SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: National Assembly! Who is That Young Man?

TL: YYang

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi finished his basic exercises in his room.

Just as he stepped out, ready to complete his 20-kilometer running training outside,

He noticed a graceful figure leaning against the corridor railing, her head slightly lowered as if pondering something.

It was around 10:30 PM, and the bright moonlight illuminated her familiar, delicate face.

“Senior Sister Su, still not resting?” Zhou Yi greeted her with a smile.

The girl was none other than Su Qinglian, the captain of the Blue Kite Squad.

At his greeting, she seemed to snap out of her thoughts.

Looking up to see Zhou Yi, she nodded and softly said:

“Yes, I came to talk to you about something.” Su Qinglian took a deep breath, her full chest rising slightly, then slowly spoke: “You haven’t joined any team yet, right? How about considering joining our Blue Kite Squad?”

Her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Yi, her expression earnest.

She had been standing at the door for a while.

But worried about being rejected, she hadn’t knocked.

Now, caught by Zhou Yi, and with her team members strongly urging her, she had no choice but to ask…

“Senior Sister, I haven’t considered joining any team for now.” Zhou Yi shook his head.

At a top university like Suhang University, freshmen’s schedules are tightly packed regardless of the department.

Even if he joined a team, he wouldn’t have time to go out with them for missions.

Moreover…

With his current strength, hunting magical beasts alone in the wild was more efficient for gaining experience.

“I see…”

Though she expected this result, Su Qinglian couldn’t help but sigh.

Like Zhang Yi said, she also hoped Zhou Yi would join her team.

But since he wasn’t willing, she couldn’t force him. Still, her admiration for Zhou Yi grew. Before this, no peer had ever refused her requests.

In fact, at school, even senior prodigies and former provincial top scorers had actively sought to join. Moreover, every member of the Blue Kite Squad was a good-looking girl.

Joining the Blue Kite Squad was a dream for many male students at Suhang University…

Yet Zhou Yi declined so casually.

She couldn’t detect any emotional fluctuation on his chiseled face, as composed and calm as ever…

Admiring him, Su Qinglian half-jokingly said: “If you don’t join our squad, Little Yi and the others will be heartbroken.”

“You’re joking, Senior Sister.”

Zhou Yi’s expression remained unchanged, but Su Qinglian smiled and leaned closer:

“By the way, to thank you for saving us in the Tempest Mountain Range, here’s a special thank you from me.”

She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Zhou Yi’s right cheek.

With a slight blush, she waved and said:

“Alright, I should go. See you at school.”

“A special reward and a special thank you.”

Watching Su Qinglian’s swiftly departing figure, Zhou Yi’s expression was a bit peculiar.

Who would have thought that in just a few hours, he’d be kissed by two different girls…

“Girls these days are so bold.”

Though the actions of the two girls surprised Zhou Yi, he quickly regained his composure and headed downstairs to continue his 20-kilometer run.

……

Half an hour later, at 11 PM,

Having just completed his 20-kilometer run, Zhou Yi returned to his room and received a system prompt.

[Long Run (20KM/20KM)]

[Power Jumps (200/200)]

[Push-Ups (200/200)]

[Daily tasks completed. You may choose a reward from the following options.]

[Reward 1: Gain 10 free attribute points.]

[Reward 2: Gain 10 skill points.]

[Reward 3: Random skill book.]

[Reward 4: Random treasure chest.]

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yi once again chose the 10 free attribute points and 10 skill points.

He immediately allocated the free attribute points, but like before, decided to hold onto the skill points for a while.

“This feeling of constantly getting stronger is really great.”

Clenching his fist, Zhou Yi felt the increased strength coursing through his body and nodded in satisfaction.

This trip to the Tempest Mountain Range was incredibly rewarding!

Not only did he level up 5 times, reaching level 18, but he also acquired the new S+ talent ‘Death Resistance’ and the divine gift skill ‘Holy Flame Halo’!

Moreover, his basic average four-dimensional attributes surpassed the 160-point mark!!

Most importantly, the S-grade natural treasure ‘Extreme Cold Ice Lotus,’ needed for his sister Zhou Yun’s bloodline awakening, was now secured.

“Once I have the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, I can fully immerse myself in university life.”

Zhou Yi removed his sweat-soaked clothes, revealing his well-toned muscles.

His sister Zhou Yun’s illness had always been a concern for him.

If he hadn’t found the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, he would have been distracted after school started.

