Chapter 222

"Hello Xia Lan, I am Liu from Suhang University..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Lan ignored him directly and turned to Jiang Chu:

"Xiao Ran, our instructor is looking for us for something, I'll come find you later."

After speaking, she left without looking back.

"..."

Liu Yang was full of doubt about life:

"Am I that unpopular?"

"Elves are naturally only close to people with pure hearts, you should reflect on whether you have done anything you shouldn't have done recently."

Cai Hua teased, which immediately made everyone laugh.

Jiang Chu on the side also had a smile on her face.

Indeed, for true elves, they would only be close to people with pure hearts.

Of course...

Xia Lan, who only possessed some elf bloodline, couldn't reach that level.

The reason she didn't ignore Liu Yang was simply because she didn't like him...

On the other side, as soon as Xia Lan returned to the Qingjing University team.

A few male students surrounded her and asked curiously:

"Xia Lan, was that girl just now your friend?"

Proud and full chest, round and slender legs, plus a peerless appearance.

Just by looking at it, Jiang Chu's figure was deeply imprinted in their minds...

"Give up, you guys have no chance, she's already taken."

Xia Lan's words ruthlessly shattered their fantasies...

"That Zhou Yi?"

In the team, a boy who hadn't spoken for a while opened his mouth.

He was tall and had a pair of eyes that vaguely contained a strange earthy brown color.

He was the captain of Qingjing University, Li Yuan.

As captain, he had learned about the intelligence of major teams before this.

Among them, Suhang University, the champion of the previous session, was the object he focused on.

And he naturally knew the other party's captain, Zhou Yi.

"Mm."

Seeing Li Yuan, Xia Lan subconsciously became serious.

Even in Qingjing University, where there were many geniuses, Li Yuan was the most outstanding one.

S+ level awakening talent, plus special alien bloodline.

Made him win the first place among freshmen at Qingjing University with an unparalleled crushing momentum.

Facing such a person, even she had to be cautious.

"So he is the captain of Suhang University, that Paladin Zhou Yi."

"Hehe, I don't know what Suhang University is thinking, they would rather have a Paladin than a Priest."

"That's right, although Paladins are hidden professions, they are only strong in state enhancement. In terms of healing and recovery, they really can't compare to professional Priest professionals."

"..."

Mentioning Zhou Yi, everyone at Qingjing University also discussed it.

You have to know, the Suhang University expedition team without a Priest had surprised their school.

After all, as a top university, they didn't dare not bring a Priest.

In fact, the Priest in the team was their vice-captain!

"Once the competition starts, I must let him see why flowers are so red!"

Someone said, rubbing their hands.

"Don't be too happy too early, Zhou Yi's strength is much stronger than you think, his level is already 22."

Cheng Yongchun, who was walking in front, spoke up.

"WTF??! Level 22? So high? I'm only level 18!"

"Brother Yuan is only level 20, right? He is actually two levels higher than Brother Yuan?"

"Hiss, is this trying to crush with levels?"

"..."

Learning Zhou Yi's level, everyone gasped in low voices.

Even the elf girl Xia Lan was slightly surprised.

You have to know...

Once a professional's level approaches level 20, the experience required to level up will rise significantly.

For a freshman, being able to enter level 18 is very good.

I didn't expect this Zhou Yi to be level 22, a full four levels higher than their group!

The gap can be imagined!

"Level 22?"

Li Yuan also showed an interested look.

In front, Cheng Yongchun, seeing everyone nervous, nodded with satisfaction.

As a top university, Suhang University could not possibly make low-level mistakes.

Either Zhou Yi was enough to act as a Priest, or the strength of the entire team gave them confidence that they could win easily without a Priest.

"Anyway, there must be something fishy about this, Zhou Yi might just be a powerful trump card of theirs!"

"But Old Wu, you have a trump card, can I not have a trump card?"

Cheng Yongchun's mouth showed a smile.

