SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Terrifying Speed of Improvement! The Blue Kite Squad’s Astonishment!

TL: YYang

“Indeed, the peak attribute record for level 13 had already been replaced with Zhou Yi’s name.”

“Zhou Yi? Never heard of him. Could he be from the Zhou family in Ning’an City?”

“Regardless of whether you’ve heard of him, an average of 95 points in the basic four-dimensional attributes is simply absurd!”

“…”

Inside the testing room, the professionals were shocked as they looked at Zhou Yi’s name corresponding to level 13 on the light pillar.

His four-dimensional attributes of strength 93, constitution 99, agility 92, and intelligence 98 left many professionals in awe.

One must know…

The original peak attribute record holder for level 13, Ling Yun, only had an average of 60 points in the four-dimensional attributes.

Zhou Yi surpassed that by a full 35 points!

More terrifyingly, on this peak list…

The peak attribute record for level 17 only had an average of 97 points!!

Which meant…

If Zhou Yi wished, when he leveled to level 14, 15, or 16, without even allocating free attribute points, he could come to the base for certification. He could refresh the records for levels 14 to 16!

“I remember the original record holder for level 13, Ling Yun, seems to be the current leader of the Ashen Legion.” Someone in the crowd mentioned.

“Yes, that’s right! I remember too! There was a report not long ago about Leader Ling leading the Ashen Legion into the other world and returning victorious!” Someone quickly responded.

The process of the Eternal Game merging with Blue Star was essentially the process of another world merging with the Blue Star world.

During this process, the demon race and magical beasts from the other world invaded Blue Star, causing massive slaughter.

Humans naturally would not sit idly by.

So, it was common to see news about top powerhouses leading legions into the other world.

Ling Yun was one of those very famous figures.

“Hiss, so this Zhou Yi actually surpassed the record held by Leader Ling when he was level 13?”

Someone couldn’t believe it.

That was a top powerhouse leading an entire legion!

His level was at least above 65!!

For such a terrifying figure’s record to be broken was unimaginable.

“Hiss—”

As everyone was expressing their amazement, with a hiss, the black hatch of the egg-shaped pod on the far left suddenly opened.

“Look, Zhou Yi has come out!!”

Because of the presence of staff members, many professionals easily knew that Zhou Yi was inside the far-left testing pod.

Thus, the moment the hatch opened, countless gazes converged there.

Inside the pod, a tall young man slowly walked out.

This young man had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, with a resolute and handsome face, appearing to be no more than 20 years old.

He wore light armor of white and green, with a massive warhammer about 1.8 meters long strapped to his back.

Although the youth looked young, he exuded a faint aura of divine power, making him seem very steady.

“Hmm?”

Zhou Yi, upon exiting the pod, scanned his surroundings, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised.

Before entering the pod, he had learned from the staff about the function of the light pillar.

He knew that his four-dimensional attributes, recorded into the system, would likely break records and attract attention.

But he hadn’t expected to draw such a large crowd…

…

…

“So this is Zhou Yi? He looks very young, and quite handsome too!”

In the back, the petite Wen Tianrun was jumping on the spot to look ahead.

Due to her height of only 1.6 meters, she had to keep jumping to see over the crowd to the figure in front.

Though petite, she was well-developed.

When she jumped, certain parts of her body bounced along.

“The name Zhou Yi sounds somewhat familiar…” The captain, Su Qinglian, furrowed her brows slightly.

With her jade-like hand, she took out her phone and quickly searched for information about Zhou Yi.

“This Zhou Yi is actually this year’s provincial top scorer of Suhang Province!” The purple-black-haired girl, Zhang Yi, who had come over to look at the phone, exclaimed softly.

“Where, where? Let me see.”

The remaining two members of the Blue Kite Squad also came over.

On Captain Su Qinglian’s phone screen, there was a news article titled ‘Dark Horse! The Provincial Top Scorer from Lijiang City, Zhou Yi!’

And the figure in the news photo was exactly the same as the one walking out of the testing pod in front!

“Monster!”

“Freak!”

After confirming that Zhou Yi was indeed this year’s provincial top scorer of Suhang Province, the two girls couldn’t help but gasp.

One must know—

Less than a month had passed since the end of the college entrance examination.

Generally speaking, within this one-month period…

The provincial top scorer, who received significant resource investment from both the municipal and provincial governments, would enter a period of rapid power enhancement.

In just one month, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that his strength could double.

Historically, the average four-dimensional attributes for Suhang Province’s top scorers were around 40 points.

Even if Zhou Yi was more formidable than previous top scorers, possessing an average of 50 points in the four-dimensional attributes.

In just one month…

For his average four-dimensional attributes to soar from 50 to 95 points was beyond mere doubling of strength!!

