Chapter 323
323 What is True Strength?
“Moss is not an Exorcist or a Beast King, so he doesn’t have the unique taming skills that Atwood has. However, he had previously attended the elite training program, so he must have learned some taming techniques.
Based on the Golden Liger’s reaction and expression, I could tell it had treated Moss as its master. Therefore, it’s necessary to use spiritual power to achieve this effect. From this point, I think Moss’s spiritual power is extreme,” Lisa’s eyes flickered as she explained with certainty when she saw the strong reaction from Ya Heng.
Through her analysis, she looked at Moss in a new light. Then she sighed and hurriedly added, “However, I’m not sure how potent Moss’s spiritual power is because I can’t see through it either.
As a middle-grade powerhouse, her spiritual power had only reached the late stage of a low-grade powerhouse. Hence, it was typical for her to be unable to see through Moss.
“Even Miss Lisa can’t see through it. Doesn’t that mean Moss’s spiritual power has reached the advanced stage of a beginner expert?”
“But he’s not even at the beginner level yet. Is that possible?”
“That’s right. Moss’s spiritual power is indeed too potent if that’s the case!
...
Lisa was puzzled when she heard her team members’ reactions. However, if it weren’t for Moss’s potent mental energy, the Golden Liger would not be in such a dazed state.
“Could it be because of his Magical Beast?” Lisa could not help but be shocked.
She cried out in surprise when she thought of Moss’s Magical Beast, “At that time, he had yet to summon his Magical Beast. Could it still affect the Golden Liger?” Asa frowned and asked in surprise.
Hearing this, the team members also voiced their thoughts.
“That’s right. Even if Moss kept his Magical Beast in his interspace dimension, the Golden Liger shouldn’t be able to sense his aura.”
“If that’s the case, doesn’t that mean Moss has an inherent advantage over professionals like Beast Kings? ”
...
After listening to her team members and thinking for a while, Lisa said, “At that time, Moss hadn’t summoned his Magical Beast yet. However, he had probably spent a long time with his Magical Beast, so he would have its aura.
“We might be unable to sense it, but for a beast with a susceptible sense of smell and perception like the Golden Liger, it can easily distinguish it. This might be the unique spirituality of beasts.”
“That’s possible. When Moss’s Magical Beast appeared, it forced the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf to its knees! The Sky-howling Demonic Wolf’s spirit was more robust than the Golden Liger’s!”
“If that’s the case, isn’t Moss’s Magical Beast a little too strong?” Ya Heng held his chin and continued speaking to Lisa.
“Atwood, you’re the one who experienced the whole thing. Tell me how you feel about it.” Lisa looked at Atwood. She genuinely wanted to hear what he had to say.
Atwood wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly, “Indeed, Moss’s Magical Beast was mighty. Not long after Moss summoned it, I also felt its intense spiritual power.
“It must have been this potent spiritual power that made the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf kneel. I didn’t feel any discomfort at that time. However, that Magical Beast made me feel extreme mental pressure in the ensuing battle.”
Seeing Atwood like this, Asa asked, “How did you feel at that time?”
“I-I felt an inexplicable fear, and what was even more unbelievable was that the pressure slowed me down, and I became increasingly terrified!” Atwood covered his face with his hands after speaking in a trembling voice.
“Indeed, Moss’s Magical Beast is not as straightforward as we thought,” Ya Heng said with lingering fear.
Then he thought of a suspicious point he always had and asked, “Atwood, I noticed the Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep’s horns didn’t hit you just now. Why did you look so pained? Were you in a dazed state?”
After a long while, Atwood’s ashen lips opened as he said, “I’m sure the Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep didn’t touch me, but I felt a stream of air colliding with me. The stream of air should have injured me.
“Besides the intense pain, I also felt my body numb, and my head started spinning!”
“Don’t tell me the Magical Beast also has stun and paralysis effects?!” Asa could not help but exclaim.
“In that case, the Magic Beast’s skill is similar to the Dragon Breath that Dragon professionals have, where one will be affected by the breath or airflow.” Ya Heng’s pupils contracted, his heart turned cold, and he couldn’t help but shiver.
The other team members also felt a chill run down their spines when they heard their captain’s words. It was usual for them to react this way.
“We know the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf is a high-level Magical Beast. However, Moss’s Magical Beast had a skill with additional stun and paralysis status effects. It also made the Sky-howling Demonic Wolf kneel.
“Anyone who knows about this would feel the same. Furthermore, Moss won the match with the help of his Magical Beast because Moss also possesses outstanding strength. Did you guys see Moss use that final move?
“Besides Moss’s Magical Beast, Atwood had a deep impression of the shield Moss had thrown like a flying poker card.”
Ya Heng gave him a thumbs up and praised, “Indeed, Moss had beautifully executed that move. He controlled the strength, angle, and speed very well.
“Although Atwood was affected by the Magical Beast’s additional status effects, Moss’s strength was still overwhelming. Not only did it knock Atwood’s hunting fork away, but it also knocked Atwood to the ground.
“I don’t think Atwood could take this blow so easily in his normal state!” Then he thought of something.
Ya Heng’s expression was first of shock, then curiosity, anticipation, and finally, a smile. “Now that I think about it, Moss didn’t use any weapons in his previous matches besides his shield. Also, he’s only a Knight who won the match without using a sword. What does that mean?”
After a short pause, Ya Heng said with anticipation, “Now I want to see what kind of performance Moss will show us in the next team battle! He is always able to turn the impossible into possible.
‘Suppose the Magical Beasts can compete alongside the students in the later matches. In that case, Kyoto will undoubtedly have an extra helper. Since it’s eleven against ten, their chances of winning will increase sharply!’ Lisa sighed inwardly.
With those thoughts in mind, she glanced at each team member kindly and confidently. She comforted them, “We didn’t lose this match in vain since our opponent had a move like that. If it were other teams, they might not be as good as us.”
She extended her right hand toward the team as she spoke. The team members gathered around and put their hands on Lisa’s
“We can lose the competition, but we can’t lose our confidence. We can make a comeback next year!”
Lisa noticed the atmosphere had improved, so she led everyone to shout, “Let’s go, Donghu!”
“We got this, Donghu!”
...
The atmosphere was lively as their chant echoed throughout Donghu’s resting area.
