SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Invitation from the Aurora Society, Deputy Minister Position!

TL: YYang

“This…”

“Too terrifying!”

The battle between the new students had ended several seconds ago.

After overcoming the initial disbelief at the combat prowess of these two freshmen, the senior students below began to express their admiration.

Some even started to clap, initially scattered and sparse.

Led by Li Dongsheng, and inspired by the praise for this spectacular fight, many couldn’t help but join in the applause.

“Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!”

“Though they are just freshmen, the intensity of this battle is almost comparable to watching seniors in their third year fight.”

“Especially that Saint Knight, his assault was swift and relentless!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that student numbers can’t be faked, I’d doubt whether they are truly freshmen.”

Indeed, Zhou Yi’s combat skills were extraordinarily impressive.

Typically, professions using massive weapons adopt a defensive counterattack strategy.

They try not to swing their heavy weapons excessively to conserve energy.

Only when they catch an opponent’s flaw do they suddenly strike to achieve suppression.

But Zhou Yi…

He had no intention of conserving energy.

Swinging the warhammer as if it were a toy, he almost swung it fast enough to leave afterimages!!

There were those who doubted whether Zhou Yi’s warhammer was underweight.

But upon seeing the numerous dents left on the arena floor by the warhammer, all doubts vanished instantly.

The arena floor was made of very hard alloy, even a handgun bullet’s impact wouldn’t leave any marks.

Yet now, so many dents had been made.

This was enough to prove that the weapon wasn’t just visually exaggerated, but genuinely heavy!

Someone even counted that during that battle, Zhou Yi swung his warhammer nearly a hundred times!

Moreover, Zhou Yi wasn’t attacking recklessly.

From start to finish, the warhammer restricted the opponent’s movements, forcing them to draw their sword to block the warhammer’s assault.

Swinging the warhammer over a hundred times, and consciously restricting movement.

How was this possible?

They couldn’t understand.

If it were them, they’d probably be exhausted after swinging a few dozen times, let alone also managing to restrict the opponent’s movement.

Moreover, what they admired most was that this was a beautiful and charming lady, yet the warhammer swung mercilessly at her.

He was completely unmoved by beauty.

“The final casting speed was also very fast, buffs stacked, instantly elevating his strength to full power.”

“Indeed, this Saint Knight is incredible, instant crushing victory!”

Many also noticed Zhou Yi’s rapid skill casting at the end.

Six skills, taking almost no more than 2 seconds, were all released!

This was something many Mages couldn’t achieve.

……

On the arena.

Zhou Yi put away his warhammer and walked over to Jiang Churan:

“Are you alright?”

After nearly ten minutes of intense battle, she had broken out in a light sweat.

Under the sheen of this fine perspiration, the slightly form-fitting black battle attire clung even more closely to her body, outlining her curves in a full and enticing manner.

“I’m fine, nothing major…”

Jiang Churan hadn’t finished her sentence when she suddenly felt enveloped by a warm energy.

Under the healing of this energy, she felt the pain from the battle vanish instantly.

At the same time, an incredibly pleasant sensation surged through her heart.

Luckily, she reacted quickly, or she might have let out a soft moan.

“What is this?” Jiang Churan looked around.

At that moment, she was surrounded by a pale green energy full of life force.

The source of that comfortable feeling was precisely from this.

“This is my Slow Healing. How is it? Feeling better?” Zhou Yi said with a smile.

The warhammer he used, though lacking sharp direct damage, couldn’t visibly show injuries.

However, the concussive damage from the warhammer was quite real, easily causing internal injuries.

Given Jiang Churan’s constitution, she shouldn’t have been injured.

But to be safe, it was better to apply a Slow Healing.

“Feeling much better.”

Jiang Churan moved her body slightly.

She immediately felt that in just a short moment, the soreness in her body had mostly disappeared!

“This is Slow Healing? Why does it feel different from others’?” Her pretty face showed a hint of surprise.

She had experienced a Saint Knight’s Slow Healing before.

While it could relieve soreness, it never gave her such a comfortable feeling as Zhou Yi’s did.

“Maybe it has something to do with my talent.” Zhou Yi explained with a smile.

When he first used Slow Healing to treat his sister Zhou Yun, he noticed that his Slow Healing seemed different.

Later, when he used it on himself, he discovered that.

His Slow Healing not only had a much better effect but also provided an extremely comfortable feeling.

The superior healing effect could be attributed to his S+ talent, Protection of the Holy Angel.

As for the extremely comfortable feeling, he wasn’t sure why.

He simply attributed it to the characteristics brought by his S+ talent.

“Oh.”

Jiang Churan nodded thoughtfully, then decided not to dwell on it.

With a smile, she praised: “As expected of the top freshman, you defeated me so easily.”

