Chapter 187: Fierce Combat Style! The Principal's Praise! (Request for Full Subscription)

Before challenging Zhou Yi, Liu Jing had considered the possibility of losing, but he never expected to lose so quickly!

In his imagined simulations, even if he lost,

Zhou Yi should have exhausted all his methods and made every possible effort.

There absolutely should not have been a situation like at the Special Admittee Shengjianmian Society meeting, where he was instantly defeated by a single leg kick.

But when the cold blade of the Giant Soldier Battle Axe pressed against his neck, he realized he had perhaps been far too presumptuous...

"Defeated so quickly!"

"The 20th-ranked Punishment Knight lost like that??"

"Their power levels simply aren't on the same plane!"

"......"

Liu Jing's swift defeat left everyone astonished.

After all, this was the 20th-ranked prodigy!

Outside, he was an existence capable of easily crushing a group of peers.

That combo of a dash followed by a Blood Qi Slash was something few could dodge!

Yet Zhou Yi, as a Paladin, didn't even cast a single buff skill before easily taking him down.

"Did you notice? Zhou Yi's reaction speed is terrifying!"

Someone exclaimed.

The Blood Qi Slash is extremely fast and not easy to dodge.

If the sidestepping motion is even slightly too slow, one could be directly struck.

By comparison, directly using a weapon to defend is a far safer option.

"And the stun judgment of his Pure White Blade is ridiculously over the top; Liu Jing couldn't even control his body and fell straight to the ground."

Stun judgments vary in strength, from weak to strong.

A weaker stun judgment only causes a slight numbness and doesn't significantly affect combat ability.

A stronger stun judgment, like what happened to Liu Jing, causes a complete loss of bodily control.

The stronger one's constitution, the weaker the effect of the stun judgment.

Logically, as a Punishment Knight who primarily invested points in Strength and Constitution attributes, he shouldn't have been subjected to such a high stun judgment.

"There is only one possibility for this situation: Zhou Yi's Wisdom attribute is extremely high.

This caused the effects of his released skills to ignore Liu Jing's massive Constitution attribute, directly applying the maximum stun judgment!"

At this moment, while the new students guessed the answer, they also felt curious.

Just how high is Zhou Yi's Wisdom attribute?

To reach the point of ignoring Liu Jing's Constitution attribute?

Zhou Yi's level was another factor they were very curious about.

After all, the higher the level, the more experience required to level up.

Most people leveled up two or three times in the dungeon; even if Zhou Yi started with a higher level, due to the gap in experience requirements, he shouldn't have been able to level up two or three times consecutively just like them.

Since that was the case, with their levels now catching up and equalizing, using the Appraisal Technique should have allowed them to see some information.

However, up to now, they still cannot use the Appraisal Technique to discern Zhou Yi's level information...

"But what is certain is that Zhou Yi's strength absolutely belongs to the top tier.

Although attribute counters do indeed exist, they are certainly not the main factor that allowed Zhou Yi to take first place!"

The astonishing strength Zhou Yi displayed in this first match

immediately silenced those who had been restless and suspected his ranking was false.

Even the top ten ranked new students showed slight changes in expression, their faces bearing a new air of caution.

Shen Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, his heart feeling slightly Solemn.

Although Zhou Yi acted quickly just now, many details could be seen in the execution.

If I had faced Liu Jing's Blood Qi Slash, I would have simply countered with a sword slash.

With my Qi strength, a backhand slash would naturally easily parry his sword away.

Even if I were to dodge, I would absolutely not choose to sidestep as Zhou Yi did.

Sidestepping, if the movement is even slightly too slow, could easily go wrong and result in being struck by that sharp sword light.

That level of danger is far too high.

"In this match, Zhou Yi wins!"

After the Referee Instructor announced the victory, Zhou Yi moved the battle axe away.

Liu Jing, freed from the stun state, stood up and then walked off the arena in a daze.

It was clear that the result of this match had indeed hit him quite hard.

He didn't even notice the shallow blood mark on his neck formed by the sharp axe blade pressing against it.

"Defeated so quickly!"

"This is indeed hard to imagine; we all saw Liu Jing's performance in the Abyss-level dungeon, and his strength was very good."

On the Etiquette Platform, many instructors began to discuss and exchange opinions.

As a Special Admittee, Liu Jing was one of the key focuses during the dungeon challenge just now.

Furthermore, the hidden class he advanced to, the Punishment Knight, is a very powerful damage-dealing class.

His performance in the dungeon was also very outstanding.

His movement was graceful, and he wielded a great sword with great proficiency.

Whenever the sword light flared, it often took the lives of entire groups of monsters.

In the final bonus stage, Liu Jing also had to kill the Xiong Guai's ghost ten times before finally clearing the stage.

This series of expressions proved his strength was indeed considerable.

However, in front of Zhou Yi, he ended up with nothing but an instant death.

"Mainly because Zhou Yi's reaction speed is too fast and his skill power is too strong."

"At level 19, there should be very few people who can reach such fast reaction speeds, right?"

"Indeed, even the second and third-year seniors in the school who have reached level 20 or higher might not have such fast reaction speeds."

The teachers secretly estimated the speed at which Liu Jing swung his sword.

To dodge this sword strike by leaning sideways requires extremely fast reaction speed!

Almost within 0.23 seconds!!

0.23 seconds...

This is an extremely terrifying reaction speed; even many seniors find it difficult to achieve.

"Fortunately, Zhou Yi did not strike too hard."

"When strength overwhelms, controlling damage is naturally easy; even the small wound on Liu Jing's neck was caused by him accidentally touching the axe edge while dazed."

"Heh, compared to the superficial injury, I think Zhou Yi's near-overwhelming method of defeating him makes him feel worse."

"Indeed, it will probably take some time for him to recover from Zhou Yi's shadow after this."

On the etiquette platform, the mentors knew that although Liu Jing suffered no external injuries.

Zhou Yi's cold, dismissive attitude and his near-insulting method of defeating him had already left him with considerable psychological shadow.

However, regarding this, the mentors did not care much.

Since he chose to provoke, he naturally had to bear the consequences of defeat.

The fact that Zhou Yi did not beat him severely was already good.

As for the psychological damage, that is something the other party must resolve on their own.

If his mental fortitude cannot even withstand such a small defeat, he might as well drop out of school immediately.

Regarding this point, Wu Mang, the Dean of the War Academy, agreed and supported it the most.

After all, once on the battlefield, extreme situations may arise where an entire squad is wiped out, leaving only you alive.

At such a moment, without extremely high mental fortitude, it is very difficult to survive on the battlefield.

"Excellent, your strike was sharp and concise, completing the match with minimal expenditure."

Wang Hui nodded, quite appreciative.

In fact, this was the first time he had truly witnessed Zhou Yi's combat style.

After all, he arrived a bit late.

Before this, he had only seen Zhou Yi use spell skills to fight in the bonus stage.

But that could not truly reflect the other party's combat style.
