SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Legion Commander’s Praise! Fearsome Combat Awareness!

TL: YYang

The Snow Dragon Legion was one of the official legions under Zhongxia Country’s command. The legion was vast, spread across Zhongxia Country and even abroad. The part stationed near the Tempest Mountain Range was merely a segment of the legion.

Xu Yuzhou, the legion commander, was a seasoned veteran. He had participated multiple times in the annihilation of foreign creatures emerging from ‘spatial rifts.’ He was familiar with the disturbances caused when foreign creatures descend upon Blue Star.

However, this time, the Flame Demon legion left him puzzled.

Too low!

The levels of these Flame Demons were simply too low!

The average level was only about 24, and the legendary-level demon leader was merely level 23…

Logically, as a branch of the demon race, one of the five major foreign races, the Flame Demons should not be so lackluster in their invasion of Blue Star.

“Commander, the details of these individuals have been clarified. They are members of the Giant Eagle Squad, Blood Blade Squad, and Blue Kite Squad. The other man and woman have not joined any team.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in light armor, Wang Liang, approached to report.

He is the mechanic of the Snow Dragon Legion, capable of connecting to Zhongxia’s internal information system at any time.

Just now, he had compiled all the information on the individuals.

“Members of the Giant Eagle Squad are from Qingyuan University, and those from the Blood Blade Squad are freelance professionals. The Blue Kite Squad and the other man and woman are students from Suhang University, in their third and first years respectively.”

“First year?” Xu Yuzhou, returning from his thoughts, frowned upon hearing this. “I remember Suhang University’s new students are supposed to report in a couple of days, right? Could they be special admissions students?”

He had heard a bit about the enrollment process of Suhang University, a top-tier national university.

“I was just about to report this.” Wang Liang replied with a wry smile.

“The other two are named Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan, professions are Saint Knight and Spirit Swordmaster, respectively. They are special admissions students at Suhang University, and more troubling, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan are the top scorers of Suhang Province and Southern Chuan Province, respectively.

Moreover, Zhou Yi broke the peak four-dimensional attribute record at the supply base for level 13 a month ago and was invited by the base’s higher-ups to sign a genius contract. If they were to die here, the impact could be troublesome…”

A third-transfer priest, who possessed resurrection skills would be required.

But their legion only had a level 46 second-transfer priest, far from reaching third-transfer.

Moreover, the resurrection skill had to be cast within three minutes of death to be effective.

Even if they requested support from a third-transfer priest now, by the time they arrived, it would be too late.

Besides, third-transfer priests were exceedingly rare.

They weren’t easily summoned.

So, in his eyes, these two provincial top scorers were as good as dead.

“Two provincial top scorers? And one broke the peak four-dimensional attribute record?”

Xu Yuzhou rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Professionals who chose to enter the Tempest Mountain Range naturally prepared for the possibility of death.

Such individuals, even if they died in this demon invasion, would be easy to handle.

But provincial top scorers were different…

They are talents watched closely by the province; any incident could lead to accountability.

Let alone having two appear at once!!

“Well, troublesome as it may be. They’re adults; having chosen to enter the Tempest Mountain Range, they must be ready to face death. Just record their information properly, and later, preserve their bodies as best as possible.”

After a moment’s thought, Xu Yuzhou decided not to dwell on the matter, looking through the Dark Flame Wall magic barrier.

His gaze fell upon the Spirit Swordmaster Jiang Churan and Saint Knight Zhou Yi mentioned by Wang Liang.

The former sat weakly on the ground, while the latter stood tall with a massive warhammer, facing the Flame Demon.

Even at over 500 meters away, he could sense the determination and divine aura emanating from this Saint Knight.

At this moment, he couldn’t discern any fear or terror on that sharply defined face.

If it were an average professional, they would likely be pale with fright by now.

Moreover, the appraisal technique revealed that his level was the lowest among them, except for Jiang Churan.

Hmm? Level 18?

Xu Yuzhou immediately sensed something was off:

“Wang Liang, are you sure this Saint Knight Zhou Yi broke the level 13 peak attribute record a month ago?”

“Yes, it was indeed the level 13 peak attribute record. The entire supply base was alarmed at the time.” Wang Liang remarked with amazement.

The peak attribute record hadn’t seen a new holder in many years.

Now that a new record holder had finally appeared, they were about to fall at the hands of demons.

“Level 13? Level 18?”

Xu Yuzhou’s expression turned peculiar.

Rising five levels in just a month…

This was beyond the description of a genius; it could be called monstrous!

“The legendary-level demon is making a move!”

Wang Liang suddenly exclaimed, and Xu Yuzhou quickly looked over.

On the plain, the demon offspring transformed into a blur, rapidly launching an assault on Zhou Yi.

“A legendary-tier demon, even at level 23, could wipe them all out alone, and Zhou Yi would also be instantly killed by this strike.”

Legendary-tier monsters were never to be trifled with.

Not only were they tough and durable but they also possessed a myriad of skills, making them extremely troublesome.

If Zhou Yi were also level 23, he might’ve been able to struggle for a while.

But he was only level 18.

The level gap was too vast, leading to an inevitable instant defeat…

“What a pity…” Xu Yuzhou shook his head, sighing.

A prodigy like Zhou Yi, as long as he didn’t fall, was destined to become one of the top figures in Zhongxia Country in the future!!

However, the scene that followed took Xu Yuzhou and Wang Liang by surprise.

Zhou Yi swiftly dodged the demon offspring’s attack and then executed an Air Slash, sending it into the air.

“What quick reflexes! What incredible strength!”

“Not only did he easily evade the attack, but he also countered effectively!!”

Wang Liang’s eyes widened.

Legendary-level demons have extremely high resistance to various abnormal states.

Even a level 23 professional would find it challenging to send one flying.

Let alone Zhou Yi, who was only level 18…

“Air Slash followed by Pure White Blade, such a fast combo!”

“The demon offspring is standing still; the stun effect of Pure White Blade was successfully applied!!”

“This…”

“Is that the Saint Knight’s Light’s Punishment? Judging by the thickness of the lightning, this skill must be at least LV8!”

Watching Zhou Yi’s actions, Wang Liang couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

The combo was seamless, smooth, and without any superfluous steps.

Incredibly sharp!!

“What terrifying combat awareness! Such high four-dimensional attributes!”

Xu Yuzhou’s eyes flickered, unable to hold back his praise.

As a level 51, experienced warrior, he knew that achieving all this required not only strong combat awareness but also high four-dimensional attribute values.

Otherwise, during the initial Air Slash, he wouldn’t have been able to send the legendary-tier demon flying and might have taken a hit instead.

Boom——

At that moment, an inexplicable pressure spread across the surrounding space.

“This sense of oppression… Could it be that the Mage Department’s collective magical strike is ready?”

Wang Liang quickly looked back, only to find Yang Xiaofeng, who led the Mage Department, still preparing.

“This pressure isn’t from our magical strike; it seems more like a skill released by that Saint Knight Zhou Yi.”

Xu Yuzhou focused intently on the sky ahead.

Soon, a massive golden hand slowly emerged, striking the legendary-tier demon with unstoppable force.

The ground trembled, and a golden mushroom cloud rose majestically.

The dense aura of Holy Light was palpable even through the Dark Flame Wall magic barrier.

“This…”

Xu Yuzhou’s pupils contracted in shock.

When the pressure first appeared, he sensed that the skill’s power was likely extraordinary.

But the final effect still took him by surprise!

Goodness.

This power rivals that of a typical magic crystal cannon, doesn’t it?!
