Chapter 76: Entering the Gale Mountain Range

Leaving the supply base, Zhou Yi, having obtained his identity verification, easily passed through the checkpoint and entered the Gale Mountain Range.

When he first entered the checkpoint, there were still many fellow professionals.

Most of them were chatting and laughing, looking very lively. ===== CHAPTER 148 =====

But not long after walking into the mountain range, they all disappeared without a trace, like a river flowing into the sea.

Only Zhou Yi, the lone traveler, remained.

At the same time, the roars belonging to magic beasts began to sound from afar.

"Roar~~~~"

"Awoo~~~"

"......"

Violent roars, dense and tall jungles.

Although it was his first time facing this kind of wilderness scene directly.

But in the nightmare-level dungeon of the college entrance examination, Zhou Yi had seen scenes even more terrifying than this.

Therefore, he didn't feel anything special.

With an unchanging expression, he took the Profound Light War Hammer from his back and gripped it in his hand.

"Courage Blessing! Guardian Blessing!"

Accompanied by a dazzling holy light, Zhou Yi's momentum grew even stronger.

These two skills were only D-level buff skills; they consumed very little mana and could last for about 10 minutes.

And after 10 minutes, this little bit of consumed mana would have long since recovered to its original state under the mana recovery acceleration effect of the Dense Forest Set...

"Hoo—"

Zhou Yi, having added the buff to himself, let out a long breath and then looked at the jungle in the distance:

"Let's begin. Sweep through the outskirts of the Gale Mountain Range."

Gripping the war hammer tightly in his right hand, Zhou Yi strode forward.

August 1st is the day for all other freshmen to report.

And August 3rd is the day the freshman competition begins.

Today is June 23rd, and there is still more than a month until August 3rd.

In this month or so, he wants to walk through the entire outskirts of the Gale Mountain Range.

Searching for traces of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus.

And the Gale Mountain Range, which is as large as four Ning'an Cities, is extremely vast, even just the outer area.

Therefore, he must seize the time...

"Step, step..."

The Dense Forest Combat Boots stepped on the loess road, making sounds.

The reddish sunlight of the sunset shone on Zhou Yi, dragging a long shadow on the road.

While most of his peers were still training at school.

This young man, however, resolutely embarked on a lonely path...

In the blink of an eye, nearly a month passed.

At Suhang University, although the newly enrolled special admission students were almost all training in their respective dormitories.

Many people still realized something was wrong.

"Eh? Why do I feel like I haven't seen that 001-sequence Paladin for a long time?"

"That's right, I haven't seen him for a long time either. The lights in the 001 villa on the top of the mountain don't seem to have been on at night."

"Heh, this period is exactly when our strength is rapidly improving. Who knows where he ran off to."

"I heard he comes from a relatively barren prefecture-level city in Jiangbei. Most likely, he was dazzled by the prosperity of Ning'an City, and with the cash rewards from the province and city, it's normal for him to stay out all night every day."

"Hmph, people from small places are just people from small places; their vision is too short-sighted! Choosing to enjoy now, they'll have plenty of suffering later!"

"......"

You should know that the credits of Suhang University are limited to use within the school.

Once you leave the school, the credits are worthless.

Although they didn't know why Zhou Yi wasn't in school during this time, he wasn't using credits to exchange for resources to improve his strength.

His speed of strength improvement would definitely fall far behind everyone else.

The other special admission students were naturally happy to see this.

Suhang University, Teaching Building, 3rd Floor, Conference Hall.

A meeting regarding this year's special admission students was being held.

"Everyone, how have the special admission students been performing recently?"

Wu Mang, the Dean of the War College sitting in the main seat, spoke up.

Possessing giant bloodline and standing over three meters tall, his seat was also different from other teachers—extremely wide.

A deep voice came from his tall body, and the entire conference hall seemed to vibrate along with it.

"Not bad. Recently, quite a few special admission students have come to ask me for advice on training issues."

One of the mentors smiled.

Although they would only choose mentors and be assigned to colleges after the freshman competition.

But during this period, special admission students could actually ask them, these teachers, for advice on some issues.

More than half a month had passed, and clearly, many people had realized this.

"The strength of this year's freshmen is very good, and they are also very diligent in their training.

As far as I know, Shen Lingfeng, ranked 002 in the sequence, has already been able to break through the level 5 combat stance of the training robots in the villa training ground."

Another teacher reported.

"Hmm, not bad."

Wu Mang nodded slightly.

He is the Dean of the War College and also the general manager of this year's special admission students.

Responsible for paying attention to the relevant training information of these special admission students after enrollment.

And in one month, clearing the level 5 combat stance is indeed a very good talent.

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Su Mei in the seat on the left:

"Teacher Su, I heard that Zhou Yi hasn't been at school during this time?"

All the sequence rankings of the special admission students were arranged by him personally.

And Zhou Yi, whom he evaluated as the strongest freshman.

He was naturally more concerned.

He hoped that the other party would work hard to consume resources and further improve his strength during this time of enrollment.

However, he heard the news that the other party didn't seem to be in school.

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath, Su Mei reported.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Wu Mang frowned.

The aura belonging to a third-turn professional filled the entire conference hall, immediately making the surrounding teachers feel the pressure increase significantly.

"The day after the special admission student meeting, Zhou Yi went to the Gale Mountain Range."

"The purpose should be to find the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus that can allow his younger sister to safely awaken her bloodline."

Su Mei said, biting the bullet.

Under the pressure of Wu Mang, this third-turn warrior, she, a second-turn mage, didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Went to the Gale Mountain Range?"

Wu Mang frowned deeply.

However, thinking that the other party was not indulging in luxury in Ning'an City as rumored.

His brows gradually relaxed:

"Since he went to the Gale Mountain Range, that's fine."

"However, Zhou Yi has wasted this month, a period when special admission students' strength rapidly improves." ===== CHAPTER 149 =====
