SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Trinity Saint Knight! The Strongest Path!

TL: YYang

In the Eternal Game, different professions possessed different skills.

In some cases, a profession could even have hundreds or thousands of skills.

After the fusion of the Eternal Game and reality, the same applied.

Every professional cherished their skill points immensely, and the number of skills they could ultimately learn was very limited.

It might not even reach one-tenth.

Precisely because of this, a skill point allocation issue emerged.

Even within the same profession, different skill point allocations could develop entirely different paths.

For example, in the warrior profession, if one focused on skills like block, shield wall, and resilience, they would follow the tank path, drawing aggro.

If one focused on skills like charge, shield bash, and heavy strike, they would follow the damage output path.

Of course, there existed another situation, which was a jack-of-all-trades approach, evenly distributing points across both aspects!

This situation typically occurred with newcomers unfamiliar with the profession’s characteristics.

The end result was that they didn’t excel in any direction, becoming a filler profession within the team.

After the fusion of the Eternal Game and reality, to better nurture strong individuals, mainstream skill point allocations for major professions could be found online.

However…

This was limited to mainstream professions only!!

Hidden professions like Berserker and Spirit Swordmaster had their skill point routes preserved as the foundation of major powers, unavailable online.

The Saint Knight profession was the same.

Before the college entrance examination, Zhou Yi had searched online.

He spent an entire night searching but found no reference for Saint Knight skill point allocations.

Ultimately, he had to rely on his own understanding to allocate his skill points.

Unexpectedly, on just the second day at Suhang University, the school delivered such a pleasant surprise with a Saint Knight skill point allocation guide!!

“Level 67 third-transfer Saint Knight, Mitel.”

“Rose during the fusion of the Eternal Game and reality, renowned worldwide for formidable enhancements and recovery effects.”

“Once led the Ashen Legion, charging into another world, killing a demon lord, and annihilating its commanding army before retreating unscathed.”

“Main skills focused on are Blessing of the Sanctuary, God’s Blessing…”

Beside the 3D starry skill point allocation map, a virtual figure was projected.

This virtual figure was immensely tall, with a holy radiance shining behind.

Next to the figure was an introduction about this person.

Zhou Yi watched for a while before understanding that this 3D skill point starry map corresponded to this individual.

“A level 67 third-transfer Saint Knight who once ventured into another world and killed a demon lord. Truly impressive.” Zhou Yi felt a sense of admiration.

A demon lord, at least level 65 or higher, was a legendary BOSS, extremely difficult to kill.

And this Saint Knight not only killed it but also retreated unscathed!

Understanding the background of this person, Zhou Yi quickly examined the skill point allocation route next to it.

Mitel possessed many skills, as many as seventy to eighty.

It took him about twenty minutes to sort through them.

“This Saint Knight mainly followed the support enhancement route, with most skills being aura and buff skills. Though there were output skills, they were few. Yet even so, his strength ultimately reached an extremely terrifying level.” Zhou Yi’s gaze focused.

Everyone said Saint Knights were merely heavy-armored support.

However, in the end, even Saint Knights on the heavy-armored support route could possess formidable combat power.

“Suhang University’s Skill Library should have more than just this one Saint Knight’s skill point route.”

He swiped the holographic screen.

Buzz~~~

Another new skill point map was projected.

As before, there was also a figure beside it, along with an introduction:

“Level 65 third-transfer Saint Knight, Yang Zhentian.”

“A Saint Knight who brought heavy-armored melee to its peak, once fought a legendary BOSS, the Bronze Dragon, for four days and nights, ultimately killing it.”

“Main skills focused on are Tiger Assault, Straight Punch Impact, Holy Fist Combo…”

“…”

“Another new direction for skill points!”

Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly began to examine it.

Thus, he spent about two hours going through all the Saint Knight skill point directions in Suhang University’s database.

“This time, I really hit the jackpot!”

Sitting in his seat, Zhou Yi was filled with excitement.

In the recent examination, he learned about the skill point directions of 10 Saint Knights.

Each of these Saint Knights was above level 60!!

Moreover, their skill point directions varied greatly, offering substantial reference value!!

They were invaluable treasures!!

“Although these Saint Knight masters’ skill points differ, they generally fall into three categories: support, melee, and spellcasting.”

Zhou Yi manipulated the holographic screen with both hands, recording his thoughts on it.

