Chapter 220: Jiang Churan Arrives

Just as Zhou Yi was challenging the highest difficulty, Level 1 combat stance.

In front of Villa No. 001, a tall, slender girl's figure arrived.

The girl had a graceful figure, wearing a fresh dress whose hem only reached mid-thigh, revealing a pair of round, long legs so white they seemed to glow.

"Ding dong~~~"

She pressed the button on the door, and immediately the doorbell rang.

However, the doorbell rang three or four times, yet no one answered.

"Has Brother Zhou Yi gone out?"

Jiang Churan's pretty face showed doubt, and she immediately pressed the doorbell again.

"Ding dong~~~~"

Even after the doorbell stopped, still no one came to open the door.

"Looks like Brother Zhou Yi really has gone out......"

Jiang Churan's face showed undisguised disappointment.

After yesterday's Freshman Grand Competition ended, all freshmen's dormitories would be adjusted according to their rankings.

And she had also taken the opportunity to move into Villa No. 002.

When "nine-two-seven" however......

Before moving in, with the help of the intelligent robot, everything had already been completely replaced with new items.

Having moved into Villa No. 002, she—

Thinking that it was now exactly twelve noon, time for lunch, she took this chance to come see Zhou Yi.

She hadn't expected that he wouldn't be in his dormitory villa at this time......

Just as she turned around, ready to leave, a rumble came faintly from behind the villa.

"The open-air training ground!"

"I should have thought that Brother Zhou Yi would be there!!"

As a high-ranking Sequence member, Jiang Churan's original Villa No. 003 naturally also had an open-air training ground.

Thus, after hearing that faint commotion, her eyes lit up, and she set off her long slender legs, hurrying toward the back of the villa at a light jog.

Bang! Bang!......

Rumble rumble~~~

As her tall, slender figure approached the open-air training ground, the rumbling she had heard at the door grew increasingly distinct.

At the same time, the entire ground seemed to be faintly trembling.

"This commotion...... Brother Zhou Yi wouldn't be challenging Level 4 combat stance, would he?"

Jiang Churan felt a slight suspicion in her heart.

In the open-air training ground, one could deploy training robots and set training challenges of different difficulties—this was something all specially-recruited students knew well.

During the period when Zhou Yi had previously left the school, when the specially-recruited students gathered together, they would occasionally also discuss which level each of them had challenged to.

Most people were still stuck at Level 7 or Level 8 combat stance.

Those in the top ten of the Sequence rankings were roughly at Level 6 combat stance.

As for herself, using her inherited weapon and not using the Succubus power, she could at most challenge to Level 5 combat stance.

Though she hadn't succeeded in challenging it.

But she knew that merely challenging Level 5 combat stance would absolutely not create such terrifying combat commotion.

Even from fifty or sixty meters away, she could still feel the ground trembling......

Simply outrageous.

"Given Brother Zhou Yi's strength, it might not be Level 4 combat stance—it could also be Level 3 combat stance......"

With curiosity, she subconsciously slowed her pace, slowly approaching the open-air training ground.

After turning past a corner, the open-air training ground ahead also came into her view.

"This...... what is this???"

Jiang Churan's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, as if she couldn't believe everything she was seeing before her eyes.

She saw the open-air training ground ahead, as if it had arrived in a world of frost, shrouded in a cold chill.

On the alloy ground covered in pale-white solid ice, there were huge craters everywhere.

Within these craters, there was ice-element energy spilling out in all directions, and golden lightning arcs that kept jumping and flashing!!

Outside the craters, mechanical wreckage was scattered everywhere.

The entire open-air training ground was as if it had been struck by the most violent missile bombardment, with not a single intact spot to be found!!

And on this ground, there was only one massive figure standing proudly.

She saw this figure was about two meters tall, holding a giant battle-axe, its entire body wreathed in various sacred auras.

The exposed back muscles were knotted together like a ghost-face.

The mysterious patterns on the skin's surface added a touch of fierce, resolute feel.

From her angle, she could only see this back view.

Yet just this single revealed back view made her feel immense heart-palpitation.

After the shock, Jiang Churan quickly came back to her senses—this magnificent figure was none other than the Brother Zhou Yi she had been longing for.

"But how did Brother Zhou Yi become like this?"

It had to be said, this magnificent figure would give one a strong visual impact.

After realizing it was Zhou Yi, Jiang Churan was instead seized by a great wave of doubt.

Just one day without seeing him, how could there be such a huge change?

Just as doubt rose in her heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!......

Brilliant holographic electronic fireworks blanketed the sky above the entire open-air training ground, and a festive electronic prompt tone rang out:

"Congratulations, Master, on passing Level-1 Combat Stance with a time of twenty-four minutes and thirty-two seconds!!"

"Level-1 Combat Stance? Challenge successful?!"

Jiang Churan's eyes instantly went wide and round, as if she could hardly believe the prompt she had just heard............

Level-1 Combat Stance is the highest challenge difficulty of the training ground.

Under this highest difficulty, the intelligent computing power of all robots is pushed to the absolute extreme!!

Optimal saber-swinging angles, fastest reaction speed, and...... optimal coordination!!

Under Level-1 Combat Stance, even a single robot possessing the four-dimensional attributes of a Level-15 ordinary professional can fight on par with a Level-17 professional!

The greater the number of robots, the stronger their coordination, and combat power will multiply severalfold!!

It's hard to imagine how Zhou Yi cleared this highest Level-1 Combat Stance.

After all......

The Level-4 Combat Stance she once challenged had already thrown people into utter disarray — she had originally no way to clear it.

"Huff——"

Right in the center of the training ground, Zhou Yi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Level-1 Combat Stance really was powerful; the agile attacks brought by the dagger-training robots mimicking Assassin-class professionals sometimes left even him without enough time to react and dodge.

However, there was no need to dodge......

With all buff skills maxed out, under the boost of the Frost Titan's formidable physique, virtually no attack could break through his defense.

Of course, he did not simply rely on his powerful defense alone to brute-force his way through.

Instead, he focused on training his footwork and reaction speed.

Only when there was truly no way to dodge would he take a hit.

Of course......

The next second, the training robot launching the attack would also be split apart by his axe in a single strike!

"Throughout the entire Level-1 Combat Stance battle, I was hit a total of sixteen times."

"In this aspect, there's still room for further optimization......"

While most freshmen were still struggling bitterly, wondering how to clear Level-6 or even Level-5 Combat Stance.

Zhou Yi has already been considering how to clear Level-1 Combat Stance with the lowest hit rate.

If this thought were to be learned by the other specially-recruited students, it would likely spark another earth-shattering wave of discussion.
