SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Ning’an City, the Exaggerated University Town!

TL: YYang

“Teleportation magic array? Aren’t we supposed to take public transportation?”

Zhou Yi was somewhat taken aback.

In Zhongxia Country, although it was a strong nation in infrastructure, with teleportation magic arrays established in various provinces and cities,

these teleportation magic arrays were generally used for transporting weapons and reinforcements during wartime.

Under normal circumstances, they would not be activated.

Of course, similar to the recent teleportation of teachers from the national TOP 10 universities to Lijiang, that was considered a special situation, and those universities likely paid a hefty price.

Now, with no rush, there was no need for such measures.

“Lijiang is too far from Ning’an City; if we take a car, it might take two days to arrive.”

“Taking a plane is possible, but there are several no-fly zones along the way, requiring detours. If we’re not careful and encounter flying magical beasts, it could be troublesome.”

“Considering all this, the teleportation magic array is the fastest and safest way to reach our destination,” Su Mei explained.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi suddenly understood.

Two hundred years ago, the Eternal Game merged with reality.

The area of Blue Star expanded thousands of times, with countless game maps and mountains rising from the ground.

Zhongxia Country benefited from this, with its land area increasing over a hundred times.

As one of the larger provinces in Zhongxia, Suhang Province also expanded several times, with many game maps appearing on it.

Some areas were even considered forbidden zones, where even level 60 third-transfer professionals dared not tread.

Lijiang City and Ning’an City were at opposite ends, one in the far north and the other in the far south.

Traveling between them was akin to crossing the entire territory of Suhang Province.

Taking a car was naturally impractical; even taking the high-speed train would take nearly a day.

And if flying, there was the danger of encountering groups of flying magical beasts.

“Our Suhang University has cooperation with the military in various cities within Suhang Province, and your Lijiang City is no exception. I used the Lijiang military’s teleportation magic array when I came here, and I’ll be doing the same on the way back.”

As she spoke, the car passed through the bustling city and drove into the suburbs.

Eventually, it stopped in front of a heavily guarded military complex, with teams of professionals patrolling the area.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Yi first noticed a tall tower several hundred meters ahead.

The tower stood about 80 meters tall, making it the tallest structure in the complex.

The tower was entirely dark blue, radiating a vast magical energy wave like a king.

At the top of the tower, there was a glowing, enormous mysterious rune.

The light emitted from the rune enveloped the entire military area,

giving it an inexplicable sense of solidity.

“What a spectacular military area; there’s even a Mage Tower!” Zhou Yi exclaimed.

A Mage Tower was a strategic structure that could gather hundreds of mages within.

When a Mage Tower operated at full capacity, its overwhelming firepower could rival that of a small military corps!

“The Mage Tower is a standard feature of the military area. If you’re interested in this, you can ask your seniors to learn more about it later. After all, many of our school’s outstanding graduates have gone to the military. Moreover, even the enhancement skills of your Saint Knight can be amplified through the Mage Tower. Understanding the internal structure and usage of the Mage Tower will be beneficial for you.”

Su Mei casually mentioned this as they entered the military area under the guidance of the regiment commander.

They soon stopped at a facility.

“This is the teleportation magic array?”

Zhou Yi saw a massive hexagram drawn on the ground beneath his feet, with numerous intersecting lines and mysterious runes.

It seemed to be drawn with a special liquid, and these patterns emitted a faint white glow.

Buzz~~~

Under the regiment commander’s operation, the lines beneath their feet surged with a powerful magical energy, and the entire teleportation magic array immediately radiated a dazzling light.

“This is your first time using the teleportation magic; you might feel a bit uncomfortable, but once we arrive over there, it will be fine…”

Before Su Mei finished speaking,

With a whoosh, both their figures and the luggage vanished from the spot.

…

Suhang Province, capital city, Ning’an City.

Unlike the entire administrative division of Lijiang City, Ning’an City was divided into six districts.

To the north was Beiyuan District.

To the west was Xifeng District.

To the south was Nanpu District.

To the east was Dongjiang District.

Additionally, there was the commercial district in the center of Ning’an City—Wanhua District—and the university town specifically designated as an administrative area in the southeastern area along the river.

The world-renowned top university, Suhang University, was located here.

In fact, aside from a few lesser-known institutions, most of the reputable universities in Ning’an were concentrated in the university town.

The university town itself was quite large, covering an area of over 800 square kilometers.

Suhang University was the highest-ranking institution in the university town, without exception.

As the top university, Suhang University boasted an astonishing land area.

It spanned a full 30,000 acres!

Looking at the numbers alone might not convey much, but to put it into perspective, the entire Lijiang City was only about 90,000 acres.

This meant that Suhang University alone was roughly one-third the size of Lijiang City!

30,000 acres, or 24 square kilometers—that was Suhang University!

All of this information was gathered by Zhou Yi online before his arrival.

…..

Although he had some anticipation regarding the grandeur of Suhang University before coming, when Zhou Yi finally regained his senses from the dizziness of teleportation, he was still stunned by the scene before him.

“Roar~~~”

“Awwoo~~~”

“……”

Not far ahead in the square, there were people riding magical wolves over two meters tall, exuding a ferocious aura.

Their luxurious equipment sparkled with dazzling golden light under the sunlight.

There were also individuals sitting atop three-meter-tall humanoid machines; with each movement of the mechanical legs, the ground trembled slightly.

Looking up, he could vaguely see people riding flying magical beasts, soaring freely in the sky.

“This… is too exaggerated, right?” Zhou Yi watched in astonishment.

This scene was completely different from anything in Lijiang City.

It was like entering a crowded channel in an online game, bustling with activity.

“In the university town, besides our Suhang University, there are five other universities.

This is the essential square passage for entering and exiting the five universities, which is why it’s so lively.

Of course, the teleportation magic arrays for all universities in the university town are collectively built here, which is also one of the reasons for the high foot traffic,” Su Mei’s voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi quickly looked around.

This was a semi-open teleportation magic platform.

Aside from the teleportation magic array beneath his feet, there were nearly 20 other teleportation magic arrays surrounding him.

As Su Mei had said, the light from these magic arrays continued to flicker, with people constantly teleporting in, merging into the square.

…

TL: The acres are actually Chinese acres, which are not the acres we’re used to. So just think of it as 24 square kilometers.
