Chapter 79: This kind of combat commotion, and you tell me it's a freshman

"You're not planning to fight me with this sword, are you?"

At the entrance of Bieshu Sect No. 003, Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Churan standing prettily before him and couldn't help but complain.

Equipment, once it reaches Gold grade, brings very considerable boosts.

Take his Gold-grade weapon, the Xuanlight Battle Hammer, for example—it adds 18 Constitution points and 24 Intelligence points.

While his original Constitution and Intelligence attributes were 97 and 96 respectively.

With the weapon's boost, they could reach 115 Constitution points and 120 Intelligence points respectively.

Equipping the weapon, the four-dimensional attributes could be said to have increased by more than a fifth!

Additionally, the Xuanlight Battle Hammer also comes with a special effect that raises the level of all light-system skills below Grade B by +1.

This is yet another fairly powerful boost effect.

And this is only a Gold-grade weapon.

If it were replaced with an Epic or Legendary-grade weapon, the boost it brings would only be even more outrageous!!

And this inheritance weapon, the Dark Moon Ancient Sword, which can rival a Legendary-grade weapon.

Even if it adds over 40 attribute points, Zhou Yi wouldn't be surprised.

Not to mention he still doesn't know what special effects this weapon comes with......

It can be said that as long as she uses this weapon, Jiang Churan's strength will surely skyrocket!!

"How about I switch to another one."

Jiang Churan also felt a bit embarrassed and hurriedly said.

This Dark Moon Ancient Sword was the inheritance weapon rewarded by her family when she transferred to the Soul-Taming Swordsman class at age 16.

Because the college entrance exam restricted equipment to at most Bronze 3-Star.

So, she didn't use this weapon during the college entrance exam either.

Now that she was about to spar with Zhou Yi, she subconsciously took out this sword.

But forgot that if she used this sword, it would seem somewhat unfair to Zhou Yi.

"Forget it, just use this one."

Complaints aside, Zhou Yi had no intention of letting Jiang Churan switch weapons.

After all, in combat situations other than the college entrance exam.

Opponents wouldn't switch weapons just because theirs were too good.

Moreover......

He also wanted to see just how powerful this provincial top scorer from Sichuan Province would ultimately be when paired with an inheritance weapon.

Suhang University, central southern district.

There was a massive modern building about 60-plus meters tall with 12 floors.

On the side of the building, the three large characters "Training Building" were written in regular script.

The Training Building is the venue Suhang University provides for students to conduct various trainings.

Each building is large enough to accommodate over two thousand students training simultaneously.

There are a total of three such Training Buildings on the Suhang University campus.

Among them, this No. 1 Training Building located in the southern district of Suhang University. Because it is relatively close to the cafeteria, dormitories, and teaching buildings, it is also the most popular of the three Training Buildings.

And the arenas for students to spar in actual combat are also set up on the 10th, 11th, and 12th floors of the Training Building.

"Heh, Wang Ziwei, a month has passed and your strength hasn't improved much."

"Hmph, that was my mistake just now, let's go again!"

"A mistake? Fine, then let's have another match!"

"......"

The 10th floor of No. 1 Training Building has an extremely spacious area.

Looking around, it's at least four or five thousand square meters or so.

And within this spacious area, a total of 5 large arenas, each 20 meters long and wide, have been placed.

Unlike ordinary arenas, these arenas are entirely forged from alloy.

The exterior and ground of the arenas are both inscribed with enchantment defense runes that solidify the surface.

And not only that, each arena has a built-in Level 5 intelligence system that can monitor students' status at any time.

Once it determines that a fatal danger may occur, it will immediately erect a protective shield to ensure students don't have accidents.

At this moment, all 5 of these arenas are already in an activated state.

The people fighting on them.

Include not only fighters wearing gloves with fierce offense, but also mages holding staffs with graceful movement.

There are also mechanists and summoners who have summoned a bunch of machines and monsters.

The arenas are fighting intensely, and in the rest area below the arenas.

There are also quite a few people watching the battles, occasionally erupting in cheers.

"Swish—"

The automatic door opened.

A young man and a young girl walked in.

The young man was tall, with a sharply angular face and a composed expression, as if everything were under his control.

And the girl beside him looked to be only about eighteen years old.

She had a head of beautiful black hair, a tall and voluptuous figure, and delicate, pretty features.

The smile she inadvertently revealed looked incomparably sweet.

Behind her, she carried a long-sheathed sword emitting a cold, deadly aura.

"Hm? So many people?"

Zhou Yi was startled by the bustle of the fighting arena.

He had assumed there wouldn't be many here.

"Hello, fellow students. Are you here to use the arena for a match?"

Or just to watch?"

A girl in her early twenties, wearing a uniform and sporting black voluminous curls, walked over gracefully with a gentle smile.

Many venues at Suzhou University collaborate with external companies, and the fighting arena is no exception.

The collaborating company is called Faraway Technology Co., Ltd.

This sci-fi-style arena was provided by them.

As a commercial enterprise, they also know how to give guests a better experience.

For instance, the uniform worn by this staff member is a black short dress.

Paired with slightly tight black thigh-high socks, though it doesn't reach the breathtaking level of Jiang Churan.

But she's still a quite attractive girl.

And staff like her are commonplace here.

"Mm."

Zhou Yi gave a slight nod, not paying much attention to her appearance.

"Then please follow me."

Under the lead of the short-haired girl, Zhou Yi and Jiang Churan arrived at the front desk.

After presenting their student IDs, she quickly entered their match information into the system.

"There are many people using the arena now. Three matches are ahead of you—you'll need to wait a bit."

When it's your turn, a notification tone will play."

The short-haired girl said with a sweet smile.

"Alright."

Zhou Yi sighed helplessly, while Jiang Churan, unsurprised, smiled and said:

"Looks like we'll have to wait a while—also, we can watch the seniors' battles."

"Fair enough."

The two walked to the resting area, found a random sofa, and sat down to observe the fights on the arena.

Suzhou University students are generally around level 17 or 18.

With top-tier instructors guiding them, everyone has strong combat awareness, and their battles are highly enjoyable to watch.

"Students with ID numbers ** and **, please prepare for battle on Arena 2."

"......"

Moments later, an electronic notification tone echoed from the surround speakers embedded in the walls.

"ID numbers starting with 2624? New students have arrived?"

"Wasn't the Special Enrollment Meet just over this morning? Already someone's come to the arena?"

"Haha, probably some conflict broke out!!"

"......"