“Hehe, you probably weren’t using your full strength just now.” Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Churan.

After obtaining the Protection of the Holy Angel.

His affinity for light elements reached a terrifying level.

Perhaps because of this, he was also very sensitive to dark attribute power.

At this moment, he could easily sense.

Within Jiang Churan, there was an extremely formidable dark attribute power that hadn’t been used.

Moreover, with some understanding of the Swordsman profession, he also knew.

In this battle, Jiang Churan hadn’t used those powerful Swordsman skills.

“You noticed.” Jiang Churan stuck out her pink tongue, chuckling: “It was just a spar, after all. I wouldn’t use my trump cards.”

The dark attribute energy within her was the Succubus Power brought by her Succubus Bloodline.

Once activated, it could significantly enhance her strength in a short time.

The price was that she would enter a weakened state for the next two days.

Moreover, even if she used the Succubus Power and unleashed those trump card skills.

She didn’t think she could defeat Zhou Yi.

After all, the gap between them was too large.

She couldn’t even track Zhou Yi’s movements after he stacked his buff skills, so how could she continue to fight?

Pausing, Jiang Churan continued: “Besides, you weren’t using your full strength either, were you?”

She had seen the video of Zhou Yi clearing a Nightmare-level dungeon circulating online.

Naturally, she knew that in the recent battle, several skills weren’t used by him.

Moreover, it had been nearly half a month since the college entrance exam.

She didn’t believe that Zhou Yi, who became the provincial top scorer of Suhang Province.

Hadn’t learned more powerful skills during this time.

The only explanation was that her strength was too weak to make Zhou Yi use more of his power…

Though she didn’t want to admit it, that was the truth.

Facing Jiang Churan’s question, Zhou Yi smiled slightly, without speaking.

Currently, even in his normal state, his four-dimensional attributes slightly surpassed Jiang Churan’s, who wielded an inheritance weapon.

With all buff skills stacked, his four-dimensional attributes were amplified to a terrifying level.

He didn’t need many skills to crush the opponent.

Not to mention the Light’s Punishment and God’s Hand he mastered later; at this stage, they were completely unnecessary!

Of course, if Jiang Churan unleashed the power within her, it would be a different scenario altogether.

……

……

Slow Healing, as a relatively powerful recovery skill, was upgraded by Zhou Yi to LV6.

Among the many skills he mastered, this level was considered relatively high.

Naturally, the duration of its effect was also quite substantial, lasting a full two minutes.

After two minutes, Jiang Churan felt all the soreness in her body completely vanish.

Apart from feeling slightly mentally fatigued, her physical state was as refreshed as it was before the battle began.

“This recovery effect is terrifying!” Jiang Churan praised again.

If Zhou Yi used this skill during a battle, his endurance would be extraordinary.

As long as he couldn’t be defeated quickly, one could only watch him recover continuously!

“Now that you’re recovered, let’s head down; let’s not occupy the arena for too long.”

“Alright.” Jiang Churan chuckled, slinging the Dark Moon Ancient Sword onto her back.

With graceful steps, she followed Zhou Yi off the arena.

“Impressive!”

“Too strong!”

“With you two among this year’s freshmen, we’re sure to win the national college freshman exchange competition!”

Below the arena, many seniors were clapping, and some even gave thumbs up.

At the same time, a lean young man with short hair appeared in front of Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan.

“Hello, both of you. Let me introduce myself; my name is Li Dongsheng. I’m a level 29 Sharpshooter, and also an old hand about to enter my senior year.”

As Li Dongsheng introduced himself, he also observed the two before him.

Compared to watching from afar, being up close allowed him to better appreciate their extraordinariness.

The young man was tall and slender, exuding a faint holy aura, with a subtle oppressive presence.

The young woman, on the other hand, was graceful and stunning, exuding an equally strong aura.

“If I’m not mistaken, you two should be Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan.” Li Dongsheng continued.

As a minister of the Aurora Society, he had his own information channels.

In that brief moment, he had found out their relevant information.

“Is there something you need from us, senior?”

Zhou Yi looked at Li Dongsheng, his eyes slightly narrowing.

A level 29 Sharpshooter, about to enter his senior year.

This meant that he had reached near second-transfer level in just three years at the university.

“Yes, I would like to invite both of you to join our Aurora Society. If you are willing, we can offer you the position of deputy minister in the Aurora Society.”

Li Dongsheng did not lower his voice deliberately, and many around heard the invitation.

Immediately, envious gazes were cast their way.

The Aurora Society was an organization that many students at Suhang University dreamed of joining.

Not only did it offer good benefits, but it also had experts leading members to hunt monsters in the wild!

Ordinary students couldn’t even submit an application to join until they reached level 20!

Unexpectedly, an invitation was extended to two freshmen, offering them the position of deputy minister with certain powers!
