Chapter 34: Secure Top 100 in Province, the Rising Star of Second High School

"To successfully judge both skills, Zhou Yi's Strength attribute must be at least 50 points!"

"Excluding the weapon blessing bonus on the axe, Zhou Yi's own Strength attribute is already at least 35 points!"

Jia Tao, the education bureau director with a ruthless gaze, looked utterly confident.

Yet, what he did not know was.

Zhou Yi's base Strength attribute was already 45 points, plus the axe's bonus.

His current Strength attribute had reached a terrifying 66 points!!

That was precisely why, against the enraged elite Minotaur, his Tiger Strike and Air Slash had both judged successful.

"35 points of Strength—no wonder he dared to solo the Nightmare dungeon; he was well-prepared."

At this moment, Jia Tao realized he had underestimated Zhou Yi.

Such a Strength attribute was no less impressive than that of some geniuses from the provincial capital!

"Whoa, that combo of Tiger Strike and Air Slash is so cool!"

"Yeah, it's just like those edited clips online—I'm pumped just watching!"

A student exclaimed excitedly.

Keep in mind—

Combat scenes that stand out online require extremely stringent conditions.

Such praise was by no means low.

In fact, the teachers at the Second High School felt the same.

As veteran high school instructors, they possessed considerable strength themselves.

When watching students' battles and maneuvers, they naturally saw countless errors and flaws.

But watching Zhou Yi fight, they felt pure satisfaction.

Perfectly timed skill releases, absolute confidence in his own power.

Group 3.717erjiu1yijiu

All of this.

Made it hard to believe this was the battle scene of a mere Level 10 Gao San student.

"The elite Minotaur has been slain!"

At that moment, Jia Tao, who had been staring intently at the screen, brightened.

"Amazing! Extremely amazing!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! The Second High School has produced such a prodigy!"

Jia Tao abandoned his initial displeasure, his face now beaming with a radiant smile.

Generally speaking, the education bureau director was not supposed to speak casually.

But first, he had come to the Second High School specifically because of Zhou Yi.

Second, Zhou Yi's performance was simply too outstanding—he couldn't help but blurt out praise.

Moreover, having reached the position of education bureau director, he was himself an experienced teacher who had witnessed multiple Gaokao cycles.

He naturally understood that, based on Zhou Yi's performance, he was virtually certain to be the Second High School's top Gaokao candidate.

In Jiangsu Province's rankings, he would at least enter the top one hundred!

If Zhou Yi could advance further in subsequent stages and slay the boss, he might even break into the provincial top twenty!

Thus, cultivating a good relationship with the Second High School would be worthwhile.

"Feng shui shifts—it's finally time for the Second High School to produce a genius!"

"Hahaha..."

Principal Luo was also excitedly clenching his fists.

Lijiang City was merely a small prefecture-level city under Jiangsu Province.

And Lijiang Second High School ranked among the lower-middle tier among Lijiang's major high schools.

Since its founding, the school's top Gaokao student had never ranked higher than 721st in the province.

Now, with Zhou Yi's guaranteed top-100 provincial ranking as a Transformed Paladin, how could he not be thrilled?

"I knew it—Zhou Yi refused the Top 10 universities not out of arrogance, but because he had confidence in his own strength!"

Principal Luo felt grateful for his decision.

Had he forcefully demanded Zhou Yi accept a special admission from a Top 10 university,

Not only would it be uncertain whether Zhou Yi would have obeyed, but he would have left behind no good impression.

"I think Zhou Yi is aiming squarely for the provincial top fifty."

"Old Wang, you're being too conservative—I'd say at least top thirty!"

"This year should finally break the school's all-time record."

"Zhou Yi is the rising star of our Second High School!"

The teachers nearby had begun to lavish praise.

"Old Li, come sit over here."

Principal Luo waved enthusiastically toward Li Xiangyang, the homeroom teacher of Class 5.

The vice principal who had originally sat beside the principal had deliberately vacated his seat for Li Xiangyang, Class 5's homeroom teacher.

Now that Zhou Yi's performance had shone so brightly,

As Class 5's homeroom teacher, Li Xiangyang had also basked in Zhou Yi's glory.

Sitting beside the principal, watching his longtime rival Tang Tianjun look on with envy,

Li Xiangyang felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

After fighting Tang Tianjun for so many years, this was the first time he had ever been so glorious.

Amid his elation, Li Xiangyang secretly cheered Zhou Yi on in his heart.

The one who travels a hundred miles is only halfway at ninety.

Although Zhou Yi has already slain the elite Minotaur, the hardest part was still the final BOSS battle.

As a nightmare-level dungeon, the BOSS's strength was terrifyingly fearsome.

He only hoped that in the upcoming BOSS battle, Zhou Yi could continue to hold steady.

Watching Li Xiangyang become the principal's guest of honor, being pulled aside to chat with the director of the Education Bureau.

The two homeroom teachers of the Rocket Class exchanged a glance, simultaneously revealing wry smiles.

Although helpless, they were also clear.

Even the top students in their own classes probably could not be as outstanding as Zhou Yi.

"In the end, we can only hope they perform beyond their usual level."

Under Zhou Yi's dazzling performance, the two Rocket Class homeroom teachers could only hope for this.

"He's entered the next checkpoint!!"

Soon, Zhou Yi stepped into the light gate.

"He entered the next checkpoint so quickly? Why not rest a while longer."

Principal Luo Heng's brow furrowed slightly, and the many teachers also straightened their expressions, involuntarily sitting up straight.

The checkpoint did not set a time limit for entry.

Generally speaking, after clearing all the monsters in a checkpoint.

One would rest for a period of time, recover one's condition, and only then enter the next checkpoint.

"Reckless!"

Director Jia also furrowed his brow.

If he failed in the upcoming BOSS battle because his condition had not recovered well.

That would truly be a huge loss!

"Senior Zhou is too impatient."

"Sigh, he should have rested a while longer."

"……"

Seeing Zhou Yi actually choose not to rest and directly step into the light gate.

This immediately caused all the teachers and students, who had been immersed in joy, to quickly tense up.
