Chapter 71

The entire conference hall was a full 500 square meters, extremely spacious.

He did not use a microphone, yet that deep, powerful voice still reached every student's ears with perfect clarity.

"Call roll by ranking sequence? When I reported yesterday, I heard the higher the sequence, the stronger the strength—is that right?"

"Yeah, I confirmed it on the official website yesterday."

"Tsk tsk, I'm fourth in the whole province and only got sequence 25—sure they didn't mess up?"

"Mess up, my ass. You think fourth in the province is all that? Among the specially-recruited students, there are several provincial top scorers!"

"Fair point. So who do you think our school's sequence 001 will be?"

"Won't we know in a moment? Dean Wu already said he'd call roll by ranking sequence."

"......"

The students in their seats were looking around, and a few of the provincial top scorers had an unusual gleam in their eyes.

Anyone specially recruited into Suhang University was the elite of the elite.

The higher the sequence, the greater the potential.

They were curious—who exactly was that sequence 001, to be ranked ahead of them all.

PS: Please send flowers, bookmarks, and evaluation votes—your support is my motivation to update!!

"Sequence 001, Zhou Yi."

Hearing Wu Mang call his name, Zhou Yi stood up.

"Zhou Yi, level 13, class: Holy Knight."

His self-introduction was extremely brief.

But the moment he finished, it was as if a boulder had been hurled into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a huge uproar!!

"Holy Knight—no way?! The top freshman is actually a Holy Knight?"

"That's absurd. Holy Knight may be a hidden class, but isn't it more of a support? Just buffing the team—how did he end up as the top freshman?"

"The school couldn't have made a mistake, could they?"

"......"

In the conference hall, nearly every student's gaze was fixed on Zhou Yi.

Many of those gazes carried doubt.

After all, most of those present were students from other provinces.

Zhou Yi was famous, but only within Suhang Province.

To people from other provinces, all they saw was a heavily-armored support class becoming the top freshman.

Quite a few even suspected there might be some shady dealings behind it.

Of course, the local students who had watched the college entrance exam video weren't surprised.

After all, in that nightmare-level dungeon, his dominance had been nothing short of terrifying!

Facing the many gazes, Zhou Yi's expression didn't change.

After speaking, he sat back down in his seat.

"I knew it would be like this!"

After getting the intelligence files on all the new students, Wang Li had already anticipated this scene.

But unfortunately......

Zhou Yi had no intention of accepting their protection services.

He glanced to the right.

Zhou Yi, who was being questioned by the crowd, wore a calm expression, as if nothing in the world could make him waver.

With sequence 001's appearance, the buzz and discussion among the students below didn't seem to draw Wu Mang's attention on stage.

He simply continued calling names:

"Sequence 002, Shen Lingfeng."

As his words fell, a figure with fiery red hair rose from a front-row seat.

"I'm Shen Lingfeng, from Ning'an City, level 14 Berserker."

A faint smile hung on his face, giving him an elegant, dashing air.

But the aura radiating from him gave people a sense of wild ferocity.

It made one instinctively uneasy, as if being stared down by a fierce, powerful beast.

"Hiss, this Shen Lingfeng doesn't look simple!!"

"Just looking at him gives me a feeling of being suppressed."

"Looks like he must have a special bloodline—unconsciously radiating pressure outward."

"A level 14 Berserker—now this sequence 002 looks the part."

"......"

The hidden class of the Warrior class: Berserker.

Its damage output was extremely strong, even fiercer than a Mage's—a solid damage dealer on any team.

And one could tell at a glance that this Shen Lingfeng possessed a special bloodline.

Someone like that holding sequence 002 didn't spark much controversy.

"Shen Lingfeng comes from the deeply rooted Shen clan.

Both his parents are third-awakening professionals, giving him the very finest upbringing.

On top of that, he himself carries the top-tier Flame Dragon bloodline and is extremely disciplined in daily life.

His overall strength can only be described as terrifying!

"Brother Yi could actually trample even him underfoot — you could say he's truly monstrous."

The information on Shen Lingfeng surfaced in his mind, and Wang Li couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

With Shen Lingfeng's background and strength, placed anywhere in the entire Zhongxia Nation, he would be among the very top.

One could say, hands down, the strength of a provincial top scholar.

What a pity......

But this year, Suhang Province just happened to produce a monster like Zhou Yi, causing the other party to only take second place.

"Sequence No. 003, Jiang Churan."

The roll call continued. The graceful figure to Zhou Yi's right stood up and introduced herself:

"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Churan of Sequence 003, from Chuan Province, level 14, my profession is Spirit-Taming Swordsman."

A faint smile graced Jiang Churan's pretty face.

Unlike Zhou Yi, her self-introduction was a bit longer.

Paired with her gentle, melodious voice, quite a few students in the classroom were immersed in it.

"What do I do, I feel like my heart has been stolen away."

"Hiss, such a beautiful beauty, yet her strength is actually not weak either — she's Sequence No. 003! Amazing!"

"Spirit-Taming Swordsman, I remember that seems to be a hidden class too, and its damage output is also pretty good, I recall."

"......"

Amid the students' discussion below, Wu Mang nodded slightly, gesturing for Jiang Churan to sit down.

Next, he continued calling names one by one.

It took nearly half an hour or so before all the students' names had been called.

"A total of 52 specially-recruited students, every one of them with extraordinary backgrounds."

Zhou Yi's gaze sharpened slightly.

In the roll call just now, quite a few people, besides stating their name, level, and class information, also mentioned their ranking within their respective provinces.

And none of these people had a provincial ranking lower than the top 10.

One could say that now, within this conference hall, almost all the top geniuses from across the nation were gathered!!

"It's also true — anyone specially recruited into Suhang University is no simple character."

A very simple principle, within the entire conference hall.

Even the seemingly unreliable Wang Li beside him must certainly be extremely powerful.