In the team behind him, a thin boy kept his head down, seemingly uninterested in everything around him.

He was just playing with the small robot in his hand.

The small robot, under his manipulation, switched into dozens of forms in just one second...

"Phew, finally I can rest for a few days."

"Is anyone going to the city center later?"

"I'm going, I'm going!"

"..."

Returning to the student villa, everyone discussed the upcoming itinerary with great interest.

After all, it was the most core municipality of Central Xia, and they also had infinite curiosity in their hearts.

"Brother Zhou Yi, shall we go together?"

Jiang Chu looked at Zhou Yi with big eyes.

"Mm, let's go together,"

Zhou Yi nodded with a smile.

He was also very interested in the prosperous Qingjing City.

"Okay, then I'll send Xia Lan a message first to tell her I'll be back later."

Jiang Chu's eyes lit up, and she took out her phone and started sending messages to Xia Lan.

Besides Jiang Chu and Zhou Yi, everyone else was also preparing to stroll around the city center of Qingjing.

Finally, all ten people from the Suhang University team, including Zhou Yi, returned to their rooms to change into their casual clothes.

Only then did they walk out of the student villa.

The final grand finals of the exchange tournament involved ten universities, and the reporting time to Qingjing University was all October 25th.

At this time, it was approaching noon, and almost all ten universities had arrived.

As soon as Zhou Yi and his group stepped out of the villa.

They saw many students wearing the uniforms of other schools walking along the road, chatting and laughing, while occasionally glancing around.

"Rongyang University, Hancheng University—these Top 10 universities are truly strong..."

The ranking of schools in the Central Xia Kingdom is determined by their comprehensive teaching strength and resources.

Therefore, even if some schools are rated as Top 10, they are not necessarily selected for the National Freshman Exchange Tournament grand finals every year.

Even so, one could still see several very familiar Top 10 universities.

Some of them were even schools that Zhou Yi had rejected back when he first awakened his S+ talent...

"Zhou Yi!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side.

Following the sound, Zhou Yi saw a group of people walking toward them.

This group was wearing the uniforms of Hancheng University.

Leading them was a female teacher with a pleasant face, dressed in a mentor's uniform.

"Zhou Yi, it really is you."

Seeing Zhou Yi turn around, the female teacher also smiled.

"Hello, Teacher Zhu."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile.

This teacher from Hancheng University was none other than Zhu Yu, the only one who hadn't shown anger—but rather great appreciation—when he had declared his intention to apply to the three top universities before the college entrance exam.

"Zhou Yi, your strength has improved way too fast!"

After looking Zhou Yi up and down carefully, Zhu Yu couldn't help but marvel.

When they met in June, Zhou Yi was only level 13; five months later, he had transformed and reached level 22!

Even riding a rocket wouldn't be this fast!

"It is all thanks to the school's training."

Zhou Yi smiled.

After chatting casually with Zhu Yu for a few moments, he left with Jiang Churan and the others.

"Teacher Zhu, is that Zhou Yi, the top scorer of Suhang Province whom the school tried so hard to recruit but failed to get?"

Someone in the Hancheng University student team asked curiously.

"That's right."

Zhu Yu did not hide it and said directly.

After all, it was a fact.

"As expected of the former provincial top scorer, his temperament is truly extraordinary..."

A girl in the team began to swoon.

Another person said confidently: "Teacher Zhu, don't worry, this time we will definitely secure a spot in the top three.

Let those top universities see that our Hancheng University is not to be trifled with!"

The preliminary selection for the National Freshman Exchange Tournament selected a total of seven schools.

And Hancheng University was almost the strongest among those seven.

"Alright, alright, I understand."

"Let's go, our accommodation area is just ahead."

Watching the highly motivated students, Zhu Yu couldn't help but smile.

Yet she didn't notice that one of the girls in her squad was staring at Zhou Yi's departing back with a suspicious look...
