SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Warm-Up Ends, One-Sided Crushing!

TL: YYang

“What immense strength!”

On the arena, feeling the recoil pain from the longsword, Jiang Churan furrowed her delicate brows slightly.

When she saw Zhou Yi fighting Liu Jing, she already knew that the opponent’s strength attribute must be incredibly formidable.

Now, upon contact, she realized.

This was beyond formidable, it could be described as monstrous!!

The recoil force from the sword made even her, with her constitution enhanced by the Succubus Bloodline, feel some pain!!

“Again!!”

Zhou Yi grinned.

Without showing any mercy, he stepped forward with his right foot, simultaneously swinging his warhammer towards Jiang Churan!

In theory, massive weapons should have a very slow attack speed.

However, in Zhou Yi’s hands, the warhammer’s assault remained swift, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to smash into Jiang Churan!

However, Jiang Churan’s speed was not slow either; she reversed her grip on the sword, holding it horizontally in front of her.

“Clang!”

The ancient longsword collided with the warhammer, emitting a piercing crash.

The ancient longsword, held by her slender arm, actually managed to block this strike!

“Hmm?”

Feeling the recoil from the warhammer, Zhou Yi’s eyes narrowed.

This strength, although slightly weaker than his, was not much different.

“Great, finally found someone who can contend with me head-on.”

Zhou Yi’s eyes burned with fighting spirit as he dragged the warhammer and charged forward again.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

On the arena, a tall figure and a slender figure clashed together.

The warhammer and the longsword collided, constantly emitting loud noises.

There were no fancy skill effects between the two.

But the reckless and violent aura emanating from their collisions filled the entire arena with a suppressive atmosphere!

In the rest area, more and more people were drawn by the commotion, looking towards this arena.

“Did my appraisal technique deceive me? Is this a level 13 Saint Knight fighting a level 14 Spirit Swordmaster?”

“What the hell? Since when can a heavy armor support position Saint Knight engage directly with an output position Spirit Swordmaster?”

“Not only engage, but they’re also evenly matched!”

“Evenly matched? Haven’t you noticed that up until now, that Saint Knight hasn’t even used any skills yet!”

The sudden reminder caused the entire rest area to freeze momentarily.

Right!!

Due to the Saint Knight’s fierce assault, they all forgot that the opponent seemed not to have used any buff skills or other skills yet!

“And not only that… Have you noticed, compared to the beginning, the Spirit Swordmaster’s movement has slowed down significantly. At the beginning, the Saint Knight would often swing three hammers before she had to use the longsword to block one of them. And now, with two swings from the Saint Knight, she has to use the longsword to block one.”

The person who reminded them earlier spoke again.

This was a lean man with short hair.

He stood at the back of the rest area, watching the two figures battling on the arena with a look of interest.

“As expected of Senior Li, your insight is impressive!”

“Hehe, his observational skills are much better than us average folks!”

“……”

Upon seeing the short-haired man, many greeted him.

Li Dongsheng, a level 29 Sharpshooter.

He was also one of the ministers of the largest society at Suhang University—the Aurora Society.

His strength was extremely formidable, known by many.

While greeting him, someone continued to ask:

“Brother Li, why is it like this?

Judging by the clash of their weapons, both sides seem to have similar strength, and the recoil force is similar too.

Why is the Spirit Swordmaster the first to be unable to withstand it?”

“Hehe, it’s naturally because her constitution attribute can’t compare to the Saint Knight’s.” Li Dongsheng replied with a smile, “Also, take a closer look at her weapon.”

“Weapon?”

Everyone hurriedly used the appraisal technique, and a string of information instantly appeared.

[Weapon: Dark Moon Ancient Sword]

[Quality: Inheritance ☆☆☆]

[Level Requirement: ???]

[Attributes: ????]

[Race Restriction: Human]

[Profession Restriction: Swordsman]

[Effect: ????]

“Holy crap, this girl is wielding an inheritance weapon?!”

Upon seeing the information, everyone was shocked!

This was an inheritance weapon!

Throughout Suhang University, students possessing inheritance weapons were extremely rare!!

Unexpectedly, a new student emerged with one.

“Indeed, it’s an inheritance weapon. I’m guessing that her Dark Moon Ancient Sword primarily enhances strength and agility attributes. Although it might also boost constitution and intelligence attributes, the increase is likely minimal.”

Li Dongsheng’s eyes gleamed.

Weapons below the gold-grade typically only boost a single attribute.

Once weapons reached the gold-grade, they enhanced two attributes.

For the higher tiers, epic and legendary weapons, they enhanced three attributes and all attributes respectively.

As for inheritance weapons, which could rival legendary weapons, they naturally enhanced all attributes.

However, some attributes received higher boosts while others received lower ones.

“Brother Li, are you saying that the reason this Spirit Swordmaster can contend with the Saint Knight in terms of strength is because of the weapon’s bonuses?

And because this weapon provides a lower boost to the constitution attribute, the Spirit Swordmaster can’t compare to the Saint Knight in constitution.

