SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Instant Kill! Weak, Too Weak!

TL: YYang

When Zhou Yi looked over, the smile on the boy’s face grew even broader:

“My name is Liu Jing, a Level 13 Retribution Knight from Qingdong City in Beihu Province, currently ranked 038 in the sequence. I seriously doubt whether you have the strength to be rated as 001 in the sequence. Therefore, I want to challenge you to confirm your true strength!”

Liu Jing straightforwardly stated his purpose.

“Liu Jing actually initiated the challenge first!”

“I know him, ranked fifth in the college entrance examination in Qingdong City! His profession transfer was to the hidden profession of Retribution Knight, and I heard his strength attribute is over 55!”

“Hiss, over 55 in strength attribute? Zhou Yi is in trouble now.”

“……”

Retribution Knight, like the Saint Knight, belonged to the hidden profession branch of the knight profession.

But unlike the Saint Knight.

Retribution Knights were not heavily armored support types but violent output positions!

When a Retribution Knight grew, their combat power could even surpass that of a Berserker!

Therefore, the main attributes for a Retribution Knight to enhance were strength and constitution.

And this Liu Jing clearly pushed his strength attribute to the extreme, his muscles incredibly robust.

Listening to the praise from the surrounding students, the smile on Liu Jing’s face became even more radiant.

It was as if he already saw Zhou Yi trampled under his feet.

At the same time, his gaze swept over the beautiful figure beside Zhou Yi, his eyes filled with heat.

Besides wanting to use Zhou Yi as a stepping stone to achieve his fame.

Jiang Churan, who was beside Zhou Yi, was also one of the reasons he was so eager to initiate the challenge.

“Oh?” Zhou Yi squinted his eyes, playing with the idea: “Then why should I accept your challenge?”

“100 credits, yours if you win, and you don’t have to pay anything if you lose.” As if anticipating this, Liu Jing spoke up.

“100 credits, too little.” Zhou Yi shook his head, “300 credits, and I’ll fight you. No need for anything special, if you win, I’ll still give you those 300 credits.”

Being young and full of energy, the more you refuse to fight them, the more eager they become.

For the sake of peace later, Zhou Yi didn’t plan to reject this challenge.

And the 300 credits were just to make the other party pay a bit more, to remember this lesson.

At the same time, it was also to set an example……

“300 credits……” Liu Jing’s face changed slightly.

As a student ranked 038 in the sequence, he only received 400 basic credits.

If he lost……

Losing those 300 credits in resources.

Then, in the new student competition a month later, his ranking would definitely drop.

“If you don’t dare, then forget it, let’s go.”

Seeing Zhou Yi and his group about to leave, Liu Jing gritted his teeth and shouted:

“Fine, 300 credits it is! Let’s go to the arena!”

“Looks like you have some courage.” Zhou Yi turned around, smiling. “But no need for the arena, let’s do it right here.”

The arena was too far from here, and it would take at least ten minutes to walk there.

He didn’t have that kind of free time.

Besides, at this time, Teacher Su Mei and the others hadn’t left yet, making it perfect for them to act as referees.

“Here?”

Liu Jing looked around. Although this was just a conference hall, it was quite spacious, over 500 square meters.

Moreover, the area in front of the podium was open, perfect for a Retribution Knight to charge.

So he nodded and said, “That works.”

“Teacher Su, could you help us as the witness teacher?” Zhou Yi called out to Su Mei, who hadn’t left yet, not far away.

Generally, student duels required a teacher present as a witness.

And the only teacher he was currently familiar with was Su Mei.

He could only trouble her to help.

“Sure. Each of you transfer 300 credits to my account first.” Su Mei, who had been watching the whole time, nodded with interest and walked over.

Unlike ordinary universities, Suhang University highly encouraged competition among students.

As long as no one died, everything was negotiable. Even if someone did die, it wouldn’t be a problem. The school had third-transfer Priests who could perform a resurrection on the spot!

Zhou Yi and Liu Jing quickly transferred their credits, and the surrounding students, acting as spectators, voluntarily stepped back. They revealed a space of about two hundred square meters. Because it was at the front of the conference hall, two-thirds of the space was an open platform, while the remaining third was a densely seated area.

On the open platform, Zhou Yi and Liu Jing stood about 10 meters apart, facing each other. Compared to ordinary people, Zhou Yi’s physique was considered quite strong. However, compared to the muscular and towering Liu Jing, he seemed a bit lacking.

“Retribution Knight, huh? Will Brother Zhou be able to win?” Wang Li furrowed his brow.

He had seen Zhou Yi’s college entrance examination clearing video and knew that Zhou Yi was at his peak only when fully buffed. But now, outside a dungeon, Liu Jing would definitely not allow Zhou Yi to buff himself. If Liu Jing chose to charge, it would be troublesome.

Unlike Wang Li, Jiang Churan wasn’t worried at all. Instead, she licked her red lips excitedly, anticipating the upcoming battle. She was very curious about Zhou Yi, who made her feel a sense of danger. She wondered what kind of scene it would be when he fought.

…

…

In the middle of the two, Su Mei was responsible for officiating. Not far away, teachers and students who hadn’t left also sat nearby to watch.

“After a countdown of three seconds,” Su Mei, acting as the referee, said with a serious expression, “you can start. Remember, in a duel between classmates, never go for the kill.”

“3, 2, 1…”

“Begin!”

As soon as the words fell, red light flashed under Liu Jing’s feet. He stepped forward and instantly crossed 9 meters to appear in front of Zhou Yi!

Charge!!

A skill exclusive to Retribution Knights, allowing them to charge a certain distance in 0.5 seconds. The charge distance was increased by skill level and strength attribute. Liu Jing, who charged 9 meters in one go, clearly mastered this skill extremely well!

“Vitality Slash!!”

A giant sword was already in his hand. His arms swelled, and the giant sword, accompanied by a muffled sound of breaking through the air, slashed fiercely towards Zhou Yi. On the blade, strands of violent blood-red light swirled.

Being specially admitted to Suhang University, he wasn’t a fool. Although he didn’t know why a Saint Knight was designated as the top freshman by the school, he knew that if he could exploit the weakness of a Saint Knight’s insufficient strength without buffs, he could easily defeat him! Charging paired with Vitality Slash was a classic face-to-face combo!!

“Fall!!”

As the giant sword approached Zhou Yi, Liu Jing’s smile grew more sinister. But at that moment, Zhou Yi moved!!

Zhou Yi slightly raised his right foot, and his thigh suddenly transformed into a phantom, shooting out!!

“What?!”

The astonishing speed left Liu Jing no time to react! With a muffled bang, his body bent and deformed violently. His waist was struck by a tremendous force, and he flew back as if shot from a cannon!!

Bang!!

After crashing into the wall behind, leaving a dent, he fell powerlessly to the ground. Back at the original spot, Zhou Yi slowly retracted his right leg.

“Weak. Too weak!”

Looking at the fainted figure on the distant ground, Zhou Yi shook his head in disappointment. Initially, he had some expectations for this Level 13 Retribution Knight, Liu Jing. But he didn’t expect that the opponent couldn’t even withstand a simple whip kick from him.
