Chapter 22: The Ultimate Violent Paladin! (Request Flowers, Collection, and Rating Votes)

A month ago, Zhou Yi was malnourished.

Though he stood 1.81 meters tall, he was emaciated.

He weighed only 60 kilograms, standing there like a bamboo pole.

In this past month, he trained daily with adequate nutrition.

Added to the resources provided by the municipal government, his physique rapidly expanded.

Now, his weight had reached 80 kilograms!

For an average person 1.8 meters tall, 80 kilograms might seem somewhat fat.

But for Zhou Yi, it was entirely different.

Daily physical training had forged him a balanced, muscular build.

Even in loose casual clothes, his robust frame was plainly visible.

His muscular physique, the cat demon corpse split in two on the ground, and the visually striking, blood-dripping single-edged axe in his hands—

Suddenly, the remaining dozen or so cat demons charging toward him halted, staring in shock.

The entire Darkwood Forest fell into an eerie silence.

"So they won't come forward? Then I'll take the initiative."

Zhou Yi grinned, striding forward, dragging the single-edged axe.

He charged straight into the cat demon horde.

Zzzzzz~

As he sprinted, Zhou Yi's entire body glowed, and a golden, cross-shaped phantom blade-and-sword emblem suddenly appeared.

The massive single-edged axe dragged behind him also erupted in blinding golden light, glowing entirely gold!

Under that holy radiance, the surrounding sinister aura vanished completely.

【Weapon Blessing LV4 (C-rank): Concentrate holy light to increase a teammate's weapon physical attack, strength, and accuracy within a certain range, duration 10 minutes.】

Paladin-exclusive skill: Weapon Blessing!!

Under the effect of the S+ talent Holy Angel's Protection, Weapon Blessing was enhanced.

Under the enhanced Weapon Blessing effect, the single-edged axe's original +7 strength suddenly surged to +21!!

More than tripled.

If other students knew of this immense boost, they'd be envious to death.

After all, the College Entrance Exam copy limited weapons to no higher than Bronze-rank, three-star.

A +21 strength boost rivaled the effect of a Bronze-rank five-star weapon!

In the College Entrance Exam, where every point of attribute was precious, a +21 strength boost would let Zhou Yi pull a massive gap from others!!

The cat demons, having witnessed their kin's death and Zhou Yi's overwhelming aura, had briefly feared him.

But seeing a tiny human dare launch the first attack—

The inherently brutal cat demons instantly filled with rage.

"Miaow—"

"Miaow—"

Roars of fury erupted one after another, and the remaining dozen cat demons charged Zhou Yi again.

Though equipped with the heavily burdened single-edged axe, Zhou Yi's speed was not slow; he quickly reached the front of the cat demon formation.

"All of you die!!"

Zhou Yi swung the axe again.

Pshhhht~~~

Blood gushed wildly, limbs flew everywhere.

With one swing, four cat demons were instantly slain!!

Even cat demons merely brushed by the axe shaft were struck heavily, flung sideways.