Now, with the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus, she could consume it, successfully awaken her ice bloodline, and have no more worries.

“With this matter settled, Suhang University has also begun freshman registration.

Next is the new student competition and class assignments.

New student competition… I’m looking forward to it.”

Zhou Yi’s eyes sparkled.

He picked up a change of clothes and quickly headed to the bathroom.

The sound of running water gently filled the quiet night…

……

The next day.

Zhou Yi got up early and left the hotel room at the supply base with Jiang Churan.

It’s worth mentioning.

To show their appreciation for Zhou Yi, several deputy commanders of the Snow Dragon Legion personally came to see him off.

This caused quite a stir in the supply base lobby, with some uninformed professionals thinking Zhou Yi was a military scion, gathering to watch.

And so,

The two left the supply base and set off on their journey back to school.

……

While Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan were returning to school,

In the capital of Zhongxia Country, north of Qingjing City,

There was a massive complex of buildings, occupying nearly one-sixth of Qingjing City.

This was the most important core area of Qingjing City.

In Zhongxia Country, almost every renowned guild and legion had a presence here.

It was also where the peak powerhouses and top leaders of Zhongxia gathered.

To ensure absolute safety, the entire building area was protected by six forbidden-level magic arrays.

The daily cost of maintaining these magic arrays, in terms of magic crystals and cores, was astronomical.

Mage towers stood tall within the complex, each emitting powerful magical energy, clearly housing formidable mage professionals.

In addition, in the air above the complex were numerous large mechanical floating islands equipped with anti-gravity devices.

At this moment, on the largest of these floating islands, in the top-floor conference hall of a grand building,

A meeting concerning the highest secrets of Zhongxia Country was taking place.

“According to the investigation, the Flame Demons in the Tempest Mountain Range have been lurking for nearly six months. Six months ago, they crossed over through a medium-sized spatial rift.”

“During these six months, they have been constructing a magic array called ‘Dark Erosion.’ The ‘Dark Erosion’ magic array is a very common foreign magic array, and its specific effects are…”

In the center of the conference hall, Snow Dragon Legion Commander Xu Yuzhou stood, reporting.

At the front of the hall were seven black seats.

Each seat projected a virtual figure.

Though they were only virtual projections,

The powerful pressure they emitted indicated they were high-level professionals!

“The most important discovery from this investigation is that the other side seems to have mastered a method to cross over through medium-sized rifts.”

As soon as Xu Yuzhou said this, the expressions of the five figures on the seats changed simultaneously.

“Are you sure those Flame Demons crossed over through a medium-sized spatial rift?”

The middle-aged man in the second seat on the left confirmed.

He was a professional with large horns, clearly possessing foreign bloodlines.

His eyes occasionally flashed with a gleam that made people uneasy.

“We have repeatedly confirmed that their crossing channel was indeed just a medium-sized spatial rift. However, this method seems flawed, as it can only transport creatures below level 30. We are currently unsure if this method can be applied to micro-rifts.”

Xu Yuzhou’s expression was solemn.

After obtaining the intelligence on the abnormal demon invasion from the Tempest Mountain Range, he immediately used a long-distance teleportation array to reach the Qingjing headquarters and report to the Snow Dragon Legion’s top leader.

He hadn’t expected to be asked to participate in Zhongxia Country’s national assembly the next day.

It’s important to note that the national assembly was attended by the top echelon of Zhongxia Country.

The lowest-ranked members are professionals at levels 65 or 66.

Reporting in front of such high-ranking figures was undoubtedly intimidating.

Therefore, he tried his best to remain serious and avoid any mistakes.

“Only creatures below level 30 can be transported? That’s still quite.”

The man in the middle, wearing a white robe, frowned slightly.

In the past, the foreign world could only invade Blue Star through large spatial rifts.

Now, they had mastered crossing through medium-sized rifts.

It’s known that large spatial rifts are extremely rare.

Thus, the opportunities for foreign creatures to descend were limited.

But medium-sized spatial rifts were countless across Zhongxia, even all of Blue Star!!

If every medium-sized rift had foreign creatures lurking, it would be a disaster.

The white-robed man tapped his fingers on the table, contemplating:

“We understand the situation. Your Snow Dragon Eighth Legion did well this time. Afterward, I’ll instruct your top leader to reward you.”

Pausing, he curiously asked:

“By the way, I heard from your top leader yesterday that an 18-year-old youth helped you obtain this intelligence. Can you tell me who that young man is?”
