SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Sequence 001, The Number One New Student!

TL: YYang

As Zhou Yi extended his right hand, Jiang Churan finally had the opportunity to quietly assess the boy before her.

His clear gaze and the faint aura of danger he exuded made her eyes flash with surprise.

However, she quickly regained her composure, the astonishment in her beautiful eyes fading into calmness.

After they introduced themselves, they walked into the university together.

Along the way, Zhou Yi learned the reason Jiang Churan had approached him.

It turned out that Jiang Churan was from Chuan Province and was traveling alone for the first time.

After being teleported to the square in the university town, she had searched for a while before finally finding the entrance to Suhang University.

Seeing him dragging a suitcase at the entrance, she guessed that he was likely a new student like herself.

So, she hurried over to find a companion.

“But speaking of which, why didn’t you bring a suitcase?” Zhou Yi asked, surprised to see Jiang Churan empty-handed and relaxed.

After the merger of the Eternal Game with reality, although everyone had their own backpack space, this backpack space could usually only hold weapons and equipment.

Items like suitcases couldn’t be placed in the backpack space.

“Because I have this,” Jiang Churan replied, extending her right hand, revealing a simple light blue ring on her finger.

From the ring, he could sense some mysterious fluctuations emanating from it.

“Spatial ring?” Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow.

Spatial rings were quite common among professionals as enchanted equipment.

Unlike the backpack space that everyone carried, the spatial ring allowed for much more freedom in what could be stored.

However, despite this, a spatial ring would cost at least 20 million Zhongxia Currency.

From this, he could tell that Jiang Churan likely had an impressive background…

…..

Suhang University was not just any university; newcomers could easily get lost on their first visit.

Fortunately, as Su Mei had mentioned, the registration area was not far behind the main entrance of the university.

“Are you one of the special admissions this year? This way…”

“Wow!! A tall and handsome new student is coming; quick, go greet him!!”

“Hiss, the girl next to him is also beautiful; her figure is amazing!”

“……”

Although Suhang University only admitted around 50 special students each year, on June 20th, the day for special admissions, there were quite a few registration stations set up—there were as many as twelve!!

At this moment, seeing Zhou Yi, who was tall and handsome, dragging his suitcase, many girls’ eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, Jiang Churan, with her tall stature and charming appearance, also attracted the admiration of several male students.

“But don’t you think this guy looks a bit familiar?”

“Yeah, it feels like I’ve seen him somewhere recently.”

“I remember now; he’s Zhou Yi! I even watched his college entrance examination clearing video online yesterday!”

As his identity was confirmed, the crowd at the registration area turned to look at the tall young man walking ahead.

“Zhou Yi!! The provincial top scorer from Suhang Province!”

“Oh my god, it really is him!”

“Compared to the video, he seems even more charismatic in real life!”

“……”

Suddenly, exclamations filled the air!

At Suhang University, among nearly 4,000 students, many were from Suhang Province.

There were also many who were originally locals from Ning’an City.

For this year’s provincial top scorer, Zhou Yi, who hailed from the impoverished north and had achieved his status through an unconventional fighting style as a Saint Knight, many people had heard of him.

Now that he appeared at the registration point of Suhang University, it meant that he had ultimately chosen to enroll at Suhang University!!

“Our province’s college entrance examination top scorer has arrived…”

“I just registered the second place in our province…”

“With both the first and second place from Suhang Province enrolling in our school, it looks like there will be quite a show ahead.”

“…..”

Before the college entrance examination results were released, the biggest favorite for the top scorer in Suhang Province was Shen Lingfeng, a student from the key high school’s rocket class in Ning’an City.

Shen Lingfeng came from a prestigious family, with both parents being level 50+ third-transfer professionals.

He himself possessed the bloodline of the Flame Dragon and had early transitioned to the hidden class of Berserker at the age of 17.

By the time of the college entrance examination, he was already at level 13, boasting incredible strength and was truly a prodigy!

However, when the final rankings were announced, Zhou Yi had claimed the first place with a time difference of 20 seconds, becoming the provincial top scorer.

Shen Lingfeng ended up in second place.

After the college entrance examination, if the two were not attending the same school, everything would have been fine.

But now that both were admitted to Suhang University, facing Zhou Yi, who had taken the first place from him,

Shen Lingfeng’s pride would likely not allow him to accept this easily.

“Zhou Yi, it seems you’re quite famous at Suhang University,” Jiang Churan teased, observing the reactions of those around them.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly but did not respond.

He casually walked to a registration station and took out his admission notice.

“Hello, I’m here to complete my new student registration.”

Unlike the typical paper notice, the admission notice from Suhang University seemed to be made of a special material.

While it felt similar to paper, it couldn’t be easily torn or damaged.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

Struggling to suppress the urge to ask this handsome provincial top scorer for his contact information, the short-haired girl at the registration station took the admission notice and began to operate on the computer.

“Student ID, ***…”

After entering the student ID and clicking confirm, a series of related registration information popped up on the display.

The short-haired girl checked each item.

“Name: Zhou Yi; Level: 13; Profession: Saint Knight; Sequence Number… 001!”

Hmm?!

At that moment, the short-haired girl couldn’t help but pause.

The sequence number was arranged according to the students’ strength, and 001… wasn’t that the number one new student?

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Zhou Yi asked, puzzled.

“According to convention, the sequence number represents the student’s strength ranking. This means that with the 001 sequence number, you, Zhou Yi, are now the default number one new student,” the short-haired girl quickly reacted and smiled.

Although Suhang University had admitted many provincial top scorers this year,

it was normal for the top scorer from Suhang Province to be assigned to the first position among new students.

At least, that was her opinion; as for how the top scorers from other provinces would take it, she wasn’t sure.

“The sequence number is ranked by strength? So I have the 003 sequence number, which means I have the third highest strength among the new students?”

Jiang Churan, who had also finished her registration, looked curious.

“According to the rules from previous years, that is indeed correct.”

The student assisting her was also somewhat surprised.

When she registered her information, she discovered that this girl named Jiang Churan was actually the provincial top scorer from Chuan Province.

She was a level 14 hidden profession Spirit Swordmaster!

From the moment they met, Zhou Yi had sensed that Jiang Churan was quite formidable.

Thus, he wasn’t too surprised by her having the 003 sequence number.

However, he hadn’t expected that he would be assigned the 001 sequence number…
