Chapter 98

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yi, who had stepped out of the chamber, swept his gaze around the surroundings, his sword-like brows lifting slightly.

Before entering the chamber, when he had learned from the staff about the function of the light pillar.

He already knew that his basic four-dimensional attributes, which had been recorded into the system, would very likely break the record and draw the attention of certain people.

But he hadn't expected that the people drawn over would be so numerous......

"So this is Zhou Yi? He looks very young, and quite handsome too!"

Behind, a petite girl named Wen Tianrun hopped in place as she looked toward the front.

Because she was only one meter sixty tall, she could only keep jumping to peer over the crowded throng and see the figure at the very front.

Though her frame was rather petite, her development was by no means lacking.

As she jumped, certain parts swayed along with her.

"The name Zhou Yi... seems a bit familiar......"

Captain Su Qinglian's delicate brows knitted slightly.

Her jade-like hands took out her phone and tapped through a few operations, quickly pulling up information related to Zhou Yi.

"This Zhou Yi is actually the provincial top scorer of Suhang Province for our year!"

Zhang Yi, a purple-black-haired girl who had leaned over, looked at the content on the phone and exclaimed softly.

"Where? Where? Let me see."

The remaining two members of the Qingyuan team also crowded over.

On Captain Su Qinglian's phone screen, there was plainly a news article titled 'Dark Horse! The Provincial Top Scorer from Lijiang City, Zhou Yi!'

And the figure in the news photo was unmistakably identical to the silhouette walking out of the testing chamber up ahead!

"Monster!"

"Freak!"

After confirming that Zhou Yi was this year's Suhang Province provincial top scorer, the two girls couldn't help but simultaneously draw in a sharp breath.

One had to know—

It had been less than a month since the college entrance exam ended.

Generally speaking, during this one-month period.

The provincial top scorer, who received massive resource investment from the city and provincial governments, would enter a period of frenzied strength growth.

After one month, even doubling one's strength would not be an exaggeration.

And the average four-dimensional attributes of past Suhang Province provincial top scorers were all around 40 points.

Even if Zhou Yi were more formidable than previous top scorers, possessing an average of 50 points across his four-dimensional attributes.

Over this one month......

An average four-dimensional attribute soaring from 50 points to 95 points could no longer be explained by simply doubling one's strength!!

It could simply be called monstrous!!

Just as the women of the Qingyuan team were astonished by the speed of Zhou Yi's strength growth.

The professionals gathered up ahead had already begun their scramble.

"Zhou Yi, want to join our Dawn Squad? Our captain is a level 21 First-turn Mage! We'll guarantee your leveling is worry-free!"

"Pfft, only level 21? Our captain is already level 26. Zhou Yi, join our team!"

"Heh, you lot are all trash!! Our captain is a level 30 Second-turn Machinist, full nanny-style service, joining our team is the best!!"

"......"

Unlike the ordinary support-class profession of Priest, as a hidden class, the Holy Knight.

Could not only apply amplification buffs and healing to teammates, but at critical moments could also step up as a tank to absorb damage!!

Such a professional, even if their level were a bit low.

There were still plenty of teams willing to take them in.

Moreover, this Holy Knight was different from ordinary Holy Knights—this was a prodigy who had broken the peak attribute record of Base Commander Ling Jun!!

Pulling him into the team now and cultivating a good relationship early.

Once he grew into a major power in the future, whatever scraps fell from his hands would be more than enough for these people to digest!

Therefore, many professionals were casting fiery gazes as they extended their invitations.

Hoping Zhou Yi would join their team.

"Captain, should we go invite him too?"

Zhang Yi at the back said eagerly, itching to try.

Their team of five: Captain Su Qinglian was a Warrior following a pure damage-dealing path.

Petite loli Wen Tianrun was a Summoner, and the other two, sisters Zhu Rao and Zhu Dan, were Machinists.

And she herself was a Mage.

Although normally when they ventured through the Mad Wind Mountain Range, the magical beasts summoned by Wen Tianrun and the mechanical creatures of the two sisters scouted ahead and absorbed damage.

In truth, their team was incomplete.

Lacking a tank position and a healer position.

If they could invite Zhou Yi in, it would perfectly fill the team's shortcomings.

"No need.........."

Looking at Zhou Yi, the focus of everyone's attention up ahead, Su Qinglian shook her head and said:

"His level is too low. Although his four-dimensional attributes are terrifying, at most he can only serve as a level 17 Holy Knight."

"Bringing him along would seriously slow down our team's progress."

"Don't forget, this summer break, our goal is for everyone to level up at least two levels."

At her current level, the experience needed to gain even one level could be called a vast ocean!!

The school instance she could enter was only the Twisted Jungle, restricted to levels 23–26.

But for this instance, to her, a professional who was already level 25—

The experience gained from a single run was far too little.

Even clearing it once couldn't fill up one-twentieth of her experience bar.

And each run of the instance consumed a great deal of credits.

It really wasn't worth it!!

That's why they had come to the Gale Wind Mountain Range, to hunt wild magical beasts and gain leveling experience.

And this time, their goal was to obtain enough experience to level up twice within three months!

If Zhou Yi joined the team, they would inevitably be unable to keep hunting high-level magical beasts.

When that time came, their leveling progress would surely be held back.

"Alright then, what a pity."

Zhang Yi withdrew her gaze with a good deal of regret.

Someone like this who fit their team's needs—

And such a handsome-looking young man—was hard to find even at Suhang University.

Missing this one person, their team would most likely remain in a long-term shortage of tank and healer slots for the next half year.

"Let's go, let's get rid of this batch of magical beast materials on hand, along with the herbs and ores we've gathered.

Rest for two days, then we'll head back into the Gale Wind Mountain Range!"

"Yes!"

Under Su Qinglian's lead, the members of the Blue Kite team soon departed.

On the other side.

Zhou Yi, who was surrounded by the crowd, was considering whether to buff himself up and activate Holy Light Guardian to force his way out—

When suddenly a light, brisk sound of applause and praise rang out:

"Indeed, heroes come from the young. Zhou Yi, impressive!!"

A middle-aged man in a suit, slightly portly in build, was seen walking over from the side.
