Chapter 339

Lu Zhou, who had been standing in the distance, stared in terror at the spot where he had just been standing.

And there, a tall, imposing young man stood — a halo of light behind him, a massive battle-axe in his grip, radiating an overwhelming pressure!!

"What a pity — otherwise that axe just now could have split your right arm clean off along with your staff."

In the distance, Zhou Yi shook his head with a hint of regret.

The casting of the Holy Storm skill has a certain delay.

When grinding monsters in a dungeon, this flaw isn't very obvious.

After all, monsters react more sluggishly, and monsters in ordinary dungeons usually come in groups of dozens.

Even if they noticed, they had Originally no way to fully dodge it.

But on the arena stage, it was a different story.

Every contestant from Qingjing University is a top-tier genius!!

The moment they sensed something was wrong, they immediately chose to dodge aside!

There were only six of them, and on the open arena stage, dodging was naturally very easy.

Of course......

Zhou Yi had anticipated this as well.

His purpose in using Holy Storm was, on one hand, to interrupt Lu Zhou's spellcasting and Xia Lan's arrow assault.

On the other hand, it was to better enable his own charge!!

And the final result was quite good — he successfully charged up to the mage Lu Zhou, who had been isolated at the front while dodging the Holy Storm.

But unfortunately, this Lu Zhou simply had too many defensive magic items, so he failed to chop off the opponent's right arm in one swing!

Losing a right arm — even with a priest in their team, recovery in a short time would be extremely difficult!

It could be said that one of Qingjing University's major combat forces would have been instantly weakened!

Pity, in the end it didn't succeed.

If the magic shields had been three or four fewer, Zhou Yi might actually have pulled it off.......

"It's an A-rank Holy Light Soaking Shield! And it looks like the skill level isn't low either!"

"Haha, all of Qingjing University's arrow attacks were blocked directly."

"The Holy Light Soaking Shield is indeed good for defense, but it also means Zhou Yi has no way to quickly charge in."

"......"

Quite a few professionals watching felt very familiar with the holy-light shield wall that had suddenly appeared on the arena.

Speaking of which, the Holy Knight who created this skill took on a great many disciples back in the day, and through them the skill became widely spread.

However......

What they didn't know was that this wasn't merely an A-rank Holy Light Soaking Shield — it was the Twin Soaking Shield, improved by Wang Hui, this third-turn professional!

Although it was a weakened version, it was already A+ rank.

Otherwise, it couldn't have so easily withstood the arrow attacks of the divine archer Xia Lan!

Just as the spectators in the stadium were guessing what Zhou Yi would do next.

A massive Holy Light Storm was instantly unleashed.

The ferocious wind made the energy barrier shrouding the entire arena ripple like the surface of water!!

"Holy shit?! What kind of storm is that? Is that even a skill a Holy Knight can wield?"

"A storm over twenty meters tall — that's just too outrageous......"

"That storm, if placed on a battlefield, would be nothing but a meat grinder!"

"......"

The audience gasped in amazement, and Wang Kun's commentary rose at just the right moment:

"Holy Storm, B-rank skill — can summon a storm condensed from holy light at a designated location, dealing light-Attribute magic damage to all enemies within a certain range. It is an exclusive skill of the Holy Knight."

"Although it's only B-rank, as a spell-output skill of the Holy Knight, the skill book for Holy Storm is extremely hard to come by."

"Of course......"

"As a top-tier university, Suhang University can naturally learn it at will."

Wang Kun's words immediately made quite a few professionals in the audience seats green with envy.

One had to know —

For professionals like them, learning a skill suited to themselves often required considerable effort.

But at a top-tier university, skills like these seemed obtainable without much cost.

"Truly worthy of a top-tier university!"

Someone sighed with deep feeling.

Apart from professional universities, it would be hard to find another chance later in life to so easily learn a large number of skills.

This was also why most noble families had their children sit the college entrance exam and enter top-tier universities.

"Hmph! So what if the storm howls? All six of Qingjing University's people dodged it — this skill didn't deal a single point of damage! It's utterly useless!!"

Some spectators were utterly disdainful.

"Heh, with a brain like yours, you probably can't even tell that Zhou Yi's Holy Storm was never meant as an attack in the first place!"

Experienced professionals immediately saw through Zhou Yi's intent.

"Not meant as an attack? Then what's it for? Looking pretty?"

The spectator who had spoken earlier wasn't about to back down, and fired back on the spot!

However, the very next moment, he was instantly proven wrong.

Because of the sudden appearance of the Holy Storm, all six contestants of Qingjing University had scattered and fled in different directions.

And the lone mage among them was seized upon by Zhou Yi, who took the chance to cleave his right arm with a single axe strike!!

"Holy shit? That's brutal! Without those ten-plus magic shields, Lu Zhou's right arm would've been chopped clean off, right?"

"Indeed, decisive enough! With that axe landing solid, Qingjing University won't have a spell damage-dealer for a while!"

"His combat style is razor-sharp — completely different from when he was playing support earlier!"

"Looks like this Zhou Yi is Suhang University's hidden trump card."

"......"

Once the battle reached this point, the audience could see it too.

This captain of the Holy Knights from Suhang University was no support at all!!

He was a bona fide damage-dealer!

The amplification buffs he threw out were just incidental!

What the audience could see, the major universities in the spectator stands naturally saw as well.

"Zhou Yi! He's actually this strong!"

In the Modu University team, Li Xin's eyes went wide with disbelief.

Under the priest's healing, he had mostly recovered, but still couldn't fight intensely — he'd have to wait until tomorrow.

Lying in the hospital bed was unbearably boring, so he'd chosen to come to Floating Sky Island to watch the match.

He never expected to witness such a ferocious display from Zhou Yi!

"I thought he was only strong in melee. Now it seems his spell skills aren't lacking either!"

He couldn't help clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Zhou Yi — so this is your true strength."

Watching the figure on the holographic projection, Wei He's eyes blazed with intense fighting spirit!

The first time he saw Zhou Yi, he'd felt the man was like a treasured sword hidden in its sheath — once drawn, its edge would naturally flash blindingly bright!

Now it seemed his instinct had been right on the mark!!

On the other side, seeing Lu Zhou nearly lose his right arm to that axe strike,

the remaining Qingjing University contestants in the spectator stands all grew nervous, their expressions taut.

Cheng Yongchun's smile had vanished too, his face turning somewhat grim.

"Haha, my student here really is a multi-role player. Dean Cheng, wouldn't you say?"

At this sight, Wu Mang was delighted and laughed out loud.

Seeing his old rival use his own earlier words against him, Cheng Yongchun's face darkened another shade.

Yet unable to retort, he could only snort coldly:
