Chapter 326



326 The Shock Came So Quickly and So Seriously!

The afternoon matches were about to begin. However, many in the audience were still discussing the match between Kyoto and Donghu.

“I still don’t understand. Why did the quality of Moss’s shield suddenly increase?”

“Aren’t you too naive? Do you know what it means to hide your strength?”

“Hehe, what era are we in now? There are still simpletons around. I’ll cherish him.”

…

The audience never stopped discussing Moss’s shield since they noticed its abnormality. Now the simpleton had reignited the topic, and of course, it aroused some viewers’ enthusiasm.

“Speaking of Moss’s shield, I must admit Moss had come prepared in that morning’s match. Furthermore, he knew his opponent’s attack power like the back of his hand,” A bespectacled, skinny male student as thin as skin and bones started with a high profile comment.

Seeing that he had attracted the attention of three to five people around him, he raised the corner of his mouth. He said rather proudly, “After the match between Moss and Atwood ended, I used my phone to search for information about him on the internet and found some clues.

“When the morning match ended, I went to the internet café for research. My hard work paid off, and I found some useful information.”

After saying that, he successfully attracted the attention of seven to eight people around him.

“During Moss’s time in White Deer City’s professional competition, a live streamer named King Knight hosted a stream called ‘Knight’s secrets revealed.’ At that time, King Knight had detailedly analyzed Moss’s performance.

“Afterward, someone combined his analysis, compiled notes, and posted them on the forum,” The bespectacled male student spoke in a lively manner. His expressiveness showed he was a good speaker.

“What do you mean?” Someone could not wait to ask.

“I’ll pick out a few key paragraphs. From probing, analyzing, and adapting to the situation, Moss’s understanding of skills and combat far exceeded his peers!

“Even if he knew the other party had entered berserk mode, he would still take down the other party in one fell swoop. It fully demonstrated Moss’s astonishing calculation, analysis of abilities, and control over the profession.

“His battle with a Great Swordsman, Isabel, showed his outstanding judgment and ability to count the seconds of his skills.”

As the bespectacled student spoke, he paused and rubbed his nose. He was so pleased with himself that he continued smugly, “That’s all for now. If anyone wants to know more, you can add me on social media later. I’ll send you the link.”

“Good! I’ll add you later.”

“Yeah, me too!”

Hearing the surrounding people’s enthusiasm, the bespectacled student became even more enthusiastic. “Actually, from these few words, you can see that Moss is calculative, quick-witted, and very controlling!

“So, based on his different performances against Fanny from HN University and Atwood from Donghu University, he must have held back his strength. According to my analysis, even the defense he’s showing now is not his actual defense level!”

Hearing this, the surrounding audience members expressed their doubts and questioned, “Then wasn’t Moss too confident in his own defenses?”

“With a more robust defense, the shield would not look close to breaking. Also, if Moss doesn’t control it well and the shield’s power is weak, the opponent will break it. Then Moss will be gambling and may get hit in the next second. He might even lose the game.”

“That’s right. To do this, Moss’s control over his defenses and his prediction of the opponent’s attack power must be highly accurate!”

…

Hearing the question, the bespectacled student did not panic. He covered his eyes and said smugly, “During this year’s professional competition, Moss was only slightly over level 10. Now, Moss is over level 35. His combat experience is more affluent, and his judgment, computing power, and arena control have made breakthroughs.

“You can also take a look at his other scans later. You’ll have a new understanding of him then.”

Then he changed the topic, “Even if it’s like what you said just now, you didn’t predict it accurately. If the shield breaks, Moss won’t necessarily get injured. In other words, even if the opponent’s power exceeded Moss’s expectations and shattered the shield, he would quickly summon another shield.

“That was because his usage of the shield had already run its course. It was so natural that it was as if it had merged into his blood and consciousness.

“You can watch his first two matches. Moss used his shield like a weapon, and its ability to adapt was impressive. He would adopt the most suitable response plan as the situation changed.

“It made us think he was messing around and that he won the match by insane luck.”

“Wow!”

“If that’s the case, Moss’s mind is too terrifying!”

…

“That kid is not f*king human!” Suddenly, a cry of surprise sounded from behind the bespectacled student. It attracted everyone who turned to look at the student with reddish-brown hair.

A girl with pigtails and glasses, who looked like a class prefect, warned sternly, “Please mind your words, student. We’re attending the exchange competition. If you have any opinions, you can raise them, but you can’t curse others.”

“That’s right!” The other girls around her also chimed in.

The brown-haired male student’s face instantly turned red. He said in embarrassment, “I-I was just lamenting. I’ll be more careful next time.”

“What are you trying to say?” The girl with pigtails asked.

“T-That Moss is fantastic. N-No, he’s too impressive. Only second-year students can participate in the professional competition, correct?” The brown-haired student said in a trembling voice.

Before he could finish, someone rolled their eyes at him and said coldly, “There’s no need to discuss this common knowledge.”

“Don’t you think it’s scary to face second-year high school students as a first-year student? Moss had taken the college entrance exams in his second year of high school and had made it into Kyoto Institute.

“Now, he’s representing Kyoto in the competition and has never lost a match. In addition to what the other student said, don’t you think it’s terrifying?!” The brown-haired student shouted. His voice was hoarse as he spoke.

“F*ck! Exceeding level 35 in less than a year is insane! Moss already has a Magical Beast that’s as abnormal as him at just sixteen! So he’s a genius!”

“This student is good at both language and mathematics. You’ve shattered my expectations again.”

“It’s such a pity that I can’t tame magical beasts and compete with these students on the same stage. It was just one match, but I couldn’t get enough of it!”

…

When the brown-haired student expressed his feelings, wave after wave of comments emerged like bamboo shoots after the rain. However, this group of audience members was only a miniature version of the original.

Many spectators in the arena had become Moss’s fans after seeing his performance today. Even Moss was watching the match from elsewhere.

The reason was simple. Moss had become famous now, so sitting in the audience seats would feel cramped, and sometimes, people would take the initiative to strike up a conversation or ask for autographs. Thus, he could only watch the match from the team member’s viewing area.

Just as he was watching the matches, the unmistakable sound of the system’s notification sounded in his mind.
