Someone cleared the Abyss-level difficulty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zhou Yi? Why haven't I heard this name? Is he a senior in his third year?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hiss, 13 minutes 56 seconds! Too fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the entire Suhang University, the second year had the most students between Level 17 and 21.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Next was the third year, and finally the fourth year!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And now, in the entire first-floor lobby, the most numerous were the second-year students!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They almost all knew the powerhouses of their own grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So, the moment an unfamiliar name refreshed on the big screen, the students in the entire first-floor lobby were in an uproar!!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>They speculated about Zhou Yi’s background one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some guessed that this was a dark horse hidden in the second year, some guessed that this was a powerhouse in the third year.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And others thought that the other person was the freshman first place of this cohort...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Impossible!

In the entire Suhang University, he’s probably the only Paladin who carries a battle axe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The surrounding students who had watched the freshman competition all nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although Paladin was a hidden profession, there were about a dozen of them in the entire Suhang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, most Paladins carried totems, crosses, or huge shields.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only Zhou Yi used a long-handled battle axe in a very unconventional way.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ah, this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tall, thin man’s expression was strange:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ten minutes ago, I did see a Level 19 Paladin carrying a battle axe choose to enter the Abyss difficulty solo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a long while, someone sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It seems that this Zhou Yi who cleared it is indeed that freshman first place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although they really didn't want to believe it, judging from the current situation, this Zhou Yi who cleared the Abyss difficulty first was 99% likely to be that freshman first place who shone brightly in the freshman competition...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This is too outrageous. Only a few days have passed; how did Zhou Yi improve so much again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Some were puzzled, and others couldn't help but sigh:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I originally thought that the strength of this cohort of freshmen would take at least some time to surpass us, but I didn't expect them to catch up so quickly...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the freshman competition, when they saw the Dean of the War Academy, Wu Mang, open the Abyss mode for this cohort of freshmen, these seniors realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The freshmen of this cohort probably had much better talent than theirs!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Their strength would also improve faster! They would be able to surpass them in the future!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But they didn't expect this day to come so soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh, freshmen want to surpass us?
