Chapter 315
315 Treat Me to a Big Meal to Commemorate This Explosive Luck!
The advancement to the top 16 from the top 32 differed from the previous matches. The teams had completed one-half of the competition and moved on to the next half.
In other words, the teams fought in A1, A2, B1, and B2. Each half of the competition, from the top 32 to the top 16, co-occurred in the four half-zones. There would be one match in each half of the zone every round.
The highly anticipated match between Kyoto and Donghu began in the first round. Simultaneously, Vietnam University and Shennong University competed in the A1 half zone, ring one, while TZ University and Youth University competed in the B1 half zone, ring three. In contrast, Ocean University and Endeavor University competed in B2, ring four.
Aurora’s opening speech brought the atmosphere in the arena to a new height. Even though Ocean University’s match occurred in ring four, most audience members focused on ring two.
“Moss, although I think your plan is fine, I still feel uneasy. Especially later on, you’ll most likely be facing a second-year student.” Nat frowned as she looked at Benedict and Yamos, a second-year student from Donghu, in the ring.
Clang!
“Don’t worry about me. If you and Noel meet a first-year student, your number of matches will be the most important.” Moss threw up his hands, looking completely unconcerned.
Moss noticed Nat still looked troubled and realized he had spoken too seriously, so he quickly changed the topic.
“You don’t need to worry about him. With your strength as the seventh in the national college entrance exams, you have no problem handling the first-year student.
“We don’t have to worry if we encounter a second-year student. At most, we can just let this match go. We must believe in our seniors. Even if we don’t win a single match, they will still obtain five victories.”
Nat felt much more at ease after hearing Moss’s words.
After carefully savoring what Moss had just said, Nat was thrilled and almost shouted. ‘It seems he acknowledges my ability very much and treats me as one of his own.’

Then she felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. She felt the distance between her and Moss shorten again. At the same time, she also felt she was not as reserved in front of Moss as before. Slowly, she started to find her true self in life.
Seeing Nat’s blushing face, Moss thought his praise had embarrassed her, so he said even more seriously, “Ned, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. I was telling the truth just now. Your strength is enough to crush them. You just have to make sure you can participate normally.”
“Yes, yes!” Nat nodded heavily, her beautiful face turning even redder.
Looking at Nat’s flushed and delicate face, Moss could not help but discreetly shake his head. ‘Nat is good at everything. She’s beautiful, strong, humble, and kind; her awakened profession is a Dragon Disciple. The only thing is that she’s always shy. Then again, she’s beautiful when she’s shy.’
“Woo!”
As the cheers echoed, Moss turned his gaze back to the center of the arena. Then he heard continuous comments about the match that had just ended in ring two.
“As expected of the defending champion!”
“Kyoto’s students are of top quality! It’s easier for the Apothecary to fight the Great Swordsman!”
“That Benedict isn’t as straightforward as I thought. I didn’t see him fight before, so I assumed he was weak!
“Kyoto is full of outstanding talents!”
…
Amidst the praise, Felix also walked up to the ring.
“Moss, you’re amazing. You were right about the first two! Donghu’s top six will be according to your deduction last night.” Charlie gave a thumbs up, his face full of admiration as he spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Previously, he had even doubted Moss. Now that he thought about it, the gap between him and Moss was significant.
“I’m just lucky. If I guess eight or more correctly, I’ll treat everyone to a big meal after the competition to commemorate my luck.”
Moss’s words sounded exaggerated, but one could not see any fluctuations in his calm expression. He was so calm that it felt a little unreal.
“Okay, I heard that. Everyone heard it, too, right?!” Benedict, who had just entered the resting area, quickly came over. He looked like he had found a treasure.
After saying that, he quickly turned around and said, “I’ll go make a list of Donghu’s lineup right now. Then he walked toward the organizing committee office.
“Look at that kid!” Bishop shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly.
“Captain Bishop, I think we’ll be able to enjoy this feast. Look at the painted expressions on Donghu’s leader and captain’s faces.” After saying that, Nat pouted toward Donghu’s resting area.
Hearing that, Bishop laughed and immediately became severe. He looked at Moss and said, “Moss, don’t forget what I said last night.”
Bishop noticed that Lisa, Donghu’s team leader, had a severe expression while rubbing her hands together. Bishop knew the order of appearance was advantageous to Kyoto.
However, he also realized Moss’s opponent would likely be a second-year student.
“All right, Captain Bishop. I will protect myself.” Moss smiled at Bishop, which made him feel at ease and convinced.
Bishop nodded and did not say anything else. He locked his eyes on ring two again.
…
The second match was over, and the score was 1:1. Felix, who had lost the match, did not feel discouraged. On the contrary, he felt very proud.
He dared to fight without any stage fright when facing Donghu’s sixth-best student, fully displaying the style of a first-year student from Kyoto. Even though they lost one match, they gained experience.
“Well done, Felix!” Bishop reached out his right hand and gave Felix a high five.
He then smiled at Moss and the others. “Let me take a few more hits on their spirit!” He walked toward ring two as he spoke.
“This match is going to be interesting. The best versus the best!”
“Is this a divine prophecy, Moss?!”
Kyoto’s team members praised Moss again as they looked at Ya Heng, Donghu’s team captain, already standing in ring two.
“These were lucky guesses.” Moss waved and changed the topic, “This match was not far-fetched. You guys better watch it. I promise you’ll learn a lot.”
Even though Moss said so, he was thinking the same thing. He did not want to miss such an excellent opportunity to increase his experience indirectly.
In a battle between experts like these, he would use his spiritual power to test the waters and compare them with his spiritual power to deduce their skills. It would be more effective in improving his spiritual power and combat experience.
With Moss’s words, everyone quieted down and focused on the match.
