‘No way!’

Red Spider was shocked when she saw the close-up of the Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep Moss had just tamed.

‘An adult sheep would not stand up and cheer, while a juvenile would not be so tall.’

Red Spider searched her mind for information on Magical Beasts, and a hint of shock appeared on her expressionless face just a moment later.

‘Why does that juvenile remind me of the legendary Sacred Tabu Sheep?!’ Red Spider’s eyes glinted.

The Sacred Tabu Sheep typically wore golden decorations and heavy armor. It would look domineering and majestic whenever an armor-wearing knight mounted it.

‘Yes, it looks just like a Sacred Tabu Sheep!’

Red Spider was looking forward to what Moss’s sheep would look like all grown up. Then she saw Moss’s intimacy with the sheep was at level 99 and became shocked again.

“That’s impossible. How can a newly tamed Magical Beast have that level of intimacy with a person?” She asked Hank, who was beside her.

A smile appeared on Hank’s face as he responded, “Theoretically, their intimacy is valid. In other words, the beast prefers B-666 as its master. The beast might have also sensed that B-666 was willing to submit, or maybe B-666’s spiritual power was more intimate.

“Still, this is also my first time seeing a newly tamed Magical Beast with an intimacy level of 99.” Hank shook his head in disbelief.

After listening to Hank’s explanation, Red Spider decisively gave Moss 20 points. However, the supervisors only gave Moss 16 points because they thought Moss had only tamed a sheep, which was not a high-leveled ferocious beast.

After doing some math, Moss obtained a final score of 19 points. When the students saw Moss’s score, they broke into an uproar.

The Guardians were even more excited as they ran toward Moss one after another and congratulated him.

“You’re amazing, bro! You scored 99 points on your intimacy level?!” Alan was the first to run toward Moss, giving him a big hug. Then he whispered to Moss, “Do you have a cheat or something? Let me have it.”

The two best friends laughed after Alan whispered.

“I hope you claim first place in this phase, Moss!” Mill brightly smiled as she exclaimed. She could not express her admiration for Moss in words.

Baylon and Bass also rushed over to congratulate their captain.

…

The beast-taming assessments finally ended after nearly seven and a half hours. The exciting moment when the instructors would announce the students’ results was about to arrive as the students stared at the big screen with anticipation.

“Who do you think will claim first place this time?”

“It’s hard to say. The instructors have yet to announce the results for the beast-taming test’s first segment.”

“Could it be A-110? He completed the first segment smoothly. The number of Magical Beasts he fought was also shocking!”

“But he still failed his first two attempts. He only chose a Flying Demon Rat on his third attempt to be safe.”

“I think B-66 will claim first place. He got the highest score overall in the beast-taming segment.”

“It’s also possible for A-066 to get first place because he tamed a Lightning Rabbit and a Giant Turtle!”

“There’s still a gap between that and B-666’s intimacy level. Besides, no matter how many beasts one tamed, the instructors and supervisors will score them based on their best performance.”

The students were getting anxious from waiting when the results finally appeared.

“First place: B-666. Magical Beast resistance assessment: 20 points. Beast-taming assessment: 19 points. Total score: 39 points. Current level: 23.”

The students were amazed when they saw B-666 in first place, accompanied by his scores.

“B-666 is incredible indeed. He got a full score in the first segment. I wonder how many beasts he fought in an hour.”

“B-666 is still a sophomore too. My sister likes students who are younger and stronger than me.”

“B-666 is my idol from now on!”

When the Guardians beside Moss saw their captain’s results, they immediately surrounded him and threw him into the air, cheering their hearts out.

The teachers and instructors were also very excited when they saw Moss’s results. Hank was so happy that he could not close his mouth. He praised Moss repeatedly, “Incredible!”

Accius was also ecstatic. “I did not expect one of my students to claim first place!”

Even Flying Wolf admiringly nodded when he saw Moss’s serial number on the screen. However, he was delighted that Duke had won this year’s best graduate award.

Red Spider was the most thrilled out of everyone. It was as if she saw Safin’s within Moss. She knew Moss would even have a brighter future.

…

The students quieted down when the ranking and serial numbers appeared. Especially after seeing the top 225. Some could not handle the pressure and even started crying.

Then Red Spider’s voice sounded. However, her tone was no longer cold. Instead, it was enthusiastic. “Today marks the end of the second phase and the beginning of the third.

“Those who ranked in the top 225 don’t get complacent, while those below 225 don’t feel discouraged as we will enter the third phase tomorrow. Students can score 60 points in this phase, so your time in the training program is not over yet. You still have a chance to rise through the ranks as long as you persevere.”

Red Spider paused, stood up, and continued, “We will test everyone’s knowledge and strength in this phase, as well as willpower. Finally, I leave you with this sentence, ‘If you fail, try, try again.’ That is it for today. Dismissed!”

Red Spider’s words instantly encouraged the low-spirited and discouraged students as they became even more excited for the next phase.

…

Later that night, the stars shined brightly, yet Moss did not fall asleep. He thought about the past when he had just arrived at the training camp.

He obtained first place in two individual events during the first phase, even though he was not favored. Then he emerged victorious four consecutive times during the battle tests and finally reached the top 150.

He worked hard and thought of solutions alongside his team in the first segment of the second phase and ultimately obtained first place in the beast-taming assessments.

Moss had risen from a level 20 knight to a level 23, successfully catching up to Duke, making him one of the highest leveled students.

At this stage, Moss had become more proficient with his Beast Communication, improving his interactions with Magical Beasts. Still, what made him most happy was that his spiritual power had improved exponentially.

In addition, he had also comprehended the genuine connection between his knight’s spirit, Holy Belief’s value, and spiritual power. Moss discovered that he could obtain more Holy Belief value through activating his knight’s spirit.

He could now transmit his Holy Belief to his teammates through his spiritual power, instantly increasing their battle awareness to create more terrifying combos. Of course, he could also activate his potential with Holy Belief.

Moreover, Moss verified that he could increase his spiritual power by continuously tempering his knight’s spirit and Holy Belief value.

He was in deep thought when the system sounded in his head, “Congratulations, you have unlocked another achievement: Extreme Champion. You have obtained 5 Holy Belief values.”

“Current Holy Belief value: 65/100!”

‘That means my spiritual power has increased again!’ Moss was delighted.

Tomorrow was a new day, and Moss had made prior preparations. He was ready to face the final assessments from a fresh perspective.
