Chapter 148

"Hello, I am Zhou Yi, a level 19 Paladin."

He did not deliberately lower his voice.

The freshmen who heard his self-introduction were stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, erupting into a clamor of exclamations:

"What the f***?!! Level 19? Are you f***ing kidding me?"

"That's absurd! I'm only level 16!"

"How did he do it? It's only been a little over a month since the college entrance exam ended, right? Even adding the experience from clearing the Abyss-level dungeon, it's impossible to jump directly to level 19, right?"

The specially admitted students were in an uproar.

Because of the level gap, they could not check Zhou Yi's level through Appraisal.

However, according to their estimates, Zhou Yi would at most only be one or two levels higher than them.

After the Abyss-level dungeon, this gap would be further narrowed; Zhou Yi should only be one level higher than them.

Unexpectedly, the other party was a full 3 levels higher than them!

"Before entering the dungeon, Zhou Yi must have already had the strength of level 17 or 18. That means in this month, he improved by about four or five levels! This is too absurd!"

"Who told me that Zhou Yi went out to live extravagantly? Isn't this spreading rumors!"

While surprised, the specially admitted students were all somewhat angry at the person who had originally proposed this theory.

And at this moment, Zhang Hao, who was guarding next to Shen Lingfeng and came from the same high school as him, couldn't help but shrink his body.

Back then, in order to curry favor with Shen Lingfeng, the theory that Zhou Yi went out to live extravagantly was first proposed by him...

Regarding the fact that Zhou Yi's level was 19, Song Xialan on the stage seemed not to care too much.

She just blinked her large eyes and asked in a somewhat naive and cute manner:

"Are you sure you don't need to recover?"

She had watched the entire battle between Zhou Yi and Shen Lingfeng just now.

Although it was almost a one-sided crushing, wanting to swing that heavy, massive battle axe was no small drain.

"No need."

Zhou Yi shook his head, signaling that the other party could start directly.

"Alright then."

Song Xialan nodded, then asked with some curiosity:

"Classmate Zhou Yi, that shouldn't have been your full strength just now, right?"

"When the battle starts in a moment, can you let me experience your state of true, full-strength eruption?"

"Don't worry, I won't interrupt your casting of buff skills."

Song Xialan, who came from a long-standing noble family in Yun-Gui Province, had a strong interest in all powerful peers.

Furthermore, as the only family representative walking in the outside world, she also needed to spar with numerous powerful peers.

Preferably, while going all out...

Looking at Song Xialan, who was requesting like a curious baby, Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh dumbly:

"I don't need you to go easy on me; I will satisfy your request."

With his current strength, whether he adds buffs or not, the outcome is almost always a crushing defeat.

Since Classmate Song Xialan requested it, he had no choice but to satisfy her.

After all, this wouldn't consume much mana.

"Then it's a deal!"

A happy smile bloomed on Song Xialan's small face.

Off-stage, the crowd of freshmen who heard the conversation between the two also suddenly realized a fact.

As a Paladin, Zhou Yi didn't seem to have released many buff skills in these two battles.

According to the speed at which the other party released Holy Guardian and Holy Flame Wheel.

To say that he didn't have time to release these buff skills during the battle was definitely a lie.

The only explanation was that Zhou Yi felt that whether or not he added buff skills would not affect the outcome of the battle...

"The facts seem to be exactly that; in the battle with Liu Jing, a single Pure White Blade killed him instantly."

"In the battle with Shen Lingfeng, although Weapon Blessing was added, the rest of the buff skills were not."

"That is to say, in the battles just now, Zhou Yi was actually holding back..."

"Hiss, if that's the case, then how terrifying would his final strength be if Zhou Yi added all his buffs?"

"Won't we know if we keep watching? The battle is about to start!"

Amidst the expectant and curious gazes of the freshmen, the battle officially began!

When Zhou Yi said he didn't need to hold back, Song Xialan didn't understand what he meant.

But after the battle started, she understood immediately.

I saw that not far ahead, a magnificent holy aura lingered around that slender and tall figure.

Divine Gift!

Dawn Blessing!

Courage Gift!

Guardian Gift!

A full five or six buff skills were completely released within a short 1 second!!

And the momentum emanating from Zhou Yi also climbed to its peak!!

"This..."

Song Xialan only then came back to her senses, feeling somewhat amused by her previous words.

Such a fast buff skill release speed might be interrupted by a Berserker or other combat-type professions.

But as a Spirit Daoist, her strongest offensive means was only drawing talismans.

And the drawing of talismans often also requires about 1 second.

As such, interrupting the other party's skill release naturally became a joke...

"Sure enough, the feeling of having all buffs active is indeed very refreshing."

Feeling the surging power in his body, Zhou Yi stretched comfortably.

Then he looked at the young girl's figure standing in front and smiled grimly:

"Alright, this is my peak state."

"Next, enjoy the battle between us!"

I saw him lean back slightly, his hands grasping at the void.

Subsequently, a huge golden rune warhammer composed of holy power condensed out of thin air:

"Hammer of Repentance!"

Boom!!

The huge golden warhammer smashed fiercely toward the slender figure of the girl in front!!