That’s why she was the first to be unable to withstand the recoil force, and the longer the fight goes on, the more her body is affected!”

Someone instantly understood Li Dongsheng’s point and exclaimed.

“That’s right.” Li Dongsheng nodded with a smile, also unable to resist expressing his admiration: “This batch of new students is quite abnormal; a Saint Knight wielding a gold-grade weapon can actually suppress an output position Spirit Swordmaster.”

As a Sharpshooter about to undergo a second transfer, he had gone out on many training trips during his two years at the school.

He had encountered many different professionals.

He had seen Saint Knights who took the violent route before.

But to be a level lower, not use any skills, and still suppress an output profession wielding an inheritance weapon?

This was indeed the first time he had seen such a thing.

……

Indeed, Li Dongsheng’s inference was not wrong.

The inheritance weapon—Dark Moon Ancient Sword—did not enhance the four-dimensional attributes evenly.

But in one aspect, Li Dongsheng guessed wrong.

The Dark Moon Ancient Sword had three powerful attribute enhancements, namely strength, constitution, and agility!!

Among the four-dimensional attributes, only the intelligence attribute had a relatively low enhancement!

However, even with a significant boost to the constitution attribute.

In the confrontation with Zhou Yi, the waves of recoil force made Jiang Churan feel increasingly overwhelmed.

“Block!!”

Once again, after blocking the warhammer’s assault with her longsword, Zhou Yi suddenly withdrew his hammer and stepped back.

“Hmm?” Jiang Churan was a bit puzzled.

But not far ahead, Zhou Yi, who had stopped his assault, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled:

“Warm-up is over, alright, now let’s officially begin.”

“Warm-up?” Jiang Churan’s big eyes showed a hint of confusion, then widened in disbelief as she said: “Just now, you were only warming up?”

Jiang Churan was somewhat dumbfounded.

To know, in the previous battle.

Aside from a few trump card skills, she had almost used all her means!!

Unexpectedly, in Zhou Yi’s eyes, it was merely a warm-up!!

“You didn’t use any skills just now!”

It was at this moment that she finally realized.

From the very start of the battle, she felt something was off.

It was just that Zhou Yi’s assault was too fierce, making her forget about it for a moment.

Now, recalling it, she discovered that in the previous combat.

Zhou Yi hadn’t even used a single skill!

“Be careful from now on.”

Zhou Yi smiled slightly, his heart stirred, and he began the Saint Knight’s regular fighting style.

First, stack buffs!

“Weapon Blessing!”

“Blessing of Dawn!”

“Gift of Courage!”

“God’s Blessing!”

“Gift of Protection!”

“……”

A golden cross shone on his brow, countless sacred and dazzling lights burst forth from his body.

Once all the buffs were stacked, the Mystic Light Warhammer in Zhou Yi’s right hand had already turned golden.

Under his feet, he stood on a mystical six-pointed star magic formation formed by the Gift of Protection.

Above his head, two mystical runes formed by the Gift of Courage spun out of thin air, continuously enhancing his strength and constitution attributes.

At this moment, his aura reached its peak!!

Like a high-tier magical beast, even just standing there, Zhou Yi exuded a heavy oppressive feeling that made one’s heart palpitate.

“What a strong oppressive feeling! So this is his full strength!”

Jiang Churan bit her red lips lightly, her beautiful eyes swirling with purple hues.

She hadn’t expected that Zhou Yi’s full strength would be so monstrous!!

Previously, her succubus body, combined with the boost from the inheritance weapon, was still suppressed!

Now that the opponent had stacked buffs, she was even more at a loss about what to do next!

“Victory Spear!!”

Zhou Yi grasped at the void, and light elements rapidly gathered into a spear shape.

Then he fiercely hurled it!

Whoosh!!

In the blink of an eye, the Victory Spear traversed six meters, seemingly about to pin Jiang Churan to the spot!

“Flash Step!”

Jiang Churan decisively released another movement skill.

Her figure flickered, dodging the spear.

Boom!!

The Victory Spear hit the ground where Jiang Churan had originally stood, immediately creating a small pit.

“I was waiting for this move.”

“Pure White Blade!!”

At the moment Jiang Churan stood, Zhou Yi’s deep voice came from the side.

Simultaneously, he swung his arms in a cross, forming a cross-shaped blade that slashed out instantly!!

“When did he…”

Jiang Churan had no time to react, barely lifting the Dark Moon Ancient Sword to defend in front of her.

Block!!!

The cross blade was blocked, but the light attribute magic damage directly hit her body, causing her to enter a rigid state, unable to move!!

“Do you want to continue?”

Not far ahead, Zhou Yi shouldered the warhammer, looking at Jiang Churan.

In his left hand, countless light elements gathered, about to condense into a spear shape.

“No… no more.”

Feeling her uncontrollable body and the terrifying magical fluctuations from the light element spear.

Jiang Churan sighed and chose to give up.

Although she had a way to break free from the control, under the opponent’s almost crushing assault, continuing to fight would ultimately lead to the same result.

Being defeated without suspense…….
