342 Locke’s Analysis!
Locke was still attentively watching the center of the ring, and it was evident he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly retracted his gaze from the ring and turned to Jay Jie.
“I also thought about that when I watched Kyoto and Military University’s match. To be honest, I don’t understand it completely either.”
“Oh?” Jay Jie almost froze on the spot.
Locke said thoughtfully, “I’m telling the truth. I know why a direct attack will hit Moss’s shields with no energy reflection, but not why the energy would reflect on his shield.”
Locke noticed Jay Jie nodding and continued, “Let’s start with spiritual power. Moss’s current level has exceeded my expectations again. His spiritual power, in particular, has far surpassed his peers.
“Even Bishop, who had the most robust overall strength in this competition, could not compare to Moss in terms of spiritual power.
“Furthermore, the spiritual power Moss has displayed over the last two matches is getting stronger and stronger. I can’t even be sure of his current level.”
Jay Jie’s mouth was wide open as he said in disbelief, “Last time, you said Moss’s spiritual power had reached the low-level master stage. Now, you say its level is still increasing. Has his spiritual power reached halfway through the mid-level master stage?”
“It’s possible.” Locke nodded and smiled.
“This is unbelievable.” Jay Jie was still in disbelief. “It’s terrifying whether Moss was initially at this level or has grown to this level through the competition.”
“The Knight profession has the highest increase in spiritual power among all other professions. He might be more talented than the average person in the field of spiritual power.
“The reason he can perform like that is perhaps because of his talents. Sometimes, when I look at him, I feel like I can see the golden light from his body,” Locke praised.
“L-Light?”
“Oh, right!” Locke could not help but get excited at the mention of light. He could not hide the joy on his face.
He patted the confused Jay Jie and said, “I understand everything now.”
Jay Jie’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He was excited and said respectfully, “Professor Locke, please share your thoughts with me.”
Locke nodded and said, “When we mentioned light, I suddenly had a thought. I can’t believe I figured it out.”
He hurriedly took a sip of water and continued, “That’s what I thought about your question earlier. Moss’s spiritual power reached halfway through the middle-rank expert level by fusion of his spiritual power and Absolute Defense or understanding of this fusion.
“You should have seen it just now. Moss can already deflect energy by 60 degrees. That was tougher than the previous match against Aerospace, where Moss only gathered energy and released different amounts of it.
“It also means that Moss has improved. Some energy passed through him, but some didn’t, which had different effects on his shield.
“My analysis is that Moss has changed the nature of the attack energy through Absolute Defense that he fused with his spiritual power.”
“Oh? What changed?” Jay Jie’s eyes widened as he asked.
“In other words, the energy beam that came out of his body is the energy that went through the fusion of his spiritual power and Absolute Defense’s amplification.
“Let’s say this energy is his Absolute Defense-amplified, and the energy that struck the shield in his teammate’s hand was the energy that Absolute Defense had not amplified.
“It could also be the initial appearance of Absolute Defense, which was as if the energy gets absorbed or dissipated, and there would be no transmission situation.
“The energy that Absolute Defense had amplified was then under Moss’s control. However, I thought before that the energy coming out of his body should have the same effect as when it comes into contact with a shield with the same Absolute Defense effect, which is to have an angle change again after passing through the shield.”
“Professor Locke, your analysis is brilliant. Please explain why the shield reflects the amplified energy,” Jay Jie said respectfully, trying to suppress his excitement.
Locke smiled and said, “I overlooked two points previously. One is that the energy Moss’s Absolute Defense has amplified might have some attributes. The other point is that Moss’s shield has a mirror-like characteristic.”
Jay Jie nodded and looked at Locke with eyes full of anticipation.
Locke continued, “I think the energy that Moss’s Absolute Defense had amplified should have Moss’s light attribute.
“The speed of the energy beams that could pass through his body was faster than before they entered his body. I just didn’t pay much attention to this in the beginning.
“Moss gave the energy light attributes. In addition to Moss’s mirror-like shield, I can explain why the energy will get reflected when it comes into contact with the shield.” Locke was shocked by his own analysis.
“Light attribute. Mirror attribute.” Jay Jie mumbled to himself in shock.
Then he thought of something and said in shock, “According to your analysis, can I understand it this way? When Moss’s spiritual power is more potent, the light attribute that enthuses the energy is more robust. Then, wouldn’t the energy that passes through his body be able to reach light speed?
“T-That would be equivalent to him transforming beams into lasers, and his teammates who held his shield could also form two rows of shield arrays in front and behind the opponent.
“It allowed the energy endowed with the light attribute to get redirected back and forth between them. Wouldn’t that be enough to defeat all opponents? This is too terrifying.”
“Theoretically, that’s the case. However, it’s too difficult to achieve such an effect. It was already solid enough to allow it to reflect light at the speed of light. I’m afraid only time can tell if it can achieve such speeds.”
Locke paused briefly and continued, “I understand what you’re thinking. You feel that if Moss can use his skill in a large-scale battle against Magic Beasts, it will have an excellent effect. However, I don’t think his Absolute Defense is that invincible.”
“Oh?” Jay Jie was surprised and felt regretful.