“The auxiliary category mainly focuses on buff and aura skills, just like the first individual I saw, Mitel. In the early stages, their output ability is weak, but in the later stages, with all buffs stacked, combined with resurrection skills, their output is equally terrifying. Moreover… they’re not afraid of death.

The melee category mainly focuses on melee skills, with free attributes primarily allocated to strength and constitution. In the later stages, their formidable physique can even rival dragons!

And the spellcasting Saint Knights almost treat themselves like mages, primarily learning spell skills like Light’s Punishment and Divine Thunder Technique. In a team, they serve as DPS output, mainly adding to the intelligence attribute. In the later stages, a single divine forbidden spell can destroy a city.”

After listing all the Saint Knight skill point routes on the holographic screen, Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

As a hidden profession, regardless of the path taken, a Saint Knight could always shine in their own unique way.

However, among these individuals, none managed to balance all directions, integrating the support, melee, and spellcasting paths into one.

“But then again, the higher the skill level, the more powerful the effect. If one tried to balance all directions, the skill points simply wouldn’t be enough!”

The holographic screen had a feature to simulate skill point allocation. Zhou Yi casually listed the main skills of the three major paths and allocated points to a usable level.

He ultimately discovered that the skill points required were terrifying!

Even among the many Saint Knights he had seen, the one with the highest level had only a third of the needed skill points!!

In other words, for a Saint Knight to truly integrate the essence of the support, melee, and spellcasting paths was practically impossible!!

Instead, it might result in mastering too many and too diverse skills!

Leading to insufficient skill points, making them a filler character in the team…

“But this is relative to ordinary people. For me, it’s different.” Zhou Yi’s lips curved slightly.

For first-transfer professionals, from level 10 to 15, each level-up granted 10 free attribute points and 10 skill points.

From level 15 to 20, each level-up granted 15 free attributes and 15 skill points.

In this manner, with every 5 levels being a threshold, the higher the level, the more free attribute points and skill points gained upon leveling up.

After the second and third transfers, the free attribute points and skill points gained per level would be even more!!

If one consumed special potions and natural treasures, they could gain additional attribute points and skill points.

However, regardless, the attribute points and skill points these individuals could ultimately gain were limited!!

But he had the strongest profession support system to help.

By completing daily tasks, he could continuously gain free attribute points and skill points!!

The issue of insufficient skill points simply did not exist.

“In that case, I will integrate the support, melee, and spellcasting paths to become the strongest Saint Knight!!” Zhou Yi’s eyes gleamed brightly.

Each single direction of Saint Knight development could achieve great accomplishments, and if he became a trinity…

He found it hard to imagine the terrifying level he would ultimately reach.

“However, this doesn’t mean I need to haphazardly learn all the skills from the three paths. I must extract the essence, otherwise, it would be too cumbersome. Moreover, my mana would be insufficient.”

Zhou Yi operated the holographic screen again.

This time, he began to record the core skills of each path.

An hour later, three skills appeared on the holographic screen.

These were, at the current stage, the most essential skills from the three paths that he could learn as a level 13 first-transfer Saint Knight.

First, was the support Saint Knight’s ‘Holy Light Guardian.’

[Holy Light Guardian (B+): Envelops oneself in a divine halo, becoming immune to all physical damage for a certain duration.]

Immune to all physical damage!!

This skill effect was simply abnormal.

If faced with an enemy whose main offensive method was physical attacks, this skill could be termed as the ultimate torment.

Moreover, Holy Light Guardian was also amplified by the S+ talent Protection of the Holy Angel, with the duration sure to skyrocket.

Zhou Yi could already envision the look of despair on the face of a profession like Martial Artist after he cast Holy Light Guardian on himself.

The second was the melee Saint Knight’s ‘Holy Fist Combo.’

[Holy Fist Combo (B): Rapidly delivers a jab, straight punch, and hook combo to the enemy ahead, inflicting massive damage.]

This skill could be used even without relying on weapons.

It could quickly inflict substantial damage on enemies, making it very reliable.

The third was the spellcasting Saint Knight’s ‘Holy Storm.’

[Holy Storm (B-): Summons a storm formed by divine light at a designated location, dealing light attribute magical damage to all enemies within a certain range.]

Currently, Zhou Yi only had ‘Light’s Punishment’ as a long-range spell attack.

If he added Holy Storm, his long-range spell output capability would be greatly enhanced!!
