detected daily tasks completed. You can choose from the following rewards.]

[Reward 1: Gain 10 free attribute points.]
[Reward 2: Gain 10 skill points.]
[Reward 3: Random skill book.]
[Reward 4: Random treasure chest.]

After choosing Reward 2, Zhou Yi instantly gained 10 skill points.

The skill “Light’s Punishment,” an A-Rank skill, was currently the most powerful pure output skill aside from “God’s Hand,” and leveling it up required 20 skill points.

This meant he needed to allocate more of his daily rewards towards skill points.

Fortunately,

Although the skill points required to level up “Light’s Punishment” were relatively high, the practical effects made Zhou Yi very satisfied.

……

……

On June 19th, at 9 PM, in Villa 4-12.

The second floor of this villa had a total of four extraordinary rooms: a bedroom, a media room, a reception room, and a large training room.

This training room was over 150 square meters, occupying nearly half of the total area of the second floor.

In the quiet night, the glow from the streetlights in the community filtered through the glass of the media room, casting light into the training room on the second floor.

Dressed in loose training clothes, Zhou Yi gripped the warhammer and sprinted rapidly within the training room.

Whoosh—

Whoosh—

…..

While running, he also continuously swung the hammer.

The massive warhammer, weighing 80 kilograms, created a dull sound as it cut through the air.

Zhou Yi’s figure darted around, changing directions swiftly.

Even while carrying such a heavy warhammer, there was no sense of sluggishness.

“Whoosh—”

Suddenly, Zhou Yi stopped in place, transitioning from extreme motion to complete stillness in the blink of an eye.

Yet, he showed no signs of losing his balance.

[Strength: 87, Constitution: 94, Agility: 86, Intelligence: 92]

“With the free attribute points from the college entrance examination rewards and the daily task rewards, my four-dimensional attributes have now reached an average of 89 points.

Compared to during the college entrance examination, that’s a full doubling…”

Zhou Yi stood holding the hammer.

Now, less than 20 days had passed since the college entrance examination ended.

In just 20 days, his four-dimensional attributes had doubled!!

If this news were to spread, who knows how many people would be shocked.

Of course, the four-dimensional attributes were just the most basic representation of strength.

When combined with “God’s Hand” and “Light’s Punishment,” these S-Rank divine skills and A-Rank rare skills, his true strength could be described as terrifying!!

Now, as he was about to head to Suhang University, Zhou Yi was also looking forward to meeting the prodigies from all over the world.

“Little Yun…”

“If you encounter any difficulties at school or in daily life, remember to call me directly.

If you can’t reach me, just look for Uncle Li and Sister Wanting.

And remember to take a Blood Nourishment Pill every week; if you’re afraid of forgetting, you can take two a week, don’t worry about the cost.”

Zhou Yi sat down beside Zhou Yun on the first floor and reminded her.

The Blood Nourishment Pill was a medicine to enhance constitution and had no side effects, so taking more wouldn’t be a problem.

“I have Sister Wanting and my second aunt with me; I’ll be fine.

Brother, you should be more careful since you’re alone out there.”

As they were about to part ways the next day, Zhou Yun, usually full of youthful energy, had lost some of her usual liveliness.

Sitting on the sofa, her delicate white face displayed an unmistakable sense of loss.

After losing their parents, the siblings relied on each other.

Even during hospital stays, they could see each other every day.

But now, they had to face a separation due to academic commitments.

Seeing his sister’s slightly reddened eyes, Zhou Yi reached out and rubbed her little head.

“Don’t worry, with the advancement of virtual video communication technology, we can still see each other face-to-face through our phones.

And once I settle down over there, I will bring you over immediately.”

Lijiang City was still too small.

According to Zhou Yi’s plan, as long as he established himself in Ning’an City, he would bring Zhou Yun over right away.

He would send her to the best high school in Ning’an City, allowing her to receive the best education.

Of course, before that, he would definitely resolve Zhou Yun’s bloodline awakening issue.

…..

…..

The next day, at 9 AM.

A car carrying Su Mei arrived punctually in front of the villa’s courtyard.

After loading the luggage into the trunk,

With Zhou Yun tearfully waving goodbye, Zhou Yi, after giving her his final reminders, got into the black car and gradually drove away.

“This is your first time going far away, right?”

In the front passenger seat, Su Mei spoke up.

“Yes,” Zhou Yi nodded.

In both his past life and this one, he had never stepped out of Lijiang City in eighteen years.

“Hehe, you might feel uncomfortable later; first-time users of the teleportation magic array usually experience strong discomfort,” Su Mei said with a smile.