It was nothing short of monstrous!!

While the women of the Blue Kite Squad marveled at Zhou Yi’s rapid improvement in strength, the gathered professionals ahead had already begun to compete.

“Zhou Yi, want to join our Dawn Squad? Our captain is a level 21 first-transfer mage! Guaranteed leveling without worries!”

“Ha, only level 21? Our captain is already level 26, Zhou Yi, join our squad!”

“Heh, you’re all trash!! Our captain is a level 30 second-transfer mechanic, offering full nanny-style service. Join our squad for the best!!”

“…”

Unlike ordinary support professions like priests, the hidden profession of the Saint Knight not only provided buffs and healing methods to teammates but could also stand as a tank to absorb damage in critical moments!!

Such professionals, even if slightly lower in level, were welcomed by many teams.

Moreover, this Saint Knight was unlike any ordinary Saint Knight; he was a prodigy who broke the peak attribute record held by the base’s Leader Ling!!

Recruiting him into a team now and fostering a good relationship would mean that when he grew into a major force in the future, even a small favor from him would be enough for these people to benefit greatly!

Thus, many professionals eagerly invited him, hoping Zhou Yi would join their team.

“Captain, should we try inviting him too?” In the back, Zhang Yi eagerly suggested.

Their team of five had Captain Su Qinglian as a warrior focused on pure offense.

The petite Wen Tianrun was a summoner, while the Zhu sisters, Zhu Rao and Zhu Dan, were mechanics.

As for herself, she was a mage.

Though during their adventures in the Tempest Mountain Range, they had Wen Tianrun’s summoned magical beasts and the Zhu sisters’ mechanical creations to scout and tank damage, their team was not complete.

They lacked a tank and a healer.

If they could invite Zhou Yi, he would perfectly fill the team’s shortfall.

“No…”

Looking at Zhou Yi, who was the center of attention, Su Qinglian shook her head and said:

“His level is too low. Although his four-dimensional attributes are terrifying, at most, he could only serve as a level 17 Saint Knight. Bringing him along would severely slow down our team’s progress. Don’t forget, our goal this summer is for all of us to level up at least twice.”

At her level, the experience required to level up was enormous!!

In the school dungeon, she could only enter the Twisted Jungle with a level restriction of 23~26.

But this dungeon, for her as a level 25 professional, provided too little experience.

Clearing it once wouldn’t even fill one-twentieth of her experience bar.

And each dungeon run consumed a lot of credits.

It simply wasn’t worth it!!

That’s why they came to the Tempest Mountain Range, to hunt wild magical beasts for leveling experience.

This time, their goal was to gain enough experience to level up twice in three months!

If Zhou Yi joined the team, they would inevitably have to avoid hunting high-level magical beasts.

Their leveling progress would undoubtedly be hindered.

“Alright, that’s a shame then.” Zhang Yi reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Finding someone like him who matched their team’s needs and was so handsome wasn’t easy at Suhang University.

Missing out on him meant their team would likely remain without a tank and healer for the next six months.

“Let’s go, let’s deal with the magical beast materials, herbs, and ores we’ve collected. We’ll rest for two days, then we’ll head back into the Tempest Mountain Range!”

“Yes!”

Under Su Qinglian’s leadership, the Blue Kite Squad quickly left.

…

…

On the other side.

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhou Yi was contemplating whether to apply buffs and use Holy Light Guardian to force his way out when a light applause and a voice of praise suddenly rang out:

“Indeed, a hero emerges in youth, Zhou Yi, impressive!!”

A slightly plump middle-aged man in a suit approached from the side, wearing a smile as gentle as the Maitreya Buddha, instantly giving a good impression.

Flanking him were two strong-looking bodyguards in black suits.

“It’s Manager Wang!!”

“He actually came over!”

“Of course, the base hasn’t had a professional break the peak attribute record in years; he must have been alerted and came over!”

“……”

Looking at the middle-aged man, the surrounding professionals all showed respectful expressions.

Wang Zhi, a level 22 first-transfer knight.

Though his level wasn’t high, he was the nominal top manager of this supply base!!

Even high-level second-transfer professionals found it extremely difficult to meet him.

“Hello, I’m the manager of this supply base, Wang Zhi.” Wang Zhi extended his right hand.

“Hello, Manager Wang.” Zhou Yi also extended his hand in return, showing courtesy.

“I remember the last time someone broke the peak attribute record at our base was six years ago. Back then, I was outside and couldn’t witness it firsthand, but luckily, I caught it this time!”

After some pleasantries, Wang Zhi smiled and said:

“Mr. Zhou, how about we chat somewhere else?”

“Alright.” Glancing at the crowded professionals around, Zhou Yi nodded.
